"Brother Liu, don't listen to this guy; he's still a bit reluctant to let go of Sister Zheng and wants to break up their couple!" Han Wu interjected with a sneer on the side.

Hu Tao glared fiercely at Han Wu and said anxiously, "I, Hu Tao... I, Hu Tao, have never lacked women. Would I go to such great lengths to do that kind of thing!"

Listening to Hu Tao's words and looking at his anxious reaction, Zhao Desan suddenly felt that things shouldn't be as simple as he thought, right? Besides, if this guy really still had those thoughts about Zheng Jie, he wouldn't go and trouble Zhao Da, would he? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things weren't as simple as he had guessed. Zhao Desan frowned, stared at Hu Tao with a murderous gaze, and said to him word by word, "Hu Tao, I'll ask you one more time. Was it you who did it? Was it to take revenge on me, or to get Zheng Jie again? I'm telling you, think clearly before you answer. Paper can't wrap fire. Even if you muddle through today, sooner or later I will know. By that time, once I know it was you who did it, I think the consequences should be much more serious than kidnapping you! If I, Zhao Desan, get ruthless, humph..."

Looking at Zhao Desan's serious and murderous gaze, Hu Tao knew that this guy wasn't just scaring him. However, this matter really had nothing to do with him. He nodded understandingly and said helplessly, "This really wasn't done by me. Why would I send someone to beat Zhao Da for no reason? If I really hadn't given up on Zheng Jie, wouldn't doing this make Zheng Jie hate me? Wouldn't I be even less likely to get Zheng Jie's heart? Zhao Desan, you are also a smart person; you know I wouldn't do that, right? Think about it again, did Zhao Da or Zheng Jie offend anyone else?"

"Was it really not you who did it?" Zhao Desan repeated his question seriously again.

Hu Tao shook his head impatiently, almost without thinking. He didn't look like he was lying at all. With a tone that struck Zhao Desan, he said, "I think maybe this matter started because of you. It's hard to say. You are so close to Zheng Jie and her family; maybe you offended someone, and they want to give you a little color to see!"

Hu Tao's casual words suddenly gave Zhao Desan a jolt in his head. He pondered for a moment, then let Han Wu and the others untie Hu Tao and let him go.

When he drove back, it was already pitch black. Zhao Desan had been racking his brains all the way, thinking about this groundless matter. He had wasted an entire afternoon, and it turned out to be just a wrong clue. Driving back to the district alone, he carefully pondered it again and overturned his guess, feeling that spending so much effort to question Hu Tao today was a huge mistake. Just as this guy said, even if he wanted to get Zheng Jie again, he wouldn't go and trouble Zhao Da. Wouldn't doing this make Zheng Jie hold an even deeper grudge? But who was the mastermind? Was it aimed at Zhao Da's family, or at him, an outsider who was close to the couple? If it was aimed at the couple, what was the purpose? If it was aimed at himself, needless to say, it must be some enemies he had offended, or perhaps it could be a competitor who had always had prejudices against him... The fog in his head became a ball... Zhao Desan pondered all the way, but his head was a mess, and he had no clue. After all, this matter came too suddenly and groundlessly.

Once it got dark, the urban village where Zhao Desan rented became quiet. He ate something casually downstairs and returned to the rental room to lie down, racking his brains to think about this baffling matter. Outside the window, he could see the brilliant lights of the main urban area in the distance, and at this time, the nightlife in the main urban area had just begun. For the night, the liveliest places were entertainment venues such as nightclubs and bars.

Because it was Monday, the 'One Plus One' bar wasn't as booming as it was on the weekend, but there were still quite a few people. The dance floor was crowded, and dynamic dance music lingered in the bar. Tong Lan was also busy as usual, greeting some regular customers in the bar, walking back and forth between these regular customers from time to time to greet them and toast them. When she was busy, she almost forgot that Han Wu and the others hadn't come to work at the bar tonight. Failing to complete the task ordered by the 'Money Leopard' still made her feel a bit uneasy.
