Chapter 195: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Late at night, in a secluded and beautiful small courtyard on the outskirts of the magic capital, a man with a bandage on his upper body woke up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć He struggled to sit up, feeling the pain in his abdomen as if it was about to tear open.
There was no light on in the room, and he fumbled in the dark for a while before slowly getting out of bed. He clumsily bumped into the foot of the bed, inhaling in pain. He subconsciously wanted to bend down to rub his toes, but as soon as he bent over, his eyes were in pain.
He had no choice but to hold his stomach with one hand and the wall with the other, and slowly moved to the window.
Through the dim moonlight outside the window, he saw the small mahogany table in front of the window. There was a lamp on the table, but he fumbled for the switch and pressed it a few times, but it didn't come on, so he had to turn his gaze to the drawer.
Much to his disappointment, there were only a few soft tissues in the drawer.
He turned away in frustration.
Suddenly, the light shone brightly on his face, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move for a while, and he couldn't open his eyes.
"Mr. Hua. Wan Guohou sat in a comfortable armchair in the corner of the room, "What are you looking for?"
Hua Chang was stunned for a few seconds before he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the smiling Wan Guohou.
"Where is this?" Hua Chang asked subconsciously.
"This is one of my residences, and the Chinese like to call this a single-courtyard villa. Wan Guohou said.
"Why am I here?" Hua Chang touched his forehead, then lowered his head to look at his stomach.
"I'm glad you don't seem to have hurt your head. Wan Guohou said, "I think you should have figured out one thing, I saved you, and I didn't hand you over to the police." Even though it wasn't meant to be my job. ā
Wan Guohou's tone of subtle mockery angered Hua Chang, and he clenched his fists, not knowing what to do for a while.
"You're wondering, why should I save you, right?" Wan Guohou touched the ring on his left hand. It was a large yellow diamond ring with a square center stone weighing about 70 carats and surrounded by mes. The yellow diamond, which is evenly colored and bright, is illuminated by the indoor light, like a warm flame that jumps, and people can't take their eyes off it.
Hua Chang stared at the ring for a long time before he said, "You want to know who brought me to the crown." ā
"Half right. ā
Hua Chang walked back to the bed and sat down. "I kidnapped your mistress and asked for such a large sum of money, but you didn't hand me over to the police, which means that I am still useful. ā
Wan Guohou smiled and said nothing.
"But I can't think of anything else you could ask from me other than the man who helped me. Hua Chang moved his body cautiously, trying not to pull the wound.
"Let's talk about your story first. Wan Guohou got up and walked to the edge of another larger table and picked up a thick folder.
He returned to his chair and sat down, then opened the folder unhurriedly.
Hua Chang, born in 1973, was imprisoned in July 2002 for child trafficking and sentenced to eight years and six months in prison. Released from prison in January 2011, he worked as a second-hand housing agent, media commissioner, and biotechnology ...... "Wan Guohou" snapped the folder, "You have changed jobs a lot of times, and you are involved in a lot of industries." ā
Hua Chang grabbed the pillow, placed it upright at the head of the bed, and then slowly leaned on his back. He pretended not to hear Wan Guohou's teasing, "No way, it's not going anywhere now." ā
"I'm curious about one thing, you used to work in Hancheng, how did you think of coming to the Demon Capital?" Wan Guohou said as he stared at Hua Chang.
Hua Chang hesitated, as if considering how to answer.
"I advise you to stop thinking about how to lie to me. Wan Guohou said calmly, "Gao Jin doesn't know that you are not dead, if I hand you over to him, I think he will be very happy." ā
Hua Chang sighed, "If you wanted to hand me over to him, you would have done so a long time ago." I can see that your men are very powerful, and I have never seen those weapons. It's so easy to want my head with your ability. ā
Wan Guohou touched his beard and did not comment.
"If you hand me over to Gao Jin, I will definitely die, and if you hand me over to Tiaozi, I don't think it will be much better, so why am I so idiot?" Hua Chang grinned, like an old fritter who saw the wind and steered the rudder. "If you want me to follow you, I'll just listen to you. ā
"I don't need you to mess around with me. Wan Guohou said, "You can answer me a few questions." ā
Hua Chang looked at Wan Guohou's face carefully until he was sure that the latter was not joking. "How do I know you're not lying to me?
"You can not believe me. Wan Guohou put down the folder in his hand, "But I dare to guarantee that without my protection, you will not survive for a day when you walk out of my yard." ā
Hua Chang's eyelids jumped a few times, and he gritted his teeth. Wan Guohou was not scaring him, he knew this very well.
"What do you want to know?" Hua Chang said in a rough voice after being silent for a while.
"I've just asked a question. Wan Guohou said, "Mr. Hua, will I remind you again?"
"I'm here to find Gao Jin. Hua Chang grabbed the quilt, "I knew him before, and I had a little friendship." ā
Wan Guohou blinked, "Gao Jin mentioned you to me, and also mentioned Wu Chen. According to him, his relationship with Wu Chen seems to be good, but he is not familiar with you. ā
Hua Chang sneered, "It's good that I don't know him well, otherwise, my fate would be the same as Wu Chen." ā
"What do you mean......"
"Wu Chen must have died at the hands of Gao Jin. Huachang Yin and Yang said angrily, "However, you deserve it!"
"It sounds, you are very happy that Wu Chen is dead. Wan Guohou said.
"I can't say I'm happy, but I do think he deserved to die, and betraying his brother is what happened. Hua Chang said, rubbing his nose vigorously, "After we kidnapped Gao Jin's daughter, he has always been very opposed and persuaded us to send her back. I think he was also sneaky, and later, he sneaked away behind our backs to 'Matsunosato', which is the store opened by Gao Jin. ā
Wanguo Hou bowed, "You are not at ease, so you sent someone to follow him?"
"It's good that I asked someone to follow him!!" Hua Chang said viciously, "Seeing him run away to 'Matsunori,' we immediately withdrew." I estimate that when he takes Gao Jin to the previous warehouse, Gao Jin will definitely reward him well. ā
After Hua Chang finished speaking, he laughed insolently.
Wan Guohou looked at him with disgust, "I checked Wu Chen's information, he was imprisoned at the end of 2001, you used to abduct and sell children together, right?"
"So what?" Hua Chang looked at Wan Guohou defiantly.
Wan Guohou did not answer, but looked thoughtfully at the window. Through the glass window, you can see the branches outside. The shadows of the branches of the trees in the moonlight shone on the windows like ghosts.
"In short, under the leadership of Wu Chen, you came to the Demon Capital, and you want to find Gao Jin to eat. But then you find another way to make money, and that allows you to get a lot of money quickly. Wan Guohou said, "This kidnapping is not an idea you came up with. ā
Hua Chang looked at Wan Guohou in amazement and did not deny it.
"Whether it's 1 billion or 3 billion, it's not the amount that an ordinary kidnapper would want. Wan Guohou said, "Unless this person knows the approximate size of my assets, or he has been involved in such a large amount of kidnapping." ā
Hua Chang rubbed his nose, "To be honest, buddy, I never thought that there would be such a large amount of kidnapping, let alone that someone could afford it." ā
"There are very few people who know the size of my specific assets, and I don't think anyone in the magic capital knows. "Therefore, I am inclined to think that this person is someone with whom I have business dealings, or who knows my ability to pay." ā
"Haha. In this way, you know who it is, why do you still want to ask me?" Hua Chang said, slyly smiling, "Is it difficult, are you trying to ask me for evidence? Yes, I have the evidence, what do you buy it?"
"You are a person who has been in prison, and for more than eight years, you have not been allowed to change your ways. "It seems that some people are so greedy by nature. He shook his head.
"Can you blame me?" Hua Chang's eyes widened, "Do you think everyone is like you, eating and drinking spicy food, holding beautiful girls? It's not my fault that I'm poor!"
"Poverty forces a man to bow his head or abandon his pursuits, but it does not force him to take up arms and kidnap innocent people. Besides, I don't think the trench coat you wore before looks like a poor person can afford it. ā
"I'm not going to talk to you about that. Hua Chang waved his hand, "I can't believe you're a British, your Mandarin is ridiculously good." ā
"The way you change the subject is very clumsy. Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "Okay, can you tell me who the owner of the trench coat is?" If my guess is correct, I think he is the one who brought you to the crown." ā
"I don't know what you're talking about. ā
"You know. ā
"I really don't know. Hua Chang accentuated his tone, "There were six of us at the time, and the clothes were all mixed and worn, who knows which guy bought the knockoffs where." ā
Wan Guohou's expression was as usual, "You are used to lying, you are used to bargaining, and you are used to taking a little of any benefit, lest you suffer a loss." Maybe you weren't such a person before, just because you were deceived and let down, and from then on, you don't want to trust anyone anymore. ā
Hua Chang looked at Wan Guohou blankly, as if he was looking at a monster.
"Let me tell you a piece of news by the way. Wan Guohou leaned back in his chair, "I attended a funeral during the day. The deceased's name is Tao Wutian, who is 56 years old this year. ā
Hua Chang was startled and immediately jumped off the bed. Due to the amplitude of his movements, he tore the gunshot wounds to his abdomen and back at the same time, and he bared his teeth in pain and squatted on the ground, unable to straighten his waist for a long time.
"You don't have to ask me why I know about your grudge with Tao Wutian, it's not hard to find. Wan Guohou said, "I just want to tell you that Tao Wutian committed suicide by cutting his wrists and died in the Shanjia nursing home where he lived. ā
Hua Chang struggled to stand up slowly, and then sat back on the bed. His face was a little pale, and the strength of the hanger just now was gone.
". Huachang took a long time to hold back a word.
"Don't you feel a little relieved, but you also feel very unwilling?" Wan Guohou's gaze seemed to penetrate Hua Chang's heart, "You really want to refute me, but you find that you can't find a reason to refute." ā
"!" Hua Chang said angrily, "Who the do you think you are?"
Wan Guohou stood up, and his tall body made Hua Chang suddenly shrink a little.
"I try to communicate with you as my equal, and I hope you will also pay attention to your words. Wan Guohou's words were not harsh, but they had an air of coldness and majesty, "I don't like rude people, I hope you are not." ā
Hua Chang opened his mouth to say something, but he finally closed his mouth. He was very unconvinced, but he didn't want to anger Wan Guohou.
"Please answer my question. Wan Guohou sat back in his chair.
"That's not my trench coat. Hua Chang lowered his head, and after a while, he reluctantly said, "I robbed it." ā
"Go on. ā
"That's ...... Yu Jingbo's windbreaker. ā
"Oh. Wan Guohou nodded, as if he was not surprised by this answer. In fact, he had long remembered who the owner of the trench coat was. When he first saw Hua Chang wearing a plum red windbreaker, he thought of Yu Jingbo - that exaggerated and deliberately tender style is exactly what Yu Jingbo likes. And he remembered that one day in November, he had seen Yu Jingbo wearing this dress.
"I'm curious, how did you know Yu Jingbo?" Wan Guohou pretended to be puzzled and said, "Dean Yu is an elite in society, and he has worked hard in the Demon Capital for many years, so you really don't look like friends. ā
"Yes, not bad. Hua Chang said, "Yu Jingbo has indeed become human-like now. ā
"He's from high society, isn't he?"
Hua Chang showed a gloomy smile, "A person who will sell his brother-in-law for money, do you think he is in high society?"
"Brother-in-law who sold him?" Wan Guohou raised his voice in surprise, "Are you talking about his wife's brother?"
"Yes. Hua Chang sneered and said, "That year, his brother-in-law was only five years old, and it was miserable to have such a brother-in-law." ā
Wan Guohou's eyes flashed with a clear light, "I understand." ā
"Now, are you still going to say what kind of bullshit elite this guy is?"
Wan Guohou smiled and did not speak.
"Let me tell you so. At the beginning, when we came to the magic capital, we really didn't think about looking for Yu Jingbo, and I didn't know how to find him. We couldn't find Gao Jin anymore, and then we accidentally saw Yu Jingbo's advertisement. Damn, this cheeky guy actually used himself as a model to promote his nursing home. ā
Wan Guohou blinked, "Because you know his dirty past, as long as you look for him, he will definitely have to help you." ā
"He doesn't have to help. Hua Chang said, "But does he dare?"
"I think, I know why Yu Jingbo helped you plan this kidnapping. Wan Guohou said.
