Chapter 31 The Tracking Master (1/2)

At Chaotian Gate.

Jiang Hao stood on the ancient gate tower, watching the green water of the Jialing River rolling forward. She was in an upright position, being a superb view in the eyes of others.

Ning Tao climbed up the gate tower.

”Here you are,” Jiang Hao began but she didn't look back.

Walking over to her in silence, Ning Tao gazed into the distance. At the end of his line of sight, the green water of the Jialing River met the brown water of the Yangtze River, the clear merging with the turbid.

”You go first,” said Jiang Hao, turning her eyes to Ning Tao's face.

”No, you go first,” refused Ning Tao.

Su Ya's kidnapper warned him not to call the police. For the safety of Su Ya, he had to consider whether to tell Jiang Hao about it.

Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment before she asked, ”Did you go to Lin Qingyu's house last night?”

Ning Tao paused for a moment, and then nodded.

Jiang Hao went on, ”I've been given a mission. Don't ask me what it is. I can only tell you that it has to do with Blueprint Biotechnology Company. According to intelligence I received, Lin Qingyu asked you to treat her brother Lin Qinghua, so you have the opportunity to contact Lin Qinghua. I want to ask you a favor.”

In fact, without Jiang Hao revealing the details of her mission, Ning Tao guessed it was related to Lin Qinghua's project of ancestor seeking. For a split second he wanted to tell her everything he knew, but just as he was about to blurt it out, the image of blood-stained Su Ya reappeared in his mind, putting him under great pressure.

”You got something on your mind?” Jiang Hao's powers of observation were amazing, far beyond anyone else's.

Ning Tao instantly calmed down and said, ”Go on, I'll tell you my story later.”

”Lin Qingyu believes in you and I have absolute confidence in your medical skills. I want you to take Lin Qinghua to some place we can control. The place has been decided. In addition, I would like to ask you to do an investigation for me if possible. Will you do me this favor?” When Jiang Hao stated these words, she didn't take her eyes off Ning Tao's face, but this time she didn't notice any obvious changes in Ning Tao's face— his face was as calm as a mirror that could reflect a person's image.

Ning Tao didn't respond right off the bat.

Jiang Hao added, ”Don't worry, we'll make sure you're safe.”

Ning Tao made up his mind and replied, ”Okay, I agree. If the Lins ask me to treat Lin Qinghua again, I will find an excuse to take him to the place you have arranged for treatment. As for the other things, I will try my best.”

A rare smile played across Jiang Hao's lips. ”A 'thank you' is not enough to show my gratitude, but I want to say it anyway. Thank you.” After a pause she continued, ”You said you had something to talk to me about. What is it?”

”When are you going back to Beidu?” Ning Tao asked.

”Is that all?” Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

”This is no small matter. I promised you that Jiang Yilong had to kneel in front of your mother and apologize when I cured him.”

”I was planning to go back to Beidu in two days, but I suddenly got the order. I don't know when I can go back,” Jiang Hao said. ”I probably won't be able to go back until the mission is complete. But it isn't urgent, and can be put off.”

”I've promised to do you a favor. Please do me a favor. Ask your mother to come over and let Jiang Yilong kneel in front of her and apologize,” Ning Tao said.

Jiang Hao's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity. ”Hey, there's no hurry about it. Why do you insist on my mother coming?”

”What I promised must be done. Will you help me?”

”I have to ask my mother. I can't help it if she doesn't want to come,” Jiang Hao said. She couldn't understand why Ning Tao was so stubborn about this matter.

Ning Tao paused before saying, ”This is no small thing. I'm a very principled man. If you don't help me, I won't help you.”

”You...” Jiang Hao mouthed wordlessly at Ning Tao.

In the end, Ning Tao gave up the idea of telling Jiang Hao what was on his mind.

It was Jiang Hao's mission that prompted him to give up.

Even special police like Jiang Hao had been called in to deal with this matter, and the police even established intelligence for it, so it was clear that the person who kidnapped Su Ya was not an easy one to deal with. How could he risk Su Ya's life for the convenience of solving the problem?

”Well, I agree.” Jiang Hao compromised. ”I'll book my mom's flight online right now. You must do what you promised me.”

Ning Tao nodded. ”Whatever I promise, I will achieve. I'm going back to have a preparation. Wait for my call.”

”Are you going now?” Jiang Hao's tone was a little strange, but she didn't even realize it.

”Wait for my call.” Ning Tao left without explanation.
