Chapter 254: Hope You Already Have Kids
"Finally someone is here!" The mysterious person sitting in the chair chuckled.
Lin Tian found a chair and sat across from him, "Looks like you’ve been awake for a while?"
"Can you take this thing off my head? It’s so dark, I can hardly breathe!"
The mysterious person shook his head, referring, of course, to the burlap sack over his head.
"I can, but I hope you’ll honestly answer my questions!" Lin Tian added with a hint of threat.
Removing the burlap sack from the mysterious person’s head, Lin Tian finally saw his true face.
A black hood covered his head, and a particularly grim black-and-white skull mask adorned his face, making him appear ominous and terrifying.
Lin Tian sat across from him and joked, "I’ve got to say, your outfit deserves full marks!"
A strange voice came from beneath the black-and-white skull mask, "Hehe... You didn’t capture me just to compliment my outfit, did you?"
"Of course not!" Lin Tian, seeing the mysterious person get straight to the point, dropped the jokes too, "What’s your name?"
"Qingchuan!" The mysterious person uttered the word.
"Since you’re being direct, I won’t beat around the bush either. Who hired you to kidnap people?" Lin Tian’s deep eyes fixed on the still bright eyes of the other.
Despite the black-and-white skull mask being quite menacing, Lin Tian didn’t pay him any mind as a defeated opponent.
"Nobody hired me. Who would hire me?" The mysterious person spoke so calmly that it made Lin Tian want to slap him.
Another damn liar who doesn’t even prepare a draft for his lies!
"So you’re admitting you wanted to kidnap Bai Shishi?" Lin Tian held back his anger and patiently asked.
But the question mark in his heart grew larger!
"Who is Bai Shishi?" The mysterious person sounded confused.
"Damn!"
Lin Tian cursed in his heart, then began explaining aloud, "She’s the woman you kidnapped, isn’t she?"
"Oh~! Now I remember," the mysterious person realized, "She is Bai Shishi?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Lin Tian felt himself being derailed; he was the one interrogating, but now it almost seemed like he was being interrogated.
"Ssorry~!" A clumsy English word came from Qingchuan’s mouth.
"Don’t push me!" Lin Tian clenched his right fist, and veins bulged on his forehead as he struggled to hold back.
"Push you to what? I’m now tied up by you, so how can I push you?" Qingchuan’s words flowed like an overflowing river.
"If you keep babbling, do you believe I’ll cut off your tongue?" Lin Tian waved a dagger in front of Qingchuan’s eyes.
"Brother, let’s talk this over!" Qingchuan’s eyes beneath the skull mask clearly showed panic.
"I’m asking you again, who is your boss? Or rather, who ordered the kidnapping of Bai Shishi?" Lin Tian played with the dagger in his right hand, staring unblinkingly at the mysterious person.
"Brother, I’m just trying to make a living; I can’t betray my employer!" Qingchuan shook his head, refusing to answer Lin Tian’s command.
"Are you sure you won’t talk?" Lin Tian’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"I won’t!" Qingchuan shook his head.
"Then don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Lin Tian pressed the knife tip against Qingchuan’s abdomen.
"What are you... what are you going to do?" Qingchuan trembled, stammering.
"Take a guess?" Lin Tian held the dagger and moved it downward.
When the knife tip stopped between Qingchuan’s legs, Lin Tian wore a strange smile.
Qingchuan couldn’t care about Lin Tian’s smile now; he just felt an icy chill in his crotch, fearing Lin Tian would make a cut that would ruin his future happiness.
"Brother, let’s talk this over, don’t use the knife!" Qingchuan’s tone softened significantly at this point.
"Answer my question, otherwise, with this cut~!" Lin Tian coldly snorted, "I hope you already have children!"
"I really don’t know who had me kidnap your boss!" Qingchuan dared not mess around anymore and confessed, "I was just following orders from someone who gave me money to do this!"
"Who is he?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "Don’t tell me you don’t know who he is!"
"I don’t actually know his name, but those guys in suits call him Mr. Long!"
Qingchuan paused and said without showing any emotion, "He’s the one who gave me money to watch over that woman, but why she was kidnapped, I really don’t know!"
"Are you sure you didn’t lie?" Lin Tian didn’t quite believe Qingchuan’s words.
"If I’m lying, may I be struck by thunder!" Qingchuan even swore a toxic oath.
Crack! A deafening thunderclap sounded outside.
Qingchuan flinched back, clearly trembling during the thunder.
"Brother, is it really good for you to do this?" Lin Tian wanted to distance himself from Qingchuan; if lightning struck, he didn’t want to get caught in it too.
"What I’m saying is the truth!" Qingchuan said seriously.
Seeing Qingchuan speak like this, Lin Tian furrowed his brows.
Mr. Long? That title suggests the other party might be surnamed Long!
However, the place where Bai Shishi was found was indeed traced from a voice on Bai Jiaming’s phone.
And Lin Tian had always been certain it was Bai Jiaming, but this Mr. Long made things confusing again.
So, it seems the speculation and outcome are completely mismatched?
It shouldn’t be, it should point to Bai Jiaming, right?
Qingchuan’s words completely overturned Lin Tian’s reasoning, as if all the evidence a detective had previously found was now useless, and he had to investigate anew.
"If it isn’t Bai Jiaming, perhaps it is good news for Bai Shishi!" Though Lin Tian felt dejected, he was actually happy for Bai Shishi.
If the true mastermind was Bai Jiaming, would two blood-related people be forced to turn against each other?
"Hey, I’ve said all I can; do as you wish!"
"But before I die, can I ask you a few questions?" Qingchuan raised his head and asked.
"Seeing as your death is near, go ahead," Lin Tian replied.
"If I’m not wrong, you must be Lin Tian, right? I want to know where Wang Quan is?" Qingchuan asked.
"He should be in prison now!" Lin Tian answered.
"I understand now!" With that one sentence, Qingchuan realized everything, "I guess you caught Wang Quan, and then my partner went to kill Wang Quan but ended up dead at your hands?"
"More or less!" Lin Tian didn’t deny it.
"Any more questions?" Lin Tian asked.
Qingchuan shook his head in response.
"Actually, I have a question: how do you and Mr. Long connect each time?" Lin Tian flashed a sly smile at Qingchuan.
If someone hired you to kidnap Bai Shishi, there must have been communication, right?
You’d have to contact each other by phone, right?
"We used the phone, but I don’t know where it is now!" Qingchuan laughed.
"Search him!" Lin Tian signaled to Ruyan.
