When the black shadow approached the pigpen, Zhao Lihan first swept his leg across. Before the man could react, Zhao Lihan grabbed his arm with lightning speed, twisted it back, and made a click.
With a "wow" sound, the shadow begged, "Good man, spare my life."
Wang Xiaolan in the house heard the wailing and knew that Zhao Lihan had subdued the bad guy, so she ran over with a lantern and raised the lamp. The light fell on the man's face. She thought he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was, so she took the man to her living room.
The man knelt on the ground, head bowed, begging for mercy. When he looked up and saw Wang Xiaolan, he said in surprise, "You, you, I know you. You are the elder sister who was drugged by Brother Hai last time."
"How do you know?"
"That day, I was guarding you in that compartment. Let me make it clear that I had no part in arresting you."
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan looked at each other.
"Who is the Hai brother you are talking about?"
"He is Brother Long's younger brother."
Wang Xiaolan was surprised and said, "It's Liu Jinhai. Isn't he studying in the county town?"
"Brother Long disappeared, and not long after, he took over us."
"Are you still doing that kind of robbery?"
"We're not just doing this now. When we have free time, we hang out in the black market."
"How did you get into the black market?"
"Brother Hai is now the boss of the black market."
Wang Xiaolan asked again: "Isn't the boss of the black market a man called Brother Zhang?"
"When you were kidnapped that time, weren't there a group of people from the Public Security Bureau who showed up? They took down that place. Boss Zhang was drunk and almost got arrested, but it was Brother Hai who saved him. To thank him for saving his life, Boss Zhang made him the boss of the black market."
"Is there someone else behind the black market?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang from the black market is Boss Zhang's cousin."
"Where's Brother Zhang?"
"Brother Zhang is now Brother Hai's subordinate."
"Brother Zhang has been in the black market for so many years, is he willing to give it to him just like that?"
"I'm not willing to accept it, but there's nothing I can do. It's just that I'm lucky."
Zhao Lihan said, "Let's talk about this later. How many of you came tonight? Who is protecting you?"
"Two people came. The one in the front yard is Brother Hai. He's mainly there to cover me while I jump over the wall and come in. I'll kill you. If I can't kill you, I'll take your child away."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaolan angrily cursed, "That bastard, one day I'm going to make him suffer a fate worse than death. Li Han, send this brat to the police station tomorrow morning! I want Liu Jinhai to know what the consequences are for fighting us."
"Sister, please forgive me!"
"Who is your eldest sister?"
"Aren't you Liu San's eldest sister? And I'm Liu San's brother, A Kuan. He came to see me the night you got into trouble, and I told him the address where you were being held."
"Are you Liu San's brother? I didn't hear him say that?"
"Ever since he left us, Brother Long tried to catch him several times, but he escaped. One time he fell into my hands, and I let him go. After that, I never contacted him again until you had an accident and he found me."
"It seems you can still be saved."
"I joined the group because my mother passed away and I was in debt."
"Liu San, they said you are a miracle doctor who can cure my father's eye disease."
…
Just as Wang Xiaolan was interrogating A Kuan, Liu Jinhai ran home in a rage.
With an unwilling look on his face, he cursed, "Damn it! This bitch has a vicious dog at home. Luckily, I prepared chili powder and finally got rid of it. Otherwise, it would have chased us home and we would have become its prey."
Captain Shi, seeing him coming back, hurriedly asked, "How's the matter going?"
Liu Jinhai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The things were thrown in. I don't know if A Kuan went in. I don't know anything else."
"You, you're still not as good as your brother at doing things. It's a pity that there's still no news from your brother."
When Liu Jinhai heard the captain mention his brother, he was full of doubts. In the past few days, he used Boss Zhang's connections to inquire about Liu Jinlong's whereabouts.
He also went to the provincial capital specifically to find Achao, who had once hung out with Liu Jinlong, and asked him when was the last time he saw Liu Jinlong?
Achao's answer was that it was the time when Shi Hehua was arrested and Zhao Lihan was hospitalized in the provincial capital.
Liu Jinlong revealed to Achao that if this matter could be successfully done, he could become the captain's son-in-law.
Later, he found the brothers who had been hanging out with Liu Jinlong in the provincial capital. When they heard Brother Long's name, they all looked nervous and said there was a ghost and took him away. Then, no matter what he said, they would not say anything more. No matter how big the reward was, they dared not speak.
He gained nothing from this trip to the provincial capital.
However, Liu Jinhai was certain that his brother was sent to the provincial capital by the team leader.
Liu Jinhai stared at him and asked, "Captain, during this period, I have tried various ways to find out my brother's whereabouts, but they said they couldn't find him."
The captain frowned, regretting that he shouldn't have mentioned Liu Jinlong.
"Your brother might have been arrested by the police."
"My brother definitely hasn't been arrested by the police. It's been so long, the verdict would have been announced long ago."
"Or he ran away with his lover."
"Don't beat around the bush. Tell me the truth. Was it you who asked my brother to go to the provincial capital?"
He thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I sent him out. He took five hundred dollars from me and disappeared without a trace. Maybe he's hiding somewhere and having a good time. I lost five hundred dollars in vain."
"You only lost money, but we lost a living person. No matter what, you have to compensate my family for the financial losses."
"Brother, don't be anxious! I asked your brother to kill that bitch, but she came back and your brother didn't. Think about it, who caused your brother's disappearance? Who is the biggest suspect? Don't you know?"
Liu Jinhai suddenly understood.
"You're talking about that bitch."
"That's right. The only way you can find out where your brother is is by asking her."
"I must settle the score with her."
"It's impossible for you to catch her openly."
"That's easy. I have plenty of people under my command. I'll do it secretly."
"Your idea coincides with mine. I'll give you another chance to make money. If you succeed, I'll give you an extra 500."
As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered something in Liu Jinhai's ear.
After listening to this, Liu Jinhai said with satisfaction: "Leave this matter to me, but you must keep your word."
"Of course it counts. I'll be frank with you, don't be like your brother and take the money and never come back. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes. The life and death of your mother and your sister rests in your hands."
"Don't worry! Your little money is nothing. I'm doing big business now."
…
Their conversation was heard entirely by Xia Wei who lived next door.
