1773 True Colors
Jin Ji’en had managed to keep his true identity a secret for a long time, thanks to rumors that he had many faces.
No one knew which one was his real face.
As a major drug lord, it was not unusual to change his appearance while moving around in public, but Jin Ji’en was clearly better at it than others.
Some even speculated that his name could be fake too.
After all these years, all people knew was that his influence and the goods he controlled kept increasing in amount, but no one could find out who he really was.
Even the international police had been trying to locate him for years with no success.
In addition to his many faces, he seemed to be able to vanish without a trace.
With these advantages, who could possibly find him?
Without finding him, there was no way to solve the problem at hand.
Han Rui had already prepared for a long-term fight, and he had mentally prepared himself for the possibility of returning empty-handed after several years.
Now Xia Xibei was telling him that she knew Jin Ji’en’s actual identity?
That had to be a joke!
“Don’t joke with me, you don’t even know who Jin Ji’en is!” he said, shaking his head in disbelief.
In his opinion, Xia Xibei must be joking, because how could an ordinary girl like her possibly know about such a person?
Well, her performance was far from ordinary.
“I’m not kidding you,” Xia Xibei said, shaking her head.
Qiao Yanjue also nodded and said, “This is not something to joke about.”
He pulled Han Rui to the couch and said, “We didn’t know about Jin Ji’en before, but based on what you said about his many faces, we have confirmed his identity.”
Right as Han Rui mentioned Jin Ji’en’s many faces, they were completely convinced of their speculation.
Who else could possibly be capable of that apart from Jiang Rongguang?
“Are you actually serious?” Han Rui was in a huge dilemma.
He was surely hoping that they weren’t joking, but it was… Too much to believe!
They didn’t have the same status as him, so how could they possibly have come into contact with Jin Ji’en?
“We had some conflicts with a person before, and found that something was amiss after looking into it. Now it seems… It may be related to your end of things,” Qiao Yanjue explained their relationship with Jin Ji’en in a few words.
Han Rui was still in disbelief after listening to him. Was it really just a coincidence?
“It’s just a coincidence,” Qiao Yanjue nodded confidently.
“Don’t worry, it’s not like we’ll harm you,” Xia Xibei added, “Our goal is the same: to catch the person.”
If they didn’t catch him, who knew how much trouble they would have to deal with in the future?
At the very least, they had to catch Ling Juan.
“Okay, then.”
After some hesitation, Han Rui decided to believe what they said.
It didn’t make sense for them to joke around like this.
“I made a drawing of Jin Ji’en’s true appearance,” Xia Xibei said as she took out the picture she had drawn earlier.
Han Rui was stunned for a second after seeing the man in the drawing.
“He’s… Not even ugly!”
Jin Ji’en looked quite young in the picture.
“And isn’t he already in his fifties? He doesn’t look like it though!” Han Rui remarked.
“He must have some miraculous way of preserving his youth,” Xia Xibei said calmly, “We also found some leads that we can give to you to follow up on.”
Their previous attempts at keeping an eye on Jiang Rongguang had only yielded some of his assets on the surface level, with no specific information on his illegal activities.
However, Han Rui was aware of his illicit operations.
Combining their information should allow them to quickly locate Jiang Rongguang.
“Okay,” Han Rui nodded in agreement.
