He Songling quickly answered, "Go on."
Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice, "I originally thought that you were a smart person and would be able to figure out that as long as you lead me to the mastermind, I would release Xu Lai."
“Of course I made that connection,” He Songling said. “But it’s precisely because I’m not stupid that I dare not gamble. What if you catch the person and then refuse to let me go? Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?”
"Is it true that Cheng Zaozao was turned into a human pig, as you told Wanwan?" Zhan Jingting asked. "You should know that if you lie to me, you will regret it."
"I'm just telling you the truth based on what I've asked. I want to find Cheng Zaozao more than you do right now."
"Alright, since you can't meet Wanwan's conditions, I'll give you another option."
“Impossible.” He Songling seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. “I’d never betray him. I’d rather die than help you hurt him.”
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "You are indeed loyal."
“This isn’t about loyalty. If he were my boss, I could do it. But unfortunately, he’s my friend. I won’t do anything to betray my friend, at least not now.”
"Oh? Unless he wronged you first?"
“Yes,” He Songling said. “He has already left the Golden Triangle and is preparing to regroup to deal with you again. You won’t be able to find him, so I advise you not to waste your manpower and resources looking for him. Instead, focus on finding Cheng Zaozao.”
“I should be the one saying that to you,” Zhan Jingting smiled. “I know my wife. What she said just now was just a threat in a fit of anger. She would never turn an innocent girl into a human pig, but I would.”
He Songling's heart trembled violently!
Zhan Jingting warned, word by word, "So don't be too optimistic. I don't have that much patience or kindness. I will repay you tenfold for how you torment Wanwan."
......
Before leaving the capital, Qiao Wanwan met with Xu Lai.
"Madam Zhan, you don't look well. May I ask what happened?" Xu Lai asked nervously. "Is it related to him?"
“You’re very smart.” Qiao Wanwan sat down on a chair nearby and said, “He Songling told me that my sister has been turned into a human pig by his accomplices. Do you know what a human pig is?”
“I know…” Xu Lai’s face paled. “I’ve seen it on TV… Are there people like that in real life?”
"Television is a reflection of reality, but reality is a thousand times, ten thousand times crueler than television," Qiao Wanwan said expressionlessly. "I'm going over there to find my sister soon. You stay here and don't worry, you'll be safe until I verify the facts."
Xu Lai gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. "Was he involved in this?"
"Of course, they're in cahoots. Whether he was there or not, whether he participated or not, he can't escape the guilt!"
"I'm sorry..." Xu Lai said weakly, "I'm so sorry..."
"You don't need to apologize, but you must stay here," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "I'll say it again, I will definitely let you see him and ask him face to face. Just wait here. Don't even think about running away, because you can't escape. Angry the bodyguards won't make things easy for you either."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she got up and left.
"Madam Zhan!" Xu Lai hurriedly called out to her.
Qiao Wanwan stopped, but did not turn around.
"I will listen to you and stay here obediently." Xu Lai said softly with tears in her eyes, "If you see him, please tell him that his birthday is coming soon. He promised me that he would spend it with me. Please ask him to keep his word."
"Okay," Qiao Wanwan agreed. "I'll pass on the message for you."
......
The plane landed at around 7 p.m.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Huo Shiqian was waiting for them to have dinner.
"Wanwan, eat your meal and get a good night's sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Mm." Qiao Wanwan picked up her chopsticks. "Brother, you've worked hard these past few days."
“I’m just keeping watch. Jiang Dong won’t even let me leave the hotel for my safety. What’s so hard about it?” Huo Shiqian put some food on her plate. “Wanwan, no matter what He Songling says, as long as we haven’t found Zaozao, we still have hope, understand?”
“I understand.” Qiao Wanwan nodded firmly. “Brother, don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. I won’t be easily defeated.”
"That's good, let's eat."
Zhan Jingting brought some more bodyguards this time, intensifying the search efforts.
Two days later, the bodyguard called to report that a bar would have a new surprise on the weekend night. After making inquiries, the bodyguard learned that it was a Chinese girl!
Qiao Wanwan's heart clenched instantly, and she instinctively grabbed Zhan Jingting's arm.
Zhan Jingting gently patted the back of her hand to reassure her, and asked, "Can we take a look beforehand?"
"Master Zhan, I've already inquired, it's impossible, no matter how much money we spend, it's not possible."
“Then let’s wait until the weekend.” Zhan Jingting turned to look at Qiao Wanwan, guessing that she would definitely go to confirm it immediately, and said in a deep voice, “This kind of occasion may not be safe. Arrange more people to keep an eye on things inside and out and protect Madam’s safety.”
"yes."
During dinner, He Songling called, "How is Xu Lai?"
"She's fine," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "I saw you come back here. Did you find my sister?"
"Still looking."
"Although ten days have already passed, the situation is special now, and I am willing to give you more time. I hope you will do your best to search."
