"Brother Nan, do you think those cops might freeze the money in your account? If they freeze it, that wouldn’t be a small amount!" Huang Mao reminded.
Zheng Haonan frowned at those words, becoming genuinely worried. That was millions of dollars in his bank account, and if frozen, he would truly have nothing left. Moreover, those cops played both sides; anything could happen with them!
"Huang Mao, you’re right, those damn cops might actually do something like that. We can’t delay, hurry to the bank and transfer the money. There’s no one else now, just transfer it to your account. After all, you’re a smaller target, and those cops probably haven’t noticed you yet."
Zheng Haonan didn’t think too much about it, only focused on the money. It wasn’t a small amount; millions—which was his comeback fund for the future.
Huang Mao’s eyes flickered when he heard Zheng Haonan say this, secretly pleased, but outwardly he said hesitantly, "Brother Nan, transferring it to my account doesn’t feel right, you know? It’s not that I’m afraid of trouble; I just mean such a large sum, transferring to my account might be a bit..."
Zheng Haonan glanced at Huang Mao. He knew it wasn’t right, but he had no choice now. Better than having it frozen by the cops. Besides, this guy wouldn’t dare pull any tricks; otherwise, he’d have to watch his own neck.
Although these were his thoughts, Zheng Haonan still put on a trusting face and said, "Huang Mao, you’ve been with me for years, through thick and thin. I’m still very assured about you. Once this period is over, we’ll make a comeback, and you can be my second-in-command!"
Huang Mao glanced at Zheng Haonan, thinking to himself, that sounds great, but I’m afraid I won’t live to see it. Because there’s a mysterious woman behind them, if he couldn’t finish this task, he’d be done for. But if he did, it would be the end for Zheng Haonan.
Alas, fate toys with people. Right now, Zheng Haonan and Huang Mao had their respective plans. Zheng Haonan pretended to trust Huang Mao, offering attractive rewards, while Huang Mao aimed to complete the task assigned by the mysterious woman, hoping to survive. Even if he couldn’t be the boss, the one-million-dollar promise was enough to enjoy the rest of his life!
Under such threat and temptation, Huang Mao unwaveringly chose to betray Zheng Haonan, "Thank you, Brother Nan. I’ll stick with you loyally; don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you!"
"Hmm, I have faith in you. I’ve always wanted to promote you, which is why I only brought you out. You’re the person I trust the most. Go, get this done, and there’ll be no shortage of benefits for you in the future!"
Zheng Haonan stood up, picked up his wallet, and patted Huang Mao on the shoulder. He had to admit he was worried, but outwardly he had to maintain a look of trust.
Huang Mao took the wallet. Now, all of Zheng Haonan’s assets were in his hands. Although it was just a small wallet, to Huang Mao, it weighed heavily.
"Brother Nan, don’t worry. I’ll handle everything perfectly," Huang Mao said, suppressing his excitement and looking at Zheng Haonan with determined eyes.
Zheng Haonan nodded, "All the money from the cards is in there. The password is my birthday, you know, 701124. Since there’s a lot, you can make several transfers!"
"Got it, Brother Nan!" Huang Mao nodded after getting the password, and at that moment, Zheng Haonan didn’t notice Huang Mao’s other hand slowly reaching into his pocket.
"Alright, go handle it, come back quickly, and don’t let the cops find out!" Zheng Haonan patted Huang Mao on the shoulder.
Huang Mao nodded without speaking. Suddenly, the hand in his pocket jerked out, revealing a cold knife, stabbing it mercilessly into Zheng Haonan’s abdomen!
Zheng Haonan’s eyes widened, glaring at Huang Mao, slowly reaching to strangle Huang Mao’s neck.
Huang Mao’s face twisted into a terrifying snarl, withdrawing the knife and stabbing Zheng Haonan’s abdomen repeatedly, a gush of bright red blood soaking the upper garment!
Zheng Haonan couldn’t utter a full sentence. His massive body fell with a crash, glaring with bulging eyes, blood continuously gushing from his mouth, looking utterly unwilling.
Though Zheng Haonan was dead, Huang Mao’s heart still pounded relentlessly. The bloodstained knife trembled in his hand and clattered to the ground!
With bloodstained hands, Huang Mao pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few deep drags, desperately trying to calm his overly tense nerves, mumbling, "Brother Nan, don’t blame me. I had no choice!"
Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure walked in!
Huang Mao turned around nervously, sensitive after committing murder.
"No need to be so tense, it’s me!"
The mysterious woman walked in, much calmer than Huang Mao.
Seeing the mysterious woman, Huang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ve done everything you asked."
He handed over the wallet to the mysterious woman, who glanced at the bank cards inside, her crimson lips curling into a slight smile as she said, "Well done, what’s the password?"
"701124!" Without much thought, Huang Mao told the mysterious woman the password.
"Hehe, very good!" The mysterious woman chuckled, took the bank cards, and tossed the wallet to the floor.
"I’ve completed the task. You said you’d keep this a secret for me. When will I get my one million? I’ve killed now; I can’t stay in Wancheng anymore. I need money to leave, and I’ll never set foot in Wancheng again!" Huang Mao said.
"Hehe, don’t worry, you’ll get your million, but..."
The mysterious woman’s eyes flicked with a hint of murderous intent. She reached for Huang Mao’s neck and, with a quick snap, broke it effortlessly, leaving him dead without a struggle.
The mysterious woman sneered, releasing her grip. Huang Mao’s body collapsed to the ground like a pile of meat, eyes wide open—another unwilling death.
"Keep it secret for me? Hehe, only the dead truly keep secrets for me!" The mysterious woman sneered and calmly left.
Soon after the mysterious woman left, Qi Manlin and her team arrived at Bali Village. The police cars stopped outside the village, not driving in.
A group of armed officers, led by Qi Manlin, headed to Zheng Haonan’s residence. Qi Manlin directed them to surround the three-story building, ensuring that no matter how skilled Zheng Haonan was, he couldn’t escape justice!
"Inspector Wang, take a team and climb over the wall to prepare for the arrest!" Qi Manlin instructed Inspector Wang from the criminal investigation team beside her.
