Three helicopters, returning from the Golden Triangle to the Yunnan Ruili Police Base in China, slowly landed at the parking bay…
A unit of fully armed armed police approached. Zhao Gang and his team escorted Peng Ka and Pala down, officially handing them over to the armed police for detention and transport to Kunming the next day for further trial.
“Distinguished viewers, what you are seeing now is Peng Ka, the drug king of the Golden Triangle, and Pala, the murderer in the 8.6 murder case. During the joint operation by the armies of the three countries against Peng Ka’s drug trafficking group in the Golden Triangle, our police force successfully apprehended Peng Ka and Pala and escorted them back to our country for trial, to bring justice for the 8.6 murder case…”
On site, a group of reporters were filming Zhao Gang and his team as they officially handed over Peng Ka and Pala to the armed police, who then escorted them back to the police station for temporary custody. Their subsequent interrogation would take place, and public trial would be some time away.
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting, Menghu, and Dishé descended from another helicopter. The reporters’ cameras also captured Wan Yunting and his entourage. Some reporters even approached them, attempting interviews, but were blocked by police officers.
Menghu and Dishé were somewhat shy and avoided being photographed. Only Wan Yunting seemed indifferent, waving and smiling at the cameras as he walked with the police officers towards another vehicle, heading back to the police station…
Huadu City, Police Station.
“That’s great.”
In his office, Pang Yuan, upon hearing from Lu Zhongnian on the phone that Wan Yunting had successfully apprehended Peng Ka and Pala and handed them over to the country, finally let go of his anxieties. He laughed heartily, “Old Lu, I told you long ago not to underestimate Little Wan. He is a man of great capability.”
“Mm.”
Lu Zhongnian and his team, who had also returned to the domestic police station by plane, were at a hospital visiting Niu Jinwu, the son of Niu Dahai. Niu Qiuling was also present.
“Alright, I’ll hang up now.” Lu Zhongnian finished his call with Pang Yuan and hung up.
Simultaneously, the news was being broadcast on various channels across the country. The 8.6 murder case had a profound impact. Seeing the news footage of Zhao Gang and his team handing over Peng Ka and Pala filled the entire nation with excitement. They were astonished that in just two months, the country had struck down Peng Ka, the biggest drug lord of the Golden Triangle’s drug kingdom, and his drug trafficking group.
“Hey, Sister Yan, look quickly, doesn’t that person look like Doctor Wan?”
At the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of the Southern Hospital, the nurses were idly watching the news on the hospital lobby’s television while eating sunflower seeds. They spotted Wan Yunting in the video, finding it hard to believe. Sister Yan was stunned. Facing Wan Yunting’s signature friendly smile towards the camera, who else could it be?
“Heavens, it really is Doctor Wan…”
Upon confirming it was Wan Yunting, Sister Yan and the other nurses erupted in excitement.
“Making so much noise, what is this?”
Just then, Jiang Yichun and Director Li returned from outside. Seeing Sister Yan and the others shouting excitedly, they reprimanded them unhappily.
“Dean Jiang, Director Li, quickly look at the television, it’s Doctor Wan…”
Sister Yan immediately pointed at the television, but Wan Yunting’s segment had already passed. Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde were watching the news report about the Yunnan police’s crackdown and the arrest of drug traffickers. As ordinary people, they rarely paid attention to such news.
“Doctor Wan went to Yunnan. The report on the television just showed him. It seemed he went to the Golden Triangle to help the police catch a major drug lord,” one of the nurses said excitedly.
Ever since Wan Yunting was forced to leave the hospital due to his identity as a prominent figure, Sister Yan and the others had felt bored. They even missed him somewhat. Now, seeing him in the news, they were all very excited.
“Golden Triangle, catching a major drug lord.”
Director Li was stunned and disbelieving. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“It’s true.”
Seeing that Dean Jiang and the others didn’t believe her, Sister Yan quickly grabbed the remote control to switch channels. Another channel was also reporting the same news and happened to show Wan Yunting smiling at the camera. She pointed excitedly, “Dean Jiang, look quickly, isn’t that Doctor Wan…”
Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde immediately leaned closer to the television, their eyes widening as they stared. They were instantly shocked, “This, this is really Little Wan…”
Jiang Yichun’s aged face was frozen. He was also certain it was Wan Yunting and said in disbelief, “How did he even go to the Golden Triangle to catch drug traffickers?”
Li Chengde, Sister Yan, and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment…
Fang Corporation.
“Manager Fang, did you see the CCTV news today?”
Secretary Lin Xiaoqi entered excitedly. Fang Yanxi was sitting at her desk, diligently handling documents related to the pharmaceutical company. Ever since confirming cooperation with Wan Yunting to establish a company, she had been busy with company registration and other preparations. “CCTV news, what about it?”
“Oh my, you’ll know once you see it,” Lin Xiaoqi said with a smile. “There will be a surprise.”
Fang Yanxi looked up at the girl in confusion. Lin Xiaoqi walked over and opened the computer in front of her, finding today’s news on Baidu. Indeed, the top headline was the news released by the Yunnan police today about the arrest and return of major drug lord Peng Ka.
Clicking to open it, she saw both text descriptions and a video. Lin Xiaoqi immediately clicked to play the video. The scene of Zhao Gang and his team handing over Peng Ka and Pala appeared, and soon after, the footage of Wan Yunting, Menghu, and the others showed up. “Look, isn’t this a surprise!”
Lin Xiaoqi paused the video, which was showing Wan Yunting smiling at the camera. Fang Yanxi’s pretty face instantly froze in astonishment, and she felt a surge of excitement within her.
During this period, she had been constantly calling Wan Yunting’s mobile phone and even inquired with Fang Dongming. She only knew that Wan Yunting had gone to Yunnan, but even his second brother wasn’t quite sure what he was doing there.
During this period of being out of contact, Fang Yanxi had been worried about Wan Yunting, even calling his switched-off phone more than ten times a day. Each time, it displayed as switched off, causing Fang Yanxi great concern. She had even gone to the police station to inquire about him.
This also greatly surprised Director Pang. Seeing that Fang Yanxi wanted to file a report to search for Wan Yunting, it was evident how genuinely worried she was about him during this time…
“He, how did he go to the Golden Triangle…”
Clicking to continue playing the video, Fang Yanxi, who now understood the entire situation, felt both excited and confused. She couldn’t understand why Wan Yunting, out of the blue, would go to the Golden Triangle to help the police catch drug lords.
Remembering something, she immediately took out her phone to call Wan Yunting, but it still displayed as switched off.
This scene made Lin Xiaoqi chuckle secretly, knowing that Fang Yanxi had been somewhat distracted at work lately, and understanding that she was thinking about a man.
“What are you laughing at? Go back to work.”
Her secretary having seen through her thoughts, Fang Yanxi’s pretty face flushed red. Lin Xiaoqi smiled and said, “Okay,” then turned and left.
Meanwhile, Fang Yanxi, glued to the computer screen, kept replaying the footage of Wan Yunting’s appearance. Her previous worry for his safety had now subsided. Looking at his friendly smile, her own charming red lips couldn't help but curve into a smile in front of the computer…
