I hid behind a tree, not daring to breathe. I knew he couldn’t see me, but this cautious look on Zheng Yun’s face made me even more nervous.
Everyone was waiting in the bushes for my order. I couldn’t make a move yet, Zheng Yun must have the key in his hand, and we could only rush in if he opened this door and the man was in the room.
It was a short flight of stairs. Zheng Yun leaned his back against the door and waited for a while to make sure no one was coming out before he took out the key tremulously and inserted it into the lock hole.
I quickly scurried from behind the big tree to the front of the hut, then leaned my back against the wall and waited for Zheng Yun’s next move.
But at this time, he suddenly stopped moving as if he had sensed something, and stared back up the stairs for a moment.
I cursed in my heart, this old thing is possessed by a ghost? How did he become so perceptive?
Zheng Yun took a few steps up and looked around a few times, and I could hear his breathing.
Because this hallway was short, he could have rushed back in a few steps, and even if I had moved faster, he could have rolled down the hallway because of the struggle, and then quickly destroyed the walls and the mechanism in the door, burning everything inside to the ground.
I suppressed my breathing so that he wouldn’t hear anything unusual, the old thing’s senses were particularly acute tonight.
Luckily, Zheng Yun was not too bold and still did not walk out of the building. He was probably also afraid that the surveillance would catch him and soon, he walked back in, pulled out the key and unlocked the door, and quickly made his way inside the house.
This was the moment!
I rushed out like lightning and shouted Stop! Zheng Yun was startled by my shout and hurriedly tried to close the door, but I flew up and kicked the safety door, sending Zheng Yun backwards a step.
“You, don’t you come in here! I’m burning the house down!” Zheng Yun hurriedly got up from the ground, blocking the door with his body and yelling at me.
I also desperately pushed the door with my body and sneered, “Fine, go ahead and burn, you’ll die inside even if you burn.”
Only then did Zheng Yun remember that if the house burned down, he would be cremated straight away.
“Zhang Chao, you, you are trying to drive me to death, huh?!” Zheng Yun said in a crying voice, “What the hell are you going to do?”
“It’s not what I’m going to do, it’s what you’re going to do, Zheng Yun you don’t struggle, surrender is your only way out.”
“You, don’t even think about it. Zhang Chao will you let me go, I’m already an old man, will you give me a way out?”
“Your wife and children are all under my control, think about it, where can you escape to?”
I held my breath and yelled, “I’ll give you one last chance, get out of the way or I’ll do something about it.”
“I… I won’t!”
I laughed coldly, then slammed forward, Zheng Yun’s body was no match for me. He was knocked onto all fours by me.
I hurried into the house, Zheng Yun held his head, his hand fumbled in his jacket and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the roof: “You, don’t come over, or we’ll die together!”
I shouted, “Don’t come in!”
All the policemen were crowded in the doorway, and at my shout, they all stopped.
Bureau Yang pushed his way out from the end of the crowd and shouted nervously, “Zhang Chao, what’s going on?”
I laughed, “It’s nothing, I’ll talk to Zheng Yun, he wouldn’t dare to shoot.”
“I’m warning you, if you don’t let me go, I, I’ll shoot and we’ll all die together.”
I gestured for Yang Bureau to keep quiet as I pulled a stool for myself and sat down, taking a closer look at the room.
The room was ordinary, with three large cabinets on the east side of the wall, which were filled with documents and a computer.
In addition, there was a large table in the middle of the room, like a conference table, and there were several photos on the table.
“You put it down!” Zheng Yun said nervously.
I snorted a laugh: “Okay, we are both under the same guillotine now, if this house catches fire, I die and you die. I’ve been rolling around the ghost gate too long for this one, so why don’t you just shoot and we’ll try our luck at the ghost gate together?”
Zheng Yun’s face was red, he just couldn’t believe what I said, “You’re sick, aren’t you afraid of death?”
I took the photos and looked at them one by one, “You two couples are quite defensive, Zhou Jianguo must not know that you took so many photos of him.”
I saw that there were several other file folders on the table, so I took them all over. Inside were photos of different people taken secretly, I didn’t know anyone in Ningcheng, and I didn’t know who these people were, but I could imagine that the people in them were either rich or famous.
Zheng Yun was driving me crazy by this time, and his hands kept shaking.
I knocked on the table and said, “Okay, sit down, I know exactly how heavy this gun is, you can’t lift it for long, in a moment when your hands are sore, I can subdue you in an instant, just sit down and point the gun at the wall, aren’t there kerosene in the walls on all sides here too.”
Zheng Yun thought carefully, what I said made sense, he pulled away a stool and sat down.
“You came here today to take these, right? Where can you spare the burning? You’re dead even if you burn.”
Zheng Yun whispered, “Zhang Chao, you let me go, I, I can provide you with a lot of information.”
“It’s not for me to decide, you have a mountain of hard evidence here, you only have two ways to go, either turn yourself in or die.”
“Aren’t you afraid! You’re so young, die with me! You let me go! Let me go!”
I laughed coldly, “Zheng Yun, neither of us is a fool, so let’s just open up to the light. If I let you go, can you leave? You’re going abroad without a penny, can you afford to suffer this? Do you think Jiang Ming can still help you?”
“What, what Jiang Ming?”
Zheng Yun played dumb straight away, but that panicked look in his eyes was already exposed.
I laughed, “It’s all said and done, tell the truth. Uncle Zheng, I’ll call you Uncle Zheng with respect, don’t you think you’re being childish? You ran to Tong City and ended up running back, which means Jiang Ming didn’t give a sh*t about you, right?”
“I’ve said I don’t know any Jiang Ming.” Zheng Yun said nervously.
I glanced at the police outside and whispered, “Uncle Zheng, I know this Jiang Ming person better than you do, and he’ll dump you by the way after he’s done using him. What kind of person is Jiang Ming, he can even kill his own second uncle.”
“You’re nonsense.” Zheng Yun was really panicking at this time, and I knew that he was afraid that what I was saying was true.
I said, “Look at this leg of mine, that’s when it was broken. Jiang Ming used me to make a trap, and when his second uncle came to save me, he killed his second uncle by hand. You may not know that his second uncle had saved him countless times before this. Just like his second uncle, he can kill by hand when he’s done using him, let alone you?”
“No way, he won’t, if he dares to do this to me, I will definitely very much make him pay!”
I sneered, “Uncle Zheng, you are truly naive. Now that you’re in trouble, Jiang Ming isn’t even coming to your rescue, which means that no one cares about all the evidence you have. Let me tell you one more thing, your wife and son, they almost got killed today.”
“What?!” Zheng Yun was so surprised that his hand shook for a moment.
I said, “Zhou Jianguo almost killed your son and was saved by our Director Yang. He tricked your wife into getting on the stowaway boat, but the boat boss tied your wife up as soon as she got on board. If you don’t believe me, ask your son yourself.”
As I spoke, Director Yang had already brought in Zheng Peng, who had been brought up long ago with a piece of footwear taped to his mouth, and Yang Zhen had torn off the tape.
“Dad!” Zheng Peng opened his mouth in a crying voice.
“Peng, you, how are you?”
“That old dog Zhou Jianguo almost killed me, Dad, we’ve been tricked!”
Zheng Peng, a person with little brain, said everything in one stream, Zheng Yun was dumbfounded and his whole body froze as he listened.
I took the opportunity to seize Zheng Yun’s gun, and the police swarmed in and held Zheng Yun down.
I said to Zheng Yun, “Give a good confession, there is no other way for you to live but to cooperate.”
I said to Zheng Yun.
Yang Zhen had Zheng Yun taken away, and as Zheng Yun was pushed to the door, he suddenly turned his head to me and said, “Jiang Ming can’t be reached.”
“What?”
Zheng Yun repeated again and said through gritted teeth, “He, betrayed us! Set me up! I’ll make him pay.”
