Chapter 991 Long Xing Agrees to Help
Gui'er took a closer look and realized that although the man had changed his clothes and put on a hat, his figure and posture were indeed Wu Mingqiang's.
"Dingxiang, quick, go down and see if it's him. If it is, bring him up," Gui'er hurriedly instructed.
"Hey." Dingxiang turned around and ran downstairs.
Gui'er watched from the window as Dingxiang walked below, slowly glancing at the other person. Finally, the two greeted each other, and she was certain it was Wu Mingqiang. She breathed a huge sigh of relief. Since Wu Mingqiang was here, it meant the negotiations had been successful. Even if they hadn't succeeded, at least he was safe.
A moment later, Wu Mingqiang came up from the side door. He entered the room, looked at the ordinary surroundings, frowned, and said, "Miss, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Dingxiang said from the side, "Actually, it's not that we're wronged. We initially thought of staying at the Hongyun Hotel near the bookstore, but that hotel was really run-down and old, and it even had a large dormitory where porters lived. Luckily, Miss Lin came and brought us here."
Gui'er quickly shushed him, saying, "Peishan is still sleeping, keep your voice down." Looking back, she saw Lin Peishan was still asleep, then gestured for Wu Mingqiang to sit on the sofa outside and asked, "How is the situation? Is she safe?"
Wu Mingqiang said with a smug look on his face: "Longxing agreed to help us cover it up and treat Ouyang Bao's death as an accident."
Gui'er was a little worried: "How can this be treated as an accident? He has knife wounds, and his men all know that he was in the same building as me last time."
Wu Mingqiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Miss, we thought of that too. Didn't we arrest a policeman? Apparently, his name is A'gen. This kid actually knew Officer Huang, who introduced me to Longxing. He even brought me into the police station as a policeman. But later, in order to make money, he joined Ouyang Bao's team. However, he has always been a marginal figure. This time, Officer Huang found him and asked him to tell us the location where Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu were being held. This kid is a coward. After thinking about it, he got scared and started following Officer Huang. That's how he found out which building we were hiding in. You could say that Ouyang Bao was recruited by him."
Gui'er was somewhat surprised. She really didn't expect that the young policeman was such an important figure. At the time, she only thought he was a weakling under Ouyang Bao and that he had been dragged into this, so she shouldn't make things difficult for him.
"Brother Wu, do you mean you want that young policeman to testify that Ouyang Bao died in an accident here?"
"That's what I thought too, but Miss, I didn't expect Long Xing to be so meticulous, as expected of someone who works in criminal investigation. He said that wouldn't work, there would be a loophole in the chain of evidence. He wanted that young policeman to say that Ouyang Bao met a dancer he used to love when he was leaving your house and walking back with her. The two of them went to another place to have fun, and that's when the accident happened."
"Your old flame, the dancer? Where are you going to find that person? You wouldn't be suggesting Rumeng go there, would you?"
"Hehe, Miss, that won't do. This dancer is going to die with Ouyang Bao. Long Xing had someone find a young woman from among the death row inmates, gave their families some money, and told them not to keep the body. Then they tied the death row inmate to Ouyang Bao's corpse and pushed it into the sea."
Gui'er and Dingxiang were stunned when they heard this. Dingxiang then said, "Oh, that's good too. We've finally gotten rid of Ouyang Bao."
“That’s not a good idea. Ouyang Bao is injured, and if you throw him into the sea now, he’ll be nowhere to be found, dead or alive. And if I end up with him, I’ll become the prime suspect. What if some of his loyal men suspect me? Then Hong Kong will never have peace again. Not to mention dragging an innocent woman down with us.”
“I knew you were kind, Miss. Don’t worry, that woman wasn’t innocent either. She had several lives on her hands, which is why she was sentenced to death. She was willing to give her family some money to settle their affairs. Moreover, Officer Long tied the two bodies together after the execution and threw them into the beach not far from the dock. After a few days, when they were soaked in water and unrecognizable, he sent someone down to cut the rope and let them float slowly. The person Officer Long found was that A’gen. It is said that he is a Tanka person and a good swimmer. Moreover, if he does this kind of thing, he will not be able to turn against you again.”
Gui'er closed her eyes and went over every detail. Once everything was in order, she nodded and asked, "What about Brother Si and Brother Cheng?"
Wu Mingqiang said, "Longxing is so willing to help us for two reasons: first, Ouyang Bao's death is beneficial to him; second, I promised a large reward. After we disposed of Ouyang Bao's body last night, A Si and A Cheng went to the pawnshop and the villa respectively. They want to take back as much as they can before the valuables inside are looted and plundered. We still need to pay tribute to Longxing later."
Upon hearing this, Gui'er quickly asked, "Was the loss significant?"
Wu Mingqiang shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. I was busy all night and just finished. I came over because I was worried something might happen to you."
Just then, Lin Peishan heard voices. She got up and glanced at them, but realizing she wasn't familiar with Wu Mingqiang, she quickly shrank back inside.
Wu Mingqiang said somewhat awkwardly, "Since you're safe here, I'm relieved. I need to go back and check. If it's confirmed that we can move back, I'll let you know. Please stay here for the next couple of days and don't wander around. At least wait until Ouyang Bao's body is found and see if there's any further progress." After saying that, he took off his hat, bowed towards the bedroom, and said loudly, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I'll take my leave now."
After he left, Lin Peishan came out again. Gui'er quickly explained, "Peishan, that's my housekeeper, Wu Mingqiang. He's been handling all the follow-up work on this matter."
Lin Peishan quickly asked, "How did it go? Is it safe for us to go out now? I went to the bookstore yesterday and it was a mess. A lot of books were taken. I wish we could go back and tidy it up now."
Gui'er said, "Not yet. Although Officer Long agreed to help with Ouyang Bao's matter, we can only show our faces after the incident has occurred and we've confirmed that it won't involve us. Otherwise, if we go out on the street and his men recognize us, it will only cause trouble."
Lin Peishan sighed and nodded.
Later, Gui'er told Xu Jing and Chen Zhongyu about this, and they both said they could understand.
Chen Zhongyu said admiringly, "I didn't expect your butler to be so capable. No wonder your brother values him so much."
