Listening to the intermittent beeping from the phone’s receiver, Leng Zirui finally sighed in relief.
Xu Xia was set to hold a concert in Hong Kong, and it was at the iconic Hung Hom Sports Center. Such a concert was deeply significant for her, and not being there to cheer her on was a small regret for him; he didn’t want her distracted by his issues.
Though that girl claimed indifferently that he didn’t matter to her, he knew that he held a crucial place in her heart. If she found out he had just survived a gunshot incident, it would certainly affect her mood.
Stuffing the phone into his pocket, Leng Zirui put away his gun and glanced at the knife wound on his arm, the flesh turned inside out. He took a cigarette from the car’s glove compartment, placed it between his lips, and lit it before opening the first-aid kit and casually wrapping the wound in bandages.
After tying a knot with the bandage ends, Leng Zirui raised his blood-stained fingers to hold the cigarette and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke from his lips. He bent down to continue examining the bodies of the three dead men.
Just as he suspected, none of these three carried anything to identify themselves.
Standing up, Leng Zirui casually sat on the side of his crashed car, smoking and deep in thought.
They clearly had a sniper. If they just wanted to take him out from the shadows, their chances would have been much higher. But they didn’t choose that method, which proved their aim wasn’t to kill him.
Why did they want to capture him?
The 5N Key?!
But if they really wanted the 5N Key, they should have gone after his father.
Could it be they knew the key wasn’t with his father?
The night someone went to the Bei Family to steal the key, it was only Shanxia Junzi who succeeded. Only she knew this secret. He caught her on the spot, and from the moment she was admitted to the hospital yesterday, she had been under his tight surveillance. How could she have passed on the information?!
Could there be an insider at the hospital?!
To ensure Shanxia Junzi remained isolated, he’d specifically instructed the guards that even the doctors and nurses must be accompanied when attending to her. How did they manage to bypass that?!
Jumping off the car, he extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray. Leng Zirui took out his phone and dialed the number of the guards upstairs.
