Chapter 209 - 209 Fake Gun.

Sheng Ruming stared down on the man who was sitting on a chair trembling. As he seized up the man, his frown deepened more. The pathetic man was bound with ropes.

Then, Xiao Huang got beside the old man and pointed a gun on his head. At that sight, the man began to cry out aloud. "Please forgive me! Please! I didn't do anything!..."

The man shivered in fear and repeated several times. Sheng Ruming dragged a chair and sat before him. Then, he asked, "You are the person who has put poison in the car?"

As soon as the man heard, he shook his head. "No, I didn't. Rather I am not the man who did that but another person."

Sheng Ruming raised his hand and watched the time. He looked up and said, "You have five minutes. Explain everything. Or you will be charged with attempting murder…"

The man was dumbstruck. His face visibly paled when he heard Sheng Ruming. The man took a large breath and then said, "I am in charge of taking care of all the cars in Luo Mansion. Two weeks ago, a man came to me and joined my car maintenance shop. Two days ago, I was sick and told him to replace me for some hours. But afterwards, the man vanished!"

Sheng Ruming examined the man's facial expressions to see through if he was lying. He glanced at the moving lips of the man and raised his eyes, "So you suspect that… that man is the culprit? But then, why were you roaming around that car?"

As the question was asked, the man shook his head, "I was checking if all the cars were okay and if anything was wrong. Only when I went beside the car Miss Luo liked the most, I was captured."

Xiao Huang suspiciously glanced at the man. He turned at his boss and spoke while facing Sheng Ruming, "He doesn't have any valid information regarding that man. Not even a photo or anything else. His actions are very much like those swindlers and liars."

"I am not lying. It's true. If you don't believe me, why don't you go ahead and ask my people? There was a person named Gong."

Sheng Ruming and Xiao Huang exchanged glances. Both people stared at the man who was trying hard to be calm but the clatter of his teeth betrayed his complicated situation. 

Then Sheng Ruming stood up and nodded his head and in a few minutes, he left the room. When Xiao Huang turned at the man, his eyes were cold and distant.

"In a while, a painter will come. Say everything you want to that man. If the things are turned out to be lies, then… heh!" Xiao Huang pushed the pointed side at the man's temple. It looked like the man's brain would get blasted if he was to hear any kind of nonsense.

"I will! I will!... eh? No. I will speak the truths!"

"You should!" Then, Xiao Huang turned around and left the darkroom. After a while, a man came and freed the bound man from ropes. The flustered and tearful man immediately heaved a sigh in relief.

"Th… thank y-you." He staggered while speaking.

The guard who came didn't stay long and soon left. As soon as he became alone his facial expressions changed. The man turned around and kicked the chair he was on before.

Sheng Ruming observed everything. He witnessed everything from the surveillance room. While watching, he asked Xiao Huang, "The gun… why are you keeping it with you? We have come to another city. Don't bring trouble to yourself…"

In reply, Xiao Huang turned the gun at his head and dragged the trigger. Sheng Ruming saw in bewilderment that a cute little robotic chick came out and rubbed his bodyguard's forehead. After Xiao Huang removed his finger from the finger it went in.

"Boss, look. It's a recent invention from our company…" Sheng Ruming took the gun. As he felt the texture, he muttered in satisfaction.

"It looks like it is a real thing. Why didn't I know about it?" When he was asked, Xiao Huang looked embarrassed.

"Miss Ji has made several of them. She gave us some while she put some samples on the company's official product page. I don't know why you aren't aware…"

Sheng Ruming didn't say anything. As he felt the weight of the thing, he nodded in approval. "How many do you have?"

"Umm, every member of ours has one like this. Sometimes, it can save us from unnecessary trouble."

Sheng Ruming didn't put his attention to the monitor screen. "Give me a tissue."

"Oh, wait a second." Xiao Huang hurriedly left the room. Then after more than five minutes, he came back with a brand new tissue box. It was clear that he went to buy it personally.

Sheng Ruming took the box and wiped the gun with careful hands. From the side, Xiao Huang stared at him, following whatever Sheng Ruming was doing.

After the man was done, he raised the gun before the light and nodded. "It will be alright now that it's clean."

"Boss, what are you…"

Sheng Ruming put the thing in his pocket and replied, "I will be taking this." He didn't say anymore and left the room.

Xiao Huang turned his head away from the empty door. As he looked down on the tissue box, a heavy sigh leaked from his throat.

The man who was keeping an eye on the surveillance system took a new tissue and wiped his face. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Huang was glaring at him."AH?! Leader, sorry?!"

Sheng Ruming walked on the busy corridor of the hospitall in a good mood. It took only ten minutes for him to reach the hospital from that place. As he came before a room, his hands gently opened the door. "Honey, I have come, you must have waited for me a long time..."
