San Pang’s situation was more important than finding Lu Yao, as lives were at stake, and not just one.
Yang Jian asked his eldest sister to go back first. He went to the company and found Biao Biao and Liang Liang. He told them about San Pang’s situation.
“No way, no wonder there were rumors a while ago that he was a scammer. I couldn’t get him on the phone either. So he went to Northern Myanmar,” Liang Liang said. Liang Liang had been at the company longer and was more familiar with people there, so he had heard some rumors.
“Biao Biao, you come with me to Chengguan. We’ll pay someone to find Brother Mao. If we can’t find Brother Mao, we’ll find Baoguo. They’ll definitely know who San Pang and the others were sold to, and then I can ask Brother Fan to investigate.” Yang Jian had heard about Northern Myanmar from Afeng. There were too many factions there, and tens of thousands of people had been tricked into going. It wasn’t easy to find San Pang and the others precisely.
Biao Biao nodded. “No problem, I’ll make a call. I have my brothers in Chengguan.”
“Also, I plan to visit Huanglong Prison. Lu Feng and Afeng are both serving time there. If I have time, I also want to visit Shayang to see Li Jin. Do you guys want to come along?”
“Let’s go together. We haven’t seen Brother Feng in a long time either.”
“Then let’s go now. I have some things to do in Chengguan.”
Yang Jian hadn’t bought a car yet, so he had to let Biao Biao drive him. The two of them set off immediately and drove straight to the People’s Hospital. When they asked in the surgery department, they learned that Wei Xia had been transferred to the provincial hospital, and the nurse on duty didn’t have her contact information.
It seemed they could only ask Lu Feng for information about Lu Yao. The two decided to go to Huanglong Prison the next day. Biao Biao had a house in Chengguan, while Yang Jian went to his eldest sister’s house. The house there had been renovated, and he wanted to experience it. The 180-square-meter house was decorated in a simple, light luxury style, fully equipped with furniture and appliances. Knowing her brother was back, Yang Hui had prepared clean sheets and quilts for him, and Yang Jian could move in directly.
After a night’s rest, Biao Biao drove to pick him up early in the morning, and they headed straight for Huanglong Prison.
“Brother Jian, I arranged for people to gather information yesterday. Neither Brother Mao nor Baoguo is in Chengguan. There’s news that Baoguo might be selling meth,” Biao Biao reported as he drove.
Yang Jian sneered. “If Baoguo is dealing drugs, then the boss behind him must be Brother Mao. Since they are connected to Northern Myanmar, their meth is likely trafficked from there.”
“Brother Jian, you’re not planning to go to Northern Myanmar, are you?”
“To rescue San Pang and the others, going to Northern Myanmar is unavoidable. After meeting Lu Feng, I’ll contact Brother Fan.” Yang Jian was torn between two concerns: one was the urgent need to find Lu Yao, and the other was the immediate safety of San Pang.
“Brother Jian, I’ll go with you. If there’s a chance, we can take care of Brother Mao there. This guy is too evil and will harm more people in the future.”
“That’s what I’m thinking too. No matter where he is, I won’t let him go.” Yang Jian had long harbored the intention to kill Brother Mao and planned to deal with him specifically after returning this time.
Two hours later, they arrived at Huanglong Prison. According to the prison arrangements, they first met with Afeng.
“Brother Jian, your case is settled?” Afeng was surprised to see Yang Jian, not expecting him to be released so quickly.
“It’s settled. I was released unconditionally. Are you doing okay in here? Has anyone bothered you?”
“It’s great that you’re okay. I’m fine too. With my skills, who would dare to bother me in here? I beat up the prison bully as soon as I came in. Anan and Junjun are not in this prison. Co-defendants can’t be held together. I don’t know their exact location.”
“Alright, I’ll inquire about it when I get back.”
“Brother Jian, what’s the situation in Dongjiang?”
“Something has happened there. Let’s not talk about this topic. I have a good brother here too, named Lu Feng. Have you heard of him?” The Xintai case was under review and investigation, so this sensitive topic couldn’t be discussed in this setting.
“This prison is quite large, and I haven’t been here long, so I haven’t heard of Lu Feng.”
“It’s okay, he should be out soon. I’ll transfer some money to your account later. Eat well. I’ll have Yongli keep your company dividends for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything.” Money makes the mare go. After meeting with Afeng, the prison immediately arranged for Lu Feng to meet them.
“Xiao Yang? Your case is cleared, and the arrest warrant is canceled?” Lu Feng was also very surprised to see Yang Jian.
“Brother Feng, you’ve lost weight. I’m fine now. I surrendered myself a few months ago and was released unconditionally a few days ago.”
“That’s great. I heard you were on the run for several years. Now you can finally live a normal life.”
“Brother Feng, when can you get out?”
“I’ve had multiple opportunities for sentence reduction. I’ll be out in another six months.”
“Okay, that’s soon too. Come to my place after you get out. I’ll give you some shares. Biao Biao and Liang Liang are both in the company. If you want to start a business, I can support you too.”
“Sure, I was worried about what to do after I get out. Forget about starting a business, I’m not cut out for business.” Yang Jian changed the subject. “Brother Feng, where is Yaoyao? I heard she left Chengguan after something happened to me.”
Lu Feng knew Yang Jian would ask this question from the moment he saw him. He remained silent for a moment. “Xiao Yang, haven’t you found a girlfriend in the past few years?”
“No, I’ve been evading police pursuit all these years. Even when I stabilized later, I didn’t dare to have too much contact with the outside world. I never dared to get involved in romantic relationships. Moreover, I’ve been waiting to reunite with Yaoyao. I won’t betray her until I see her.”
“My dad said you invested tens of millions in our hometown to build a Yaochi Garden?”
“Yes, when Yaoyao was at my house, she said that if I had money in the future, I should build a garden next to the template factory, and take classmates and colleagues there for camping and flower viewing during holidays. I’ve always kept this in mind. Once I had money, I invested in building this Yaochi Garden. Most of the facilities in this garden are completed, and it will officially open to tourists during Chinese New Year this year. You should be out by then.”
Lu Feng nodded. “Xiao Yang, you’re thoughtful. I can see that you’re sincere towards Yaoyao. Originally, my parents wouldn’t have agreed to you seeing Yaoyao again, and they deliberately blocked all your information. Since you’re so sincere, I’ll tell you her address. As for whether you can move Yaoyao or persuade my parents, it depends on your own ability.”
Yang Jian was overjoyed. “Brother Feng, if you say so, does that mean Yaoyao is not married?”
“No, she was pregnant when she left Chengguan. To give birth to this child without causing gossip, she went to my cousin’s place in Kyoto alone. The child is almost three years old now. My parents brought him to visit not long ago. He looks a lot like you. Yaoyao hasn’t found anyone else, she’s probably waiting for you. Hurry up and go find her.” Lu Feng actually knew that his sister hadn’t gotten married all these years because she was waiting for Yang Jian. Both of them loved each other deeply, and they shouldn’t be kept apart.
