Chapter 77: Du Long's Secret
12 min read2,889 words
He Yehong secretly sneered and took a sip, then ran after with a scream. Who knew that after Du Long ran a few steps, he suddenly stopped. He Yehong couldn't avoid it and crashed into Du Long's back. Du Long also screamed, and the two of them tumbled down the hill like a rolling barrel.
Their screams echoed as they rolled and tumbled until they finally stopped in a relatively flat area. He Yehong was already dizzy from the constant rolling, not knowing where she was.
Although the two were in a sorry state, they were not injured. Du Long took the opportunity to pinch He Yehong's chest, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't make a fuss, I saw Xia Hongjun. He was indeed secretly following you with ill intentions!"
He Yehong immediately held her breath. After a while, Du Long let go and said, "He's gone, you should quickly go down the mountain!"
He Yehong no longer dared to get too close to Du Long. She secretly cursed him as a hooligan and then ran down the mountain quickly.
This time, Du Long ignored her and ran up the mountain.
As he walked and stopped, he unknowingly entered deep into the mountains. The terrain ahead became more rugged, and the trees grew denser. Du Long suddenly stopped and shouted, "Hey, Xia Hongjun, stop playing hide and seek with me. I know you're there. I just saw your mother. I want to talk to you."
A voice came from the mountain, "What do you want to talk about? If you dare to touch my mother, I'll make the Black Gold Company and the entire Wuxi County government bleed to death! Don't doubt my ability!"
Du Long slowly moved forward and said, "Do you think I'm Li Wuwei's man? You're wrong. I'm a member of the special task force sent by Yuming City. My name is Du Long."
Xia Hongjun sneered, "So what if you're from the special task force? Soon you'll all leave, and everything will return to the way it was. Li Wuwei will be unharmed, and the people who suffer will always be the common folk."
Du Long continued to walk slowly forward and said, "This time it's different. Mayor Ma of Yuming City is a good official. He will certainly stand up for the people of Wuxi County and remove the cancer that is Li Wuwei, and all those who have harmed the people of Wuxi County!"
Xia Hongjun sneered, "Stand still! If you take one more step, I won't be nice. What's a mayor of Yuming City? Wuxi County is already finished. Even if the Secretary of Tianshan Province came, it wouldn't help. Get off the mountain quickly, or I'll shoot you."
Du Long smiled, "You won't do it. Your coworkers say you're a good person, and your mother firmly believes you didn't kill anyone. You can't let them down."
Xia Hongjun sneered, "That's because they haven't seen my true face. Otherwise, they wouldn't say that. I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. Go away."
Du Long said, "Go? Where can you go? Unless you plan to cross the border and escape to a foreign country, where can you hide? Maybe you don't care, but have you thought about your mother? She will have to bear the stigma of being the mother of a wanted murderer. How does that sound?"
Xia Hongjun fell silent. Du Long looked up for a while and suddenly said, "Xia Hongjun, how old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? That woman just now was quite good, big breasts and a big butt, good for having children. Why don't you just take her to Myanmar or Vietnam? You two can be a pair of wild lovers."
Xia Hongjun angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking! If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"
Du Long said, "I know what I'm saying. Her name is He Yehong, right? She said you kidnapped her, but I didn't see any signs of her being tied up. How did you bring her up the mountain? When I was close to her, I smelled the scent of recent intimacy on her. How can a good man like you bully a weak woman?"
Xia Hongjun sneered, "Talking nonsense. I don't want to deal with you. If you can keep up, follow me, but be careful not to get lost in the mountains and be eaten by a leopard!"
Du Long said, "Xia Hongjun, are you really going to force yourself and everyone around you into a corner? Come back with me. As long as you help us dig out Li Wuwei and his protectors, I guarantee you will receive a fair trial. You only committed manslaughter, and it was in a chaotic situation. Find a good lawyer to defend you, and you might be out in a few years."
Xia Hongjun seemed to be swayed by Du Long's words, or perhaps to clear his name, he said, "I didn't kill anyone. That guy died mysteriously. If you can help me find out how he died and clear my name, I'll believe you."
Du Long raised an eyebrow and said, "Can you guarantee it? Swear on your mother's life that you really didn't kill anyone?"
Xia Hongjun said, "I'm not entirely sure... I haven't touched a gun in many years, and the guns at the mine are very inaccurate. Otherwise, I could have buried those hundreds of people in the mine... I only know that I shot the guy in the leg, which shouldn't be fatal, but if he bled out from an artery and didn't get timely treatment, it's not strange that he died. If you want me to believe you, you have to help me find out how he really died."
Du Long said, "Are you sure you only hit his leg?"
Xia Hongjun said, "I'm sure. The ten or so people I injured were all hit in the legs. Don't believe me? Go check."
Du Long said, "I will check. The problem now is that we don't trust each other. How can I trust you?"
Xia Hongjun said, "Is it enough that I didn't kill you?"
Du Long smiled, "How about this: we each ask each other a question, and we must answer honestly. Once we know a bit of each other's secrets, trust will naturally grow."
Xia Hongjun said, "Alright, I'll go first. Is the glasses you wear some kind of high-tech device? Why do you always wear them and can follow me so closely? Can you see me?"
Du Long said, "Although it's a bit of a loaded question, I'll be honest with you. These glasses are just something I bought from a street vendor. The reason I can see in the dark and spot your disguise is that my glasses were damaged, and my left eye can't tolerate strong sunlight, but at night, this eye can see everything hidden in the darkness. That's my secret! Are you satisfied?"
