After listening to the man's story, Jiang Luoning and Axing fell into deep thought; they were wondering how true or false the man's words were, but the man's expression and actions did not show any signs of lying.
Jiang Luoning glanced at Ah Xing beside him, then spoke in a deep voice, trying to find a flaw again. "So, you are using the excuse of tripping Heishan as a cover, and your real purpose is to find the child?"
The man nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Jiang Luoning gradually lowered his guard at the man's thoughtless response, but Ah Xing, standing beside him, expressed his opinion at this moment: "But have you ever considered that if Heishan finds out that you are teaming up with us, Dark Night, to attack him, and they believe it, your situation will become even more difficult!"
Seeing Ah Xing's questioning, the man looked a little embarrassed and helpless, fearing that his last lifeline would not accept his proposal. He made a promise again and said, "I, I know, but I have no other choice. So, Luo Shen! Nan Xing Sheng Shou! I really need your help in the Dark Night! If you can help me find my child, I can give you the entire mantis as a reward!"
Ah Xing noticed the change in Jiang Luoning's attitude towards this matter, so he did not respond or ask as aggressive questions as before. Instead, he waited silently for Jiang Luoning's decision.
Jiang Luoning looked around carefully, then looked at Axing.
Ah Xing instantly understood the girl's gesture. He casually pulled up a necklace from his neck and placed it outside his clothes. Then he walked around the room as if he was taking a tour, looking down at the necklace intentionally or unintentionally as he walked.
This necklace is the latest detection device developed by Fu Linxiao's Wuyingtang. It is small and easy to carry. It can detect any form of monitoring and surveillance equipment. It is the size of a thumb and has a blue diamond-like crystal in the middle. If any eavesdropping equipment is placed around the monitoring channel, the blue color will immediately turn red, indicating the existence of unsafe factors.
Ah Xing had seen him use it on Ying Yi before, and after asking around, he learned that it was their latest equipment, so he went to ask Fu Linxiao for one; he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Lord Tang was a little puzzled by Ah Xing's behavior. He was about to ask, but he saw Jiang Luoning making a gesture to silence him. He frowned slightly to suppress his doubts, and followed the girl's actions and did not ask.
After walking around the room twice and visiting every corner, Ah Xing returned to Jiang Luoning, put the necklace that had just been exposed back into her collar, without giving any expression to the confused man, but just nodded to Jiang Luoning beside her.
After a moment, Jiang Luoning, having made up his mind, finally spoke again, "If your main goal is really the child, I can promise to help you find the child's whereabouts! But forget about Mantis! I just feel sorry for the child! However, if I find out that you are just making up lies again, I don't think you or your organization can bear the consequences!"
Hearing the girl finally give in, the corners of Tang Zhu's eyes turned red, and a faint gleam of tears could be seen, but his attitude became more humble. He leaned forward, his knees touching the carpet, and he looked like he was half-kneeling, and a trembling, low-pressure voice came out of his mouth.
"It's true! I'm absolutely not lying this time! I would never joke about a child!"
Seeing the man like this, Jiang Luoning suddenly remembered her father who was kidnapped when she was twelve years old. She would never forget the appearance of her father and family members when she was sent back to the Jiang family after disappearing for three days and woke up. Perhaps it was this awakened memory that resonated with the girl even more. She continued to say to the man, "Okay! You need to answer the questions I'm going to ask truthfully!"
Tangning sat back on the sofa, straightened her expression, and replied solemnly, "Don't worry! I won't hide anything I know!"
"Who knows that the child was kidnapped?" Jiang Luoning asked the question in his heart.
"The only ones who know about this are my two confidants and the friend who received the letter. Moreover, they are the only ones who know about this trip to the imperial capital!" The man answered Jiang Luoning's questions truthfully, not daring to delay for a moment.
The two of them didn't know how trustworthy the man's confidant was, but when they heard the friend mentioned by Tang Zhu again, Jiang Luoning and Axing became alert at the same time. After all, they guessed that this friend was Helian Rui, but they couldn't tell the other party about this guess yet. Although they agreed to help the man find the child, this was only a temporary cooperation. As for whether they would be enemies or friends in the future, it remained to be seen.
Jiang Luoning openly expressed his thoughts, "Okay, but I hope that after we, Dark Night, intervene, this matter will only be known to you and me! As for the reason, I hope you won't ask too many questions!"
After he finished speaking, the man fell silent for a while. She was still a little confused about Jiang Luoning's request, but after thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea and asked, "Are you suspicious of the people around me?"
"After all, Master Tang, you just mentioned that Mantis has had some internal problems recently, right?" Ah Xing heard the man's question and responded directly without waiting for Jiang Luoning to speak.
The room fell silent again, and after a long moment, the man finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I promise! I'm really leaving the child's matter in your hands!"
Jiang Luoning didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he had accepted the request. Ah Xing never objected to Jiang Luoning's decisions, nor did he ask why. However, this time, because Helian Rui, who posed a threat to Jiang Luoning, was involved, Ah Xing didn't dare to relax at all. However, now was not the best time to ask, so he could only endure it silently.
"Master Tang, since your target is not Heishan, I hope you will give up this matter!" Jiang Luoning's voice interrupted Axing's thoughts.
Hearing this, Tang Zhu nodded and replied to the girl: "Yes! Good! Good! I didn't really want to make enemies with them. As for the matter that Heishan mentioned earlier, I will continue to secretly investigate and give him an explanation!"
If the two killer organizations really confront each other, both sides will suffer losses. Since the real problem has been solved, Jiang Luoning expected that Lord Tang would give in so quickly.
"I hope you will! Keep your word! Let's leave it at that for today. This isn't the place to discuss this matter. Prepare the child's information and the whole story, and wait for my notification!"
Tang Zhu recalled Ah Xing's actions around the room just now and knew that he still had doubts about the location he was looking for, but he didn't care. As long as he got his consent today, then this meeting would be a success. So the man nodded and agreed to Jiang Luoning's request.
Immediately, Jiang Luoning and Axing stood up and were about to leave. After taking two steps, the girl stopped, but did not turn around to look at the man. She just warned him in a deep voice.
"Remember! This is something you and I both know!"
