"You actually dared to call the police?! Wait... are you an informant for law enforcement?"
Old Dog's face instantly darkened. His already terrifying appearance became even more ferocious, making him look like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.
Is this a setup?!
A scheme targeting him?
Old Dog isn't stupid.
In an instant, Xia Che's every move, all those illogical aspects, became reasonable.
Why did Xia Che suddenly appear and steal his thunder? Why did Xia Che go to the meeting alone because he had kidnapped Feng Yang? Why was there no one named Xia Che in the circle before this?
All of these things are connected.
When the old dog was inquiring about Xia Che, he had his doubts. After all, he had never heard of Xia Che before. There weren't many swindlers, since not everyone could make a living from it.
Many people don't have the guts, nor the brains.
After inquiring for so long, Old Dog still couldn't find any information about Xia Che. He thought Xia Che was a rising star, but...
They were actually from the police station?
This is a trap!
They're just waiting for me to crawl in!
"Ah... I guess so, if that's how you want to understand it."
Xia Che smiled slightly and gave Feng Yang an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I had to lie to your family in order to catch him. As a hunter, he only gets anxious when his prey is taken by his peers."
“I haven’t touched a single penny of your money, and I will return it to you in full. However, I cannot make up for the psychological damage caused to you. The incident happened so suddenly... I had no choice but to make this decision.”
Xia Che let out a deep breath. That was the situation at the time. If he didn't take action, and the old dog did, then everything would be beyond repair.
The reason for devising this plan was to help the Feng family avoid this calamity today.
But no matter what, it was she who deceived the Feng family first.
This is something that cannot be covered up no matter what excuse you make.
"Mmm..."
Feng Yang's jaw nearly dislocated as he stared dumbfounded at the reversal before him. He struggled to move his bound body, trying to say something.
This reversal came so suddenly that even Feng Yang didn't expect that Xia Che was actually a good person.
No wonder he remained so open and honest even when confronting himself...
So Xia Che never intended to hurt their family from the very beginning?
Thinking about this, Feng Yang felt a mix of emotions. Should he thank Xia Che?
After all, without him, given their desperate situation at the time, the old dog would have succeeded.
Even with all the savings of 800,000, it's definitely impossible to get it back.
But if I thank him...
Thank a scammer?
Thank you to a conman who swindled them out of their entire savings?
Feng Yang felt something was off.
"Okay...okay, okay! I was wondering what a coincidence it was, a few little devils suddenly appeared and picked the peaches I've been following for so many years...I knew it! How could it be such a coincidence!"
Old Dog remained silent for a while, trying to process the unexpected turn of events. Even though he was a cunning liar, he was still bewildered by this series of reversals.
Having finally recovered, the old dog reacted quickly, his eyes flashing as he headed straight for Feng Yang, who was tied to the chair.
The abandoned factory is now surrounded by law enforcement officers. Money is no longer the most important thing to Old Dog; no amount of money is as important as his life.
Old Dog knew how serious the crimes he had committed were. With multiple offenses and punishments, it was uncertain whether he would ever see the light of day again.
We absolutely cannot get caught!
With this thought in mind, no matter how fast the old dog was, his outstretched hand had already touched the rope binding Feng Yang. Just as he was about to exert force and pull Feng Yang over...
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
Xia Che roared.
With the final stage of the project in sight, if Lao Gou were to capture Feng Yang at this crucial juncture, it would be an uncontrollable variable.
Each additional layer of uncertainty could potentially cause substantial harm to Feng Yang.
This is not what Xia Che wants to see.
It will take law enforcement a few more minutes to rush in and subdue the old dog.
But those few minutes were enough for the old dog to kidnap Feng Yang!
Fortunately, he had a backup plan...
bass--
A pool of autumn water suddenly appeared in the arena, between Lao Gou and Feng Yang. Lao Gou, who had been making a desperate gamble and was ready to fight to the death, stood there blankly. Even with the strong inertia, he bit his lip tightly and endured the discomfort in his body, but dared not take another step forward.
Because that pool of autumn water was none other than...
Instead, it was a sharp blade that gleamed with a cold light!
"Gurgle..."
Old Dog nervously swallowed, feeling his throat was extremely dry.
For the first time, he sensed the threat of death.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and managed to stop the car, that throwing knife would probably be stuck in his throat by now...
Who is it?!
Law enforcement officers wouldn't use such cold weapons; firearms are far more effective than throwing knives.
Are there other threats besides law enforcement officers present?
"Let me give you a piece of advice: her case is much more serious than yours. At least you haven't killed anyone, but that one... well, killing one is one thing, but taking your life wouldn't be difficult either. If I were you, I'd rather be taken away by law enforcement than go through with her."
Xia Che crossed his arms, finally feeling completely relieved.
Only because of his own backup plan...
It's Wen Chenlu.
Although Wen Chenlu's identity is special, she can only hide in the shadows and cannot show herself, otherwise she will be in danger if she is seen by law enforcement.
Even so, that's enough.
Although Lao Gou is a vicious fraudster, he has no blood on his hands, and judging from his movements, he doesn't seem to be a master. Wen Chenlu only needs to hide in the shadows and throw a few flying knives to easily take his life.
"Luckily I had a backup plan... otherwise, the situation today would have been really hard to say."
Xia Che appeared calm on the surface, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
That was really close.
If it weren't for Wen Chenlu, and if Lao Gou had successfully taken Feng Yang hostage, the outcome today would have been very uncertain.
This would likely introduce many more variables.
Fortunately, I had thought one step ahead and brought Wen Chenlu along, which eliminated all the variables.
With her around, the old dog can no longer cause a ripple.
Wen Chenlu is Xia Che's source of confidence!
"Don't move, Jiang City Police Station!"
Just then, Xiao Yihan led the law enforcement officers in. They moved quickly and had a clear objective, quickly surrounding the old dog.
At this point, the victory is assured!
