Although Jiang Ming pushed me to a less crowded area, though everyone’s eyes were fixed on my side of the street.
There weren’t many people left in the hospital now that Snow Leopard had brought the police over to clear the area, and passers-by could only watch from afar.
Jiang Ming was comfortable, unaware that the knife was hanging over his head, and pushed me over to the flower bed, then sat down by it.
Fox’s voice came over my Bluetooth headset.
“Report, target is obscured.”
Then Old Lee replied with the same report.
I didn’t say anything, there was no rush to kill him this instant anyway.
Jiang Ming was wearing a black trench coat, one sleeve tube was deflated, but it didn’t hide his suave look. I have to say, this guy was still suave despite his age, one of those older uncle types that young girls like these days. I reckon he wasn’t bad looking when he was younger, but my mother just couldn’t see him, and by the looks of things my dad would have been better looking.
I felt smug at the thought of this guy being my dad’s loser.
No matter how crazy he was, Jiang Ming still lost to my dad.
I said, “Boss Jiang, it looks like you have something to talk to me about today.”
“Just catching up on old times.” Jiang Ming smiled and said, “Let’s see if I can talk away the gun that’s been pointing at my head with a few words of catching up.”
sh*t, how did he know that?
I grinned leatherily, trying to contain my stunned expression.
No matter how shocked, I couldn’t let Jiang Ming see it.
I didn’t know if Jiang Ming was trying to trick me or if he had really discovered something to say that, but anyway, even if it was the latter, that wasn’t surprising, Jiang Ming was both perverted and extremely intelligent, and it wasn’t surprising that he could see through my arrangement in advance.
Jiang Ming said, “A little surprised? Not surprising, right? You want to kill me, this is a good opportunity. I would have been cold by now if it was your mother, but you are still Zhang Jun’s son. Zhang Jun is a man who is full of false benevolence and morality, but he is a woman and a man of mercy, and so are you.”
There was something wrong with this man, he couldn’t stop talking about my mother. He sounded like he had a lot of love for my mother, but in fact, when my parents were around, this guy was a big problem for my parents and did a lot of things that made people angry.
I sneered, “You knew I was going to kill you, and you still dared to come? It looks like Yue Zhengjun is pushing you pretty hard. How about using Yue Zhengjun to kill your second uncle and now how does it feel to have retribution backfire on you?”
“What does Yue Zhengjun have to do with me? I’m just here to pick up a world nephew.” Jiang Ming said with carelessness.
I knew he was afraid of my Bluetooth headset, afraid of what he might say and being recorded by me.
Although a confession is not incriminating, Jiang Ming certainly didn’t want to go back to the guardhouse for another walk.
I took off my Bluetooth headset. Anyway, Meng Meng could still see my gestures through the nearby surveillance, and they would be the first to receive my orders once I told the fox to shoot.
I smiled, “Say what you want to say, it’s hard for you to risk death to see me today, you must have a few things you must say to me.”
Jiang Ming was sitting under a street lamp, and I didn’t think there would be moths in winter, all the way above his head, flying around that street lamp, constantly crashing into it.
He smiled, “How could you be willing to hand someone over to me if I didn’t come myself, the Moon is making a lot of noise about the army.”
“So that means the man I’ve been searching for is home?”
He laughed twice, “Well, children should not learn to beat people to speak in a shady manner, do you dare to go to my house to search? Even if I handed Yue Zhengjun over to you, would you dare to arrest him? Now he won’t come forward, you won’t arrest, and everyone will have face to keep acting like this. Is the official family ready to take over the whole jianghu? No, I don’t think so. Zhang Chao, you are a member of the official family and come from a military background, you should know better than me.”
I didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Then you should also know that the government will not put up with people like you outside the law forever. This is a place where everyone is equal, and you are asking for death by doing this.”
“The tone of your voice when you say that, haha, it’s really exactly the same as your father. The only good thing Zhang Jun has done in his life is to leave behind a child like you with Ji Yanran. You can be my enemy, and I will definitely not be bored for the rest of my life.”
I cut in disdain, there must be something wrong with the brain in that statement.
Jiang Ming was excited, smiling with a flushed face and tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt as if he was quite happy.
Jiang Ming smiled and sighed, then said, “Yes, sooner or later there will be a battle. Have you ever read the Bible? Your mother loves to read more than you do. The Bible contains accounts of the Last Judgement, the battle of annihilation. I remember your mother and I saying that it is not this battle of annihilation that is important, but that it must be won. It’s the same for the officials.”
Jiang Ming patted his trouser leg with one hand and stood up, tilting his head to look around as if he was looking at the position of the sniper rifle.
He was actually exposed to the sniper’s muzzle by standing up like this, and the plants around him were too low to block his forehead.
Monk must have been on the other end of the monitor waiting for me to give the order to blow his head off if I made a hand signal.
Jiang Ming suddenly reached over and slapped me on the head, he moved quickly but I still saw his bracelet.
“Interesting, isn’t it, that this can record a heartbeat. As soon as my heartbeat stops, the car I drove here will explode. Your girlfriend and your brother are near the car, right? Ah, all it takes is one bullet and you can experience the loneliness I feel right now.”
Sweat came down on my forehead and I was tempted to inform Monk, but the Bluetooth headset was already off.
I hurriedly prepared to turn on the Bluetooth headset when Jiang Ming pressed my hand, “No need to be in such a hurry, they won’t be able to retreat even if you inform them.”
“Why?!”
Jiang Ming smiled and took out a Swiss Army knife, gestured at his neck and said, “If you inform them, I will kill myself. It’s this artery, isn’t it? If I cut it, my heart rate will drop to the safety index in ten seconds or so. Will your brother have time to run, and will your girlfriend have time to run?”
This kind of thing might not be possible for others, but Jiang Ming was different, he was capable of doing anything.
The angrier and more fearful I was now, the more pleased he was instead.
A demon like him feeds on the fear of others.
The only way to deal with him is to be more cold-blooded and desperate than he is.
I said, “You don’t have to make yourself out to be so unafraid of death either. If you really weren’t afraid of death, why didn’t you strap the explosives to your own body?”
Jiang Ming laughed heatedly, “I don’t want you to die.”
His shady smile and eyes, paired with those words, sent shivers down my spine.
Jiang Ming circled around and said, “Don’t you understand? If you die, where am I going to find such a fun toy again. You don’t know how boring and unbearable it was for me to live every day after your parents died, it was just torture, every day was boring and uninteresting, as soon as I opened my eyes I had to accept this dull day. You must understand that feeling.”
“Don’t get close, that’s my parents, I’m sad, but don’t understand a sick mind like yours.”
Jiang Ming shook his head, “I mean that feeling of utter loneliness and boredom. Every day I open my eyes and see all those stupid people, so stupid that I suspect they’re dogs, I’m a person living in a pack of dogs, and that’s how I feel every day after your parents are gone. Boring, downright boring. You must understand, we’re actually one of a kind.”
I should have expected that Kang Ming must have been prepared for this, if he dared to drive up here.
