Chapter 357
Xiao Jian had reservations about such matters, and Ye Tian didn’t blame him; although he didn’t know his exact position, just from his age, he probably wasn’t that influential. Even if there were powerful elders in his family, there were no shortcuts in one’s official career; one could only climb up steadily step by step. Xiao Jian was on the rise, so it was normal for him to have self-preservation instincts. He couldn’t be forced.
The urgent matter at hand was to keep a close watch on He Ku, ensuring he was by his side at all times. This was his most reliable card at the moment and also the one the enemies were desperately trying to get.
When they arrived at the hotel, the landlady was still cracking melon seeds, and the table had accumulated a thick layer of melon seed shells. Ye Tian shook his head inwardly, cursing how many she was eating - if she wasn’t fat, she must be able to fly!
Once in his room, he took out the room key and pushed the door open.
Ye Tian cursed himself for being a Pig; he should’ve realized earlier how stubborn He Ku was. Now that they had reached the city and his father was so close by, how could he possibly be content to wait here for news quietly?
A wave of regret surged up in his heart. If He Ku fell into the hands of others again, both of them would undoubtedly be dead.
After quickly packing up, Ye Tian dashed out of the hotel, not even caring about the one hundred yuan deposit he left behind – after all, one hundred yuan couldn’t buy anything valuable.
As he walked, he pondered where He Ku could go. The police station? Very likely. But Ye Tian believed He Ku already knew about the dangerous situation they were in from all the actions and words he’d seen and heard that day; he wouldn’t be foolish enough to go to the police station for justice. After much thought, Ye Tian was still unsure and decided he must make a trip to the police station to ensure nothing was amiss.
It wasn’t a short distance, and running there would exhaust him half to death, so Ye Tian hailed a taxi midway.
"Brother, where to?"
