In the past few days, Zhang Damao seemed to have shown great interest. Although he did not dare to resist verbally, his actions became increasingly weak.
When chatting with Bai Huaqing, he no longer told him to get lost at the drop of a hat.
The two of them could even sit down and have a calm chat about everyday things.
Just when Bai Huaqing thought he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, Zhang Damao stopped acting.
Yes, he received Xiao Weiguo's notification that it was time to close the net. Three days had passed, and Jiao Bai and his men should have been prepared. Letting Yaji act now would be tantamount to sending them into a trap.
However, despite Xiao Weiguo's meticulous planning and accurate calculations of Bai Huaqing's actions, he lacked understanding of Yaji's ruthlessness.
After all, even if he was a reincarnated person, he had spent his entire life doing legitimate business in mainland China, and her understanding of the underworld in Hong Kong and Taiwan was limited to what she had seen in movies.
He thought he only had Yaji to deal with, but he didn't expect that Yaji's reverence for the mainland would exceed his imagination.
As expected, after receiving Xiao Weiguo's notification, Zhang Damao turned against Bai Huaqing.
No wonder he became a great director; his acting skills are simply superb.
He had Bai Huaqing completely under his control, and Bai Huaqing was completely unaware of anything unusual.
It wasn't until Zhang Damao turned on him and pointed his finger at him, calling him an idiot, that he realized Zhang Damao had no intention of letting him leave in the past few days.
However, Bai Huaqing, who was already thoroughly enraged, didn't consider why Zhang Damao did this. He directly paged Yaji three times, issuing the order to act.
Zhang Damao, after today, I'll make you regret it. When you get to the port city, you'll have no choice but to work hard for our family. Want a high salary? Want fame? Dream on. Everything you have will be taken away from you. Just you wait.
Having been tricked for many days, Bai Huaqing now hates not only Xiao Weiguo but also Zhang Damao to the bone, and is only thinking about how to torture Zhang Damao after returning to Hong Kong.
After finally receiving the order to take action, Yaji led sixteen thugs into the deep mountains in three separate groups before nightfall that afternoon.
The main reason for doing this was to avoid arousing suspicion. A group of more than ten people going into the mountains would easily raise questions.
What they are about to do is something that cannot be seen by anyone, and they cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
The first group of five people arrived at Zhang Damao's small mountain village before dark.
These five people did not include Yaji. Their main task was to find out the truth about Zhang Damao's family and figure out the situation so that the people who came later could take action.
These five men had been working for Mr. Jiang for some time, all had shady pasts, and were extremely loyal to him.
Although they are not very old, they have all done many shady things for Mr. Jiang. In terms of experience, there is absolutely no problem.
Their original plan was quite good: find the village, send someone in to find out Zhang Damao's home, and when the main force and Yaji arrived at night, they would all rush in, kidnap Zhang Damao and his family, and then, following the retreat route arranged by Mr. Jiang, sneak back to the port city overnight. That would be the end of their mission.
Things started off smoothly; there was only one road, and they quickly found the mountain village Yaji had described. The others concealed themselves and sent one person into the village to inquire.
To their surprise, these villagers had never left the mountains before, and their accented Mandarin was completely incomprehensible to the villagers.
Moreover, the villagers spoke a dialect they couldn't understand at all; it was like chickens and ducks talking, with neither side knowing what the other was saying.
Finally, the lowly henchman who was sent out had a brilliant idea.
Although we don't speak the same language, we all use the Chinese script, so surely the scripts are interchangeable?
So he grabbed a villager and wrote on the ground with a twig.
"Excuse me, do you know where Director Zhang Damao lives? I'm his colleague, and I need to go to his house."
Now, something even funnier was about to happen. Few people in the village could read, and several people were pulled aside, all staring at the words on the ground with wide eyes.
Looking into the clear yet bewildered eyes of the villagers, the young man felt utterly helpless.
Finally, a quick-witted woman suddenly remembered.
Doesn't the village chief know how to read? Take him to the village chief's house and let him see what he wrote. That way, we'll know what he wrote.
So, the group of people he had stopped, surrounding this strange guy who spoke gibberish and couldn't speak human language, went to the village chief Wei Changqing's house.
They believed that the all-powerful village chief would be able to solve this problem.
Right now, in the main room of Wei Changqing's house.
Hu Haidong and Wei Changqing were sitting together, idly drinking tea. The other four plainclothes police officers were chatting amongst themselves in the warm, heated room.
Old Zhang wasn't there; he must have already returned to his home. The four strong and brave brothers gathered in the eldest brother Wei Gang's room to play cards and pass the time.
With her belly bulging, Wei Yulan is learning to knit sweaters under her mother's guidance.
She couldn't handle being a plaintiff. But ever since she met Da Mao, she'd devoted all her attention to him.
Although Zhang Damao never returned after leaving, she never complained and instead diligently learned the ways of a well-bred lady from her mother at home.
She felt that her impulsive personality from before was no longer suitable for Brother Mao, who was now a famous director.
