Chapter 177: An Unexpected Surprise?
Chapter 177: An Unexpected Surprise?
"Sure."
Jiang Cheng readily agreed, causing Gao Songbai to feel a surge of joy. However, he still had some doubts and asked again, "Brother, you're not just saying this to trick me, and then leave me hanging after I bring the person here, right?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
In his heart, he thought, of course, I'll leave you hanging. I'll kill you after I'm done with you.
Why would I let you go?
Honoring promises is for the kind-hearted. When dealing with evil, one must use their own tactics.
"Okay, okay."
Gao Songbai echoed, still suspicious but with no better options.
Asking the other party to swear an oath? If they truly intended to kill, what good would an oath do?
He could only hope the other party would keep their promise.
Gao Songbai took out his phone from his pocket and, in front of Jiang Cheng, found a contact named Wan Yuliang. He dialed the number.
Almost immediately, the call connected.
"Hello, is there any news or leads?"
A hurried voice came from the other end.
"Hehe, yes."
Gao Songbai laughed heartily, "Just an hour ago, I received word from my subordinates that the murderer was hiding in Ruo Luozi Lane."
"What? Ruo Luozi Lane?"
Wan Yuliang was shocked.
"Yes, the place we..."
"That's right."
Gao Songbai nodded, "The guy is staying there, which is why we couldn't find him!"
He glanced at Jiang Cheng with a pleading look.
"He's been hiding here, no wonder we couldn't find him!"
Wan Yuliang clenched his teeth in anger, wishing to inflict a thousand cuts on the murderer who killed his mother.
And if the murderer had family, he wouldn't let them off easily either!
"Chief Gao, I'll bring my team over immediately! Don't do anything that might alert the suspect and let him escape."
"Hahaha, Wan Yuliang, do you think I called you to ask for your help?"
"Chief Gao, what do you mean?" Wan Yuliang's breathing quickened.
Could it be that Chief Gao has already caught the suspect?
It was a possibility.
"That's right. After a gunfight, we finally captured the murderer. He's currently in the room with the hidden basement. That guy is incredibly skilled, not only as a Primordial Energy Warrior but also an excellent marksman. My team suffered heavy losses."
Gao Songbai sighed, mainly because he knew that when Wan Yuliang arrived and saw the bodies, he might become suspicious.
If Wan Yuliang didn't come, he would be the one to suffer.
So, he decided to give him a heads-up.
"Is that so? I'm sorry, Chief Gao. Don't worry; I'll personally compensate the families of the deceased. As for you, Chief Gao, I'll bring a generous reward when I come. You've been working hard on my case these past few days."
"?"
Gao Songbai's heart sank as he listened.
He really wanted to say, no, don't bring it over.
But he agreed, nonetheless.
"By the way, Chief Gao, is the suspect still alive?"
Wan Yuliang's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
After all, if the suspect was dead, there would be no one to testify.
If alive, he could question and confirm, and then torture the suspect to death, just like he did to the others.
"Of course, he's alive. Otherwise, why would I bring him to that room instead of directly to the police station? I'm waiting for you to take custody of him."
Gao Songbai smiled.
"That's great!"
Wan Yuliang exhaled in relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Chief Gao, can you watch him for a bit? I'll go to the bank to withdraw some money and then head over.
"Alright, be safe on the road."
"Don't worry, Chief Gao, I'll be careful. I'll hang up now."
The phone emitted a series of beeps.
Gao Songbai also hung up and turned to Jiang Cheng with a smile, saying in a self-congratulatory tone, "Big Bro, I've made the call. You heard our conversation, and he'll be here soon. Not only that, he'll bring a large sum of money with him. Later, whether it's him or his money, they'll all be yours! Now, shouldn't you keep your promise and let me go?"
"Do I look like a fool to you?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at him.
"If I let you go now, you'll call him again?"
Gao Songbai was taken aback. That made sense, didn't it?
"No, Big Bro, that's not what I meant. I can give you my phone, and I can swear to the heavens that after leaving here, I won't notify him, and I won't send anyone to trouble you in the future."
"We'll talk after the person arrives."
"Okay, okay."
Gao Songbai nodded.
"By the way, there's one more question. Where does Wan Yuliang live? Who else is in his family?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Songbai's body turned cold, and he looked at Jiang Cheng in fear.
Was this guy planning to...?
"Speak."
Jiang Cheng's voice turned icy.
"Can you...spare his family?"
Gao Songbai's voice trembled as he said, "They...they don't know anything. They're innocent."
"Bang!"
A surge of anger rose within Jiang Cheng, and he smashed the butt of his gun into Gao Songbai's face, knocking him to the ground. He growled, "Then tell me, are Chen Hui and his family of four innocent?"
"They're innocent, they're innocent! Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I'll say anything!"
Gao Songbai was terrified and started crying.
"They live in the Four Seasons Garden Community, a high-end neighborhood. The building number is 26. I've been to his place for dinner. Besides him, there's his wife and two children."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He really wanted to shoot this scumbag in front of him right now.
But later, when Wan Yuliang arrived, he would definitely call him, and if he killed Gao Songbai now, it might expose his plan.
"You'd better not be lying to me."
"No, no, Big Bro, I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I can take you there later, as long as you don't kill me."
Gao Songbai pleaded desperately.
The reason he was reluctant to reveal Wan Yuliang's address was not because he was kind or sympathetic to Wan Yuliang's wife and children.
It was because he also lived in the same community!
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Wan Yuliang immediately called the boss and explained the situation. The boss did not object and readily agreed.
Wan Yuliang hung up the phone, and the smile on his face vanished.
"Xiao Yong."
"Brother Wan," a younger brother behind him asked respectfully.
"Call AQiang and the others, bring the gear, and wait in the car. We're going to a place later."
"Yes, Brother Wan!"
The younger brother behind him immediately took out his phone and called the others.
Wan Yuliang took a deep breath, suppressing his urgent heart.
He really wanted to drive to Ruo Luozi Lane right now and teach that murderer a lesson, showing him what it meant to be left with no choice but to die! But before that, he had to make a trip to the bank and withdraw some money from his account.
Thirty thousand might not even satisfy the boss's appetite.
