The call is from Zhen Chao’s watchman.

Zhen Chao thinks it unbelievable, “Escape? Where will he escape in broad daylight?”

“We don’t know. He takes his luggage. He has departed. Commander, what shall we do now?”

“Keep watch on him. Don’t alert him. Let’s take action after he leaves the city.”

“OK.”

Zhen Chao hangs up the phone, calls Xiao Hui immediately and updates him.

“Is that true? He didn’t escape last night. He has killed Wu Zhenxing, and it is noon. Why does he escape now?” Xiao Hui doesn’t believe it either.

“At least he makes us feel that he is going to escape. Tell your subordinates to move quickly. No matter what he wants to do, block his way to test his attitude. Pay attention to the manner. Look out for his resistance. It’s downtown area.”

“I know.”

“If necessary, my men can cooperate with you.”

“OK.”

Xiao Hui hangs up the phone and hurries to arrange it.

Zhen Chao calls one of his subordinates for arrangement, too.

Tang Feng stands by Zhen Chao. After he hangs up the phone, Tang Feng looks at him only, without saying anything.

“It’s strange. Let them block Xiao Jinchong’s way first.” Zhen Chao sits down and doesn’t say more.

Knowing he is waiting for news, Tang Feng and Han Siqi keep silent.

Then Han Siqi’s phone rings. The call is from Tu Wei. He answers it immediately.

“Hello?”

After hearing Han Siqi’s voice, Tu Wei says, “Mr. Han, we’ve walked dozens of miles for three times along the west of the city, searching and asking, but we’ve got nothing information about that car. We’re searching for it in a wider area. Mr. Han, is it possible that they turned back and went in another direction after leaving the city?”

Han Siqi recollects suddenly that When Li Xiaomeng kidnapped Fu Xing, she turned back after leaving the city so that they couldn’t find her. Therefore, he says hurriedly, “It’s possible. Search carefully, and strengthen the guard in Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort.”

After Fu Zhengzheng was gone last night, he told Wan Zhenxing to take members of Han family back to Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort from Splendid Oriental Castle to give them better protection, because he is afraid that something will happen to them.

“Got it.”

“Tell me in time if something happens.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Han Siqi meets Zhen Chao’s eyes and tells him Tu Wei’s guess.

Zhen Chao nods, “Actually, I thought of it and sent some guys to the suburbs of B City to search. I didn’t tell you because I’ve got no clues. We’re very passive now. Zhengzheng has been gone for twelve hours.”

“Precisely speaking, fifteen hours.” Han Siqi corrects him.

They knew Fu Zhengzheng’s disappearance at about 12:00 last night, but in fact she was kidnapped at 9:00 last night.

Tang Feng sighs, “Perhaps we have to place all our hope on Xiao Jinchong. We don’t know how it is going. I hope the so-called escape is just our misconception.”

“Shall we go to the scene?” Han Siqi wants to rise.

“Let’s wait for news.” Zhen Chao stops him.

Han Siqi has to sit down.

At this time, Xiao Hui calls again, and Zhen Chao answers the call instantly.

“Xiao Jinchong was blocked and requested to cooperate with our investigation about the smuggling case of Shengtian Trading Company and Wu Zhenxing’s death. He agreed but said he wasn’t well and needed to go to the hospital for an examination first. If there was nothing wrong, he would go to the police station with them for interrogation. Our men have gone to the hospital with him.”

“Go to the hospital? Keep a close watch on him.”

“OK. We’ve contacted the relevant doctor of the hospital. He will have an individual examination. The result will come out soon. But he only takes two guys. Besides, we haven’t found members of Brotherhood lying in ambush around the hospital, so he is probably not going to escape. Don’t worry, we won’t let our guard down. I have a call and will stop talking with you. If there is news, I will tell you in time.”

“OK.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Chao tells them the situation briefly.

“As I expected, Xiao Jinchong, an old fox, killed Wu Zhenxing with tricks. How is it possible for him to escape in panic now?” Tang Feng looks as if deep in thought, “Xiao Jinchong is usually healthy, but he goes to the hospital now with a great fanfare. He must want to test if he is watched outside so as to weigh his circumstances.”

Zhen Chao nods, “He just appears to be calm. Before the case is decided, he is more scared than anyone else. After he comes to the police office, let’s listen to his explanation.”

“Will he linger in the hospital with the excuse of illness? He that talks much errs much. Perhaps He would like to hide in the hospital, hoping that we can investigate Wu Zhenxing as he planned.”

Hearing that, Han Siqi stands up suddenly, “If he doesn’t cooperate, how can we find the whereabouts of Zhengzheng and Zhu Ting?”

Zhen Chao comforts him immediately, “Take it easy. It doesn’t matter if he cooperates or not. We have the initiative. We just need time to buffer it so that we can ‘determine’ Wu Zhenxing’s crime and clear Xiao Jinchong and Tang Feng of the suspicion as soon as possible. After going out, Tang Feng can ask Xiao Jinchong for Zhu Ting. Then…”

“I’m afraid that it will be late.” Han Siqi’s voice is deep and hoarse.

“It won’t!” Zhen Chao affirms instantly, “Xiao Jinchong is sure to tell us that Zhu Ting and Zhengzheng were caught by Wu Zhenxing and it has nothing to do with him. Perhaps he will also help us guess hard where Zhengzheng may be kept to do you a favor. Thus, you will be very grateful to him and help Brotherhood’s business in B City as much as possible – The way Weihan treats Shengtian is the best example. Xiao Jinchong has suffered a great loss because of his unwise move. According to his personality, he is sure to make up for it from other aspects. You are his largest client. So we need to wait patiently.”

Han Siqi walks outward fretfully, “I’ve become impatient. Zhengzheng has been gone for fifteen hours, but we don’t know where she is. What if she is really kept by Wu Zhenxing? He has been dead. If his subordinates do something to her… No matter they are kept by Xiao Jinchong or Wu Zhenxing, I don’t believe they can be hidden in the farthest corner of the world!”

“Siqi, what are you going to do?” Zhen Chao blocks his way.

“I’m going to wipe out all dens of Brotherhood in B City.”

“Don’t be rash! If Xiao Jinchong cooperates with us, we’ll be able to determine Wu Zhenxing’s crime soon. If you do it, you’ll mess it up, won’t you? We’ve been waiting for fifteen hours. Can’t you wait for one more hour?”

“What if Zhengzheng isn’t kept by Xiao Jinchong?”

Zhen Chao is made speechless by Han Siqi’s question. Tang Feng interrupts at once, “Wu Zhenxing doesn’t have a good brain. He has nothing on brain except delicious food and sex. He obeys whatever Xiao Jinchong instructs, so it must be Xiao Jinchong’s idea to kidnap Zhu Ting. Please believe Zhu Ting and Zhengzheng are both safe.”

“That’s your guess. Neither of you can make sure of their safety!” Han Siqi’s anxiety and rage break out simultaneously.

Finding Zhen Chao can’t stop Han Siqi, Tang Feng speaks slowly, “Mr. Han, Xiao Jinchong is intractable. He takes no action now, because he wants to protect himself and develop his business in B City. If you persist in wiping out all his dens in B City and thus infuriate him, he will do anything crazy –Brotherhood focuses on B City! After all, none of us has evidence to prove that he hides Zhu Ting and Zhengzheng. If he throws them into the bottom of a lake or river, no one will know. We even have no chance to bury them.”

Han Siqi’s face turns pale sharply. He moves his trembling lips but makes no sound. He stops walking outward.

Zhen Chao takes him to sit down, “Sit down. Let’s wait for news.”

Han Siqi sits down slowly and keeps silent. He just stares outside the window in a daze.

Seeing him become quiet, Zhen Chao ignores him and begins to talk with Tang Feng about preparation for the next step.

After over one hour, Xiao Hui calls again, saying Xiao Jinchong is all right according to doctor’s examination and is on the way to the police office. Then Zhen Chao comes to the next door of the interrogation room with Tang Feng and Han Siqi to wait, because they can see everything happening in the interrogation room there.

Soon after they sit there, the door of the interrogation room is opened. Xiao Jinchong, Yang Tao, Ji Muxian and two other policemen come in one after another and sit down.

“Do you know what happened to Wu Zhenxing?” Yang Tao asks as soon as Xiao Jinchong sits down.

“Yes. I didn’t expect he would do evil behind my back. When I heard Tang Feng was controlled by the police last night, I couldn’t believe it and thought the police made a mistake. Frankly speaking, though Brotherhood often does something dirty, we never dare to violate the laws. We only dare to play the touch ball at most. Zhenxing is really… Alas, I feel so sorry for him. It’s my fault, because I didn’t care enough about him and believed him completely.”

While speaking, Xiao Jinchong beats his breast and stamps his feet in deep sorrow. If the persons in the room didn’t know the ins and outs, they would be deceived by his performance.

Ji Muxian is not swayed and stares at him, “Wu Zhenxing did such an evil thing behind your back. As the head of Brotherhood, you know nothing about it at all?”

“Zhenxing has been in Brotherhood for over ten years. He is my cousin and the one I trust most in Brotherhood. Besides, he is quite capable in dealing with things. I want to develop new land for Brotherhood in recent years and often travel around, so the less important things are often left to him while I only deal with important ones. Other buddies once complained that Zhenxing often misused his power to feather his own nest. But I didn’t dissuade him, because nothing serious happened. What’s more, he is my cousin, and I hope he can have a better life. But I didn’t know he would be so ambitious.”

Then Xiao Jinchong strokes his chest and seems to feel very bad. After pausing for a while, he continues, “But then again, I find the management of Brotherhood is more and more chaotic after I come to B City, so I want to reorganize it. Maybe he was scared by my thought and was afraid that I would find something, or he wouldn’t be anxious to resell the cultural relics.”

Tang Feng hears it next door and whispers to Zhen Chao, “Xiao Jinchong is indeed reorganizing Brotherhood recently. I didn’t think it would become the reason why Wu Zhenxing was anxious to resell cultural relics.”

Zhan Chao gives a faint smile, “Xiao Jinchong is really farsighted and admirable. It’s a pity such a smart person goes astray.”

Tang Feng praises, “Even if he is smart, each of his moves is predicted by you.”

“Do you take me as Xiao Jinchong?”

“I’m not flattering you. I just tell the truth.”

Then Zhen Chao’s cellphone vibrates. He takes it out and sees the call from his subordinate. He answers it at once.

“Commander, we have a new discovery.”
