Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Gunshots on a Rainy Night 4

He Zhilan lifted her head covered in dried bloodstains, which she dared not wash off, "Xing Ye, you don’t know, in the military, he and I were quite familiar. Every time I visited my brother’s unit, he and Kang Xing took special care of me, even after my divorce from He Teng, he would still call me ’sister-in-law’ all day long."

"Have you notified He Teng?" Xing Ye was currently unaware of the matters in the military, and moreover, being undercover was an extremely dangerous and highly confidential mission, so the information about the undercover agents was very well protected. Niu Rang had come to S Province, and he hadn’t received any notice of it.

He Zhilan shook her head, "I called his office phone but no one answered; it’s so late, he should have returned home."

Mentioning He Teng, He Zhilan abruptly turned around and said, "Xing Ye! Have someone watch over Niu Rang here, and send me back home right away! I have something to give to you! It’s something Niu Rang left for me to pass on to you or He Teng."

Although Xing Ye didn’t know Niu Rang, before Niu Rang came here on his mission, he must have understood the situation here and knew about the relationship between Xing Ye and He Teng, hence he mentioned Xing Ye.

Seeing that He Zhilan said it was something left by Niu Rang, Xing Ye left two men at the hospital and immediately took He Zhilan back to her residence.

In the car, He Zhilan finally told Xing Ye about receiving the box, "Inside was a white dress and a black handgun. Niu Rang told me to give the white dress to his fiancée and the handgun to you or He Teng."

Had Niu Rang not mentioned it before his death, He Zhilan probably would never have guessed that those two items were left by Niu Rang.

Xing Ye drove the car as fast as he could, and now it was past four in the morning. On the streets, there wasn’t a car to be seen, let alone a shadow of a person. They sped all the way to He Zhilan’s residence, where Xing Ye followed He Zhilan directly upstairs.

However, as soon as they reached the door and saw it was ajar, both were taken aback.

Xing Ye gestured to He Zhilan to retreat and hide behind, and then he quietly approached, peeked through the door crack to observe any movements inside the house, and then kicked the door open forcefully. After waiting for a while and hearing no sound from inside, he stepped in.

Seeing the mess inside, Xing Ye knew that they were probably too late.

"Come in!" Xing Ye called He Zhilan, who was waiting outside, then said, "Someone got here before us, your place has been turned upside down, and the items were probably taken by them."

"I just received the items that Niu Rang left in the hotel for me this morning, and Niu Rang met with trouble tonight; the place I had just moved into was ransacked," He Zhilan frowned, "This timing, isn’t it too tight?"

"Niu Rang giving the items to you probably meant he knew he was exposed; thus, he had no time to pass on what he found to others and had to rush to get the items to you," Xing Ye suggested, "The person who left the items in the hotel definitely wasn’t Niu Rang himself."

"So you’re saying that by the time Niu Rang prepared these items to be delivered to me at the hotel, he had already been exposed and was being secretly watched by someone?" inquired He Zhilan.

"That’s the only possibility. The gun must signify something, or, he left something in the gun," Xing Ye glanced at the disheveled room, "Check if anything is missing, see if anything else is gone."

Xing Ye felt that the chances of the gun still being there were almost zero.
