Chapter 488: Ringo’s troubles

Ringo, or Jun Muchen had a serious problem. Last night when he went out on a special mission to grab and transport someone things had become a bit bloody as a result of a struggle. It was not his fault that the mark tried to escape, people that were committing crimes against the empire did not just sit and wait to be arrested, they often tried to scurry away like sewer rats.He successfully got his mark and delivered him to the intelligence department of the army but he had bumped into a witness. Not just a witness but one that was taking pictures and the beat down was captured. The photographer escaped before he could catch her. Normally, this witness would have to be taken to the intelligence department and given stern and life threatening warnings but since she managed to escape, the hunt for her was on.

The department was very worried about the details of an operation which was not yet finished being revealed. Ringo was anxiously waiting to see his picture online or on a newspaper with some misguided headline. He barely slept that night he was too anxious for the first time in a long time.

Because he hardly slept he left bed so early in the morning and went out for a run, after the run he passed by Juan tea shop which opened as early as half past five every morning. There was only one employee in the shop at this time of the morning as usual.

"Good morning Meili." he greeted the tall beautiful man.

"Good morning Ringo, the usual?" he asked.

"Yes and five of those strawberry lemon bear shaped cookies." Whenever he came slept at home he made it a point to take some tea and eat a snack from this tea shop. It was not just because his sister-in-law owned the shop, it was also because their tea and snacks were quite delicious.

Meili returned after a minute with his order and then he went back behind the counter.

Ringo always wondered why this guy never said much, he always tried to engage him in conversation but he was either uninterested or he was too guarded. He was so hard to read that he would have made a good interrogator.

"It’s a nice day for a run." Ringo said.

"Hmm." Meili replied.

"We should hung out together sometime, grab some drinks and play a game of basket ball. "

"Sure." Meili answered dryly.

Ringo sighed, talking to Meili was futile. He looked up at the television which had just been switched on watched and the news, specifically phoenix television morning news.

"A family of three was found dead this morning along the trails of Fundao mountain." a news anchor announced. Gruesome pictures which were blurred in some parts were shown.

"Tsk, tsk, there is nothing good to report in the news anymore, it’s always bad news." Ringo looked away from the television and he pulled his phone out of his pocket. He was waiting for updates on the identity of the woman that escaped, he had been assured that he would have it before seven in the morning today.

Two people came into the shop but he did not look up, he did hear what they were saying however. From the scents that they emitted he could tell that one was male and the other was female.

"Aiguo," he heard the female saying, "When you told me that you got a job serving people I thought it was joke. You really work in place?"

"Yes sis, my best friend’s sister owns the tea shop. You know her, she is Jun Muyang’s wife."

"I have been out of the country but I saw the pictures of their engagement online." she replied.

"Were you sad? Dad said that you used to have a crush on Jun Muyang." the male replied.

"Stop blabbing nonsense, I was twelve years old back then. I have grown up, I like heroic men now. What is your best selling product, I want to be wowed."

Ringo chuckled silently and he looked up to see the face of this woman that once had a crush on his brother and alas!, it was the one whose face had haunted him in his sleep last night and not in a good way.

Swiftly, he stood up, walked over and grabbed her arm. She looked like a startled rabbit when she saw him and he could see the recognition in her eyes.

"I believe we need to talk." he said.

"Who are you?" she shouted in horror, "Let go of me." She raised her other hand to punch him but he dodged it.

"Let’s not be too hasty little peeping rabbit." Ringo warned her with a smile on his face.

’Hey, let go of my sister." Aiguo intervened.

"No." Ringo responded. "Your sister here took something that does not belong to her, she needs to give it back to me." He recognized Jiang Aiguo and he called the girl his sister so that meant she was a daughter of the Jiang family. No matter where she run to now in this empire, he could find her.

"What are you talking about? I have never met you, Aiguo call the police."

"I am carrying out military duties." Ringo produced the ID which he always carried around in his pocket that proved he was from the military, serving a special police officer. " I will return your sister as soon as we clear some things up." He lifted her up forcefully, throwing her over his shoulders and he raced out of the tea shop.

"Wait," Aiguo tried to run after them, "You Jun Ringo bastard, return my sister." he shouted but he failed to catch up. He helplessly watched his sister being abducted right before his very eyes. After thinking for a few seconds, Aiguo made a call to his father to report the situation. "Dad, the Jun family’s oldest son kidnapped sister, he said that she took something from him last night."

The kidnapped sister was doing her best to kick, scratch and beat Ringo so that he would let go of her but all to no avail. She soon found herself trapped inside of the car with this man who she thought was the most hateful man in the world.

"Give it to me." Ringo told her.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." she insisted.

"What you saw last night was a military operation whose details cannot be known to any civilian. If you insist on keeping the picture or pictures that you took then I have no choice but to hand you over to the military. The number of officers on the hunt for you right now is quite large and if they find you, which they will you are going to be arrested. "

"I committed no crime." she said stubbornly.

"It doesn’t matter, for as long as the operation is ongoing you are a threat. What if the opponents get their hands on you and you reveal my identity?" He looked at her suspiciously and shook his head, "You could also be part of their group for all I know."

She bared her teeth threateningly, like an animal which was ready to pounce. "I am not part of any group, I was visiting my friend Shan-Shan and then I took random pictures of the street, it was not my fault that you almost beat that man to death." She accidentally revealed what she saw and then she covered her mouth.

Ringo shook his head and he asked her, ’What is your name?"

She shook her head and closed her mouth.

"If you don’t tell me I am going to make a call and you will find yourself in a dark cell for the next unforeseeable future. Not even your Jiang family will be able to save you. Tell me your name and the two of us can come to an understanding which will save you from that future."

She looked unsure, her small fists were clenched tightly and she continued to stare hostilely at him.

"Jiang Cherry." she said through gritted teeth.

"Well Miss Cherry, I am afraid that we are going to be stuck together for a while, get comfortable while I talk to my superiors and they figure out the next steps."

"I will give you the pictures, we can pretend that I did not see anything." she said slightly desperately. All she wanted to do now was get away from him.

"I am afraid that it’s not going to be so simple." Ringo told her with a sigh. "These are matters of national security."
