Chapter 221 - 217 Difficult Times
"This isn’t a matter of whether or not you can testify, someone is out to harm the Nanrong Family, that’s why they designed this trap for you. Don’t worry too much, I will definitely help clear your name and get you out." After a pause, Ling Chen instructed, "Also, don’t mention to anyone that you’ve seen me, including your sister. Do you hear me?"
"Chen, rest assured, I won’t say a word."
If not for this incident, Ling Chen would not have made an appearance so readily. He was still in a period of concealment, and until he had gathered the intelligence about Zhu Hong, he preferred not to reveal himself.
Leaving the police station without a sound, Ling Chen went straight back to his temporary residence in the neighborhood.
As he entered the door, the dense aroma of braised food immediately hit his nose.
Arriving in the living room, he saw Hu Fei sitting in front of a square table with several fast food containers filled with different kinds of braised dishes and accompanied by a few bottles of beer. Hu Fei was holding a pork knuckle, gnawing at it with greasy lips in relish.
"Hey, you’re finally back. I bought you supper, let’s have some together." Hu Fei called out.
Ling Chen casually picked up a piece of braised meat and stuffed it into his mouth, smacking his lips: "How is it, any findings?"
"That depends on what you’re asking." While speaking, Hu Fei spat out a bone and wiped his hands with a napkin, "Let’s start with the Snake King’s affair. I’ve checked into Nanrong Zhengqing, there’s a domestic record of him, though it’s not complete, but I found a name that proves a significant relationship with Nanrong Gang. Nanrong Zhengqing’s mother is actually Nanrong Gang’s ex-wife."
Ling Chen nodded, "The Snake King must have been aware of the grudge between Nanrong Gang and the Nanrong Family, hence his act of revenge. Put that aside for now, and tell me about Nanrong Hao, have you found anything?"
