Chapter 179

"But this is no longer important; what matters is that I can be certain—he's right!"

"That alone is enough!"

Liu Ju paused, then took a step forward.

"Then what does all of this mean?"

Mr. Ding shook his head, paused again, "Regardless, this Li Sai Gao has serious problems."

Liu Ju could only smile bitterly.

Suddenly, a female officer's voice came from the conference hall:

"Mr. Ding, you mean Ning Chen has confirmed the location of this Li Sai Gao?"

Everyone turned to see Zhao Mengmeng.

Mr. Ding nodded, "Yes, the process of confirmation was very complex."

Zhao Mengmeng froze, then suddenly, a terrifying thought rose in her heart.

"Then…" Zhao Mengmeng looked at the others, "just now, Ning Chen suddenly left the hotel—he seemed ready to leave outright."

"He…" Zhao Mengmeng suddenly felt icy cold all over, "could he be heading directly to that Li Sai Gao's location?"

As soon as she spoke these words.

The entire room fell silent again.

Everyone's spines prickled with cold.

123. (5/6) Speeding 1,000 kilometers, six hours without stopping

Mr. Ding heard the female officer say this.

And saw the expressions of the others in the conference hall.

He became utterly confused.

"You—all of you—what's going on?"

No one spoke.

Mr. Ding looked at them, then at Director Liu.

"Little Liu, what exactly is happening?" The old man paused, "By the way, why did you all pay special attention to this host named Ning Chen tonight?"

Director Liu took a long time before sighing.

"Mr. Ding, two and a half years ago, our Donghai City Bureau lost a female officer."

"This Ning Chen was that officer's fiancé…"

"We've long suspected that Ning Chen has been secretly investigating that case from back then."

"So we've kept him under close surveillance."

"Mainly because we feared he might act on his own—that's extremely dangerous, and also illegal."

"Oh…" the old man understood slightly, "I see… but what does this have to do with tonight's Li Sai Gao?"

"We don't know either," Director Liu said, thinking, "but this Li Sai Gao is exactly what Ning Chen has been paying attention to lately, so we believe he wouldn't suddenly focus on another host without reason."

"He must have his own reason, even if we don't know what it is."

"After all, the tattoo clue on that gunman's neck was also obtained from his livestream."

"Oh…" the old man smiled slightly, "so our officers are now, in reverse, searching for clues through Ning Chen's livestream?"

Director Liu was momentarily speechless.

And in fact, yes—it was exactly like that.

But Ning Chen's safety was also a major concern for the bureau.

"Then if that's the case," Mr. Ding said, "you don't want him to investigate this on his own?"

"Of course not. The major case two years ago—what we know now is that the background is enormous, and all involved are ruthless, desperate criminals."

"Ning Chen is just an ordinary person. If he rushes in blindly, it's extremely dangerous for him."

"Two years ago, that female officer was one of our good comrades—she has already sacrificed herself."

"Now, we cannot let another officer's family suffer any further loss!"

Mr. Ding listened, then nodded.

A few seconds later, the old man said, "If that's the case, then you must move quickly, because I believe—if this is true—Ning Chen is definitely going to find that Li Sai Gao's location. If you don't hurry, you won't catch up to him!"

"Yes!"

Ning Chen's motorhome.

Already on the national highway.

The motorhome was speeding down the highway.

He had never driven the motorhome this fast before.

It was only a hair's breadth away from the final speed limit violation.

He didn't care about speeding—he just didn't want to cause trouble.

In the driver's cabin.

Ning Chen's face showed no expression.

His gaze held no emotion whatsoever.

He simply stared ahead, occasionally glancing at the navigation.

Direction of travel: south.

He had already confirmed the location where that Li Sai Gao filmed the video.

That building.

That building in the southern border region.

That was a video from 20 years ago.

So, one could also say, that was the location where Li Sai Gao was two years ago.

Now, whether this man named Li Sai Gao is still alive, he could not be sure.

But this was, after all this time,

the first time he had found a target.

What connection, if any, does this Li Sai Gao have with the police-gunfight case

at the East Sea Hotel two and a half years ago?

Ning Chen did not know.

But this was his only lifeline.

A lifeline for survival.

A lifeline for revenge.

His life, right now, depended entirely on revenge to sustain it.

The system's fragmented clues could not possibly have given him the three characters "Li Sai Gao" without reason.

So, he must find this Li Sai Gao.

Thus, from dawn onward,

Ning Chen's motorhome had been racing nonstop.

There were very few cars on the highway.

On both sides of the road, nothing but darkness.

One a. m.

Two a. m.

Three a. m.

Four a. m. …

Until six a. m.

He had driven nonstop for six hours!

One thousand three hundred kilometers covered.

Not a single pause.

He himself was like a shark that had caught the scent of blood.

Only moving forward in that direction.

At six-thirty a. m., the lingering glow of the rising sun began to tint the east.
