Chapter 542 Zhang Jianzhou Escaped
Besides Sister Jing and Fei Lichao, Hu Fei, Fang Yuan, Lu Yun, and Zhou Qingya also came.
At this moment, Zhou Qingya is outside chatting and laughing with Ye Cheng, presumably trying to attract Ye Cheng's attention and prevent him from noticing us.
Seeing the expressions on Jingjie's and the others' faces, I asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Sister Jing said, "Zhang Jianzhou ran away!"
I frowned, my heart skipped a beat, and I exclaimed in shock, "What did you say?!"
Fei Lichao said, "We weren't watching him closely at the time. Who knew that this bastard had a bomb? He blew up the infirmary on the third floor. While we were putting out the fire, this bastard took advantage of the chaos and ran away!"
I asked, "Did you chase after them?"
Hu Fei said, "I chased after him and even overturned his car, but the bastard still got away. We were afraid he would run back here, so after making arrangements with the rest of us, the rest of us came here to look for you."
My mind went blank for a moment.
"The little girl and the others have all left?"
Sister Jing said, "I sent Song Muyuan and the others to the safe house we found. They can stay there for the next few days. Anyway, they have everything they need and it's safe there."
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought Sister Jing had sent them to Jiajiang.
There's a spy planted in the central town of Jiajiang. If the little girl and her friends go there and run into this spy, they're doomed.
Hu Fei asked, "Zhang Jianzhou shouldn't be here yet, right?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Since he escaped, he will definitely try to come back here. He may not come back, but he will definitely try to notify the central town. Once our identities are exposed, we will be completely finished."
Jingjie asked, "Then what should we do?"
I calmed down and said, "Let's split up and search! First, we need to find out if Zhang Jianzhou is in the central town. If he's not, then we'll search outside. We absolutely have to find this guy."
After everyone agreed, they began searching for Zhang Jianzhou's whereabouts in the central town.
The town center isn't large, but it's crowded, making it a troublesome place to find things.
After I left the bar, I squeezed into the crowd, thinking it would take some time to find it, but when I turned around, I bumped into Zhou Liang at the entrance of the general store.
I went to his side, pulled him aside, and whispered in his ear, "There's something I need to tell you. Zhang Jianzhou has escaped from the research institute. I don't know where he is now. If you don't want your identity to be exposed, you should find him."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang looked at me with a slightly cold gaze and snorted, "He really is a piece of trash. Tell me, when did he escape?"
Around six in the morning.
Zhou Liang asked, "If it's around this time, they should have arrived by now. Since your men are here, but there's no reaction in the central town, it means Zhang Jianzhou might not have reached the central town yet, but he's definitely not far away. Here's what I'll do: I'll go back and check things out. If there's no news of him in the central town, I'll go find Zhang Lincai and ask him to send people out to look for Zhang Jianzhou. Oh, and by the way, remember to tell Zhang Jianzhou that the central town has been attacked and that he's in danger, understand?"
"knew."
I was stunned; Zhou Liang's reaction speed was too fast.
After he finished speaking, he ran straight to the building deep inside.
Afterwards, I went straight to the bar, where Zhang Lin had been staying the whole time.
I didn't wait long at the bar entrance, only about ten minutes, when Zhou Liang came back and said to me, "There's no news from the central town; Zhang Jianzhou hasn't returned yet."
I nodded, then turned and went into the bar. I saw Zhang Lincai happily mixing drinks behind the bar, and went straight over to him and said, "Zhang Lincai, something's happened."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lincai immediately asked, "What happened?"
I said, "My people told me that my research institute was attacked."
"An attack? How is it? What are the casualties?"
I said, "No one died, but Zhang Jianzhou disappeared after escaping. We don't know where he is. I guess he's definitely heading towards the central town now. Should we go out and look for him?"
Without hesitation, Zhang Lin put down his wine glass, untied his apron, and said, "Alright, you two wait for me outside. I'll go find someone to go over there now."
Zhang Lin left immediately after he finished speaking.
Zhou Liang and I immediately turned around and left the bar, heading towards the main entrance.
Before long, we squeezed through the crowd and got out the door.
Zhou Liang said, "You go with Zhang Lin to look for him. I'll follow along. If we find him, I'll shoot him dead in time. Do you understand?"
I was stunned for a moment, but there was no other way now. No matter what, I couldn't let Zhang Jianzhou and Zhang Lincai talk. Once Zhang Jianzhou told Zhang Lincai my identity, everything would be over.
Therefore, the only option is to kill Zhang Jianzhou.
"Understood," I said.
"Good, just make sure there's no trouble later." Zhou Liang said before heading to the parking lot.
Not long after, Zhang Lin arrived at the main entrance with three cars. After seeing me, he asked, "Where is Zhou Liang?"
I said, "He went back; he plans to do some investigation."
Zhang Lin didn't ask any more questions. I got into the car and hurriedly set off.
If Zhang Jianzhou is coming, he will only come via the road leading to the research institute; he won't take any other route.
He might take a longer route to avoid Jingjie and the others, but he will eventually come back to this road.
We must find him now, and once we find him, we must kill him.
I've always wanted to kill Zhang Jianzhou, but I always thought he was still useful, so I didn't do it. Now it seems there's really no other way; this guy has to die, otherwise, I might be the one who dies.
"You only have yourself to blame for running away. If you hadn't run, none of this would have happened." I sighed inwardly.
The car was not moving very fast.
I looked around but couldn't find Zhou Liang's car.
However, I believe Zhou Liang is definitely following around.
Zhang Lincai asked, "What happened to the attack on your research institute?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. My people just arrived and then they told me about this. I don't know what happened either."
Zhang Lincai asked, "Where are your men?"
"They're in the central town; I've arranged for them to rest."
Zhang Lincai nodded and said, "It must be Yao Chengjie's people. Only they would do something like this. Otherwise, I can't imagine who would launch a surprise attack on your research institute."
