Ah Zhu’s footsteps were not fast because he was limping, but he did not stop. Just like his voice, he was always there.

“Maybe it’s because you were not sarcastic when you first saw me, or maybe it’s because when we first met, you called me Brother Ah Zhu. At that time, I thought that I had to treat you well and not let you down. It’s very strange, isn’t it? After all, you’re not the only person who calls me that.”

Jiang Yao still did not respond. Even though she was pointing a gun at Ah Zhu, she could not deny Ah Zhu’s care for her during that period.

Ah Zhu had been really good to her. That was an undeniable fact.

However, that did not allow Jiang Yao to let Ah Zhu go. Jiang Yao remembered her mission. She remembered that Ah Zhu was still a criminal.

“Sister Junhui, I’ve never studied before. Can you tell me how many years I’ll be sentenced to after I’m caught?” Ah Zhu asked.

Jiang Yao was silent because there was only one answer to that question.

However, Jiang Yao could not say that. “As long as you cooperate with the police, they will reduce your sentence as appropriate.”

“I know it’s the death penalty.” Ah Zhu chuckled. “How can it be reduced? What I’ve committed is enough for me to be shot ten times. ”

“If you cooperate with the police and tell them what you know if the clues you provide can help the police solve a bigger case, you’ll have a high chance of getting the penalty reduced.” That answer was sincere.

“Reduce the death penalty and spend the rest of my life in prison.” Ah Zhu shook his head. “No, Sister Junhui, that kind of life will make me wish I was dead.”

Big Ke and Ah Lu arrived very quickly. When Jiang Yao and Ah Zhu reached the village entrance, Big Ke and Ah Lu’s car had already arrived.

“Director Jiang.” Big Ke quickly jumped out of the car and shouted at Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao looked at Big Ke, but the uncertainty was in her eyes. Ah Zhu suddenly bent down and took out a small pistol from his boot. When he straightened up again, the muzzle of the gun in his hand was already pointed straight at Jiang Yao.

“Director Jiang? So, Sister Junhui, you’re not a soldier? You’re a businesswoman? Your surname is Jiang?” Ah Zhu smiled. “Sister, actually, I’ve also guessed that you’re not a soldier because soldiers search the criminal’s body from head to toe. Your inexperience means you’re not a soldier.”

“Put down the gun!” Big Ke growled.

“Big Guy, don’t come over here. If you come over, I’ll shoot her. I don’t care about my rotten life, but your boss is different. You can’t let her die with me, right?” Ah Zhu’s threatening tone could make people laugh.

Big Ke and Ah Lu stopped a few steps away. Jiang Yao and Ah Zhu held their guns and faced each other.

For some reason, when Jiang Yao saw the smile on Ah Zhu’s lips, she felt that Ah Zhu would not really shoot her.

That thought flashed through her mind, but Jiang Yao brushed it aside. She felt that it was simply crazy.

“We can let you go, and you can also drive the car, but only if you let her go.” Ah Lu jumped out of the car and put his gun on the ground, raising his hand high up. Their mission was to protect Jiang Yao, not to capture Ah Zhu.

Ah Zhu glanced at him but did not even look at the car. Then, his gaze fell on the woman opposite him. “If I had known that I would meet you, I would have been a good person even if I had to beg on the street with a crippled leg. But if I hadn’t been a bad person, I might not have met you. Sister Jiang, although I don’t know what your name is, I think I will definitely remember you well.”
