492 Waiting
“I didn’t want this to happen either, but I had no choice. That person held a knife to my neck and asked me to pretend that nothing had happened,” Luo Fei said bitterly.
“In other words, the truck was driven away, but Zhou Hao deliberately waited for you to finish using the washroom?” Chu Ning clarified.
“Yes, he even gave me a lot of hush money.” When Luo Fei said this, his expression was a little sad.
Luo Fei didn’t lie. Everything he said was the truth. It was just that during the process, he had purposefully concealed many details.
After all, he couldn’t possibly tell Chu Huan’s relative that he was the one who caused Chu Huan’s disappearance.
!!
Zhou Hao did not tell Luo Fei what he was going to do before he took action.
“Chu Huan is a good classmate. I usually have the best relationship with him. I didn’t expect that… Sigh… I caused him harm. But for the safety of my family, I had to listen to Zhou Hao. He told me I could notify the police after 48 hours.” Luo Fei bit his lips and continued with a guilty expression.
Luo Fei was very talented in acting. He had a good grasp of his emotions.
At that moment, Luo Fei was undoubtedly a victim in Chu Ning’s eyes. He was completely different from the way he looked at the casino.
“It’s fine. Thank you, Luo Fei.” Chu Ning looked at Luo Fei with a gentle gaze.
“Sigh, it was supposed to be a profitable business trip, but who would have thought that something like this would happen on the way? If only I was the one who had been taken away. At least that would reduce the guilt I feel.” Luo Fei clutched his chest in grief.
At this moment, Luo Fei had no choice but to continue acting. He wasn’t sure whether or not Chu Ning believed him, but he had to take a stand.
“It’s not your fault. Have some tea. You don’t have to be too sad,” Chu Ning said softly.
“Thank you for understanding my feelings.” Luo Fei picked up the tea in front of him and took a few sips.
He was very drowsy after staying up all night. After leaving the casino, he resisted the urge to yawn, but due to his eyes being sore, tears kept flowing out unconsciously. That was very reasonable.
After chatting for a while, Luo Fei left.
Only Chu Ning and Bai Hong remained in the room.
Chu Ning looked at the tea leaves in the cup before her and was in a daze for a moment.
“That fellow must have hidden something from us,” Bai Hong said indifferently.
“Why?” Chu Ning asked with a smile.
Of course, she didn’t think that Luo Fei would honestly tell her everything.
“Because he’s addicted to gambling and lacks money.” Bai Hong sipped his tea and gave his judgment.
“I know, but I also got what I wanted from him. It doesn’t matter if he lied to me. What’s important is that I have to figure out the cause and effect of the matter,” Chu Ning replied softly.
“Let him experience the beauty of freedom one last time. The next time I see him, it won’t be like this,” Chu Ning added.
Luo Fei was very candid. He told Chu Ning where they went to purchase the goods, how to go, and the service area where Chu Huan disappeared with the truck.
“Now, let’s go to the orchard to understand the situation and verify what I’m speculating.” After saying that, Chu Ning stood up and left the room.
The longer they dragged this on, the more passive Chu Ning became.
As for calling the police 48 hours later, Chu Ning felt that it would be useless.
If they really called the police, it was unknown whether Chu Huan could be rescued, but it was uncertain what Zhou Hao would do to Chu Huan.
Zhou Hao sent this video to Chu Ning to tell her that if she wanted Chu Huan to be safe, Chu Ning had to pay a price.
This price would definitely be unacceptable to Chu Ning.
Three hours later, Chu Ning arrived at the orchard where Chu Huan and Luo Fei had purchased the yellow peaches the previous day.
The business of the orchard was still very good. It was not affected by Chu Huan’s disappearance.
Or rather, the owner, Huo Yun, was unaware that something had happened to one of his clients.
After finding out Huo Yun’s location, Chu Ning quickly found the small wooden house in the orchard.
“Please come in.” After Chu Ning knocked on the door, Huo Yun’s voice came from within the wooden house.
“What fruits do you want to wholesale?” Huo Yun was still tidying up the account books. However, when his gaze fell on Bai Hong, who was beside Chu Ning, he paused for a few seconds.
“Mr. Huo, I’m sorry. I’m here to ask you something. Can I take up a moment of your time?” Chu Ning asked sincerely.
“Sure, have a seat,” Huo Yun said casually.
“Yesterday afternoon, two young men came to see me. You want to ask about them, right?” Huo Yun continued.
