Chapter 42 He might be a paper tiger

Max and Alice couldn't figure it out. In their opinion, there is nothing special about these two people and there are a lot of people like them in Hua City. Their usual "job" is to collect debts from people's homes, but they basically couldn't collect anything. Almost everything they need to do is just keeping up the show and making gangs look more aggressive during fights.

To put it nicely, they are gang members, and to put it bluntly, they are just street urchins. Not many people would know them.

Max thinks for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Now we don't know why Alex contacted them, but he must have his own purpose. Don't worry, just keep following him, and we will know it sooner or later.

Also, we know that the car Alex is driving now belongs to Mr Lian. We can't take the initiative to contact him now, but we can find out from the side.

Alex must continue to monitor him. In this way, if we want to find out about Mr Lian's situation from the side, we have to split into two groups. This is the best way."

Hearing what Max says, Yang Shu says immediately, "I'll go."

Max nods and he thinks so in his heart. After all, Alice is a girl and It is too dangerous and inconvenient for her to go alone.

Alice purses her lips. In fact, she also wants to go, but she knows that Max would not let her go.

Max instructs,

"Investigate from the side and never be discovered. Once discovered and let Alex know, he will definitely give up this purpose with his vigilance, and then we will go in vain.

And I have a hunch that Alex's purpose this time will definitely let us discover something."

Yang nods heavily.

…

After Alex finishes explaining to Mr Lian, he leaves. He does not return to the hotel, nor does go to the "new residence" to look for the man. Instead, he begins to wander around Hua City. In the past two days, he kept replaying the situation of the car that night in his mind. At first, he thought he was suspicious, but he couldn't help but think of it, which made him truly care. So he wants to see if anyone is really following him right now.

If someone is following him, who is this person? Is he Tom's backup? What is the purpose of following him?

Unfortunately, after wandering around for more than two hours, Alex finds nothing, but he does not relax his vigilance. He believes in his intuition that there must be something wrong with the car that night.

When Alex drives around, Yang has already arrived near Mr Lian's place. After waiting for a long time, he sees Mr Lian coming back from outside. In the evening, Mr Lian goes out again.

Yang notices that Mr Lian was holding a lunch box in his hand.

"Is he going to deliver food to someone?" Yang says to himself.

Then Yang follows Mr Lian, and the more he follows him, the more excited he becomes, because he finds that Mr Lian is very vigilant and looks around from time to time, which means that he doesn't want others to know what he does. Yang feels that he would definitely make a major discovery this time.

The two of them come to the place where Simon is imprisoned, one in front and one behind. Yang sees Mr Lian looking around from a distance and enters a room. Yang is not in a hurry and he plans to wait for Mr Lian to leave first before going in.

Mr Lian doesn't find that he is being followed. After entering the house, he naturally unties the rope for the two people. After this period of time together, the three of them are familiar with each other.

Mr Lian lit a cigarette and says to the two people who are eating lunch, "He told me that the matter is almost done."

Simon gets stunned for a moment and doesn't say anything, but his eating speed obviously slows down.

Seeing this, Mr Lian asks, "Are you worried that he won't let us go peacefully at the end?"

Simon hesitates and nods.

"Indeed, it is possible that he said this to stabilize you. What if he chooses to silence you after his matter is done?"

The woman watches the two people talking without interrupting and continues to eat.

Mr Lian frowns since he knows that Simon's worry is not unreasonable. He also has this worry, but there is nothing he could do. Looking at the woman who is eating voraciously, he asks,

"Are you not worried at all?"

The woman looks up at him and answers with a slightly excited tone, "Just a death, What are you afraid of?"

Mr Lian frowns even more when he hears her words, "No wonder he said you are super crazy."

After saying that, Mr Lian does not intend to pay more attention to the woman, looks at Simon and says, "Then do you have any good ideas?"

"Yes, but you will definitely not agree." Simon responses.

As soon as Mr Lian hears what Simon is talking about, he shakes his head and stops,

"No, you two are alone and can run away as fast as you could, but I can't."

Simon is helpless, "Then there is no other way, we can only wait and see what his mood is later."

After Simon says this, the room becomes extremely quiet, with only the sound of the woman eating. After a while, the woman finishes her meal, wipes her mouth casually, and says,

"Relax, I don't think he will do that."

"Why? Do you know him well?" Simon turns his head and asks curiously.

The woman thinks for a moment and responses, "No, I don't know him well, but I just feel that he won't kill anyone."

"What? Are you crazy? holy shit..." Simon screams loudly and sneers, then looks at the woman and asks, "He won't kill anyone? It is totally a joke. Do you know that if I hadn't reacted quickly that night, I would have died a long time ago?"

The woman retorts,

"Are you sure it was your quick reaction? Or it is a fact that he did hold the hammer back on purpose? I don't know what your situation was at the time, but I think if he really wanted to kill you, you couldn't avoid it."

Lao Li looked at the woman and asked, "Do you mean he hasn't killed anyone, he just wants to scare us?"

The woman nodded, then told the two about the situation at the time, focusing on the fact that Chen Xiao knocked the hammer to the ground.

Mr Lian thinks of the scene when he met Alex at home. The more he thinks about it, the brighter his eyes become. Then he told the two about Alex's visit to his home, and then says happily,

"If we look at it this way now, he might be a paper tiger. We are scaring ourselves."

Seeing that Mr Lian gets a little excited, Simon pours a basin of cold water on him,

"Don't forget the person he asked me about and I am pretty sure that person is a serious murderer. He knows such a person and is likely to be the same as that person."

"...Fuck you."
