The person in front of him clearly looked like a wealthy individual. If she was a bit more attentive, she might be able to gain some benefits from him.
"No need."
This female boss was loud and well-connected; if she took him over, it would attract a lot of attention along the way.
Mong Si could see the greed in her eyes. He opened his wallet again and pulled out a stack of cash, placing it in front of her. "Tell me the location of Old Liu's Family fishing boat and its number. I'll go myself."
"That location is hard to find. If I don't take you there..."
Mong Si didn't like wasting words with others. He reached for the stack of cash he had just placed down.
He played by his own rules, and the female boss instinctively reached out to reclaim the money. "Then... I'll tell you the location and the fishing boat number."
Having gotten what he wanted, Mong Si prepared to head towards Old Liu's Family fishing boat.
Just as he lifted his foot, he realized he shouldn't have come here.
He had analyzed that the kidnapper likely had a grudge against Zhu Junjie and wanted to use Tong Tong to lure Zhu Junjie over.
They had some understanding of Zhu Junjie; he resembled Zhu Junjie, and if he appeared here, they might mistake him for Zhu Junjie.
If they became alert because of his presence, it would complicate the rescue of Tong Tong.
Thinking this, Mong Si decided to return to his car while they hadn't noticed him and inform Yan Wen about what he knew.
Just as Mong Si was about to turn around, his phone rang.
The call was from an unfamiliar number.
Mong Si slid to answer it.
"You move quickly."
A strange voice came through, speaking flawless Mandarin without any discernible accent.
The caller did not identify themselves, and at first, Mong Si couldn't guess their identity. He quickly connected it to Tong Tong's kidnapping situation. "Are you the ones who kidnapped Tong Tong?"
"Quick reaction, huh!"
The other party's tone was mocking. "You dare come to the dock alone? Do you think you have three heads and six arms? Can you rescue your daughter by yourself?"
Mong Si wanted to correct them, telling them he wasn't Zhu Junjie and that Tong Tong wasn't his daughter. He suddenly remembered that he was using Zhu Junjie's phone number; calling him was standard procedure.
This meant that they didn't know Zhu Junjie had an identical twin brother.
They were understandably unaware, after all, the matter involving Zhu Junjie had never been exposed online. The Zhu Family only publicly acknowledged one son and one daughter; how could there possibly be another son?
Mong Si remained habitually silent.
"Have you gone mute? Or are you scared? Your daughter is in our hands, and you don't fear that we might raise her in the same way as Li Xue?"
The surname Li...
Before leaving the island, Mong Si had thoroughly investigated Zhu Junjie’s background. He remembered everything that Zhu Junjie had gone through clearly.
The Li Family, which could be connected to Zhu Junjie, quickly came to Mong Si's mind—the Li Family that had collapsed overnight in Hai City.
Mong Si had a romantic entanglement with the daughter of the Li Family, whose name was Li Xue.
There were several versions circulating online about the relationship between Zhu Junjie and Li Xue. The version he found indicated that Li Xue appeared cold on the surface but led a rather chaotic private life.
Zhu Junjie had quite a few dark secrets in his past, but he could not tolerate his woman having ambiguous relationships with others.
Zhu Junjie firmly called off the engagement, but the Li Family disagreed and began to pressure him.
Although Zhu Junjie was not particularly capable, he was fortunate to have two friends, Yan Wen and Wei Sheng, who could turn things around in Hai City at will.
With the help of these two friends, even ten Li Families would not be enough to deal with him.
The Li Family clearly did not realize that Yan Wen and Wei Sheng would intervene; they were still determined to confront Zhu Junjie, unaware that they had already pushed themselves to the edge of a cliff.
If they did not recognize the danger and pull back from the brink, the Li Family would face irreversible consequences.
The Li Family overestimated their strength; just when they thought they could force Zhu Junjie to submit, they were dealt with by Yan Wen with overwhelming force.
The number of people from the Li Family sent to jail was likely beyond counting, and some who remained outside were too dirty to stay in Hai City.
Those with clean backgrounds were chased for debts and dared not remain in Hai City any longer; they fled in haste.
After a century, the Li Family became a memory amidst everyone's sighs.
What Mong Si did not know was that even if the Li Family had not provoked Zhu Junjie, they would still have been dealt with.
Yan Wen merely used Zhu Junjie's hand to take revenge.
Upon hearing this, Mong Si guessed that the Li Family had secretly returned to Hai City seeking revenge against Zhu Junjie.
"You of the Li Family raised your daughter to have such a reckless character; it's a failure of your own family education."
"Your own children are poorly educated, and now you want to harm others!"
Mong Si's words angered the other party. "So what if our family failed in education? We can make the Zhu Family fail too. You should know that our Li Family has been researching drugs for generations, and most of our research is on poisons. If I use the poisonous drugs I have on your daughter, what will happen to her?"
"You dare!"
Mong Si had endured unimaginable torment since childhood, suffering beyond his capacity to bear. He understood that kind of despair. Therefore, no matter how difficult the circumstances he faced later on, he never harmed a child.
When he heard that the other party intended to use poison on Tong Tong, his emotions fluctuated. This was the reaction they wanted; they sneered, "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who do. We already have nothing, so using something on your daughter will at least bring you pain. That alone is worth it."
"I made mistakes; you can take revenge on me. Why make things difficult for a child?"
Mong Si's expression darkened, and his gaze became terrifyingly cold. He initially did not want to expose himself and planned to leave. Now that he had been discovered, it was too late for him to hide.
Mong Si held his phone, answering a call while walking toward the direction given by the female boss. By doing this, he was essentially delivering himself to them; they would definitely monitor him.
He was alone, and his actions would bring hope to Tong Tong.
Mong Si did not stop; each step was steady. He continuously thought about what would happen when he met the other party and how he should respond.
The place the female boss mentioned was not far from where he was; he found the fishing boat in just ten minutes.
It was unclear whether all the surrounding fishing boats had gone out to sea or if they had somehow managed to disperse them, but when Mong Si arrived, Old Liu's Family's boat was isolated in that area of the sea. There were no other boats within twenty or thirty meters.
It seemed these people did not want to increase their uncontrollable risks after something happened.
