CHAPTER 749: CHAPTER 724: MEETING

Jiang Lao Shi woke up groggily, surrounded by darkness.

His eyes were covered with a cloth by someone, unable to see anything; he listened closely but it seems there weren’t any sounds.

Suddenly, he remembered the one-eyed man he saw before he fainted.

He recalled that the police had mentioned the fugitive was also a one-eyed man.

A fury surged in Jiang Lao Shi’s heart, this one-eyed man must be the Brother Yong that the police talked about.

This man who harmed his father-in-law and his grandson, how dare he now come looking for him!

The streets are full of police searching for him.

What kind of vicious, fearless person would dare to come and even capture him?

No need to think, he could guess this Brother Yong surely isn’t up to anything good.

Catching him was either for money or to threaten the police.

A typical man like him has no money or power; Brother Yong caught him just for this.

Money! Their family doesn’t have anyone wealthy right now.

So, it must be targeting his daughter; the most powerful daughter at home is Jiang Xiaoxiao, since she married into the Song family.

This fugitive probably wants to use him to achieve some conditions and make the police agree or compromise.

This damned man hurt his father-in-law and still wants to harm his grandson; what does their family owe this man?

Letting this man endlessly cause trouble around their family.

It’s quiet here, clearly this man is not with him.

Jiang Lao Shi struggled forcefully, he isn’t one to sit and await his doom patiently.

No matter what, for the children, he had to make some struggle; he wouldn’t easily hand his life over to someone else.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

Jiang Lao Shi quickly abandoned his struggle, relaxed his body, and leaned against the wall pretending to still be somewhat unconscious.

There was no sound of the door opening, nor any sound of a door closing.

He guessed he was locked in a place that didn’t require any sealing; this man’s calculations were unfathomable.

A pair of large hands forcefully pulled him from the wall, a sharp pain shot through his arm as the man gripped the rope tied around his arms.

"Stop pretending. You should already be awake. Come on! I’ll take you to a good place, your good daughter will be arriving soon. You can reunite as a family."

A cold and malicious voice sounded in his ear.

Jiang Lao Shi stopped pretending and struggled forcefully.

The man gave Jiang Lao Shi a whack.

"You should be obedient now, though already close to death, suffering further torture before dying isn’t necessary. You’re not going on alone, your daughter will accompany you."

Jiang Lao Shi’s heart sank.

The man’s words were filled with malice, making it clear he wanted his daughter to accompany him on his final journey.

He was close to death, and combining ’journey’ together meant they would die together.

He definitely believed that this daughter would surely not be Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue.

How deep was the hatred that the other party wanted Jiang Xiaoxiao and him to die together?

"Ugh!"

Jiang Lao Shi wanted to question the one-eyed man about what grudge or hatred their family had with him.

Why did this man dealt with their family like this?

Killed his father-in-law, abducted his grandson, and now even wanted his and his daughter’s lives.

Unfortunately, this man didn’t plan to say anything, directly pulled his arm and dragged him outside.

Jiang Lao Shi couldn’t see the road ahead and nearly fell to the ground when he was tripped by a stone beneath his feet.

The man paid no regard to his life, directly dragging him by his collar, pulling him forward.

Uneven stones on the ground rubbed against his body, arms aching.

He could feel the road was not smooth, with stones and grass growing everywhere. It must be the wilderness, though he didn’t know where.

Through the friction along the way, he quickly felt that his arm, back, legs, and buttocks were all scraped.

Even when he felt somewhat numb from the scraping, the man finally stopped and threw him there.

In the darkness, surrounding sounds became extremely sensitive; he could feel the man smoking.

Yet other sounds weren’t so noticeable, except for the cries of insects and the chirps of birds.

...

Jiang Xiaoxiao showed up alone on the small road outside the air-raid shelter in the suburbs.

There wasn’t anyone else nearby.

From the air-raid shelter location, one could see clearly the end of this small road. If someone appeared from these places, they would easily be spotted.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was curious about what Brother Yong was doing; his counter-detection skills were very strong.

Of course, today this mystery will surely be solved completely; she wanted to know why Brother Yong treated her family this way.

In their previous life, Brother Yong didn’t appear related to their family or people, she didn’t even know him.

But in this life, this man appeared suddenly and entangled with her family, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s life without end.

Doing his utmost to harm her family.

Even this time Jiang Xiaoxiao could feel that Brother Yong’s target was likely her.

Her old father was probably an innocent victim.

Calmly walking along the small road, she directly arrived at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.

At this time 8 o’clock, the sky was already dark. The air-raid shelter was like a beast with a wide-open mouth.

Waiting for Jiang Xiaoxiao to walk right into the trap.

Jiang Xiaoxiao went inside.

In the darkness at the entrance, a man appeared suddenly there.

Jiang Xiaoxiao retreated cautiously.

The beam of her flashlight fell on the man’s face, and that one eye confirmed it was Brother Yong.

Brother Yong covered his face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s flashlight circled around Brother Yong. There was no one, Brother Yong was alone here, her father was not present.

"Where’s my dad?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao questioned.

Brother Yong laughed, "Jiang Xiaoxiao, don’t rush, haste makes waste. Your father is certainly in my hands. Otherwise, you wouldn’t come here, right?"

After saying a word, he disappeared quickly.

Just like he appeared suddenly, he vanished instantly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao retreated cautiously several steps, directly to the air-raid shelter entrance.

"Don’t worry, I just wanted to observe if your amazing husband might suddenly appear? I don’t want to be caught like a turtle in a jar."

After some unknown length of time, Brother Yong reappeared again, this time looking very relaxed.

It seemed this man just surveyed the surroundings, finding no ambush, hence he appeared.

"Don’t involve irrelevant people. You wanted me to show up, and now I’m here! Where’s my father?"

"Your father is in a very safe place. You wouldn’t think I’m stupid enough to bring your father directly here to meet you, and then get completely annihilated by your mighty man?"

I’m not stupid! If I got caught by you today, your father will be buried with me in this life, with companionship on the Yellow Springs road, I’m sure I won’t be lonely."
