Chapter 98: Caught in the act】

Huo Qingchi didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Seeing Ye Qingyue's worried face, he explained: "It's not me, one of my men was injured."

"Mr. Huo, this way."

At this time, someone called Huo Qingchi.

"I'm leaving first."

Huo Qingchi didn't chat with Ye Qingyue and left in a hurry.

Ye Qingyue looked at his back, thinking.

"Was it done by Yu Kang and his gang?"

Huo Qingchi mentioned to her that he would take action against Yu Kang and his men recently.

The injury of his men might be related to this matter.

The situation on Huo Qingchi's side is probably not as easy as expected.

But now, Ye Qingyue can't get too close to Huo Qingchi in public.

If she is also targeted, it will only bring trouble to Huo Qingchi.

Ye Qingyue had to pretend that nothing happened and left the hospital.

That night, Ren Hongjun approached her quietly.

"Doctor Ye, your provocation worked."

Ren Hongjun said, "The village chief went to the county and pretended to be strolling around. He carved a secret code on the wall on the street."

Ye Qingyue became alert, "Has anyone suspicious approached the secret code?"

"Unfortunately, there are so many people coming and going on that street, and we can't identify the suspect."

Ren Hongjun shook his head and said, "However, it is certain that the other party must have seen the secret code, because just now, the village chief took out the jade pendant and Buddha statue buried in the yard. I guess he is planning to trade in the near future. If we are not mistaken, it will most likely be tomorrow night."

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Qingyue asked, "Follow the village chief and surround him?"

Ren Hongjun nodded and said, "My colleagues have gone back to report the news."

Ye Qingyue thought for a moment and said, "I want to join in, too."

Ren Hongjun was surprised, "How can that be? Doctor Ye, you have helped us a lot. The final round of operations is also the most dangerous. How can we let you get involved?"

"The village chief is cunning. You don't know him well enough, so you may not be able to catch him. My joining can increase your success rate."

Zheng Xia has been operating in Xiangyang Village for many years. If he cannot be defeated once and for all, her family will be in danger.

Ye Qingyue can't put all her hopes on others.

Therefore, she must join this operation and catch Zheng Xia herself.

Seeing Ye Qingyue's firm attitude, Ren Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "I need to discuss this with the leader and give you a reply tomorrow."

Ye Qingyue said "hmm" and sent Ren Hongjun away.

The next day was the day of action.

Ren Hongjun also sent news that Lu Ai Dang agreed.

"Uncle Lu said that you take this matter so seriously that even if we refuse, you might go secretly. In this case, why not let you join."

Ren Hongjun said, "However, there is a condition. You are just an ordinary person. If something goes wrong in the closing operation, you cannot take the risk of arresting those guys. You must leave the scene as soon as possible. If you can't do it, we will not let you join."

"I know."

Ye Qingyue agreed straightforwardly.

Ren Hongjun always felt that he was perfunctorily treated, but he could not find fault with Ye Qingyue. After telling her the time of action, he left.

That night.

Ye Qingyue changed into dark clothes and prepared to leave home.

"Qingyue, are you really going?"

Ye Xianghong was still worried.

"Mom, I'm just going to take a look. I can only feel at ease if I confirm with my own eyes that Zheng Xia has been arrested. It's not like I'm fighting with that gang."

Ye Qingyue smiled, "You go to bed quickly. I'll be back when you wake up."

"How can I sleep?"

Ye Xianghong sighed, "I'll wait for you in the house."

"Mom..."

Ye Qingyue felt warm in his heart, hugged Ye Xianghong, left home, and sneaked into the night.

When he came to the vicinity of the village chief's house, Ye Qingyue found Ren Hongjun lurking around.

"What's the situation?" Ye Qingyue asked.

Ren Hongjun said, "The people haven't come out yet."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just when they suspected that the transaction day might not be today, there was finally movement in the village chief's house.

Two figures climbed over the wall from the back door one after another.

Ye Qingyue could tell from their figures that they were the village chief and his son. For

such an important transaction, the village chief probably didn't trust himself to go alone, lest he be robbed by the thieves.

"Let's go, follow them."

Ren Hongjun made a gesture, and they followed silently.

Following all the way, they crossed the fields and came to a forest.

"There is a river on the other side of the forest."

Ye Qingyue whispered to Ren Hongjun, "When we close the net later, these people may jump into the river to escape."

Ren Hongjun nodded and passed the news to other colleagues. Everyone dispersed and chose the best encirclement circle.

...

"Mr. Huo, something is wrong."

In the reeds by the river, the short man whispered to Huo Qingchi: "There is another group of people nearby, could they be Yu Kang's accomplices?"

"No."

Huo Qingchi had actually discovered one, "The actions of these people are like the military, and their purpose is probably the same as ours."

The short man's expression changed slightly: "Then let's retreat?"

What they are doing now is not glorious, if they run into the military, they will probably get into trouble. Anyway,

they have already obtained the evidence that Yu Kang is looking for someone to trade with the dealer, so there is no rush.

"Yeah."

Huo Qingchi nodded, he is cautious and will not take risks.

It's just...

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Huo Qingchi vaguely saw a familiar figure flashing in the woods.

Because the night was too dark, the figure was like a ghost, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Huo Qingchi hoped that it was his own illusion, but what if it wasn't?

"You go."

Huo Qingchi decided to stay.

The short man was surprised: "Mr. Huo, it's not safe for you to stay here alone."

Huo Qingchi waved his hands, and the meaning was very clear.

The short man had no choice but to leave quietly with the others.

...

Ye Qingyue lurked in the darkness, pushed aside the grass and looked at the open space in front, and saw the village chief and his son wearing black hats, covering their faces with black cloth, and wrapped tightly.

Zheng Ming was holding a box in his arms, which must contain jade pendants and Buddha statues.

"Dad, why haven't they come yet?"

Zheng Ming complained, "It's so hot."

The village chief motioned him to be quiet, then put his hand to his mouth and made a sound similar to that of an owl.

Soon, two people walked out of the bushes on the other side.

One was of medium build, and the other was a little fat.

However, their faces were covered, so their appearance could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was that they were two men.

"Didn't you tell me not to contact you recently?"

The man of medium build stepped forward. "That guy from the Lu Ai Party must be coming for you. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"

"Haven't you been fighting with a young boy recently?"

The village chief curled his lips. "Let's not laugh at each other. Let's finish the job and leave."

"What on earth is it that requires me to come all the way here?"

The man of medium build didn't waste any words and asked the village chief to show him the thing. "If it's inferior, don't blame me for ignoring our past friendship."

"Inferior?"

The village chief sneered. "Don't stare at it later."

As he said that, he asked Zheng Ming to open the box, revealing a crystal jade pendant and an exquisite golden Buddha statue.

At this moment -

"Don't move! Police!"

Several people jumped out of the woods, holding guns in their hands, pointing at the four people in the open space.

"You are now arrested for the crime of reselling cultural relics and the crime of betraying the country!"
