Chapter 746: The Traitor

***************

CHAPTER 746

Both men gradually got on their knees, lifting their hands in the air in surrender.

“Now, I would not ask again, tell me, who sent you?” the second man requested.

“Is there any point in telling you that now?” The first enquired. “After all, we are nothing but pawns in the hands of the one who sent us. Do as you wish.”

“You think I won’t?” A soft chuckle fell off his lips as he turned his gaze to Li Jing, who seemed frightened by the ordeal before her.

“Scoot away.” She nodded, shifting her body further than she had first done when their fight began.

.....

At this point, Li Jing could be bothered by her discomfort anymore.

All that mattered to her at this point was for no one to shoot or kill themselves so as not to cause a shooting spree and she is caught in the crossfire if the others ever have a hidden gun.

Speaking of a hidden gun, her eyes flew wide open when she realized that the second guy had become oblivious to see if they had any on them.

‘Stupid.’ Li Jing thought as she squinted her eyes, searching frantically around their bodies up to where her gaze could reach, hoping to see if she could spot out something mischievous.

“I said answer me!” The second guy hollered at them, causing her to flinch instantly.

“Go fuck yourself,” the third man spat out rudely.

He was least worried buy anything and that action had bothered Li Jing who was hoping to find something suspicious.

At least right now the one with the gun was the lesser evil and the other two, were the devil themselves.

Helping him out would mean, safeguarding her life till Ye Cheng or someone shows up to help.

The second guy corked the gun to everyone’s dismay and before either of the two guys kneeling could speak, he shot the gun into the wall at his side, proving to them he was not joking.

“The next bullet would be flying straight for one of your heads. Now which one of you, would it be?”

While they drove to their various destination, Fong Wei Ling got a call from one of his men that had taken the trip to the wrong coordinates.

“Report,” Fong Wei Lings deep but extremely calm voice resounded.

“We have arrived and the place is empty. There are no signs of any suspicious activity.”

‘Have you asked around?”

“Yes sir. No one has seen anything like that nor the car in which she was kidnapped in.”

“I see. Good job, but keep an eye out. We would go full guard on ours.”

“Yes, boss.”

Fong Wei Ling ended the call, placing his phone in his suit pocket.

“Boss,” the driver called out to him.

“Yes?”

“Should we perhaps inform the cops about it now, just in case?”

“No. Since when did we start bothering with cops?”

“I am just saying since this involves Mr Ye’s wife. If things get bad before our arrival, it would be better to state that the cops had been called.”

“Fine. I would infirm Ye Cheng about alerting the cops to our position just to be on the safe side.”

“Yes sir.”

Fong Wei Ling wasted no time in informing Ye Cheng about the recent event going on as well as the issue of the cops.

He did not see it as a bad idea and gave his consent. Right now nothing mattered more than his wife.

Before long, they got close to the street leading to their said destination when they heard the sound of a gunshot.

Both Ye Cheng’s eyes and Ren’s own flew wide open at the realization that first the place was correct but now they could only hope it had nothing to do with Li Jing.

“Step on it, hurry there this instant,” Ye Cheng ordered the driver without a second thought.

****

Meanwhile, Li Jing felt her heart fly into her chest listening to the sound of that gunshot but happy no phone fell down after it.

All of this had taken a huge toll on her and she could not help but wish for its end when suddenly they heard hurried footsteps racing in their direction and soon enough the door flew wide open.

Bang!

At that point in time, she could not help but compare the loud sound of the door to the gunshot. It paled in comparison. Not that it mattered, but the look of shock on the duo’s faces that rushed in, told a different tale.

“Sojin?!” The fourth guy hollered, completely taken aback by the sight in front of him.

“What did they do? Hey put the gun down, please just do not shoot.”

“Guys, tell me,” the second guy, Sojin spoke up after some seconds flew by. “Who is your master?”

“The same person who paid you and me, of course. Let them go, please before things get out of hand.”

“I can’t,” Sojin responded to the fifth guy, taking calculative steps to the side, where he could see all of them and still have his gun pointed at the two men.

“No. Do not tell me you and Dijun are working together to kill the young miss,” the fifth enquired.

More than the shock on his face, the realization that Sojin their friend was one of the bad guys made their heart waver and his iris shake.

“Please. Do not kill anyone. I beg you. This was not part of the plan,” the fifth pleaded again.

“Yeah, I know, Bolin. I know. But these two nuisances here are the ones working with Dijun. You can ask the young miss over there. They hit her and tried to kill me too.”

“What!”

“Yeah. I need them to tell me who they are working with or else, I would really shoot.”

“Hey, hey, hey,” Bolin cautiously called out as she took some steps into the room. “Is that true?” His gaze wandered from Sojin to the two men kneeling as he hoped for a favourable answer.

“Hmm, what do you think? Who out of us three is with a gun and making us kneel?”

“Simple,” the fifth guy called out and fixed his gaze back on Sojin. “You... You are the traitor.”
