“Jing Ting said he probably wouldn’t,” Qiao Wanwan said. “He’s in a losing position now, so he’s even less likely to touch Zaozao, because Zaozao is the only bargaining chip he has to keep me in check.”
“That’s true.” Zhan Yin nodded. “It’s just that this person is really cunning. He managed to escape such a good opportunity today.”
“This isn’t our territory, and we have limited manpower, so it’s normal that he escaped.” Qiao Wanwan took a bite of beef and said, “He lost so many men today, and we destroyed more than a dozen drones. We both suffered losses. Hopefully, we can have the upper hand in the next confrontation.”
"Um!"
"Actually, we were both too inexperienced. In a situation like today, I was probably only thinking about finding Zaozao and didn't think about the possibility of explosives in the junkyard." Qiao Wanwan said with lingering fear, "If Jingting hadn't noticed something was wrong and evacuated our people in time, there would definitely have been casualties today."
“That’s right. Come to think of it, the two of us are really no match for them. That’s why I insisted on coming along this time. I can learn a lot from my uncle.” Zhan Yin said excitedly, “I feel like I’ve grown a lot. Next time I lead the team, I definitely won’t make the same mistake as last time!”
“We’ve already raided two of his hideouts and killed quite a few people. He’ll definitely be more cautious. If there’s a next time, it’ll only be more dangerous,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Besides, he has heavy weaponry, which is no joke.”
“We have what he has too. I heard from Jiangdong that my uncle is already sending manpower and weapons here. If it really comes down to force, he can’t possibly be our match.”
“In terms of these things, we naturally have the upper hand, but since we’ve been in his hands for so long, we’ll only be able to do things with our hands tied.”
"That's true."
"I'm done eating." Qiao Wanwan finished the beer in the can. "It's still early, I'm going to video chat with my family."
"good."
......
Local police have increased their presence in the area. While it's unlikely they'll catch the perpetrator, it has at least made their movements in the city much more difficult.
Now it's a calm period after the storm, and Qiao Wanwan expected that the other party also needed to rest, so she devoted herself to the hospital's research on the virus.
Through her and her medical team's efforts, they developed a solution in just four days. People infected with the virus were able to recover and be discharged from the hospital quickly after taking the medication.
With one worry finally resolved, Qiao Wanwan felt much more at ease and went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.
When I woke up, I saw Zhan Jingting standing by the window making a phone call.
Qiao Wanwan waited for him to hang up the phone before calling out to him, "Jingting."
"Awake?" Zhan Jingting walked over with a smile, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch her forehead. "Did you sleep well?"
"She was probably just tired and slept very well."
"Mrs. Zhan, you've worked hard."
“Those people got infected because of us, so it’s only right that I help them.” Qiao Wanwan stretched. “They’re fully recovered now.”
"I've asked someone to prepare some food. Get up and go eat something."
"I'll go wash up first."
"good."
When Zhan Yin heard that Qiao Wanwan had woken up, he came over to freeload a meal.
"Wanwan, eat more. You've lost weight these past few days."
"It's not that exaggerated," Qiao Wanwan pouted. "But you have gained weight."
Zhan Yin looked worried. "I was anxious because he didn't come back early. When I'm anxious, I need to eat to calm my emotions, so I've gained weight."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
“Speaking of which, he hasn’t called me these past few days.” Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhan Jingting. “I’ve been thinking, it’s a waste of time for us to just wait like this. Shouldn’t we take the initiative and do something?”
“I’ve already taken action in secret.” Zhan Jingting said while serving her some food. “He’s been manufacturing and trafficking drugs for a long time, so it’s impossible for him to leave no trace. I’ve had people spread the word in their industry that I’m looking for this group of people. I’ll reward anyone who can provide clues, but if they can’t, I’ll work with the police to take them down.”
"Pfft..." Zhan Yin spat out his drink. "Cough cough cough... Uncle, you're ruthless. If you can't provide clues, you have to be dealt with. That way, even if they don't have any clues, they'll have to find some."
“They know very well what power money can bring, and they also know the consequences of offending me, so in order to avoid getting into trouble, they will try their best to investigate.”
Qiao Wanwan nodded, "This is indeed the best way. We are unfamiliar with this place and have few people. Using the strength of their companions to find clues is the fastest and most effective way."
"Can it really work?" Zhan Yin asked skeptically. "If we can't find any clues, Uncle, are you really going to deal with them?"
"I always keep my word."
“Exactly,” Qiao Wanwan agreed. “These people are drug dealers. There’s nothing to feel sorry for or pity about. Every drug production site we destroy is a contribution to the world. It’s just a pity that this isn’t within China’s borders, so we can’t reach too far. Otherwise, I would love to wipe them all out!”
......
Zhan Jingting's method worked quickly. Soon someone provided a clue and a location, saying that a Chinese girl similar to Cheng Zaozao had been seen here before!
"Uncle, we finally have a lead! Let's move quickly!" Zhan Yin was extremely anxious. "According to the person who provided the lead, Zaozao was trying to escape, but they caught her and brought her back. If that's true, Zaozao will be in great danger!"
Zhan Jingting leaned back in his executive chair and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Dong has already taken drones there and notified the police to go and investigate. We can't just rush in as soon as we get any news. What if it's a trap?"
“That makes sense.” Zhan Yin realized. “If it’s a trap, we’re doomed. It’s always good to be cautious. Besides, I don’t believe the person who provided the clue could recognize Zaozao at a glance!”
“I do believe that,” Qiao Wanwan said. “The notices searching for Zaozao have been posted all over the streets and alleys here, with high rewards. Passersby will inevitably pay attention, and if they are lucky enough to find him, they can get a huge sum of money.”
"That's true..."
News soon came from Jiangdong that the address was empty, but there were indeed signs of habitation, and it was clear that the people there had left in a hurry.
Qiao Wanwan took Zhan Jingting's phone and asked, "Is the danger over? If it is, I want to go and see."
"In reply to Madam, the examination has been thorough and there are no problems. You are welcome to come at any time."
"good."
The group quickly arrived at the scene, and just as Jiang Dong had said, there were still noodles half-cooked in the pot and chopped vegetables on the cutting board, indicating that they had indeed left in a hurry.
Qiao Wanwan looked around and quickly noticed something was wrong. "Jingting, come and take a look!"
