302 I’ll Give You a Chance
Old Ghost’s eyes never left Jiang Tong, and the knife in his hand was the only thing that could give him a sense of security in front of Jiang Tong. Although this sense of security was a form of self-deception since it was of no use.
“How did you know?” Old Ghost stared at Jiang Tong and asked again, his face pale from his injuries showing no expression. The two keywords ‘Ma Chong’ and ‘Pu Men’ prompted Old Ghost to stay. Jiang Tong didn’t even need to use force, Old Ghost wanted to stay and talk to Jiang Tong! Because what Jiang Tong had said was a secret that no one knew!
Old Ghost’s real name on his identification card was ‘Liu Dao’, and the age on his identification card was 40 years old. However, both the name and age of Liu Dao were fake! Old Ghost’s original name was Ma Chong. When he was 16, he changed his name to Ma Shan. When he was 21, Ma Shan disappeared and was confirmed to have died in a car accident. His body was thrown off the hill. When the body was found, it had already rotted and could only be identified by family members through clothes. At that time, technology was limited and DNA testing was not universal. In addition, if it was not necessary, there was no need to do such a test, so the body was not tested for identity. In reality, Ma Shan did not die. He had run away because he had committed a crime and he created a fake identity called Chen Zhuang. After that, Chen Zhuang went to the Yun Tong border area for a few years before going to Myanmar. After going through many bloody events, he joined the Poppy Group and became the backbone of the Poppy Group. When he officially returned to his country, he changed his identity once again, taking over the identity of someone who had just died. His new name was Liu Feng! When he was 33 years old, Liu Feng became the Old Ghost’s former name, and he officially became Liu Dao! In other words, Ma Chong was the Old Ghost’s first name, and Liu Dao was his fifth!
And currently, those who knew Old Ghost only knew his last three names! Before he joined the Poppy Group, the organization only knew that he was called Chen Zhuang! No one knew who he was! Ma Chong was already a dead man in the eyes of the law. His household registration had been removed! This was Old Ghost’s biggest secret! And this secret involved a very big problem! They were Old Ghost’s family! He was the son of a tea farmer, and his real age was only forty-one years old. Not only were his parents still alive, but his two sisters were also alive! His two older sisters had long since married and had children. His parents, too, were living in the Pu Men, a place that produced a lot of black tea. They were living the most ordinary life.
For Old Ghost, who was cruel and merciless and had countless enemies, the problem he was most worried about was having his family known!
“It’s been 20 years and you haven’t dared to contact your family. I heard that your mother visits your grave every year.” As Jiang Tong spoke, she opened the box on the coffee table and picked up the pistol inside.
Old Ghost held a knife in one hand and the other hand pressed on the sofa’s armrest. He would jump up and dodge or pounce at Jiang Tong at any time.
“Actually, I think you’re right,” Jiang Tong continued. She picked up the gun and took out the magazine to take a look. There were bullets in it, but it was actually for Old Ghost to see. She put the magazine back in, pulled the holster back, and loaded the gun.
“Protecting your family from harm is what everyone should do.” After Jiang Tong finished speaking, she smacked the gun on the coffee table and slid it in the direction of Old Ghost. The force was just right. The gun slid to the coffee table and stopped. Old Ghost could reach out and grab it.
Old Ghost’s pupils shrank. Jiang Tong had actually given him a gun!
“I’ll give you a chance. You can pick up your gun now and shoot me,” Jiang Tong said with a relaxed smile, “Or we can have a good talk.” She smiled at Old Ghost and said, “I believe that you are a smart person. You will make the best choice for yourself.”
Jiang Tong had given Old Ghost a chance, a chance to not be blackmailed by Jiang Tong using his family. But in reality, Jiang Tong had not given him a chance. At such a close distance, the Old Ghost had no chance at all! For top-tier experts, at close range, a gun was not as good as a knife! This was because the gun had to be aimed at the target to cause damage, while the knife attacked from all angles.
However, Old Ghost did not know that Jiang Tong did not give him a chance. Jiang Tong’s ability was beyond imagination. Even Zhou Jingyun’s current understanding of Jiang Tong was only the tip of the iceberg. Old Ghost would think that this was really an opportunity!
“You think I don’t dare to kill you?” Old Ghost’s expression was somewhat uncertain. He was testing the waters with his words.
