Chapter 2336: Escape After Committing Murder
Editor: Atlas Studios
On the second night of Tan Jing’s stay at home, Tan Bo finally could not stand it anymore. He looked at Tan Jing furiously and said, “How long are you going to stay at home! Be careful that you won’t be able to get the task done before you get captured again!”
“Why are you so anxious? Oh… are you afraid of getting in trouble for harboring me? Don’t worry, I’ll leave on my own when the time is up. I won’t cause any trouble for any of you.” Tan Jing continued eating after saying that.
That night, she changed her clothes and headed out. She got into the man’s car. As soon as she sat inside, the man said impatiently, “You’re finally going to take action.”
“Don’t tell me the Huang family has given you another mission?” Tan Jing asked.
Unexpectedly, the man immediately flew into a rage and said impatiently, “What does my mission have to do with you! Just do your own thing! Don’t stick your nose into my business!”
Tan Jing smiled. She already knew the answer. She looked at the road ahead and said to the man, “Don’t go to Qiao Mei’s house yet. I suppose you know where the Huang family members are. Bring me to them.”
“You want to meet the Huang family members? Why? What tricks do you have up your sleeve this time?” the man asked.
“I just feel that the Huang family’s offer is not satisfactory and still not good enough. I want to negotiate with them. If you are nice to me, perhaps I can also gain some benefits for you,” Tan Jing said.
This was a valid reason and her proposal was attractive enough to him. After thinking for a long time, the man started driving. However, he did not head towards the capital’s city center, but towards a village at the edge of the capital’s boundary.
Xia Wen’s men followed closely behind, not daring to relax for even a moment.
The place was really very far away and the drive took two hours. The man yawned wearily and said, “That’s it. The village in front is where they live now. We can’t drive any further. We have to walk the rest of the way in.”
Before he even finished speaking, Tan Jing took out a dagger and slit his throat without another word. Her movements were so fast that the man did not even have time to react. He originally thought that Tan Jing was a weak woman who was not his match at all, but he did not expect that Tan Jing’s target all this while was not the Huang family! It was him!
“I’m really sorry, but I won’t be able to stay alive if I don’t kill you,” Tan Jing said as she wiped the blood off her face.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Tan Jing threw the man into the river and cleaned up all the traces in the surroundings. As for the blood on her body… she would have to deal with it later. It was more important for her to leave.
Xia Wen had arranged for a duo to keep an eye on Tan Jing, two men named Xiao Tian and Xiao Hao. The two of them were newbies and had never been to this forested area before. It took them some effort to make their way up.
“Hey, why do you think they park the car here? Why aren’t they making any move yet?” Xiao Tian asked curiously as he crouched in hiding.
“How would I know? It’s been so long. Why don’t we go over and take a look?” Xiao Hao asked tentatively.
The two of them came to an agreement. As soon as they got closer, they could detect a strong smell of blood. They immediately knew that something was wrong! Tan Jing had escaped! This woman was more capable than they imagined!
Xiao Tian quickly determined the most likely escape route in the vicinity and the two of them ran in that direction. No matter how capable Tan Jing was, she could not run as fast as someone from the army. Very soon, the two of them spotted a figure which stood out and Tan Jing also caught sight of them.
“Damn it! I just know that there’s someone following me!” Tan Jing said furiously.
She knew that it was Xia Wen who had arranged for these people to keep her under surveillance and that added to her anger. She did not know where her fighting spirit came from, but she ran faster than she had ever run in her life.
Tan Jing definitely could not outrun the two men if it came down to stamina. She turned and ran towards the river, diving into the water. In the dark night, the two men could not see where Tan Jing had disappeared to.
“Oh no!” Xiao Tian said as he looked at the river in shock.
“If Brother Xia Wen finds out about this, how are we going to explain ourselves…” Xiao Hao said helplessly.
“We can’t control how things have developed to this point. How about this, you go and get Brother Xia Wen to come over to take a look. I’ll stay and stand guard here. Perhaps she’s just hiding in the water and biding her time,” Xiao Tian said.
“Are you safe staying here alone? That woman has already killed many people!” Xiao Hao said worriedly.
“Don’t worry! My combat skills are better than yours!” Xiao Tian said confidently.
Xiao Hao looked at Xiao Tian without saying anything. He immediately ran back to the car and drove off to look for Xia Wen. Xia Wen was dazed for a long time when he heard Xiao Hao’s report.
He was suddenly reminded of what Tan Jing used to be like in the past. He did not know why she had changed so much after these years. In the past, she was someone who did not even dare to slaughter a chicken, but now, she could kill a person without batting an eyelid.
