Chapter 901: Ruan Wei's News

When Fang Rui and Li Jia arrived, it was already 2 a. m.

Xiao Long's rescue is still ongoing.

They have been rescuing for more than seven hours.

The rescue room's door has not been opened yet.

This shows how severe Xiao Long's injuries are.

After learning of Xiao Long's condition, Fang Rui cried as if the heavens and earth had darkened.

Li Jia coaxed for a long time before Fang Rui finally stopped crying.

I could only quietly wipe my tears beside them.

Sigh, it's too late for any words.

All we can do is hope Xiao Long can get through this hurdle.

Just then, my phone rang,

I saw it was Ruan Wei calling,

"Ruan Wei, how's your investigation going?" I asked directly.

"Zhao Ge, we've already found out.

Yang Tao is in contact with a person named Mo Yu in Xianggang. This Mo Yu belongs to a gang in Xianggang.

He's a scoundrel.

Mo Yu introduced Yang Tao to a money‑laundering company over in Tai O.

They agreed to cooperate with Yang Tao.

Yang Tao didn't come back alone this time; they returned together with people from the money‑laundering company.

That means once Yang Tao gets the money, they'll all leave together, and Yang Tao's payment to them is one hundred million," Ruan Wei said on the phone.

Yang Tao really is generous, giving them a hundred million outright. Indeed, men die for money, birds die for food.

Only driven by profit would they dare to do anything.

"Right now Yang Tao hasn't left yet,

what will their money‑laundering company do? Can't they just leave Yang Tao here?" I said.

"Of course. You have to know that only Yang Tao can withdraw that money; no one else can touch it.

So the money‑laundering company has already sent people; they're preparing to smuggle Yang Tao out," Ruan Wei said.

"Smuggling out, here is Qilu, far from your location.

Aren't they afraid of checkpoints on the way?" I asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Zhao Ge, why don't you understand? Besides our place, smuggling is possible in other coastal cities.

Qingdao, after all, is an international major port.

As long as you bribe the staff inside,

the smuggler can get into a container and go out with a cargo ship.

It's also close to Japan. Some fishing boats can reach the high seas, and the other side will send a vessel to pick them up," Ruan Wei said over the phone.

I understood at once,

they want to go directly out of Qingdao.

That would make things much simpler.

From the Provincial Capital to Qingdao, taking the highway takes about three hours.

It's the fastest method.

"Ruan Wei, we haven't captured Yang Tao or Li Ming here,

but they must get near Qingdao to smuggle out.

How can we find them?" I asked anxiously.

"Zhao Ge, Yang Tao and his group are definitely still hiding in the Provincial Capital. The information I gathered is that the money‑laundering company's people have already set out; they intend to fetch Yang Tao out of the Provincial Capital.

Otherwise Yang Tao couldn't escape at all.

I heard the money‑laundering company has already sent people to pick up Yang Tao," Ruan Wei said on the phone.

"Where is the rendezvous?" I asked.

"Zhao Ge, I really couldn't find that out, because it involves their core secrets, and they won't tell.

They only said they sent people to fetch him; they will have a way to get Yang Tao out.

And there may be people from the money‑laundering company protecting Yang Tao," Ruan Wei said.

"Ruan Wei, could you find out concrete details, like who is coming to the Provincial Capital to fetch Yang Tao,

where they will meet them,

what time the pickup is.

No matter how much it costs, it's fine, even if Zhao Ge begs you," I pleaded to Ruan Wei over the phone.

"Zhao Ge, based on what you said,

I'll investigate further, but that will take time.

You need to wait patiently," Ruan Wei said.

"Alright, brother, I trouble you; once it's done, I'll repay you greatly," I said, then hung up.

After hanging up, I quickly contacted Zhu Sheng,

"Zhu Sheng, I've found out that Yang Tao is in contact with a money‑laundering company in Tai O, and they came back together,

now the money‑laundering company has sent people to fetch Yang Tao,

they plan to smuggle out near Qingdao."

Jianqiang, we have already found the black car.

And we have also caught the person inside,

It's not Yang Tao and them, but a person from the south.

He said he came back together with Yang Tao,

Yang Tao couldn't get on the plane, so they knew something had happened.

After Li Ming hit Xiao Long, they drove the car to a place outside one kilometer,

Yang Tao exchanged cars with this person.

This person drove Yang Tao's car, wandering around the Provincial Capital, deliberately attracting our attention.

This makes it convenient for Yang Tao to escape; I said, how come we can't catch this woman,

Really damn cunning.

The information you said is very important; I will immediately report it to the Provincial Department.

Have them contact the Qingdao side. Zhu Sheng said.

Okay, Zhu Sheng.

Also, I estimate Yang Tao hasn't left the Provincial Capital.

Otherwise, the money‑laundering company wouldn't have sent people to pick them up. I said.

Right, that's how it is; you keep inquiring who is coming to pick up Yang Tao and them, where they meet, and what time.

That way we can directly apprehend them. Zhu Sheng said.

I will do my best to gather this information, Zhu Sheng; you let the Provincial Department people thoroughly interrogate the person who was with Yang Tao,

to see if we can find any valuable clues.

Such as the vehicle or phone number, etc. I said.

I have already arranged for the Provincial Department's friends to do that.

Jianqiang, we will split up; as soon as we have news, everyone should notify each other.

Yang Tao and Li Ming will leave as soon as possible.

Hiding here for one minute adds one minute of danger.

That's why we called the money‑laundering company's people to pick them up.

Now they are like startled birds,

Hmph, they can't escape. Zhu Sheng said firmly.

Zhu Sheng, we just haven't found them yet.

Yang Tao and Li Ming aren't very familiar with the Provincial Capital either.

I think they will definitely leave here before dawn,

so I think all routes should be blocked; we need to check everyone entering and exiting.

Print out photos of Yang Tao and Li Ming for the checkpoint personnel to look at.

Only then can we catch them.

Okay, Jianqiang, I'll arrange it.

By the way, how is Xiao Long? Zhu Sheng asked.

Xiao Long is still being rescued. I said.

Sigh, I only hope this kid Xiao Long can pull through.

This Li Ming is truly not human. Zhu Sheng sighed.

Zhu Sheng, I must personally capture Li Ming and Yang Tao and them.

Otherwise, I would be too sorry for Xiao Long's injury this time. I said.

Okay, Jianqiang, if I have news on my side, I will promptly inform you so you can personally apprehend them to relieve your hatred. Zhu Sheng said and hung up the phone.

At this time, it was already almost three o'clock at night.

Li Jia accompanied Fang Rui, sitting quietly outside the rescue room waiting.

I don't know what's happening inside.

And I can't go ask.

Sigh, I stood up.

Both packs of cigarettes were also smoked up.

I decided to go downstairs to buy a few more packs of cigarettes.

Without cigarettes to support me, I really couldn't endure.

I thought in my heart, Yang Tao, Li Ming, you can't run away.

I must personally capture you.

The night was like water; I left the hospital, bought another two packs of cigarettes at a 24‑hour convenience store.

Holding the cigarettes, I walked out of the convenience store.

At this moment the night was at its darkest,

and also the blackest time of the night.

I looked up at the sky, wondering in my heart where Yang Tao and them might be hiding.

At that moment my phone rang,

I saw it was Ruan Wei calling again; no need to ask, he must have heard important news.

I hurriedly answered the phone.
