Chapter 34 Man, You Are Too Arrogan (1/2)

t

The smell of blood filled the small room.

The man with a scarred face and the bald man were dead. Both had their carotid arteries cut open, bleeding all over the floor. It was not hard to imagine the situation— Brother Meng entered the door and found the hostage gone, while two of his people were lying unconscious on the ground. Without hesitation, he pulled out his knife and cut the two men's necks.

This was murder.

”Do you know what kind of man you're dealing with? How dangerous it was! If you weren't lucky, you and the girl would be lying on the ground!” Jiang Hao broke the silence between her and Ning Tao.

Ning Tao's mood didn't fluctuate a bit as he heard such words in such an environment. He was a go-between of good and evil who had both good and evil spiritual roots. His ability to adapt to such scenes was beyond the ordinary imagination.

”Promise me you won't act rashly again, okay?” Jiang Hao said.

Ning Tao nodded. ”Have you found out who they are and who is Brother Meng?”

”There isn't any identification on them and the technical department of Shan City police is investigating them based on their looks and DNA,” Jiang Hao replied. ”As for the so-called Ryan, Shan City police are also checking the surveillance footage. I'm sure there will be a result soon.”

”What about Wang Yaoyang?” Ning Tao inquired again.

”He was an import and export trader and his family settled in the United States,” Jiang Hao stated. ”He has no record of breaking the law and appears to be a legitimate businessman. If it were not for the information you offered, it would be difficult for us to doubt such a man. I believe there should be a buyer behind him. Someone or a hostile force has their eye on Lin Qinghua's ancestral project.”

”So I've made contributions to the case, have I?” Ning Tao asked.

Jiang Hao paused for a second before she understood Ning Tao's motives. She rolled her eyes at Ning Tao and quipped, ”If I say yes, are you going to use it to intercede for Su Ya?”

Ning Tao gave a bitter smile and said, ”She isn't a bad girl. On the contrary, she's very kind. You'll know it's true if you have a visit to the Sunshine Orphanage. For the sake of giving you such an important piece of information and helping you complete your task, please do not pursue her theft, okay?”

”Won't you help me if I don't agree?”

”No,” Ning Tao said.

”Wow, you're threatening me for a girl. What's your relationship?” Jiang Hao got a little annoyed.

”I'm an orphan, too, and I consider her my younger sister,” Ning Tao replied. ”She hasn't done anything terribly evil, and I want to help her as much as I can.”

”Do you think of her only as a younger sister?” There was a suspicion in Jiang Hao's voice and her eyes.

Ning Tao replied helplessly, ”Yes, of course. What do you think our relationship is? She's so young. How could you...”

Jiang Hao interrupted Ning Tao just in time and said, ”Okay, I'll help you.” Then she turned and went out the door. ”Let's go and see your younger sister. Her wound should have been treated by now. I must have a talk with her, and find out what she knows.”

Ning Tao gave a faint smile. Jiang Hao accented the words ”younger sister” on purpose, and Ning Tao didn't know what she meant.

As night came, thousands of lights were turned on forming a river of light.

A Buick commercial car came to an upscale western restaurant by the Jialing River and pulled up beside the restaurant.

Jiang Hao in the driver's seat took a glance at the message she had just received on her phone and frowned. ”Wang Yaoyang ran away. Shan City police didn't even meet him.”

Ning Tao, in the passenger seat, said, ”Brother Meng must have tipped him off. Did you guys find out who Brother Meng is?”

Jiang Hao clicked on a photo on her phone and handed it to Ning Tao.

On the screen of the phone was a certificate photo of the taxi driver whom Ning Tao met near the Happy Community.

”He's the Brother Meng you're talking about,” Jiang Hao said. ”His real name is Qiu Meng, and his domicile is in Liangshan province, but he hasn't returned for more than ten years. He had been a mercenary in Southeast Asia and killed several people. In short, he is a ruthless professional killer.”

”Too bad he ran away. If I had told you earlier, you would have caught him,” Ning Tao sighed, kind of regretting not telling Jiang Hao in time. As long as Qiu Meng was not arrested, Su Ya would not be safe.

”You don't have to worry about the safety of Su Ya. I've arranged for someone to protect her. I'm more worried about you. You took Su Ya from him, and he didn't get what he wanted. He's not going to let you go. So whatever you do, be careful.”

Ning Tao nodded and said, ”Got it.”

”Go inside. Lin Qingyu's coming,” Jiang Hao said and put away her phone.

”See you later.” Then Ning Tao opened the door to get off.

”Wait a minute.” Jiang Hao stopped him.

Ning Tao looked at her, and asked, ”What's up?”

”Your tie is a little askew. Let me adjust it for you,” When Jiang Hao answered, she already reached over to straighten Ning Tao's tie, without giving him a chance to say no.
