“You…” Zhou Jingyun was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. He raised his hand and pinched his temples, and noticed from the corner of his eye that Jiang Tong looked like she was watching a show. “Why don’t you open your mouth and persuade him?!” Zhou Jingyun said to Jiang Tong, rolling his eyes.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to persuade me. I’m considering this seriously.” Before Jiang Tong could speak, Zhou Mingfei spoke first.

Jiang Tong didn’t really try to persuade Zhou Mingfei. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Has Old Ghost been saved?”

“Old Ghost? Which one? Sister-in-law, you specifically said you want him alive?” Zhou Mingfei asked. The bodyguard had told him about Old Ghost. After getting Jiang Tong’s confirmation, Zhou Mingfei said, “Yes, they just called me to tell me.”

“It’s good that he’s alive. I need to have a good talk with Old Ghost alone.” Jiang Tong’s words obviously had a hidden meaning. Zhou Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought for a while. He quickly got up, walked around the coffee table, and sat down beside Jiang Tong. He leaned closer and asked, “Sister-in-law, what are you going to talk about with Old Ghost? Does he know something about Shao Ying? Or could it be that he can kill Shao Ying just with a few words from you?”

“You want to know?” Jiang Tong glanced at Zhou Mingfei, and Zhou Mingfei quickly nodded in response, “I want! I really want to know!”

“Alright, then apologize to your big brother first.” At Jiang Tong’s signal, Zhou Mingfei stood up and bowed at a 90-degree angle to Zhou Jingyun and apologized, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you!” He didn’t look at Zhou Jingyun during the whole process. After he apologized, he sat down again and looked straight at Jiang Tong, showing an almost fawning smile. He asked, “Sister-in-law, can you tell me what happened first?”

“Have you heard of the Poppy Group at the border of Myanmar?” Jiang Tong looked at Zhou Mingfei and asked with a smile.

“The Poppy Group?” Before Zhou Mingfei could say anything, Zhou Jingyun spoke first, “Isn’t that organization poisonous…”

“Right!” Jiang Tong nodded. The term ‘Poppy Group’ meant a criminal organization. The borders of Myanmar were a very chaotic place. Many of them could still be considered warlords in modern society, and they were more or less related to ‘drugs’. The Poppy Group was such a master.

“That Old Ghost… is he from the Poppy Group?” Zhou Mingfei seemed to have understood.

“Yes,” Jiang Tong nodded and said, “Old Ghost is essentially a top fighter who specializes in doing things for people. Perhaps you could say that he’s one of the people from the Poppy Group who do things in our country. You could also say that he’s a mercenary killer. He can do whatever as long as he’s paid. As long as he’s paid enough, he can do anything!”

“Then could Shao Ying… does she have connections to Old Ghost and the Poppy Group?” Zhou Mingfei’s speech slowed down. The more he spoke, the slower he became, but his tone became more and more excited. If Shao Ying dared to have any connections with the Poppy Group, dared to have anything to do with ‘drugs’, then once this matter was exposed, no one would be able to save her!

Jiang Tong shook her head and said to Zhou Mingfei, “It’s not as serious as you think. Shao Ying has enough legal ways to make money. She would not do such a thing. The Shao family would not let her do such a thing. Shao Ying does not have any personal connections with the Poppy Group. She is not that stupid.”

“Then Shao Ying is…” Zhou Mingfei was slightly disappointed.

“Old Ghost.” Jiang Tong emphasized and said with a smile, “He knows a lot about the Poppy Group, and he also knows a lot about Shao Ying. There were a few times when Shao Ying was very stubborn, not wanting anyone to find out that she was related to the incidents that happened. She hired people from outside to do it, and the person she always hired was Old Ghost.”

Zhou Mingfei listened and thought about it. His eyes slowly widened. He thought of something. Shao Ying might have asked Old Ghost to kill people she shouldn’t have killed! Old Ghost might not have done this personally, but he definitely knew the inside story. He looked at Jiang Tong and asked anxiously, “Who did Shao Ying ask Old Ghost to kill?”

Jiang Tong looked at Zhou Mingfei and did not answer his question. Instead, she said, “It’s time for lunch.”

“Ah?” Zhou Mingfei had wanted to hear Jiang Tong continue, but Jiang Tong brought up lunch instead.

“When I talk to Old Ghost, you can listen,” Jiang Tong said to Zhou Mingfei.

“Okay, Sister-in-law. Okay, you must call me when the time comes!” Zhou Mingfei took a moment to recover and then said, “Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat for lunch? Where are we going to eat?”

“Order takeaway. It’s not convenient to talk and waste time eating outside.” Jiang Tong said. Zhou Mingfei had no objections and took out his phone. He said, “Alright, I’ll get the hotel to send the food over.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
