Chapter 55 - The Evil Backstage
Chapter 55 The Evil Backstage Manipulator
“Demon, you’re a demon. Just kill me!”
With the horror all over his face, yellow liquid flowed under Dongfang Liang’s lower body. The smell of urine filled the room immediately.
“That’s it? You wet your pants?”
Suddenly Qin Haodong lost interest in playing. He poked and broke Dongfang Liang’s heart artery, thus ending his life.
As he was leaving, a piece of melodious music rang. He turned back to check, only to see Dongfang Liang’s phone ringing at the corner of the room.
He picked up the phone and checked. The screen said it Employer 108. The idea came cross his mind that this might be a call from the evil backstage manipulator.
Qin Haodong did not hesitate to press the answer button because he thought he might be able to find the guy based on the phone call.
When he was connected, the man at the other side said urgently, “Dongfang Liang, just killed the woman now! The Lin family had already called the police and now the whole Jiangnan City was looking for you. Don’t take the risk.”
It turned out the call was actually from the evil backstage manipulator, Qin Haodong wanted to get more information, but he was afraid to be seen through or suspected.
“OK, I will kill her now.”
Qin Haodong’s voice was almost the same as that of Dongfang Liang. He was the emperor of the Cultivation World, and changing voice was just a piece of cake for him.
“Do what we’ve discussed after killing her, and I will put the rest of the money into your account.”
Qin Haodong regretted that he had killed Dongfang Liang too early. He should’ve asked Dongfang Liang about the follow-up plan.
“Take it easy. I’ll take care of everything well.”
The one on the other side of the phone hanged up immediately after Qin Haodong was done talking. He knew something was different, but he couldn’t figure it out.
In Jiangnan City, a young man in his twenties stood on the deck of a yacht on Qinglong River. He had the newest iPhone in his hand, and his face looked scary because it was too gloomy.
He threw the phone into the river without any hesitation after he made the phone call.
“Son, why did you throw your phone?” At the moment, a middle-aged woman came out of the cabin.
“Our plans are uncovered. Dongfang Liang, the idiot, is dead,” the young man answered in a gloomy face.
“How is it possible? He was the king of mercenaries in Southeast Asia, and weren’t you talking to him on the phone just now?” the middle-aged woman asked.
“The guy was imitating very well, but I could tell he was not Dongfang Liang,” the young man said, “Dongfang Liang was a greedy man. I told him that I’ll pay him 5 million yuan in extra if he killed Lin Momo immediately.”
“Dongfang Liang would add it to 10 or even 20 million, but the guy on the phone answered without hesitation.”
“What’s your point?” Apparently the middle-aged woman was not as wise as the young man, and she was still trying to process.
“That means Dongfang Liang was either arrested or killed, and the man answering the phone was setting me up to get more information so that he could trace me.”
“Son, what should we do then? We’ll be so screwed if the Lin family knew that we hired the assassinators,” the middle-aged woman asked eagerly.
The young people smiled coldly and said, “No worries. I bought the phone card abroad, and there was no personal information on it. I’ve already tossed it in the river, and no one can find me even if they could locate the phone.”
“What about Dongfang Liang? Will he betray you?”
“He will do it as soon as he can, but I’ve already prepared for it. He had no useful information about me, and nobody could get anything useful from him no matter how hard he is tortured.”
“That’s great,” the middle-aged woman patted her chest and said, “What’s next? Are we going to hire another killer?”
“No, we’ve failed too many times. Lin Momo was not injured at all and it has cost us too much, which means this won’t work.”
“We have to come up with a new approach if we want to take in charge of the Lin’s Group.”
“What else can we do?” the woman asked.
“I’ll alter my strategy since this one won’t work. I’ve already had a plan. I’ll take in charge of the Lin’s Groups no matter Lin Momo’s dead or alive,” the young man said ghastly.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Qin Haodong hanged up the phone regretfully. It turned out that now the only way was to ask the police for technical help to figure out the identity of the man on the other side of the phone.
At the moment the sirens went loud outside, several patrol wagons parked before the building. Moments later, Nalan Wuxia went upstairs in a hurry. She glanced at the body of Dongfang Liang, and then asked Qin Haodong, “What is going on?”
Qin Haodong told her about the story, including robbing the Honda to save Lin Momo and the little fellow.
Finally, he said, “They had nine people. Two of them were on the roof of the building at the opposite of the road. I’ve killed them, too.”
He killed nine people in a row. He thought it would be better if he let the police to do the rest of the work.
Nalan Wuxia was slightly surprised. She knew Qin Haodong was tough, but even she could never kill nine experienced mercenaries in such a short period of time and get no injuries at all.
“Well, why are you here so fast?”
Qin Haodong asked doubtfully because he had to apply Blood Tracing to find the place, but Nalan Wuxia made the way here so fast.
“The car you robbed has GPS on it, or how do you think Zhang Dazhi could find you so easily?”
“OK.” Qin Haodong nodded and asked, “Right, do you have any information to find the bald guy? I need to give the car back to him and pay for it. Anyway I am the one who robbed his car. I need to thank him.”
Nalan Wuxia rolled his eyes and said, “You can thank me if you insist, because I’ve already bought the car.”
“You bought it? What did you buy the crappy car for?” Qin Haodong asked with his eyes widely opened.
“You tell me! You’re the one who made the mess! Don’t you really think that I am too rich to buy anything I want?” Nalan Wuxia said discontentedly, “You’re the robber and I am the police, what other choices do I have when I refused to arrest you and let you leave?”
“Well…” Qin Haodong was embarrassed. There was no better choice if he was in Nalan Wuxia’s position. At the same time, he felt warm and thankful for the policewoman because he could’ve dealt with the situation without her help.
“How much was it? I’ll pay you now!”
“Just forget about it, it’s fine. You save me last time, so let’s call it an even,” Nalan Wuxia said like she didn’t care, which was true because she really didn’t care much about the 300,000 yuan.
“Well, guess I owe you one this time.”
Qin Haodong knew that the Nalan family was rich enough, so he accepted it.
Then he added, “I need you to do me another favor.”
“Just tell me what it is!”
Qin Haodong picked up Dongfang Liang’s phone, and then he pointed at the number on it and said, “I pretended to be Dongfang Liang and talked to his employee, but I didn’t get any useful information.”
“Can you use the technical resource to trace the number, and find out who the manipulator is?”
“That’s my job. Just give it to me, and I’ll let you know the result.”
Said Nalan Wuxia as he put the phone in her pocket.
Qin Haodong let the police do the rest of the work and he walked out of the door, taking Lin Momo and the little fellow away from here.
In the Lin’s Villa, Lin Zhiyuan pacing around like an ant on a hot pan. He was worried about the sudden disappearance of his daughter and granddaughter. Though he had called the police, he still felt restless.
“Grandpa, I’m back!”
The little girl cried and jumped to Lin Zhiyuan.
“Tang Tang, you scared me so bad.” Lin Zhiyuan held the little fellow tightly in his arms.
The little fellow said, “Grandpa, that guy was so bad. It’s papa that saved me and mommy.”
Lin Zhiyuan looked at Lin Momo who had barely entered the house when he heard that, and then he asked, “What happened?”
“Tang Tang and I were kidnapped. Dongfang Liang was a killer sent by the opponent…”
Lin Momo told the whole story about how Dongfang Liang had kidnapped her and Tang Tang.
When he heard that Qin Haodong fought with his life to save his daughter again, Lin Zhiyuan said with gratitude, “Doctor Qin, the Lin family owe you too much!”
“Mr. Lin, that’s no big deal.” Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “I am the one to blame for having been too careless, or Dongfang Liang wouldn’t have the chance.”
“Sigh… It was all my fault. My eyes are old and dim. I introduced the wolf in my family and I thought he was a high-price bodyguard. I didn’t expect him to be a killer!”
Lin Zhiyuan looked like he blamed himself much, and he was so angry when he mentioned Dongfang Liang’s name.
He swore as he thought of the manipulator hidden behind. “Who the hell was that to go after Momo again and again? I’ll chop him into pieces if I know who he is!”
Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry Mr. Lin. I’ll find him soon.”
Lin Zhiyuan sighed and said, “The man’s out there for one more day, and Momo will be endangered more. It’s so hard to find a reliable and powerful bodyguard.”
Qin Haodong shared Lin Zhiyuan’s feelings. Rich men were always surrounded by bodyguards, but their only use was to scare the ordinary. Few of these bodyguards could survive when facing a real killer.
“Mr. Lin, you don’t need to worry too much about the bodyguards. I’ll do it for you, and I’ll find some strong and reliable bodyguards for Momo by tomorrow evening!”
Lin Momo asked, “Really, Haodong?”
Even the Lin’s Group, with all its financial power and connection in Jiangnan City, failed to find a satisfying bodyguard. Lin Momo could never imagine how a senior student like Qin Haodong could find a bodyguard for him.
“I was going to give you a surprise, but I guess it won’t work.” Qin Haodong told her about how he talked in the Divine Mercenaries and established the security company in detail.
At last, he added, “I’ll make some healing medicines tomorrow. Soon Saber and other people from the Divine Mercenaries can serve their duty, which won’t be long.”
Lin Momo understood it immediately after Qin Haodong finished talking. She knew he established the company for her, so she was deeply moved and said, “Haodong, thanks!”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “You’re welcome. I said no one can hurt you and our little girl as long as I am with you. I have to honor my words because I am a real man!”
