Chapter 100100 Short Talk
"And then?" Captain Luo asked in a deep voice.
Wan Amei said: "I went with him. They taught me how to drive, how to take unmanned roads, how to talk and hide things when passing through checkpoints. And..."
Li Ao: "What else? Don't I want to teach you shooting and fighting?"
Wan Amei's tone was no longer as mechanical, but rather a hint of resistance. However, it wasn't a resistance to the memory, but rather she sensed the controlled state she was in. Her breath was unsteady as she continued, "They taught us how to shoot. First we shot at targets, then we shot at tied-up live chickens and dogs, until we saw blood. Finally, we untied the chickens, dogs, and cats, and practiced shooting while moving..."
Everyone's faces darkened. An organization that could support such dark and illegal training was definitely not some roving gang of bandits.
Captain Luo then asked, "What was the name of the man who took you away? What did he look like? Do you have a photo? Where is he now?"
Wan Amei said, "His surname was Zeng, but he's gone now, having died ten years ago. Later, someone else took over our business. That person's surname was Huang. He had a flat face, liked to wear suits, and had shoulder-length hair. He was a man."
Tu Lanxun's whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but remember a name, Morning Glory.
One of the managers of Tianguo Group. She guessed that Qianniu's position was similar to N's, but he was in charge of peripheral black market business. He was also extremely loyal, otherwise he would not have been the one to wipe out Lu Jiasui's family.
I didn't expect to meet you here again.
Captain Luo meticulously noted down the information about the long-haired man surnamed Huang. Wan Amei also revealed that the snake-like ghost used in the mural robbery was sent by the long-haired man. She, Zheng Dabao, and Diao Jinlong couldn't see it, but they knew only that an evil presence was following them, keeping them safe and sound through each and every one of their encounters.
Wan Amei's interrogation is over.
As they left the ward, they saw Xiao Zhang's expression was somewhat heavy. An Feng was talking to an unfamiliar nurse. When he saw them come out, he said, "Captain Li, Director Wen, Captain Luo. Diao Jinlong didn't hold on and died."
Of the three fugitives, only Wan Amei is still alive. After she recovers, she will be sent to trial and sentenced according to the procedures and face the judgment of the law. The final outcome is foreseeable: she will receive a bullet of fate.
I just don't know if before she died, she would regret for the girl who worked in a textile factory and loved shooting balloons with a plastic gun.

The smuggling case was settled, and Captain Luo and others also received a banner from the anchor team of Dameihua Village. Their car was robbed by Wan Amei in the deserted village. Fortunately, she did not have time to kill them, and these people were rescued.
Before leaving Xi Province, Tu Lanxun went to find Wen Chong and asked, "What should we do with the ghosts of that weathered ancient village?"
Wen Chong smiled. "Don't worry. Our Tourism Management Bureau has a set of assistance methods. We provide education and guidance for those who can integrate into modern life. Those who are willing to reincarnate will be sent away. Those who don't want to leave will be recorded and kept there, and someone will check on them regularly."
It turned out that Lu Lianbing and Zhao Kuanqiao did not show up because they went to deal with this matter.
"Li Ao's arm still needs to heal. He and Xiao Zhang Anfeng will leave for their return journey in three days." Wen Chong sorted through the documents and stood up. "I'm leaving tonight, but I need to return to the capital first before going to Lucheng. Will you come with me, or with Li Ao and the others?"
Tu Lanxun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with Captain Li and the others."
Going to the capital was a good idea. She now had a half-employed job and wanted to get to know the place, but it wouldn't be a good idea to involve N and Mikhail in it. No one knew if the people at the Capital Tourism Bureau were as easy to talk to as Wen Chong.
Wen Chong laughed: "Don't regret it, I took a plane, Li Ao and the others took the high-speed train, the treatment is different."
Tu Lanxun also laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid of heights."
The local accommodation was still a guesthouse. Li Ao refused to be hospitalized no matter what, and directly asked An Feng to come back with the luggage. When Tu Lanxun came back, she saw a dark shadow rushing over from the corner, and An Feng snatched the gauze and medicine from Xiao Zhang's hands, "Auntie, you should rest."
Tu Lanxun finally saw clearly that the bear-like shadow that had just passed by was Li Ao. He looked at the medicine bottle in Xiao Zhang's hand warily and ordered, "Zhang'er, put it down and give it to Xiao An!"
Xiao Zhang was unhappy, "Captain Li, let me apply medicine for you. An Feng is from the Municipal Bureau, and I am your direct subordinate." As she said that, she walked around An Feng and was about to come over.
Li Ao's face turned pale. He covered his arms and dodged backwards repeatedly, "You, you, don't come over here!"
"Why are you hiding? I'm trained in emergency first aid!"
"It's not that urgent right now! Take it away! I'll take a taxi to the hospital myself!"
An Feng secretly told Tu Lanxun, "Nuli changed Captain Li's dressing and he was in so much pain that his howling could be heard throughout the guesthouse. People came to ask if something bad had happened."
Tu Lanxun couldn't help laughing. Li Ao's eyes narrowed, and she quickly walked away, saying, "I haven't received any emergency first aid training. I'll go up first, Captain Li."
An Feng finally took Xiao Zhang's potion away, and she even stretched her neck to call Tu Lanxun, "Hey, Tu Tu, let's rent a car tomorrow morning and go for a walk. I heard there's a scenic spot of grottoes nearby with several A's!"
Li Ao's face darkened. "This is a guesthouse. Keep your voice down and behave yourself!"

Tu Lanxun returned to his room. This time the room was quite special. It was a single room for all guests and was only slightly smaller than a standard room. The police officer from Western Province who was in charge of the reception waved his hand and arranged a single room for each person. The environment was simple but clean.
As expected, N's figure quietly appeared at the end of the bed, staring at Tu Lanxun like a real ghost standing on the bed.
Tu Lanxun: “What?”
N wanted to say something but stopped herself. She just kept looking at Tu Lanxun. She was also stiff and didn't say anything. N actually felt aggrieved. Her eyes were watery and she turned her body to the side, twisted into a deep pose, lowered her head and said nothing.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Tu Lanxun turned around and hugged the quilt, threw his coat and jeans to the end of the bed, and got in comfortably. "Nothing else, I'm going to sleep."
N seemed to have found something to do. He bent over to pick up the clothes painted with blue Xun and folded them lightly. He sat down on the only single chair, piled the square of clothes on his knees, and put his hands on it, as if he could feel safe in this sandwich position.
Tu Lanxun was feeling a bit hot lying there, and one of his legs, clad in light-colored autumn johns, was sticking out from under the covers. N's gaze fell on it, then shifted away in an instant. He suddenly asked, "Do you blame me?"
"Haha." Tu Lanxun hummed twice, "Now you remember to ask."
N is now extremely certain: "You are blaming me."
Tu Lanxun turned over and sat up, wanting to take off her socks and throw them at him, but seeing how her socks were neatly tucked in outside her long johns, without a single wrinkle, she looked away and said bluntly, "Would I take off all my clothes except for my underwear and long johns in front of the person I resent?"
N had hit a dead end and closed his eyes. "That's because you were forced to be bound to me. If you could get rid of me, you definitely wouldn't be willing to stay with me for even a minute and would immediately run away to a place thousands of miles away from me."
Tu Lanxun glanced at him several times, interrupting his self-pity. He said loudly, "Why are you so beautiful? Do you think you're the hero in a tragic love story? But you're right about one thing. If I don't tie myself to you, I'll definitely find a place where I can be alone."
N: "You really hate me, no, you hate me." He fell into despair.
Tu Lanxun: "I just haven't had any private space for too long... Wait, aren't we talking about whether to hate or not?"
She crossed her arms, pulling the quilt over her crossed legs, looking quite imposing as if she were a young woman from Kaifeng Prefecture, dressed in her robes and entering the courtroom. "I do have something to ask you. Why did you go to that warehouse in the first place? Were you involved in my kidnapping?"
"I was conducting a routine inspection of Jin Kun's work on behalf of the Tianguo Group. I was not involved and only discovered that they had done this when I got there," said N.
Tu Lanxun pointed out sharply: "But you didn't take the initiative to rescue me, and you didn't call the police afterwards. Instead, you completely sided with them."
What she said was an objective judgment, without any moral color, but N couldn't look her in the eye. He said in a hoarse voice, "I... I actually did something, but I guess you won't trust me anymore. This is entirely my fault. You blame me, I..."
Tu Lanxun could no longer bear it and ordered as gently as possible: "Talk about the matter."
N then confided, "After Jin Kun's final round of threats, the likelihood of him killing you was actually very low. I was checking the accounts at the time, and he had helped Dong Tianlong get into such a huge financial mess... Dong Tianlong didn't dare to remotely control Jin Kun's murder and finish the job. He was at a loss, busy covering up the whole thing from his father, and he just wished you had never appeared."
"Is he afraid of you? Afraid his father will be angry if he finds out about the kidnapping?"
"He's not afraid of me, but his dad. His dad won't be angry that he kidnapped someone, but he will be annoyed that he dragged his feet." N said succinctly.
Tu Lanxun suddenly found it somewhat interesting. He could already imagine what N looked like at that time. He was probably wearing a very elite suit and had a foxy look on his face, which made Jin Kun and Dong Tianlong, who was far away, tremble with fear. Just thinking about it made people hate him so much, but they had to treat him with respect.
Ah, this person is always good at putting on airs, why did he just leak out all the oil and become completely dull and cowardly?
A sharp knife dipped in sugar and honey, now stripped of all its sweetness, now pointed coldly at himself. Is this a new way to control others? It's quite... addictive.
Damn it, whether intentional or not, she was being controlled.
She fell back on the bed, looked up at the ceiling, and smiled emotionlessly: "Asshole."
N persisted, "Do you still hate me? I got my comeuppance. I died less than a year after that incident. It was so painful, and the rain was so cold."
His voice choked slightly when he said this, but he immediately smiled to hide it. Tu Lanxun pretended to be indifferent and said, "I won't hate you. I've even let go of my mother. What else can't I forgive?"
N's voice suddenly became real, a grainy sound hitting her eardrums. "You know, rather than hating me, I'm more afraid that you'll just 'forgive' me like you did to Auntie..."
