366: 366 366: 366 “Brother Tian, do you believe He Biandan would kill soone?”
Ye Tian frowned, “What do you know?”
“Five million!
Zheng Ergou, no, Zheng Dazhi’s house is hiding five million!”
Having five million in a small police officer’s house is already unbelievable, but looking at Chuanzi’s expression, it seed that the focus was not even on the five million.
“Just speak your mind.
I’ve only just gotten wind of so things myself, He Ku and I have been on the run recently, only ca back today.
Tell everything you know, otherwise, I can’t help you.”
Chuanzi swallowed, “Would you really help ?”
“Do you have any other choice even if you don’t trust ?”
Chuanzi hesitated and sighed.
Ye Tian was right; he ca back because he could no longer bear the pressure this package brought him.
He needed to find soone who could handle this content.
Duan Liu was an option, but he knew his master’s temper all too well.
He had not refrained from abandoning his allies to save himself, and he had done it more than once.
Although they were master and apprentice, he couldn’t be sure of an overt relationship; “A wise man does not stand under a wall that is about to collapse,” Duan Liu fully embodied the anings of these ancestral words; although a thief, if investigated, this guy’s background is cleaner than a blank sheet of paper.
Chuanzi also thought of others, like the brothers he mixed with, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he imdiately dismissed it.
He knew exactly what kind of people they were, it would be good enough if they didn’t wet their pants on the spot, let alone expect them to co up with ideas to help him.
After thinking it over, Chuanzi still ended up thinking of Ye Tian who lived under the sa roof.
He had witnessed Ye Tian’s ferocity in the Zheng family’s yard, single-handedly taking on dozens of their n, fiercely battling the death-defying Zheng brothers and their even more reckless old man.
He had also seen his sagacity and intelligence.
Although a thief, his ability to judge people and his sixth sense were far above ordinary people.
He vaguely felt that Ye Tian was no ordinary man.
Besides, how could a man who mingles in a mixed courtyard wear a white shirt inside, that shirt he had seen before, once when he stole from a rich second-generation driving a Porsche, he rembered the gold pin on the collar.
A desperate choice, a solution when there’s no other way.
In that little house, he had gambled that what was underneath was more valuable than what was above, but he also lost; this ti, he still had to gamble, betting on whether Ye Tian was soone who could handle and digest the contents of the bag.
“I have no choice.
I trust you.”
After extre ntal struggle, Chuanzi made his decision.
Hearing his words, Ye Tian took the package wrapped in a black plastic bag from the table, opened it, and inside was wrapped in a white plastic bag, he opened it further, still a plastic film.
“What in the world is this, you might as well put a security lock on it.”
“These were pried out from a small safe.
That’s why it’s wrapped in so many layers.”
“Humph, definitely not sothing valuable.”
Ye Tian had unwrapped the last layer.
“Whether it’s valuable or not, I can’t say.
Just look at it and you’ll know.
This can cost as many lives as it can money.”
Ye Tian looked at him suspiciously, Chuanzi seed to breathe a sigh of relief leaning on the chair back,
“Air Force base planning outline…Three Gorges conservation asures are on the agenda…investnt in the Grand Prospect…” one conceptual thing after another caught his eye, it was baffling, without certain intellect and education one might not understand it, but on these A4 papers, two large red characters were written with a colored pen, “Top Secret!”
These are…national secrets!
No, national secrets would not be leaked out, and the Three Gorges project was completed long ago, it’s not news by now, such so-called “top-secret” docunts are basically just scrap paper.
Seeing Ye Tian’s confusion, Chuanzi leaned on the chair back, his eyelids flicked, and he said, “There’s a USB inside.
I checked it in an internet café, but it’s encrypted; we need to find soone who understands computers to handle it.”
Ye Tian nodded; now these things, although not fully understood, are already in his hands, probably without issue.
“Set these things aside for now, tell everything you know.
All the causes and consequences, I want to know it all.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you.
Been holding it in for over a month, finally found soone to talk to.”
Ye Tian brought a chair over and sat down to listen to him speak.
In the half-hour that followed, as the two conversed, Chuanzi would sotis narrate for ten minutes, and sotis, Ye Tian would chi in a few words.
Soon, all mysteries seed to have been unraveled.
Hiring killers, framing, setting traps.
In the end, silencing by murder, once and for all.
High risk, high reward.
But at the sa ti, it was also the least risky option.
Because Zheng Dazhi was a policeman, not using ready resources would an he wasted his role as a cop.
Ye Tian finally realized why Zheng Dazhi was seeking He Ku.
He Biandan is an honest man, easy to intimidate, but also very stubborn.
He Biandan also has another identity; he is a graduate from Beihua University, intellectuals have their pride, how could he admit to killing soone.
Perhaps, this was what Zheng Dazhi did not anticipate from the start; otherwise, he wouldn’t wait until now to start seeking He Ku.
Everything was clear now, that made things easier.
“Do you have any solutions?” asked Chuanzi.
“What kind of solution are you referring to?”
“A way for to stay alive.” Chuanzi said with a serious face.
Ye Tian looked at his solemn face, his eyes playful, “Just that?
There’s more isn’t there?”
Just to stay alive, you wouldn’t have co back at all, why take all this trouble?
“I want money!
Five million!” Chuanzi was sowhat emotional, his throat moving up and down, his desire for money intensified after hovering over the line between life and death, his demand after facing such threats was monetary compensation.
Candidly spoken.
Ye Tian sighed in relief, being able to speak frankly was a good sign.
Also, this request was within Ye Tian’s tolerance; just money was easy to handle, if he had demanded soone’s life, then things would be too complicated, the people involved in these docunts were high-profile national figures, no one would want to take that responsibility.
Anyway, Ye Tian didn’t want to.
