Chapter 1397: Don’t Go Out
The informant’s death made everyone tense.
Zhou Junmin was missing, and the informant had died. Even though Brother Ding had been arrested and brought to justice, he was still unwilling to give up any useful clues or information for the operation.
Ah Zhu and Brother Jing were lying in ambush beside Lu Xingzhi. He had been so busy in the past few days that he did not even have the time to show up at Jiang Yao’s hotel. Jiang Yao had been unable to leave the hotel for several days. She was starting to lose her patience.
“Lady Lu, although Zhou Junmin is the only one who has a problem, I still feel that something isn’t right about this matter.”
Over the phone, Captain Hao did not call Jiang Yao’s name but instead called her by her code name. “Unfortunately, Brother Jing is even more slippery than Brother Ding. Until now, we haven’t been able to get any more useful information about Brother Jing. Brother Ding’s mouth is even harder to pry open.”
Jiang Yao said, “Let Ding Xiaomei go. Let her bring her child to see Brother Ding, or secretly take him to his hometown and let his family persuade him. Although Brother Ding is selfish, he has a weakness. He still cares about his family. Maybe they can persuade Brother Ding.”
Apart from Ding Xiaomei, Jiang Yao could not think of a more suitable person to do that. Based on Brother Ding’s pampering of Ding Xiaomei in the Ding residence, he must have a sense of responsibility and love for his daughter. Ding Xiaomei has been very useful. As long as they asked Ding Xiaomei to persuade him, Brother Ding might cooperate with them.
If they wanted to force Brother Ding, it would be absolutely useless.
“Yes, we are thinking of a way to get Ding Xiaomei out of the Ding residence,” Captain Hao said. “However, Ding Xiaomei is now like you, which means that she is basically trapped in Shu City and is not easy to receive guests.”
“Then, let’s get Ding Xiaomei’s son and grandmother in their hometown, or Ding Xiaomei’s elder brother. Tell them about Ding Xiaomei’s situation and let them cooperate with us to persuade him. The Ding family hasn’t looked for Brother Ding for so many years, even if they are so poor that they don’t even have money to pay for their child’s treatment. Looking at Ding Xiaomei’s character, they must be equally strong-willed and law-abiding people.”
As Jiang Yao was speaking, she heard a commotion from outside the door.
She looked outside and saw Wen Yunfang leading more than a dozen people toward her room in an aggressive manner.
Not long after that, those people reached her room and started kicking her door. They shouted, asking her to open the door.
The noise outside was so loud that even Captain Hao, who was on the phone, heard it. “Lady Lu, what’s the situation?”
“Wen Yunfang and her people are trying to break into my room. They might be planning to capture me and threaten Xingzhi to cooperate with them.” Lu Xingzhi had already told Jiang Yao why Wen Yunfang and her mother did not expose his identity. Therefore, it was not surprising to see Wen Yunfang and her people there to capture Jiang Yao.
“Captain Hao, I’ll deal with this first.” After saying that, Jiang Yao quickly hung up the phone and deleted the call records. Then, she called Ah Zhu.
Ah Zhu was probably busy. The phone rang for a long time before he picked it up. Before Jiang Yao could speak, he heard Ah Zhu quickly say, “Sister, don’t worry. If you’re afraid, you should hide. I’m rushing there with my people. The men I left in the hotel have already gone upstairs. They will bring those people to me. Stay in the room and don’t go out.”
