I was not surprised when I received the call from Jiang Ming.
The car was chugging along the motorway and when the phone rang, I didn’t answer it, deliberately waiting for the call to stop and then letting Jiang Ming call a second time.
Chu Xiaoxiao probed over to take a look and asked, “Why didn’t you pick up?”
“To frustrate him.”
I finished, counting the time when the call was about to reach the call time, before I pressed the answer button.
Jiang Ming’s tone sounded nonchalant.
“You’re quite the swordsman.”
I said, “Each to his own.”
“Threatening me won’t get you anywhere, I don’t take threats well.”
“I didn’t threaten you, did I. Is it possible that Yue Zhengjun has contacted you? Yue Zhengjun is the murderer of your second uncle, if the murderer contacts you, please contact us in time.”
My words put Jiang Ming in a dumbfounded position; he couldn’t admit that Yue Zhengjun had been in contact with him.
Otherwise, with that statement, I could help him to be arrested and interrogated for a few days again, and no one in their right mind would want to go into a guardhouse.
I heard the sound of something being smashed on the other end of the line, followed by a grunt of anger from Jiang Ming.
“Release Moon Man Mountain.” Jiang Ming said to me, not wanting to talk any more nonsense.
“Are you begging me or ordering me around?”
“Zhang Chao, don’t get ahead of yourself. I don’t have to do this.”
“Then let’s take a gamble. Is your life important or Han Kun’s life important. Or maybe you want to die together, if that’s the case, that’s good, after you die your third uncle might be so loving that he’s willing to give himself up for others. I think you know your third uncle better than I do.”
“Han Kun can’t wait long.”
“Yes, but my patience is also limited and lasts as long as Han Kun’s life.”
We both lapsed into silence, the two of us separated by the phone but like two cheetahs ready to pounce and tear each other apart.
Through the phone, I could hear the extreme anger Jiang Ming was suppressing underneath his calm.
He was a man who could not stand to be coerced because it was his pleasure to coerce people.
I was actually uneasy, wondering how Jiang Ming would make his choice.
He’s a pervert and one can’t think in normal terms about what a pervert would do.
He could have done anything.
Jiang Ming is like a mad dog, powerful, unafraid of death, without morals or regard for logic.
This kind of person is the most terrifying of all.
When Jiang Ming was silent, I didn’t say a word, but I was apprehensive and really afraid that Jiang Ming would go crazy.
After half a day, Jiang Ming said, “You let the man go first.”
“You don’t have the right to call my bluff.”
“Zhang Chao! Don’t get ahead of yourself!!!”
“It’s not just Han Kun’s life that’s being dragged.”
Jiang Ming’s teeth clacked on the other end of the phone.
It wasn’t only holding guns to each other’s heads that was called confrontation; sometimes it was the unseen confrontations that were the most thrilling.
After a long time, Jiang Ming said, “You better not be lying to me.”
When he said that, I knew I had won.
Of course, I didn’t expect to be able to fool him into breaking his promise not to release Moon Man Mountain after saving Han Kun.
Jiang Ming was no fool, there was no way he would let his third uncle give Han Kun enough blood at once.
For the amount of blood Han Kun was bleeding, having a person to supply him with blood might not be enough.
Jiang Ming said: “Within a quarter of an hour, my third uncle will give Han Kun his first blood transfusion, but you know very well, don’t you, that Han Kun won’t need just one transfusion. I hope to see Yue Mangshan within half an hour.”
“It will take at least an hour, half an hour is not enough.”
Jiang Ming returned to laughing in anger, “I’ve lived for so many years and there are fewer and fewer people who can threaten me, you definitely count as number one.”
“I’m flattered.”
“You and your mother are practically carved out of the same mould.”
“I’m a man, and I hope you don’t have the same shameless fantasies about me that you had about my mother, or it won’t be as simple as being disemboweled.”
“Oh, you’re quite funny. You’re just like your mother, cold-blooded and extreme, neither of you look human, you look like monsters. Funny funny funny.”
I was so disgusted that I almost threw up into the phone, who was this idiot to say that about my mother. If you want to talk about cold-blooded extremes, who could be more cold-blooded and extreme than him?
Is there anything more ridiculous than being called a monster by a monster.
Jiang Ming let out a long sigh, as if he was laughing and crying: “Hey, it’s really great. This game is slightly more interesting, Zhang Chao, I’m even a bit reluctant to let you die. You must live well and only die at my hands, or else I’ll be bored again.”
I said, “Then don’t worry, as long as you die quickly, what you’re worried about won’t happen.”
“Hahahahaha, your mother and I said the same thing.”
I was sick of saying one more word to this pervert, especially thinking that he had a crush on my mum, and I was annoyed for my dad.
And it was f*cking bizarre that he couldn’t repress this perverted emotion when he’d been disembowelled by my mother.
I hung up the phone straight away.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Zichen called me, saying that Jiang Yunyi was already testing the blood and would soon be ready to give Han Kun a transfusion.
“It’s just that Jiang Yunyi, damn it, hates to donate drop by drop. What’s going on, it’s like Jiang Ming is still holding you to this.”
“Waiting for me to release Moon Man Mountain, I’m going to pick up Moon Man Mountain now. It won’t take long to get there, you help me find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Yunyi.”
“Already keeping an eye on it. Tell you one more thing, I’ve asked someone, it’s not that the nearby blood bank doesn’t have any blood in stock, it’s just that ……”
“What?”
“Do you know, Chen Yu Zhou his grandfather’s family, is a medical family.”
“Chen Mengyun is a doctor in your hospital, that I do know, it’s Chen Yuzhou’s sister-in-law.”
“That’s right, the Chen family is quite prominent in the medical system in Ning Province, and I heard that they had someone hold us back from transferring blood. I suspect it was Jiang Ming who moved it.”
I frowned, “Nine times out of ten, it was Jiang Ming.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange? These things are unlikely to be impromptu, they must have been prepared in advance. But how on earth did Jiang Ming prepare all this in advance.”
My knuckles clacked together.
Zhao Zichen said, “I don’t think it’s right, this could well be a trap.”
“Even if it’s a trap, I still have to save Han Kun. But, don’t worry, he’s not the only one who can be a good hunter. Besides, he can only be a fox at best.”
“What’s your best idea?”
I laughed, “I can’t say right now, but it’s not a bad idea.”
“f*ck you, playing mysterious again. By the way, if I don’t go to Ningcheng tomorrow, I’ll schedule tomorrow’s surgery, I’m a doctor, I’m busy.”
“Who said no, eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Leave on time. It’s just a Jiang Ming, it’s not important enough to be that important.”
It was actually only a twenty-minute drive to the place where Moon Man Mountain was being held, and by the time we hung up this phone call from Zhao Zichen, we were already at the place.
It would only take forty minutes to get there and back, so I deliberately told Jiang Ming more than I should have, not to be an ass, but because I had other things to do.
The headlights of the SUV were dwarfed by the two headlights at the entrance of the camp.
Cai Xiaobing turned his head as he said to me, “Captain, I’ll go down and talk to them.”
He got out of the car, saluted the soldiers standing guard with guns at the entrance, and then pulled out his ID.
Quickly, the other man took his papers and looked at them, saluted him too, and afterwards ran to present Cai Xiaobing’s papers to his superiors.
Lin Yue’er asked curiously, “Where is this place?”
“Shhh, don’t look around here and don’t ask any questions.” I said.
The two of them were not nosy and asked no more questions.
After a while, a couple of soldiers let us out of the car, verified our identities and then checked our car.
“These two ladies are not allowed in.”
