Chapter 32 The Moon of Yesteryear
Upon receiving the message, Liu Ping cleaned his gun and then ordered his men to gather a few brothers. Their current mission was to eradicate traitors and evildoers, and they would show no mercy to collaborators.
Snap—
Unaware of the impending disaster, Old Master Hu slapped his eldest son across the face, cursing him as "good-for-nothing." He had sent his son to cover for Hu Youya, but the fool had been lured to a brothel shortly after leaving the house. When Old Master Hu finally found out about Hu Youya's disappearance and went to look for her, the idiot was still having sex with a prostitute.
Mr. Hu was so angry that his beard bristled. After having his foolish son tied up and taken back, Mr. Hu hurriedly went to a hotel to meet the person.
However, in his haste, Mr. Hu did not notice that several rickshaw pullers were following him at a distance.
“Mr. Jin, I was wrong about this. Please be magnanimous and give me a few days. I will definitely bring that Xie brat to you when the time comes.”
Mr. Hu was somewhat apprehensive, after all, his lifeline was in the other party's hands. If he didn't obey their orders, his family's factory would be gone, and he didn't want to go bankrupt.
Opposite him was a man in a black suit with a slicked-back hairstyle. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and deep, handsome features. His facial lines were quite soft, yet he had a somewhat feminine appearance.
"Mr. Hu, I've said it many times, I just want to invite Mr. Xie as a guest, I have no other intentions. If you can't invite Mr. Xie, there are naturally others who can help me invite him..."
Before Mr. Jin could finish speaking, his attendant came in from outside and whispered something in Mr. Jin's ear. Mr. Hu looked up and saw that Mr. Jin's face was getting darker and darker. The two looked at each other, and Mr. Hu was frightened by the coldness in the other's eyes.
Mr. Jin, who originally only wanted to scare Mr. Hu and continue their cooperation, gestured to his entourage behind him. With a "poof," blood spurted out, staining the floor red.
Mr. Jin glanced contemptuously at the still-breathing Mr. Hu from above, and snorted coldly, "Fool, you actually led people here!"
If that's the case, then we have no choice but to kill Master Hu to divert attention from all sides. Besides, the Hu family has already been targeted, so we can take this opportunity to drain the Hu family's assets, which can then be used as funds to make things easier.
"Have you found out which faction the people who came with us belong to?"
The attendant replied respectfully, "Miss Fangzi, those people are all dressed in ordinary clothes, making it difficult to discern their identities. Let's leave first."
Fangzi had the same idea. Anyway, the investigation could be done later. Right now, it was more important to avoid being tracked by those small fry.
Therefore, when Liu Ping, disguised as a waiter, opened the hotel room, he only saw Master Hu lying in a pool of blood.
Bang bang—
Gunshots rang out outside. Liu Ping's expression changed, and he immediately rushed towards the source of the gunfire, but he was still too slow.
"Brother Liu, we killed two people, and one of them escaped injured."
With a tense expression, Liu waved to a thin subordinate to deliver a message, and then led a group of people toward the Hu family.
If Master Hu wasn't murdered, then there's only one possibility: the people behind Master Hu planned to kill him to silence him. And since they've already killed Master Hu, they certainly won't let his relatives off the hook either.
When Liu Ping arrived at the Hu residence, he saw a white stretcher being carried out. He quickly grabbed an old man who was watching the commotion and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"
The old man shushed him, shook his head, and whispered, "I heard that the eldest son of the Hu family started a relationship with someone and then abandoned them, and then that person killed him. Tsk tsk, men, instead of getting married and settling down, they wander around outside all day, visiting all sorts of brothels. Who's unreliable? Young Master Hu is a notorious playboy. Look, karma has come back to haunt him."
No sooner had Master Hu died than Young Master Hu was assassinated. Liu Ping would be crazy to believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
But the trail went cold. No useful information was found on the two bodies that had been killed. Suddenly, Liu Ping had a flash of inspiration. He bent down and instructed his henchmen to keep an eye on the area, and then went back to look for the two corpses.
By this time, the police had arrived. Liu Ping glanced at them briefly and asked in a low voice, "Where are their guns? Have they been confiscated?"
"I've received it; it's with Brother Shengzi."
Liu Ping nodded. He suddenly realized that Xie Ning seemed to be very familiar with firearms. If he showed Xie Ning the guns of the two men, he might be able to find some other clues.
However, Liu Ping had previously instructed his men to keep a close eye on the Japanese embassy, which was one of the clues provided by Xie Ning.
When the incident occurred, Xie Ning had already moved into Principal An's villa. Principal An even specially vacated the entire third floor for Xie Ning and others to live in. Not only Aunt Liu, but also Xiao Yang and Cai Huai came along.
Xie Ning was well aware of their purpose in following her; besides protection, they were mostly there to monitor her. However, she didn't care, since she had more than one partner, and she didn't deliberately try to hide it, but rather revealed it little by little.
After that, they negotiated and exchanged veiled words with each other, but in any case, her position was unshakeable.
"Miss, these are the wontons from Yangjingbang that you asked me to buy. They're still warm. I also bought some raw ones to make you a late-night snack."
Aunt Liu and Xie Ning exchanged a glance, and then went out.
Ms. Lin Qin, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Changning likes to eat wontons?"
Xie Ning picked out a few dresses from the wardrobe and held them up in front of the mirror one by one. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I used to love eating wontons when I was a child. I haven't eaten them since I was separated from my family. Although the wontons in Shanghai don't taste the same, I still think they're pretty good. So I ask Aunt Liu to buy them for me to eat as a late-night snack from time to time."
Xie Ning used to wear only long robes, mandarin jackets, and suits, but now her wardrobe is full of various Western-style dresses and cheongsams, all prepared by Ms. Lin Qin.
When Ms. Lin Qin learned that Xie Ning was going to live in their villa, she was overjoyed. It had always been just her and Principal An living in the villa, as her only son was studying abroad and wouldn't graduate for at least two years.
Moreover, given the current chaotic situation in China, the couple did not want their son to return home and planned to arrange for him to study abroad after graduation.
Xie Ning was good-looking, courageous, and had a knowledgeable personality that won her heart. She not only regarded Xie Ning as a close friend despite their age difference, but also genuinely wanted to cherish him as a junior.
The light apricot-colored stand-up collar with lace trim, the front of which features a bow and large lace trim, and the long skirt with excellent drape trails on the ground.
Xie Ning is tall and can easily pull off long dresses. In cold weather, she only needs to put on a thick coat and a hat before going out.
