Chapter 88 The Butcher Returns
Night was the best cover. Seeing her captors getting closer and closer, Han Hui jumped down from the roof with her sniper rifle and fled.

Han Hui traveled at night, swam across the Suzhou River before dawn, and then went to Hangzhou.

Han Mengyang heard at work that Ding Gaoming was assassinated last night, but the bullet missed and he is now in the hospital for emergency treatment.

Zhang Ziqiang said, "Boss, I heard there's an assassin lying in ambush along the way. Ding Gaoming led eight people, four of them died, and the other three were injured. I don't know who it was, but it's incredible."

For a demon like Ding Gaoming, whose hands were stained with the blood of his compatriots, going to the eighteen levels of hell would be a bargain. It was a shame that many assassination attempts had failed, so I just hoped this time would be successful.

Han Mengyang's heart skipped a beat: "Do you know why Ding Gaoming appeared on that road?"

Zhang Ziqiang didn't answer but asked, "Boss, the day before yesterday, the vice president of Heiyuan Company, Nomura Mitsuaki, got married at the Golden Gate Hotel. Did you know about this?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ziqiang is a gang member with extensive connections. When he's not delivering goods, he's in charge of gathering information. He said, "My brother said more than a dozen people died in their sleep yesterday. They all had one thing in common: they all attended Nomura Mitsuki's wedding banquet the day before yesterday."

"Shi Wenlong, the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, was found dead at home yesterday evening. Ding Gaoming received the news and went to investigate, but was assassinated on his way back."

There was no doubt about it now; Han Mengyang was certain the killer was Han Hui. The assassination of Ding Gaoming was carried out using the same method as the assassination of Shanye Duojiang. He just didn't know where this girl was now.

Han Mengyang was anxious, but he didn't show it on his face: "This matter involves too many people. Don't ask about it for now, so as not to get caught up in it."

"it is good."

In the evening, Han Mengyang returned home from get off work and saw Huang Shufen cooking. He immediately took off his coat and went to help.

Huang Shufen smiled and pushed him out, saying, "It's just two dishes, they'll be ready soon."

Han Mengyang didn't listen and stayed in the kitchen to help.

When the dishes were served, Huang Shufen couldn't help but say as she sat down, "I wonder when Xiaoman will be back? I can't even enjoy my meal when she's not home."

Han Hui is a big eater. Seeing her eating with big mouthfuls, I can't help but feel hungry.

Han Mengyang was extremely worried, but he didn't dare show it in front of Huang Shufen: "This girl is having so much fun over there that she doesn't want to leave. Now I don't know where she went to play, and it's impossible to get her to come back."

Huang Shufen smiled and said, "This child has suffered a lot following me over the years. It's rare for her to like a place, so let her keep an eye on it for a while."

Han Mengyang nodded and said, "I'll listen to you. Let her have fun over there."

At noon the next day, Han Mengyang received news that Ding Gaoming had been rescued.

Zhang Ziqiang couldn't help but curse: "Good people don't live long, but evil will last for thousands of years."

Han Mengyang was skeptical of this news. Given his sister's marksmanship, his chances of escaping her gun were slim. He suspected this was a trap set by the Japanese to lure his sister out.

Just as she was worried about Han Hui, the secretary came in with a telegram: "Boss, the young boss sent a telegram saying she will come tomorrow."

Han Mengyang breathed a sigh of relief. If she wasn't in Shanghai, no one would suspect her. If Ding Gaoming's serious injury and coma were truly a trap, then their plan would have failed.

Meanwhile, Fujimoto Ryono was throwing a tantrum in the office: "You good-for-nothings! It's been a whole day and night, and you haven't even found the butcher."

At the ambush site, Han Hui left a piece of rice paper with the name "Butcher" written on it, intending to warn the Japanese and traitors that he was always there. After Fujimoto Ryono obtained the paper, she immediately dispatched a large-scale search. The subordinates were also anxious, arresting anyone who resembled the Butcher.

All the subordinates dared not breathe, they were afraid that if they answered, the matter would fall on their heads. By then, they might not catch the butcher, but be assassinated by him first.

Fujimoto Ryono looked at his confidant, Nakajima Maki, and said, "This butcher is very skilled in martial arts. Maki, take your men and check out anyone who knows martial arts."

"Hay."

Fujimoto Ryono then looked at the other group's leader and said, "Kawaguchi, you and Deputy Director Li will investigate the poisoning of the guests at the Golden Gate Hotel."

Hekou didn't want to take on this hot potato. He said, "Section Chief, why would the butcher be lying in ambush on the road leading to the Shi Mansion? I suspect he was responsible for the poisoning at the Jindamen Hotel. He knew Shi Wenlong would die if he drank the poisoned red wine, so he waited for Director Ding halfway."

After a pause, Kawaguchi said, "Section Chief, Mr. Yamano went to visit his close friend who was attacked and injured and was hospitalized. As a result, the butcher ambushed him across from the hospital and assassinated him."

Fujimoto Ryono had already speculated this, but until now they still knew nothing about the butcher, which was a very scary thing. This showed that the butcher was not only good at martial arts and marksmanship, but also good at hiding his whereabouts.

Three days later, Han Hui returned to Shanghai. She bought a bunch of local specialties and showed them off to Huang Shufen as if they were treasures.

Han Hui said with some regret: "Mom, it would be great if you could go with me. The scenery there is really beautiful. If you and brother weren't in Shanghai, I wouldn't have come back."

"Is it really that beautiful?"

Han Hui smiled and said, "As the old saying goes, there's heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. You can imagine how beautiful it is there."

After a pause, she continued, "Mom, not only is the scenery there picturesque, but things are also cheap. Mom, we're tired of staying in Shanghai, so let's move to Hangzhou."

Han Yongjing was already dead, and next up were Zhao Anna and Han Youwei. Once they were dealt with one by one, her mission should be complete. She wanted to settle Huang Shufen before leaving. Shanghai wasn't a good place to live; it was dangerous and expensive. However, Huang Shufen's wishes were paramount.

Huang Shufen said with a smile, "Hangzhou is so beautiful. Take me there when you get the chance. Even if we move there, your brother is in Shanghai, and we need to be together as a family to be complete."

Han Hui didn't want to continue this topic: "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat the braised pork knuckle, steamed lion's head and braised prawns you made."

Huang Shufen said cheerfully, "Don't worry, knowing you'd be home today, your brother went to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables. He bought all your favorites."

Han Mengyang came back from get off work, and after dinner he couldn't wait to pull Han Hui to the study on the third floor.

Huang Shufen said with a smile as she cleared the dishes, "Meng Yang, take it easy. Xiao Man is already a grown-up girl, so she should know when to act."

Arriving at the study on the third floor, Han Mengyang lowered his voice and asked, "Xiaoman, the red wine at the Jindamen Hotel was poisoned. Was it you who did this?"

I have some guesses in my mind, but I need Han Hui to admit it in person.

Han Hui asked, "So what if it's me? So what if it's not me?"

Han Mengyang said in a voice that was shared by only two people: "Do you still have this poison? If so, can you give it all to me?"

Han Hui thought Han Mengyang was going to scold her, but unexpectedly he was asking her for poison: "No, I have used it all up."

In fact, Yirizui still had more than half a bottle left. However, since this poison could not be produced in this era, she could not give it to Han Mengyang.
