Chapter 682 - Third Brother (Part 2)

Gu Bai rubbed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. “Where did that person use to live? Where did he often hang out? Did he have any friends he was closer to? We may find a breakthrough from these areas first. Let’s wait and see. If they don’t contact us, then we can only call the police.”

Lu Yanbin nodded and turned to make a phone call.

Gu Bai leaned back against the sofa and saw the Scottish Fold Cat approach him and paw him, so he got up to feed it. He touched its head, his hands trembling a little. Xiao Le had nothing to do with this whole thing. In other words, he was of no value to those people, unless they wanted to keep him as a hostage. The worst case scenario would be… He closed his eyes. If Xiao Le left him again, he would really go crazy.

Qi Le woke up and found himself in a shabby room. To be exact, he was tied to a chair in the room. He was lost for a moment. Then, he recalled what happened the morning and cold sweat came dripping down instantly. His first reaction was that he had been brought into trouble by that idiot. He looked around and soon found another person tied to the chair beside him. He whispered, “Yi hang, Yi hang. Fuck, are you dead or alive? Fucking idiot, open your eyes for me now!”

“You’re awake?”

Qi Le immediately quivered and quickly looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the door being opened and in came two men. The man in the front walked to the round table and sat down, while the one behind stood beside him and said nothing. Qi Le sized them up in fear. The one in charge looked about 30 years old. He appeared boorish, with a scar on his left eye. He was wearing a black tank top and revealed his strong biceps that were covered in tattoos. He had a toughness that was hard to describe. The man beside him was tall and had a simple, honest-looking face. But his stern expression made him seem like someone who wasn’t to be trifled with. Qi Le’s heart instantly froze. He thought to himself that if they started fighting, his little body wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

The boss looked at him and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Zheng Xiaoyuan,” Qi Le spoke honestly and looked at him. “What about you, big brother?” The man couldn’t help squinting, his eyes glinting with a sharp light. Qi Le shrank back but decided to bite the bullet anyways. “Look, big brother. I don’t even know why you tied me up. I think you may have a bit of a problem with him. If you kill him, you will definitely not let me go. With my petite stature, there’s no way I can escape. I just want to know. If I am to die, I should at least know who killed me, right?”

The man didn’t expect him to be so honest and give such a thorough analysis. He was about to open his mouth when he suddenly saw the man on the other chair move. He turned to him immediately.

. His guess was about the same. He was rather moved; he had finally found a breakthrough, a chance to live!

P.S. I know I usually use ge for older brother. But ge can also be like “big bro” or “big brother” or to address someone superior, and I didn’t want to use Third Ge because it just sounds awful. Anyways, lesson learned, will stick with older brother, instead of ge from now on. Apologies for the switch!
