Chapter 701: Gun

Gao Ming’s ears perked up at the mention of Hei Ao’s name. He hid the camera underneath his carpet and slowly backed away.

“My little brother cannot stand it anymore! He’ll lose his mind once night falls. If I lower the dosage, he’ll dig out his darkened heart!”

“What does that have to do with me? You and your brother chose this path. If not for the fact that you are still useful, I would have sent you directly to the slaughterhouse.” Hei Ao’s voice was thick with malice. “Let go! Who do you think you are?”

“Give me the drugs or I’ll tell your boss about us!” The woman’s voice became deranged.

“Go ahead! See if that gets you anywhere!” Hei Ao grabbed the woman by her neck and pinned her to the wall. Her bath towel fell. His eyes reddened, and the voice in his heart became louder. Black lines crawled all over his eyes. “We all need the medicine. However, there is a limited production every month. How is it enough for everyone? I hate bitches like you who don’t know their good fortune! Damn you!”

The woman’s voice weakened until she took her last breath. Hei Ao massaged his arms and dragged the body into the room. The black lines in his eyes faded away. He took out his phone to make a call. “I need two cleaners. Money is not a problem. I need them now!”

After getting the reply, Hei Ao hung up. He was still angry. “I should have killed her a long time ago. How dare she threaten me?”

He wanted to smash the things in the room when he noticed the room door was open. His face dimmed. He slunk to the door and pushed his head out. All the rooms were closed. No guard was coming. He sighed in relief. He put on his clothes quickly and took the elevator to leave. Half a minute later, Gao Ming exited the corner of the staircase. He picked up the camera from the floor.

“I didn’t get the time to adjust the angle. It’s a bit blurry, but it’s a piece of good evidence.” Gao Ming didn’t enter the room. He didn’t forget his goal.

Gao Ming leaned on the door of Room 4017 and tried to listen. The rooms on the fourth floor had good sound insulation. If Hei Ao hadn’t opened the door, Gao Ming wouldn’t have heard their argument. Gao Ming fixed the camera. He pressed the bell. After ten seconds, the door opened. A stench wafted out of the room. It smelled like someone was cooking drugs.

The silk lingerie barely covered her body. A fair woman opened the door. She was big-boned but had a passable face. She exuded an air of richness and laziness. Her eyes were unfocused as if she had just used some mind-relaxing drugs.

Gao Ming wasn’t fazed. “I’m here to find Bu Ming because he owes me money.”

“Bu Ming… Let me think…” The woman toyed with her hair. “Yes. He’s in the bathroom.”

“Sorry for disturbing.” Gao Ming rushed into the room. The room had the same layout as Hei Ao’s room. The rooms on the fourth floor probably looked the same.

“Bu Meng, where is my money?”

The bathroom was open. Gao Ming entered it and saw a naked man tied to a chair. After removing the bra that covered his face, Gao Ming saw a bloodless face. Two eyes bulged. Some dust lingered on his mouth. Bu Ming had been dead for some time already. Gao Ming wanted to retreat as he threw away the wet bra. Suddenly, the cold touch of a gun barrel hit the back of his head.

“I remember… the cleaners said they would arrive after midnight. Who are you?” The woman’s voice was slow, but it carried a condescension towards life. Killing Gao Ming would do nothing to her conscience. Everything in this city had a price. As long as one had money, anything could be solved.

“I’m here because Bu Ming owed me money.”

“Money?” The woman slowly approached Gao Ming. “Still refuse to tell the truth, huh? My gun has a silencer. This room is well-insulated. No one will miss you after you die.”

“Bu Ming really owed me.” Gao Ming didn’t think he’d encounter a crazy woman so soon.

“Men are always lying. Go to the bedroom!” The woman forced Gao Ming into the bedroom. The heavy scent of medicine covered the smell of blood. A young waiter lay on the ground. He was heavily wounded. He must have been tortured before he died.

“Go! Remove the dog collar from his neck!”

Gao Ming knelt and silently observed the woman. The woman’s hand on the gun was unstable. Her gaze wandered about like she hadn’t fully awakened.

“See the black bottle on the table? Finish the liquid in it!”

The unlabelled bottle contained a pungent liquid. It might be a drug or a poison. The woman had no sense of remorse. She killed Bu Meng and the waiter without any problem.

“Quick!”

Gao Ming confirmed the woman's and the gun’s location from the mirror. As he bent down to pick up the bottle, he suddenly whipped around and raised his arms!

The woman fired the gun without hesitation. The bullet grazed Gao Ming’s cheek and hit the bed. The woman was not lying. The weapon barely made a sound thanks to the silencer.

Lee Sansi’s body was weak. If not for the woman’s drugged state, he might not be her match. He kicked her in the stomach. Gao Ming tried his best to snatch the gun away. The position was reversed. The woman didn’t panic with the gun pointed at her. However, her eyes became clearer.

“You sure are brave to do this.” The woman rubbed her stomach. Venom accrued in her eyes, but she didn’t show it. “Do you know who I am?” The woman didn’t think Gao Ming dared to shoot. She straightened herself. “Wan Sheng’s boss, Yuan Qing, is my father. This Hao Jue Hotel is my father’s present to me. If you hurt me, everyone related to you will be tortured to death.” The woman was confident. She picked up the wine from the table and plopped down on the bed. “Put down the gun, and I’ll give you the chance to be my dog. Being my dog can earn you many rewards. A lot of people want that.”

“Be your dog and die like this child on the floor?”

“Dignity without ability is laughable. To me, you’re nothing more than an angry chihuahua.” The woman was already thinking about how to torment Gao Ming. The black threads appeared in her eyes, but she didn’t notice them.
