Chapter 74: Chapter 71: I’m Just Following the Rules!
With Jiang Min’s skeptical expression, Wu Liang tucked the official-issue handgun into his waistband.
Standing together on the roadside after descending the stairs, Jiang Min seemed like she wanted to say something more, but eventually could only leave with the words: "Using a replica gun to shoot someone is illegal too... be careful."
Since she couldn’t change the outcome of death no matter what, she might as well choose to trust Wu Liang, especially since he had already experienced several supernatural events with her.
Now, her trust in Wu Liang even exceeded that in the officials.
Watching him leave, Wu Liang’s gaze turned toward the direction that creepy Porsche had driven off.
Creepy, huh? Let’s see who between us can play more perversely!
......
Jiang Tao Hong drove the Porsche back quickly to the garage at home.
At this moment, his face still showed some signs of anger, even tending to flush red.
Thud thud—
Sitting in the car, he banged the steering wheel twice, and ferociously said through gritted teeth: "Damn it! That treacherous woman! Daring to cheat on me behind my back!"
"You can only be mine! Mine!"
His expression grew increasingly hideous, even imagining the two adulterers cuddling sweetly in the room, which filled him with a severe sense of betrayal.
"Just wait until I have you... I’ll teach you to behave obediently... you only need to submit to me to get everything you want... hehehe..."
Soon, Jiang Tao Hong began to fantasize about how obedient Jiang Min would be after becoming his woman.
Under this inexplicable fantasy, the originally resentful and angry face gradually started to turn lecherous, creating a stark contrast with his otherwise sharp suit and polished shoes.
The hypocritical image of a gentleman was vividly portrayed at this moment.
Bzzt bzzt—
Just as his saliva was about to drip down in his fantasies, his nearby phone vibrated.
Glancing at the incoming number, Jiang Tao Hong coughed twice to quickly compose himself, straightening the slightly disheveled tie caused by his earlier anger at the steering wheel.
Returning to the image of a successful gentleman, he finally answered the call.
"Hello, Director Zhang, what can I do for you?"
"Rest assured, everything for Tuesday’s banquet is arranged! After all, it’s my sister’s hotel, quietly putting something in won’t attract any attention."
"You must also fulfill your promise to me, the female journalist coming to interview afterward must be delivered to me unharmed."
Upon reaching this point, Jiang Tao Hong’s face once again began to display a sleazy expression.
But the words from the other end of the phone quickly changed his expression drastically.
"What did you say?! That woman just applied to not attend this banquet for the interview?"
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Tao Hong immediately linked it to the possibility that he had just exposed his whereabouts, which might have frightened Jiang Min.
She might have already guessed that the banquet arrangements were related to him!
No no no! That’s not acceptable!
Thinking of this, Jiang Tao Hong immediately said with a sinister expression: "That’s unacceptable! I missed our first date to help you put things in place, and the second time has already left a bad impression of unreliability on her!"
"Otherwise, she might have fallen for me on the first date! It’s all your fault!"
"Director Zhang, you’re her immediate superior, you must find a way to make her attend this banquet!"
"Otherwise! I will inform the police about everything you’ve done!"
After saying this, Jiang Tao Hong hung up the phone without caring what the other party thought.
As the phone screen returned to the home screen, looking at the photos of Jiang Min taken from all angles on the wallpaper, he leaned in to take a deep breath, seemingly able to sniff her scent through the photos.
His emotions slightly stabilized.
It won’t be long before that woman is his!
He had been waiting for this day for a whole year!
Ever since he saw this woman a year ago, he had been deeply infatuated with her.
But due to various obstacles, he was previously ordered not to contact her, so he could only get information and photos of her through various channels.
But now it’s different!
Chengyang City... is about to change!
Click—
Opening the car door, Jiang Tao Hong adjusted his clothes and stepped out.
He was really looking forward to Tuesday’s banquet!
Even thinking of Jiang Min lying in his bed now, he felt a rush of excitement and confusion.
Fortunately, he was currently keeping a small-time celebrity at home, so he could go upstairs to ’exchange ideas’ with her and calm down his emotions.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Tao Hong walked toward the elevator in the parking garage with a smile, preparing to go upstairs.
Thud—
As soon as he entered the elevator, a black gun muzzle was pressed against his forehead.
Being a rich boy who often played in shooting clubs, although most of the time he played with guns that weren’t in his hands,
Jiang Tao Hong was quite familiar with this feeling.
The cold touch and the threat of death instantly dropped the high and mighty head, similar to a frightened puppy tucking its tail and looking dejected.
Feeling guilty for all the shady things he had done, Jiang Tao Hong immediately closed his eyes and knelt on the ground with his head bowed.
Raising both hands, he said in a trembling voice: "Brother... what do you want? Need money? I can give you! Whatever amount you want! Don’t be impulsive!"
Seeing him kneeling to beg so proficiently, the other party couldn’t help but chuckle coldly and asked: "Oh? Aren’t you curious about who I am?"
"I understand! I understand the rules! One should never know your appearance or identity, otherwise, you’ll eliminate me!" His voice trembled as he was about to cry: "I didn’t wrong you to the point of wanting to kill me, did I?"
Click—
Upon hearing the sound of the gun being cocked against his forehead, Jiang Tao Hong shivered all over, almost peeing himself.
"Who knows?" Wu Liang said mockingly.
He didn’t expect this guy to be such a coward in front of real threats.
Earlier he had heard him far away in the car, arrogantly plotting and pointing fingers with a loud voice.
Yet now that a real threat appeared, he immediately turned spineless.
It’s baffling how such a person had the guts to play undercover, nor is it clear why he was deemed worthy by the "Promised Land" to have his memory altered with the Monkey Claw.
"No, no, no! Brother, listen to me, you gain nothing by killing someone, and possessing a gun is a serious crime, why not ask for money? State your amount, I won’t inquire your identity!"
Seemingly sensing that the other side was unmoved, Jiang Tao Hong appeared a bit flustered.
He still had so many things left undone and hadn’t yet gotten Jiang Min, how could he die like this?
"Possessing a gun is a serious crime? But I’m conducting business by the book!"
Wu Liang said sarcastically.
Then he spoke with a straight face:
"Jiang Tao Hong, for attempting to assault an official, you are now under arrest, and also tried to seize the gun for counterattack, what kind of crime would that be?"
Bam—
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire burst from the gun muzzle...
