763: Wherever the heart is at ease is my hotown.
763: Wherever the heart is at ease is my hotown.
“Need to repeat that?”
Jiang Chen crouched, maintaining eye level.
Outside, the wind howled and the rain poured down.
Tang Xiaosheng’s face turned ugly as he slowly placed the phone down.
Having followed Geng Long for over a decade, rising step by step from a simple thug to beco a renowned big brother in the southern region, he knew Geng Long’s temper all too well.
Being able to quickly grasp his flight information, he certainly understood these people were extraordinary.
Yet, Tang Xiaosheng had never imagined that Geng Long, who appeared to have connections everywhere, had just now dared not to say a word.
That’s right.
He didn’t dare.
Geng Long had remained silent and hung up the phone, undoubtedly showing his intent to stay completely uninvolved with this matter.
Which ant.
At this mont, he had beco
——an expendable pawn.
“I’ve already told you, I really don’t know.”
Tang Xiaosheng clenched his teeth but still refused to give in.
Jiang Chen remained expressionless.
“The surveillance in the neighborhood shows that Fang Qing was kidnapped in the underground parking garage.
If we continue to check the road caras, it won’t be hard to find the car and the criminals’ tracks, it’ll just take a little ti.”
Tang Xiaosheng’s gaze flickered uncertainly.
“You’ve already made the call, now I’ll give you another chance to choose.
Tell where Fang Qing is and save us so ti.
Otherwise, I’ll send you abroad.”
Send him abroad?
A hint of confusion flashed involuntarily in Tang Xiaosheng’s eyes.
“Are you planning to go to the Philippines?”
Jiang Chen spoke slowly, his voice calm, “That’s too far, Korea is closer.”
“What do you an?”
Jiang Chen stood up, “I’ll have a friend in Korea et you.”
Tang Xiaosheng’s face changed.
As an underworld big brother with countless evil deeds, he understood all too well what this ant.
Going to Korea, he was bound for a dead end.
Anyone could simply dig a pit and bury him there, and no one would bother to investigate.
At most, he’d just be considered a missing person.
Looking up at the young man who had been indifferent from start to finish, Tang Xiaosheng, a man with many lives on his hands, couldn’t help feeling a chill crawling up from his heart, spreading quickly through his body, cooling his once fiery spirit.
“Send him on his way.”
Seeing two n approaching him, Tang Xiaosheng’s defenses finally crumbled completely.
Once a street hoodlum who may not have feared death, but now tis had changed.
Back then, he had nothing to lose, but the corrosion of wealth and luxury had long since altered that desperate young man.
“…I’ll talk.”
————
Long Group.
Geng Long stood before the nearly hundred-ter-tall floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the gloomy sky.
Indeed, with the arrival of autumn, the weather turned gloomy as well.
Not sure how long Jing Jing had been standing there, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Mr.
Song, there’s sothing I’d like to report to you.”
————
An old residential building.
A delivery man knocked on the door, his raincoat still dripping wet.
“Your delivery.”
“Thank you.”
The polite man who opened the door took the delivery and closed the door behind him, retreating back to the bedroom.
“Lawyer Fang, I’m going to untie your hands now, but you need to promise , don’t think about running away, okay?”
Facing the man’s probing look, Fang Qing silently nodded.
Ah Can set down the delivery, walked over, and untied the rope from Fang Qing’s hands, though her feet remained bound.
“Eat up.”
He handed over the breakfast he had ordered.
Fang Qing was cooperative, or rather rational, not displaying any violent behavior and simply ate.
Ah Can was very satisfied and began to eat his own breakfast.
Outside, the rain continued to fall.
Inside, the two ate in silence, the atmosphere surprisingly harmonious.
“There’s also a cup of soy milk.”
Ah Can reached out.
Fang Qing passed it to him, “You’re still young, it’s not too late to turn back now and start over.”
Ah Can grinned.
“I know you lawyers are good with words, but it’s useless in front of .
Lawyer Fang, save your efforts, when the ti cos, I’ll naturally let you go.”
“Where’s Dao Ge?
Why isn’t he here?
You leave these things to you guys, while he hides behind the scenes?”
Ah Can wasn’t provoked.
“Without Dao Ge, there wouldn’t be today.”
“You said before that you don’t know Dao Ge.”
Ah Can was taken aback, facing the calm lawyer, he grinned, “From now on, don’t speak, Lawyer Fang.
I don’t want to have to tape your mouth shut.”
Fang Qing ignored him, “Even if I don’t go to court, the law firm will appoint another lawyer, what you are doing is pointless.”
“Whether it makes a difference or not is not for to decide, nor for you to say.”
Ah Can’s smile faded, “Lawyer Fang, I asked you to be quiet, OK?”
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Suddenly, a knock ca from outside the door.
At this mont, it sounded particularly eerie and chilling.
Ah Can frowned, his face showing alert as he was about to get up and tie Fang Qing up again.
“Ah Can, it’s , open up!”
The shout ca through.
Ah Can paused, his caution instantly disappeared, although sowhat puzzled as to why Dao Ge would suddenly co over, but without overthinking it, he turned back with ease and walked to the door to turn the knob.
“Boom!”
Before he could fully open the door, a strong force ca from the outside.
The door, forced open, knocked Ah Can off balance, and before he could recover, several unfamiliar n with stern faces burst in.
One of them, without saying a word, swung his leg skillfully and wildly, delivering a kick to Ah Can’s abdon.
“Bang!”
Ah Can flew several steps backward, crashing into the cracked leather sofa and tumbling to the ground.
The loud disturbance outside startled Fang Qing in the bedroom, who, with her feet still bound and sitting on the bed unable to move, had no idea what had happened.
