Chapter 117 Ye Rou in Danger
Yu Chengping stared at the snow-white blade, his heart beating faster and faster, and his clothes on the back were soaked.
Seeing that he still refused to speak, Jiang Chen placed the knife against the rope and pressed it down again.
Yu Chengping stared at the rope and said in panic, "You can't kill me."
Jiang Chen sneered, exerted force with his hands, and the rope suddenly broke a little more.
Yu Chengping's body fell downwards, and the feeling of weightlessness with nothing under his feet made him scream in fear.
Jiang Chen switched sides and slowly cut the rope.
Yu Chengping's body swayed in the air, and every time Jiang Chen cut off a little, his body fell down a little.
There is a cliff below him. If he falls down, he will definitely die. If he dies, everything will be gone.
Yu Chengping couldn't bear it any longer. He broke down and shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Jiang Chen pressed the knife against the rope and did not remove it: "Dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."
"It's Qu Zhi!" Yu Chengping cried, "The eldest son of the Qu family in the capital asked me to sell you to the mine."
Hearing this name, Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold.
It’s indeed the Qu family.
He threw the knife away and said casually, "He's no longer useful. Give it back to Jiang Weiguo."
Meng Guan and Zhou Liang nodded in agreement. They captured Yu Chengping, tied his hands and feet, and put them on thick wooden sticks, like carrying pork, and asked the two brothers to carry him down the mountain.
Jiang Chen glanced around, frowned, and asked, "Where's Fang Tian?"
Meng Guan hesitated for a moment, but still told Fang Tian about what happened that day when Fang Tian wanted gold.
Jiang Chen's face suddenly darkened, and his voice rose a few notches: "Did you tell him that it was Ye Rou who found the gold?"
Zhou Liang said, "We were also afraid that Fang Tian would keep grabbing the gold and calling her sister-in-law. He would be too embarrassed to ask for it."
Meng Guan's brain was sharper than Zhou Liang's. When Jiang Ge said that, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He widened his eyes and said frantically, "Could it be that Fang Tian...? But doesn't he hate human traffickers the most?"
"Money can make a kid work." Jiang Chen clenched his hands tightly, his joints turned white from excessive force, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
Meng Guan immediately said, "I'm going down the mountain to find my sister-in-law now."
"It's too late." Jiang Chen turned and looked at the vast mountains, and said coldly: "If Fang Tian and the others want to know the location of the gold, they must have tricked Ye Rou up the mountain."
"Go find it!" There was a blazing fire in his eyes.
In an instant, the whole mountain seemed to come alive.
——
It rained in the morning, and at this time, yellowish water was flowing down from the heights on the mountain path.
Ye Rou followed Fang Tian up the mountain. After she calmed down, her keen sense of smell allowed her to smell the scent of chicken on Fang Tian.
The distribution of blood on his body also seemed wrong.
It doesn't seem like it was splashed, it's more like it was poured.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, showed no sign of abnormality, and quietly pinned a gold needle on her denim vest.
When they reached the path off the cliff where Zhao Wan had pushed her last time, Fang Tian deliberately lagged behind her by a few steps. Ye Rou walked forward, and a person came walking down the path ahead.
Blocked from both sides, Ye Rou had no way of escaping unless she jumped off a cliff like last time.
She hugged the medicine box tightly, stared at the man in front of her and asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Meng looked at Ye Rou and saw that she was so beautiful that she was almost weird, so he believed Fang Tian's words a little more.
No man can resist such a beautiful woman, not even that madman Jiang Chen.
He smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, my name is Wang Meng. Don't be afraid. I won't touch you. Just answer one question of mine and we'll let you go immediately."
"Wang Meng?" Ye Rou looked at Fang Tian in disbelief: "You're working with Wang Meng?"
Wang Meng frowned impatiently. Women are always fussy.
But with Yu Chengping holding Jiang Chen back, they still had some time, so they decided to help the beauty clear up her confusion.
He turned his head to look at Fang Tian behind Ye Rou: "You talk to her."
Fang Tian sneered: "I want that batch of gold too."
That batch of gold was not a small amount. He originally thought that Jiang Chen would split it with them after finding it, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chen had no intention of doing so at all and wanted to keep it all for himself.
He just asked a few questions, and Meng Guan and Zhou Liang responded to him with both soft and hard words.
He was unhappy and took the gold and promised to go find Wang Meng. On the way out, Meng Guan reminded him not to cooperate with human traffickers. He was telling the truth at the time. His sister was almost abducted by human traffickers, and he hated human traffickers the most.
But the situation is different now, and we should change our perspective on the problem.
Wang Meng used to be a human trafficker, but now he is a good partner.
Fang Tian did not use gold to lure Wang Meng into the trap as planned, but directly told Wang Meng what Jiang Chen was going to do.
He told Wang Meng that if he didn't go to the back mountain, Jiang Chen would wait for him forever. According to his observations these days, Jiang Chen actually cared more about Yu Chengping.
After hearing this, Wang Meng immediately decided to use Yu Chengping as bait.
After Jiang Chen was lured away, he tricked Ye Rou up the mountain. The two of them worked together to subdue Ye Rou and directly forced her to tell them the whereabouts of the gold.
Even if Jiang Chen reacted, they had already fled with the gold, and Jiang Chen could do nothing to them.
After hearing Fang Tian's plan, Ye Rou asked him in confusion, "Jiang Chen treated you well, why did you betray him?"
"People die for money, and birds die for food." Fang Tian said what Jiang Chen had said to him.
Three years ago, he was just a street thug.
His sister was kidnapped, and he accidentally learned that Jiang Chen had been catching human traffickers, so he begged Jiang Chen to save his sister.
Jiang Chen really did not refuse. When their group broke into the human traffickers' den, there were still many people imprisoned there.
Young men, women and children were huddled together, each of them pale with fear.
Fang Tian was chilled by what he saw and asked in confusion, "Why did they kidnap these people?"
Jiang Chen, who was two years younger than him but a head taller than him, said coldly: "People die for money, and birds die for food."
From then on, this sentence was deeply engraved in Fang Tian's heart.
Ever since his sister started pestering Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen became a little annoyed with him and no longer let him do important things.
Even something like finding gold was known to Meng Guan, a newcomer, earlier than him.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Since Brother Jiang doesn't care about our friendship, don't blame him for being cruel.
Fang Tian said fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense, where is the gold?"
Wang Meng laughed and said, "Why waste your time talking to a woman?"
He approached Ye Rou with a sinister grin.
"Don't underestimate her!" Fang Tian called out to him, "This woman once broke a man's thigh bone with one foot."
Wang Meng stopped and looked doubtful: "Is this true?"
Fang Tian pulled out a knife from his pocket, looked at Ye Rou and said sternly, "You have two choices: one is to tell us where the gold is, and two is to die here and now!"
Ye Rou hesitated and refused to answer.
Fang Tian added, "Don't try to stall for time and wait for Jiang Chen to come and rescue us. I didn't lie to you just now. Yu Chengping does have a gun."
He whispered, "Who do you think Yu Chengping will shoot with that gun?"
"Okay." Ye Rou no longer hesitated and smiled slightly, saying, "I'll take you to find gold."
