Chapter 657: Contract Killing
“If you take the drugs a second time, the effects of the toxin will deepen. If you can’t get the antidote, you’ll suffer like this every month. Do you think you can take this?”
Jiang Hongyi’s eyes were filled with fear.
“I was wrong! It was wrong of me! I won’t pursue Miss Selena anymore, and I won’t treat Zhong Nuannuan badly anymore.”
“Mm? What did you call Miss Nuannuan?”
The man in black needed only to grunt once before scaring Jiang Hongyi so much that he trembled. Jiang Hongyi quickly said, “Miss Nuannuan! I’ll never treat Miss Nuannuan badly again. I’ll be good to her.”
“Who asked you to be nice to her?” The man in black looked disgusted.
Jiang Hongyi, “…” What exactly did he want Jiang Hongyi to do? Sobs…
“From now on, you stay far away from Miss Nuannuan. Do you know how much heartache she feels whenever she sees the bunch of people from the Jiang family?”
“I… I got it!”
“Also, someone asked you to deal with Miss Selina and Young Master Leng. You don’t know who this person is, but you accepted the two million bucks he gave you. Do you understand?”
Jiang Hongyi knew that Selina was trying to frame someone else through him.
While he felt that Selina was ruthless, he also warned himself not to provoke her ever again.
“I know, I understand. Someone gave me two million to hire someone to do this, but I don’t know who the person is. I just know that I have two million more in my account. I like Selina anyway, so I did it.”
“When you did this, you were knocked out, and then you didn’t know anything. You don’t even know who knocked you out, understand?”
“Understood! Understood!”
The man in black patted Jiang Hongyi’s cheek. “It’s good that you know. If you don’t know or forget, our Miss Selena doesn’t mind giving you two more pills.”
Jiang Hongyi shuddered and shook his head vigorously.
“I won’t spout nonsense, and I won’t forget. Believe me!”
“Okay. Get up and get dressed.”
After saying that, the man in black loosened Jiang Hongyi from the ropes. He even said considerately, “There’s a bathroom inside. Go take a shower and put on your clothes. Get lost quickly.”
“Yes… Yes!”
Jiang Hongyi had been dealt with until he had lost any form of temper. He bowed and hurried into the bathroom.
When he came out, the man in black had already left, and he was in a three-star hotel not far from his home.
Walking out of the hotel, Jiang Hongyi felt like he had just walked past the gates of h.e.l.l.
Just then, another call came. It was from his mother, Xie Congrong.
Just as he was about to answer the call, a police car suddenly appeared before him.
“Are you Jiang Hongyi?”
Jiang Hongyi, “…”
“Someone is suing you for a murder case. Please come with us to the police station.”
With that, he handcuffed Jiang Hongyi’s hands.
Jiang Hongyi, “…”
He thought that this matter would be over, but he did not expect that there were still legal sanctions waiting for him.
Although it did not count as contract killing for him, he could not brush off the fact that he was the one who hired a group of ruffians just to go after Selina. Also, since Selina was trying to frame someone, it was obvious that she was trying to condemn this person thoroughly even though he did not know who she was trying to frame.
He had clearly heard the police mention ‘contract killing’.
It was not an improper romantic pursuit, nor was it a street brawl, but contract killing.
