Chapter 73: 71: I’m Just Following the Rules!
With a look of hesitation on Jiang Min’s face, Wu Liang tucked the official-issued pistol into his waistband.
The two of them stood by the roadside after walking downstairs together. Jiang Min seemed like she wanted to say something, but ultimately only left him with, "It’s illegal to shoot someone with even a replica gun... be careful."
Since she couldn’t change the outcome of death no matter what, she might as well choose to trust Wu Liang, after all, they had already been through several supernatural events together.
Right now, she trusted Wu Liang even more than the officials.
After watching Jiang Min leave, Wu Liang turned his gaze towards the direction where that perverted Porsche had taken off earlier.
Perverted, huh? Let’s see which of us is more depraved!
......
Jiang Tao Hong quickly drove the Porsche back to his home garage.
At this moment, his face still carried an angry expression, with a tendency to flush red.
Thump thump——
Sitting in the car, he slammed the steering wheel twice and said viciously, "Damn it! That damned woman! Cheating on me behind my back!"
"You can only be mine! Mine!"
His expression grew increasingly ferocious, even conjuring images of the two despicable couples whispering sweet nothings in a room, which gave him a severe sense of betrayal.
"Once I have you... I’ll teach you to obey... you’ll get everything you want by submitting to me... hehehe..."
Shortly, Jiang Tao Hong began fantasizing about Jiang Min becoming his woman and obedient to him.
Under this inexplicable fantasy, his previously resentful and angry complexion gradually turned lecherous, starkly contrasting with his well-dressed suit and leather shoes.
The hypocritical facade of a gentleman was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
Buzz buzz——
Just when he was salivating from his imagining, his phone beside him vibrated.
Glancing at the number, Jiang Tao Hong coughed twice to quickly compose himself, straightening the tie he messed up from angrily striking the steering wheel earlier.
Returning to the upright demeanor of a successful man, he then answered the call.
"Hello, Director Zhang, how can I help you?"
"Rest assured, the arrangements for the Tuesday banquet are already set! After all, it’s my sister’s hotel, no one will notice if I secretly put something in."
"You must hold up your end of the bargain too, make sure the female reporter attending the interview after the event is delivered to me unharmed."
Upon saying this, a lewd expression began appearing on Jiang Tao Hong’s face again.
But next, the words from the other end of the call made his expression drastically change.
"What did you say?! That woman just applied not to attend the interview for this banquet?"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Tao Hong immediately thought that perhaps he had exposed his whereabouts earlier, which scared Jiang Min.
Perhaps she already suspected that the banquet arrangements were related to him!
No, no, no! This can’t be!
With this thought, Jiang Tao Hong’s face contorted into anger as he said, "That can’t happen! We missed our first date because I was helping you put things there, and the second time left her with a bad impression of being stood up!"
"Otherwise she might have fallen for me on the first date! This is all your fault!"
"Director Zhang, you are her direct superior, you must find a way to get her to attend this banquet!"
"Otherwise, I’ll report all of your actions to the police!"
With that, Jiang Tao Hong hung up the phone without caring how the other person felt.
After the phone returned to the home screen, he looked at the screensaver full of secretly taken photos of Jiang Min from different angles, took a deep inhalation, as if he could smell her through the images.
Only then did he slightly calm down.
Soon enough, that woman will be mine!
He had been waiting for this day for a whole year!
From the moment he first saw her a year ago, he was deeply infatuated with Jiang Min.
But various obstructions and orders prevented him from directly interacting with her, so he could only obtain her details and photos through different channels.
Things are different now!
Chengyang City... is about to change!
Clack——
Jiang Tao Hong opened the car door, straightened his clothes, and got out.
He was eagerly looking forward to the Tuesday banquet!
Even thinking about Jiang Min lying on his bed made him feel fiery desire.
He hurried upstairs to find a young girl student he supported to vent his urges, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to go to work with this heat tonight!
With this thought, Jiang Tao Hong walked towards the parking lot elevator with a smile on his face.
Thump——
As soon as he entered the elevator, the muzzle of a black gun pressed against his forehead.
Being a playboy who frequently visited shooting clubs, although he mostly didn’t play with real guns.
Jiang Tao Hong was quite familiar with this sensation.
The cold feel of the gun and the threat of death made his previously straightened chest sag down instantly, like a wounded puppy putting its tail between its legs in fear.
His guilty conscience caused him to instantly kneel on the ground.
Raising his trembling hands, he said, "Brother... what do you want to do? You want money? I can give you! Anything you want! Please don’t be reckless!"
Seeing him kneel and beg so skillfully, the other person couldn’t help but chuckle coldly and ask, "Oh? Aren’t you going to ask who I am?"
"I understand! I get the rules! Not knowing your appearance and identity means I won’t be silenced!" His voice trembled, almost breaking into tears: "I didn’t offend you enough to warrant being killed, did I?"
Clack——
Hearing the sound of a gun being cocked against his forehead, Jiang Tao Hong shivered all over again, almost wetting himself.
"Who knows?" Wu Liang said sarcastically.
He didn’t expect this guy to be so easily intimidated.
He had overheard him confidently plotting inside the car from afar just moments ago.
Now, faced with a real threat, it was amazing how quickly he turned into a coward.
How does someone like him even dare to stalk, let alone be qualified to have his memory altered by the Monkey Claw in the Promised Land?
"No, no, no! Brother, listen, killing won’t get you anything, and carrying a gun is a serious crime. Why not seek financial gain? Name your price, I won’t inquire about your identity!"
Feeling the adversary was resolute, Jiang Tao Hong seemed a bit panicked.
He had so much left undone, hadn’t even gotten Jiang Min yet, how could he die like this?
"Carrying a gun is a serious offense? But I’m just following protocol!"
Wu Liang said slyly.
Then, he took out a bottle of liquor he bought on the way from his pocket, tossed it on the ground, and solemnly said:
"Jiang Tao Hong, intoxicated, attempted to assault an official personnel, resisted arrest, and tried to snatch a gun in retaliation, what crime is that?"
Bang——
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash erupted from the barrel...
