At Villa No. 10, Administrative Tan Palace.
Qi Mingdao sat in the living room, staring at the messages on his phone, his face ashen. His fist was clenched, his eyes fierce.
"I told you to kill Fang Tianci, and you caused such a huge commotion!"
"Gunfight at the intersection, forced entry into the Dragon Investigation Bureau, intentional assault on police, attempted murder, what else do you plan to do?!"
Qi Mingdao stood up in anger and hurled the phone he was holding at them, his voice a roar.
Veins had bulged on his neck, and a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes, wishing he could shoot them all dead.
These bastards!
Ghost sneered, "Who knew the authorities were so weak now? I only used a little trick. I've broken into quite a few investigation bureaus in my time, but none were as useless as this one."
Hearing this, Qi Mingdao became even more enraged, staring at him and growling, "This isn't your era anymore. Times have changed!"
"You figure out how to resolve this matter yourself, and don't involve me, or your descendants will suffer the same fate as Fang Tianci!"
If this matter implicated him, let alone his current status, even with the most powerful backing, he couldn't afford it. This matter had escalated too much; a single misstep could lead to an abyss.
Who knew these fools would make such a mess!
Ghost's eyes narrowed. "Are you threatening me?"
Qi Mingdao's gaze turned dangerous, and he gritted his teeth, "If anything happens to me, your descendants will all die. They will be my funeral sacrifices!"
"Ghost Blade is beyond saving, he won't betray me. If you don't want to die, you'd better do as I say."
Ghost stared at him intently, his voice icy. "So you want to sacrifice me to save yourself?"
A hint of killing intent flickered in his eyes, unmasked.
Qi Mingdao threw him a file bag and said coldly, "This is your new identity. Go abroad and lay low for a while. Once this storm passes, you can return. There's ten million US dollars in your account, enough for you to lie low during this period.
The file bag contains your plane ticket. The flight departs in fifty minutes. You need to hurry to the airport and leave this place."
Ghost Blade had definitely failed. He didn't even need to think about it. If he hadn't failed, he would have returned before Ghost. But since he hadn't, it could only mean failure.
Now that this had happened, if he didn't distance himself, he would be implicated.
"If no more money comes in later, I promise I'll come back and kill your entire family!"
Meanwhile, Ye Longlin sat in his office at the Dragon Investigation Bureau, his expression grim.
"In the gunfight at the intersection, three were seriously injured, nineteen sustained moderate injuries, and six were lightly injured. As for property damage, one BMW 7 Series, two BMW 3 Series, one Audi A4, and three Emperor cars, two BYD cars, and five taxis. The road surface sustained varying degrees of damage, along with four streetlights."
This was the current tally.
"We didn't suffer much loss, only Little Seven is now... Boss, you must avenge Little Seven! Little Seven is so innocent and cute, how could that scoundrel bear to hurt him!!"
Little Seven was the darling of the Dragon Investigation Bureau, young, with a round face, and spoke softly. No one knew how he even got admitted.
"The attacker on the Dragon Investigation Bureau is called Ghost, an S-class wanted criminal, one of the criminals I'm currently pursuing. Our previous intelligence indicated he was in Nan Province, and our people were monitoring him, but he suddenly appeared here. He's definitely not simple.
Immediately seal off the airport, train stations, and bus stations. Anyone found with a similar appearance, apprehend and interrogate immediately. We cannot let him escape!"
Ye Longlin said slowly, his words decisive.
The man definitely had to be apprehended.
Xuan Niao walked out of the interrogation room, his white robe stained with a few speckles of blood.
"He's a tough nut to crack, didn't reveal anything, but it's certain he has someone behind him, and it's a big shot in Xingcheng."
"On the surface, there are the four major families, but there are still many people operating in the shadows. This Xingcheng is becoming more and more interesting."
Ye Longlin frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Yuan Gang, Xuan Niao, come with me to the airport."
"If he has someone behind him, Ghost will definitely try to leave Xingcheng now. The fastest way to leave is by plane, so there's a high probability he'll be at the airport."
Leaving through the border was impossible now; the defense forces had more than doubled. It was absolutely impossible to get out, and even forcing a way through would undoubtedly lead to a confrontation. If he got bogged down, the only outcome would be capture.
Furthermore, train stations and bus stations were too slow. After an incident like this, the sooner one left, the better.
Therefore, for the time being, the airport was the best option.
Xu Denggui reacted immediately and ordered, "Xiao Wang, take your team to guard the docks. Xiao Zhang, immediately issue a wanted notice through all platforms. You guys, go through all the surveillance. You guys, dig deep into the people he contacted. Solve the case within twenty-four hours!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The massive machinery of the Dragon Investigation Bureau sprang into action, city-wide surveillance began to be accessed, particularly his escape route.
"All outgoing personnel to be armed. Be vigilant, the criminal will definitely be disguised. Keep your eyes sharp!"
"Understood!"
The atmosphere in the car was also heavy. Ye Longlin remained silent, holding his laptop, personally tracing the connections of the people behind them.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Xuan Niao, check the intersection between Fang Tianci and Butler Sun, and the people behind Butler Sun. Correlate it with Ghost's departure direction and route. I want to know Ghost's final destination!"
Xuan Niao nodded. "Understood, I'll check it right away."
The intelligence network of the behemoth known as the Dragon Pavilion was simultaneously activated, analyzing their life histories, querying every single mission.
He refused to believe that by investigating thoroughly, there wouldn't be any commonalities!
Soon, upon arriving at the airport, the three of them blended into the crowd, their eyes scanning the faces of every passerby. They could tell at a glance whether someone had disguised themselves.
"Pay attention to the boarding gates in half an hour. We must find the person!"
In half an hour, only three planes were scheduled to depart: one flying abroad, one to Hu City, and one to the capital.
"Received!"
"Received!"
Meanwhile, Ye Lin looked at a young man wearing a hat and hoodie, pacing back and forth, a playful smile appearing on her lips.
"Ye Mengxin, go confirm if that suspicious person is Ye Longlin."
It truly was a case of enemies meeting.
Seeing Ye Longlin acting suspiciously at the airport was quite amusing.
"Whatever you, Ye Longlin, care about, I will strive to disrupt. What you want to obtain, I will destroy!"
"How dare you oppose me? Who gave you the courage?"
