Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"It was very short, just two or three minutes. Then Liu Hailong returned to Honglangman, and Hua Ge also left by car."

Did you see the license plate clearly?

"I saw it! A black Citroën Fukang, license plate Han Cxxxxx, heading south!"

"very good."

Qi Tongwei picked up his phone and dialed a number from his colleague in the information department, asking them to check the license plate information.

The information department quickly called back.

It was a car with a fake license plate, and from then on, the vehicle clue was of little value.

Chen Hai was somewhat disappointed. "Captain Qi, should we continue keeping watch?"

"Of course we're keeping an eye on them!" Qi Tongwei glanced out the window and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the rat's tail can't be held tight anymore. Liu Hailong and Brother Hua will definitely make a move tonight."

"Are you so sure?" Chen Hai raised an eyebrow slightly, expressing his doubt.

Qi Tongwei snorted and retorted, "You've been keeping watch on Brother Hua for 15 days straight and haven't seen him. What does that mean?"

Chen Hai thought for a moment, "I guess with the crackdown on drugs going on so recently, he doesn't dare to come out."

"Then let me ask you again, since the anti-drug campaign is so intense, why did he risk coming to Red Romance at this time?"

Chen Hai pondered for a moment, then gasped.

"He wants to escape."

"Finally, you've got a brain." Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette. "You said their conversation was very short, only a few minutes. That's because the situation was urgent. If I'm not mistaken, it must be related to the escape plan. As for Liu Hailong, he will also play a crucial role. Otherwise, Brother Hua wouldn't have risked coming here."

"I see, so what's next..."

"Stand by! I have already notified Director Li that everyone in the anti-drug squad is on standby tonight, and all possible escape routes are guarded! If they make a move, we must take them down today! We absolutely cannot let them leave Yantai City."

Chapter Twenty: The Brainless Little Prince, Chen Hai

Iwadai City has always had a vibrant nightlife.

At 10 o'clock, the area in front of Honglanman was still bustling with traffic, with people shopping and setting up stalls.

Full of fireworks.

At that moment, another taxi appeared next to Chen Hai's Santana; it was Wang Hua, whom Li Qingshui had placed there.

Just after ten o'clock, Liu Hailong reappeared. This time, however, he was carrying two large suitcases in both of his hands.

After looking around at the door for a while, he put down his suitcase, then turned on his phone and made a call.

"Captain Qi, what's inside those two huge suitcases?"

"It's either drug money or drugs; there's no third possibility. Besides, you said Brother Hua came during the day, so he's probably eyeing this stuff. Otherwise, given Brother Hua's personality, he would have left long ago."

"No wonder..."

"Don't talk, a car is coming."

Liu Hailong stood under the flashing neon lights, lit a cigarette, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Drip."

Just then, a van stopped in front of him.

The people on the bus didn't get off.

Liu Hailong stubbed out his cigarette, opened the car door, picked up two suitcases, and got in.

The van then started.

"Captain Qi, shall we follow them?" Wang Hua's voice came through the pager.

"Follow them, but don't get too close."

"receive."

"Captain Qi, what about us?" Chen Hai asked疑惑地问道, "Wang Hua has caught up, what about us? Should we continue to keep watch?"

"Screw watching them, just follow Wang Hua and the others, and share our driving route with Director Li while you're at it."

"okay!"

Qi Tongwei's intuition told him that this operation would not go smoothly.

And so, Wang Hua drove his taxi, closely following the drug dealers' van, while Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai's Santana followed Wang Hua.

Upon receiving the news, Li Qingshui also led his men to this location.

The vehicle continued driving towards the suburbs.

Liu Hailong, a former anti-drug hero, quickly sensed something was amiss. After glancing in the rearview mirror, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Brother Hua, that taxi behind us is suspicious. Our whereabouts have been exposed."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ge, whose hair was gray, first glanced at the back of the car, then distributed guns to his underlings, and finally urged the red-haired driver, "If you don't want to die, speed up and shake off the taxis behind you."

"Yes, Brother Hua."

After stepping on the gas, the van started speeding away.

Seeing this, Wang Hua also stepped on the gas, and the distance between the two cars remained at about 300 meters.

"Captain Qi, the drug dealers and Wang Hua have sped up. Have we spotted them?"

"It's normal."

Qi Tongwei also pulled out a gun, checked the bullets, gave one to Chen Hai, and kept one for himself.

"Chen Hai, if a fight breaks out later, find a place to hide and don't show your face."

“I disagree. Like I said, I applied to join the 915 anti-drug operation, not to just get experience.” Chen Hai’s stubbornness was just as strong as his father Chen Yanshi’s.

Qi Tongwei didn't tolerate him and retorted, "Chen Hai, with your skills, you'd be a burden. I'm the captain, I follow orders."

"Captain Qi, you're judging people with prejudice. I protest."

"Damn it, they're rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?"

Qi Tongwei was really angry and was about to explode when a gunshot rang out in the night.

The drug dealer opened fire.

Seeing that he couldn't shake off Wang Hua, Hua Ge picked up his pistol and took the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, the bullet was slightly off target; it pierced the windshield and grazed Wang Hua's shoulder.

This gave Wang Hua a real fright.

"Captain Qi, the drug dealers have resorted to desperate measures and opened fire. What should we do next?"

"Keep your distance and be careful!"

"Roger that!"

Wang Hua slammed on the brakes, extending the tracking distance. Within this distance, even if a bullet were to come, it wouldn't be fatal.

Hua Ge, who was in the van, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The cars behind you have slowed down. Red Hair, hurry up and try to shake them off at the next bend."

"okay."

Red Hair continued to press the accelerator.

Just as they were about to shake off the taxi, a white Santana came right up and followed.

"Damn it, it's like a persistent ghost!" Hua cursed, preparing to fire again.

"Brother Hua, don't waste bullets!" Liu Hailong interrupted. "We're in a van with five people on it, so we can't go fast at all. It's almost impossible to shake off two tails on the highway! And the longer we drag this out, the worse it will be for us. Once the anti-drug squad arrives, we'll really have nowhere to escape."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"There's an unfinished building in the suburbs ahead. On the other side of the building is a river. If we can wade across the river under the cover of night, we'll still have a chance."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Brother Hua put away his gun and urged Little Red Hair again, "Drive the car to the unfinished building!"

"Yes, Brother Hua!"

Little Red Hair suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the unfinished building.

The two cars behind were still in hot pursuit.

Seeing that the van had changed direction, Qi Tongwei immediately understood what was happening and then picked up his pager.

"Calling Director Li, the drug dealers are planning to abandon their car and escape, heading towards an unfinished building in the suburbs. Requesting backup."

"Received, received. Keep an eye on things. The main force will be here soon."

In the midst of their conversation, the van suddenly stopped, and five figures quickly got out, two of whom carried suitcases. They then disappeared into the grove of trees.

The direction they fled was directly towards the unfinished building.

"Captain Qi, this is bad, they're trying to escape!" Chen Hai slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. He then opened the door and was about to give chase.

"return!"

Qi Tongwei pulled him back.
