“It’s illegal? I’m not afraid of the law at all!” Gu Ning arrogantly said to frighten them. Sometimes, it was necessary to be cruel.
Gu Ning wouldn’t promise that she wouldn’t kill people, but the person had to be her enemy or a criminal before she killed.
The three men didn’t know how to retort now. Since Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came here to find He Siyang, they must have some relationship with the He family. The He family was a well-known, influential family in HK, and it was very easy for them to kill and bury three unimportant people. They hesitated.
“Oh, by the way, He Hongyuan lost the gambling competition, so he can barely protect himself now, let alone you,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, the three of them were in despair.
Master Hongyuan lost?
They had received He Hongyuan’s call an hour ago, and He Hongyuan ordered them to find He Siyang as soon as possible. It sounded like it was an emergency.
They wondered back then whether He Hongyuan had already lost the competition, otherwise he wouldn’t have given that urgent order. If He Hongyuan was the winner, he wouldn’t ask for He Siyang in such a hurry.
They were worried that they would live a bad life if He Hongyuan lost. So although they didn’t know the final result of the competition, they still had to do their job well.
However, now Gu Ning told them that He Hongyuan was the loser, and they started to panic.
After hesitating for a while, they gave in. “Will you let us go if we tell you the truth?”
“As long as He Siyang is safe and sound. Your lives will be safe at least,” Gu Ning said. It wasn’t up to her how to punish them.
The three men didn’t know whether they should trust Gu Ning, but they could at least stay alive if they told her the truth. They didn’t dare to fight back after all.
The three of them exchanged a glance with each other.
Seeing that, Gu Ning thought that He Siyang was in danger, so she was annoyed at once. “Is He Siyang in danger?”
Leng Shaoting was a little jealous that Gu Ning cared about He Siyang so much, although he knew that she was just helping the He family.
“No, no,” they denied it without hesitation. If Gu Ning believed that they had hurt He Siyang, they would be killed right away.
“He Siyang just had some minor injuries, b-but he escaped yesterday afternoon. We’ve been searching for him all day, but he’s nowhere to be found.”
“What? He escaped?” Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. “Are you telling me the truth?”
“Yes! Although we captured He Siyang, we didn’t dare to do anything to him without Master Hongyuan’s order. He Siyang escaped yesterday when we weren’t paying attention to him. Ten of us have searched for him for a long time, but he’s still missing. The three of us went to the beach to search for him because it’s the only access to this island, but we noticed a yacht, so we ran back and hid.”
He’s still missing?
Gu Ning frowned. It wasn’t good news. There were poisonous snakes and wild animals on this island. Besides, he could also fall down the cliffs and be washed away by the waves!
“Let’s go search for him somewhere else!” Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting, and was about to leave.
Just as she turned, she stopped and coldly looked at the three men. “You better stay here. If any of you wants to run away, your life will be in danger. Good luck.”
Afterwards, she left the underground room with Leng Shaoting.
The three men were scared, because they knew that there couldn’t be only two of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting on this island. They must have come with their people as well. Besides, they were fastened by ropes right now!
…
A short while later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting ran into two men. It was obvious that the two men didn’t know that there were strangers on this island, so they swaggered over.
“We’ve searched around this island, but He Siyang is still nowhere to be found! I’m exhausted,” Man A complained in annoyance. He couldn’t wait to have a rest.
“Although this island isn’t very large, it isn’t easy to find someone. Come on, we still have to keep on searching. It’s Master Hongyuan’s order anyway,” Man B said.
“Tie Ge, why did Master Hongyuan order us to find He Siyang as soon as possible all of a sudden? Did he lose the competition, so he wants to hold He Siyang hostage?” Man A guessed.
“Stop guessing randomly. We just need to do our job.” Man B thought that they better not discuss the topic.
Man A pulled his lips. He was a little displeased.
“Who are you?”
They finally noticed a man and a woman standing not too far from them.
“We came here to find you,” Gu Ning said, then walked towards them, followed by Leng Shaoting.
“Who the hell are you?” Man A asked again.
Gu Ning didn’t bother to waste time on them. She gave Leng Shaoting a glance again, and they attacked the two men at the same time.
Seeing that, the two men fought back at once, but were soon under Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s control. Gu Ning also tied them up with ropes before she gagged their mouths with rags.
She knew that they didn’t know where was He Siyang, so she and Leng Shaoting kept on searching for He Siyang after tying them up properly.
After walking for a while, they encountered another two men, and Gu Ning directly tied them to a tree.
They had searched for nearly two thirds of the island, but still failed to find He Siyang. That being the case, it was very likely that He Siyang was in danger.
