Chapter 350: Borrow a Knife to Kill

The phone was hung up, and the two people inside stared at each other.

They hadn't expected the result to be like this.

"What should we do?"

The man opened his mouth, "Why not try calling again?"

Bing Li silently handed him the phone, the meaning clear—this time it's your turn.

The man shrank his neck.

"Or maybe… we should just forget it……"

Bing Li glanced at him, but said nothing.

After all, if it were him, he wouldn't have the guts to call again now.

"Sigh."

The man let out a heavy sigh.

"Are we just going to watch that brat grow bit by bit?"

He felt deadly regret in his heart.

If he had known today would come, he really should have killed Jiang Cheng back then.

No, he shouldn't have tried to use him, shouldn't have recruited him in the first place.

"There's still another way."

Bing Li suddenly said.

"What way?"

The man's eyes lit up.

"Don't get too excited too soon—this method might not work."

Bing Li shook his head.

"It's fine, just say it out loud; I'll help you think it over."

The man hurriedly said, "Otherwise I'm really afraid that one day that guy will barge in and kill us outright."

Bing Li took a deep breath and said, "The method is to call Wang Tong, tell him about this, and borrow his hand to get rid of that brat."

"Borrow a knife to kill?"

The man exclaimed.

"Sure!"

He said excitedly, "Wang Tong that guy is probably also clueless about who the murderer is, stressed out. We tell him this…… no."

His voice trailed off quickly.

Wang Tong isn't an idiot.

How could he be so easily used by them?

Moreover, if that brat keeps hiding in the Black Market, Wang Tong can't do anything to him unless Wang Tong's backers act and put pressure on the Gu Family.

"You also think this method isn't very feasible, right?"

"Yeah."

The man let out a sigh.

"But now we have no other options—desperate times call for desperate measures, how about it?"

Bing Li hesitated a moment, then found Wang Tong's number in the contacts and dialed.

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Maybe it will work; not long after, the call connected, and on the other end came the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Hong Bin, why did you suddenly think to call me?"

The man's voice sounded friendly, as if he still didn't know what happened last night at the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School.

"Chief Wang, I know your time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush."

Bing Li got straight to the point:

"Chief Wang, you should know about Xie Tian's murder last night, right?"

The smile on Wang Tong's face across the line stiffened slightly.

He of course knew, even having found out the night it happened and immediately sent people to investigate, but so far the leads are limited.

"Hong Brother, saying that, it seems you know some news?"

His smile returned to what it was before.

"To be frank, I do know who the killer is—though it's only my guess, but it's almost certainly right."

"A guess? Tell me."

As for Xie Tian's death, Wang Tong actually felt nothing in his heart—just a disobedient dog, dead is dead.

But first, you have to look at the owner when beating a dog; second, someone capable of killing Xie Tian is probably not an ordinary person. If we don't find out, it's like a thorn stuck in the heart.

"This person is Jiang Cheng, formerly of our Dawn Society, but a few months ago he betrayed us, joined the Black Market, and now lives in the Dinghu Residential Area within the Black Market."

"He's from your Dawn Society? And he betrayed you?"

Chief Wang looked a bit surprised.

"I remember your Dawn Society always hunts down traitors with all its might—no matter where he hides, how could you still let him live for months? And is this matter related to Xie Tian's death?"

"Chief Wang, I'm ninety percent sure this was done by him."

Bing Li detected impatience in Wang Tong's tone and hurriedly said.

"Why?"

Because I know him very well, I know what he has done before; Chief Wang, after you hear it, you will understand.

As he spoke, he recounted Jiang Cheng's background from the beginning.

But he basically covered only the main points, so he finished speaking in a short while.

"So, just because he was being hunted, he held a grudge and killed Xie Tian?"

Wang Tong furrowed his brows.

"What a joke, a guy who was just an ordinary person a few months ago, how could he grow this fast?" "Chief Wang, I still say that eight or nine times out of ten, it's him, and I guess his revenge may have just begun."

"What do you mean?"

"He might act against you, Chief Wang, next."

Bing Li suddenly interjected.

The man beside him was also startled.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

A flash of anger appeared on Wang Tong's face.

"Chief Wang, I'm not exaggerating."

Bing Li said calmly, "I know that kid well; he considers himself righteous and shows no mercy to gangs, just like the boss of the Wild Wolf Gang who bullied him before—even after fleeing to the Outer City District, he died at his hands, and not a single family member survived."

"Xie Tian's death might be because he held a grudge, but those few disciples of Xie Tian never hunted him down; yet they still couldn't escape his poisonous hand. Chief Wang, guess why?"

"Why?"

Wang Tong asked in a stiff tone.

"Because they were involved in loan sharking, driving many people to desperation; with that kid's temperament, he definitely won't let them off, and I think he may also have learned, Chief Wang, that you are Xie Tian's backer—what will happen next doesn't need me to say more."

"You dare threaten me?"

Wang Tong flew into a rage.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

Bing Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Chief Wang, even if I had the gall, I wouldn't dare threaten you; I earlier gave you a heads-up, just in case."

"Is that so."

Wang Tong snorted coldly.

"You mean well, but don't think I don't see your intention—you want to use my hand to kill this traitor for you, right?"

"Indeed, that's the idea."

Bing Li readily admitted it.

"To be frank, Chief Wang, that kid is now hiding in the Black Market under its protection; we've struck twice and both times came away empty-handed. To avoid provoking the Black Market and the Gu Family, we've had to temporarily give up, but Chief Wang, what I just said is absolutely true—if we let him keep growing like this, sooner or later he'll come to settle scores with us, and Chief Wang, you probably won't escape either."

"Hmph, utter nonsense!"

Wang Tong gave a cold snort and hung up the phone directly.

Bing Li and the other person were not surprised by this.

"Will it be useful?"

The man asked.

"Let's see."

Bing Li narrowed his eyes.

The seed of doubt has been planted.

Whether it will take root and sprout is up to fate.

However, given his understanding of Wang Tong, it's likely possible.
