Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel - Chapter 2867

Chapter 2867: Let Another Man Go?

If they had to pay such a heavy price, they were definitely unwilling, but they were curious about the reason. They were afraid that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting would take Zhou Jin away, then let him go.

“Miss, we’re willing to give you all we have. We have two hundred million yuan. Please let us go,” one man begged. They were willing to give Gu Ning their money for their life and freedom.

However, that wasn’t all they had. They had to save some for themselves.

“Oh, then tell me what you did before you became thieves?” asked Gu Ning.

!!
“We…”

The two men exchanged a glance with hesitation.

“Do you think I have time to waste on you?” Seeing them hesitating, Gu Ning said impatiently.

Upon hearing that, the two men got anxious. One of them immediately said, “We used to be assassins. Because we didn’t want to kill anymore, we left the organization. We planned to find a legal job afterwards, but the organization reported us to the government. We are on the list of wanted criminals, so we can’t use ID cards or work normally. Left with no choice, we began to steal. We honestly have no idea how to live.”

“Oh, who did you serve? Have you killed anyone before?” asked Gu Ning.

“The patriarch of the Wang family in the capital, Wang Chongxi,” said the man. Had they killed before? “Yes, we’ve killed before.” The man answered.

He wanted to deny it, but he understood that Gu Ning wouldn’t believe him.

Wang Chongxi? “Do you know the Wang family?” Gu Ning turned to ask Leng Shaoting.

“Yeah, it’s a family that has been around for a hundred years, but it declined about ten years ago. It’s not in the most important circle now, so they keep a very low profile now.” Leng Shaoting said, “That’s what we can see from the surface, but we don’t know what they’re doing in private.”

“Is the Wang family independent?” Gu Ning asked. Currently, nearly every important family in the capital belonged to a certain faction, so she wondered whether the Wang family sided with any other families.

“No, they belong to the Yuan family’s faction,” said Leng Shaoting.

“Oh!” Gu Ning nodded.

“Who did Wang Chongxi order you to kill?” asked Gu Ning again.

“Some officials, like XX, XXX, XXX, and so on,” said the man.

Hearing that, both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were mad at once. Among those people, Gu Ning had heard two of them. The two people had a good reputation, but one died in a car crash, while the other was murdered.

People thought the car crash was an accident, so they didn’t conduct a further investigation, and they couldn’t find the culprit of the murder at all.

Gu Ning felt it was understandable that they weren’t caught. After all, they were extremely strong compared with ordinary people.

What Gu Ning didn’t know was that one of the dead officials belonged to the Leng family’s faction, so Leng Shaoting directly spoke coldly once he learned that the official was killed by the two men, “Send them to the police station tomorrow!”

“Didn’t we answer your questions? Why do you still want the police to be involved?”

The two men couldn’t stay calm and angrily questioned Leng Shaoting.

“Because you killed someone you shouldn’t have killed,” Leng Shaoting answered coldly.

“And I didn’t tell you that I wouldn’t call the police if you answered my questions,” Gu Ning said.

“You…” The two men were struck dumb, but obviously they had killed someone who had a close relationship with Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

“Alright, I need to take them away first then we can call the police tomorrow. As for the third man, I’ll leave him to you,” Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting and left Zhou Jin to him.

“No problem.” Leng Shaoting agreed, then pulled Zhou Jin as he walked away.

Gu Ning called Zheng Peng and told him to bring some people up to take the two men down.

She could do that, but was unwilling to. She didn’t want Leng Shaoting to be unhappy when he saw her dragging the two men.

Before long, Zheng Peng came with several other men. They were all mad when they saw the thieves.

Because the two men were both seriously injured, they had to stop themselves from kicking them.

Afterwards, they pushed the two men down the mountain and locked them in a separate room.

Even though they were too injured to run away, in case of any accidents, they still tied them up and Gu Ning said nothing about it.

Half an hour later, Leng Shaoting was back. He told Gu Ning that he didn’t kill Zhou Jin, but he beat him to his original shape.

He turned out to be a monster tiger.

At 8 am the next day, Zheng Peng called the policeman who was in charge of the case. When the policeman heard that Zheng Peng caught the thieves, he immediately brought his team over.

Once the police came, the two men immediately told on Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. Anyway, it was impossible for them to escape now.

“Sir, we were three people, but they let the other man go, because the man promised to give them a hundred million yuan,” said a man.

“Right, they accepted the man’s money, so they let him go,” said another man.

The policeman didn’t know Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, so he turned to ask them, “Miss, sir, are they telling the truth?”

Although the policeman didn’t know Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, he could see that they weren’t ordinary people, so he had a very polite attitude.

Leng Shaoting took out his certificate and showed it to the policeman. “The man is very special, so I need to take him to my institution. This is my certificate.”

As soon as the policeman saw Leng Shaoting’s certificate, he was shocked and said at once, “Oh, General Leng, I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m so sorry that I didn’t recognize you. If you need the man, you can take him away.”

The policeman didn’t doubt Leng Shaoting’s status since he had heard of a young major general who was only in his twenties who had already achieved a lot in the military.

Although he wasn’t sure whether Leng Shaoting was that major general, he didn’t think anyone would dare to imitate such an important figure.

General Leng?

Hearing that, everyone turned to look at Leng Shaoting in surprise. They couldn’t believe that Leng Shaoting was a general.

Only officers above major general could be called a general

In that case, Leng Shaoting was a soldier, and his title was major general, but he was so young!
