48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1023: Threatening

Zhang Heng’s words silenced the entire garden.

The polite look on Mr. G’s face disappeared as well. Instead of answering Zhang Heng immediately, he looked at the traitor bodyguard at his feet and said to the latter, “You have been with me for three years. You know I hate traitors the most. Why would you do something like that to me? I’m very disappointed in you.”

“I know that I made a mistake, and I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I just want you to give me another chance to make up for my mistakes,” the traitor bodyguard pleaded.

“But what you have done is not a small mistake,” Mr. G said casually. “You were here the other day, and you witnessed Mr. Zhang Heng defeating all my men to complete the test. However, even if Mr. Zhang Heng performed so well due to your existence, I still couldn’t hand over this important task to him. In the end, lots of misunderstandings happened between us. We can’t even trust each other.”

“I…” The traitor bodyguard was left speechless.

“It’s not that I’m not willing to give you another opportunity, but you should’ve been very clear about how important it is for us to acquire the goods. In fact, without the goods, our plan can’t go on. How could I give you another chance?” Mr. G put down the teacup he held.

The traitor bodyguard looked panicked.

“In addition, I would like to remind you that you have asked the wrong person. Mr. Zhang Heng next to you is the key to the survival of our business. Begging him will be better.”

The traitor bodyguard’s hopes to live reignited. Immediately, he cast his expectant gaze on Zhang Heng. Before he could say anything, Zhang Heng said calmly, “I really like that phrase I heard while I was on the way here. We all need to pay for what we have done.”

After talking, Zhang Heng made a please gesture.

Mr. G squinted, not saying a word. He then drew the pistol from Director Zheng’s waist and fired at the traitor’s bodyguard’s head before everyone could react.

The latter’s body fell to the ground, the guard’s blood splattering at the corners of Zhang Heng’s clothes. After that, Mr. G pointed his gun at Feng Zi.

“Mr. Zhang, your heart is harder than I thought. What about her? I heard she helped you a lot tonight?”

“If you lay a finger on her, you will never get to see the memory encoder again.” Zhang Heng’s tone remained calm. However, everyone knew that he was threatening Mr. G., And it was no doubt that he would stick to his words.

“I hate that this matter is going in this direction,” Mr. G said. “Whether you believe it or not, I personally hate violence very much. However, sometimes, when the road to peace fails, we have to try to resort to violence.”

“When you say that your so-called road to peace is not going to work, does it mean that your request was rejected?” Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.

Mr. G said coldly, “Should I remind you? It was you who sent me an email saying that you want to talk about the memory encoder. I agreed to it. I even asked someone to pick you up at the station and invite you here. I agreed with all your requests, and I showed you my sincerity as well. On the other hand, you showed me zero politeness when you negotiated. Let me remind you that you are at my turf.”

“Well, I can see that you work very hard here,” Zhang Heng ignored the gun in Mr. G’s hand. He then lifted the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Feng Zi and himself before continuing.

“You are worried that I might hide the memory encoder when I returned to the first level. That’s why you sent your men to the station’s entrance to make sure I can’t play any tricks. While I was on the way here, your men took a detour to the traitor bodyguard’s residence. By killing his family, you indirectly warned me of what would happen if I go against you. After that, you blamed your bodyguard for the fact that you can’t trust me. The traitor bodyguard was hoping that I would show him mercy. After you found out that I didn’t sympathize with him, you decided to kill him and threaten my friend to threaten me indirectly. I guess that’s what going on right now.”

Zhang Heng paused and continued, “But unfortunately, the memory encoder is not with me right now. To be more precise, I will not bring it back to the first level until you complete my three requirements.”

“You left the memory encoder on the second level?” This was the first time Mr. G lost his temper tonight. He was so furious that he did not even realize that he knocked over his teacup.

He did not expect that Zhang Heng would take such a significant risk. He gave up the opportunity to bring back the memory encoder after he defeated so many enemies.

“You are right. This is indeed your turf. I thought about it too. So, it’s safer for me to leave it at the second level,” Zhang Heng said casually. “It turns out that I made the right decision.”

“You shouldn’t have done this. Where did you put the memory encoder on the second level? Is it safe? Does anyone else know…” Mr. G talked like a machine gun.

“Don’t worry. The federal police thought I had died in that fire.”

“But once you turn off the signal blocker, the tracking device in your head will tell the Shengtang Morgan Group that you are still alive.”

“Indeed. This is why you better arrange the operation for me as soon as possible,” Zhang Heng said.

Mr. G was amused. “You didn’t bring the memory encoder back with you, and you want me to remove the tracking device in you?!”

“Yes. You should do that if you still want to get your hands on the memory encoder,” Zhang Heng said.

Mr. G did not answer. Suddenly they heard an engine roaring outside the private garden. A red motorcycle was rushing towards them from the distant street. It did not slow down until it approached the garden.

The two bodyguards outside the garden stepped forward and attempted to stop the rider. When they saw who the rider was, however, they stopped moving unanimously. In the end, the motorcycle smashed the garden’s glass door. And the person stopped accelerating and braked right before it hit Mr. G’s table. The bike drew a semicircle on the ground and finally came to a stop.

Miss F took off her helmet with her mechanical prosthesis and threw it in front of Mr. G.

“I will explain this to you later.” Mr. G said.

Nevertheless, Miss F ignored him. In an emotionless tone, she said, “Code F has completed the task tonight, Mr. G.”
