Chapter 258 is a bit unusual.
Liu Xiong glared at Aunt Zhang, his brows furrowed, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
"Aunt Zhang, are you getting old and useless?"
"Bring Zhang Qiang! That brat who was locked in the storage room yesterday!"
The color drained from Aunt Zhang's face instantly; her lips trembled, and she stammered a question in return.
"Sir... you mean... that young man who came with General Manager Jiang yesterday?"
"Nonsense! Who else could it be but him?" Liu Xiong waved his hand impatiently.
"Hurry up and go, don't dawdle!"
"Okay...okay!" Aunt Zhang replied, turning around and walking unsteadily towards the backyard, her back view showing a hint of panic.
Ma Junjie stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed.
After he came in, he kept observing Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang seemed like a calm and capable person, but just now, she seemed a little flustered and nervous. To be honest, it was indeed a bit abnormal.
But saving lives was the priority right now, and besides, Aunt Zhang had already gone far away to get people, so Ma Junjie temporarily suppressed his doubts, took out Zhang Qiang's phone and handed it to Liu Xiong.
"Uncle Liu, look at this."
Liu Xiong looked at Ma Junjie with suspicion, then took the phone that was handed to him.
"What, what are you looking at?"
Ma Junjie said,
"Mobile text message!"
"This is Zhang Qiang's phone. The text message was sent to Zhang Qiang by someone called Monkey, who is Zhang Qiang's henchman at Blue Moon."
Liu Xiong nodded thoughtfully, then slowly read the text message.
Just a few seconds later,
After reading the text message, Liu Xiong suddenly looked up.
He cursed, pointing towards the storage room.
Holy crap!
"Zhang Qiang is a real genius. Yesterday, even with a knife to his head, he remained steadfast and refused to utter a word, fooling everyone!"
"Holy crap, bring him over later, I'm going to tear his mouth apart!"
At this moment, Carina Lau walked over and gently patted Liu Xiong.
"Dad, it's all thanks to Ah-Jie!"
"If he hadn't had a backup plan and detained Zhang Qiang, things probably wouldn't have been so simple!"
As she spoke, Carina Lau let out a breath.
"Dad, all we need to do next is get Zhang Qiang to tell us where Bingbing is, and then we can go and bring her home."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong nodded.
He fixed his gaze on Ma Junjie and said in an approving tone,
"Ah Jie, you are indeed very thoughtful."
"That bastard Zhang Qiang is too cunning!"
"You'll see my performance soon. Within a minute, I'll make him confess everything!"
Ma Junjie nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.
At the same time, he kept looking in the direction Aunt Zhang had left.
Two or three minutes later, Ma Junjie stood on tiptoe and asked,
"Uncle Liu, is that storage room you mentioned far away?"
"Why haven't Aunt Zhang and the others arrived yet?"
Liu Xiong was taken aback, his face turning ashen, and he gave a curt reply.
"It's not far, just wait a few more minutes."
Carina Lau was also extremely anxious, and said...
"Dad, Aunt Zhang has gotten old."
"She didn't understand what I was saying earlier, and now she's so slow at doing things. I think we should just let her retire as soon as possible."
Liu Xiong waved his hand, offering words of comfort.
"Don't rush, just wait a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Two minutes passed, then three minutes...
Ma Junjie felt something was off.
Carina Lau's patience also ran out.
The backyard was quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone anyone brought over.
Ma Junjie's unease grew stronger. He shook his head and said in a deep voice,
"Something's not right."
"Even if the storage room is 1 kilometer away, I can walk here no matter how slow I am."
Carina Lau started shouting and yelling.
"Oh, please, please don't let anything go wrong!"
"Dad, come on, take us there quickly, let's go see it ourselves?"
Liu Xiong could no longer contain himself; his face darkened, and he threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground.
"Let's go, let's go take a look!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them started running at the same time.
Carina Lau, wearing slippers, ran a few steps but fell behind. Unable to keep up, she was so anxious she was about to cry.
After running for only four or five minutes, the group gradually stopped.
Ma Junjie saw a warehouse-like storage room ahead, with two iron doors tightly closed, making it airtight.
Before he even got there, he felt a chill in his heart.
As they slowly approached, two bodyguards were leaning against the wall, smoking.
Sensing someone was coming, it quickly looked up.
Upon seeing that it was Liu Xiong approaching, he hurriedly pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, threw it on the ground, straightened up, and greeted him.
"Hello, Xiong Ge!"
Liu Xiong glared at the two men and asked in a stern voice,
Where are they?
The two bodyguards looked bewildered.
"Brother Xiong, the person is still inside. We've been guarding this place the whole time, we haven't left for even a moment."
"Bullshit!" Liu Xiong roared.
"Didn't Aunt Zhang come to bring people?"
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.
Upon hearing this, Carina Lau sensed something was wrong.
He cried out "Ouch!" repeatedly and slapped his thigh.
Ma Junjie quickly stepped forward, walked to the door, and pushed it forcefully.
The door was locked from the outside; the lock was heavy and looked intact.
His heart skipped a beat, and he shouted to the two bodyguards,
"Don't just stand there, kick the door open!"
The two bodyguards were startled and instinctively looked at Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong cursed angrily.
"Fuck you, kick it already!"
The two bodyguards dared not delay any longer and kicked the door hard.
The two bodyguards were tall and burly; after kicking him seven or eight times in succession...
With a loud bang, the lock fell off, and a large crack appeared between the two doors.
The two bodyguards then removed the lock and forcefully pushed open the door.
Ma Junjie and Liu Xiong rushed in quickly.
Upon looking,
He was immediately dumbfounded.
The room was empty; apart from a few pieces of old furniture covered in dust, there was no sign of Zhang Qiang.
"Where the hell are they?!" Liu Xiong roared at the two bodyguards, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Didn't you say you'd been watching over him? How come he's gone?!"
"Where? Where is it?!"
The two bodyguards had rarely seen Liu Xiongfa so angry.
He was terrified out of his wits, his legs were trembling.
One of them stammered in defense,
"Brother Xiong, we really haven't left. We've been watching over you since yesterday...we..."
Enraged, Liu Xiong rushed forward and grabbed the bodyguard by the collar.
He glared at him and cursed.
"You said you'd keep watch, but where are you now?!"
"Holy shit..."
Upon seeing this, Ma Junjie rushed over and removed Liu Xiong's hand.
"Brother Xiong, don't get excited!"
"Let me ask..."
Ma Junjie shielded Liu Xiong with his body, then asked the two bodyguards...
"Brothers, think about it carefully again. Has anything strange happened in between?"
"For example, has Zhang Qiang come out? Or, has anyone else been here...?"
The two bodyguards were very nervous.
However, upon hearing Ma Junjie's words, one of them suddenly raised his head abruptly.
He slapped his forehead hard, his eyes widening as he remembered something.
"Yes, I remember now!"
"This morning, just a short while ago, someone definitely came!"
"Who?!"
Everyone stared intently at the bodyguard, and simultaneously shouted out...
