When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 528: Narrow Roads for Enemies (Part 8)

Qiao Zi was a bit stunned. She had just been out for a bit and now he wanted to slip away again?

But she didn’t ask much about the big boss’s matters and quickly went to do her own tasks.

Before leaving, Sheng Jianan called Tang Yanqi, but there was no answer. Working at the embassy was different from other places, with surveillance everywhere, and making phone calls during working hours was inconvenient. Though Tang Yanqi didn’t answer, she sent Sheng Jianan a text message back.

Sheng Jianan quickly replied: [I need to go on a business trip for a few days; I’ll be back soon.]

Tang Yanqi didn’t ask much about Sheng Jianan’s work matters. Seeing he said he was going on a business trip, she didn’t think much of it and just replied, "Be careful on the road," and put her phone away.

At that time, Sheng Jianan boarded a flight to Thailand.

He had gone to great lengths to find the perpetrator from years ago, only to be told the person had cancer and was making the last desperate struggle in the hospital, unlikely to live much longer.

Sheng Jianan arrived at the destination without a word and went straight to the hospital.

It was a very small man, and beside him sat a woman, seemingly his wife, taking care of him.

Seeing Sheng Jianan and his group, the woman shrank backward towards the man in fear, and the man’s eyes showed panic too. But seeing his wife so scared, the man, who was already very weak, surprisingly pulled his wife’s hand, indicating to her, "Don’t be afraid, these gentlemen are here to see me. You go out first, okay."

The ward wasn’t large; there were two other beds beside them which clearly made it a three-person room, but only the couple was inside now, having been cleared out.

One could see that the man and his wife had a strong bond. Although he was weak to the extreme, the woman still treated him as someone she could rely on, and the man was willing to give her the last bit of protection.

When Sheng Jianan’s people found him, he already knew why they were there. Now, seeing Sheng Jianan, before he could speak, the man said, "I really don’t know who instructed me. I’ve told you all I know. If you want to hand me over to the police, just do it."

The man now looked as if he would draw his last breath tomorrow; handing him over to the police wouldn’t really hold any meaning.

Sheng Jianan narrowed his eyes, realizing that this was the man who drove into his beloved. Sheng Jianan dearly wished he could punch him, send him to see King Yan right now.

Of course, he wouldn’t be impulsive; this man was only a tool. What he wanted to know was who was behind it all.

Sheng Jianan sat down on a chair, his long legs crossed, fingers tapping on his knee, his gaze sharp and penetrating, though his tone was low and casual: "Tell me what you know, again."

"Yes... yes, someone found me back then and asked me to do something for him, and then he gave me a large sum of money. I was greedy and agreed. Later, I realized he wanted me to hit someone. He said the person had no family, that no one would pursue the matter, so... so I agreed."

Sheng Jianan exuded a fierce aura, and the temperature in the ward dropped significantly.

"Continue!"

"Later, I followed the plan, but unexpectedly a car suddenly rushed out from the side road, causing my car to veer off. I didn’t kill her, really didn’t. At the time, I was terrified, scared that the person in that car would recognize me, so I... I ran. Lat... later, with some luck, I called to ask for the money; the person also gave me the money. The condition was for me to run away; once I got the money, I just... left."
