Chapter 406 - 406: USB Drive

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With his many years of experience in handling cases, Feng Jing could confirm that the USB drive Liu Jing mentioned was the crux of the issue.

“Please tell me more details.” Feng Jing’s expression became solemn because the evidence that he had always found difficult to collect might be in the USB drive Liu Jing mentioned.

The good news was that the USB drive was not in the hands of the people from the black market, but the bad news was that there was a high chance that more people would lose their lives because of it.

“They said that the USB drive seemed to be buried under a big tree. i heard from the man in the black suit that there are really too many similar trees in City A.”

Yin Tao felt that Liu JingaCTMs words were especially familiar, as if she had said the same thing herself.

“Is the tree you’re talking about a big locust tree?” Yin Tao couldn’t help but ask Liu Jing.

“Yes, I heard them say that the locust tree is probably not in the city because they’ve searched almost every place in the city where there are locust trees.”

Although Liu Jing couldn’t remember every word of their conversation, she would not remember the general content wrongly.

Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing and exchanged glances with him. It seemed that the locust tree that Cheng Yao had heard Liang Yi mention earlier would be the tree where the USB drive was buried.

“The man in the black suit even apologized to the man in the casual outfit. He said that the child’s matter was not handled properly.” Although Liu Jing did not know what their conversation meant, she didn’t dare hide any detail at all.

Feng Jing frowned and asked, “What child? Did they mention the child specifically?”

“The children from the Children’s Home. They didn’t say anything else.” Liu Jing lowered her head sadly and explained, “Because we weren’t allowed to bring any electronic equipment in, I couldn’t record their conversation. Is this not of much help?”

Based on the clues provided by Liu Jing, Feng Jing already had a bold guess in his heart. “No, you have helped me a lot.”

“How did you escape at that time? How did they discover you?” Yin Tao also had a very bad premonition. She really knew a child from the Children’s Home in City A, and she had almost been involved in the recent murder.

“I didn’t make a sound at that time, so they didn’t notice me even after they finished talking. However, perhaps I was too afraid, I saw them walk out of the room and didn’t dare to wait too long before running out. 1 ran into the bodyguards who were still standing guard not far away.”

Liu Jing recalled the scene at that time and was still trembling. If not for the fact that there were a lot of people at the auction, she might not have been able to escape.

“But as long as they want to investigate, they will definitely be able to find out.” Sister Ling looked at Liu Jing worriedly and explained to Feng Jing and the others, “Fortunately, Liu Jing trusts me very much. She found me immediately and told me what happened.”

Sister Ling paused for a moment before speaking her mind. “I don’t want to go against the higher-ups of the black market. After all, i control some of the legitimate businesses in the black market.”

“But 1 also know their methods. Liu Jing has heard so much. They definitely won’t let her off. It’s only a matter of time before they find out.”

“So you hid Liu Jing here before they found out who she was?” Jiang Xing didn’t expect that this was what had happened to Liu Jing. He couldn’t imagine how a young lady like her had survived during this period of time.

“Then they should already know that the person who heard the secret at that time was Liu Jing?” Yin Tao knew that Sister Ling’s actions had undoubtedly exposed the fact that Liu Jing had heard the secret. However, the outcome was unimaginable if she didn’t do this.

“Hmm, if it weren’t for the fact that the police have been following us closely recently, I believe they would have killed all the waitresses that night.” A look of disgust appeared in Sister Ling’s eyes. Although she wasn’t doing business for charity, she definitely wouldn’t treat human lives like dirt.

Feng Jing had been keeping quiet all this while. After listening to Liu Jing’s statement, many things that were difficult to explain in the past gradually became clear.

“Sister Ling, have you never thought of calling the police? If we hadn’t come today, would you still have been hiding Liu Jing?” Yin Tao admired Sister Ling. The fact that she protected Liu Jing at all costs was enough to prove her character.

“I’ve said it before. i don’t completely trust the police. If not for the fact that you’re a member of the Feng family, I wouldn’t have told you these things.”

Feng Jing looked at the woman in front of him. She wasn’t particularly good looking, but she had charisma. She had an elegant temperament that was beyond the usual charm of a woman.

“Do you have a good impression of the Feng family?” Feng Jing sized up the woman in front of him. He was certain that she was someone he had never met before..
