My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 170 - 170 170 Evil Group

170: Chapter 170: Evil Group?

170: Chapter 170: Evil Group?

Confused!

Wu Jie was startled.

He hadn’t expected Meng Sihua to not even spare his father-in-law, Tang Long!

The Mercedes sped along the road, lightning-fast, soon arriving at the old man’s rural courtyard.

As soon as she got out of the car, Tang Xiao said to Zhu Cui, who had just taken off her headphones:

“Later I’ll take you to meet your grandpa, then you can go to the field to pick some vegetables and bring them back.

Tonight, Tang Xin and the others will come over, and we’ll all see how good your cooking is, okay?”

Zhu Cui happily smiled and said, “Yes!

I’m best at making home-cooked meals!”

Wu Jie smiled faintly and didn’t say much.

Clearly, Tang Xiao didn’t want Zhu Cui to know too much.

A pure little sister just out of the mountains, it was heart-wrenching to let her know the dangers of the world.

By the riverside, in the pavilion.

Tang Xiao led Zhu Cui straight to Tang Pingde.

“Grandpa, Cui is a great hand at farm work back home.

I thought she could help you out in the vegetable garden!”

Tang Pingde looked at Zhu Cui with kind eyes and said softly:

“Good child, no matter what the past was like, now we are family.

Don’t be reserved here with your grandpa!”

“Mhm, mhm, thank you, sir!”

Zhu Cui quickly went to pour tea and water.

“Oh my, look at how clever you are.

Alright, alright, go to the vegetable garden.

When school is on break, remember to come help out at your grandpa’s place more often.

Xin’er and the others only know how to pick but have no idea how to manage!”

Tang Pingde chuckled and pointed towards the straw shed, “The basket, hoe, and sickle are all in the shed, just take them!”

“Mhm, mhm, then I’m off!”

Zhu Cui quickly left with a light step.

In the pavilion.

Tang Pingde’s smile faded, and he frowned as he sized up Wu Jie.

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly: “It’s nothing serious, just some scrapes.”

“Sit down and talk!”

After Tang Xiao and Wu Jie settled on either side, Tang Long spoke gravely:

“Dongzi and I had just driven not far from the residential area this afternoon when a sedan suddenly smashed into us.”

“I thought we were encountering a drunk or drugged driver at first, but as it turned out, gunmen suddenly started shooting from the windows.”

“If it weren’t for Xiao’s stubbornness back then in buying a bulletproof car and Dongzi’s quick reaction to immediately reverse and speed away, I probably would have been shot dead by now!”

The Mercedes bulletproof sedan, worth millions, had saved the lives of two people.

And at this point, all four eyes were on Wu Jie.

“Things got pretty lively on your end, huh!

I heard there was a big explosion?

What exactly happened?” Tang Pingde asked curiously.

Wu Jie murmured, “The situation was the same as Dad’s encounter, also a sedan with two gunmen, except at that time I…”

He started from getting out of the car and encountering Yu Lianping, and it was mostly the truth.

However, Wu Jie had replaced ‘darts’ with stones because, having just gotten off the plane, where would darts have come from?

Otherwise, there would have been a lot of explaining to do.

Moreover, those two gunmen and the four darts had already been burned to ashes by the fire, leaving no evidence behind.

“Why didn’t they perish together with you?” Tang Pingde was immensely curious.

Tang Long analyzed, “The fact that the explosion was followed by more explosions and combustion indicates that there were definitely a lot of weapons and ammunition inside the car.”

“They all had out-of-town license plates too, it seems they roamed here to commit the crime.

The driver was responsible for driving and guarding the weapons and ammunition, while the gunmen were responsible for the sneak attack, but why did the explosion only happen after you walked some distance away?”

Tang Xiao reminded, “Jie, think carefully, did that middle-aged man have any smart wearable devices on him?”

Wu Jie said, “He wore a black watch.”

“That’s it!”

Tang Xiao sneered, “Shock due to excessive blood loss.

Once the heart stops beating, no pulse is detected, and then the signal is sent to detonate, directly resulting in an on-the-spot explosion, destroying the body and erasing the evidence!”

“If at that time you’d taken the middle-aged man far enough away from the sedan, it would have also triggered the car to explode.

This is a classic case of ‘the fate of man and vehicle intertwined,’ and using high-tech means to strictly control the killer and driver is very much like the ‘Evil Group’s way of operating.”

“Damn it!”

Wu Jie cursed angrily, “Killing and arson and they still call themselves some damn ‘Group’?

Are they trying to cross over into the entertainment industry or what?”

Tang Long cursed, “Who cares what they’re called, in any case, we are the ones they have their sights set on now.

The two killers that ran off will definitely come back for another attempt.”

Tang Pingde’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Are you sure the assassins were hired by Meng Sihua?”

“Of course!

I even called him at noon, and he personally admitted it!”

Wu Jie said offhandedly.

“What?

He…

he answered your call?” Tang Long was astounded.

Tang Xiao curled her lips and sneered, “He made the call using a spoofing app.

He’s already fooled others several times with it.

I guess Meng Sihua will probably never answer calls from unknown numbers anymore.”

“He still expects to have a ‘later’?” Tang Long cursed loudly, “He’d better not show up in Tianyuan, or I’ll make him die without knowing how it happened!”

Tang Pingde said annoyed, “What are you going to do?

Just because the Meng father and son committed crimes, does that mean you have to commit crimes too?

Isn’t there another way?”

Tang Xiao shook her head.

“Using stolen cars with fake plates, disguising their appearances, both the hitmen and the vehicles are difficult to trace.

The two who attempted to kill Jie blew up on the spot, obliterating all evidence, and those who killed the father have definitely changed their appearances and vehicles by now.”

“After all, professional killers have strong counter-surveillance awareness.

To locate them is not easy; it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive, and what we lack the most right now is time.”

Tang Long added,

“This whole issue started because little Jie exposed the mole within the group, Dou Cheng, who, in seeking a more lenient treatment, confessed to Meng Changxin’s crimes of his own accord.

If he could be sentenced to a heavy punishment, it would benefit the group!”

“So I gave a helping hand behind the scenes, which led to Meng Sihua being unable to bail out his father.

Despite pulling many strings, he couldn’t save him, resulting in his hatred towards both of us as well.”

Tang Pingde remarked, “The business world is like a battlefield!

Truly, even a cornered rabbit will bite.”

“He’s no rabbit, he’s a rabid dog!”

Tang Long muttered curses, “Meng Changxin has more than one murder case on his hands, even a death sentence would be deserved.

And that brat Meng Sihua dares to vent his anger on us, he’s clearly insane!”

Tang Xiao analyzed, “From the standpoint of criminal psychology, when a person is under immense mental pressure, it’s easy for them to become extreme, twisting their moral compass and becoming paranoid, even mad.”

“Meng Sihua hiring murderers is just the first step in his madness.

If more pressure is applied, he will definitely do something even more insane, like offering a hefty sum for a jailbreak.”

Wu Jie laughed, “Then let’s apply the pressure, see just how crazy he can get!”

Tang Xiao gave Wu Jie a side-eye.

“Are you crazy?

You and dad are in danger of losing your lives at any moment.

Instead of thinking about how to catch the killers, you’re talking about putting pressure on Meng Sihua?”

Tang Long also expressed his confusion:

“He cares most about his father, Meng Changxin.

To pressure him, we need to target Meng Changxin!

But from the prosecution to the first trial and even to the final appeal, that’s a long time away.

Now it’s the holiday season, and Meng Changxin has food and shelter in detention, so what can you do?”

“You send me his criminal files, and I’ll take care of the rest.” Wu Jie lit a cigarette and smiled ominously, “Some people don’t need a beating to be made to live worse than death.”

“What the hell are you planning?” Tang Long suddenly asked loudly.
