Chapter 20: The Murderer is Long San Hua Xia Book Library Net
Here is the translation:
Jin Tianxing sat on Old Man Mo's bed, "What should we do? Should we report to the police?" Lan Xinlin shook her head, "Fourth Aunt is a member of the Zongtian Group. She has been lurking around Old Man Mo for almost ten years. What was she after?"
"This question is too simple," Jin Tianxing said. "Old Man Mo is an authority in the antique world. When he was young, he went to the Ghost Valley alone. The Zongtian Group must have found out about this through some channel and sent someone to infiltrate Old Man Mo's side for a long time. That person is Fourth Aunt. Yesterday, she overheard our conversation and reported it to the Zongtian Group. To get more useful information, they kidnapped Old Man Mo."
Lan Xinlin continued Jin Tianxing's reasoning, "According to you, the Zongtian Group kidnapped Old Man Mo and learned about the existence of the Three-Eyed Buddha from him. Then, Dog Xiong and others were killed. The Three-Eyed Buddha must have fallen into the hands of the Zongtian Group."
Jin Tianxing felt a bit tense when he thought about dealing with the Zongtian Group, "Based on your understanding of the Zongtian Group, who do you think they will send to handle this matter?"
Lan Xinlin didn't need to think twice, "The Zongtian Group has only one person who is best at doing this kind of thing. His name is not unfamiliar to you, and you have even met him before."
Jin Tianxing's head suddenly hurt a bit, "You're talking about Long San. Thinking about his bald head and wolf-like mouth makes my brain ache."
Lan Xinlin said, "To be precise, it's Killer Long San, the most notorious killer and thug of the Zongtian Group. I can see that you're afraid of him."
Jin Tianxing didn't hide his fear, "You're right, I never thought I would deal with a man whose hands are stained with blood. So, I'm afraid of him. Thinking about dealing with such a person makes my legs weak. But don't worry, for Luo Yi's sake, I can overcome all fears."
Lan Xinlin felt a bit moved and said with a tinge of sadness, "I really envy Luo Yi for having you as her husband."
Jin Tianxing intentionally avoided his feelings towards Lan Xinlin, who looked very similar to Qingqing. He had some affection for her, but Luo Yi's life was still uncertain, and the complicated emotions made him headache. To change the subject, he asked Lan Xinlin, "What do you think we should do next? How should we handle Old Man Mo's kidnapping case? Should we report it to the police?"
Lan Xinlin said, "We can't report it to the police. If the police get involved now, Old Man Mo's life will be in danger."
Jin Tianxing asked, "Then what should we do?"
Lan Xinlin had an idea, "You have a good relationship with Long San, right? Why don't you talk to him and ask him to release Old Man Mo as a favor to you?"
Jin Tianxing was taken aback, "Are you joking? I don't think I have that much face."
Lan Xinlin said, "We won't know unless we try. Can you bear to see Old Man Mo suffer at Long San's hands?"
Just then, the sound of a car stopping outside interrupted their conversation. The two of them rushed out of the door together.
A black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance, and Fourth Sister got out of the car first, opened the door, and helped Old Mo get out of the car. Following closely behind was a burly man who got out of the car, none other than the ruthless killer Long San, who made Jin Tianxing feel somewhat afraid.
Long San wasn't surprised to see Jin Tian Xing, and smiled as he walked towards him. "I didn't expect to run into Mr. Jin here, it seems we really do have a connection." In his heart, Jin Tian Xing thought, I don't want to have any connection with you in this world, but he still went forward and shook hands with Long San, saying some insincere words. "It's been a few days, Mr. Long's demeanor is even more impressive than before." Long San smiled awkwardly, his eyes fixed on Lan Xin Lin as he said, "My demeanor can't compare to Mr. Jin's, you managed to get a female police officer in the palm of your hand in just a few days, I don't have that kind of skill." "Stop spouting nonsense," Si Yu said, walking up to the two with Du Yan by his side. "You're blocking the way." Jin Tian Xing took three steps back, making way for them. Lan Xin Lin observed secretly, and saw that Old Man Mo's expression and demeanor were normal, as if he hadn't been subjected to severe interrogation. After Old Man Mo entered the house, Long San slightly bowed his head and gestured towards the door. "Please, Mr. Jin." Jin Tian Xing imitated Long San's actions. "Please, Mr. Long!" Lan Xin Lin snorted coldly and walked into the ancient mansion first, with Jin Tian Xing following behind her. Long San was last, and when he confirmed no one was paying attention, he quietly closed the large door of the ancient mansion. This action caused Jin Tian Xing's heart to start beating faster.
A group of people sat down in the living room, Fourth Sister was still wearing yesterday's clothes, but her temperament had changed, and she exuded a sharp and capable air from every gesture. From her attitude towards Long San, it could be seen that this woman held a high position in the Zong Tian Group, at least on the same level as Long San. She was smiling at Jin Tian Xing, her smile making Jin Tian Xing feel very uneasy, even with a hint of horror.
Long San cleared his throat, "I think everyone is familiar with me, so I'd like to introduce a friend, Lin Tianxue, also known as Fourth Sister, who is the Vice President of our company's Greater China region. She is highly valued by our Chairman, Zong Kuo. Her future prospects are boundless." Lan Xinlin silently memorized Lin Tianxue's name, having checked on the company for so many years without knowing there was such a person. She had been able to stay hidden beside Dugu for almost ten years, and even with Dugu's sharp eyes, he hadn't discovered her weakness. What a formidable opponent! Lan Xinlin wondered how many more people like this were in the company. Jin Tianxing's gaze had been fixed on Dugu since he entered the room, but the old man still hadn't spoken, leaving everyone wondering what he was planning.
