"good."
Her response was simple and sharp, and Chen Tinghan breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Huawei, who had just had a finger broken, reacted violently. As it involved his last possession, he was furious and anxious. He said, "Just break it off! It's just ten fingers! Ten fingers in exchange for all my belongings. It's worth it!"
Chen Tinghan said: "I don't need to ask you."
He sneered and said, "Then how can you know where the money is? You will never find it!"
Chen Tinghan was amused. He said with a smile, "Are you forcing me to torture you? There's really no need. You're about to run away and hide the money in a place you think is safe, without leaving any trace. But people like you are naturally insecure. You won't put money in a place you can't control. Most likely, you will hand it over to someone you are familiar with or trustworthy.
Who can you trust? You have no wife or children, your parents are over a thousand kilometers away on an island. Friends? If you have no friends and can't trust your friends, who else can you turn to?
Chen Tinghan answered his own question, saying, "It's either the motorcycle taxi driver who used to collect your money and is in cahoots with you, or it's those middlemen in the Wanghai ditch. Coincidentally, I have a rough idea of who's in that group with the former. The latter requires some maneuvering, but they're a bit more stubborn than you, but only to a limited extent."
Liu Huawei's face had begun to turn blue, and it was obvious that Chen Tinghan was right.
Chen Tinghan's offensive continued. Finally, he asked, "You could have escaped a long time ago. The reason you waited until today to take action must be because you received instructions from someone. Was that person Zhang Keqi?"
He didn't answer, but said dejectedly: "Just send me in."
"Do you think he will save you?" Chen Tinghan pressed, "Where is he?"
Liu Huawei suddenly said, "He told me on the phone that he had already left Wanghai. He said I had committed a crime and asked me to go out and hide, and to hang out with him. I could come back to Wanghai later if I wanted to. He arranged a boat for me, and the route was already planned, so no one would notice. That's how it was supposed to be."
"I can't leave now, but he's still my eldest brother and will definitely protect me. Even if you're the eldest daughter, you still have to follow the family rules, right? I have to protect my own life."
Chen Tinghan didn't know what to say. He shook his head and said, "Idiot."
He didn't react. Wang Jinling chuckled twice and took over the conversation, "Zhang Keqi didn't leave. He has been in Wanghai. He is just down and out for the time being, but not in trouble like you. He has so many people under him, there must be someone who can give him a meal.
Don't you think about why he asked you to leave at this time, and chose the sea route? He doesn't want you to leave Wanghai, he wants you to leave this world."
Liu Huawei now looked quite pitiful. Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "If she really wanted to kill you, she could have just let Zhang Keqi kill you secretly and thrown you into the sea. Why would she have gone out of her way to capture you and cause trouble?"
"Then what does she want?"
"How should I know?" Chen Tinghan rolled his eyes.
Liu Huawei looked at Chen Tinghan, then at Wang Jinling, and suddenly smiled with relief: "Haha, I'm here to entertain you."
Wang Jinling smiled and waved her hand, allowing Shi Zirui to untie Liu Huawei. Then she said, "Go away. He has the final say on whether to kill you or not. If he says not to kill you, then I won't kill you."
The thick ropes on his body had been cut, but Liu Huawei did not move. He said bitterly, "If you don't kill me, Zhang Keqi will also want my life after we get out. I will die anyway."
"Don't you want to go to jail?" Chen Tinghan took out his cell phone, hung up the call that had been established at some point, and said, "There's a police car waiting for you downstairs. Don't play tricks. When you get in, explain what you did."
It turned out that as early as the interrogation began, Chen Tinghan called Zhou Jinwei and asked him to prepare in advance.
"Don't mention what happened tonight," Wang Jinling added, "or else, no matter where you are, or where you're imprisoned, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow."
Liu Huawei was kicked out of the gym, and Chen Tinghan and Wang Jinling sat opposite each other in silence.
Wang Jinling smiled and said, "It's late at night anyway. Are we just going to do nothing and just stare at each other?"
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
"I can do anything as long as you want." Wang Jinling took off her shoes, put her white and tender feet on the table, and smiled.
Chen Tinghan ignored her vague and ambiguous teasing, but his expression was no longer as cold as before. He asked calmly, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
"Not really satisfied." Wang Jinling said ambiguously, "But not dissatisfied either. I already knew what kind of person you were. If you had killed him cleanly and efficiently, I would have been a little surprised."
"However," Wang Jinling changed the subject, "You do surprise me. I really thought you were the kind of righteous person who would be so sad even if you had to pick a roadside flower. It seems he has pushed you too far. How about breaking his fingers and fighting violence with violence? Would that feel better?"
"I'm not venting my anger," Chen Tinghan said. "I rarely resort to violence. I only use it as a last resort. But I have to admit that when dealing with some people and some things, conventional methods really don't work."
"Then you must understand that if a small-time henchman like Liu Huawei is like this, how can Zhang Keqi be any better?" Wang Jinling said, "People like them are determined to go down this path to the end. No matter how they appear on the surface, they are incurable lunatics on the inside. There is only one way to stop them."
Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "What I want to discuss with you now is not how they are. Whether it's Zhang Keqi or Liu Huawei, they are worthless in my eyes."
"Then I don't understand." Wang Jinling said coldly: "I have never understood the motives of your actions. What are you pursuing? What do you want? These things clearly have nothing to do with you, and there is no way they can bring you considerable benefits, while also making great contributions.
But you are so persistent, even paranoid. Tell me, what is important to you? Is it the so-called fairness and justice?
Chen Tinghan silently took a sip of coffee. Although he had been pursuing Wang Jinling for so many years, he had never talked to her face to face about the motivation and reasons for his actions. Because later on, Wang Jinling knew it but never pointed it out, and he never said anything either.
After starting over again, many things have changed. He is no longer the fool who can be easily seen through. Perhaps he hid himself too well, so that even a smart person like Wang Jinling did not notice anything.
In that case, it would be better to be frank.
The current Wang Jinling is not the future King of Wanghai, so there is still room for redemption.
He took a deep breath and said, "Because of you."
The deep scheming on Wang Jinling's face fluctuated briefly because of these three short words. She blinked foolishly like Li Zishan, and then took a short breath.
