Nightmare Assault

Chapter 244: Fear

“Which one?”

“It… is that girl,” Pi Wan smiled, “Coincidentally, I have a few business friends in the capital. I asked them to look around, and one of them actually found her.” Since Jiang Cheng didn’t reply, Pi Wan added awkwardly, “But at the end of the day, it is all thanks to Doctor Jiang. The girl was indeed a university student. She majors in science. She often applies for sick leave and doesn’t stay in the university hostel. She doesn’t seem to have any friends.” Pi Wan added, “By the way, her name is Xia Meng.”

“Where is your friend now?” Jiang Cheng’s voice was even and cold. He didn’t sound happy at all.

“I told him to hurry back to Rong City. Based on the time, he should be getting off the plane now.” Pi Wan thought about it and continued, “He’ll come to me first, and then I’ll bring him to your office so you can ask him the details…”

“Does he know the address of your office?” Jiang Cheng interrupted.

“Yes,” Pi Wan answered. However, he quickly reacted. Even though Doctor Jiang could not be called normal, he was being extra abnormal that day.

Then, Jiang Cheng’s voice travelled over, “When he gets off the plane, call him and send him to my place directly.”

Pi Wan blinked, “Doctor Jiang, what about me…”

“Leave your company now. Use a substitute ID to find a hotel to stay in. Don’t bring your phone. Pay with cash. Don’t drive and hail a cab.” He paused, “Call me with the hotel landline at 6 pm. Let it ring for four times and then hang up. I’ll call you back. If you don’t receive my call in the next five minutes, leave the hotel immediately and go to the police station. Use your connections to request witness protection.”

Pi Wan could have his life because of Jiang Cheng. Therefore, he followed Doctor Jiang’s words subconsciously. Since he was not as clever as Jiang Cheng, he rarely questioned the orders. Based on his understanding of Doctor Jiang, his tone meant that this was not a small issue. It might even threaten his personal safety.

“Got it, Doctor Jiang.” Before he hung up, Pi Wan heard Doctor Jiang’s last message, “Tell your friend that my name is Hao Shuai.”

After Jiang Cheng put down the phone, Fatty leaned over with wide eyes. “Doctor, did something happen?” Like Pi Wan, he rarely saw the Doctor like this, especially when he used the name Hao Shuai. In Fatty’s memory, he only used this name in the nightmare realm.

“Fatty,” Jiang Cheng cut off his thoughts, “I have a friend coming soon. I need you to go for a walk. Visit the market. Don’t come back until I call you to.”

“Okay, Doctor.”

Just as Fatty planned to change and leave, Jiang Cheng’s voice came from behind him. “Fatty.” Fatty turned around in confusion. “Be careful.”

After Fatty left with the basket, Jiang Cheng sat silently before his table. He leaned on the back of his chair. He stared at the clock and then picked up his phone. He tapped on the screen. The light that shone through the window became sharper. The warm morning light was gone. Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes like he was resting.

Footsteps echoed from outside the door. Then, there was knocking. The person was quite gentle. The rhythm was quick and powerful.

“Please come in.”

The door was not locked. As the door opened, a shaft of light shone in. The next second, the sun was cut off by a female figure. The bohemian dress danced in the wind. The girl wore a sunhat with a black bow. The chin lifted to reveal a young face.

“Mr. Hao,” Chen Xiaomeng smiled, “Long time no see!”

There was a middle-aged man with graying hair who followed Chen Xiaomeng. His gaze was sharp. Even when he was just standing there, his presence was dangerous. With his permission, two young men entered the office and started to search the place. They came from upstairs with a large work outfit. It was Fatty’s.

Chen Xiaomeng glanced at the clothes and nodded at the middle-aged man. Then, one of the young men left with the clothes. It appeared like there were more of them outside the door. They probably had started their search for Fatty.

From the start, Jiang Cheng didn’t move. His phone was placed at the corner of the table. The middle-aged man’s gaze never left him. Jiang Cheng understood that he was not one to be trifled with.

Chen Xiaomeng leaned on Jiang Cheng’s table. She revealed her two molars and asked exaggeratedly, “Aren’t you scared now that you’ve been found by me?”

“I am,” Jiang Cheng answered simply.

Chen Xiaomeng smiled brighter. Her eyes curved joyfully like a fox whose tricks had succeeded, “It’s unlike Mr. Hao to employ those non-professionals to track me down.” She slowly took out a piece of paper and spread it on the table. It was the portrait of Chen Xiaomeng Jiang Cheng gave Pi Wan. The drawing of Chen Xiaomeng was cute. “Since I know Mr Hao likes me in this kind of outfit, I came dressed like so,” She said with a smile.

She shrugged and sighed, “But now that you’re in my hands, your ending… probably won’t be so good. I hope you’re prepared.”

Jiang Cheng deflated like a balloon. He looked like Chen Xiaomeng as if he’d accept any punishment she had for him. Seeing the expression on Jiang Cheng, the latter was greatly satisfied. After all, the bastard had threatened her more than once in the nightmare realm. One time, he even knocked her unconscious.

She placed her palms on the table and looked down at Jiang Cheng.

“Then, how do you think I should punish you?” She grinned mischievously, “Mr Hao, who is in the wrong?”

Jiang Cheng thought about it seriously. Then, he leaned forward and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear, “I don’t have a bed here, but there is a mattress upstairs. If you don’t mind…”
