“What’s going on? Why is he trying to hold me back.”
Zhao Zichen asked as he ran after me.
I was too slow even for my crutches and hopped on one leg towards the car park.
“Tell me when you get in the car.”
Zhao Zichen jumped in the cab and asked me where I was going.
“Get back, quick!”
Zhao Zichen was not as fast as Chu Xiaoxiao, but he wasn’t slow either. We ran all the red lights we could on the way, and after this trip, he only had one point left on his license.
I couldn’t wait for him to stop the car before I jumped out of the car and almost fell on my face.
“What the hell’s going on? Such a rush.” Liu Hao muttered, getting out of the car with me.
I’d checked my phone while I was in the car because we’d had burglar surveillance installed in our house, so if someone entered our villa illegally, there would be an alert on my phone, but there was no alert on my phone.
The locks hadn’t been tampered with either, nor had the doors and windows, and the villa still looked fine from the outside, so I breathed a long sigh of relief.
But when I opened the door with the key, I was dumbfounded.
Zhao Zichen and Liu Hao followed me in, took a look and were also dumbfounded.
Liu Hao whispered, “You guys are usually this messy?”
I shook my head and said to Zhao Zichen, “Quickly go to Xia Gehuai’s room.”
Knowing what I meant, Zhao Zichen immediately ran upstairs to Xia Gehuai’s room and soon came out again, shaking his head at us who had caught up with him on the first floor.
“sh*t, it’s a trap.”
“What the hell’s going on.” Liu Hao asked.
I rubbed a handful of my hair in chagrin; it was really like that, no wonder.
“Xia Gehuai captured a video of Xu Changsheng being framed, this video hasn’t been submitted to your police yet, but the framing party knows the video exists. He was already being watched before we came to Ningcheng, then we came to Ningcheng and all the stuff was transferred to my villa, this gang designed so much to take that video.”
“f*ck.” Zhao Zichen cursed in a low voice.
The house was a mess, even the newly bought sofa had been cut by a razor blade, I retrieved the surveillance at the door and saw two masked men who had opened the door with an electronic access control key.
“It’s a fingerprint lock.” Liu Hao said, “How can a key open it?”
“My, Zhao Zichen’s and Xia Gehuai’s fingerprints can open it, Xia Gehuai probably recorded his fingerprints after he was taken in, it’s not hard to make a fingerprint film with this fingerprint.”
Liu Hao stiffened, “There’s a mole in our people.”
He said what I was most worried about in my mind, even though I had been in a situation for a long time that Liu Hao had been framed and it was probably their mole who did it, but now that the enemy could devise this chain of tricks, it was clear that their strength was far greater than I had imagined.
It was only half a day after Xia Ge Huai was taken in, and they were already able to take out Xia Ge Huai’s fingerprints and make a fingerprint lock, which was definitely planned a long time ago.
“Damn, now that I think about it, maybe what happened to Chu Xiaoxiao was also set up by someone.” Zhao Zichen said, “Think about it, how could it be so coincidental that Chu Huai En must have called Chu Xiaoxiao back, in the middle of the night. If he wanted Chu Xiaoxiao to go back, why didn’t he say so earlier? In the middle of the night, would you let your daughter have to rush back in the middle of the night.”
When Zhao Zichen reminded me of this, I immediately understood it too.
Even if Chu Huaien was willing to let Chu Xiaoxiao go back in the middle of the night, I couldn’t either, and I would definitely ask someone to accompany Chu Xiaoxiao.
With my feelings for Chu Xiaoxiao, refusing is letting Cai Xiaobing go to protect him.
Although I had hired Ah Yu as Chu Xiaoxiao’s bodyguard in Tong City, now that Xing’er was sick and about to have an operation, and Baldy had been arrested, I had long given Ah Yu a leave of absence to take care of Xing’er.
The next suspicion of another arrest will leave me with one less person. Just now Zheng Peng must have gotten the news, so he went there to stop us specifically to take advantage of our absence and have someone come to our house to find the hard drive used by Xia Ge Huai to store videos and destroy it.
Zheng Peng’s purpose was just to stall us so that they would have more than enough time.
Damn, these grandsons!
I rubbed my face, the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and by the end I was so angry I was laughing.
These guys are really calculating, so what the hell is the point of calculating Liu Hao?
However, they couldn’t have imagined that Xia Gehuai was a particularly thievish person, he wouldn’t just make one backup, he had saved the videos on many cloud servers.
Zhao Zichen and I both knew that we were not chagrined that something had been stolen, but rather that, damn it, we had let our opponent get away with it.
By tacit agreement, we both chose not to talk about it at the same time and kept quiet.
Because, gradually, I got the feeling that Ningcheng’s problem was different from Tongcheng’s. If Tongcheng was a bursting p*ss, with abominable pus everywhere, and all we had to do was squeeze it out to bring Tongcheng back, then Ningcheng was something else entirely; he was a giant net under a dark current.
No one can be trusted here, anyone could have another face.
Not even Liu Hao can be trusted, because he doesn’t trust me either.
In the case of Baldy, there is something wrong and someone doesn’t want us to look into it.
When all is said and done, just like the other side tried to frame Xia Gehuai at the beginning, they do not want us to investigate Zhao Qiyu, which means they do not want us to investigate the Yunya Sect.
There was definitely collusion between the Yunya Sect and Jiang Ming.
When all is said and done, the issue comes back to this person.
Jiang Ming.
Liu Hao was frustrated, never having handled such a headless case, all the evidence, along with the dossier, had disappeared, completely untraceable.
It was almost 3pm when Liu Hao’s mother called to urge him to go home, and we remembered that today is New Year’s Eve and tomorrow is the first day of the New Year.
After Liu Hao left, only Zhao Zichen and I were left in the large villa.
“Old Zhao, you’re not going home for New Year’s Eve?” I asked.
“My mum is out of the country for fun, and my dad has an operation tonight.”
“It’s really hard for you doctors.”
“Hey, hurry up and get Baldy out of the old summer’s ……”
Zhao Zichen was about to speak when I made a no-sound gesture to him to stop, then I continued, “Old Xia, let him stay in there for a few days, it’s annoying as hell, how come your dad has surgery for New Year’s Eve?”
Zhao Zichen was much smarter and immediately realised that I was trying to drag him into talking about something else.
As I spoke, I took out my phone and turned on the wifi, and as expected, my phone could search for many strange wifi names.
This is one of the easiest ways to check for security cameras and listening devices.
Nowadays, technology is so advanced that surveillance cameras and monitors are transmitted back in real time, so they all need to use the 4G network, and therefore, once you check the nearby wifi with your phone, you can see these strange wifi names.
Two days ago Chu Xiao Xiao told me that many pinhole cameras have been popping up in hotels outside recently and that this is the easiest way to determine if a room is safe.
