The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Scapegoat

"Kch..."

Chuchu made a throat-slitting gesture.

’Just as I thought!’

Hearing this, Jiang Xinghai immediately shook his head. "They’re my friends. I will not agree to you killing them." ƒreewebɳovel.com

He didn’t tell Chuchu that he was the reason the Ye Family was investigating the Dark Moon Dagger.

"How about you owe me a favor for this?" Chuchu said softly.

"I hate owing people favors more than anything," Jiang Xinghai said, looking troubled.

"Then unless you kill me, I won’t stop the mission," Chuchu said, looking at Jiang Xinghai quietly.

Jiang Xinghai shook his head. "You know I won’t kill you. But you don’t have to stop your mission entirely. You could just give them a bit of a warning. What do you think?"

"I already failed the mission to kill you. If I fail this one too, I’m afraid my father will suffer greatly because of me. I can’t take that risk," Chuchu said, shaking her head wistfully.

"Speaking of the mission to assassinate me, since you failed, didn’t the client say anything?" Jiang Xinghai asked, following her train of thought.

"It was strange. When I reported the failure truthfully, he immediately terminated the mission to kill you. And what’s more, he sounded almost... relieved. To this day, I still don’t understand why," Chuchu explained honestly.

Jiang Xinghai fell silent.

’This black-robed Mr. Long... what is he really after?’

’I’ll probably have to find the answers through Chuchu.’

’Of course!’

’My Third Senior Sister, Zhao Linglong, is still in the Imperial City investigating for me. She’s bound to find some leads!’

"This is a tough situation."

Jiang Xinghai couldn’t help but feel troubled as well. "If I let you kill them, my conscience won’t be clear. But if I stop you, your father will suffer... Let me think..."

"I have an idea," Chuchu said suddenly.

"Let’s hear it," Jiang Xinghai said, looking up.

"First, the Ye Family needs to stop their investigation into the Dark Moon Dagger. Second, don’t you know the Disguise Technique? You can find two scapegoats. And finally, have the Ye Family move away from here overnight," Chuchu analyzed seriously.

"That’s a good plan," Jiang Xinghai nodded.

Chuchu might look like just a woman, but she possessed the combat strength of a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster and a sharp mind to boot.

"Then you’d better start making arrangements. I have to report back with their bodies before dawn," Chuchu reminded him.

"You have accomplices here in Jizhou?" Jiang Xinghai’s brows furrowed.

"No."

Chuchu shook her head. "My associate is in Central State. I’ll head over there tonight."

"Alright then. Follow me." Jiang Xinghai led Chuchu straight to a park a kilometer away.

In the center of the park was an artificial lake and a pavilion.

Under the pavilion stood two women with grave expressions—Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong.

After Jiang Xinghai made the introductions, the three women were acquainted and agreed to Chuchu’s proposed solution.

However, Ye Zhiqiu’s and Mi Hong’s gazes remained fixed on Chuchu.

’After all, this was the woman who had come to kill them!’

’If Jiang Xinghai hadn’t shown up, who knows how long they would have had to hide here.’

"Dropping the investigation into the Dark Moon Dagger is fine, and moving out overnight is simple enough. But as for the scapegoats... we can’t just kill innocent people, can we?" Ye Zhiqiu said, shaking her head after a moment of thought.

Jiang Xinghai agreed with her. "Leave it to me," he nodded.

A moment later, he dialed Ma Long’s number.

"Brother Hai, Leopard got the videos and photos of Miss Meng from Niu Zhen. I’ll bring them over to you," Ma Long reported.

Jiang Xinghai cut to the chase. "Ma, from the scumbags you rounded up last night, are there any young women still alive?"

"Yes, more than one. They have good figures, but their faces are so-so, not good enough for you, Brother Hai. Besides, these women are vicious and cruel. They’ve kidnapped a lot of children. I just pried the whereabouts of the kidnapped kids out of them and was about to... dispose of them."

Ma Long explained in one breath.

"In that case, all of them deserve to die!"

Jiang Xinghai despised human traffickers more than anyone. "Since you have the whereabouts of the kidnapped children, you and Leopard are responsible for getting them back to their parents. Make sure you do a perfect job, you hear me?"

"Don’t worry, Brother Hai. I guarantee it," Ma Long nodded.

"Now, find me a woman from that group who is around one-hundred-seventy centimeters tall, with measurements of 96-66-96, and about twenty-five years old," Jiang Xinghai instructed Ma Long, glancing over at Mi Hong.

"What a coincidence, we’ve got one just like that!" Ma Long laughed.

"Then find another one, around one-hundred-sixty-five centimeters tall, with measurements of 90-60-90, about twenty-three years old," Jiang Xinghai added, now looking at Ye Zhiqiu.

"There’s one who’s pretty close. I’ll bring her over for you to see," Ma Long replied, not entirely certain.

Jiang Xinghai then told Ma Long their location and ended the call.

At the scene, aside from Chuchu, both Mi Hong and Ye Zhiqiu were hugging their arms, not daring to look directly at Jiang Xinghai.

’What was happening?’

’Was Jiang Xinghai’s eye really that sharp?’

’He’d only glanced at them once, yet he’d read their measurements with perfect accuracy!’
