Fish swimming around the world

Chapter 48 Ding Shaoan’s Questions

Wang Chengxiu asked: "How was the investigation of the thief?"

Even though Manager Wang was puzzled, he did not dare to continue asking, so he said: "There were four thieves who sneaked in from the front building and the backyard respectively. They were very skilled. One of them was killed on the spot, and the other was seriously injured and committed suicide by poisoning. There are still two people who are being hunted. , I hope they can’t escape from Paradise City.”

"Possible identification?"

Manager Wang shook his head: "I haven't found out that the person who came here has nothing but black clothes and a short knife. The short knife is just a commodity that can be seen everywhere."

"Interesting, this kind of thing hasn't happened in Paradise City for many years..."

Manager Wang said: "My subordinates suspect that it is related to Mr. Jiang. This happened as soon as he entered the building. There must be something to do with it."

Wang Chengxiu nodded: "You don't need to ask more about this. Once you get the person, everything will be handled by the city guards."

"yes."

Jiang Fan slept soundly, seemingly not caring about the commotion surrounding him all night long.

The next day, he was woken up by Ding Shaoan.

"A total of four people were hanged on the south city tower and their bodies were exposed. They died in extremely miserable conditions. It is said that the city guards caught two alive, but they didn't even ask, they put chains around their necks and hung them to the city tower..."

Ding Shaoan said with lingering fear, and Jiang Fan felt equally chilled. The City of Paradise was so ruthless in its attack.

"This is a warning..." Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed.

"These four people are obviously targeting us, but no one has come to ask us about it even after three hours of sunrise."

Ding Shaoan felt it was unusual.

"They don't care at all. Paradise City only cares about its own rules, and those who break them will die. This move is for everyone to see. In this way, I am afraid no one will dare to ignore the rules."

"...What should we do next?"

Ding Shaoan was really uneasy. He had been in the world for many years, and he had never felt so unsure. He had no idea what he was involved in. Apart from anything else, the four last night were said to be top-notch masters, and they were simply gone. To say it's not scary would be an absolute lie.

"Where are Boss Xiong and the others?" Jiang Fan sat up and asked after pondering.

"I was about to tell you that Boss Xiong and the others were arranged in the inn across the street according to your instructions. Boss Xiong was behind us before and was attacked before entering the city. All four of them were injured to varying degrees. Xiong Four and Xiong Five were the most seriously injured. It’s so heavy that it may take ten or eight days to regain my ability to move.”

"What?" Jiang Fan was surprised: "Who did it?"

Ding Shaoan shook his head: "I don't know. Boss Xiong said that there were more than fifty people who took action. They were all capable. They seemed to have received strict training and cooperated with each other very well. They may be members of the military."

"More than fifty people? Boss Xiong and the others were able to escape?"

Ding Shaoan said: "No, according to Boss Ding, the other party seemed to be trying to take someone alive, so they were able to hold on for a while. But in the end they were rescued. Boss Xiong said that a thin masked man came, who looked like he might be an old man. , as soon as the man raised his hand, more than ten people fell down, and he didn't even see what was going on. The others immediately retreated with the fallen people when they saw it, and the man didn't stop, let alone talk to the boss and the others. Jiang Fan...is he your back-up?"

Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't comment and was just lost in thought, Ding Shaoan's forehead throbbed with veins, but he endured it. Seeing Jiang Fan's expression became a little complicated: "Jiang Fan... Now that things have come to this, I beg you, please tell us what kind of whirlpool we are involved in? We are just ordinary people in the world, and we really can't bear this kind of battle." Come on, I’m not afraid of death when I’m wandering around in the world, but I just don’t want to die for some reason…”

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and said seriously: "Brother Shaoan, you may have misunderstood me. I really don't know what's going on."

Anger appeared in Ding Shaoan's brows: "Jiang Fan! You still haven't been honest with us until now? We must all die inexplicably!"

Jiang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Shao'an, let me tell you the truth, I am a fisherman on the Qingfeng Gorge of the Canglan River. That day, a group of river bandits came to my house and wanted to kill us all for some reason. They were so anxious. Next, I killed them, and then they kept chasing me. My wife and I escaped by boat and met you. You know what happened next, so if you ask me now, I am also confused. "

Ding Shaoan was suspicious: "Eighteen gangsters, you will kill them if you want? I am very sure that you have never practiced martial arts. Even if you use poison, don't they have any vigilance at all?"

Jiang Fan sighed: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I won't tell you how to do it. But I once said that if your life is really in danger, you can leave on your own. Brother Shaoan can discuss it with Boss Xiong. If you don't want to If you want to continue this business, just go, you can go to Qingyun Mountain or Linjiang Pavilion to get the money, it will be yours."

Ding Shaoan looked at him and suddenly sneered: "Leave? It's easy for you to say. Now that we have been involved in the whirlpool, even if we want to escape, those people will never let us insiders go. Although I, Ding Shaoan, am young, I am not stupid. You The pirate ship is so big that we can’t even get off it!”

Jiang Fan said: "I didn't know at first, but now... Actually you are right, but there may be a glimmer of hope if you leave. It will probably be safer than continuing to follow me..."

Ding Shaoan said angrily: "Fart! Are we going alone? Just a few of us will be killed in the blink of an eye!"

He took a breath and said: "At least there is hope for following you. Don't fool me. Along the way, there are always inexplicable masters around you secretly assisting you. Otherwise, how could we have gotten here? We would have been dead in the river long ago. "

"Look, you also understand that from now on, we have to explore and figure out a way along the way."

Ding Shaoan took a few deep breaths and stared at him fiercely: "Last question, who is Bai Xiaocui?"

Jiang Fan didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and Ding Shaoan's alertness was also unusual. Unfortunately, it was another question that he couldn't answer. He could only shake his head apologetically again: "This... I still don't know..."

"I don't know? Why are you telling me that you don't know again? Bai Xiaocui's origin is not simple. Are those people targeting you or Bai Xiaocui? If they are targeting her, do you know nothing and will protect her all the way? Do you really think that we are all the same? Fool?"

Listening to his angry roar, Jiang Fan smiled bitterly and picked his ears: "Okay, keep your voice down. I really don't know. Anyway, if we get into trouble with her, we can only run away together. Let's talk about other things later. I don’t want to meet Xiong Da and the others for the time being. You can take care of them for me.”

After speaking, he took out a few pieces of exquisite jewelry from under the pillow: "I won this from drinking last night. It seems to be quite valuable. It will be enough for you to spend some time to hire the best doctor to treat them."

Ding Shaoan looked at him coldly for a while, grabbed the jewelry, and left the room without saying a word.
