Wang Xiaoliang forced himself to calm down.
He remembered the words in the Book of Fate-face the fear within, and gain heaven's favor.
Only by facing his inner fears could he gain the favor of good fortune.
Right now, he was afraid of death. Afraid of dying himself, and afraid of Fan Qishan dying. But the more afraid he was, the more likely something would go wrong. If his thoughts fell into chaos, it would all be over.
Fan Qishan had said he was Liu Chengde's illegitimate son.
Why had he said that?
Images flashed through Wang Xiaoliang's mind. That story Liu Xinyu had told him: many years ago, Liu Chengde had been kidnapped by three people. In the end, Liu Chengde had used money to save himself and put all three of them in prison.
So many years had passed.
Were their sentences about up?
These three were probably the people who had kidnapped Liu Chengde back then. Out of prison, and back for revenge.
But that wasn't right.
How did they know this address? How did they know the door code?
Unless someone had told them.
Who?
Before Wang Xiaoliang could figure it out, footsteps came from upstairs. Two people came down.
The same spokesman spoke. "Who else is coming today?"
"Liu Xinyu and Liu Chengde."
Wang Xiaoliang got the words out before Fan Qishan could speak.
Fan Qishan's expression changed for an instant. The trace of a smile at the corners of his mouth disappeared, but only for an instant before it returned.
The two criminals exchanged a look, then went back into Fan Qishan's room.
Wang Xiaoliang was calculating. Liu Xinyu and Liu Chengde weren't coming today. He knew that. Fan Qishan knew it too. But these three didn't.
He needed time. Time to think of
