"This is utter nonsense!" Zhang Changnian slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Ye Weiwei and Zhang Juncheng exchanged a glance and then fell silent.
The fire has been burning too much; too much of a good thing can be bad.
"I understand your reactions. I'll have someone keep an eye on those two. You can go back now."
Hearing her uncle say that, Ye Weiwei quickly pulled her older cousin away.
After the two drove away, Zhang Changnian realized that they had changed cars again.
Zhang Changnian knew perfectly well what kind of people were in his eldest son's circle, and where this car came from.
I'll definitely have to give that brat a good talking to when I get home tonight!
Zhang Juncheng was still happy that the old man hadn't made things difficult for him because of the car, but he forgot the saying "settling scores later."
Perhaps he simply didn't want to remember, especially when touching his beloved car, he couldn't help but deceive himself and try to postpone it for as long as possible.
Although Ye Weiwei reported Yao Jingjing's matter to her uncle, she secretly kept an eye on their every move.
Yao Jingjing is a woman who can't keep up a good word. Given her hatred for me, she will definitely try every means to retaliate against me, ruin my plans, and annoy me. Therefore, I must not let that woman succeed.
It was a dark and windy night.
A group of people quietly sneaked into the commercial street that Ye Weiwei had bought during the day, and after looking around to make sure no one was there, they went straight to one of the shops in the middle.
After skillfully unlocking the door and going inside, the leader directed the men behind him to move a large vat in the shop, revealing the entrance to a tunnel below.
Several people took out flashlights and shone them at the opening below. After waiting for a while, one person stayed up to keep watch while the others went into the tunnel.
Unbeknownst to them, shortly after they entered the tunnel, the man who stayed up to keep watch collapsed silently.
Then, a cloud of smoke silently spread through the tunnel. By the time the people inside realized something was wrong, it was too late. They fell to the ground one by one like rolling gourds.
"Commander, something's happened!"
A young soldier ran down to take a look and then hurriedly came back up to report, his expression extremely solemn.
Zhang Changnian walked down with a cold face, and after seeing the situation inside, he angrily said, "These beasts!"
He never imagined that the scene he saw in the tomb in Daqingshan would be repeated in Haishi.
If he wasn't 100% certain at first that his niece's claims involved people from the US, now that he's seen this lab, he's absolutely certain.
This heartless beast is incredibly audacious, actually conducting these kinds of human experiments on their own people right under their noses.
Moreover, this underground laboratory not only contained trafficked people, but also a lot of antiques and cultural relics, which shows that they were conducting human experiments while also engaging in smuggling and even selling intelligence!
Having brought everyone in the basement under control and dismantled such a large enemy spy hideout, Zhang Changnian felt no joy at the impending glory; the sight of those bloodied limbs filled him with rage.
Ye Weiwei was surprised that such a deadly hideout was hidden under the shops. She had only bought the place with Qian Jin yesterday and hadn't had time to check it carefully. But even if she had known about this beforehand, the result would still be the same.
Yao Jingjing was dragged out of bed and taken away in the middle of the night. She tried to struggle and make a scene, but the people who came to arrest her didn't give her a chance to talk and knocked her unconscious.
Clearly, she has no way to escape punishment this time.
Moreover, not only her, but also Yao Qingchuan and his parents will not escape punishment this time.
This is no small matter. Zhang Changnian reported it overnight, and even the top leaders in Beijing were alarmed and angrily declared: Anyone involved in this matter must be severely punished!
Ye Weiwei was also asked to cooperate with the investigation and stayed in Haishi for a few more days.
However, since she was the first to notice that Yao Jingjing was acting strangely and reported it to the military region, she only had to go through the procedures, give a statement, and be questioned.
Especially after the South China Military Region learned that the sleeping gas they used last night without bloodshed was based on a formula she had donated free of charge, the military leaders who spoke with her were very enthusiastic and expressed their admiration for her.
When Zhang Changnian picked up his niece to eat at the cafeteria, he always had a smile on his face. Whenever someone asked, he would loudly introduce her as his niece, his own daughter!
He couldn't wait to let everyone know how capable and outstanding his niece was.
Qian Jin also suffered an undeserved misfortune.
There was nothing they could do; that street originally belonged to Old Qian's family.
Fortunately, Qian Jin had been sent to a remote area a few years ago and had not been in Haishi, so this matter was not his fault at all. Moreover, he was so frightened when he heard that there was an underground laboratory under the shop that he almost fainted.
He had no idea that there was such a deadly thing under the shop.
Now, he is incredibly grateful to Ye Weiwei for buying those shops; it was like she saved his life.
So when he saw Ye Weiwei at the military region, he was so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"No wonder those two siblings targeted those two shops as soon as they arrived yesterday; it turns out they already knew there was something fishy going on behind those shops!"
Ye Weiwei: ……
That was an absolutely brilliant finishing blow!
Sure enough, the junior colleague next to him who was in charge of taking the statement immediately perked up upon hearing this and asked Qian Jin to explain in detail what had happened.
At this moment, Qian Jin hated the Yao siblings so much that he naturally wouldn't cover for them or say anything good. He recounted how the Yao siblings had tried to force him to buy and sell the two shops the day before. The young comrade taking the statement looked at him with an expression of "I see," as if he had finally understood.
Ye Weiwei: ……
very good!
Qian Jin is a smooth talker; the more he talks, the more he talks.
After Qian Jin left the military region with the two young soldiers, it was a foregone conclusion that the Yao family was involved, so an arrest warrant was quickly issued.
Yao's parents have been arrested and are under custody. Of the four members of the Yao family, only Yao Qingchuan has been apprehended.
Yao Qingchuan, being a former special forces soldier, possessed keen awareness and counter-surveillance skills. Upon realizing something was amiss, he immediately fled.
They changed their appearance along the way to avoid several searches, until they disappeared into the mountains.
After working overtime for three days and three nights, Zhang Changnian finally got the Yao family to reveal the truth.
It turns out that Yao Jingjing was the matchmaker for this whole affair. Her fiancé was a high-ranking American spy in China. The reason he pretended to be refined, weak, and tragically born to marry into the Yao family was just to cover up his true intentions.
Yao Qingchuan was able to start a business after the policy was relaxed thanks to his brother-in-law.
