Shao Qingge's sports car had just crashed into the woods and was now a pile of scrap metal. They could only rely on cards to return to town. In the dead of night, with a torrential downpour, the country roads were deserted. Yu Hanjiang led the way, speeding up, and the group returned to Ye Qi's lodging in town in just a few minutes.
Yu Hanjiang's gaze swept over everyone, and he instructed, " Xiao Lou, CEO Shao, Ye Qi, and I will take Song Xiaoqing and rush back to the city tonight. The other four of you stay at the hotel and finish reviewing the information Ye Qi found as soon as possible, then compile and send it to me."
The four people who stayed behind all nodded. The materials Ye Qi brought were piled up like a mountain, most of which were patient medical records. It seemed that they would have to work through the night to sort them out.
After leaving the hotel, Yu Hanjiang led the group to the parking lot and handed the car he had driven to the town to Shao Qingge, saying, " CEO Shao, you drive. Xiao Lou will sit in the passenger seat and keep in touch with the other four. Ye Qi and I will sit in the back with Song Xiaoqing. I'll interrogate her on the way."
Since Qingshui Town is a 3-hour drive from the city center, taking the witnesses to the interrogation room after arriving at the city police station would waste those 3 hours. In this special period, there's no need to adhere to strict rules and regulations; Yu Hanjiang plans to obtain the results en route, allowing Song Xiaoqing to write a complete statement immediately upon arrival at the police station.
The rain outside was getting heavier, but Shao Qingge drove the car fast and steadily.
Driving too fast in a downpour is actually quite dangerous, but Ye Qi didn't have much time left. Shao Qingge used his old skills from racing on mountain roads with a few rich kids. As soon as the car got on the highway, he went full throttle and shot off like an arrow.
Inside the car.
Xiao Lou sat in the passenger seat helping with the statement taking, while Ye Qi and Yu Hanjiang sat in the back with witnesses. Yu Hanjiang handcuffed Song Xiaoqing.
Song Xiaoqing's eyes were downcast, her short hair was still wet and dripping water, and she looked disheartened.
Yu Hanjiang began by asking how she and Rong Cheng met: "Ms. Song, tell us the details of how you and Rong Cheng met and then joined the organ trafficking organization together."
Song Xiaoqing kept her head down and didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard.
Yu Hanjiang said coldly, "I think you know perfectly well how that building exploded. To silence us, they even tried to kill you. Is there any point in protecting someone like that?"
Thinking of the blazing fire just now, Song Xiaoqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips quivered uncontrollably. She clenched her hands, which were handcuffed behind her back, and still gritted her teeth, refusing to speak.
Just then, everyone's body suddenly tilted to the right. Song Xiaoqing almost hit her head on the car window. She looked up in shock at the driver in the front seat.
Shao Qingge jerked the steering wheel with both hands, and the car changed lanes at lightning speed under his control!
His deep voice came from inside the car: "Someone is following us."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at the rearview mirror—sure enough, a car behind him had its glaring high beams on. In the pitch-black rainy night, the car's color was obscured, and the license plate was also covered, but judging from its shape and the height of the headlights, it should be an SUV.
In a collision between an SUV and a sedan, the latter will definitely suffer the loss.
As the car drew closer, Yu Hanjiang's gaze darkened, and he asked Shao Qingge, "Can we shake them off?"
Shao Qingge smiled slightly: "Trust me. When I was a rebellious teenager, I used to play exciting games with a few friends, and racing cars was one of my strengths."
Just as he finished speaking, he jerked the steering wheel again, and the car made a clean 90-degree drift at the corner ahead!
Almost the instant the car turned the corner, gunshots rang out from the back seat—the other party clearly wanted to shoot out the car's tires and cause it to overturn. Fortunately, Shao Qingge dodged in time!
Hearing the piercing gunshot, Xiao Lou glanced fearfully at Shao Qingge. The man's gaze was icy cold, but a slight smirk played on his lips: "Trying to woo me? Your skills are still lacking."
Song Xiaoqing, sitting in the back, was terrified by Shao Qingge's two consecutive emergency lane changes, her face turning as pale as paper.
Yu Hanjiang said calmly, "Miss Song, do you still remember Cheng Shaofeng, who was hit by a truck and fell off a bridge on the highway and died?"
Song Xiaoqing suddenly realized: "They...they're here to chase me?"
"Well, your boss is probably afraid you'll say something that's bad for him." Yu Hanjiang paused, his gaze sharp as he stared into her eyes. "You know we outsiders have special abilities. The four of us won't die if we get hit. But you definitely won't survive."
Song Xiaoqing: "......"
"Still won't you tell me?"
The struggle in Song Xiaoqing's eyes had been replaced by a resolute determination. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll talk!"
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou, who met his gaze in the rearview mirror and tacitly took out a voice recorder.
Yu Hanjiang asked, " When did you meet Rong Cheng?"
Song Xiaoqing lowered her head and said softly, "My family and I, Brother Rong... Rong Cheng, are old friends. We've known each other since we were very young. After graduating from university, his father gave him some start-up capital so he could start his own company. Since he majored in pharmacology, he started a pharmaceutical company."
"When did it become associated with organ trafficking?"
"It must have been twelve years ago." Song Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said definitively, "At that time, his company was just starting out. Because it was his first time running a company, he lacked experience and lost all the funds his father had given him. The company almost went bankrupt. During that period, he was extremely depressed and drank heavily every day. Later, suddenly..."
However, someone gave him an investment that saved his pharmaceutical company; I don't know who it was.
Shao Qingge interjected, "It should be my dad. We can check his investment records from twelve years ago when we get back."
As he spoke, he glanced at the rearview mirror again. The SUV was very powerful and had been chasing closely behind. If it were just a matter of shaking off the other vehicle, Shao Qingge could easily do so with his superb driving skills. But the problem was that they had guns and could shoot out the car's tires at any time!
He went racing with his friends, but none of them brought guns.
I narrowly escaped danger by drifting around a corner just now, but I might not be so lucky next time.
The situation is different now; he can't rely solely on his driving skills to evade. Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and said to Yu Hanjiang through the Telepathic Connection, " Captain Yu, it seems I need your help."
Yu Hanjiang nodded understandingly: "You mean, I want to blow out their tires before they blow out ours?"
Shao Qingge laughed and said, "That's right!"
After he finished speaking, he yanked the car back into the far left overtaking lane!
The passenger window of the SUV behind them was open, and the man fired a few more bullets. However, due to Shao Qingge's sudden lane change, the bullets grazed the tires and flew past, leaving several black holes in the bridge piers beside them.
At this moment, Shao Qingge's car and the SUV behind him were in the same lane, no more than 100 meters apart.
Yu Hanjiang took out a gun and opened the car window.
Outside the car window, the rain was pouring down. As soon as he opened the window, a lot of rainwater mixed with cold wind rushed into the car, making Song Xiaoqing shiver. Yu Hanjiang squinted and aimed at the left front wheel of the car behind him.
Heavy rain can impair visibility, but Yu Hanjiang has apprehended criminals in the rain before, so this effect is negligible to him.
Yu Hanjiang decisively pulled the trigger.
With two gunshots, the left wheel was instantly pierced by bullets!
The vehicle, having lost its balance, tilted uncontrollably. At such high speeds, it couldn't brake in time and crashed directly into the median strip of the highway. The man in the passenger seat cursed angrily and pulled out his gun to fire, only to find that the car in front of him had nimbly changed lanes again, disappearing into the thick darkness of the night.
Shao Qingge glanced at the rearview mirror and realized that he had already left the other car far behind. He couldn't help but smile and praise, "Well done."
Yu Hanjiang holstered his gun and rolled up the car window.
Song Xiaoqing was still in shock, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg. Yu Hanjiang looked at her and said, "Miss Song, please continue."
Once she came to her senses, Song Xiaoqing gave up struggling completely and told everything she knew.
Twelve years ago, Rong Cheng's pharmaceutical company suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of bankruptcy. At a critical moment, someone came to his rescue and saved his company. He regarded this person as his benefactor. Song Xiaoqing really didn't know who this benefactor was, nor did she know what business Rong Cheng was doing with this person. She only knew that Rong Cheng started developing new drugs, and the company's performance was getting better and better.
Later, Rong Cheng suggested that she start a medical device company to make money together, saying that the medical device industry was extremely profitable. Intrigued, Song Xiaoqing persuaded her brother and father to give her some money as start-up capital. Initially, she knew nothing about business and listened to Rong Cheng in everything he said; she partnered with whomever he told her to.
By the time she found out what kind of business Rong Cheng was involved in, it was too late. She was already deeply involved, and all the people who associated with Rong Cheng were not simple individuals; they used her family's lives as leverage. At that point, she couldn't extricate herself and could only continue down the wrong path.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but ask, "Is the benefactor who invested in Rong Cheng's company the leader of your organization?"
Song Xiaoqing nodded: "It should be. He never shows his face, and I don't know his real identity. The only people who probably know who he is are Brother Rong and Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong arranged the money laundering, and He Rong and I assisted him; Brother Rong handled all the other contact with the outside world."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou through the rearview mirror.
It seems that Brother Rong and Uncle Zhong are both the second-in-command of the organization, one in charge of internal affairs and the other in charge of external affairs.
Then the highest leader must be Shao Zhengyang, right?
Yu Hanjiang asked, " CEO Shao, have you checked your father's investment records?"
Shao Qingge shook his head with a wry smile: "No, I never suspected him at first. I've been investigating Uncle Zhong's whereabouts these past few days. However, he's so meticulous that he wouldn't leave any evidence even if he were to invest. I suspect that he might use the name of a subsidiary registered under another legal entity to invest in Rong Cheng's pharmaceutical company."
Other legal entities?
Xiao Lou, who wasn't very knowledgeable about economics, asked curiously, "You mean, even if we find investment records from twelve years ago, it has nothing to do with Shao Zhengyang, and he would use someone else's name?"
Shao Qingge said, "This is common in business. For example, he registered a shell company under Uncle Zhong's name, made up the accounts, and invested tens of millions into this company. Then this company invested tens of millions into Rong Cheng's company. After the investment, he pretended to be in poor management and went bankrupt and was dissolved. No matter how much we investigate, we can only find the legal representative he found, who is the scapegoat. It's not that easy to find any evidence against him."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and began to think carefully.
Song Xiaoqing only had direct contact with Brother Rong and didn't know who the boss was, which was actually within his expectations. Otherwise, it would have been too easy to extract a confession from Song Xiaoqing and then arrest the person directly.
To find fault with Shao Zhengyang, we need to find Uncle Zhong and Rong Cheng, his two key associates.
Unfortunately, Uncle Zhong has already been silenced, Rong Cheng...
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and looked at Song Xiaoqing: "Do you know where Rong Cheng is now?"
Song Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, "He came to Qingshui Town yesterday. He was actually there when he kidnapped you and even checked if you were unconscious. Afterwards, he said he had urgent business to attend to and went back to the city first. He should be in the city by now. He has a villa in the city, which was bought in my name. It's in Jincui Villa."
Jincui Villa was also Cheng Shaofeng's residence. Liu Renyuan, the first person to have a kidney removed, was a security guard in this community.
Rong Cheng's visit to Qingshui Town was clearly for the "business deal" mentioned by He Rong, the owner of Tianya Club.
The secret room at Tianya Club contained a large number of brand-new guns. After Yu Hanjiang and his team discovered this during their nighttime infiltration of the club, they would definitely move the weapons away as soon as possible; this might be their last deal. Once Rong Cheng smuggled the weapons into the boss's hands, the person who had done him a favor might immediately silence him.
Once " Uncle Zhong " and " Brother Rong " who knew the truth were dead, Shao Zhengyang could finally rest easy.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked, "Do you know where they usually exchange weapons?"
Song Xiaoqing said, "It should be at the bay dock. The previous handovers all took place there. Brother Rong has taken control of that dock, and there are many of his own people there."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hanjiang immediately called the Municipal Public Security Bureau and asked them to dispatch police officers to the Haiwan Wharf for advance deployment.
Knowing the situation was urgent, Shao Qingge stepped on the gas and sped up.
In the pitch-black rainy night, the car sped along, and Ye Qi sat inside, nervously looking out the window.
If Rong Cheng has successfully completed this last deal and received the money, Shao Zhengyang will likely silence him and leave the country on a private jet. This way, they won't be able to catch the Boss and won't be able to pass through.
However, if the other side hasn't handed over the weapons yet, and they want to capture Brother Rong who is carrying a large amount of weaponry, it could very well be a fierce battle!
