NOVEL WEB Chapter 305 - 305 A Shot Has Been Fired!
305 A Shot Has Been Fired!
General Kun Tong was furious because of this. He suspected that it was the doing of another warlord organization on the Myanmar border! Because the two sides were already opponents! General Kun Tong vented his anger at his opponent. He secretly captured many of their men and interrogated them, but he did not get any answers. Because of this incident, both the Poppy Group and their rival groups suffered considerable losses. Many people died in the fight before they finally reached a truce!
Old Ghost didn’t find out the truth. Although the matter had already passed and had become an ‘unresolved case’, Old Ghost had never given up. Jiang Tong had already told him who killed Leon, but she had only given him a brief summary. She didn’t go into any more details, and there was no proof to prove whether it was true or not. Under such circumstances, Old Ghost must have wanted to continue listening. He wanted to know. So… if he wanted to kill Jiang Tong, he wouldn’t have touched the gun at this moment. He could have asked Jiang Tong first, listened more, understood everything, and then found an opportunity to grab the gun.
Old Ghost raised his gun and slowly squinted at Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong still had a smile on her face and remained indifferent.
“You’re not afraid?” Old Ghost asked Jiang Tong.
“I believe that you won’t shoot me.” Jiang Tong looked at Old Ghost with a smile. Old Ghost swore! He had never seen such a calm woman! He had come to City Z to kill Jiang Tong under the Shao family’s employment! Although many things had happened in between, he was now pointing a gun at Jiang Tong. As long as he curled his finger, Jiang Tong would die and the mission would be completed! However, Jiang Tong was so calm that it was as if she had not encountered any threat of death! Old Ghost, who was already afraid of Jiang Tong’s combat power, now admired Jiang Tong even more than he feared her! He really didn’t know that Jiang Tong wouldn’t gamble with her life. Jiang Tong knew Old Ghost’s mind and controlled his mind!
Of course, even if she did not play mind games, Jiang Tong was not afraid, because she still had her biggest trump card, the reset of time!
Old Ghost suddenly put away his gun. At the same time, his other hand dropped the knife. He took the pillow on the sofa and folded it in half to cover the gun. Then, he pointed the muzzle at the side of the sofa’s armrest. His movements were very fast and all in one go! And then! Bang! Bang! Wood splinters burst out from the lower side of the armrest and flew everywhere.
Old Ghost fired! The gunshot was very dull but it was not soft. It was far from being loud enough to travel out. It was much lower than the decibel of a normal gunshot. It sounded like the sound of a bottle of red wine being pulled out of its cork after being shaken! Even the neighbors next door might not be able to hear the sound, and even if they did, they wouldn’t think it was a gunshot. Because it had been ‘silenced’!
There was no silencer, but the thick pillow wrapped around the muzzle and pushed against the sofa. All these actions were for the silencer, mainly because of the pillow! After the gunshot, Old Ghost was stunned! Indeed, he had not thought of shooting Jiang Tong. In the end, he had even guessed that Jiang Tong had lied. She had tampered with the gun, so she was not afraid at all! However, the facts proved that he was wrong! The gun could be used! Jiang Tong was facing a gun that could kill her at any time, and she was fearless! She had the confidence to control everything!
Pada!
Old Ghost threw the gun on the coffee table and slid it in Jiang Tong’s direction. This was his way of expressing his respect. Not only did he fear and admire Jiang Tong, but he also had some trust in Jiang Tong!
“Miss Jiang, it’s hard for me to imagine what you’ve been through. According to the information… you’re only 22 years old, right?” Old Ghost looked at Jiang Tong and asked. At the same time, he subconsciously clutched his chest. His wound hurt.
“Many people have the same doubts about me,” Jiang Tong smiled.
“Was Leon really killed by Shao Ying?” Old Ghost asked Jiang Tong directly. He really wanted to know the truth of this matter.
“Have I ever lied to you?” Jiang Tong asked Old Ghost.
“But… there’s no reason to. Leon has never met Shao Ying before, so they have never interacted before,” Old Ghost asked again.
“Just because they have never interacted with each other before does not mean that they don’t know each other. The Poppy Group knows everything that you’ve done for the Shao family all these years. You’ve also reported it to them and only did it after getting permission. Leon knows everything…” said Jiang Tong.
“But…” Old Ghost still didn’t believe her.
“Leon threatened Shao Ying before,” Jiang Tong said directly.
“What?” Old Ghost was stunned. He couldn’t figure it out at all, and now he was even more stunned. Why would Leon threaten Shao Ying?
“What’s going on?” Old Ghost wanted to know the truth even more. He was also suspicious. Although Jiang Tong didn’t lie about other things, this matter involved Shao Ying. Jiang Tong and Shao Ying were mortal enemies. It was possible that she had framed Shao Ying!
