Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You can’t go!” Ji Manlin stopped Gu Ning at once. If Gu Ning left, she wouldn’t be able to find that man’s number.
“Security guards, please help me take this lady away. She’s standing in our way,” shouted Gu Ning.
When they were arguing, the security guards already came, but they didn’t stand out right away because it wasn’t serious.
Now Gu Ning shouted for them, so they needed to pull Ji Manlin away.
Ye Jiasheng had ordered them to satisfy their needs whenever they needed anything.
“Miss Ji, please don’t bother our guests, or we’ll throw you out,” said a security guard seriously. He was unwilling to mess with Ji Manlin, but he had to obey Ye Jiasheng’s order.
“You…”
Ji Manlin was mad, but she knew they weren’t joking and she didn’t realize so many people were watching her until now. In order not to embarrass herself, Ji Manlin had to give in right now. She decided to chase them after they were out.
However, right at this moment, Ji Manlin’s friend walked out after changing clothes, and they were going to have fun in a bar later.
Ji Manlin was mad, but had to let Gu Ning go, because Gu Ning obviously came here to take part in the gambling competition. They would stay in City Ao for a few days, so she could see them again.
However, right after Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the hotel, they noticed that someone was following them. They felt it wasn’t Ji Manlin, but a man who was good at kung fu.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting guessed it might have something to do with tomorrow’s gambling competition. Gu Ning had defeated many skilled gamblers last time, so she became their target.
No matter what the man’s purpose was, they let him follow them and did nothing yet. They wanted to know what the man wanted to do.
There was a large park near the hotel, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked towards it.
There weren’t many people in the park right now, but there were a few, so the man couldn’t take action right away.
Since Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting wanted to know what he planned to do, they had to give him the chance to take action. Therefore, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked away from the crowd.
Because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting seemed to be a couple, it wasn’t strange that they walked away from the crowd. They might want to have a date in a quieter place. As a result, the man didn’t realize that he was already exposed.
When there was no one around them, the man didn’t stop them, but took out a gun to point at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn’t see him, but they carefully listened to what he was doing. Once the man pointed a gun at Gu Ning, they knew it was dangerous.
Without delay, they turned to look behind them and caught the man holding a gun. The next second, the man shot a bullet.
Because the gun was equipped with a silencer, the gunshot was very light and could barely be heard.
The man was scared when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting suddenly turned around and saw him, but he already fired the gun, so he thought his job was done. He had to quickly leave after he was exposed. However, something surprising happened at this moment. Gu Ning dodged the bullet and Leng Shaoting appeared in front of the man in a second. Shortly after the man made a step, Leng Shaoting stopped him.
Before he could react, he felt someone grab his wrist and break it. In pain, he felt he was also robbed of the gun. Afterwards, his belly was violently hit and the pain caused him to spasm. However, it wasn’t finished. His two arms were dislocated and his ankles were broken too. The man felt great pain and thought the person was too cruel. Besides, the person was too strong! He could hardly fight back.
Cruel?
That man tried to kill Gu Ning, but Leng Shaoting couldn’t kill him. What was worse, that man aimed to kill Gu Ning with a bullet.
Leng Shaoting didn’t stop until the man couldn’t struggle at all. If he could kill, he would definitely kill the man after the man fired the gun at Gu Ning.
“Tell me, who sent you?” Leng Shaoting asked seriously and the man was out of breath under the great pressure. However, the man refused to say anything.
“Kill him if he refuses to tell. No one can see us anyway,” said Gu Ning, then she picked up the gun dumped by the man on the ground and pointed it at him.
She wasn’t really going to kill him, and simply wanted to scare him. However, because she looked serious, the man was terrified.
Even if he didn’t believe she would really shoot him, he was worried that she might fire the gun.
Besides, given the way Gu Ning talked and moved, the man was sure that she must have killed before.
This time, the man messed with someone he shouldn’t offend. Therefore, he immediately said, “I don’t know who the hirer is. I received a call and the caller offered me a million yuan. The caller wanted me to kill someone and she’s the target. As for the money, the caller put it somewhere in the suburb and I’ll go pick it up by myself. The caller gave me five hundred thousand yuan as a deposit. I’ll be told the location of the other five hundred thousand yuan after I finish the task. From the beginning to the end, I’ve never met the caller, so I don’t know who the caller is. I only know that the caller is a man. I’ve tried to find out who the owner of the phone number is, but it’s been registered without an ID card.”
The man tried to figure out who the caller was in order to know who paid him to kill. If he failed, he could save his life by telling the truth, but he didn’t find out who the caller was.
Although it was against his work ethic to plan to betray the hirer after he failed to finish the task, his life was more important. He only abided by work ethic when he was safe. No one would be willing to risk his or her life for work ethic.
The caller was just a hirer, not his parents.
According to the man’s answer, it was impossible for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting to find the hirer.
“Do many people know your phone number?” Gu Ning asked.
Since the man said that he had never met the caller and had found out the caller’s number was registered without an ID card, they couldn’t conduct an investigation from the ID card, or the phone number.
Gu Ning wasn’t fully convinced by his words, but she needed to collect as much information as possible before carrying out an investigation by herself.
