Chapter 249 - Fishing (1/2)

“How is he?”

“He’s still unconscious. The doctor said that we have to look at tonight’s condition,” Wang Hao said. They detected potassium cyanide in his coffee. The mine owner was lucky that he only had a small sip, or else he would not be able to see the light anymore.

“Uhm, okay. Hao Zi, I need a favor from you.” Xu Lan put his hand across Wang Hao’s shoulder and said in his ear.

“S… Sir!” Wang Hao was so shocked that he was speechless. How long has it been since Xu Lan had mentioned his nickname? It was since Xu Lan borrowed money from him!

Wang Hao sensed that Xu Lan encountered some issues, thus he did not bring it up. Furthermore, Xu Lan was fired after a few demotions, it was not appropriate if he continued to address him ‘sir’ in front of Lao Chen! So he stopped calling him that.

“S… Sir, you can tell me about it. I will definitely go no matter what!” The skinny young lad stared at Xu Lan with a determined gaze and said without hesitation. Xu Lan laughed and waved his hand to signal Wang Hao to leave. They had to plan this chess game!

Not long after, the mine owner regained consciousness. Hu Cheng lightly tapped away cigarette ashes and looked at the person on the hospital bed, shocked. Meng Chengjun also rushed back and circled the mine owner while he gasped for breath.

“He’s awake? That’s lucky,” Meng Chengjun said with a smile, but his tone made others uncomfortable.

The mine owner was not entirely a good person, it could be even said that he had a rather poor track record. He did quite a number of bad things, where he allowed others to invest in his mining land to do real estate. He also tempered in the timber industry and marked up the price of the wood so that he could pocket a huge amount of profit. The caretaker did not foresee that the mine owner had not been to the mine and gotten pneumoconiosis. That was the reason why ‘Sparrow’ was not able to get his attention! Therefore, he changed his plan and started threatening the mine owner.

The mine owner was terrified of death as he had a family back home and he had not finished spending his earnings yet. He came over to file a police report sobbing, where he was entertained by Lan Er. Then, it was followed by all the things that happened next.

“Director-General Hu, Officer Xiao, you guys have to save me! I don’t even know if the thing that’s haunting me is a ghost or a man, but I’m sure that they’re crazy. They wouldn’t stop hassling me!” The mine owner held onto Xu Lan because he was the person nearest to him. It was frustrating to look at those reddened eyes.
