In the afternoon of the second day, Shangguan Yao was taken away by someone. According to protocol, the police could not detain her for too long; however, without the relevant visa, she was temporarily unable to leave the country.
After sending her off, Zheng Rufeng came to see Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had a premonition that once she left, she would not return. What if they used other means, like a private jet? Surely they wouldn’t be in such a hurry, would they?
Zheng Rufeng, stroking his chin, didn’t consider this possibility. It would take time to prepare, and there weren’t many places from Haishi that one could depart. He could only hope it was indeed like that.
It was time to check on Zhou Xuan; he needed to inform him of this news. Only by making him understand that General Fang had truly given up on him—becoming a pawn that could be discarded—would Zhou Xuan willingly reveal everything.
Currently, Zhou Xuan still harbored a glimmer of hope. When he saw Lin Yuan approach, he didn’t react much; he simply watched silently. He wanted to see what tricks Lin Yuan had up his sleeve this time.
“I’ve come to tell you something,” Lin Yuan said. “Shangguan Yao has already left here. Do you know who sent the lawyer?”
“Shangguan Yao?” Zhou Xuan dismissed it with indifference. “She’s from the Shangguan family; isn’t it normal for them to send a lawyer? You can’t be anxious just because of this.”
“No, in reality, they didn’t have enough time to send someone over. Who do you think knows Haishi best?” Lin Yuan had already checked the lawyer’s background. Although there were no issues, his influence in the circle was significant; he wasn’t someone ordinary people could hire.
“It seems they are quite invested in Shangguan Yao,” Lin Yuan continued.
“What do you mean?” Zhou Xuan couldn’t believe that General Fang would abandon him for a woman.
“If you don’t tell me where she is, they might both leave the country together right now. When that happens, who do you expect will come to save you?”
“That’s impossible.” Zhou Xuan no longer concealed anything; he knew that Lin Yuan was aware of what he knew.
The moment he admitted to being Qing She, General Fang’s only way to save him would be to hijack a police car. He wouldn’t stay in Haishi; there was no prison here that would want him.
With such a large piece of meat in the country, everyone would be watching. I’ve laid out such a vast net for them; it would be too regrettable if they didn’t come.
Perhaps it would be better with someone else?
In his confident gaze, Lin Yuan raised another point.
"You didn't expose your appearance when you met those fugitives, did you? Because that would be a weakness for you, but it also makes it easier for others to take advantage of you. Mr. Fang could easily find someone to kick you out. Just like the person we let go earlier, Shangguan Yao."
At this, Zhou Xuan found herself at a loss for words.
"Since you already know Shangguan Yao is problematic, why did you let her go?"
It was truly puzzling.
"The law is one thing, but we've already sent someone to monitor her. Unless we have formal permission, Shangguan Yao won't be able to leave."
Zhou Xuan suddenly smiled. She leaned slightly closer to Lin Yuan, eager to share some intel as a small act of revenge against the other party.
"You probably don't know that there's a piece of land over in the district that's been transformed into a plaza, right? The conditions there are quite suitable for takeoff."
"Hmm?"
A connection sparked in Lin Yuan's mind. If the other party truly wanted to save not Qing She but Shangguan Yao, as he had just mentioned, they might have already set off for abroad.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Xuan said, "Officer, if you don't chase after them soon, they could be anywhere by now. After all, there's just a sea separating us from them; it's not far at all. With a helicopter, it would only take about three or four hours to get there."
Given such conditions, Mr. Fang could definitely manage that.
Lin Yuan suddenly realized what he had overlooked and turned to leave immediately. Zheng Rufeng beside him seemed confused about what was happening but followed after Lin Yuan.
"Hahaha! No one is leaving! Everyone stays here!"
Zheng Rufeng caught up with Lin Yuan and asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's going on?"
"They're likely already at the airport over there. Do you think that person wouldn't have the money to buy a plane?"
"What do you mean?"
"They might take off from there and head directly abroad."
"What?!"
"That means they escaped right under our noses and we were the ones who let them go!"
"Send several cars immediately to the district and check if there's a suitable takeoff point over there. If there is, stop them from taking off at once!"
Zheng Rufeng knew the urgency of the situation and immediately dialed the number for the precinct. Since they were too far away to arrive in time, this call was directed to the officers in the district, who were closer to the scene. The satellite team should also be able to survey the location, allowing them to compress the response time to within an hour.
"How long will it take us to get there?" Lin Yuan had already settled into the car.
"At best, it will take half an hour. However, Shang Guanyao just left not long ago, so we should be able to catch up."
Once he fastened his seatbelt, Zheng Rufeng was surprised to realize that he seemed to have taken the wrong seat; he should be in the driver's position at this moment. But there was no time to waste—the car had already started.
"Lin Yuan? Shouldn't I be driving? I have over ten years of driving experience."
"No need for that, Captain Zheng. Just buckle up."
At that moment, he didn't quite understand what that meant.
Around two or three o'clock, there weren't many cars on the road, and with it being daytime, Lin Yuan activated the siren. Vehicles ahead quickly cleared a path.
Meanwhile, on another road, Shang Guanyao received the news. The police had already set off? That was fast.
The lawyer who came to pick her up drove calmly.
"Don't worry; we'll make it in time."
Upon hearing this, Shang Guanyao turned her head in surprise and noticed that this lawyer looked somewhat different from when she first met him.
"Who are you?"
"Don't ask."
After their brief exchange, the vehicle began to accelerate on the road, transforming from a cautious drive into a rapid dash, provoking several curses from pedestrians along the way.
As long as they covered another ten kilometers or so, they would reach their destination—the takeoff point that Fang had prepared well in advance, near the scenic area of the district. To be honest, when he initially purchased that land, he never imagined it would prove so useful now.
