Chapter 253 Where is she?
"Who?" Liu Xiong and Liu Jialing asked in unison.
Ma Junjie glanced at the two of them and slowly spoke, uttering two words, one by one.
"Zhang...Qiang!"
"Zhang Qiang?" Carina Lau asked, puzzled.
"And who is Zhang Qiang?"
Ma Junjie quickly explained
"Sister Liu, Zhang Qiang is Jiang Hao's cousin. He also works at Blue Moon and is the deputy captain of Blue Moon's security team."
"Sister Liu, if someone really did take Bingbing away on purpose, the first person I suspect will definitely be Zhang Qiang!"
Upon hearing this, Carina Lau turned to look at Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong remained silent, slowly fixing his gaze on Ma Junjie.
"Ah Jie, tell me, why him?"
Ma Junjie gritted his teeth, explaining that after arriving at Blue Moon, his sudden appointment as the security team captain had incurred Zhang Qiang's wrath.
Some friction occurred afterward.
Especially since I had just started using Blue Moon,
In the park, he and Liu Bingbing were surrounded by masked men wielding machetes. If he hadn't reacted quickly and nimbly, they might have been killed.
There's also the matter of Liu Xiaoshan. Ma Junjie caused Zhang Qiang to lose a huge sum of money, and Zhang Qiang also had two fingers chopped off by Jiang Hao.
All of this suggests that Zhang Qiang is highly likely to retaliate.
"Uncle Liu, Zhang Qiang is a vengeful and ruthless man with a stubborn personality. He must have been unwilling to accept defeat, so he took advantage of Bingbing being alone and secretly did it!"
After hearing this, Liu Xiong frowned even more deeply. His face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
No one knows what he's thinking.
Carina Lau, however, could no longer contain herself.
She looked anxious and spoke urgently to Liu Xiong.
"Dad, don't think about it anymore, I believe what A-Jie said!"
"Bingbing has a regular lifestyle and no enemies or grudges against anyone, so no ordinary person would harm her."
"The current situation is very likely as A-Jie said: someone wanted revenge and kidnapped her!"
"Dad, hurry! Time is of the essence. We need to get to Blue Moon and bring Zhang Qiang here to get all the answers!"
Seeing that Liu Xiong still showed no sign of moving...
Carina Lau let out a heavy sigh.
"Dad, if you're not going, I'll go by myself!"
After saying that, Carina Lau turned around and rushed outside.
"Stop!" Liu Xiong suddenly shouted.
Carina Lau stopped, feeling helpless, but her face was full of resentment.
Seeing Liu Jialing's expression, Liu Xiong glanced at her and said slowly and deeply,
"Look at you, you're still so impulsive."
"The more urgent the situation, the more we need to remain calm."
"It's not that I don't trust A-Jie, I'm just thinking of a better way!"
Upon hearing this, Carina Lau's expression instantly relaxed.
"Dad, you..."
Liu Xiong didn't say anything more. Instead, with a sullen face, he took out his phone from his pocket, found a number, and dialed it.
"Beep beep beep," after a short wait, the call connected.
Liu Xiong spoke succinctly and coldly, saying only one sentence.
"Jiang Hao, bring your cousin Zhang Qiang to my house, immediately!"
After finishing his sentence, Liu Xiong hung up the phone without hesitation.
As soon as the phone call ended, the living room fell into a deathly silence.
As if by prior agreement, everyone fell silent.
The clock on the wall ticked away, each tick like a blow to the hearts of the three of them.
About twenty minutes later, Aunt Zhang rushed over, beaming with joy, to report.
"Master, Miss, Mr. Jiang has arrived with someone outside. Should we...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiong roared.
"Let them in quickly!"
"Yes, sir!" Aunt Zhang replied loudly, glancing at Ma Junjie in the process.
A few dozen seconds later, two dark figures walked through the gate.
Ma Junjie looked up.
Jiang Hao grabbed Zhang Qiang by the back of his collar, dragging him in like a listless chick.
Zhang Qiang's hand was still wrapped in bandages, and his face was deathly pale. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Hao kicked him to the ground.
"Kneel down!" Jiang Hao shouted sternly, raising his foot to kick him again.
Zhang Qiang was terrified. He fell to his knees with a thud, his face contorted in a grimace, and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong, spare me! I don't know anything!"
"What did I do wrong? Xiong-ge, I really don't know!"
Liu Xiong sat on the sofa, not even lifting his eyelids, his tone as cold as ice.
"You're Zhang Qiang?"
"Brother Xiong, I... I don't know anything, I..." Zhang Qiang stammered, stammering.
With a "bang!", Jiang Hao kicked again, cursing.
"Damn it, Xiong Ge is asking you a question, so you better answer it properly!"
Zhang Qiang grimaced in pain, took a few steps, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Brother Xiong, I am Zhang Qiang, my name is Zhang Qiang."
Liu Xiong then raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qiang.
When Zhang Qiang met his gaze, he was instantly startled by those cold eyes and his body trembled.
"Zhang Qiang, I'm asking you, where is Bingbing?"
"Bingbing? Which Bingbing?" Zhang Qiang looked bewildered, his eyes widening in horror.
"Brother Xiong, I don't know any Bingbing!"
"I really don't know him..."
Before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed towards Zhang Qiang.
"You dare pretend you don't know!"
With a "bang!",
Carina Lau could no longer hold back and rushed forward to kick Zhang Qiang hard in the back.
He roared with red eyes.
"My niece, Liu Bingbing! Did you arrest her? Tell me!"
Zhang Qiang was kicked and fell to the ground, howling in pain, but shaking his head like a rattle drum.
"I really don't know her! Xiong-ge, I'm innocent!"
"My brother Hao just chopped off my finger and locked me in the storage room for a whole day and night before I was finally released. I haven't had a chance to go out at all!"
As he spoke, Zhang Qiang seemed to remember something and quickly looked up at Jiang Hao and called out.
"Brother Hao, please explain this to me! You really did lock me up!"
"Brother Hao, say something! I'm your cousin..."
Jiang Hao was stunned.
Through the conversation just now, he finally understood the reason for the matter.
It appears to be Carina Lau's niece, who is also Lau Hung's granddaughter. She has gone missing and has been abducted.
This is no ordinary matter; it is extremely serious.
Jiang Hao dared not easily intervene.
He thought for a moment, but instead of speaking up for Zhang Qiang, he suddenly pulled a gleaming dagger from his pocket.
He crouched down and patted Zhang Qiang's cheek with the dagger, his tone vicious.
"Zhang Qiang, if you really did something so stupid, you should turn back now and confess immediately."
"Do you know who Xiong Ge is? Don't make things worse. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to help you, but I'll also suffer because of you!"
"Quickly tell me, where is Bingbing!"
"Still being stubborn? Believe me, I'll chop off your other three fingers too!"
Upon hearing that last sentence, Zhang Qiang was so terrified he wet himself.
He instinctively pulled his hand, still bandaged, behind his back.
He only had two fingers chopped off.
If I chop three more, my hands will be ruined.
More importantly, he completely believed that Jiang Hao was the kind of person who was capable of doing such a thing.
"Waaah..." Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang actually started to cry.
However, he still gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Waaah... I don't know, I really don't know! Waaah..."
Jiang Hao was stunned, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.
He frowned, a question forming in his mind.
He knew Zhang Qiang too well; that guy was a complete coward. Last time, after being kicked by him, he confessed everything about killing Liu Xiaoshan.
Now that we're threatening him with a dagger, he still dares to be stubborn. Could it be that he really didn't do it?
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly tense, and Liu Xiong's face became more and more gloomy. Even Liu Jialing hesitated. Could it really not be Zhang Qiang who did it?
Just then, Liu Xiong slowly stood up and pulled out a black pistol from somewhere.
The clicking sound of the gun being cocked was particularly jarring in the quiet living room.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Jiang Hao walked step by step to Zhang Qiang, the dark muzzle of a gun pressed against Zhang Qiang's temple, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
"I'll only count to three. If you don't speak, you're dead." Liu Xiong's voice was terrifyingly calm.
"three……"
Zhang Qiang's pupils dilated instantly, large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and his lips trembled, but he still couldn't utter a word.
"two……"
Liu Xiong's finger was already on the trigger. Everyone in the living room held their breath. Jiang Hao clenched his fists nervously, his palms sweating.
"one……"
Just as the last word was about to be uttered, Ma Junjie's phone suddenly rang with a "ding," indicating an unfamiliar text message.
He instinctively pulled out his phone, and the moment the screen lit up, he saw the text message.
His pupils constricted sharply, and he almost roared out the words.
"Uncle Liu, stop!"
