Chapter 281: Walking with Ghosts
His mind went blank, and he instinctively wanted to touch the gun, but Pennington was already one step ahead of him, and pressed the muzzle of the black hole against his eyebrows.
Pan Nington sat on the passenger seat and closed the car door with his hand, and Nan Zeyu's hairs stood up when he saw it. As much as he was tempted to see what the consequences of resisting would be, Pennington seemed to read his mind, staring sarcastically at him with smiling golden eyes.
Nan Zeyu frowned, feeling that the other party's hand holding the gun was unusually stable, which reminded him of the stories he had heard about the various inhumane strongholds being "bloodbathed" by Pennington when he was in the Neon Country. These exaggerated and bloody rumors did not look at all alarmist at the moment, and he quickly weighed the situation, then nodded lightly in feigned meekness.
A hint of surprise flashed across Pennington's wrinkled face, as if he couldn't believe that Nan Zeyu would cooperate like this. Then, he leaned forward and quickly pulled out Nan Zeyu's matching gun with his right hand.
Nan Zeyu held a cigarette in his left hand and a mobile phone in his right hand, not daring to make a sound or move, so he could only watch in despair as Pennington threw his gun out the window. Then, Pennington glanced at his phone again, and he knowingly rushed to the phone and said, "I see, I'll contact you when I think about it." After saying that, he reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Give it to me. β
Many thoughts flashed through Nan Zeyu's mind for a moment, but he didn't dare to take risks easily after allβhe had seen Pennington shoot at Wan Guohou with his own eyes at Qianfeng Academy, and the large blood stains on his chest left an indelible impression on him. Obviously, there is really no reason to talk about this murderer. So, he handed the phone to Pennington.
Pennington threw away Nan Zeyu's mobile phone without hesitation, then pointed the gun at Nan Zeyu's waist and ordered, "Drive!"
"Where are you going?" Nan Zeyu asked obediently, holding the steering wheel with both hands.
"Whatever, if you're happy, go to your house. Pennington grinned, "I'm not kidding. He shook the gun in his hand, "I'm a bad temper, if there's anything that makes the head of the hall uncomfortable......" he deliberately stopped.
Nan Zeyu glanced at the P226 in his hand and didn't dare to say anything.
"Oh, yes, I remember, I haven't killed the director of public security yet. Pennington said happily, "I don't know if I will set a new record today." β
Nan Zeyu gritted his teeth and reached for the seat belt, but Pennington handed him a strange thing.
"Don't let me teach you how to use it, right?"
Nanze Yuhu suspiciously took a look at it, and it turned out to be a cartoon-shaped seat belt buckle. He looked at Pennington in shock, "It's against the law......"
Pennington interrupted him, "Isn't the Unkind Society doing less of the illegal things?"
Nan Zeyu had nothing to do, so he had to awkwardly insert the buckle into the card slot. Oh, Pennington also concocted the same method, and disposed of the seat belt of the co-pilot.
"This old thing, it's really thoughtful, damn. Nan Zeyu thought hatefully, and couldn't help blurting out, "You came prepared, right?"
Penning smiled wryly, "If you weren't prepared, there would be at least fifty of you in this mall, right?"
Nan Zeyu listened sarcastically, and could only knock out his front teeth and swallow blood. "If you don't say the destination, then I'll really go to my house. β
"Okay, just let me see your wife and children. Pennington said maliciously, "I haven't seen your daughter in months, and I miss it a little." β
Nan Zeyu started the car with a pale face, deliberately keeping a low speed, "Aren't you afraid that there is an ambush at my house?"
"What are you doing in ambush in your own house? Watch your daughter fall in love with Xie Maniaxin, or watch your wife decorate the house?" Pan Nington said smugly, "I really can't see that Director Nan has a quirk of peeping on his own family. β
Nan Zeyu was stunned, "You spy on me?"
"Each other, each other. Pennington slouched back in the passenger seat, but the gun in his hand didn't change its direction at all. "Actually, what I want to say is that it's not easy to meet you. β
Nan Zeyu chewed on this sentence and gradually came back to his senses, "You want to see me?"
"Not bad. Pennington replied, "I robbed your daughter's purse, went to school to kidnap your daughter, and even watched a boring Chinese New Year movie, all just to meet you." With that, he smiled bitterly.
Nan Zeyu glanced at Pennington with his peripheral vision, he didn't want to look directly at those golden eyes. "What are you looking for me?"
"I have a couple of things to ask you, and by the way, do you have anything to ask me. Pennington was silent for a moment, and gave an answer that puzzled Nan Zeyu.
"You have a gun, you ask first. Nan Zeyu dealt with Pennington while thinking quickly: "Although the mobile phone is lost, there is GPS in the car, Bo Peng and they can't find me, most likely they will think that something is wrong, they will definitely be able to track me with GPS." β
"Then you're welcome. Pennington's face sank, "Why did you arrest me?"
Nan Zeyu was stunned, feeling that the other party was joking, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the other party in surprise, "How old are you this year?"
Pennington sneered, "Your intelligence work is not very good." β
"I just don't think you're asking this question like a 74-year-old would ask. Nan Zeyu spoke, while quietly glancing in the rearview mirror, and found that there was no car following him. He frowned, "Where did Bo Peng's group of people die?"
"The director of public security is no more than that. Penning said sarcastically, "You don't have a brain." β
Nan Zeyu pretended not to hear the obvious mockery, he was silent for a few seconds, and then tried to squeeze out a sincere smile, "Please tell me, why do you think I want to arrest you?"
"I don't know. Pennington said slyly, "This is what I am asking you, and you should answer." β
Nan Zeyu had no choice but to reply, "You have destroyed so many branches of the Buren Society, and you have a bunch of lives on your hands, how can you be at ease outside?"
Pennington shrugged. For some reason, this action made Nan Zeyu feel familiar, and he tried not to be distracted, but focused on the crisis in front of him, "I said something wrong?"
"I asked why you were arresting me. Pennington paused, "It's not that the Unkind Society wants to arrest me." β
Nan Zeyu was stunned, he pondered the meaning of this sentence, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Forget it, I'll ask a different question. Have you seen me before?"
Nan Zeyu whispered: "I've only seen a few old photos that are not very clear. β
"Then do you understand me?" Without waiting for Nan Zeyu to answer, Pennington continued to speak to himself, "My family, my relatives, my life, everything was told to you by Kujou Harukotomi, right?
"Because you killed my mother!" Nan Zeyu's forehead burst into green tendons, "I don't need anyone to tell me!"
Surprisingly, Pennington did not retort or fight back, but let out a long sigh, as if exhausted. "This matter, I'm sorry for you. Pennington said with difficulty, "But I am not your enemy. β
Nan Zeyu's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly, "The Kujou family and the Hannover family have been at odds for generations, you don't have to talk about it here." If you don't kill me today, the next time we meet, I will kill you also to avenge my mother. β
Pennington smiled dumbly, "Why do you think I won't kill you today?"
Nan Zeyu sneaked a glance in the rearview mirror, but still didn't see the car that was following him. "Because, I am your hostage, and if I die, you will not live. β
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Pennington's golden eyes, but it quickly dimmed. He took off the cap from his head, and a snow-white half-length hair slipped out. At this moment, he looked like an old and sad old man.
Nan Zeyu glanced at Pennington and then withdrew his gaze, "You don't look like the same person as the photo I saw before." β
"That's because I'm old. Pan Nington said lightly, "If it were you, you would be hunted down by the Buren Society every day, and you would hide in XC for decades, and your appearance would change a lot." β
Nan Zeyu was keenly aware that the "murderous aura" on Pennington's body seemed to have subsided a lot, and he glanced at the dashboard and secretly calculated how long it would take to drive to reach his destination. If Bo Peng's idiots can't find his car for a long time, then he will have to rely on himself to capture Pennington.
Nan Zeyu suddenly remembered that on the road to Nanjia, there was a road where the street lights were almost all broken and had not been repaired. Perhaps, he could make a sharp turn on that road and shake the gun out of Pennington's hand. Then, try to ......
"Don't try to get me. Pennington said suddenly.
Nan Zeyu "coughed" embarrassedly, "I'm just looking at the time, I'm not sure what time it will be when I get home." β
"At your current speed, it's going to take at least an hour. Pennington grinned, "You don't think I don't know your little bit of the ghost, do you?"
Nan Zeyu was at a loss, "You're not me, don't guess." β
"Do I need to guess? You want to arrest me, you want to kill me, but you can't do it right away, because I'm so important to you. Pennington paused, "If you had caught me earlier, you wouldn't have had to go so hard to Tokyo to find an unrelated Englishman." Unfortunately, no matter how much you check, you can't find the Amber Palace. β
Nan Zeyu's heartbeat immediately accelerated, this was the first time he had heard someone from the Hanover family take the initiative to mention the Amber Palace. "You don't have to pretend like you know where the Amber Palace is. He deliberately provoked, "The man in charge of the Hanoverian family is Mouss, and with your style, if I were Mouss, I would never tell you where the Amber Palace is." β
"Tsk. Pennington slammed his mouth, "You talk like a stunned boy who is afraid that others will not know what he is thinking." β
Nan Zeyu was furious, "Why are you talking to me in such a tone!"
Pennington couldn't help laughing, "Do you recognize my claim?"
Nan Zeyu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "So, do you know where the Amber Palace is?"
"I know. Pennington nodded, "But I can't just tell you. β
Nan Zeyu pondered for a few seconds, "How can you tell me?"
"A few months ago, you went to Banyeting, where I lived. Pennington said, glancing in the rearview mirror, "You see those pictures I put on the wall, right?"
"Yes. β
"Did you see the ghost in the picture?" asked Pennington with a serious expression.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Nan Zeyu sat up straight nervously, attracting Pennington's disgruntled gaze.
"Most of the photos have ghosts on them. Pennington's tone was very solemn, "It's the pictures of you." β
In Nan Zeyu's opinion, this sentence is really inexplicable, "You say I'm a ghost?"
"You are, and so am I. When Pennington said this, it seemed that he had suddenly aged several years again, "I am a person who should have died a long time ago, and you are just wasting your life." β
Nan Zeyu saw a dark blue car in the rearview mirror and seemed to be following him. The color of the car made him wonder a little, because Bo Peng's group usually only drove black cars. He faintly felt that something was wrong, "Don't you go around the corner, just say it's okay?"
"Director Nan, you don't really think that Kujo Harumi will pass on the family business to you, right?" Pan Ning glanced at him and straightened his white hair with one hand, "I think he values his youngest son, Kujou Akihiko." β
Nan Zeyu's heart beat violently, and Pennington's words were like a poison-stained knife, poking at his sore spot. "Akihiko is in poor health, since you've investigated so much, you can't be unaware of this, right?" he licked his dry lips, trying not to let the other party hear his anger.
"Really?" Pennington deliberately dragged out his voice, "So, why did you come to China to study at university, but Kujou Akihiko went to England?
Nan Zeyu shook his head, "Akihiko went to the UK at a very young age, he is allergic to many things, and a slight change of environment will aggravate his condition." Things are not what you think. β
Pennington burst out laughing, "Nan Zeyu, you still think you are a smart person, you are just ...... by Kujou Harukotomi" Before he could finish his words, a row of bullets was shot into the car.
Pennington dodged sideways. The frightened Nan Zeyu looked in the rearview mirror and found that the dark blue car was speeding towards his Mercedes, and the bullet was fired from the car!
"Damn, I'm still in the car! these bastards......" Nan Zeyu didn't finish scolding, and another row of bullets swept over.
"Quick!" Pennington yelled, "will you drive?
Nan Zeyu pressed the window of the car and poked his head out, "It's my ......"
"Bang bang" two bullets hit the car door, and Nan Zeyu immediately retracted his head in fright. Anger rushed over his head in an instant, and he said in a dull voice, "Sit down." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed on the accelerator. Like a cat with its tail stepped on, the car rushed into the darkness ahead with a puff of smoke.
