“You want to switch your flat? Why? Do you think those commoners aren’t good enough to live with you?” Du Yuanxing looked at them and asked coldly.
“I just don’t want to live together with Chen Hao!” Lu Tong said as he turned down the corners of his mouth.
“Chen Hao? Oh, he’s another level-three superpowered man among you. Aren’t you guys together? I thought you were worrying about those commoners. After all, you guys never get along with them,” Du Yuanxing said with curiosity.
“There is a personal issue between him and me. He wants me dead more than w.a.n.g Jian and his people do,” Lu Tong dropped his eyes slightly. A fierce look was detected from those eyes.
“Alright, let’s not talk about the others first. Let’s talk about you. Some said that you talked with a few people when you got here, and soon left. After that, Deputy Chief Lin’s daughter and a very young kid went missing. We suspect you for kidnapping them,” Du Yuanxing let it out straightforwardly.
Lu Tong paused briefly, then suddenly widened his eyes and said with surprise, “Why would I kidnap them? There is no issue between Deputy Chief Lin and me. Why would I kidnap their kids? Besides, I came here alone today, not with anyone else. I didn’t talk to anyone either!”
The others in the cla.s.sroom observed his expression and the look in his eyes. His expressions looked natural, not fake at all.
“Yeah? I guess someone set you up then,” Du Yuanxing looked at him blandly. Sitting on the chair, he continued, “It’s okay. We’ll know the truth when we find the kids.”
Soon, a soldier came over and reported to Du Yuanxing, “We found the kids!”
The composed look on Du Yuanxing’s face was suddenly gone when he heard that. He sprung up from the chair and asked nervously, “How are they? Are they okay?”
The soldier shook his head and said, “They’re fine. The kidnappers have been captured.”
“Who are they?” Lu Tong and Du Yuanxing asked in one voice.
Hearing Lu Tong’s voice, Du Yuanxing turned to look at him and found him wearing a confused and angry look.
Since he was brought here to answer questions, Lu Tong was aware that he was framed. He had a name in his mind, but he wouldn’t say it out loud before he had any solid evidence. Now, as the soldier said that the kids were found and the kidnappers were captured, he immediately wanted to know if it was Chen Hao who did it.
The soldier said, “The kidnappers are in custody. We haven’t found the man who is behind this yet. Lu Tong has nothing to do with this indeed.”
While speaking, he glanced at Lu Tong who had already stood up, meaning that he was free to go. However, Lu Tong didn’t leave. Instead of that, he rushed up to the soldier and asked, “Is it Chen Hao?”
The soldier glanced at him and stayed silent.
Du Yuanxing said to Lu Tong, “Alright! Since you have nothing to do with this, you can go now.” While speaking, he looked at the two soldiers behind him.
Receiving Du Yuanxing’s eye signal, the two soldiers instantly escorted Lu Tong outside. “Let’s go.”
As Lu Tong left, Du Yuanxing immediately erased the serious look on his face and asked the soldier with great curiosity, “Who found the kids? So soon! Who’s behind all this?”
“Chief found them. Chief said that it was the level-three guy named Chen Hao who planned this. Chief has sent Captain Duan after him! Lu Tong guessed right. Chen Hao wanted him dead, but didn’t dare to do it himself. That’s why he attempted to use Deputy Chief Lin’s daughter, ” the soldier told Du Tianxing about the truth after Lu Tong had left.
“Where are those kidnappers?” Du Yuanxing asked while walking out of the cla.s.sroom.
“In the interrogation room.”
On the other side, Chen Hao was sitting in the living room in his flat, waiting for some people to show up and ask him questions.
He saw a group of soldiers bring Lu Tong away. Lu Tong would certainly suspect him and tell the base leaders his name. After that, the soldiers would come here to bring him to the interrogation. By then, he would pretend to know nothing about it. There was no solid evidence against him, and the base leader couldn’t make a judgement based merely on Lu Tong’s words. When the girl’s dead body was found, Lin Feng might be able to stay calm, but Cheng w.a.n.gxue might not!
Cheng w.a.n.gxue was such a short-tempered person. She would never be able to calm down before she killed Lu Tong.
He spent quite a while waiting. To his surprise, instead of some soldiers or base leaders, Lu Tong came back, and was perfectly unharmed at that.
Chen Hao paused briefly, but soon gave a natural smile and said, “Hei, where have you been? I heard that you were brought away by some soldiers.”
Lu Tong wasn’t expecting to see the man that he had suspected at home. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled a long, cold face. Without saying anything, he went straight back to his room and closed the door.
He couldn’t switch his flat. So, with no other choice, he paid some price and switched rooms with another man. At least, he didn’t need to live in the same room with Chen Hao.
He went into his room and closed the door, then put his ears against his door to listen to the sounds from the living room.
‘B*stard! You are still sitting here as if nothing has happened. Do you think that they don’t know what you have done? Hehe, you better sit here until they come. I guess you don’t know that they’ve found out the truth already. Those kids are fine, but you won’t be!’ Lu Tong sneered and thought.
Chen Hao was feeling surprised, as he wasn’t expecting to see Lu Tong come back. As the latter went into his room, he immediately knitted his brows. He didn’t think that his men would fail the mission. Instead, he thought that Lu Tong might have said something to the base leaders that made them let him go.
Perhaps, Lin Feng wasn’t in the base, so Yuan Tianxing didn’t really care about the kidnapping.
While he was wondering about the reason, a knock was heard on the door.
With surprise, he turned to glance at the door but didn’t answer it immediately. Then, the door was knocked on again.
Only after that did he stand up and hesitated briefly, then opened the door.
Six people were standing outside. The one in the front was a woman, average-looking, about five feet and eight inches tall, and with a long ponytail. Behind her were four men and a woman, all in military suits and with guns.
The woman in the front looked at Chen Hao expressionlessly and said, “You Are Chen Hao, right? Come with us!”
Chen Hao looked at her confusedly and asked, “Who are you people?”
Then, he suddenly thought of something. While blinking, he took a slight step backward and said, “I’m not Chen Hao. Chen Hao isn’t home. Come tomorrow if you want to see him.”
While speaking, he attempted to shut the door, but the woman reached out an arm and stopped him. Chen Hao didn’t say anything else, but abruptly turned around and rushed toward the window of the living room.
Clearly, he planned to jump out of the window and then run away.
At that point, Lu Tong rushed out of his room as he pointed at Chen Hao and shouted, “He is Chen Hao! Don’t let him run!”
