“Tell me, why did you capture Wei Xiaoxuan?” Inside the private room, Su Jing asked the four men after using his spiritual power to control and restrain them.
“Somebody paid us to do that,” The middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge of this small group replied.
“Who is it?”
“We don’t know. The person identified themselves as Shadow.”
“And what role does Dong Qi play among you?”
“He was arranged by the ‘Shadow’ to be among us. He instructed us to remove his mask at the appropriate time during the kidnapping process. We thought he would serve as a scapegoat, someone to take the blame in case something went wrong so we agreed as it would be beneficial for us.”
“Indeed, Dong Qi is just a pawn.” Su Jing squinted his eyes as he finally confirmed his guess. From the appearance of things, it seemed that Dong Qi held a grudge against Wei Xiaoxuan and wanted to cause trouble for her. Even Wei Xiaoxuan herself believed so.
Fortunately, Su Jing had a hunch that things were not that simple. He possessed the Mirror of Time Reversal, a magic weapon from “The Immortal Gourd” universe, which allowed him to see everything that had happened in the room and track down these men.
At this point, it was already clear that there was someone else behind all this, and that someone had targeted Wei Xiaoxuan.
“If you don’t know who this ‘Shadow’ is then how did you communicate with him?”
“He called us on the phone. He used a public phone, we believe.”
“Since you don’t know him, why did you agree to enter the room and kidnap someone? That’s a serious crime. Weren’t you afraid of being deceived?” Su Jing asked.
“He paid us a deposit of two hundred thousand yuan in advance, directly transferred to our accounts. He also promised to pay an additional One Million Eight Hundred Thousand yuan after the job is done. How could we not be tempted?”
Su Jing didn’t need to ask further. Dong Qi followed the orders of the “Shadow” because money can make people do anything. Even these thugs, who had no grudges or disputes with Wei Xiaoxuan, could be easily persuaded to harm and kidnap her.
Not to mention Dong Qi, who had a personal vendetta against Wei Xiaoxuan. The prospect of earning money while seeking revenge was enough to make people take desperate risks.
Dong Qi probably knew that he couldn’t handle Su Jing, but sometimes people held onto a sense of luck, believing they could escape any calamity that would come their way.
“Give me your cards,” Su Jing said. After they handed over their cards, Su Jing instructed Luo Qilin and Su Ti to investigate who transferred the money to their accounts. However, they discovered that the transaction was made in cash and they couldn’t trace the sender.
“Let’s say that you have successfully captured your target, how will the next exchange take place?” Su Jing asked.
“He asked us to deliver that girl to a specific address and he also told us that he would exchange the money and the captive there.”
“What is that address?” Su Jing inquired. After they revealed the address, Su Jing asked Luo Qilin to investigate that location, specifically instructing him to check if anyone was guarding the area within a radius of several thousand or even tens of thousands of meters, using binoculars if necessary.
For ordinary people, this task would be extremely difficult, but for Luo Qilin and his lightning Stand, it was a piece of cake.
After a short while, Luo Qilin’s lightning Stand returned and said, “Master, it’s an abandoned scrap yard in the suburbs. There’s no one nearby watching it.”
Su Jing wasn’t surprised by this. Since the other party was being so cautious by hiding in the shadows, they would surely be keeping a close eye on the situation.
They were probably already aware of the incident involving Wei Xiaoxuan’s fall, so there was no need for them to monitor the designated meeting place any more.
“Master, what should we do now? How should we deal with these people?” Luo Qilin asked.
“They are of no use to us anymore. Make a call to the police. You stay here and wait for them to arrive and arrest these men. I’ll go to the abandoned scrap yard myself,” Su Jing said.
“Understood,” The phantom monster nodded and said.
Su Jing walked out of the private room, and the bald middle-aged man immediately approached him with a flattering smile on his face. At the same time, his eyes kept darting inside, it was as if he was afraid that someone inside might be dead.
He said, “Mr. Su, your presence here is an honor for us. It’s truly disrespectful of us to not receive you properly. How about I arrange a room for you? I guarantee you an emperor-like experience.”
“No need. I have already called the police. They will come to arrest these four men,” Su Jing said, and then quickly walked upstairs.
The bald middle-aged man hurriedly entered the private room and saw that the four middle-aged men were unharmed and alive and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing that.
He quickly gave orders that from now until tomorrow, no irregular activities should take place in the entertainment venue.
Su Jing reached the rooftop and mounted his Golden Eagle, flying towards the abandoned scrap yard. Luo Qilin investigated but couldn’t find anything useful, so Su Jing had to go there himself.
It took him more than twenty minutes to arrive at that Scrap Yard and Su Jing took out the Mirror of Time Reversal and began his investigation.
Su Jing thought to himself that since the other party chose that specific location for the meeting, they must have already investigated it and deemed it suitable.
It wouldn’t be meaningful for ordinary people to think about this, as a cautious opponent would not leave any traces behind. It’s not like in the movies where people drop something that can be used to identify them while walking down the street.
However, Su Jing had the Mirror of Time Reversal, so no evidence being here was not a problem for him. He let the mirror project the scene from before Wei Xiaoxuan’s accident and traced it back.
It didn’t take long for him to find the person he was looking for. The place was already abandoned, with barely anyone visiting it, so it wasn’t difficult to investigate someone who had come here.
Then, following the lead, Su Jing had Luo Qilin and Su Ti investigate further. They quickly found the person and tagged him for Su Jing. Su Jing also paid this ‘Shadow’ a personal visit and captured him.
