575 Useless Threats
The manager’s face was pale. He did not intend to speak. In fact, he no longer had any hope of living.
“Go to hell!” Zhang Rong roared with a twisted expression.
Deng Yu’s expressionless face had completely enraged him.
Even so, Zhang Rong’s trembling hand still could not press the button.
Zhang Rong wasn’t intimidating him. He understood that if he really pressed it, he would die as well.
The reason he was like this was because he was too afraid of death and wanted too much to live.
“Mr. Zhang.” Deng Yu suddenly sighed and looked at Zhang Rong.
“You don’t have to do this. I know you won’t do it. Even if you really want to perish together, it’s useless. Do you really think that I haven’t thought of this day after being in the Rongwei Group for so many years? You can press it and see if the explosives buried in the cement will explode,” Deng Yu said softly.
“You!” After hearing Deng Yu’s words, Zhang Rong suddenly felt a little helpless.
When the pufferfish encountered danger, it would turn into a thorny balloon, but when its thorns did not play a threatening role, it seemed a little ridiculous and comical.
This was Zhang Rong’s current situation.
Chu Ning also heaved a sigh of relief.
Her judgment was right. Deng Yu was indeed prepared.
Somehow, things had developed to this point. It was like there was a thread that was invisibly pulling everyone.
Zhang Rong was at a loss. Deng Yu looked at him and instantly smiled.
He had waited too long for this day.
It seemed simple, and it was easy to find Zhang Rong on the top floor after some near misses, but if there had been a mistake in any of the steps before this, he would have died.
“I… What should I do so that you won’t kill me?” Zhang Rong looked at Chu Ning and said dejectedly.
He tossed aside the red remote control in his hand like he was throwing trash.
“Hmm? We won’t kill you,” Chu Ning replied in a puzzled tone.
“No, Deng Yu, there’s a problem!” Chu Ning’s pupils constricted.
A very unrealistic conjecture spontaneously came to her mind.
Such a fact might be absurd, but it was most likely to be true.
“What is it?” Deng Yu looked at Zhang Rong, who was already under control. In his opinion, it was up to Chu Ning to get the information she wanted from Zhang Rong.
Deng Yu believed that Chu Ning was a person with a clear goal.
Moreover, he did not think that there would be any problems.
“It’s too smooth. Even if this is the result of your many years of planning, it’s too easy for us to come to Zhang Rong like this.” Chu Ning shook her head.
She also looked at Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong didn’t give Chu Ning the feeling of a mafia boss. The biggest obstacle in M City that Chu Yang and Chu Se faced was Zhang Rong. It didn’t make sense for her to have both luck and strength to subdue Zhang Rong so easily.
Even though all of this happened ingeniously and by coincidence, Chu Ning’s intuition told her that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
“Fifth Brother, have you seen Zhang Rong before?” Chu Ning asked Chu Yang.
“Yes, I have.” Chu Yang nodded.
“Hmm.” Chu Ning’s gaze fell on the camera more than ten meters away.
“We’ve been played,” Chu Ning said softly.
The southeastern corner of M City was separated by the longest river in the country. The river was more than 4,000 kilometers long and spanned more than half of the country. It was 200 to 300 meters wide at the narrowest part; at its widest, it was more than 1 kilometer wide.
On the observation deck of the pier, a slender-faced man in plain clothes sat on a chair. He looked at the turbulent river not far away and stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He was surrounded by more than a dozen people. Each of them had an unusually serious expression. They had their hands behind their backs and did not say a word.
Of course, right in front of the man was another man kneeling on the ground with a panicked expression.
He struggled, but his hands were bound by a strong hemp rope.
He wanted to scream, but his mouth was stuffed with white linen.
“Let him speak.” The thin man sitting on the chair spoke softly as he suddenly stopped stroking his chin. His gaze was no longer on the magnificent waves of the river, but on the man kneeling before him.
After he could speak, the man kneeling on the ground hastily spoke. “Zhang Rong, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn’t know about your existence. Please spare me. I… I can tell you everything I know. I’m still useful. I know a lot of things…”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s take it slow.” The skinny man chuckled.
His gaze was gentle, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
“I’ll ask and you answer, okay?” the skinny man continued.
