MTLNOVEL Chapter 43
“My name was Gu Letian.”
Liu Jin’an said without thinking.
“Gu Letian?”
The simple words, said by Zhao Simo, immediately became ambiguous.
He couldn’t even imagine how terrifying it would be when this pervert read his name.
To the extent that he would feel that the the words “Liu Jin’an” were dirty.
Liu Jin’an silently praised his wit and went straight to the point. “Mr. Zhao, I couldn’t control the other hostages, but a few of my friends had to escape safely.”
Zhao Simo seemed unaware and said to himself, “Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Tiantian, how about I call you Xiao Tiantian?”
Hey, Liu Jin’an almost vomited up the last night’s meal.
“That’s not right. How did I hear that the man who rescued Officer Zheng and destroyed the Falcon Group was named Liu Jin’an?” Zhao Simo held his chin with one hand, a confused look on his face, but there was undisguised joking in his eyes.
Exposed.
Liu Jin’an thought of the description of Zhao Simo in the novel.
[He was so smart that he was almost demonic, and he was charming and captivating. Almost no one could resist his charm, but at the same time, no one deserved to be in his heart.]
[He seemed to be playing a game in the human world. He dared to bet his life. He was a complete gambler.]
If Duan Haiping was a cruel and bloodthirsty villain, then Zhao Simo was an unruly speculator. What he was best at was using small and big things to turn defeat into victory.
It was hard to deceive such a person, and even harder to play tricks on him.
Liu Jin’an really lacked the experience of fighting with such people.
After thinking for a moment, he simply stopped trying. “If you can help me rescue them, you can do whatever you want.”
People said that sincerity was a surefire skill.
To deal with such an old fox, any tricks were just tricks, so it was better to put the word “profit” in front of him calmly.
“Xiao Tiantian, you really surprised me.”
With his fox eyes slightly raised, Zhao Simo made no secret of his interest in the boy. That kind of interest had nothing to do with gender, just like a hunter eyeing his prey.
Liu Jin’an didn’t like Zhao Simo’s eyes.
They were too sticky, too strong, too penetrating.
Like tarsal maggots, the sight of them could send chills down one’s spine.
But now he had something to ask for and had to bear it.
After a long time, when Liu Jin’an thought that cooperation was hopeless, Zhao Simo finally said lazily, “I promise you, Xiao Tiantian, how could I bear to refuse your request?”
Just as Liu Jin’an was about to say thank you, he heard the other party continue, “However, after the matter is completed, you have to do me a favour.”
“You help me, I’ll help you, it’s an equal exchange, it’s very reasonable.”
“It’s reasonable,” Liu Jin’an took a deep breath, “What do you want me to help you with?”
“Help me rescue all the hostages here.” Zhao Simo said with a half-smile.
Liu Jin’an: “…”
Damn it, this old fox still managed to get him in.
Only now did he realize that Zhao Simo was about to save someone, but he happened to bump into him and was immediately pulled onto the pirate ship.
It couldn’t be called a pirate ship. After all, everyone had the same goal, which was to save people.
Although he still didn’t know what role this person played in the drug lord team, he could guess a little bit about his future achievements in the novel.
Undercover.
An undercover agent was working in a one-stop fraud, drug trafficking, and smuggling team in northern Myanmar.
“Xiao Tiantian, your expression just now was so cute.”
Zhao Simo narrowed his fox eyes and smiled. “Just kidding, even if you didn’t help me, I would help you.”
Liu Jin’an couldn’t believe it at all. “You have such good intentions?”
“I owe you a favour,” Zhao Simo restrained himself a little and said seriously. “Actually, those poachers went to Hulu Mountain because I sold them false news.”
“I lied to them that there were wild animals they wanted in Hulu Mountain. I originally wanted to cooperate with the police and catch them in one fell swoop, but I didn’t expect that innocent people would be implicated.”
“I see.”
When he thought of Zhou Yuan’s death, Liu Jin’an was furious. “Do you know that just because of your lie, Boss Zhou was killed by poachers?”
“In your eyes, completing the mission was more important than human life?”
Zhao Simo didn’t argue.
It wasn’t until Liu Jin’an finished speaking that he whispered, “Liu Jin’an, what would you have done if you were me?”
What would he have done in his place?
This question made Liu Jin’an’s head tremble.
Zhou Yuan had been his friend, so he would have angrily scolded Zhao Simo for Zhou Yuan’s death.
But thinking from his perspective, Zhao Simo had designed a trap for the poachers to get inside.
It was impossible for him to imagine that poachers would dare to kill people in front of the police, let alone what would happen next.
In addition to Zhou Yuan, another policeman had died in the battle with Shi Yuning and others, and even Zheng Chunhua had broken an arm.
These were uncontrollable accidents.
Should he want Zhao Simo to pay for such an accident?
“I don’t know…” Liu Jin’an murmured.
Zhao Simo wasn’t wrong in this matter. He had just provided false information to create opportunities for the police to make arrests.
Zhao Simo sighed with a lingering look. “Xiao Tiantian, don’t treat me so harshly. It’s only a god who can do everything.”
Liu Jin’an felt his face flush. “I’m sorry.”
No, that wasn’t right.
Why should he apologize?
To take a step back, even if Zhao Simo wasn’t wrong, it was a fact that Zhou Yuan had died, and it was also a fact that he had been targeted by Shi Yuning’s Falcon Group.
He shouldn’t be the one to apologize!
Liu Jin’an reacted and glared angrily. “Zhao Simo, you’re playing tricks on me again!”
“Hahaha!”
Zhao Simo laughed so hard that he was out of breath and finally recovered. “You’re so cute, Xiao Tiantian. Why don’t you follow me? We’d definitely be happy every day together.”
“Crazy.”
Liu Jin’an cursed and turned to leave.
Zhao Simo quickly stopped him. “Okay, okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll take you to meet your friends now. I think I’ve failed.”
Liu Jin’an stopped.
“A batch of supplies will be delivered in the evening. When the time comes, you’ll hide in the empty boxes, and I’ll arrange for someone to send you out.”
The old fox talked sweet words but couldn’t be trusted.
Zhao Simo added, “If you miss this opportunity, it’s hard to say when the next time will be. Once the two sides start a war, hostage casualties are inevitable, and I don’t want Boss Zhou’s tragedy to happen again.”
Liu Jin’an: “…”
He turned around and, without saying a word, activated his second-level power.
A punch struck Zhao Simo’s lower abdomen.
“Ugh!”
The punch was so fast and hard that Zhao Simo had no time to dodge.
Severe pain hit him. He spat out the blood in his mouth and half-knelt down, holding his stomach in pain.
After a while, he got up, wiped away the blood on his lips and the sweat on his forehead.
“Have you calmed down now?” Zhao Simo asked weakly.
“This punch was for Boss Zhou.”
“You help me get the people out, and I’ll help you rescue the hostages,” he snorted. “I don’t owe you any favours.”
