Chapter 716: 716
"The incident in Dong Tao Town you told me to investigate . . . "
"Yes? Did you find anything?" Qin Chu sounded anxious .
It was the most important thing on his mind because it was important to Huo Mian . . .
Huo Mian's biggest wish right now was to find her biological parents . . .
"It's very complicated . I don't know where to begin . " Rick's voice sounded very heavy .
"It's okay, tell me . "
"If it's possible… I suggest that you stop investigating . "
"Why?" Qin Chu asked suspiciously . He was aware of Rick's investigative abilities . The man wouldn't be so unconfident without good reason .
"Because… none of the men I sent out to investigate… came back . "
"They all died?"
"I'm not sure if they died, but I cannot reach any of them . You know our line of work; once we lose contact with our people, there is little hope of finding them . "
"How could this be?" Qin Chu furrowed his brows . Huo Mian's identity was far more complex than he had thought .
After witnessing the death of Uncle Yang during his last visit to Dong Tao Town, he knew that things were not as simple as they seemed .
He didn't, however, expect it to be this complex . Dong Tao Town was only an ordinary small town . What dark forces could possibly be hiding behind the scenes?
"Although I didn't get any useful information, I can tell you this for sure . Dong Tao Town is a complicated place . There are a lot of eyes and ears lurking around . Anyone who investigates there is discovered by some hidden power, sooner or later . We're out in broad daylight, but they're in the shadows . It's very dangerous for us… Plus… I don't think there's only one force controlling all of this . I'm pretty sure there are others involved . Basically, the water is very deep . I've contacted the local boss there, whom I'm pretty tight with . From what he told me, the events in Dong Tao Town are considered to be supernatural . The people behind it are more frightening than ghosts… He told me to give up . "
"How could this be?"
"So… I'm thinking that your wife's identity is very troublesome… Even if we do find what she's looking for in the end, it may not be a good thing . Maybe giving up is the best option . "
"Alright, I understand . . . "
"But it's alright . If you want to me keep investigating, I will keep helping you . "
What Rick didn't tell Qin Chu was that he had already lost nine men during this investigation .
