Chapter 370: 366. Determined to Protect He Yong (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
He Yong looked at Qian Li, silent and saying nothing; at this moment, he held murderous intent toward Li Daliang.
On the way here just now while bringing Wu Tian over, He Yong had already inquired about the sequence of events from Wu Tian.
It was much as Zhang Ran had guessed, but there was one point Zhang Ran had not guessed, or rather, had guessed but dared not think through deeply.
That was that Li Daliang could be considered the chief culprit in this matter; although he was not the one who proposed kidnapping Zhang Siyan, if not for Li Daliang, Wu Tian and his group would never have been able to kidnap Zhang Siyan and the others so easily.
Qian Li felt her scalp tingle under He Yong's gaze; right now, there were still four corpses lying before her, and it was very clear that He Yong had finished them off.
She and Zhang Siyan had previously guessed that Zhang Ran was a crime lord, but now it seemed it was not as simple as just being a crime lord.
He Yong had finished off four people without even blinking an eye.
"He Shu, should we ask Zhang Shu about this? This is Lili's father. Lili has helped Siyan a lot in the past, and Siyan truly treats Lili as a good friend, a good sister," Qian Li said in a low voice, steeling herself as she walked to He Yong's side.
He Yong did not speak, remaining silent, but after a moment he opened his mouth, "Xiao Li, why don't you go back with them first? You've been through a shock these past two days."
"I will consider what you said, and I will call Brother Zhang in a moment to ask him."
Qian Li nodded silently and was about to leave, but He Yong whispered again, "Xiao Li, you must remember, Brother Zhang actually treats you the same as he does Siyan; Brother Zhang has never treated you as an outsider."
"Even if Siyan weren't here today, if it were only you who encountered such a thing, Brother Zhang would still do the same."
Qian Li nodded to show she understood.
Watching the backs of Qian Li and the others as they left, He Yong looked at Li Daliang, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
"Don't... don't kill me! I... I... I was wrong, I beg you." Li Daliang seemed to only truly react at this moment, crying out in a hurry.
He Yong did not glance at him, only shouting in a low voice, "Shut up."
Li Daliang was so frightened that he collapsed onto the ground, his lips trembling, unable to speak.
He Yong took a deep breath and still dialed Zhang Ran's number; Qian Li's starting point was also for Zhang Siyan's sake, not for her own.
Zhang Siyan and Li Mingli were good friends, so no matter what, once He Yong truly killed Li Daliang, even if Li Mingli hated Li Daliang, Li Daliang was still Li Mingli's biological father.
By then, a natural chasm would appear in the relationship between Zhang Siyan and Li Mingli!
This was also the reason why Zhang Ran had not finished off Sun Gaixin at the time!
"Hello, Dayong, how is it over there?" Zhang Ran received He Yong's call and asked hurriedly.
At this time, Zhang Siyan had already returned and was by his side.
He Yong said, "Brother Zhang, everyone has been rescued, they are fine, but Li Daliang is still alive."
Zhang Ran's eyes flickered, and then he heard He Yong briefly explain the situation.
After hearing it, a trace of murderous intent suddenly surged in Zhang Ran's heart!
This Li Daliang was truly too hateful.
But he did not make a decision on impulse, saying in a low voice, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Siyan and asked, "Siyan, how is your relationship with this Li Mingli exactly?"
Zhang Siyan had recovered by this time, and upon hearing this, she immediately said, "She is my good sister; she helped me a lot, a lot, when we were at school."
Zhang Ran said, "Did her father, Li Daliang, also participate in this?"
Zhang Ran wanted to ask if Zhang Siyan knew about this; if she didn't, Zhang Ran would silently dispose of Li Daliang and then simply frame it on Wu Tian and his group.
Zhang Ran believed He Yong would do this small matter very well.
However, Zhang Siyan clearly knew, "I know, Dad. Just lock him up; let him receive the punishment he deserves by law."
Zhang Siyan did not know Zhang Ran's intentions at this time; after all, when she returned, Wu Tian had only been injured.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "As you wish."
After saying that, he said to He Yong, "Bring him back. Oh, and pass the phone to Chen Gao."
He Yong immediately said, "Brother Zhang, I..."
"I told you to give the phone to him!" Zhang Ran shouted.
He Yong took a deep breath and handed the phone to Chen Gao, who was waiting to the side; he knew Zhang Ran's mind. In fact, when he made such a decision, he had already prepared himself mentally, but clearly, Zhang Ran would not do such a heartless and unrighteous thing.
Zhang Ran said to Chen Gao, "Chen Gao, these people were all shot dead by you."
Before Chen Gao could speak, Zhang Ran continued, "You received authorization from above; you have the right to do so."
"Even if we take a step back, even if you encounter some difficulties because of this matter, no matter what, I guarantee you will be safe and sound, and I also guarantee that all of you will live in wealth for the rest of your lives. This is my, Zhang Ran's, promise. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people above."
Chen Gao remained silent, and only after a moment did he say, "I understand."
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Fine, this is just the worst-case scenario. No matter which way you look at it, you were not wrong. You can rest assured."
Zhang Ran had simply made arrangements for the worst-case scenario to give Chen Gao and his men peace of mind.
"You and Dayong wait there for the police to arrive." After Zhang Ran said this, he hung up the phone.
Not long after, Qian Li and the others were also brought out.
"Xiao Li, Lili, Auntie." Seeing them, Zhang Siyan immediately rushed over.
Seeing that they were all safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Li also looked at Zhang Siyan with concern; seeing that she was also fine, she then looked at Zhang Ran, worried about Zhang Ran's reaction.
Zhang Ran saw Qian Li's gaze, smiled, stepped forward, and said to Li Mingli, "Lili, this time Zhang Shu might have to apologize to you."
Li Mingli's heart tightened, and then she was silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay, Zhang Shu. No matter what, Li Daliang brought this upon himself, and I don't have this father anymore."
Zhang Ran said, "I will transfer Li Daliang to the procuratorate. Going to prison is certain. I hope you don't blame Zhang Shu."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingli immediately raised her head; she had originally thought...
"Thank you, Zhang Shu." Li Mingli bowed deeply; she knew this was Zhang Ran giving face to Zhang Siyan.
Otherwise, why would only her father, Li Daliang, be alive?
Li Mingli's mother also quietly breathed a sigh of relief; after all, they had been husband and wife for thirty years, and although Li Daliang had already been heartless toward her, it was impossible to let go in an instant.
It was just that what Zhang Ran didn't say was that Li Daliang would likely be dealt with according to the most severe penalties.
