Chapter 99: Escape You are so good, why did you get caught? ...
The last time Shi Can and Chen Junhao met was in Yebei City.
Chen Junhao, who was attempting to flee the country overnight, was caught by Shi Chan's carefulness and failed. When Shi Chan went to "visit" Chen Junhao at the Yebei City National Security Bureau, where he was being held, he was so enraged that he gave him a severe beating.
Chen Junhao has not forgotten the humiliation until now. He wants to take revenge on Shi Can and get back his lost dignity.
He really wanted to see Shi Chan show panic and fear.
However, Shi Can didn't panic at all. He even crossed his legs and asked leisurely:
"Aren't you afraid that I'll catch you again?"
Chen Junhao sneered:
"Do you think I'll give you this chance?"
Shi Can understood and said, "You want to kill me here?"
Chen Junhao remained silent.
"Last time, you simply thought I was a descendant of the Tiancheng Toki family, so you immediately bought a plane ticket and prepared to run away. Why aren't you afraid this time? Have you become braver?"
Shi Can had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and sarcastic. He looked down on Chen Junhao. Even though he was in a dangerous situation created by the other party, he still wanted to show his contempt for Chen Junhao.
"If I were murdered, the Shi and Cui families would definitely find a way to uncover the truth and find you. Even if you were dead, they would dig up your remains..."
Before Shi Can could finish his words, he was punched in the face, causing his head to tilt slightly.
"Do you think your family background is omnipotent?"
After Chen Junhao threw a punch, the excitement of revenge and venting his anger made him laugh. He said to Shi Can,
"You're a bit too confident about your family background. Don't you understand the saying 'there's always someone better than you'?"
Shi Can turned back and looked at Chen Junhao with feigned anger. Red finger marks gradually appeared on his fair cheeks, and there was a hint of rust in his mouth, as if the gums under his cheek, where he had been hit, were bleeding.
Seeing Shi Can's angry and powerless look, Chen Junhao felt even more proud and said:
"Besides, even the most powerful aristocratic family can only reach so far. There are so many hidden, chaotic, and inaccessible places in this world. If I take some cash and hide in any of those places, who would be able to find me?"
Shi Can said angrily: "You..."
At this time, Ni Hongjing, who was lying on the ground, moved. He opened his eyes and raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to get up, but his head hurt so much after being hit by the stick that he immediately lay back on his back, closed his eyes tightly, and showed a look of pain.
Shi Chan sighed and asked:
"I can understand you wanting to retaliate against me. But why did you attack Ni Hongjing? He's not a spiritual master, and he has no grudge against you. It can't be that his father has offended you, right?"
"This is still your fault."
Chen Junhao sneered and said,
"I have no grudge against him, but I'm short of money... I'm a fugitive, my bank card is frozen, and I have to use someone else's SIM card, so I can only live in cash. Once I smuggle myself out, I'll need more money. This time, my employer not only gives me money, but also sends me away. How can I miss this opportunity?"
Shi Can looked up at him and asked:
"Have you said too much?"
Perhaps because he disliked Shi Can, Chen Junhao had a rebellious mentality and was unwilling to listen to Shi Can's reminders. Shi Can felt that he talked too much, so he kept talking.
Chen Junhao said, "It's okay to talk more with a dying person. You're going to take these things to the grave anyway."
"Then I'll ask bluntly."
Shi Can closed his eyes and opened them again, putting away all the smiles in his eyes. He frowned and struggled with his wrists tied to the back of the chair, his words filled with anger.
"Who is your employer? What exactly do you want? Why are you targeting an unborn child?"
Chen Junhao showed a sympathetic expression and said:
"He's a poor man who has money, a career, ambitions, and people he wants to love, but he has no lifespan."
Chen Junhao took out his cell phone, checked the time, and said:
"I have to go help. Goodbye, young master."
After saying that, Chen Junhao turned around and walked out.
Shi Can sat there, thinking carefully about Chen Junhao's words.
At that moment, the lights in the room went out. There were no windows in this area, and once the lights went out, the room was completely pitch black.
After a while, the sound of water was heard. Just by the sound, it could be judged that the water source was very close, and the water flow was very strong and fast.
"Mr. Ni, Mr. Ni..."
Shi Chan sat in the darkness and shouted,
"Are you awake?"
"Being awake, it's just very uncomfortable..."
Ni Hongjing said with pain in his voice,
"Are they planning to drown us?"
"I observed it just now when I didn't turn off the lights. There's a gap at the bottom of the door, and it's not narrow. Water will flow out. It might be difficult for it to drown us. There must be another way."
Shi Can's voice finally took on a hint of anxiety.
"Mr. Ni, I don't care how uncomfortable you are. Get up now. We have to find a way to escape. The later it is, the greater the chance of us both losing our lives."
Shi Can is very worried about Lin Zhuyue.
He didn't know whether Chen Junhao hated Lin Zhuyue. If he did, wouldn't Chen Junhao kill Lin Zhuyue when he met her next time?
And Du Liyun, and the child in her belly...
"I also want to escape..."
Ni Hongjing felt somewhat desperate.
"I'm tied up, you're tied up too, and we don't have any sharp weapons. What are we supposed to do?"
The other side.
In the townhouse.
Du Liyun has gone to the room upstairs to rest.
Lin Zhuyue sat in the living room, holding her phone, anxiously awaiting news. Whether it was the National Security Bureau or the Spiritual Master's Mansion, no matter which side, Lin Zhuyue prayed for them to give her some information about Shi Can and Ni Hongjing soon.
She hadn't slept all night, but the fear caused the secretion of adrenaline, which made her very alert and not sleepy at all.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Zhuyue dropped the pillow in her arms and stood up to open the door. It was the police knocking, accompanied by two elderly people.
Both of them looked somewhat similar to Du Liyun. They were carrying two baskets, one filled with green-shelled eggs and the other with other agricultural products. They saw the police guarding the door, and the stranger Lin Zhuyue opened the door with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong? Little girl, who are you? Is there something wrong here?"
"Ms. Lin, these two are Miss Du's parents. They came here to deliver some agricultural products to Miss Du. They don't know what happened yet."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Are they really your parents?"
The police nodded and said, "I checked the ID card. The address on the ID card matches Miss Du Liyun's."
Lin Zhuyue then softened his attitude and said:
"I'm a friend of Mr. Ni. Miss Du is resting upstairs. Uncle and aunt, please go up and check on her. As for what exactly happened... you can ask Miss Du."
Lin Zhuyue moved aside to make way for the two elderly people to come in. They changed their shoes as if they were familiar with the place, put the produce they had brought in the kitchen, and went upstairs to look for Du Liyun.
Lin Zhuyue wanted to follow and see, but at this time, she received a call from the logistics center of the Spiritual Master's Mansion.
"Student Lin Zhuyue, thanks to the efforts of the National Security Bureau, students Shi Can and Ni Hongjing have been rescued. They suffered some injuries and were taken to the nearest hospital. Their captors have also been arrested."
The person on the other end of the phone said,
"You can leave now and go find Shican. The mission is now interrupted. Others will follow up. Thank you for your hard work."
There was another knock on the door.
Lin Zhuyue opened the door.
It was still the police who knocked on the door. They said:
"Ms. Lin, we received a message from the National Security Bureau saying that the situation is now safe and we don't need to follow up. We are planning to go back to the police station. Would you like to come with us? Your car was driven to our yard by a colleague, and you need to go and get it."
Lin Zhuyue thanked him: "Oh, okay, thank you."
Lin Zhuyue did not leave immediately, but went upstairs to tell Du Liyun's parents that he was leaving.
Du Liyun was sitting on the bed when she was woken up by her parents who came to visit her.
Lin Zhuyue briefly explained the situation.
Du Liyun picked up her cell phone and called Ni Hongjing, but the call did not go through and a prompt tone came back saying "The user you are calling is turned off."
Du Liyun asked, "Are you seriously injured? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
"Did you lose your phone?"
Lin Zhuyue guessed,
"Shi Can didn't answer the phone either. So, Miss Du, I'll go to the hospital to check. No matter how Mr. Du is doing, I'll call you to explain the situation, okay?"
"Hey, can you bring one more person?"
Du Liyun's mother nudged the old man with her elbow and said,
"Lao Du, you go take a look. After all, he's already in the hospital. No matter how serious his injuries are, he needs someone to help run around."
Mr. Du looked at Lin Zhuyue and asked:
"Little girl, can you take me with you?"
Lin Zhuyue said, "My words don't count. I'll ask the police."
Lin Zhuyue took Du Lao downstairs and asked the police what they thought. The police said they could take Du Lao back to the police station and then let him take Lin Zhuyue's car to the hospital.
After agreeing, Lin Zhuyue and Mr. Du left the villa and got into the police car with the policemen.
On the way from the townhouse to the entrance of the community, Lin Zhuyue saw Mr. Yan in a wheelchair who appeared last night when she and Shi Can were walking the dog.
In addition to the young man who had traveled with Mr. Yan the previous night, a dozen or so people dressed as doctors in white coats and masks stood before him. They carried silver-white boxes and even pushed several cloth-covered carts. Besides the doctors, there were several other strong men in casual clothes, whose occupations were unknown.
Du Lao sighed: "What a pity..."
Lin Zhuyue turned his head to look at Mr. Du and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I lived here for a while and often saw him circling the neighborhood in a wheelchair. Neighbors also told me about him."
Mr. Du said to Lin Zhuyue,
"He had leukemia, and it relapsed within two years after a bone marrow transplant. He's been relying on chemotherapy and medication for the past few years to stay alive. The doctors you see are probably from his family's private hospital, treating his various health issues. I heard he pays them very well."
"He not only consulted a doctor, but also a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that no matter how much money he offered, it would be useless. He had committed too many sins in his youth in order to make a fortune. This disease was his retribution and he couldn't escape it."
Shi Can and Ni Hongjing were still locked in the small dark room.
Shi Can asked, "Who said there are no sharp weapons?"
He pressed his heel hard on the ground, and with a "swish" sound, a thin blade popped out from behind his heel.
"Oh, you really don't understand me."
Shi Can said in a leisurely tone,
"If my partner kidnapped me, she wouldn't just tie my hands and feet. She would also have to strip off all my clothes and shoes, leaving me nothing but my underwear."
Shi Can concentrated for a moment, closing his eyes and then opening them again. Although he could not see the scene in the darkness, he could see the "fate" that was wrapped around him and around Ni Hongjing. With these twisted and complex "fates", Shi Can was able to basically determine Ni Hongjing's location.
He stood up, took the chair in a twisted posture, approached Ni Hongjing, and said:
"I'll help you cut the rope, and then you can help me."
Shi Can's knife was very sharp, and he quickly cut one of the ropes on Ni Hongjing's hand, and the rope loosened instantly. Ni Hongjing endured the pain, broke free from the rope, fumbled to take off Shi Can's shoes, walked around behind Shi Can, and cut the rope that bound Shi Can.
The moment the rope was loosened, Shi Can summoned the Absolute Blade, and the blade emitted a faint blue-purple light, slightly illuminating the room.
He walked to the door and squatted down. The gap at the bottom of the door was gradually being submerged by water, and an eight-square-meter electric wire was sticking out of the gap.
"...The lights went out just now, not because they turned off the lights, but because they pulled the power switch. When there's more water, they'll turn on the power switch and electrocute us both."
As Shi Can spoke, he raised his hand and thrust the blade of the demon sword into the keyhole, then kicked it hard with his foot.
“Bang!”
The door panel flew out directly.
There was light in the corridor, but fortunately it wasn't too glaring. Shi Can, who had just come out of a small dark room, was able to adapt to it perfectly.
At the end of the corridor sat four strong men, the same four who had held Shi Can hostage last night. There was a door next to them with a sign that read "Power Supply Room." The door was not locked, but slightly ajar. They could flip the switch at any time to energize the wire that had just been extended into the room.
When the four strong men saw Shi Can coming out, they all stood up and clenched their fists until they made a crackling sound.
Shi Can showed no fear. He stared at the four strong men without blinking, like a hawk chasing its prey. A moment later, he held the sword in his right hand and ran down the corridor, stepping on the water that had spread out in the corridor, rushing straight towards the four men.
There were four strong men, each one was stronger and more powerful than Shi Chan.
Ni Hongjing turned his head and closed his eyes, somewhat afraid to look.
Ni Hongjing heard screams one after another. He felt that these sounds did not seem like Shi Can's. He opened his eyes and found that the four strong men were all lying on the ground.
Shi Can was squatting next to a burly man, groping for a while before he retrieved his phone. Shi Can expressionlessly dialed the emergency number and calmly told the 120 operator to act quickly because someone's hand had been cut in two by a sharp weapon.
Ni Hongjing asked: "Aren't you going to call the police?"
"If we call the police, we will be taken to the police station and interrogated for a long time, but the most important thing we should do now is to reunite with Lin Zhuyue and your wife."
Shi Can dialed Lin Zhuyue's number, hurriedly found the way downstairs, and said,
"Don't worry, the law is strict, we can't escape. When the ambulance arrives and sees them like this, they'll call the police, and they'll come looking for us sooner or later. I'll tell the police I was the one who chopped the guy down, and you have nothing to do with it."
“…”
Ni Hongjing followed Shican and asked,
"You are so powerful, why were you caught?"
"If I don't get caught, will I be able to find you?"
Shi Can rushed down in two steps and said,
"And there's an unexpected bonus. You heard it, right? That bastard just confessed a lot of information."
