mole
After being shot, Zaxi was taken to the hospital and doctors immediately performed surgery to remove the bullet.
After the phone call ended, Zaxi was wheeled into a ward to receive an IV drip; he was still under anesthesia.
Linna took care of Zaxi in the ward, while Lu Min went outside to smoke alone.
At this moment, he must be feeling very frustrated, Sang Qi thought.
The original plan was to go rescue people tonight, but unexpectedly, they failed to rescue anyone and Tashi was injured instead. This was all unexpected.
Hearing footsteps, Lu Min knew it was Sang Qi and waved, "Come here."
Sang Qi walked up to Lu Min, who said sullenly, "Keep me company."
“Okay,” Sang Qi nodded.
Sang Qi knew what Lu Min was worried about, so she quietly looked at Lu Min, and suddenly her heart softened. She took the initiative to hug him.
Lu Min hugged Sang Qi tightly, resting his chin on Sang Qi's shoulder, his head lowered. Sang Qi did not reject such an intimate embrace; instead, she gently stroked his broad back, offering him encouragement and comfort.
Lu Min held her like that for about ten minutes.
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I'm just doing what I can."
Lu Min smiled and reached for a cigarette from the pack, but Sang Qi stopped him: "Don't smoke anymore, you've smoked too much already."
Sang Qi pointed to the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, his gaze fixed indifferently on Lu Min.
Lu Min gave a faint smile and glanced at the cigarette pack: "This is the last one. I'm done after this."
"..."
Lu Min lit another cigarette.
After finishing his last cigarette, Lu Min stretched his arms and legs to relax.
"Are you feeling any better?" Sang Qi asked.
He smiled and said, "Much better."
“We still have a chance,” Sang Qi said firmly.
A hint of worry flashed in Lu Min's eyes: "I'm afraid that if we fail this time, and even anger Qian Kunpeng, Yin Ya will be in even worse shape."
Sang Qi gasped, a chill running down his spine as he thought about it: "That's true. He'll definitely target Silver Fang again as a warning to us. He won't kill Silver Fang, but he'll torture him relentlessly."
“This is what I’m worried about,” Lu Min said, his brow furrowed.
Sang Qi was also very distressed and had no way to deal with the situation.
Lu Min frowned, completely baffled: "The mysterious person sent us a message saying that Silver Fang was in Qianye Manor, and I also overheard Jin Hai and Yang Hao saying that Silver Fang was locked up in 704. How did it turn into a trap when Zaxi went to rescue him?"
He wondered if Jin Hai and Yang Hao had deliberately said it to lure them into a trap, but upon reflection, they hadn't been discovered before, so how could this have happened?
Could it be that Qian Kunpeng discovered it?
Hearing Lu Min's doubts, Sang Qi offered her guess: "Could it be that Qian Kunpeng discovered you were here, changed locations at the last minute, and set up an ambush?"
Sang Qi's guess was exactly what Lu Min was about to say.
"That's the only explanation for now." Lu Min pursed his lips.
Just then, Linna called to say that Zaxi had woken up, and Lu Min immediately rushed to the ward.
Sang Qi was going to go to the ward with Lu Min, but when she thought about how everyone had been busy all night and must be exhausted and hungry, she decided to go and buy some food for everyone to replenish their energy.
Most shops are closed at this time, except for 24-hour convenience stores that are still open.
Sang Qi went to a convenience store near the hospital to buy some milk, bread, rice balls, and the like. Just as he was about to pay, he saw a large group of men in black coming from outside.
It looks like it must be one of Qian Kunpeng's men.
Sang Qi wasn't surprised at all; Qian Kunpeng knew that Zaxi would definitely go to the hospital after being injured. He had many men under his command, and sending them to search through various hospitals in the city would surely yield results.
Now that Zaxi has just woken up, they have no chance of escaping if they try again. They can only ask for outside help now, Sang Qi thought.
After hurriedly paying, Sang Qi did not leave the convenience store, but instead hid inside to make a phone call.
"Hello?" The call was not only answered but also received a response.
Sang Qi felt incredibly fortunate. She had thought he wouldn't answer the phone while he was asleep, but it seemed she had been overthinking it.
"Hello, little sister, is that you?" came the voice on the other end of the phone.
Sang Qi quickly spoke up: "Fifth Brother, it's me, it's me."
Fifth Brother: "What's wrong? Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Fifth Brother, didn't you say you'd help me if I got into trouble in Yunnan? Right?"
"You ran into trouble so quickly?" the fifth brother asked jokingly.
Sang Qi chuckled awkwardly: "Yes, so..."
"Where are you? I'll send someone over."
Sang Qi smiled brightly, quickly gave the address, and asked Lao Wu to call more people over.
After hanging up the phone, Sang Qi secretly returned to Zaxi's ward in the hospital building.
When Lu Min saw Sang Qi return, he asked her, "Where did you go so late at night?"
Sang Qi closed the ward door tightly and locked it from the inside: "Qian Kunpeng's men are here."
"What?" Lu Min and Lin Na were both surprised.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Lu Min said through gritted teeth.
Sang Qi chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, someone will protect us."
Lu Min was taken aback: "Who?"
"Fifth Brother!" Sang Qi raised his face.
Lin Na asked in surprise, "Fifth Brother?"
As they were talking, Lao Wu's men arrived at the hospital. Following Sang Qi's directions, several groups of men stood guard outside the ward, preventing anyone from getting close.
Seeing the people guarding outside the ward, Sang Qi felt relieved and said, "See? I told you someone would protect us."
Lu Min chuckled: "How did you convince Fifth Brother to send someone?"
Sang Qi pouted: "What do you mean by 'persuasion'? It's just a matter of one phone call?"
"Oh?" Lu Min didn't believe it.
"Hmph... Fine, don't believe me then." Sang Qi ignored Lu Min.
Lin Na just smiled and said, "Fifth Brother is a man of honor and keeps his promises. He will do what he promises. I guess he and Sang Qi hit it off immediately and he thinks highly of Sang Qi, which is why he came to help us."
“Sister Na is right,” Sang Qi said.
"Look at you, so capable." Lu Min sneered.
"..."
...
Chiba Villa, rooftop terrace.
"Brother Kun, Brother Hai is here," his subordinate announced.
“Okay, you go ahead and get busy,” Qian Kunpeng waved his hand.
After his men left, Jin Hai and Yang Hao followed closely behind.
"Brother Kun, what do you need me for?" Jin Hai asked as soon as he came up.
Qian Kunpeng turned around, his eyes dark: "Lu Min escaped again in the battle at the manor. Isn't that infuriating?"
Jin Hai knew that Qian Kunpeng's intention was not this, so he smiled and said, "Lu Min is not easy to deal with."
Qian Kunpeng sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a cigar: "Only those of us inside the manor knew about Silver Tooth being imprisoned. How could Lu Min have known and infiltrated to kidnap him? So, there's a mole..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Hai immediately understood: "You mean, I'm the mole?"
Qian Kunpeng's eyes flashed, and he said leisurely, "It's not impossible."
Jin Hai sneered: "Since you doubt me, then there's no need for us to cooperate."
After saying that, Jin Hai turned to leave.
"Wait," Qian Kunpeng called out to Jin Hai.
Jin Hai turned back.
"I have something to say to you." Qian Kunpeng's gaze was menacing.
Jin Hai raised an eyebrow, intrigued: "Go on, tell me."
Qian Kunpeng glanced at Yang Hao but remained silent.
Jin Hai understood and said to Yang Hao, "Go outside and wait for me."
"Okay," Yang Hao replied and went out.
Only Qian Kunpeng and Jin Hai remained on the terrace.
"Go ahead and say what you want to say." Jin Hai leaned back lazily on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
Qian Kunpeng smiled and said, "I believe you are not the mole."
"Oh? Why does Brother Kun believe me again?"
"Because it's not good for you. Don't you want the storage device too?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Jin Hai said frankly.
"Since we all share the same goal, there's no need to doubt each other."
"so……"
"That's why I need you to act in a play." Qian Kunpeng's tone was gloomy, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Jin Hai's eyes: "A play?"
“That’s right,” Qian Kunpeng said with a smile, “a grand fishing spectacle.”
"I would like to hear the details."
Qian Kunpeng said seriously, "We'll announce later that we're going out of town on business, and then we'll instruct our subordinates to keep a close eye on the silver tooth being held at the Tang Club."
Jin Hai pondered, "In that case, if we're not around, the mole will take this opportunity to rescue them?"
"That's right, Tang Club is a trap. If the mole tries to rescue people himself, he will only fall into the trap."
"What if the mole sends a message to Lu Min to come and rescue them?"
Qian Kunpeng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I've secretly implanted a high-tech chip for information collection into the phones of my subordinates. I can see all the calls they make and the messages they send. If I see that someone has notified Lu Min, I can use the chip ID to locate whose phone sent it. That way, the mole will be exposed."
After listening to Qian Kunpeng's plan, Jin Hai clicked his tongue twice and said, "That's really something!"
"This is the only way to catch the mole. If the mole sends a message to Lu Min to come to Tang Club to rescue people, and Lu Min actually comes, then we can catch both the mole and Lu Min, killing two birds with one stone." Qian Kunpeng laughed shrewdly.
Jin Hai snorted: "Interesting. Well then, I might as well play along with this fishing show."
"Then we'll wait and see."
"By the way, since Tang Club is a trap, where is Silver Tooth Pass?" Jin Hai suddenly asked.
"You want to know?" Qian Kunpeng asked in return.
“Yes, I want to go see him,” Jin Hai said.
"Look at him?"
"After all, we used to be brothers."
“Okay, he’s at the Yonghe Hotel. If you want to see him, I’ll go with you,” Qian Kunpeng said casually.
"Don't you trust me?"
"No, it's just that I feel we're in the same boat now, and we should act together when things happen."
"..."
...
Three days later, at a hospital in Kunming.
Zaxi has been receiving treatment at the hospital for the past few days and has almost fully recovered.
Inside the hospital, Lao Wu's men were on guard, taking turns to stand watch. As a result, the men sent by Qian Kunpeng had not been able to find an opportunity to come in and arrest people. They could only keep watch inside and outside the hospital and its surroundings, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Lu Min has been observing for several days. It's not a good idea for both sides to stay at the hospital like this. Now that Zaxi has recovered almost completely, they need to find a way to leave the hospital and get away from them.
Zaxi gritted his teeth and said, "If all else fails, let's just charge out. We'll have Fifth Brother's men to cover for us if anything happens."
“No,” Linna said. “This is a hospital. If a fight breaks out here, it will have a huge impact and could hurt innocent people.”
“Yes, we can’t do it in the hospital; we have to sneak out unnoticed,” Lu Min said.
Zaxi sighed, "Qian Kunpeng's men are now lying in ambush at every exit of the hospital's corridors, making it difficult to leave."
This is the most troublesome thing.
At this moment, Sang Qi rested his chin on his hand, leaning against the windowsill and gazing at the gloomy sky, feeling utterly bored.
An ambulance with sirens blared pulled up downstairs, and a nurse hurriedly pushed the patient out of the vehicle and into the emergency room, racing against death.
Sang Qi's gaze was gradually drawn to the ambulance downstairs, when suddenly a thought struck her: "An ambulance?"
"Huh?" Lu Min looked at Sang Qi. "What ambulance?"
"Why don't we repeat our old trick?" Sang Qi pondered.
Lu Min reacted the fastest: "Disguised as medical staff?"
“Right.” Sang Qi snapped his fingers. “We’ll call 120, give them our address, and when the hospital sends an ambulance, we’ll pretend to be medical staff and get in.”
Lu Min nodded and looked at Lin Na and Zaxi: "What do you think?"
“It’s feasible.” Neither Linna nor Zaxi had any objections.
Once the decision was made, Sang Qi immediately instructed the guards at the gate to obtain four sets of medical staff uniforms.
After receiving the clothes, they hurriedly changed into them. Once they put on the clothes and masks, they all looked quite presentable.
They chose to act at night or in the early morning.
In the early hours of the morning, most of the people who have been holding out are drowsy, lack energy, and cannot concentrate. This is when they have a better chance of succeeding if they disguise themselves and go out.
The plan went very smoothly. Lu Min and Sang Qi pushed the hospital bed into the ambulance, while Zaxi and Lin Na brought up the rear. Seeing that no one noticed, they then got into the ambulance as well.
Once the ambulance doors closed, the vehicle drove out of the hospital, and the four successfully escaped.
Inside the ambulance, Lu Min took off his mask: "We're going back to the hotel now to pack our things and find another place to stay, it'll be safer that way."
Linna smiled and said, "I've already booked a new hotel."
As they were talking, Lu Min's phone suddenly beeped; he had received a text message.
It's yet another completely new and unfamiliar number.
The message read: "If you want to save someone, go to Tang Club."
This unfamiliar number is not the same one that previously notified Lu Min to go to Qianye Mountain Villa to rescue people.
"Damn, someone else has notified me to go rescue someone." Lu Min chuckled.
Linna and Zaxi both turned their attention to Lu Min.
"Is it that mysterious person from last time?" Zaxi asked.
"I'm not sure, the number is different. I don't know if they cautiously changed the number again," Lu Min said.
"Shall we go to Tang Club?" Lin Na asked Lu Min.
Lu Min hesitated for a moment: "I want to go and take a look..."
"You can't go!" The speaker was Sang Qi, her voice as cold as ice.
Everyone then turned their attention to Sang Qi.
"Why?" Lu Min asked, puzzled.
Linna and Zaxi also looked surprised and puzzled.
Sang Qi looked at them calmly and said, "Silver Tooth isn't at Tang Club; he owns Yonghe Hotel."
“Yonghe Hotel?” Lu Min was slightly taken aback. “How did you know?”
"Because I just received a notification to rescue me too." As she spoke, Sang Qi handed her phone to Lu Min.
Lu Min clicked to read it.
An unfamiliar number displayed the message: "Tangjia is a trap. I'm in room 901 of the Yonghe Hotel. I'm someone who helps you at the Honghai Casino."
Sang Qi said, "The person who sent the message claims to be the one who saved us at the Red Sea Casino, and I think his message is probably true."
Lu Min frowned as he pondered.
“Don’t go to Tang Club. If you’re going to take a risk, take the risk of Yonghe Hotel,” Sang Qi said.
Her intuition told her that the person was at the Yonghe Hotel.
Linna pursed her lips and said, "I'll listen to Sang Qi; it's a woman's intuition."
Zaxi and Lu Min exchanged a glance and nodded.
At that moment, the ambulance drove straight along the highway, weaving through the darkness, its headlights piercing the thick, deep night.
