Chapter 135: Ready to Go

A dock worker at the port received a notice from the kidnappers and drove a trailer to the path that their car had to pass early on.

The bald man and the scarred man escorted Jiang Xingyao and Zhou Cheng into the container and threw in a bag of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water.

"Aren't you capable? Untie it yourself."

The bald man did not untie the hostages as he did in the past. The yellow-haired man's life or death is now uncertain, and he wishes he could send them to hell.

The kidnappers probably took into consideration that Jiang Xingyao was the second son of the Jiang family, so they didn't use much force on him. But it was different with Zhou Cheng. The anger that they didn't take out on Jiang Xingyao was taken out on him instead.

After the container was successfully transported to the freighter, the bearded man sent a message to his boss that the mission was completed.

As expected, the other party required the freighter to depart smoothly before they would pay the final payment.

"A typhoon is coming, and all ships have stopped leaving the port."

The crew member who came to pick him up was chewing betel nut and speaking vaguely while counting money.

"Stop bluffing! You said there's going to be a typhoon in this weather?"

Scarface grew up by the sea, so he knows best whether there will be a typhoon or not.

"Boss, if it's said there is money, then there is money. The weather at sea changes rapidly." The crewman said to them with a chuckle after counting the money.

Just as they were about to walk out of the cabin, the broadcast inside the freighter suddenly sounded.

"Attention all crew members, please close the hatch immediately and accept inspection. Attention all crew members, please close the hatch immediately and accept inspection."

"What's going on?" the bald man asked the crew member in confusion.

"Routine inspection, right?" The crew members were also confused.

Just as they were looking at each other, several hatches closed one after another.

The crew took out their cell phones and started contacting other crew members. It turned out that it was not just their freighter, but all ships in the port were required to cooperate with relevant departments for inspection and were all blocked.

The crew then began to panic.

Could it be that the truth has been revealed?

Several kidnappers began to wonder. They had never encountered such a thing before. What could cause the entire port to be closed? Even if the Jiang and Su families were rich, they couldn't possibly have such a capability.

"I'll go up and see what's going on." The crew felt it was too dangerous to stay with them, so they made an excuse to leave.

The bearded man nodded without saying anything, but just as the crew member turned to leave, he winked at the bald man, who immediately understood and knocked the crew member unconscious with a knife.

"Boss, this kid is too cunning. He will be a disaster if he is kept. Don't you think?" The bald man looked fierce.

The bearded man nodded slightly; the bald head suited his taste. The situation was dire; they were trapped on the ship. If his secrets were to be exposed, it would be better to silence him now rather than leaving him with a ticking time bomb.

Mincheng, Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Lu Ze directly called Lu Jinshen in the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and after telling him the whole story, he began to ask him to temporarily close the Donglan Port and assist the police in searching for the hostages.

Director Zhang asked Su Qingyan in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face who the father of this little foreigner was.

Su Qingyan also shook his head in confusion.

After a while, Lu Ze hung up the phone and told Su Qingyan that the Donglan police had gone to the port to prepare for the search.

"You... who is your father?" Su Qingyan saw that Lu Ze's serious expression did not seem like a joke, but he still wanted to confirm it. After all, with his way of thinking, there was no telling what he might do.

"Aren't you my father?" Lu Ze helped Su Qingyan for the first time and was in a good mood. He replied with a smile.

"Stop it..." Su Qingyan was not in the mood to play tricks on him at the moment.

Lu Ze whispered a name, and Director Zhang, who was standing next to him, also heard it. He immediately stood up straight, almost saluting reflexively.

"You...you...are really a hidden talent..."

Su Qingyan had always thought that Lu Ze's family background was similar to hers. After all, since he could go to high school and college with him, his family must be either rich or noble. It was just because he was an illegitimate child that he was never liked by his family.

But he never expected that Lu Ze's family background could no longer be described as "prominent", but had directly been promoted to the position of "unspeakable".

But the situation is urgent now, and he has no time to think about it carefully. He urges Director Zhang to set off for Donglan as soon as possible.

"Qingyan, cross-provincial law enforcement requires approval..." Director Zhang was helpless and complained about how these young masters always had wild ideas.

"Then I'll give Old Lu another call." Lu Ze said as he took out his phone again.

But before he could dial the number, Director Zhang's phone rang.

"Director Qi, please speak."

When Director Zhang saw the caller's name, his expression immediately became serious. Anyone would tremble with fear when hearing a call from their immediate superior.

"Okay, Director, I understand. I got it. Okay."

After Director Zhang hung up the phone, he immediately notified all departments and set off to Donglan to rescue the hostages.

"Old Lu is quite capable at critical moments." Lu Ze said as he looked at the well-trained police officers.

"Let's go, don't just stand there."

Su Qingyan was extremely anxious and wanted to fly to Zhou Cheng immediately.

The entire police station took quick action, and the convoy set off after the personnel were assembled.

However, Su Qingyan did not follow the convoy. He and Lu Ze went to the roof of the Municipal Bureau together.

"Lu Ze, I'll settle the score with you after this is over."

"Dad! I'm helping you! You can't destroy the bridge after crossing it!"

"Don't call me dad, I'm not as capable as your dad."

Su Qingyan looked into the distance, urging the helicopter to come quickly.

The unease in his heart grew stronger. Why had Zhou Cheng been kidnapped? He had been missing for almost 12 hours. Was he being tortured? Why hadn't the kidnappers contacted him? What was their purpose in kidnapping Zhou Cheng?

Maybe it really has something to do with Su Chonglin.

The roar of the helicopter interrupted Su Qingyan's thoughts.

Lu Jinshen has already deployed the police force at Donglan Port, and there is no need for them to follow the Mincheng police all the time. Now he just hopes that Donglan can find Zhou Cheng quickly so that he can see Zhou Cheng safe and sound as soon as he lands.

Lu Ze jumped onto the helicopter first, but when it was Su Qingyan's turn, he stumbled.

Lu Ze quickly reached out to help him.

"Be careful. Why do you look so bad? Have you not eaten?"

Lu Ze’s philosophy of life is that even if the world is ending, he must fill his stomach first and would rather die of starvation than die.

"Go to the dock and get some chips" is his philosophy of life.

Now it’s time to actually go to the pier.

But Su Qingyan was in no mood to eat. Just now, he had just had a few sips of tea at Director Zhang's place, which made his stomach bloated and nauseous. If he ate anything else, he would vomit it out.

After settling into his seat, he began to think of Zhou Cheng again. Not long ago, they had taken this helicopter to the mountains for fun. At that time, he didn't understand why Zhou Cheng was always so nervous. Now he finally understood how anxious he felt when he couldn't be sure of his partner's safety.
