Chapter 226: Zhou Fuhai Ran Away

Shangguan Zhuren urgently said over the phone, "Jianqiang, it's bad, Zhou Fuhai has run away from Lanling."

"What, how did Zhou Fuhai, under Shangguan Zhuren, run away?" I asked.

"Ah, forget it, maybe the rosemary tea's effect wore off after a long time. After we gave Zhou Fuhai the tea, he fell asleep for a while then woke up."

He kept pretending to sleep.

"Taking advantage of the evening, while I was eating with Shi Yong, he actually jumped out the window and ran away." Shangguan Zhuren said.

That was the fourth floor; this Zhou Fuhai is really not simple.

I asked Shangguan Zhuren, "Shi Yong ran, didn't you go after him?"

"Shi Yong went after him, but couldn't catch this guy at all. This guy is really formidable; if we had known, we would have sealed the windows."

I said, "Shangguan Zhuren, he's already run away; what should we do next?"

"Hurry back, otherwise if they discover your false identity, it'll be trouble."

I said, "Go back to Cui Zhu Garden in Xin Cheng?"

"Or go back to Lanling; Xin Cheng is no longer safe." Shangguan Zhuren said.

"How about this, Shangguan Zhuren: we go back to Shanghu, where I still have a guesthouse. Once there, we won't have to worry about food or lodging." I said.

"Alright, let's go to Shanghu. Shi Yong and I will head there first." Shangguan Zhuren asked.

"No need, you and Shi Yong drive to the Zaocheng Grand Hotel; there are cars here. We'll take two vehicles." I said.

Shangguan Zhuren said, "Okay."

Then he hung up the phone.

With Zhou Fuhai's escape, all our original plans have to be revised.

I hurriedly packed my things, gathering Zhou Fuhai's wallet, computer, phone, and clothing together.

I need to leave the Zaocheng Grand Hotel quickly.

By the way, I also took Kang Yali's small camcorder, which contains many secrets that cannot be disclosed.

After finishing packing those items, I checked the time,

feeling that Shi Yong would arrive soon,

so I quickly carried my things downstairs.

As I was about to leave, I saw Ya Li sleeping soundly on the bed,

thinking to myself, "Your mission is accomplished, well done."

"The money has been collected, the person and the car have been secured; from now on, if we meet Kang Yali again, we will be enemies."

I then slammed the door shut with a bang.

I believe Kang Yali will have a good sleep.

I didn't check out, anyway this room wasn't booked by me.

I quickly arrived at the underground parking garage.

I took out my phone to contact Shi Yong, asking him to come to the underground garage to find me.

At that moment I started Zhou Fuhai's car,

waiting for Shi Yong; shortly after, Shi Yong and Shangguan Zhuren drove in from outside.

I said to Shi Yong and Shangguan Zhuren, "You take that car; we'll head to Shanghu first."

Shi Yong, seeing it was an off-road vehicle, became very happy,

and asked, "Brother, who gave us this car?"

I said, "Kang Yali and Niu Ju gave it to us."

"Ah, they gave it? On what basis did they give us the car?" Shi Yong said, somewhat disbelieving.

I laughed,

"Not just the car, there's also money; when I reach Shanghu I'll explain everything to you properly. Let's hurry and drive off."

Shangguan Zhuren got into Shi Yong's car,

Shi Yong drove toward Shanghu.

I followed closely behind.

As we were about to reach Shanghu,

I suddenly called for Shi Yong's car to stop.

Shi Yong got out of the car and asked me,

"Brother, what's wrong, make me stop."

At that moment I took out a jammer from my pocket and went into Shi Yong's car.

Since Niu Ju gave us these things, I must be extremely careful; if there is a bug or tracker in the car, it would be trouble—equivalent to leading Niu Ju straight to Shanghu.

I began checking inside and outside the car.

Sure enough, the jammer sounded—it was coming from the rear seat.

I had Shi Yong quickly locate the tracker.

After Shi Yong found the tracker, he wanted to stomp on it, but I quickly stopped him,

"Shi Yong, just toss it onto any passing car and let them track that instead. Also, remove the license plates from both of our vehicles."

Shi Yong said to me, "Brother, your method is better; this way they won't be able to track us at all."

Shi Yong, holding a screwdriver, quickly removed the license plates from both cars and then tossed them into the roadside ditch.

Just then, a coal transport vehicle from out of town came by.

Shi Yong casually tossed the bug onto that coal truck.

That coal truck roared past beside us.

I believe Niu Ju will be able to directly find a certain power plant by following the tracker.

Shi Yong and I drove onto the road again.

We soon arrived at Shanghu's Daily New Guesthouse, and I had Ding Mei get us each a room.

I then parked the car in the courtyard garage.

I had already bought the entire Shanghu grain depot and converted it all into a guesthouse.

For parking convenience, I built another ten or so garages.

After Shi Yong and I had parked the car,

Shangguan Zhuren let out a long breath,

"Jianqiang, we're finally safe—I was worried sick."

I said, "Shangguan Zhuren, you wouldn't expect we have an unexpected gain."

Shangguan Zhuren asked, bewildered, "What unexpected gain?"

At this moment I opened Zhou Fuhai's car door,

Inside, seven large bags were neatly arranged.

Shi Yong asked me, "Brother, what is this?"

I smiled without answering,

I told Shi Yong, "Hurry up and bring the bags back to the room."

Shi Yong struggled to pull the bags down from the car.

He said, "What the heck is this so heavy?"

I said, "Hmph, Shi Yong, you could never dream what's inside."

"I heard you say you and Kang Yali were... you wouldn't have dismembered her, would you?"

"You Shi Yong, have you been reading too many horror novels? I'm not that inhumane." I finished speaking and also picked up a bag.

Shi Yong laughed,

"It's hard to say—this woman is so terrible, if you saw her you'd surely lose control and lash out; one slip and you could kill someone, and if you did, what would you do? You'd have to just pack it up."

"Alright, stop grossing me out—hurry up and take them upstairs." I told Shi Yong.

Shi Yong walked off carrying a bag.

I also hefted a bag with effort, just then Shangguan Zhuren came over, wanting to help, but he couldn't lift this bag.

I said, "Shangguan Zhuren, go upstairs first and wait for us."

Shangguan Zhuren had no choice but to go upstairs. He sat in the room waiting for us.

Shi Yong and I carried all the bags upstairs.

Shi Yong then sat on a stool, panting and smoking,

"What the heck is this? It's so heavy, as hard as stone."

I stood up and walked over to a bag,

then opened its zipper,

revealing a stack of red banknotes inside.

Shi Yong was instantly stunned,

"Ah." He then shouted loudly.

He then opened the zippers on all the remaining bags.

Inside were nothing but money.

"Brother, just how much money is this? Why is there so much?"

At this moment I took out a cigarette,

"Shi Yong, you never would have guessed—we've struck it rich."

Shangguan Zhuren looked at all that money and also hurriedly asked, "Jianqiang, just what's going on? Where did you get all this money?"

I laughed and said, "We've been accepting gifts—this year we don't accept holiday gifts, we only accept money, only money. They were sent by people, including cars and women."

"Damn, being in Zhou Fuhai's position is damn happy."

"Just one sentence can net this much money."
