Chapter 900: Failed to Capture Yang Tao

I was too weak to sit on the floor, staring at the emergency room door.

I kept smoking.

A pack of cigarettes was nearly smoked down.

Soon, Zhu Sheng arrived.

He looked at me and said, "Jianqiang, I know your situation is distressing. This is unavoidable; no one expected Li Ming would do something so irrational.

He dared to use a car to hit Xiao Long."

I asked Zhu Sheng, "Zhu Sheng, have we caught Li Ming?"

Zhu Sheng shook his head and said,

"Now every intersection in the Provincial Capital has dedicated personnel checking vehicles, and the highways have tightened control.

We believe Li Ming and his group can't escape. Li Ming is very experienced; he used to work in this field, knows how to conceal himself, so capturing him is somewhat difficult."

I listened to Zhu Sheng's words,

"Zhu Sheng, we must catch Li Ming and Yang Tao. Otherwise Xiao Long would have been injured for nothing."

"We will definitely catch them; I have already issued a death‑order to the Provincial Department. Yet they didn't take the highway, which is strange. According to their plan, they should have rushed to Sheep City, then taken a plane to leave for the United Kingdom." Zhu Sheng said.

"But, Zhu Sheng, they can't catch the plane now.

Do you understand what I mean? They probably aren't in a hurry to go to Sheep City now.

Instead, they are trying to hide for now, waiting for the storm to pass before leaving.

They have already gotten the money,

but they still can't use it.

Because this account can only be used abroad." I analyzed.

"You're right; we didn't anticipate that Yang Tao would pull this move—she was actually already prepared,

once we get the money in hand, she will act.

It's a huge sum. Perhaps when she set up an offshore company, she had already prepared two sets of corporate documents.

It's just that I didn't notice. Those days I was occupied thinking about Geng Ping.

Sigh." Zhu Sheng exhaled.

"Zhu Sheng, if you held this money, what would you do?" I asked Zhu Sheng.

"If I have this money, I would definitely look for a way to run; only by leaving would there be a chance. Otherwise, the money is useless domestically.

Also, Li Ming ran over Xiao Long,

which shows Li Ming is now completely aligned with Yang Tao,

and he has no way back.

So there is only one path leading to darkness." Zhu Sheng analyzed.

"Now let's analyze Li Ming and Yang Tao's thinking.

After they got the money, they didn't expect our actions to be so swift,

to go to the airport to find them.

All this has disrupted their operation.

Secondly, Li Ming didn't anticipate Xiao Long would block his car.

He could only hit Xiao Long; I believe Li Ming's heart was also in pain, as Xiao Long is his own son.

He knew the consequences of that crash.

Now they want to get out urgently.

The plane is no longer possible; they can only travel by land.

Moreover, Yang Tao knows the source of the money; she thinks we wouldn't dare to capture them openly.

I think the more they hurry to leave, the more chaotic their actions become.

Zhu Sheng, there's another matter,

we only see Yang Tao and Li Ming; are there others behind them?

We need to know why Yang Tao took Li Ming to Xianggang,

what her purpose was.

We haven't analyzed it properly." I said earnestly to Zhu Sheng.

At this moment, Zhu Sheng picked up a cigarette from the ashtray on the floor and lit it,

"Jianqiang, you're right; Yang Tao in Xianggang will certainly interact with others.

It's just that we don't understand yet."

"Xiao Long said that Yang Tao and Li Ming are in Xianggang; the two go to the casino every day,

Do they really gamble? Unlikely; they may be meeting others at the casino.

Those people might receive promises from Yang Tao,

perhaps they are jointly involved in the whole scheme Yang Tao planned.

Thus, if Li Ming and Yang Tao want to leave the Provincial Capital, they will inevitably contact outside people for assistance.

Because we have already disrupted their original plan." I pulled out another cigarette.

It's the last one.

"You're right, we should investigate who Yang Tao and Li Ming have been in contact with in Xianggang; if they come to the Provincial Capital now, we can follow the trail and locate them.

which is stronger than our current random searching." Zhu Sheng said.

"Zhu Sheng, Xiao Long's injury, we really can't go to Sijiucheng Hospital for rescue." I said.

Zhu Sheng waved his hand at that moment.

I just spoke with Director Zhou; Xiao Long can only go to Sijiucheng after his life‑threatening condition is resolved, otherwise any trouble on the road would make rescue impossible.

Jianqiang, I understand how you feel.

I've already transferred the best doctors from Sheng Li Yi Yuan; trust them.

Hearing Zhu Sheng say that, I have nothing more to add.

Zhu Sheng has already deployed all his resources,

and now we can only pray for Xiao Long's fate.

There is no other way.

I fell silent for a moment,

"Zhu Sheng, how are the investigations in Xianggang proceeding, and who has Yang Tao been in contact with?"

"I'm contacting people at the Provincial Department now, asking them to send someone over to investigate," Zhu Sheng said.

"Too late, Zhu Sheng. Hand this over to me; I'll take care of it. We must act quickly, otherwise they'll take Yang Tao and Li Ming out,

and that would be the end of it. You have to know this money is extremely tempting," I said.

"Alright, hurry and get it done.

I'll return to the Provincial Department, order more intensive sweeps, and see if we can catch them tonight," Zhu Sheng finished, stood up, and left.

I went back downstairs to the convenience store and bought two packs of cigarettes.

I didn't go upstairs again, because once I reach the rescue room doorway, I can't control my emotions.

I stood on a step,

lit a cigarette and took a drag,

and started coughing.

Maybe I've smoked too much, maybe my mind is too chaotic now.

Zhu Sheng surprisingly didn't capture Yang Tao and Li Ming.

Sigh, I pulled out my phone, found Ruan Wei's number, and called.

"Zhao Ge, hello," Ruan Wei asked.

"Hello Ruan Wei, I need a favor: you must, as fast as possible, help me check,

who Yang Tao and Li Ming have been in contact with at the casinos in Xianggang and Tai Ao.

It must be quick. I need it urgently," I instructed Ruan Wei.

"Zhao Ge, are Yang Tao and Li Ming following those two people of yours?" Ruan Wei asked.

"Yes, they've now betrayed me; they're my enemies," I said.

"Alright, as long as they're Zhao Ge's enemies, they're also my enemies, Ruan Wei."

"Zhao Ge, I've met those two; they once went to Xianggang together with Ding Li."

Ding Li introduced them to me.

I'm going to investigate right now.

"I believe we'll have news soon," Ruan Wei said.

"Alright, brother, I appreciate it," I said, then hung up.

After the call, I stubbed out the cigarette.

I looked up at the night sky; a full moon was already hanging in the heavens, truly

beautiful. But I no longer have the mood to look at the moon.

Xiao Long's side still can't be left unattended,

I hesitated a moment, I decided to call Fang

She is the most suitable right now.

I found Fang Rui's number and dialed.

Fang Rui answered quickly,

"Sir, hello, what's the matter?"

"Fang Rui, come to Sheng Li Yi Yuan in the Provincial Capital as soon as possible.

Xiao Long has some issue; I'm waiting here for you," I said helplessly.

"Sir, what's wrong with Xiao Long, what exactly happened?" Fang Rui asked frantically over the phone.

I can't explain it plainly to Fang Rui.

How can Fang Rui get to the Provincial Capital? Let Li Jia pick her up; Li Jia's driving skills are good.
