Chapter 246: What are you Waiting For?


    Hmm… He was not wrong.


    “My people failed to capture that fat man,” The middle-aged man stared at Jiang Cheng, “He is… very agile.”


    “Exceptionally agile.”


    “However, you might not realise how much he cares about you even though you only treat him like a tool.” The middle-aged man turned to the young man beside him. The young man spoke up, “After we realised the fat man had escaped from the market, he sneaked back to this ce. He is currently hiding in the rooftop of the building opposite here to observe the situation in this office.” The young man pointed at an old residential building. It had been abandoned for a while already. It was a good vantage spot.


    However, Fatty, who didn’t have anti-recon experience, didn’t realise such great vantage spots would expose him easily. He probably wouldn’t be able to escape. After all, while he was slippery, he was useless in a fight. Since he was exposed, it was only a matter of time until he was caught.


    “Therefore… do you n to murder us both?” Jiang Cheng looked at the man.


    The middle-aged man looked back at him, “Why do you say that?”


    Jiang Cheng turned to the young man who spoke earlier. “There is a unique smell on him. It’s chlorine mixed with disinfectant. You are not familiar with this ce. Therefore, after you kill us, you’ll take our bodies away. However, the journey is long. To prevent our bodies from reeking, you’ve prepared the disinfectant cocktail to cover the smell.”


    The middle-aged man’s eyes glowed slightly. He didn’t deny it. “Continue.”“I believe your best solution is to strangle us with ropes.” He paused, “That will make the crime scene cleaner. It will be easier for you to make it look like we have disappeared. However, I’m curious about one thing. This ce doesn’t have that many cameras, but they are still there. Plus, there are private cameras set up by local shops. How can you be sure the police won’t be on your tail? You drove here in more than one car. Hiding your presence will be a big problem,” He lifted his head to ask, “How do you n to solve all these problems?”


    “Mr. Hao doesn’t need to worry about that for us.” Chen Xiaomeng lifted her skirt, worried that the rough edges of the table might cut her skirt. “Since you’re so stubborn, you can die a stubborn duck.” She pretended to be thinking, “This should be ourst meeting, so I should call you Jiang Cheng.” In their previous investigations, they found out certain things about Jiang Cheng, like his real name.


    “Uncle Gong, it’s gettingte. Send him on his way,” Chen Xiaomeng crossed her legs as she sat on the couch. She took out her phone to y on it.


    Uncle Gong’s methods were clean and quick. Several minutester, they’d leave with Jiang Cheng’s body wrapped in the carpet. Then, this man would disappear from the world and the nightmare realm. It was the same for Fatty.


    Uncle Gong held the whip and looked down at Jiang Cheng. To his surprise, the young man didn’t show any emotions rted to fear in his eyes. At the same time, he didn’t put up any resistance.


    “Aren’t you going to try to fight back?” Jiang Cheng didn’t move a muscle as the rope wound around his neck. This surprised the middle-aged man. Based on what the girl said, Jiang Cheng was quite a fighter. He had once taken down tworge men at once.


    The middle-aged man had been wary because he suspected the man’s surrender was an act. He was waiting for them to put their guard down before making an ambush. However, the man still didn’t do anything even though the noose was already around his neck.


    “Young man,” The middle-aged man sighed with pity, “You are not bad. Unfortunately, I cannot tell if you’re on our side or if you’ll ultimately be corrupted. You have immense potential, so… I can’t risk letting you live. Or else you might threaten Meng Meng in the next nightmare.” He paused. Then, he started to tighten the rope. “If you want to me someone, me yourself for angering someone you shouldn’t.”


    “Wait!” Just as the rope was about to touch Jiang Cheng’s skin, he suddenly screamed.


    The middle-aged man paused. He was not a merciful person, but for this young man, he had the greatest patience. Based on his observation and the girl’s description, the young man was exceptionally talented. He was cautious and determined and didn’t suffer from guilt. He was born to be a killer. ???????Ε??


    “What are you waiting for?” The middle-aged man sighed.


    Jiang Cheng slowly extended his finger to press the phone on the other side of the table. The message on the screen popped into the middle-aged man’s sight. “Hang on. We’ve confirmed your location. We’ll be there in ten minutes.” That message was received ten minutes ago.


    The middle-aged man’s pupils trembled.


    The next second, the office door was kicked down. Police officers rushed in. One of them had a sharp ponytail. She waved her gun around and shouted, “Put down your weapons!” The two young men were knocked over. Chen Xiaomeng was female, so she was treated better, but she was detained too.


    Even her phone fell to the ground.


    “Cough… Cough…” Jiang Cheng struggled with his hands on the rope. The veins popped on his forehead. His pupils rolled like a flopping fish. He mmed into his chair.


    “Stop!” The policewoman aimed her gun at the middle-aged man. “Release him… Or I’ll shoot!”


    A police officer slowly moved through the suspect’s blind spot.


    “Save me… Cough…”


    Jiang Cheng gripped the rope. He yed the role of a poor victim to perfection. The awkward thing was that the middle-aged man had already raised both his hands in surrender, but Jiang Cheng was still acting.
