Chapter 255: Chapter 255 A Gift For Dong Xiaoye?

Long Xiaotian was killed. But why was he killed and who were those people that killed him?

The answers to those questions were indeed very tempting. So apart from Mo Fei who cared about my safety, even Dong Xiaoye also began to waver. After all, she was the police, it was in her professional nature to seek the truth. As for Mo Yizhi and Long Shan. . . Probably, they would only want me to die as soon as possible, lest I would bring more trouble to Mo Fei.

Everyone thought that it was because I was curious. However, although I was curious, it was not the main reason. I’ve always felt that from the beginning, the costume masked man had been slowly leading me towards something. There must be a reason why he wanted to tell me, this irrelevant outsider, his past. . .

I needed to confirm my guess because it was related to the life and death of many people!

With a straight face, I said to Mo Fei who was still hesitating, “Fei Fei, you know my temper, I am a very stubborn person.”

Yes, just like my feelings for her at the beginning, I only gave up after I found out that it was just an unrealistic dream.

Mo Fei bit her lips tightly. The teardrops at the corners of her eyes finally couldn’t be held back and fell like crystal rhinestone. “Chu Nan, do you really have to be that cold-hearted towards me? If the person begging you now was Cheng Liusu, would you still be that stubborn?”

“I would,” I replied without any hesitation. I was even surprised by my own reply. . . .

Mo Fei didn’t expect that I would reply so quickly. Not knowing how to persuade me, she subconsciously mentioned another person, “then, what if it is your little sister, what if it is Yuan Yuan?”

I was taken aback. Although I didn’t say the answer, I knew clearly that I hesitated. . .

“Can’t you just listen to me? Or do you want me to beg you?”

Since having a cold face would not work, I said in a soft tone that sounded like a boyfriend who was coaxing his girlfriend. Mo Fei’s face flushed, the rueful expression in her eyes became even obvious. Then she said fiercely, “Chu Nan, if anything happens to you, I will never forgive you easily even after I die!”

Probably apart from Mo Fei herself, no one knew who the second “you” she was referring to.

After she left the warehouse, she closed the metal door. But I knew very clearly that she didn’t leave far, and from the hurried footsteps outside the door, obviously, Dong Xiaoye and Mo Yizhi also arrived at the door.

There were only two of us left in the warehouse. The costume masked man let go of me and took two steps back. His face behind the mask was still smiling, but his breathing became a lot heavy. “Mr. Chu, I am also very curious about what you want to ask me?”

I took a deep breath and turned around. I raised my tied hands while holding Dong Xiaoye’s pistol in my hands. Pretending to be calm, I said in a deep voice, “Give me the remote control of the bombs.”

That was right, this was my real purpose!

The masked man’s smile suddenly froze. He was surprised. But just when he was about to burst out laughing, he suddenly made a retching noise. Quickly turning around, he lifted the mask with one hand, supported the car with the other hand, and started to vomit violently.

Screw you! I knew that it was very cringy for me to pretend to be a hero, but there was no need for him to puke, right?

“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t hold it any longer. . .”

Was he trying to mock me? ! I almost pulled the trigger and killed this man right on the spot to vent my anger.

With tears and snots running down his face, the costume masked man retched while forcing himself to smile. “Although I really wanted to kill Long Xiaotian, I didn’t expect that the feeling after killing someone would be like this. Hehe, to be honest, my legs are still shaking at the moment. . . Blech. . .”

I have never killed anyone, and I didn’t know what it felt like to kill someone, but I saw Long Xiaotian’s death today. It was indeed very terrifying. Therefore, seeing him vomiting also made me feel nauseous. However, what made me feel proud of myself was that I had resisted the desire to throw up. Looking at his pale face, I finally knew why he didn’t take off his costume mask. Even although he wasn’t scared of anyone finding out his real identity, he didn’t want other people to know that he was scared.

“It really is you. . .”

The man in the mask wiped his nose and mouth with his sleeve and smiled, “Mr. Chu, you have already recognized me in the hall, why are you still surprised now?”

“Of course, I will be surprised. In order to kill Long Xiaotian, you actually worked as his gardener for half a year, and none of his family actually realised that you are their gardener. Who wouldn’t be surprised?”

This costume masked man was the young gardener who said that something bad would happen tonight and advised me to leave earlier! From his voice, and from the second time he said that I was not an ordinary man, I had already guessed his identity. Obviously, he knew that someone would make trouble on purpose in the evening, but he had never suspected that I was the “suspicious” person who had sneaked into the manor with Guo Xiang. The only explanation for this was that he knew exactly who sent the threatening letter.

“Just by changing my real name, the Long family couldn’t recognize me, a little man whose life was ruined by them. So it is obvious that my family’s life is worthless in their eyes. That’s why I want these rich people to spend money to buy their lives and humiliate them! Therefore, Mr. Chu, it is not worth risking your life to fight for those people, but I really admire your courage,” the young gardener also raised his gun, carefully moving his steps laterally, “Xu Heng is my real name. ”

When I was in the hall, Green Snake called out this name before. No wonder Long Yifan didn’t recognize him. It turned out that he used a fake name in the manor. I frowned slightly, moving my steps, keeping our distance, and said, “I also have a younger sister. She is also 16 years old this year, a freshman in high school. She is very cute and very. . . sensible. . . Cough. Like you, I also love my family and hope that I can protect them forever. Therefore, although I don’t agree with your approach, I can understand your hatred for Long Xiaotian. However, what I don’t understand is that, is it really necessary for you to involve so many other people just to kill one person? Since you don’t want money, then why do you want to take hostages and make the situation so much worse? Also, whether it was exposing your name in the hall or letting me know your true identity, it was intentional, wasn’t it? What is your purpose exactly?”

“Take revenge, take revenge on those who help the Long family,” Xu Heng said with a cold gaze, “Mr. Chu should have figured it out already, right? When their lives are threatened, who was the first one to bring over the ransom? I believe that everyone will be curious, right? Why can a person with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan gather a million in cash in such a short time? Haha, plus the evidence of the corrupt officials listed in the report letter received by the police, some officials will definitely be investigated. Once they investigated those people, and my background, they will definitely be able to link them all together and reveal the truth that was hidden by Long Xiaotian. This is my goal. I want everyone to know what they have done to my family.”

“It was really you who sent the report to the police!” I was shocked.

This Xu Heng was really scheming. He who suffered from the collusion between the corrupted officials and the Long family knew how much power those people had. In order to expose them, he must design a big heist. The bigger the crime was, the more people would know about it, and the more people knew about it, the harder it would be to cover it up. If everything in the report letter was true, even if Long Xiaotian died, his family would not be able to escape the punishment. I couldn’t help but swallow, my finger moved slightly on the trigger, “in order to create enough influence, you are even willing to sacrifice your accomplices? Your betrayal will get them killed!”

The other five gunmen were still staying in the hall. The hostages and the ransom were also there, so no one would have thought that Xu Heng would want to run away without getting that money.

“It’s not betrayal. Though measured by the standard of the law, we are the same, the sins they carry are beyond my reach. I said that good people will be rewarded. But apart from that, I also believe that bad people will be punished eventually. The relationship between me and them is nothing more than temporary cooperation. They want to use me to get money, I want to use them to get revenge. Now that everyone got what they wanted, there is no need for me to stay with them.”

Because we were both moving while talking, our positions were swapped at this moment. After Xu Heng got near the door, he took out an envelope and threw it to me. Then he bent down to pick up the case Mo Fei handed to me. When he straightened up his back again, he looked at Dong Xiaoye’s handbag I dropped on the ground and said with a smile, “I am not qualified to be a hero, so consider those five people my gift for Officer Dong Xiaoye, hehe. Actually, I have already recognized her the moment I picked up her handbag. She had come to the manor last night and early this morning in the police uniform. But at that time, she had short hair, so I think she is wearing a wig now? And the reason why you hit Man Zi was to prevent her from exposing herself, right?”

Er. . . Although I knew that Dong Xiaoye’s identity would be exposed after I took out the gun, I forgot that Dong Xiaoye had been to the manor before.

Suddenly, I felt like I was such a fool. Her identity had already been exposed, but I was still trying to cover up for her. . .

I glanced at the envelope on the ground, but I did not lower my guard and bend down to pick it up. I continued to move towards the corner, carefully watching Xu Heng’s every move. I had an intuition that once I lowered my guard, he would definitely try to disarm me. . .

Although it was shameless for me to doubt this man after what he had done to protect me, I was a law-abiding citizen, and he was a murder, there was no reason for me to trust him.
