Chapter 397: Playing the Long Game



After the little man finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to use the power of alcohol to calm his inner fear and irritability.

Lao Zhang nodded and responded:

"That's right! Who would want to keep doing something so frightening? I've been unwilling to give up for a long time, otherwise why would I want to quit?"

Xiaocai, who was standing by, blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Lao Zhang, who will be coming to pick up the goods this time?"

Lao Zhang stroked his chin and answered thoughtfully, "Who else could it be except that fellow Zhiguo? Only he has the ability to distinguish whether the goods are good or bad."

"His price is a bit stingy." Xiaocai said.

"He's the only one who keeps his word and gives exactly what he says he'll give. I'm unlike some people who clearly say they'll lend me 50,000, but then don't lend me a single cent."

Hearing this, Xiaocai couldn't help but nodded.

At this moment, he seemed to still be in a state of shock, and he pulled Lao Zhang's sleeve and begged:

"Old Zhang, Brother Zhang, I was really scared by that scene just now! How about we find some goods to calm me down and calm my nerves?"

Old Zhang was stunned at first, then he reacted and said with a sly smile on his face:

"Hey, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered it. But there was a woman like that, she was so beautiful, like a fairy!

I originally wanted to keep it for Mr. Matsushita so that he could try it and satisfy his craving, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems that there is no need to do so.

"Anyway, we're going to retire soon and never touch these things again, so let's completely indulge ourselves today and have a good time!"

There was a hint of determination and cheerfulness in Lao Zhang's voice when he spoke.

Qin Wan had an extraordinary keen hearing, and at this moment these two people did not deliberately lower their voices, so every word she said was heard clearly by Qin Wan.

Qin Wan thought to herself that she had originally planned to let these two people survive for one more night, but judging from the current situation, these two guys had obviously sought their own death.

But where were those people they had abducted hidden? She had just released her spiritual sense, but she saw nothing.

Also, I just heard that big man mention that he got the information from a friend. Who is this so-called friend? Could he be a spy lurking within the public security organs?

Just as all kinds of thoughts flashed through Qin Wan's mind, she suddenly heard the shorter man, the one everyone called Xiaocai, sigh deeply and then slowly speak:

"Oh, forget it, Brother Zhang, it's better for us two brothers to be honest and behave ourselves these days.

Think about it, the previous transaction was going so smoothly at the beginning. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner according to plan, and it seemed that it was going to be a great success and make a lot of money!

But who could have expected that in the end there would be a mistake because of a woman, which would let the police smell something unusual. As a result, our entire gang was almost caught and wiped out. We were so unlucky!

We must not repeat their mistakes!"

After hearing Xiaocai's words, the tall man called Lao Zhang also echoed:

"Well, brother, you're absolutely right! Although you're young, you really do see things much more deeply and understand them much more than I do! Okay, then just consider it as me accumulating some good karma for my own children."

After saying that, Lao Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

At this time, Xiaocai lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat lonely and sad, and muttered softly: "Alas... I miss my mother too... I wonder if she is doing well in her hometown..."

Qin Wan stood outside the door. After hearing the words coming from inside, he curled his lips in disdain and muttered to himself:

"Humph! The reason you were able to succeed before was nothing more than sheer luck. But to have fallen into my hands today is just bad luck. Forget about saying you're lucky! Look at the morals of you guys. You even have the nerve to talk about accumulating good karma?

In my opinion, it's a miracle that people like you can still live to this day. I'm afraid you must have already owed countless sins to the King of Hell!"

In the room, their conversation was like a sharp sword, piercing the softest part of each other's hearts. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and no one spoke again.

After a long time, Qin Wan finally heard another voice coming from the house:

"Alas... I really don't know how that kid is doing now."

As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell into silence again.

Xiao Cai, who was standing by, naturally understood who "that kid" Lao Zhang was talking about. After a moment's thought, he slowly said:

"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing that they're not with us. If...if they accidentally make a big mistake one day, at least they can leave a way out for our family, so that our family lineage won't be cut off."

After saying this, Xiaocai sighed softly, with a hint of worry and helplessness in his eyes.

Qin Wan stood in the corner with bated breath, listening carefully to the conversation between the people in the room.

When she heard the key information, she moved back as slowly as a cat, then turned and left the room.

She thought to herself:

"It looks like they won't be taking any action today."

After careful consideration, Qin Wan decided that it would be more appropriate to let Lu Yu handle the matter.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and quietly left the yard.

At this moment, there are four lovely babies at home waiting for her return, and this is what she cares about most.

Fortunately, when Qin Wan arrived at the station, she happened to catch the last bus. Sitting on the bus, she felt a little relieved, but her mind was still constantly thinking about what she had just heard and what might happen next.

Finally, the car slowly stopped at the door of the house. Before the door was fully opened, Qin Wan couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked quickly towards the house.
