Are You Sure You Wont Get Killed

Kang Liang and Lu Shuya had parted ways after she had washed her face. After this, Kang Liang had wanted to go call his brother but he suddenly got a message from the Manager of Hotel Helios concerning his investigation.

From then on, It took Kang Liang two days straight to find out who could have taken those tapes and another day just to figure out where this person was.

As soon as he did he headed to this person's house and as soon as he got there, Kang Liang did not give the man any mercy.

Like a civil gentleman, he went to the person's home and rang their doorbell but when the man opened the door, Kang Liang allowed himself to become a beast.

Grabbing the man by the collar, Kang Liang pushed the man inside his house.

"Where is it!" Kang Liang screamed with annoyance.

Hearing this, the man who was being pushed back did not know where to look but he still answered. "W-where is what?"

"The tapes! And don't tell me you don't have them." Kang Liang said threateningly. Looking at the man with complete disgust, Kang Liang said, "You thought that you could just take the tapes and then disappear huh? Well too bad you didn't expect that the security room had its own set of cameras!"

At first, the man was completely confused but as soon as he heard the end of Kang Liang's sentence, he screamed. "Okay, okay! I'll give it to you."

Kang Liang did not believe him, so before Kang Liang let him go he said, "Don't try anything funny. If anything happens to me, someone will come in here and end you."

Despite saying this, everything was a lie. Kang Liang had no backup whatsoever. He was actually completely naked in this position but the way he held himself made the man in front of him believe otherwise.

Looking at Kang Liang with fear, the man gulped and then he nodded.

Seeing this reaction, Kang Liang felt relieved. He then let the man go and followed his every move.

This gave Kang Liang an opportunity to analyze both the man and his home.

The man was short and fat. As he walked around, hunched, searching for the tapes. He huffed and puffed as if he was out of breath. It seemed like Kang Liang had scared him...

As Kang Liang looked at the man, he immediately saw the sweat stains on the man's armpits and there was also a residue beer stain on his off white shirt which made him seem like a complete slob...

Kang Liang was disgusted. The man was a complete mess. And his home was just the same...

The whole place was small. Much smaller than anything Kang Liang had seen and surely much smaller than what the house made it look from the outside. And there were many packing boxes laying around so it was hard to walk but that was not the worst of things. As Kang Liang made it deeper into the man's den, he began to smell something foul and he had no idea if it was the man himself, the house or both.

Putting his hand on his mouth and nose, Kang Liang tried his best not to vomit.

The more Kang Liang looked around the more he wanted to escape this disturbingly disgusting place.

Thank god for him that just as he thought this, the dirty old man had reached into one of the many boxes in his house, and he had pulled out a single, black USB stick.

He then handed this to Kang Liang.

Looking at the man, Kang Liang frowned. "You don't expect me to believe that I went through all this trouble trying to find you so that you can just hand me this. Where's the 'I can't give this to you or else I'll be killed' monologue or the 'you can have this over my dead body'... or is it that you're messing with me and this isn't the tapes...?"

Hearing such things, the man looked at Kang Liang blankly before he spoke.

"I already got paid to erase the tapes. Other than that, I wasn't told to do anything else. So whatever you want to do, do it. I don't care anymore, as long as you don't kill me. My wife left me. I have nothing except for my own life, now." After saying this, the man grabbed an old, dusty laptop from the box. He then wiped it on his chest further dirtying his shirt.

He then placed the laptop on the table, after moving a few empty and half full beer bottles.

After this, he grabbed the charger and began charging his laptop. Once it was on again, he then gestured to Kang Liang to give him the USB.

Kang Liang reluctantly did as such.

"Come on, check if this is what you're looking for." The man said as he lazily took a seat on the couch, right in front of the monitor.

Looking at the monitor, Kang Liang saw a long list of files with names and dates.

"What's all this?" Kang Liang asked curiously.

"All the footage deleted and stolen from Hotel Helios. Isn't this what you wanted?" The man said.

Hearing this, Kang Liang paused for a second as he looked through the long list of files. There were so many of them...

Kang Liang had not expected this.

Looking at the screen, Kang Liang finally located the video that he wanted to watch and so he asked the man to play it.

Once it began to play, Kang Liang's eyes became wide. He then played a couple of other videos until he had a headache. Someone was really planning something...

"Don't leave town, I might come back to ask you a few questions," Taking the USB, Kang Liang looked at the old man who sat on the couch and then Kang Liang asked, "Are you sure you won't get killed for giving me this?"

The man shook his head. "It's been around eight years. It wouldn't be too shocking if I didn't have the files anymore."

Kang Liang wasn't sure if it was because the man was drunk, but he was exceptionally calm about the situation.

Even when Kang Liang left, he did not move an inch from his chair. Which sincerely bothered Kang Liang but now that he had what he had come looking for, he was satisfied.

Once he had gotten the tapes, Kang Liang went home and watched them himself. Watching the screen with complete interest, his eyes suddenly widened as he witnessed a scene he could comprehend but he could not find a reason for.

Without wasting any time, Kang Liang headed to Kang manor. However, when he got there he found out that Kang Jun and Lu AnLing where staying at Kang Jun's house for the day.

Kang Liang did not know where that was but because of his expression, when Elder Kang saw his face, the old man felt bad.

"Give me your phone." The old man said with a sigh.

Kang Liang did not understand why he had to do that but he gave the man the phone anyways.

Once he had the phone, Elder Kang typed something up and then he gave the phone back. "This is Jun's address."

Seeing this, Kang Liang smiled. "Thanks, grandpa!"

"Yeah, yeah. If you believe that then you better come visit me sometimes." Elder Kang grumbled.

Hearing this, Kang Liang smiled.

Kang Liang: "I will! You're seriously the best!"

After saying this Kang Liang left.

Kang Liang rode his motorcycle fast, without caring about red lights or pedestrians. Like a professional, he avoided any and all obstacles with ease, without batting an eyelash.

Once at Kang Jun's home, Kang Liang took off his helmet and laid it on his bike softly before he made his way to the front gates.
