Skinny Monkey certainly didn't dare to be too conspicuous, since he was still on the wanted list. When he invited Jiang Jianian over, he naturally wouldn't say that he was involved in the kidnapping. He would only say that he had offended Qin Manshu once and was forced to participate in the kidnapping.

He's a master of this kind of sob story, talking about how pitiful he is and how Qin Manshu forced him to do many things.

Jiang Jianian was summoned to his usual tavern and sat there watching him ramble on and on.

Skinny Monkey pretended to want to eat, but he was actually catching his breath. He had been struggling in the lower class for so many years that he had long since mastered the art of speaking to people in a way that suited them, but in front of Jiang Jianian, he inexplicably dared not be presumptuous.

Now he felt even more uneasy and couldn't help but adjust his emotions. He originally thought that rich young men like this would be delicate and tender, but he didn't expect that the man he had called over had a very fierce aura. He could feel the man's overwhelming presence, which reminded him of the men he had met in the past who wore suits and he didn't dare to get close to them. This man looked so young, yet he made people feel inexplicably restrained.

Jiang Jianian chuckled, "You eat first."

The laugh was a little creepy. The skinny monkey couldn't hear the other person's emotions clearly. He took a few more bites from the bowl and then said he was full.

Jiang Jianian asked directly, "Where did Qin Manshu kidnap people?"

Skinny Monkey immediately said, "Actually, I don't know much about that, because when I was taken there, I was locked in a truck. The truck was pitch black, and I had no idea what the road was like. Later, I was knocked unconscious by that bitch and brought out."

He was especially angry when Qin Manshu was mentioned, and he hated him so much that his teeth itched.

Jiang Jianian squinted and asked, "Where are you being held?"

"It's a bit like a warehouse-style building, probably in a rather remote location, because I could hear some factory noises," Skinny Monkey replied obediently.

Jiang Jianian had already roughly located Qin Manshu's position. After receiving this information, he immediately sent a message to Ji Shuli, asking him to continue investigating.

Jiang Jianian stared blankly at the skinny monkey as he continued to ask other more sensitive questions.

Besides the sounds of the factory starting up, were there any sounds of water nearby? Where did they start from, and how long did the trip take?

After confirming the basic facts, Jiang Jianian continued, "So you saw Ye Zhiwei."

The skinny monkey said sheepishly, "Yes, I saw the young lady."

He had originally planned to extort money from Jiang Jianian by selling information, and then scheme against Qin Manshu. After that, he would use the money to go abroad to see if there was any way to cure his illness. However, he didn't dare to say a word in front of Jiang Jianian. He didn't dare to bargain at all. He was clearly a desperate man who was not afraid of death, but he was actually obedient in front of a child.

Skinny Monkey inwardly cursed himself for cowering in front of such a delicate-skinned child, especially since the other party was in his usual territory. He felt a pang of resentment, thinking, "He's just a kid who's got some money because he's lucky; I really don't believe he can do this."

"What's her condition now?"

As soon as Jiang Jianian finished asking the question, the skinny monkey immediately answered honestly, "He was tied up by that bitch's hands and feet and couldn't move."

Jiang Jianian stared at the skinny monkey. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The skinny monkey continued laughing, "Brother, you know it's not easy for us to deliver this information. I have some really big news to sell you, it's just that I have a lot of information on hand, so..."

"You want money?" Jiang Jianian smiled, then his gaze turned gloomy, and he asked with murderous intent, almost word by word, "Fine, answer my last question first: Have you done anything to Ye Zhiwei?"

As soon as the question was asked, the skinny monkey's expression changed. He licked his lips and said, "How could I dare to do anything to such a young lady?"

That's what he said, but he had already touched the knife on his body and was about to slash at Jiang Jianian. It was at this moment that he realized what kind of evil spirit he had offended.

Before the knife in his hand could even reach Jiang Jianian, Jiang Jianian kicked the table directly at the skinny monkey, and some of the bowls and chopsticks on the table hit the skinny monkey's face.

Skinny Monkey's face darkened. "Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting a polite offer."

As he spoke, he pulled out his gun, but just as he drew it and was about to fire at Jiang Jianian, Jiang Jianian grabbed a chair and slammed it down on him. The gun in his hand slid several meters away. Skinny Monkey immediately crawled over to pick up the gun, but just as he was about to touch it, Jiang Jianian stepped on Skinny Monkey's hand.

Skinny Monkey finally felt the man's gaze. This was murderous intent! He knew this look all too well. Even though he thought he was fearless, under this gaze, Skinny Monkey began to beg for mercy, "Spare me, big brother, big brother, spare me! I really didn't do anything to that young lady, I didn't even touch her hand! Spare me—"

He kowtowed desperately.

Jiang Jianian stepped on the man's foot with astonishing force; the cracking sound of the man's bones could even be heard. He narrowed his eyes and asked again, "So you participated in this kidnapping, right?"

The man immediately tried to deny it, but Jiang Jianian kicked him in a pressure point. The pain was excruciating, worse than when he'd been stabbed. The skinny man curled up, too afraid to move. He felt like he was dying, but his mind was still crystal clear. He dared not lie anymore and honestly replied, "Yes, yes, brother, I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness. I was foolish. I dared to offend someone I shouldn't have. Yes, I also have Qin Manshu's secret. The gun I found for that bitch couldn't be used—it couldn't be used—ahhhhhh."

"So you really did get a share." Jiang Jianian had no time to listen to what the man was saying anymore; she picked up a chopstick from the ground—

Then the man realized that there was nothing more painful than death. This boy was a devil. He was holding chopsticks, but the moment he stabbed them into the acupoints, the man was in so much pain that he almost couldn't breathe. What's more, Jiang Jianian didn't just use chopsticks; he also picked up the knife he had brought with him from the ground.

He held a knife, and because he was so handsome and had such slender, long hands, when he gestured at the skinny monkey, it was as if he was about to create some kind of work of art, but this work of art emitted a hysterical scream.

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong in the private room and called the police. When the police arrived, Jiang Jianian released the skinny man. No one knew what had happened in the private room. Although Jiang Jianian had a knife, there was no blood on the skinny man's body, and there were no obvious bruises. He only had a broken hand bone and some injuries from being hit when he was about to stab someone with the knife. This fugitive wanted for serious crimes, who had once been hiding from the police and was smug about it, almost crawled in front of the police and willingly let them handcuff him.

Before being helped away by the police, he glanced at Jiang Jianian tremblingly and said fearfully, "Demon...devil."

The police officers who arrived were from a different group than those investigating Ye Zhiwei's kidnapping case. They were still unclear about what had happened. They only learned that "Skinny Monkey" was a wanted criminal involved in some previous murders, kidnappings, and robberies. When they saw that Jiang Jianian also had some minor scratches, they asked with concern if he was alright and if he had been injured by that scumbag.

Looking at Jiang Jianian's handsome and clean-cut appearance, the police officer couldn't help but remind him with concern: "Young man, you still need to call the police if you encounter this kind of scum. You're so good-looking, your family would be heartbroken if you were accidentally hurt. Not to mention your family, your girlfriend would be worried sick."
