Chapter 268 Rouge is dead
Wu Shenghua: "Once this matter is settled, Duanmu Lin, you must send Rongrong to me immediately. You are such a jerk, using someone else's daughter to deal with her father. Rongrong has always respected you so much. Even if she is not your biological daughter, you shouldn't treat her like this, right?"
Duanmu Lin: "Master Wu, you really misunderstood. I was completely unaware of all this. It was all planned by this little minion next to me. I only found out about it afterwards, but it was too late. The feud had already been formed and it was either him or me who would die. Don't worry! I didn't do anything to Rongrong at all. She's probably on vacation somewhere now. Isn't this a good result? I can get justice for your sister without any effort."
Wu Shenghua sneered at this: "Even if you are as eloquent as a silver tongue, you can't change your wolfish nature." He looked at Duanmu Lin with disdain and turned away.
Qiu Shanhe: "Do you think Hongtai will be fooled?"
Duanmu Lin: "It's hard to say. It depends on how much he loves his daughter."
Qiu Shanhe: "Then let's go back first!"
At this time, Zhang Fanxi walked in.
"It was Hongtai who killed Jijihua and my unborn child? It was him? Are you sure?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Yes, he admitted it himself. Do you hate him?"
Zhang Fanxi: "If I say I don't feel anything, will you think I'm heartless?"
Duanmu Lin: "No, because this is realistic. How can you feel anything if you don't have any feelings for them?"
Zhang Fanxi: "Just think of it as a dream."
Duanmu Lin: "I heard you're going to be a father soon? When is your wife going to give birth?"
Zhang Fanxi: "Not so fast, maybe another five months or so!"
Duanmu Lin: "Let's not have a wedding, but we should at least pretend to celebrate the full moon! Your wife is willing to be with you and give birth to your child without any status, so you have to show your appreciation in some way, and don't let her get too upset."
Zhang Fanxi: "Thanks for the reminder."
Duanmu Lin: "I'm so tired, Qiu Shanhe, let's go."
Two days later, Hongtai kept his promise and resigned and returned to the countryside, but his heart was always thinking about Duanmu Rong.
He finally couldn't stand the torment of missing her anymore, so he asked some of his former subordinates to find out Duanmu Rong's whereabouts.
Not long after, his old subordinates brought news that Duanmu Rong was now living in her uncle's house, which made him feel a little relieved.
But he was still worried and decided to go and see for himself whether his biological daughter was doing well.
Hongtai drove to Wu Shenghua's house in person, but found a puzzling scene at the door.
He saw Duanmu Lin, Duanmu Rong and Qiu Shanhe chatting and drinking tea happily in the yard, which was not at all what Qiu Shanhe had said before.
He was afraid of being discovered so he only looked for a while and then drove back.
He asked his subordinates to go to Snow White Manor to investigate, but the truth they found out basically broke him down.
Duanmu Rong was not kidnapped at all. No one had restricted her freedom of life in Baixue Manor. She was really just there for vacation.
Hongtai secretly scolded himself for being reckless and stupid. He was only concerned about his daughter's safety and agreed to the other party's conditions without even checking them carefully. As a result, he really fell into the trap.
He regretted it deeply but there was nothing he could do. His resignation was an irreversible reality and he was no longer the general who was respected by everyone.
But he was still unwilling to give in and was determined to take revenge.
Hongtai learned that Qiu Shanhe was already in a relationship with Duanmu Rong, and Wu Shenghua was also satisfied with the young man Qiu Shanhe and planned to recruit him as his nephew-in-law. Now they are living together in Wu Shenghua's house.
After several days of investigation, Hongtai, who was born as a scout, quickly grasped Qiu Shanhe's whereabouts.
The past few days hadn't calmed him down, and every time he saw the family having a happy time together, it only made him angrier.
That day, he came to Wu Shenghua's door again, waiting for an opportunity.
When he saw Qiu Shanhe walking out alone, he followed him silently.
They came to an alley together. Hongtai saw that there was no one around and was about to speed up and rush over, but he found that Qiu Shanhe turned into another alley and disappeared.
He looked around for Qiu Shanhe, when suddenly he heard Qiu Shanhe's voice from behind.
"Are you looking for me?"
As soon as Hongtai turned around, Qiu Shanhe was standing behind him without him noticing.
Hongtai quickly took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Qiu Shanhe, but Qiu Shanhe snatched the knife away.
Then Qiu Shanhe slashed Hongtai's neck with a knife. With a "hiss", he clearly heard the sound of blood spurting out from the aorta. Not long after, he saw Hongtai covering his neck and slowly falling to the ground.
He squatted beside Hongtai and said, "We have all let you go, why don't you let yourself go?"
Hongtai pointed at Wu Shenghua's house and slowly closed his eyes.
Qiu Shanhe: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Rongrong."
He wiped his fingerprints off the knife and placed it next to Hongtai.
"You should retire now that you're old. You must have forgotten that I was a police officer before, right? You drove over to spy on me every day. Do you think I didn't know? Father-in-law, I'm sorry I had to wait until you're dead to call you father-in-law."
He stood up and returned to Wu Shenghua's home as if nothing had happened.
No one cared about Hongtai's death and even the newspapers did not report it. The Myanmar police also investigated the case as suicide.
In this way, everyone lived a relatively peaceful life.
Until one day a prostitute died in her rented house.
The police investigated for a long time but found no clues, but the neighbors said that she did bring a man back before her death, so the police all agreed that this was just an isolated case of a client killing a prostitute and it did not pose any social harm. After investigating for a while without any clues, they stopped the investigation.
And that prostitute happened to be Cheng Wanjin's top prostitute. She and the other girls she brought with her earned a lot of money for him over the year.
This made Cheng Wanjin very upset, and he called Zhang Fanxi to his room.
"Rouge is dead."
Zhang Fanxi was confused: "Which Rouge? I only know a few grown men here!"
Cheng Wanjin: "She's a mama-san in my nightclub."
Zhang Fanxi: "This is a high-risk job. Even if she dies, there's no way to bring her back!"
Cheng Wanjin: "You have a pig's brain. Last time you were reported, and this time a girl died in my place. It's obvious that someone wants to destroy us."
Zhang Fanxi: "The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If he wants to come secretly, we really have no way to stop him!"
Cheng Wanjin: "Anyway, I don't care. Yanzhi pays the girl's protection fee at the beginning of every month. Now that she's dead, you have to get this money back first and we can deal with the rest later."
Zhang Fanxi: "Which girl is she from?"
Cheng Wanjin: "The moon."
Zhang Fanxi frowned: "Why is it this room again?"
Cheng Wanjin: "Do you have any questions?"
Zhang Fanxi quickly shook his head: "No problem, I'll go ask about the situation and report back to you when the bar closes tonight!"
