Chapter 288 Seeking Death
Lu Ling looked down at Chen Jinliang, whose face was full of pleading.
This person adopted and raised her, leading her onto the path of animal rescue.
She once believed that her entire value lay in rescuing animals, and she has been striving towards this goal ever since.
But little did she know that what she thought was "rescue" was actually an accomplice in pushing animals to hell.
She kicked Chen Jinliang away, her voice flat: "I can't control their thoughts."
Chen Jinliang has committed countless evil deeds and tried to kill Meng Qingyin and the others. Now that he is outmatched, he should be prepared to die.
She wouldn't beg for mercy on his behalf.
Her life had already been repaid to him when Chen Jinliang ruthlessly "killed" her and "dumped" her body in the back mountain.
Whatever Chen Jinliang's fate may be, it's none of her business anymore.
Chen Jinliang seemed surprised by Lu Ling's ruthlessness and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch! If I hadn't saved you back then, you would have been devoured by wild beasts long ago!"
Lu Ling ignored his shouts and turned to walk towards the association.
Although she wouldn't plead for Chen Jinliang, she didn't want to see him killed either.
Lu Ling left without any hesitation, her figure quickly disappearing into the shadows of the trees.
Chen Jinliang continued to hurl insults.
Zhang Yan got annoyed and shook the glass bottle in his hand. "Shut up, or I'll pour this corrosive liquid into your mouth."
The corrosive liquid had an immediate effect, and Chen Jinliang immediately fell silent, much to Zhang Yan's satisfaction.
A short while later, Meng Qingyin and the other two teleported back, and she and the old man with spiritual energy retrieved their wristwatches.
Zhang Yan raised an eyebrow at her, and said with a hint of narcissism, "How are you going to thank me later?"
Meng Qingyin thought about it and realized that the smooth progress this time was indeed largely thanks to Zhang Yan.
But seeing his smug look, as if he had indeed carried the whole team, she shook her head and remained silent.
Just as Zhang Yan was about to say something, Qin Jiu successfully rescued Master Meng'er.
Zhang Yan put that topic aside for now and asked, "What should we do with Chen Jinliang? Kill him outright?"
Meng Qingyin: "Don't kill him yet. There might be a whole industry chain behind him."
Zhang Yan asked in confusion, "What industrial chain?"
Meng Qingyin explained: "In the animal industry chain, he has harmed so many animals, and in the end, he will definitely turn them into money. We still need to find out the merchants who bought them from him and bring them all down in one fell swoop before we can completely solve the problem. There will be another Chen Jinliang."
Zhang Yan nodded. "Understood. Leave the interrogation to me. I'm the best at it."
He squatted down in front of Chen Jinliang and said bluntly, "Either reveal who's behind you, or I'll pour this corrosive liquid on you right now. Which do you choose?"
Chen Jinliang stared at him, then suddenly grinned: "Hahaha, you actually dare to dream of destroying this industrial chain? How ridiculous! I advise you, don't overestimate yourselves!"
After saying that, he resolutely rammed his hand into Zhang Yan's.
Zhang Yan was shocked, thinking that this guy was going to die with him, and retreated repeatedly.
But he was wrong. Chen Jinliang wasn't planning to die with him; his target was the bottle of corrosive liquid in his hand.
Chen Jinliang smashed the bottle, spilling the corrosive liquid inside onto his head.
With a "sizzle," his entire head was corroded away.
Zhang Yan never expected him to seek death voluntarily. "If he's dead, how can we find the buyer behind him?"
Meng Qingyin said helplessly, "The person is dead, so we can only think of other ways."
Even Chen Jinliang was deeply afraid of the buyers behind them, and would rather die than reveal their identities...
Who exactly are they?
But none of this is known.
Meng Qingyin lifted her foot and walked forward. "Let's go and see those who slipped through the net. Maybe we can get some information out of them."
At the time, they did not exterminate all the people in the slaughterhouse.
However, they are only there to provide the necessary support and probably don't have access to the buyers' information.
The group returned to the slaughterhouse, where all the animals that were supposed to be killed had escaped. The two burly men who had fainted from fright were still lying on the ground, unattended.
These are the only two living people left in the slaughterhouse.
Meng Qingyin woke them up. The two were still a little dazed when they woke up, but they quickly realized that they had been wiped out.
So the two of them, being quite perceptive, said, "Ask us whatever you want, we'll answer everything we know!"
Meng Qingyin: "Do you know where those animals that were... killed were ultimately transported to?"
A man with a buzz cut said, "These are the bosses' private matters. We're just here to do the work; how would we know about these things?"
A squinty-eyed man next to him seemed to have thought of something, "I overheard the meat delivery driver making a phone call, it sounded like he was discussing something with his boss, saying that the shipment needed to be moved to a new location..."
Where is that place?
Squinting eyes: "I don't know about that, he didn't say."
Meng Qingyin then asked, "Does that driver come every day?"
Before the squinty-eyed man could speak, the crew-cut man interjected, "Of course not! Usually, when we have goods on our side, Boss Chen will coordinate with them, and then they will send a driver to pick up the goods."
Now that Chen Jinliang is dead, it's probably impossible to contact those people behind him.
Zhang Yan suddenly pulled a cell phone out of his pocket: "This is Chen Laogou's watch. Maybe it has those people's contact information on it?"
Meng Qingyin was speechless for a moment, unsure whether to ask him why he took Chen Jinliang's watch or to praise him for taking it.
Zhang Yan chuckled: "I know you want to praise me, so go ahead and praise me."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
She picked up the watch and checked the call log.
She discovered a contact with no nickname and a black profile picture. Chen Jinliang would call him every few days, but each call was short.
The most recent call was yesterday.
This person is very likely the one behind it all.
Meng Qingyin handed the watch to Fei Qiu: "Fei Qiu, send him a message and see if you can find out anything."
Zhang Yan was displeased: "I took the watch, why won't you let me ask?"
Meng Qingyin: "You are too easy for the other party to notice, and it only takes a second to be exposed."
Zhang Yan reluctantly shut his mouth.
Lu Cheng: "Why can't I?"
Meng Qingyin: "You're not much better than him."
Lu Cheng: "..."
Lu Cheng and Zhang Yan looked at each other, and said in unison, "How can I be compared to him? He's not even as good as me!"
After they finished speaking, their faces darkened simultaneously.
Zhang Yan thought resentfully, "Could it be that in Meng Qingyin's heart, Lu Cheng is as important as him?"
Lu Cheng was even more unconvinced. How could he be compared to a narcissist?
