Chapter 336 - Confusion
So, this was a win-win situation. If she won, she would reap the benefit and earn some pocket money. If she lost, those people would never be able to find "Jiang Tang" ever again, so she had nothing to lose either.
"5 million is not a small number if the boss finds out..."
"Director Orchid, has your mind dulled after being at the top for too long? The boss only wanted us to finish the a.s.signment, he never said anything about us earning some extra pocket money! Besides, we all know the kind of person the boss is. The things that I have done wouldn"t be able to escape his eyes, so I am still talking to you, it means that the boss approves of what I did."
"You silly girl..."
"Director Orchid, would you be interested to join me next time?"
"No thanks. Eventually, you"ll get yourself into trouble. I plan to live for a few more years, thank you. By the way, you know that Fang Ming, right? What is your plan..."
"Honestly, I can"t really read him. It depends on him what would happen next."
...
Back on the island, due to the case, the shooting had stopped. Fang Ming didn"t expect that his room would be blown into pieces. He looked at his room with twitching eyes as he cursed Jiang Tang internally. "Mr. Fang, your room has exploded due to manipulation by Zhu Wen and Jiang Zhi. All your stuff including your clothes and doc.u.ments have all been ruined."
"Go... go and get the police for me! f.u.c.k... Tell them I will inform them everything I know about Jiang Tang and the organization!" Fang Ming was not expecting this. He was called to join the show but Jiang Tang actually wanted his life?
...
Mo Li and Xiao Rui studied the pair of gla.s.ses Fang Ming had given them. "Impressive. There"s a SIM card and pinhole camera on the gla.s.ses and he managed to avoid body search carrying this. This is very well made."
"Tao Si is very clever as well. She claims that she is threatened by Flower Appraisal and is willing to cooperate with the police fully. However, her testimony is completely useless.
"Based on what Xiao Liu said, Tao Si mumbled something about Qian Yao"s age to Zhu Wen and Jiang Zhi before the latter two lost it. When we asked Tao Si, all she said was that she was merely a messenger. She didn"t expect the reactions from those two people."
They had captured so many people from Flower Appraisal and yet they didn"t even understand the organization a little bit better.
"Boss, Mo Li!" Kang Zhi waved a report. "This is Fang Ming"s testimony. He mentioned a girl by the name of Jiang Tang. Based on the description, she fits the bill of the temp worker who sent the drugs to 22 High School."
"Okay, good work. It"s getting late. We"ll wrap everything up. The reinforcement has arrived. We will return to Pearl River tomorrow."
"Okay, what about Fang Ming?"
"Even though he is connected to Flower Appraisal, we have no direct evidence. Plus he looks like a victim too. We can"t hold him for long. But go and apply for an order to restrict him from leaving the city. Also, send people to watch over him."
"It won"t be possible. He"s a celebrity. How do you expect him to not leave the city?" Mo Li picked up the report. "Plus, this girl probably wanted to test out Fang Ming to see if he can be recruited into the organization. Clearly, he has failed."
"You have a point. Let him go then. But keep watch over him." Xiao Rui continued to investigate Flower Appraisal with Mo Li.
...
At Pearl River, Quan Yu looked at Nie Li darkly, "So you sent her there knowing it would be dangerous?"
"I just suspect she has a connection to that organization."
"Flower Appraisal?" Quan Yu had sent his people to investigate Flower Appraisal. He wanted to know the nature and the purpose of the organization but he got nothing.
Normally such an organization would have a clear goal. However, this was not the case for Flower Appraisal. It was unknown what their goal was.
"Indeed, every time Mo Li has luckily evaded being struck by the organization. It feels like someone is helping her. Perhaps she is the bait the organization has let out to get close to you." Nie Li looked at Quan Yu. She was worried for her nephew. Love could be a very dangerous thing.
Quan Yu was not dumb. He was suspicious of Mo Li"s ident.i.ty before. But he realized that, instead of Mo Li being a part of Flower Appraisal, it was more like someone close to Mo Li was related to Flower Appraisal.
"Plus she doesn"t seem to trust me. I wonder if someone has told her something about me." Nie Li was very sensitive to things like this.. Many times she noticed Mo Li was guarded around her. However, they had not known each other before, so why would Mo Li be so alert around her?
