Chapter 618 Finding Someone, Leaving
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao's puzzled expression, I said, "Let's go inside first. The entrance is really conspicuous."
"Oh, come in."
I followed Zhang De and Jiang Xiaoxiao into the office.
Once the door is closed, people outside can barely hear us talking.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked, "Xiaonan, tell me, what exactly happened? How did you end up working in the office building with your colleague?"
I said, "Let's talk about this later. Let me ask you first."
What do you want to ask?
I looked at Zhang De and Jiang Xiaoxiao and asked, "When Liu Tian came here to persuade you to hand over the resources, how many times did he come in total?"
Zhang De recalled for a moment and said, "It seems like I came here four or five times."
I asked, "Could you elaborate on the circumstances of these particular incidents?"
Zhang De nodded and said, "It was about a month ago. It was his first time coming here. He came alone at the time. But I thought he wanted to come back to live, so I let him in for a look around and chatted with him for a bit. After that, he left, and nothing happened that time."
"Well, about two or three days later, he came again. This time he brought two people with him. And it was from that time that he started talking to me about us going to the office building. At the time, I thought he was just joking with me, so I didn't take it seriously and just brushed it off."
"The third time he came, he brought a lot of people with him. He seemed quite sincere when he talked to me then, saying that if we joined the office building, he would definitely give me a good position, and that a new boss had come to the building, and as long as we joined, we would definitely live a good life—all that nonsense."
I listened to Zhang De's words, but there was nothing important in them.
Zhang De continued, "The fourth time, the second to last time, I saw him with a gun, and his attitude towards us changed. I didn't know what was going on. Then he gave me a final deadline, told me to think it over, and then left. When he left, he told me to prepare my things, saying he would definitely take them when he came back next time. I saw that they had guns, so there was nothing I could do but prepare them. He came to collect them the next day."
I asked, "During this period, was Liu Tian the only one who came to this school? Has anyone else come?"
Zhang De shook his head and said, "No, no one else has been here. Only Liu Tian came with his men."
I nodded and said, "I understand."
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking us about this?"
I looked at the two of them and said, "Liu Tian is dead."
"What!" Zhang De exclaimed in surprise.
I said, "I killed him."
Jiang Xiaoxiao stared at me in disbelief and asked, "Why, why did you kill him?"
I said, "This is a long story, and you don't need to know the specific details. As for why I killed him, it's simple: he wanted to kill me, and in order to save my own life, I had no choice but to kill him."
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Zhang De seemed helpless about my answer, but that was the truth, and I didn't explain further.
I said, "I'm currently in an office building with my partner, and I've taken Liu Tian's seat..."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, asking, "What do you mean by Liu Tian's position?"
I was taken aback, then realized they didn't know what was going on inside the office building, so I said, "Liu Tian used to have some status in the office building. Now that I've killed him, the big boss in the building wants me to replace Liu Tian and manage the people below."
"So, if the matter of asking you to confess before was just Liu Tian's own idea, this matter would be much easier to handle. As long as I don't say anything, that big shot in the office building basically won't bother you, since he doesn't know you exist. Now that Liu Tian is dead, this matter is basically over."
Jiang Xiaoxiao understood what I meant and asked, "So, it's still possible that the big shot knows about this, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, what I'm worried about now is that the big shot actually knows about what's going on at the school. If that's the case, it will be very troublesome. It will be very difficult to resist them then."
As I said this, I pulled out a few guns from my person and said, “I took three handguns and some bullets from inside. Keep these for self-defense. I’ll be staying in the office building for the next few days to scout things out for you. If the big shots in the office building don’t know you exist, I’ll come and tell you, and then you should be safe.”
"But even if he knows, I have a way to keep you safe. So don't do anything rash during this time, and don't worry about me. I'm eating and living well in the office building, and I'm perfectly fine."
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "So, are you planning to stay there from now on?"
I laughed and said, "How could that be? I came to Hangzhou to find someone. I'm only staying there temporarily. After I've resolved your safety, I think I'll continue my search. But what I wanted to say is, if you'd like, would you like to come with me to Jiajiang?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Go to Jiajiang? Why, why go to Jiajiang?"
I said, “Because Jiajiang is now practically my territory, as long as you are in Jiajiang, you will basically not have any trouble. Moreover, it’s not just Jiajiang, but the entire Delta region is related to me. As long as you are willing to leave with me and go to Jiajiang, you will be very safe.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at me in surprise, "The entire Jiajiang is yours?"
I said, "I guess so, but I don't participate in management; management is done by others."
Zhang De was also extremely shocked. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I remember when you first came here, you said you were looking for a woman. Who was it again?"
I said, "The person I'm looking for is named Wu Shuang. I don't know if she's still alive or in Hangzhou. I just came here to look for her."
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked, "Xiaonan, I'm asking you, are you really willing to take us to Jiajiang?"
I said, "Of course I'm willing, but it depends on whether you're willing to leave here."
Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Basically, there's no problem. Nobody wants to stay here anymore; everyone's afraid something might happen, so many people want to leave. How about this: we'll help you find people in the meantime, and then you can lead us away!"
