CHAPTER 1930 THERE WAS A MOUNTAIN

Hailey was stunned.

"Which one?"

She had brought back more than one Chinese man before.

"The one that I actually caught and chased out! Just recently!"

"I don't know.” Hailey shook her head.

She really didn't know who Jiang Ning was. She neither knew his identity or whether his name was real or not. © 2024.

But since Reagan had asked her so anxiously, she became puzzled. "What about him?"

"You really don't know? You don't know who this man is at all?"

"I don't know, but I can see that he's no ordinary man,” replied Hailey honestly.

"No ordinary man?"

Hailey nodded as she thought about the few times she interacted with Jiang Ning.

They hadn't spent a lot of time together, but the things that Jiang Ning said to her before leaving made Hailey realize that Jiang Ning could see through everything.

How could such a person be ordinary?

"You've offended him?" asked Hailey.

Reagan didn't say anything.

"He's definitely no small fry, so if you've offended him..." Hailey hesitated for a moment. "I don't think it's a good idea to do that even though the Salos are powerful. I can sense something terrifying coming from him."

Reagan's expression became even nastier now.

He had really guessed it right.

That Jiang Ning was the one behind Lin Group?

His palms began to sweat and he had a very bad feeling that this time, the Salos might really be in trouble.

All his experience and successes in the past couldn't boost his confidence at all. Reagan had a hard time believing the situation he was in.

"Can you still locate him?" asked Reagan after a moment of silence.

Hailey shook her head again.

There was no way she could find Jiang Ning. The last couple of meetings were purely a coincidence, or rather, Jiang Ning purposely chose to appear in front of her. If he didn't want to see her, there was no way she could get to see him.

She probably didn't have the right to either.

Reagan pursed his lips.

"Forget it," he sighed. "It looks like I've really made some wrong decisions. I get it now." "You...' "Alright now, this matter has nothing to do with you, I'll handle it. You go and rest.” Reagan was still unwilling to share too much with Hailey, so he just waved her out of the room.

Hailey opened her mouth to speak but didn't say anything in the end. She hoped to be able to see Jiang Ning again so that she could plead for mercy and put in a few good words for her father, even if it meant that she had to give in or even give herself away...

But Jiang Ning probably didn't care for any of that.

Hailey left the room and Reagan was left alone again. The expression on his face was complex and it was hard to tell exactly what was going through his mind.

The manual...

Perhaps he stood one last chance to butter up to Jiang Ning if he found the manual. Then perhaps Lin Group would not push them so hard, and would not be so bent on wiping out the Salos.

He hated to admit it, but Reagan could see that the future was bleak.

"Where has that damned cemetery caretaker gone to?!"

Reagan slammed a fist onto the desk.

He had to find that manual!

Either he had to find the page with Fang Yin or the page with the cemetery caretaker. Either way, he had to get this bargaining chip back.

He had to get it back no matter what it cost!

"There used to be a mountain," a voice suddenly spoke from the darkness. "Apparently that mountain is meant specially for burying wicked things, so the cemetery caretaker might go there"

"What?"

Reagan didn't understand.

"To the cemetery caretaker, the manual is evil. He's gone mad trying to bury the manual because he wants to bury this wickedness. So I believe he would go there.”

Reagan immediately stood up and his expression was grim.

"Do you know where that place is?"

"I've heard of it."

"Let's go!" said Reagan immediately. "I must get that manual. For the sake of the future of the Salos, I must get it back."

"But that's a very dangerous place," said the voice again. "It lies in a mysterious part of China, and so it's not a friendly place. If you go, then you must be prepared to never return."

It was in China?
