Chapter 372
The black figure said, "The real Jeremy Lin was only brought herefor one time, and that was a week
ago. At that time, we tookaphoto and took him away immediately. The rest of the time, wewere just
waiting here for someone to find us" "What? Jeremyhaslong been gone?" Fade said. He looked
surprised and thensaidina deep voice, "Then, what's the purpose of all of you here?" "1, I don't know.
We are just his minions. We listen to the ordersof our superiors and wait here. The longer we delay
this, the better," the black figure said. "Delaying the people who are here, anddelaying me. Why is
this..." Fade frowned and thought about thepurpose of these guys. Suddenly, he realized something.
Theyhadsent a picture of Jeremy to Quin Lin, informing her that Quinmustget here within three days.
Obviously, their target was Quin, not him. Fade started to tremble when he thought about this.
"Ohmywife, my wife, will you be in danger?"he thought to himself. "Mywife is now in town and is
protected by Big Brother Gu's people. Plus, she has the Sacred Figs amulet with Ice Silk that I
gaveher,so she should be quite safe" Fade thought in his heart. Right then, Wade and the rest of the
guys had arrived, panting. Whenthey saw the two black figures, they asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Chen,
are they the people you're looking for?" Fade shookhishead, and he was about to speak. However,
right at this moment, he realized something, and a bulb lit up in his mind. The superiorof these guys
had ordered them to delay the people who werehereat the village, and their target was Quin. There
seemed tobeacontradiction in this matter. Under normal circumstances, Quin
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould definitely come to this place to look for her elder brotherafter finding these clues. However, these
two men wantedtoholdoff the people who had come over, so they were supposedtodelayQuin, yet their
target was also Quin. Therefore, this was obviously not logical There was only one explanation for
thiswhole situation. The other party was able to confirmthat theperson coming to this small village was
someone else, andnot Quin. Therefore, they had to delay the person who was hereandthen get hold of
their real target, Quin. Thinking of this, Fade, whofelt relieved from the tense situation, became nervous
again. At the same time, his thoughts were spinning rapidly. If his opponentwas able to confirm that
Quin was not coming to this small village, then they must have some other tricks up their sleeves,
whichthey were waiting to reveal. Recalling the encounters of hiswifeand himself, Fade became
worried. He could only thinkof oneperson... Big Brother Gu. All their clues were given by BigBrother Gu.
Old Man and Wade were also the people sent byBigBrother Gu. In addition to that, when Quin said that
she wantedtojoin the search, it was Big Brother Gu who said that it wastoodangerous for her and asked
Quin to stay behind. So withall these facts, Big Brother Gu certainly knew the man behindthis, orhe
himself could even be the man behind this. Quin was supposed to be protected by Big Brother Gu's
people at thistime. At the thought of this, Fade's heart skipped a beat and he becameeven more
concerned. He immediately took out his cell phoneanddialed his wife's number. The sound from the
other end indicatedthat the phone was off, and Fade's heart sank once again. Hebecame even more
worried. He gritted his teeth and saidfiercely, "Fairman Gu, it will be good if nothing happened to my
wife. Otherwise, I'll tear you into pieces." In the meantime, Wadehad
come over with his men. He didn't notice the strange lookonFade's face and he asked, "Mr. Chen,
would you like to lookaround near this place again? I." Before he could finish hissentence, Fade's
countenance suddenly changed. He staredat Wade coldly and replied, "Tell me, what task did Big
Brother Guarrange for you?" Hearing Fades sudden question, Wade wasverysurprised. He instinctively
wanted to fight back, but he calmeddown and said with a smirk, "Mr. Chen, I was given the taskof
protecting your safety! Why are you asking this question?" "Tell the truth!" Fade shouted coldly, with a
flash of fierce anger inhiseyes. Wade was shocked and a strange light flashed in hiseyes. "Mr. Chen,
you know all about this mission! I'mreally tellingthetruth!" Fade snorted. He grabbed Wade's neck, and
spoke inacold voice, "Tell me, why did Fairman Gu ask you to followmehere?" "Mr. Chen, 1, I didn't.."
Wade kept on denying. Fade'seyeswere full of hatred, and he squeezed hard on Wade's neck,
causinga creaking sound. His head began to turn red fromthe pressure, his skin turned red, and then
purple-red. Blood started tofill hiseyes. Wade could sense the arrival of death right then, andhecouldn't
stand it anymore. He shouted in horror, "Mr. Chen, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything." Fade let go of
Wade, andhethrewhim on the ground. Then, Fade glared at himand said, "Tell methen!" Wade reached
out to feel his neck and said in a hurry, "BigBrother Gu gave me the task of delaying you as much as
possible. I should delay Mr. Chen for some time here." "Delaying me again!" Fade felt a sense of fear.
He had confirmed his earlier guesses. Their target was his wife, Quin. That was why they were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconstantly trying to find ways to delay him here. Thinkingof this, Fade couldn't help but become anxious
and impatient. He couldn'tcare about these guys anymore. He launched out a stronggust of
energy and knocked out everyone on the spot. Then, he launchedhimself like a swift shadow and
rushed quickly down the mountain. At this moment in the conference roomon the topfloorof The Grand
Royal Hotel in the center of Fuma Town, FairmanGuwas sitting right in the middle, with a happy smile
on hisface. Observing the discussions that investors were having aroundhim, his smile became even
more pronounced. Lifting up his wrist andlooking at the time on his watch, Fairman thought to himself,
"It'sbeen three-plus hours. Quin has been taken away by them, andmy task is completed." "As long as I
get the reward they promised, I will no longer need to live in this small town anymore. I'mgoingto the
big cities, be it Long City or Capital City," Fairmanthoughtto himself. He was extremely excited.
Thinking of his future, hecouldn't help but smile even wider. As for the investigationteamswho were
arguing with each other in front of him, Fairmancouldn't care less about them. They were just a
fewsmall merchants. It was really ridiculous watching howthey werefighting to death for such a small
project When it was almost time, Fairman clapped his hands to calm everyone down. Then,
heannounced, "The time is up. Now, please submit your final quotations. The investigation teams
became nervous after hearinghis announcement. After all, there were about seven to eight teams who
were participating in the bidding this time, andtheywere all good. Any carelessness in the quotations
could meanlosing their chance to the other teams. "Chief Huang, youshouldgo first!" Fairman called.
Chief Huang nodded, and he wasabout to stand up to speak. Right at this moment, there was a
loudcrash, and the thick wooden door of the conference roomwas kickedwide open. Then, an angry
voice, like a wave, rushed in. "Fairman, come here at once!".
