Grimacing, Jianxing Feng spat out bloodied saliva, struggled up from the floor. Then he sat on the stool he had just sat on, and gasped, "Xuan Chu and I do know each other, we met when we were studying abroad. After returning to work in China, we’ve lost contact. I did not expect him to suddenly contact me a few days ago, saying that he asked me to help him with this matter. I was stunned at that time. Embezzlement is a big taboo, after being discovered it is not just as simple as firing, so I refused him without hesitation."
At this point Jianxing stopped.
Kerry Ye took a glance at him and asked, "Then why did you say yes again later?"
Jianxing paused for a moment, biting his lip and said, "I got infected with marijuana when I was abroad and never quit, and when I returned to China, I occasionally had some pills, and used all my savings and salary to buy ecstasy, and I still have debt. Xuan blackmailed me with this, saying that if I don't help him, he will let me be ruined."
Kerry smiled bitterly, "Just for this benefit?"
"He also promised that if I helped him get what he wanted, he would pay off my three million dollar high interest debt for me and provide me with ten kilograms of drugs for free."
"Ha hah ...... ten kilograms? Is it worth for you to do that?"
Jianxing was too remorseful to regret, knelt down and begged Kerry, "President Ye, I've said everything, just let me go, I'll definitely roll far away and never appear in Sky City, please, please."
Kerry suddenly remembered something and asked him, "Are you familiar with Xuan?"
Jianxing shook his head, "No, just studied abroad in the same class, after so many years, this is the first contact."
"Then do you know if he had any particularly good friends when he studying abroad," Kerry paused and added a sentence at the end, "well-connected male friends."
Jianxing seriously recalled, "He was very popular at that time, he had a lot of good male friends, but the particularly good friend......maybe not ."
"Did you know that he liked men?" Kerry asked directly.
"Huh?" Jianxing was astonished, "Xuan? Likes ...... men? I, I don't know."
"Then think again, did he ever have a girlfriend while he was in school?"
Jianxing's brain at this point felt like it had been struck by lightning and he was still immersed in the words Xuan liked men, but he still tried to recall, "It seems like I've never heard of him having a girlfriend, so that's what happened."
Kerry stared at him speechlessly, not a single clue from him. Kerry really want to shoot him in the head.
More than an hour later, two brawny men dragged the dead and bloodied Jianxing out and threw him into Kerry trunk.
Kerry)shook hands with the big boss to say goodbye, got into the car and drove to the suburbs.
When the car left the city center, Henry Zhang said to Kerry, "Kerry, that car has been following without lights on."
Kerry said with a cold smile, "If they like to follow, just follow, if they don't come who are we acting for?"
The car traveled east to the beach and stopped at a lower sea rock. Kerry directed Henry to drag the man out of the trunk and threw him right down.
The waves were rough and Jianxing disappeared instantly.
"Go back, I'm exhausted." Kerry said.
"Yes."
After leaving from the beach, a black car came to the place and down came a man looking into the sea, nothing but moonlit waves.
......
At Yan Chu's apartment in Sky City.
There were a floor of broken glass shards and water stains, a few ruined potted plants, and dying fish.
The vandal sat on the sofa and gasped, failing, failing again, he had planned it all so carefully, specifically looking for someone to hack the Golden Shield's surveillance system tonight and looking for someone to steal a manager's fingerprints, but it still failed.
Where the hell did it go wrong?
Looking at the reaction of Kerry and Venus Mu, it didn't look like collusion, otherwise Kerry wouldn't have given the key, because he's not that stupid. In case he succeeded he would miss a large amount of treasure.
Could it be that Jianxing was found?
Now he was most worried about Jianxing, would Jianxing give him up?
Just as he thought about it, the phone rang.
She wanted to be an educated person.
After a few minutes of watching a detective movie on TV, starring Venus's favorite actor, she forgot about Kerry upstairs.
Suddenly, the ringing of her phone pulled her out of the exciting drama and she flipped out her phone to see that it was Xuan.
She turned down the sound of the TV and took a deep breath to answer the call.
"Hello?" The voice was soft and low.
"The mission failed, did Kerry say anything?" Xuan's voice sounded very low.
Venus said, "Wait a minute," and got up to come outdoors, pretending to sound impatient and asking, "How did it fail? I thought you said it was no problem."
Xuan was also angry, "Where the fuck did I go wrong? Where's Kerry?"
"Still sleeping, he didn't be back until almost dawn." Venus said truthfully.
"Well, keep an eye on his attitude, maybe he already knows that I'm behind this."
Venus sounded surprised and asked, "Why is that? Wouldn't that expose me too?"
"The man who went to get the treasure map last night was caught and ......" Xuan stopped for a moment, "he's dead. I don't know if he recruited me."
Venus's brain "buzzed" as if a stone had been pressed against her chest, and she asked with difficulty, "You said, he's dead?"
"Yes, it was Kerry who killed him and threw him into the sea."
Venus's breathing quickened, a dead man? Someone died in this plan? Didn't Kerry promise her that he would never kill again? Why? Why did he kill again?
Xuan heard no sound on this side, and seemed to feel Venus's fear and panic.
"Yan, you have to be steady, no matter what Kerry asks you, just say you don't know. He has no evidence now, the only witness is also dead, so he can't do anything to us ...... Yan? Yan?"
Venus gasped greatly, as if waking up from a nightmare, and whispered, "I know."
