Chapter 236: Sniping Ian
Wu Mei arrived at the agreed-upon location. Ian was extremely meticulous. He had specially chosen to meet Bi Fang at the private Clubhouse located in the mountains.
When the waiter received the news, he guided Wu Mei to the bamboo forest tea house. She pushed open the door and saw a nervous Ian.
When Ian saw that the person who came was not Bi Fang, he immediately stood up warily and questioned her, “Who are you?”
“Bi Fang was secretly harmed some time ago. He’s seriously injured and bedridden now, so he specially sent me to communicate with you…”
“You can just tell me what evidence you have.”
Wu Mei sat across from Ian and tried to dispel his doubts.
Ian narrowed his eyes and stared at her. He knew that Bi Fang was an eccentric person and did not have many friends. “How can I trust you?”
“There are many people out there chasing after John and me, wanting to get their hands on what we have! Who can prove that you’re not one of them?”
Ian stood up and pulled open the curtains around him. They were surrounded by an empty mountain. No one would come near them in the dark.
He spread out his hands and interrogated her, “Give me the evidence and I’ll hand the black box to you!”
Seeing that there was no place in the room to hide the black box, Wu Mei knew that he was just testing her today.
Helplessly, she dialed Bi Fang’s number and put him on speaker, wanting them to communicate directly.
The moment the call went through, Bi Fang asked anxiously in a low voice, “Did you see him? What did Ian say?”
Wu Mei shrugged and looked at Ian. “Do you believe me now?”
Ian nodded. When he reached out to take out the thing in his arms, Wu Mei saw a laser red dot suddenly land between Ian’s eyebrows.
“Be careful! Hurry up and dodge!”
She groaned inwardly and wanted to lift her hand to push Ian away, but she was still a step too late.
Bang!
The bullet from the silenced sniper rifle accurately pierced through Ian’s head. His eyes widened and he collapsed onto the ground with an indignant expression on his face…
How dare he kill someone right under her nose?
Enraged, Wu Mei leapt out of the window. Based on the sniper rifle’s range and angle, she found the approximate location of the enemy and quickly searched for traces of the other party in the mountain forest. It had rained last night, so the soil in the mountain was soft and easy to leave footprints. Wu Mei followed the trail and came to a fork with two paths.
There were empty shells scattered on the ground. Wu Mei bent down to pick them up and sniffed them. Giving up on continuing to track her enemy, she returned to the tea house in the private Clubhouse.
Ian was lying on the ground. The precision of the shot that killed him made him feel no pain. He did not even have time to say anything more!
Wu Mei’s brows furrowed as she pondered. She knew that Ian definitely had a backup plan when he came here!
Wu Mei raised her hand and closed Ian’s eyes. She rummaged through his pockets and places that could hide information. As expected, she found an encrypted note in the inner pocket of Ian’s shirt.
Breaking the code on the note, Wu Mei saw that it was an agreement between Ian and John.
These two people did have the black box of the plane that had crashed, but they did not believe each other, so the black box was temporarily handed over to John for safekeeping. However, Ian used his own method to encrypt the black box. Even if they had the password or the black box, they had to find the other party to successfully obtain the information!
This piece of paper was evidence that the two of them had a black box together. There were two red fingerprint stamps on the bottom of the paper.
“They’re so meticulous, yet someone still managed to tail them here!”
Wu Mei looked at the dead Ian in disdain. She did not know whether to praise him for being smart or mock him for being stupid for underestimating his enemy.
