Chapter 181 Two living people vanished into thin air!
"stop!"
Yang Lao Er shouted.
Old Yang turned his head to the side and was stunned when he saw his actions and the murderous intent in his eyes.
Ning Jinli also saw this scene and quietly grabbed Lao Yang's arm.
"Second brother, what do you mean?" Old Yang asked.
Yang Lao Er stared intently at him, "Brother, I'll ask you one more time, are you really going to ruin Zhengxing?"
Old Yang's face was filled with anger. "It wasn't me who ruined him, it was you and him! I absolutely cannot stand by and watch him get away with it!"
"After all these years, you haven't changed." Yang Lao Er gritted his teeth, placing his index finger on the shotgun trigger. "Brother, you forced me to do this..."
Old Yang grew increasingly furious. "You want to kill me to silence me? Do you think the country will let you off the hook if I die?!"
Yang Lao Er laughed, "There's no other way, it's all for the child. After killing you and the person next to you who knows the truth, I will turn myself in and take responsibility. It doesn't matter if I'm executed, at least you won't leak my son's secrets, and he can continue to live a normal life."
Old Yang and Ning Jinli were both stunned.
Who would have thought that Yang Lao Er would go to such lengths to protect his son?
But this kind of fatherly love is hard to praise.
This explains why Yang Zhengxing became so lawless and reckless.
It's all because of Yang Lao Er's excessive pampering and indulgence that they've become like this.
"Yang Zhengxing!" Old Yang glared at his nephew. "If you're still a man, take responsibility yourself. Don't make your father risk his life to protect you!"
Yang Shao's pupils trembled, his face full of conflict.
Yang Lao Er said, "Son, you are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. Everything I have worked hard for is now in your hands. Don't let your father down. You must live well! If anyone comes to investigate my murder, don't let it slip, lest you get implicated."
Yang Shao composed himself, took two steps back, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will."
Yang Lao Er glanced at his son, then resolutely pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A loud bang!
The shotgun muzzle emitted a burst of smoke accompanied by flashes of light.
Several bodyguards nearby instinctively lowered their heads and covered their ears.
The immense recoil caused Yang Lao Er to stagger backward and almost fall.
Young Master Yang quickly helped him up.
Yang Lao Er said, "I should have aimed correctly just now. Go check the body. If the woman is still alive, I'll fire another shot."
He aimed his shot at Old Yang's chest, only a few meters away. With the power and range of that shotgun, Old Yang was certain to die, and even the woman next to him would either be killed or injured.
Yang Shao fanned away the smoke that drifted in front of him, looked at the grass a few meters away, and suddenly froze, "Dad... people... people are gone!"
Old Yang rubbed his arm, which ached from the recoil, and asked in bewilderment, "This gun is so powerful? It blasted a person to pieces?"
"No!" Young Master Yang pointed to the spot where Old Yang and Ning Jinli had been standing. "Look, they're gone! There's nothing there!"
Old Yang's eyes widened in shock as he discovered that all that remained was a patch of grass torn up by a bullet. "This... how is this possible?! Quick, search!"
Young Master Yang and several bodyguards immediately rushed over.
But there was neither blood nor a single person in sight.
Everyone was stunned.
Old Yang exclaimed incredulously, "Is this some kind of ghost story? Two perfectly healthy people just vanished into thin air?!"
"Impossible! How could such a thing happen? Those two must have escaped while we weren't looking, using some method, like... like they jumped into the bushes and slipped away immediately!" Young Master Yang quickly analyzed the situation, then ordered his bodyguards, "Quickly gather the men. Even if we have to turn this whole forest upside down, we can't let those two get away!"
"Yes, young master!"
...
Meanwhile, Ning Jinli and Lao Yang had already returned to the factory.
She was still somewhat shaken by what had just happened.
Fortunately, she was careful.
Taking advantage of the few minutes that Yang Lao Er and Lao Yang were arguing, they successfully opened a portal to another dimension and connected the portal to the factory.
Then, just before Yang Lao Er fired his gun, he managed to get Lao Yang through the time tunnel.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Old Yang, are you alright?" Ning Jinli asked, still feeling a bit shaken.
Old Yang's face was very pale, not because he was frightened, but because he never expected that his own brother would so readily kill him.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little sad..." Old Yang rubbed his chest, his body swaying slightly.
Ning Jinli supported him, "I'll take you to the hospital to treat your injuries first."
Old Yang waved his hand, "These are just superficial injuries, nothing serious. I need to make a call right away and send someone to arrest that father and son. We can't let them get away."
He calmed himself down a bit, then picked up his phone and made a call.
Less than half an hour later.
His entourage arrived and told him that more than 500 special police officers, armed with guns, had been deployed to carry out the arrest operation.
Then they also advised him to go to the hospital to treat his injuries.
Old Yang shook his head, pulled up a chair and sat down, calmly saying, "I'll go to the hospital once we've caught the person."
With no other option, Ning Jinli grabbed a first-aid kit and used the tools inside to temporarily clean Lao Yang's wounds.
Meanwhile, the accompanying personnel quickly put pressure on the arrest team, demanding that they take swift action at all costs.
——
On Young Master Yang's side.
He called over a hundred people to search the woods.
However, after searching for almost an hour, we still haven't found anything.
Yang Lao Er even obtained surveillance footage of nearby roads centered around this grove of trees.
However, apart from seeing Lao Yang arrive in that Mercedes-Benz G-Class at the beginning, there was no trace of him leaving from this side.
"Your uncle and that woman must still be in this forest." Yang Lao Er smoked his cigarette, his eyes dark as he watched the people searching back and forth in the distance.
Yang Shao scratched his head and paced back and forth. "But we've already searched this forest three times. It's not some primeval jungle. There are no caves, rivers, or lakes. Where could those two be hiding? They couldn't possibly have dug a hole and hidden underground, could they?"
Yang Lao Er looked up and asked, "Is it possible... he climbed up the tree?"
Yang Shao sighed, “Every single tree, every one that can be climbed, my men have checked it all, and there’s nothing there, Dad… I really think we’ve encountered a supernatural event.”
Yang Lao Er took a deep drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. "You mean, they really just vanished into thin air?"
“Yes, otherwise there is no other possibility.” Young Master Yang said with certainty, “We have searched everywhere we can, and there are surveillance cameras at all the places in and out of this area. The surveillance cameras did not capture them leaving. No matter how unbelievable it is, there is only this one explanation.”
Yang Lao Er had seen many strange things in his life, but this situation was unprecedented.
He thought about it carefully and said, "Where will I go after I disappear here?"
Yang Shao didn't know how to answer this question either.
Just as the father and son were at their wits' end, the roar of propellers suddenly came from the sky. Judging from the noise, there were at least four or five helicopters.
Yang Shao casually remarked, "Dad, you even called in a helicopter to assist with the search? Isn't that a bit too conspicuous?"
Yang Lao Er was somewhat taken aback.
He thought his son had called them.
The roaring sound rapidly approached.
Soon after, six armed helicopters arrived over the forest and quickly descended to a position almost touching the treetops.
Immediately afterwards, the rope was thrown down.
One after another, fully armed special police officers filed down the stairs.
Yang Lao Er and Yang Shao had never seen anything like this before, and they stood there dumbfounded.
The hundred or so men also stopped searching and looked up with wide eyes.
"What's going on...?"
"Is this a SWAT drill?"
"But if it's a drill, shouldn't the area be cleared beforehand? I haven't seen any notification about it."
"Isn't this a drill?"
"What else could it be but a drill? Are they really arresting people? What kind of person could make the police mobilize such a large force?"
"..."
Hearing his men's discussion, Yang Lao Er's expression suddenly changed. "This is bad! They're coming for us!"
Yang Shao watched with curiosity, and as the SWAT officers landed and quickly approached, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, that's cool!"
"Run!" Yang Lao Er grabbed his son's arm and ran as fast as he could.
Relying on their extensive knowledge of the terrain, the two took a hidden shortcut and fled out of the woods.
Old Yang was getting on in years, and after running for only a few minutes he could no longer move his legs. He leaned against a tree, panting heavily.
"Dad...why...why did you suddenly run away?" Young Master Yang asked, panting heavily. "That helicopter...the SWAT team...weren't they the ones you called for help?"
Yang Lao Er's face turned ashen. "Aren't you still under the influence of that drug? When did I become so powerful that I could summon the SWAT team? Do you really think you can be a local tyrant in Xinghan City just because you're called your uncle?!"
Young Master Yang was clearly still under the influence of the drug, and grinned with dazed eyes, saying, "Then...then why are we running? It can't be...they're here to catch us, can it? This is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito...hehe."
"Hands behind your head! Don't move!" A stern rebuke suddenly rang out.
The father and son were startled and turned around to see a group of armed special police officers appearing more than ten meters behind them.
"Run!" Yang Lao Er shoved his son, then charged towards the SWAT team.
Yang Shao froze for half a second, then, without thinking, scrambled and continued to flee out of the woods.
Yang Lao Er's actions were tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Several rapid gunshots rang out.
The bullets struck his legs precisely.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, but was quickly subdued by SWAT officers and handcuffed.
"Let me go...let me go!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Yang Lao Er struggled desperately, trying to look up at his son's retreating figure as he disappeared into the woods.
He wasn't hoping to actually break free, but rather he hoped to buy his son more time to escape.
Bang!
A muffled thud.
The SWAT officer smashed him on the head with the butt of his rifle, knocking him unconscious.
Yang Shao ran desperately out of the woods, thinking he had escaped the pursuit, but the moment he stepped out of the woods, he was pinned to the ground by the special police who had been surrounding him, and the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of his head.
...
Soon, Lao Yang received the report.
The special police task force successfully arrested Yang Lao Er and his son, and none of their nearly one hundred henchmen present escaped.
Old Yang breathed a sigh of relief, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and said, "Then I can rest assured." Then everything went black and he fainted.
He was already injured.
The injuries were far more serious than they appeared on the surface.
In addition, the two closest relatives he had left in the world dealt him a huge blow, and he simply couldn't take it anymore.
His entourage immediately took him to the hospital.
Ning Jinli finally had some free time to go to the city police station.
Several hours had passed since the antique shop reported the accident, and she still hadn't received a call from Master Wu.
Judging that the person was probably still at the police station giving a statement, and since the city police station had been taken over by the special investigation team arranged by Lao Yang, she decided to go and see for herself. If necessary, she could also provide testimony.
Inside the police station interrogation room.
Yang Lao Er and Yang Zheng Xing were being interrogated by the special task force.
Yang Lao Er remained silent in one interrogation room, while his son was shouting and yelling in the other interrogation room.
"Don't you know who I am?! You're interrogating me? Call your superior here!"
Yang Zhengxing remained arrogant because he felt that since his uncle was nowhere to be found, he might as well continue to use his uncle's name to cover up the truth rather than confess without being asked.
So what if it's a special task force? Can its rank be higher than my uncle's?
“Our boss is too busy to see you right now.” The interrogator’s eyes held a look of disbelief, as if he were looking at a fool.
This idiot still doesn't know that the person who's going to take him down is his own uncle.
Yang Shao raised his chin arrogantly and said, "What right do you have to arrest me? Who sent you?! Do you know that everyone in the station, from top to bottom, has to treat me with utmost respect?!"
The interrogator said calmly, "We will also conduct an investigation into this matter. You'd better honestly confess your own problems."
"What problem could I possibly have?" Young Master Yang sneered. "Tell me what I did, and show me the evidence. Don't tell me I can't even play with a shotgun; I have the relevant licenses."
The interrogator remained calm. "It's okay if you're stubborn. We have plenty of time to wear you down."
Young Master Yang scoffed, "Then let's just wait it out. I'm not short of time."
At this moment, Ning Jinli had arrived at the police station.
She explained her purpose to the head of the task force.
The other party immediately inquired about the previous incident at the antique shop, and the result surprised her.
"What? The case was closed a long time ago? The people have been released?!"
“Ms. Ning, we have discovered that the staff here have committed serious dereliction of duty. We will reopen the case regarding the antique shop.”
Ning Jinli asked for more details and learned that President Liu and Su Qiang's group were personally bailed out by Yang Zhengxing, and that they were even released earlier than Wu Sanye, the victim. She immediately had a bad feeling.
Given this situation, Third Master should have contacted her immediately after leaving the police station.
But there has been no movement so far.
This can only mean that Third Master has encountered an accident, and his chances of survival are slim!
