The phone is an old-fashioned model, and it only has one number on it.
Yu Shanshan dialed the number, and the other end answered quickly:
"What's wrong?"
"The police just found me and asked if they'd seen you. They've definitely traced you back to you. You'd better run!"
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said, "I understand."
"Shanshan, thank you! I'm sorry!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shanshan's tears instantly welled up:
"It's all in the past. From now on... live a good life!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone and then threw the SIM card into the toilet to destroy it.
Unbeknownst to Yu Shanshan, all of this was clearly seen by the little paper figure hiding in the shadows.
Lu Qing immediately called Wang Yanjun and asked him to investigate the house and car registered under Yu Shanshan's name.
Not long after, he discovered that Yu Shanshan had used her ID card to rent a small apartment of only 30 square meters in the old town.
After contacting the landlord, Wang Yanjun confirmed that Gao Tianqi was indeed the one who had moved in, and immediately took action.
"Gao Tianqi can control Yayu, everyone be extremely careful!" Lu Qing warned.
Wang Yanjun and his men, dressed in plainclothes, went door-to-door to notify and evacuate the residents. Soon, only Gao Tianqi remained in the entire building.
Lu Qing set up an array to seal off the entire building to prevent him from escaping.
Just as the crowd was slowly approaching, the door to Gao Tianqi's room was suddenly kicked open from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Tianqi rode out from inside on Yayu.
Upon discovering that their surroundings were sealed off by an array, the man and the beast immediately fled to the top floor.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng immediately gave chase.
"Gao Tianqi, surrender now, you can't escape!"
Gao Tianqi stood on the edge of the rooftop, glanced down, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:
“I knew I couldn’t escape, but it doesn’t matter. If I die, those people will be buried with me. They can never turn back into real people.”
Gao Tianqi stroked Yayu's head beside him, his smile sinister and eerie.
"Only Yayu can break the power of the demons; we must capture them alive!" Lu Qing whispered.
"Gao Tianqi, what do you want in exchange for Yayu lifting the spell?" Wang Yanjun asked coldly.
Gao Tianqi: "Prepare a car and $100,000 for me. Don't follow me. Once I'm in a safe place, I'll have Yayu lift the spell."
Wang Yanjun's brows furrowed slightly.
"Impossible! If we do as you ask, and you don't dispel the spell, where are we supposed to find you?"
Gao Tianqi sneered: "It's fine if you don't agree. At worst, we'll just let them die with me. I won't lose anything!"
“You…” Wang Yanjun was furious and was about to grab Gao Tianqi, but Lu Qing stopped him.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. If he really drags Yayu down with him and commits suicide, those people will be truly beyond saving."
Lu Qing looked at Gao Tianqi, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"In that case, we'll each compromise. The money and the car will be prepared for you right away, but you must dispel the spell after you leave the restricted area."
I know you're worried about us chasing you. You can choose someone to be a hostage, and release them only when you're somewhere you feel safe. How about that?
Gao Tianqi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"good!"
The car and money were quickly prepared and delivered.
Gao Tianqi took Yayu into the car and left, and everyone followed. His car only stopped after they left Kyoto.
Gao Tianqi got out of the car and pointed at Lu Qingdao:
"Come here and be a hostage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lu Qing with worried expressions.
Gao Tianqi smiled and said, "I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person."
Everyone cares about this girl; as long as they control her, they can ensure their own safety.
"I'm the captain, I'll be your hostage!" Wang Yanjun said coldly.
Gao Tianqi: "I want her! Either she comes, or we die together!"
"Fine! I'll be your hostage!"
Lu Qing looked at Gu Xicheng with a hint of helplessness and smiled:
"I'm fine."
"Be careful!" Gu Xicheng said, then reluctantly let go of her hand.
Lu Qing walked over and sat in the passenger seat. Ya Yu's power immediately wrapped around her neck, pinning her to the seat.
"Now you can dispel the spell!"
Gao Tianqi looked at Yayu, his voice softening:
"Release it!"
Yayu nodded to him, let out a low roar, and then wisps of power emanated from his body, drifting towards the more than thirty victims.
The Bureau of Investigation quickly sent word that everyone had woken up.
After receiving the message, Wang Yanjun nodded slightly to Lu Qing, then signaled everyone to stop and let Gao Tianqi and Ya Yu leave.
As the car drove further and further away, Liu Manyun's face was full of worry.
"Manyun, believe in her, she'll be alright!" Jianming comforted her.
In the car, Lu Qing stared quietly ahead, without saying a word.
Gao Tianqi glanced at Lu Qing and suddenly spoke:
"You must be Chu Qianjue's sister!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "You still remember my fifth brother!"
Gao Tianqi: "I have been practicing dance since I was a child. Every teacher said that I have a lot of talent. In terms of singing and dancing, I think I have few rivals. Chu Qianjue is the only person I admire."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'll release you once I'm in a safe place."
Lu Qing: "I know."
Gao Tianqi was stunned for a moment: "What do you know?"
Lu Qing: "I know you won't kill me. Just like you could have had Ya Yu kill those people directly, but you didn't."
“My fifth brother said you are a very good opponent and a very kind person, and he is right.”
"Kindness?" Gao Tianqi couldn't help but feel ironic.
"What's the use of kindness! It only leads to a ruined future!"
Lu Qing turned to look at him and asked, "We still have a long way to go, right? Can I play a song for you?"
Gao Tianqi: "Go ahead and release it!"
Lu Qing typed the song title into the car's music player, and soon the music started playing.
As soon as the familiar melody began, Gao Tianqi's eyes narrowed instantly:
"This is……"
"I've listened to 'Against the Light,' the original song you performed on your first stage, quite a few times," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Gao Tianqi: "You...you like this song?"
Lu Qing: "It sounds great, but I don't usually like listening to music. I listen to your songs because I'm a police officer and want to understand the suspect."
Upon hearing this, Gao Tianqi not only wasn't angry, but instead smiled:
"You're so honest!"
"Then tell me, what clues did you glean from this song?"
“Dream.” Lu Qing slowly uttered the two words.
"Back then, you stood on the stage full of dreams, determined to walk forward even if the road ahead was full of thorns. But who would have thought that your dreams would be destroyed by that group of scum!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of hatred flashed in Gao Tianqi's eyes.
"Fifth Brother has reviewed the video of your accident many times. He said those people may have done it on purpose."
"You must have heard about the bullying incidents involving contestants on talent shows a while ago, right? You also experienced something like that back then, didn't you?"
As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, Gao Tianqi immediately drove the car to the emergency lane and stopped.
Tears streamed down his cheeks and dripped onto the steering wheel.
