Chapter 31 Frequent Situations
Gu Yifeng, the general commander of the General Administration, was urged to mobilize the police force from Tieguan Island by Li Qihan in the middle of the night. He was skeptical: "What evidence can support this?"
Li Qihan said in a deep voice, "This is information provided by an informant of mine. To protect the informant's privacy, I cannot reveal the details yet."
"Commander Gu, Professor Ren Wenxuan is a leader in the chip field. We can't afford to make even the slightest mistake!"
"Even if the robbery hadn't occurred, it would have been reasonable to send police to escort Professor Ren home safely."
Gu Yifeng fell silent upon hearing this, as if hesitating.
Li Qihan raised his wrist to glance at the metal dial on his hand, then said firmly:
"If anything goes wrong, I, Li Qihan, am willing to take full responsibility."
"Comrade Li, since you're taking such a huge risk to ask me to transfer people, I have no reason not to agree."
Gu Yifeng finally gave in.
"I will notify the Iron Crown Island Police Station now and send someone to pick up Professor Ren."
Li Qihan added, "My informant knows Professor Ren Wenxuan's real-time location. Please notify the Tieguan Island Police Station to protect my informant!"
"I'll send the informant's contact information now. Please cooperate with her and believe what she says."
Gu Yifeng was very surprised to hear what Li Qihan said. He had watched this kid grow up, and this brat was cold and distant to everyone. He kept to himself and had no action partner.
This was the first time he saw Li Qihan trust someone so much and make such an impulsive and risky promise.
Could it be that Li Qihan has finally found a partner he can trust?
Gu Yifeng became curious about this "informant" who could gain Li Qihan's trust.
Since the matter concerned a leading figure in the chip field, Gu Yifeng agreed and immediately called the chief of the Tieguandao Police Station, asking them to protect Professor Ren Wenxuan and the informant Xia Lili.
It stands to reason that a person like Ren Wenxuan should be accompanied by bodyguards, but Professor Ren does not like having anyone around him, and he believes that Tieguan Island is his hometown and the islanders of Tieguan Island are his "family", so there will be no problem in going home.
Everything on Tieguan Island, from schools to manhole covers, has been funded by Ren Wenxuan.
This is a great and philanthropic professor.
When he was young, the islanders chipped in pennies to pay for his tuition to go to university in the capital. When he returned home in glory, he did his best to make everyone on the island live a good life.
As they got closer to Tieguan Island, the driver couldn't help but talk to Xia Lili about Ren Wenxuan, the "spokesperson" of this island.
"This Iron Crown Island is truly a deserted island where a golden phoenix flew out!"
"Before, most of the people on the island were low-income fishermen. They worked from dawn to dusk to catch fish but could not earn much money in a year."
The driver spoke with envy: "Now that Tieguan Island is developing, the islanders have found good jobs and are receiving subsidies. Professor Ren is also helping to attract investment. The islanders' wallets are getting fatter, and their lives are getting better."
Xia Lili became more silent.
She remembered that the news report in her hallucination mentioned that the parents of the three gangsters had more or less received favors from Ren Wenxuan.
The medical expenses of the bedridden mother of the gangster who stabbed someone were also paid for by Professor Ren’s public welfare fund.
Professor Ren believes in this kind island and treats everyone well, but those three little thugs don't want to treat him well.
The most frightening thing is the rebellious teenagers who act recklessly and without regard for the consequences.
They have not yet established a complete legal awareness, but driven by youthful hormones, they use violence as a way to demonstrate their existence.
"Speaking of which, little girl, what exactly do you do for a living?"
The driver looked at Xia Lili in the rearview mirror.
Just now, the girl had been talking on the phone, speaking in a low voice and in a mysterious manner, which made him very suspicious.
But this little girl doesn't look like a criminal.
"Sorry, Master, it's not convenient to tell you. Just catch up with the car in front."
Xia Lili pretended to be mysterious and said, "I want to ensure the safety of the people in the car ahead."
"Oh oh oh, okay, I won't ask anymore!" The driver showed an expression that said "I understand".
He enthusiastically explained the situation to Xia Lili: "We are on the bridge to the island and will be there soon."
Xia Lili held the phone in her hand, her palms sweaty.
At this time, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number in the same city, so Xia Lili quickly answered it.
"Hello, informant. I'm Han Rui, the station chief of the Iron Crown Island Police Station."
"Where are you now?"
——"We're already on the bridge!"
Xia Lili hurriedly asked, "Stationmaster Han, have you found those three thugs?"
Han Rui, speaking from the other side, said solemnly, "Because Tieguan Island has recently been designated a development zone, there's construction and renovation going on everywhere. The population is mixed, and the surveillance equipment and streetlights aren't yet fully developed. We... haven't found the three children you mentioned yet."
When they investigated, they found out that some contractors responsible for maintaining Iron Crown Island neglected their duties and cut costs. The surveillance cameras on Iron Crown Island were just for decoration. In order to save electricity and reduce maintenance costs, only a few street lights were turned on. There was no way to trace the three thugs.
Now we realize that even if we hold someone accountable, it will be of no avail as the situation is urgent.
Han Rui's voice was a little nervous: "Professor Ren's phone is turned off, and we can't contact him."
He said solemnly: "So, you are our only clue now."
Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat.
Han Rui urged, "We'll send police officers to look for you right now. You must find a way to hold Professor Ren back!"
He hoped that the information from this informant was false, but this was Li Qihan's informant!
Xia Lili had just hung up the phone when she heard the driver say, "Little girl, the car in front of you is slowing down and looks like it's about to stop. Should we keep a safe distance from it so it doesn't notice us, or should we park next to it?"
Xia Lili wiped the cold sweat from her face.
She said, "Stop next to him. If he stops, we'll stop too."
No matter what, let’s hold the person back first!
Wait for the police to arrive and escort Professor Ren home.
Five minutes later, the taxi carrying Professor Ren stopped.
Professor Ren's taxi driver said to Professor Ren, "Sir, the road ahead is in bad condition due to construction, so we have to walk."
"It's okay, just walk back by yourself, it's not far."
"It's been a long time since I've had a quiet walk home."
Professor Ren didn't know that the situation on Tieguan Island had changed dramatically during the two months he was on a business trip.
Just as Ren Wenxuan was about to open the car door, the driver stopped him: "By the way, there's a taxi following us. Are they bad guys? Why don't you stay in the car?"
Ren Wenxuan looked back and saw that there was indeed a taxi parked right behind them.
He hugged the briefcase tightly in his arms.
