"Om-"

"Om-"

As soon as the car entered Linzhou territory, Qin Wushuang received a call from Li Fei.

He looked at the name on his phone screen, hesitated for a few seconds, and then answered the call.

"Hey."

Li Fei: "Mr. Qin, I am Li Fei."

Qin Wushuang responded calmly: "I know. Captain Li, is there something you need for this sudden call?"

"Wasn't Mr. Qin still recovering and needing to rest in the hospital? How come he just left the police station, left a stand-in in the hospital room, and then disappeared without a trace?"

Li Fei stopped beating around the bush and tore through all his pretense with her first words.

Qin Wushuang was slightly taken aback, and her heart skipped a beat.

"...Captain Li is joking." He curled his lips, trying to appear calm. "I'm just going home temporarily to take care of some personal matters. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Li Fei: "How long will it take to deal with Mr. Qin's personal matters? I have important matters waiting for Mr. Qin to return and cooperate with me."

Qin Wushuang smiled gently: "Captain Li, don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow morning."

“No.” Li Fei rejected it outright. “I’m only giving Mr. Qin four hours. If I don’t see you at the hospital after four hours, then I’ll have to take the experts from the task force to Linzhou to find you in person.”

The moment the words "Linzhou" were uttered, Qin Wushuang knew he was doomed.

But he didn't panic at all, and still smiled and said, "Okay. Then see you in four hours."

Li Fei: "Mr. Qin, I hope you'll be on time."

Qin Wushuang: "I will."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Brother Wushuang, what do we do now?" Xiao Meng looked at Qin Wushuang with a pale face, so panicked that she couldn't sit still.

"Those police officers have figured out our tricks. Should we turn back to Jingcheng immediately?"

"No." Qin Wushuang put down her phone, her sharp face showing a sinister stubbornness. "Keep driving, ignore them."

“…Huh?” Xiao Meng was stunned.

"Keep going!" Qin Wushuang suddenly raised her voice, "Back to Linzhou, back to Yunmang Manor! I want to see Xiaosong!"

……

Meanwhile, the Jingcheng City Public Security Bureau.

An undercover police officer stood in front of Li Fei and said in a deep voice, "Captain Li, the Linzhou Public Security Bureau has prepared its forces. They can take action immediately as soon as you give the order."

Li Fei glanced at her watch, pondered for a moment, and then instructed, "Tell them that the operation will officially begin in five minutes."

Plainclothes officer: "Yes, sir!"

Li Fei: "What did Director Chen say? How much longer will it take for the task force to arrive in Linzhou?"

The plainclothes officer answered truthfully: "Director Chen and the experts from the special task force have already traveled halfway and are expected to enter Linzhou territory in another hour and a half."

“Okay.” Li Fei grabbed her coat from the back of the chair and quickly put it on. “Go tell the people in Linzhou that they must not make any rash moves before the task force arrives. But if Qin Wushuang has any intention of taking hostages and escaping, then that’s another story.”

Plainclothes officer: "Yes, sir!"

Li Fei: "Also, if Qin Feihong comes to inquire about Qin Wushuang's situation, tell him that Qin Wushuang is doing well. Although the suspicion has not yet been cleared, it cannot be proven that he is the murderer who kidnapped Xie Zhaoyuan."

"Understand?"

The plainclothes officer nodded: "Understood!"

At the same time, at Wuling Mountain.

“Yunmang Manor is just ahead.” Xie Mingyi pointed to a white villa not far away and said breathlessly, “That villa is the one Qin Wushuang bought from Yu Xingwang.”

"Are you sure?" Lin Jiahe asked, still uneasy.

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses: "It's confirmed. I just took a picture and asked Ye Ci, and Ye Ci said that Yu Xingwang admitted that this villa is the one Qin Wushuang bought. Moreover, the route we took all the way up was also provided by Yu Xingwang."

With his hands on his hips and panting, Chai Rui said, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Pei Xingzhi: "Of course we should go in and take a look, but we can't all go. Qin Wushuang is cunning by nature and has definitely set up a lot of defenses around the manor. We are all old acquaintances of his, and if we show up, we will definitely alert him."

"So Chai Rui, out of all of us, you're the only one who can get in."

“No problem!” Chai Rui agreed immediately without hesitation.

"And what about us?" Lin Jiahe asked. "What are we going to do?"

Pei Xingzhi: "A few of us can follow them to the entrance of the manor. If we have the chance, we'll sneak in; if not, we'll wait outside to support Chai Rui."

Chai Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Brother Pei, how am I supposed to sneak in?"

Pei Xingzhi had already thought about this problem when he went up the mountain.

He took out his phone from his pocket and sent a WeChat message to Chai Rui.

"I've sent you Yu Xingwang's phone number. In a little while, you'll disguise yourself as a maintenance worker at the resort and sneak in. If those people don't believe you, just call this number, and Ye Ci will cooperate with you."

Chai Rui: "Okay!"

Pei Xingzhi took the backpack off Lin Jiahe's shoulder and stuffed it into Chai Rui's hand: "You carry this bag and just pretend."

Chai Rui immediately slung his bag over his shoulder: "Shall I go now?"

Pei Xingzhi nodded: "Okay. You walk in front, and we'll follow behind."

Chai Rui: "Okay!"

After quickly agreeing on a plan, the group split into three smaller groups and, under the cover of night, headed towards Yunmang Manor.

Five minutes later, Chai Rui arrived at the main gate of the villa.

As expected, Qin Wushuang had arranged many bodyguards in the manor. As soon as Chai Rui approached, three burly men immediately surrounded him.

"stop!"

The burly man at the head of the group stood menacingly in front of Chai Rui, shouting, "This is a private villa. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach! Go back to where you came from!"

"I...I'm not just anyone, I'm a maintenance worker at the resort!" Chai Rui straightened his back and explained confidently.

"...Maintenance personnel?" The burly man squinted and looked him up and down. "A private villa has maintenance personnel?"

"Of course!" Chai Rui deliberately raised his voice. "Although the villas on this mountain are all privately owned, they all belong to the same developer. I am a maintenance worker for the developer, responsible for regularly inspecting the villas. Once a problem is found, I will promptly contact the maintenance personnel to come and repair it."

"……real?"

Chai Rui's story was quite convincing, but the big man was only half-believing it.

“Of course it’s true!” Chai Rui took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to Yu Xingwang. “I have the phone number of your manor owner. If you don’t believe me, I can call him right now and have him vouch for me.”

The burly man glanced at his phone, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the name Yu Xingwang.

“This Yu Xingwang is the former owner of the villa. He sold the villa half a year ago. Didn’t you know that?”
