Chapter 659: Aren’t You Afraid... I Have a Gun?

Huang Hao didn’t shout or show any intense emotions.

He just looked with confusion at the arriving Chen Xiao and Old Gui.

But the flashlight in Chen Xiao’s hand, shining brightly, was really annoying.

He wanted to see Chen Xiao clearly, but Chen Xiao stood in the light.

This made him very disgusted, very resistant.

Gradually, a strong anger began to rise.

"Can you throw away that thing in your hand?"

Huang Hao said coldly.

Chen Xiao looked down at the flashlight, and said, "If I throw it away, won’t you all be unable to see clearly?"

After saying this, Chen Xiao was already in front of Huang Hao.

Actually, under such circumstances, his vision wasn’t too obstructed.

He could see Huang Hao’s face clearly.

He could also see Zhu Nianying, whose facial features didn’t match her hair color at all.

He nodded at Old Gui, who quickly stepped forward to try and untie the rope hanging Zhu Nianying.

But at this moment, Huang Hao sneered: "Chen Xiao, do you really think I don’t exist?"

Chen Xiao turned his head to look at him, and asked back, "At this point, do I still need to be so wary of you?"

"Heh, truly a very confident guy. It is true, for so many years, I never thought I would meet a opponent like you," Huang Hao said with a smile, then asked:

"Can you tell me how you thought of targeting me?"

"To be precise, the person who told me to focus on you wasn’t me, but someone who never truly had contact with this case."

Huang Hao frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It’s very simple. Ever since I invited Huang Zhao to Dongzhou to treat Guo Zhengchang, who is my Grandpa Guo, it started the Zhu Nianying case."

"Originally, I thought her disappearance was just an ordinary missing person case, and the reason for no information over the years was just because of the era, technological means, and special reasons of the case."

"But later, after my investigation, I found out that there were indeed many people involved in the case, and some contradictions, but there wasn’t a fundamental cause leading to her disappearance."

"For this, I went to West Origin City, and there I discovered that Zhu Nianying had transferred some funds to her brother. Those funds led me to Master Liu, whose appearance made me learn some things that Zhu Nianying shouldn’t have done in my impression."

"Thus, as things repeatedly changed, I began to suspect the purpose of your father asking me to investigate the case."

"So, from start to finish, the person you suspected was always Huang Zhao, right?" Huang Hao asked.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Indeed."

"So, was there a person’s appearance that made you temporarily change your mind and target me?"

"Yes, she compiled a list of people for me, listing all the people involved in the case. Every person in the case could extend to others, but when you were listed, no extensions could be found."

As Chen Xiao said these words, he couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Huang Hao fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Huang Hao understood and smiled, "I see, a loophole, a loophole indeed! So, I’ve lost because I’ve cleaned myself too thoroughly, but...".

Before Huang Hao finished speaking, Chen Xiao helped him explain:

"But you didn’t have a better option, because your identity itself needs to weaken its presence. The stronger your presence, the more likely you’ll be suspected, won’t you?"

Huang Hao didn’t think much and nodded: "Indeed, I’ve planned so much and done so much layout, but I didn’t expect I’d lose because of a list of people."

Speaking of which, seeing the abundant smile on Chen Xiao’s face when talking about the list of people, and knowing it’s not a mocking smile, Huang Hao spoke:

"The person who compiled that list for you must be the one you cherish the most in your life, right?"

This question surprised Chen Xiao a bit.

But what surprised him even more was the abundant smile in Huang Hao’s eyes.

And from his eyes, Chen Xiao read a sense of envy.

"Yes, she is the person I need to love and cherish the most in this world."

"That’s great. If one has a person worth cherishing so much in one’s life, how lucky that must be."

Huang Hao’s words made Chen Xiao subconsciously look at Zhu Nianying.

Upon approaching, he could actually see that Zhu Nianying’s hair color was deliberately changed.

Even though she had lost her freedom for years, Zhu Nianying looked far more haggard and older than her peers, but not to the extent of having white hair like now.

Combining Huang Hao’s words, Chen Xiao asked, "Have you always been searching for your mother’s shadow?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Hao instinctively took a deep breath.

As Chen Xiao was very close, he clearly sensed a slight tremor as Huang Hao breathed deeply.

"For you to ask this question, it means you’ve actually already understood my motive. Impressive, truly impressive!"

Saying this, Huang Hao couldn’t help but look towards the bridge, then said with contempt in his voice:

"So slow, the main force hasn’t arrived yet, so... let’s chat a bit more. When they arrive, I’ll send you on your way."

Upon hearing this, Old Gui immediately moved to Chen Xiao’s side.

This action made Huang Hao chuckle:

"Why are you protecting him so thoroughly? Shouldn’t he know you betrayed Guo Qing? Since you’ve already betrayed, do you think someone as clever as him would still trust you?"

"Whether President Chen trusts me or not doesn’t matter, I missed once and won’t miss a second time."

"Really? Let me guess, did you admit the mistake voluntarily, or did he find out your betrayal and expose you?" Huang Hao said mockingly and then sighed:

"Actually, a truly powerful person shouldn’t be restricted by emotions. If restricted by emotions, they will eventually fall into the abyss. Like me, if you, Chen Xiao, hadn’t found my motive, it wouldn’t be easy to untangle all of this. And as for you, little chauffeur, if you weren’t so moved by a whore, would you have betrayed the benefactor who meant the world to you?"

These words made Old Gui unbearably ashamed.

But Huang Hao seemed not to notice, his eyes calmly fixed on Chen Xiao:

"I said, let’s chat calmly before they arrive. Once they do, I’ll send you on your way."

Chen Xiao tried to purse his lips: "Are you so confident? We’re so close, aren’t you afraid... I have a gun?"

"What’s the use of having a gun?"

Almost as he spoke, Huang Hao’s hand quickly grabbed Chen Xiao’s neck.

"A gunshot can only hurt me for a moment, but I can crush your throat in just a moment."

Chen Xiao suddenly appeared breathless: "You, you are so strong!"

Huang Hao said blandly: "These things are no longer worth mentioning today, and you’d better not struggle, if you do... it’ll only make you suffer more."

"I see, then let go, and let’s have a good chat," Chen Xiao smiled.

Old Gui, seeing this, frowned secretly, feeling that Chen Xiao was so unfamiliar at that moment!
