Chapter 806: Where Can You Escape To?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Do you mean he escaped?” Jia Zizai asked.

“It’s very likely.” Zhong Liuchuan looked at the vast sea in front of him.

“Escaped. That’s big trouble,” Jia Zizai said.

His cellphone suddenly buzzed. Jia Zizai picked it up and looked at it. His expression changed drastically as he said, “Your prediction has come true. He’s really going to escape.”

“You planted a man beside him,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Once the tree falls, the underlings will scatter,” Jia Zizai said. “He has deviated too far from morals and values, so there are too many people who want to oppose him because of that. Dao is neither too big nor too small. He thinks the property he has in Dao is very confidential, but it has already been dug out by others. It hasn’t been announced yet. The problem now is how to deal with him.”

“The key is not to let those things in his hands work, right?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Well, that’s a big problem,” Jia Zizai said. “Who knows how many backups he has?”

“Be honest, how much blackmail information does he have on us?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Nobody knows,” Jia Zizai replied. “I’m afraid he’s the only one who knows.”

Through the years, their company had been secretly engaged in the business of assassination and smuggling. Every transaction was recorded, from who did it to how much it cost. Answers could be randomly found. Some of the cases were even horrifying ones. Exposing one piece of this information was equivalent to setting off a huge bomb. It was enough to shock the whole country.

“This world is too dark,” Jia Zizai said out of the blue.

“What are you sentimental for?” Zhong Liuchuan asked. “Why don’t you think about what to do?”

“We have no choice but to take him down,” Jia Zizai said.

“Then what?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“We have a couple of suspicious targets, so let’s take them all down,” Jia Zizai said.

None of the people in their profession were softhearted. At critical moments, it was necessary to be coldhearted. Those who were indecisive would die.

Zhong Liuchuan nodded. There was no better way to handle it. Indecisiveness led to disaster.

“If only we knew who he really trusted,” Jia Zizai said.

“Have you checked them all?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“I’ve already checked the people who might be close to him,” Jia Zizai said.

“Check the ones who aren’t close to him,” Zhong Liuchuan suggested. “Those who don’t contact him frequently are not necessarily a distant friend. You can ask the Sun family for help to temporarily detain him. As for the reason, it should be easy to find.”

“By the way, he has face-changing skills, so you need to be careful,” Jia Zizai said.

After speaking for less than 15 minutes, Jia Zizai hurriedly left. Zhong Liuchuan stood there alone and continued to look at the sea as the tide rose and fell.

Spectacular!

He stood there watching the scene before him until the sky quietly darkened. Only then did he turn around and leave.

That evening, the Sun family received news that “President Zhang” might be leaving. Zhong Liuchuan went to find the grandson of the Sun family. The ability of the Sun family quickly began to show. The President Zhang who tried to fly abroad through the airport was stopped for a simple reason. There was a prohibited item in his luggage—a knife, a very sharp knife.

The man, who appeared to be honest and professional, was taken to the police station. He was interrogated by two police officers.

“Come on, what’s with this knife?” a police officer asked.

“I don’t know what’s going on,” the man said. “I didn’t put the knife in there.”

“If it was not you, who was it?” the police officer asked.

“I don’t know,” the man said. “You can check it. There must be fingerprints on it.”

“Where do you work, Zhang Wei?” the police officer asked.

“I run a company,” Zhang Wei said.

“What company?” the police officer asked.

“Sihai Trading Company,” Zhang Wei replied.

“Well, that name is quite familiar.” The police officer thought for a moment before asking, “Isn’t that the owner of the company whose villa was blown up last month? Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”

Zhang Wei pondered the statement for a while and replied, “No.”

“Why didn’t you clarify that? Who’s that dead man?” the police officer asked.

“I don’t know who he is,” Zhang Wei said. “I just felt that my life was threatened and hid.”

“Why didn’t you call the police?” the police officer asked.

“I didn’t dare show my face and hid the whole time,” Zhang Wei said.

“Who threatened you?” the police officer asked.

“I don’t know,” Zhang Wei said.

“You don’t know?” The lead police officer found this suspicious.

“Yes, I hid because I didn’t know,” Zhang Wei said. “I felt that things were off recently, so I wanted to leave and hide, but I don’t know why something like this happened again.”

The lead police officer was surprised that so many things had been dug out by one phone call from above. He asked, “Do you have any enemies?”

“Well, no.” Zhang Wei shook his head.

“You don’t seem to know the answer to most of the questions,” the lead police officer said. “Think about it and tell us when you’ve thought of something.”

“I’m not in any trouble, am I?” Zhang Wei asked.

“You still have to explain that knife,” the lead police officer replied.

After the police officers had finished speaking, they left the room. Zhang Wei was alone in the room. He looked down at the ground and did not move for a long time. His thoughts were unknown.

“Did you manage to get any information?” Captain Lu asked.

“We learned a lot of interesting things. Take a look.” The lead police officer handed over the interrogation notes.

“The victim of the bombing isn’t dead!” Captain Lu was shocked.

“We confirmed that it was him after an identity check,” the lead police officer said. “He’s not dead. He just went into hiding. Maybe it was because of fear.”

“Why did he suddenly want to fly abroad?” Captain Lu asked.

“He said he felt that something was off,” the lead police officer said.

“A feeling? What kind of reason is that?” Captain Lu asked.

“That’s what he said, but I reckon he’s not telling the truth,” the lead officer said. “There must be something else that hasn’t been explained.”

“Yes, it’s quite possible,” Captain Lu said. “Several wanted criminals have been found in their company in succession, and they’re all carrying major cases on their backs. As the chairman of the company, he has to know something about it. He might be intentionally covering it up!”

“How should I treat him?” the lead officer asked.

“Seize him for that knife incident,” Captain Lu said. “Their company matters, his home explosion incident, and other suspicious matters must be looked into.”

Captain Lu left the bureau and headed to the Sun family’s residence.

“Captain Lu,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Young Master Sun, I’ve kept you waiting,” Captain Lu said.

“Nah, I just arrived,” Sun Yunsheng said. “Has the man been caught?”

“Yes, there are many suspicious points,” Captain Lu said. “Thank you for your reliable information!”

The Sun family hadn’t figured out what everything meant, but they had known about it first. Although Captain Lu didn’t know why the Sun family had suddenly made a move, it was a good thing for the police. The previous cases could be dealt with together. The focus was now on Zhang Wei.

“I have some information here. Captain Lu, take a look at it.” Sun Yunsheng handed an envelope to him.

Captain Lu took it over and looked at it. His face quickly changed. “This is?”

“This is what I got by accident,” Sun Yunsheng said. “I don’t think this should happen in Dao, so I’m asking you to help me.”

“Is it related to Sihai Trading Company?” Captain Lu asked.

“They are the main partners of this company, and their company has had a series of accidents recently,” Sun Yunsheng said. “There are several wanted fugitives in the company. Shouldn’t such a company be doubted?”

“We thought they were suspicious too, but I didn’t expect them to be involved in such a big case,” Captain Lu said. “I need to report this matter to the higher-ups!”

“Please do so as soon as possible,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Thank you,” Captain Lu said.

“You’re welcome,” Sun Yunsheng said. “I just did my duty as an ordinary citizen.”

After Captain Lu left, Sun Yunsheng did not rush to leave. He continued to sit in his original position and quietly drink his tea.

“Young Master, Zhong Liuchuan is here.”

“Come in, please,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Young Master,” Zhong Liuchuan greeted.

“Big Brother Zhong, don’t call me that. It sounds too distant.” Sun Yunsheng laughed and said, “I wanted Dr. Wang as my teacher. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance and fate for that to happen. Anyway, you have come to visit unexpectedly. Please, take a seat.”
