Chapter 484: Chapter 483: Qian Guanshu Caught (Second Update)
Qian Guanshu arrived at the harbor.
At this moment, a large ship was already docked at the port and was being loaded with goods.
“Mr. Qian, the ship will depart in half an hour,” Qian Guanshu’s subordinate reminded him.
Qian Guanshu looked out the window.
He picked up the phone and dialed, “Are you sure there are no suspicious people around?”
“Confirmed.”
Qian Guanshu was very meticulous in his actions, he would not allow any element of uncertainty.
He asked, “Haven’t you found Ji Baijian yet?”
“No.”
“Give it another ten minutes!”
“Yes.”
Qian Guanshu still did not get off the car.
If it wasn’t absolutely urgent, he would ensure his safety at all costs.
Five minutes later.
A call came from the other end, “We found him.”
Qian Guanshu furrowed his brows, “Where is he?”
“He has returned.”
“He’s gone back?” Qian Guanshu was surprised. “Did he give up?”
“Probably due to lack of clues, hence he gave up.”
“Ji Baijian is not the type to give up easily.”
“But I am quite sure there are no suspicious people around us. We have had people around your location since early this morning and no one else was detected. As soon as the ship docked, we cleared all the personnel on board and did a second round of clearance just now – there was neither extra nor missing personnel. Meanwhile, We Cheng was brought here, Ye Wenhan came over to your destination, and no one has been tracking them,” the man on the phone reported.
“Alright, I got it.”
Qian Guanshu hung up the phone.
Though he didn’t believe Ji Baijian would give up that easily, from every aspect, everything seems normal. Perhaps Ji Baijian, being as intelligent as he is, knew that he won’t find his whereabouts tonight, and didn’t want to waste time.
Qian Guanshu remained seated in the car, unfazed.
Qian Guanshu’s subordinate reminded him, “Mr. Qian, there are 10 minutes left.”
“Hmm,” Qian Guanshu responded lightly before saying slowly, “Get out of the car.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate quickly got out of the car to open the door for Qian Guanshu, then followed behind him.
Qian Guanshu walked towards a corner of the harbor.
Currently, Wei Cheng and Yin Ying were handcuffed, and several people were waiting there for Qian Guanshu.
Upon seeing Qian Guanshu, Wei Cheng was immediately agitated, “What exactly do you want to do? What is Ye Wenhan asking you to do? Don’t give me any tricks, I warn you, if you dare to harm me, I will drag Ye Wenhan down with me!”
In Wei Cheng’s mind, Qian Guanshu was Ye Wenhan’s lackey.
Stupidly, he didn’t know, the real danger was the man standing in front of him.
Qian Guanshu sneered, “Don’t rush, haven’t I told you? Tonight, I will make sure you leave, send you on this ship, and let you hide abroad for some time. Once things calm down here, you can figure out a way to return.”
“If that’s the case, the ship is about to leave, why won’t you let me go!” Wei Cheng was at his limit.
“Relax, until I give the word, the ship will not go.”
Wei Cheng glared at him.
“Give me the stuff.” Qian Guanshu demanded sharply.
“What stuff?” Wei Cheng feigned ignorance.
“Don’t miss the boarding time, otherwise, I have no choice but to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks.”
“Qian Guanshu!”
“I’m giving you ten seconds.” Qian Guanshu’s face turned cold, “ten, nine, eight…”
Wei Cheng just stared at Qian Guanshu.
Yin Ying also seemed on the edge of collapse this evening.
Upon arriving at the harbor, as soon as she got out of the car, someone forcefully covered her mouth and threatened her. She was already terrified, and she couldn’t take it any longer. “Wei Cheng, just give him the stuff!”
Wei Cheng clenched his teeth.
Yin Ying continued, “As long as he lets you leave, give him the stuff. Stop dragging this out with him!”
Wei Cheng spoke forcefully, “Are you sure you want to let me go!”
“Otherwise, what do you think I brought you here for? Do you think I’m playing games?” Qian Guanshu scoffed, “Do you really think we have time to spare!”
“Fine.” Wei Cheng wasn’t keen on prolonging, “But you have to ensure this, let me return once the coast is clear.”
“Don’t worry. You are still of use.”
Wei Cheng hesitated for a second, then took out his phone, “It’s in my phone.”
Qian Guanshu watched him.
Wei Cheng fiddled around with his phone, opening a hidden encrypted file. There was a video in it, showing Ye Wenhan in conversation with him, planning to kidnap Ji Baixin in order to obtain shares in the Milky Way.
Qian Guanshu looked grave.
Did he expect too much from Ye Wenhan?
Could he have been filmed doing all this? How foolish!
How many more messes will he have to clean for Ye Wenhan in this lifetime!
He concealed his emotions, showing no sign of his desperate desire for the item.
Wei Cheng stated, “I’m going to delete it now.”
“No need, give me the phone.” Qian Guanshu extended his hand.
Wei Cheng looked at him.
“Give it to me!” Wei Cheng handed his phone over to Qian Guanshu.
Qian Guanshu took it and handed it over to one of his men nearby, “Find out the original location of this file and who else it was sent to.”
“Yes,” the man immediately responded.
With that, he turned and left, heading to the car next to them, connecting to a dedicated computer device, and started a software restoration on the phone.
At this moment, a man next to Qian Guanshu leaned over and whispered, “The ship is about to depart.”
Wei Cheng overheard this and grew anxious, “Qian Guanshu, let me leave!”
“As I’ve said, without my order, the ship won’t depart.”
Wei Cheng endured and endured again, constantly looking at the big ship.
What felt like an eternity passed in ten minutes.
The man who left came back with Wei Cheng’s phone, “The file originated from the memory card of a micro-camera and was transferred to the phone through the IP at Wei Cheng’s home. It was only sent to Yin Ying via a chat app.”
“Give me your phone.” Qian Guanshu directed at Yin Ying.
Without any hesitation, Yin Ying immediately handed over her phone.
All she wanted now was to see her son leave as early as possible, and then get herself away from this horribly creepy place.
The man took Yin Ying’s phone and left for a while.
Later, he said, “It wasn’t sent to anyone else.”
“Okay.” Qian Guanshu spoke, “Have someone go to Wei Cheng’s house and retrieve the micro-camera memory card.”
“I have already deleted it from there,” Weng Cheng said.
“No proof, no belief.” Qian Guanshu simply didn’t trust him.
Weng Cheng was anxious as he watched the boat, while Qian Guanshu was cool as a cucumber.
A moment later.
Qian Guanshu took the phone from his subordinate, saying after hearing a few words, “Tell your housekeeper to open the door and where the memory card is.”
Reluctantly, Weng Cheng took the phone and complied.
A few minutes passed again.
Qian Guanshu’s subordinate respectfully handed him the phone, “Mr. Qian, we’ve found it.”
“Good.” Qian Guanshu put down his cell phone.
He said, “You can go now.”
Weng Cheng looked at Qian Guanshu.
He felt uneasy.
“Don’t feel like leaving?” Qian Guanshu asked.
“Are you really letting me go?”
“I always keep my word,” Qian Guanshu said in a deep voice.
Weng Cheng glanced at Qian Guanshu a few times, then turned to his mother, “Mom, wait for me. After I get settled, I’ll contact you. Remember to prepare some money for me.”
“Don’t worry.” Yin Ying said, “You go and lay low for a while. I know what to do for you.”
“Then I’m leaving, take care of yourself.”
“Ok.” Yin Ying nodded.
“Mom, when I come back next time, I’ll kill Yin Qin.”
“We’ll talk when you come back.”
“Then I’m really leaving.”
“Take care of yourself too.”
The mother and son performed a touching farewell scene.
Qian Guanshu just watched, unmoved and without rushing them.
Anyway, the two of them would soon be reunited underground.
Weng Cheng reluctantly looked at his mother one last time, then followed one of Qian Guanshu’s men and boarded the boat.
Yin Ying just watched.
She watched as her son was led away.
“Miss Yin, let me give you a ride,” Qian Guanshu suddenly said.
“No need, I have my own car.” Yin Ying refused outright.
Qian Guanshu sneered, “I meant, send you to hell.”
Yin Ying’s face changed instantly.
She stared at Qian Guanshu, terrified beyond measure.
“Throw her into the sea,” Qian Guanshu ordered.
As he spoke, several men immediately seized Yin Ying.
“Let me go, let me go! Qian Guanshu, you’ll pay for this, you’ll pay for this… ” Yin Ying was silenced by a hand over her mouth.
Yin Ying glared fiercely at Qian Guanshu.
Qian Guanshu said, “Falling into the sea while helping her son escape is a very plausible cause of death.”
Yin Ying struggled frantically, her eyes bloodshot and unable to make any noise.
“And your son, encountering a storm during his escape, would naturally lead to his unfortunate death.”
“Mmmmm…” Yin Ying looked horrified and ferocious, her eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at Qian Guanshu.
He was actually going to kill them.
He was actually going to kill them!
Qian Guanshu seemed unaffected by Yin Ying’s reaction.
He turned to leave.
At that moment, he saw Weng Cheng being led back.
And his directed subordinate was also seized, unable to move.
Qian Guanshu’s face changed instantly.
He recognized the man leading the group that had brought Weng Cheng back: Wu Zhengxiao, the highest commander of the official Jin City maritime team, wearing a white uniform, armed, and someone he had met at a few important events held by the official family.
How could he be here?!
Wu Zhengxiao seemed to have caught Qian Guanshu’s confusion. He said, “We received a tip off that there would be smuggling tonight, so we’ve been patrolling. This man tried to leave, claiming you arranged it. I didn’t believe it until I saw you. It’s a surprise.”
Qian Guanshu’s face turned grim.
But he remained calm, “Why would I arrange for this man to leave?”
“That’s not for me to decide. I’m responsible for maintaining order in these waters and preventing any illegal activities.”
“You’re really on top of things.” Qian Guanshu even laughed, “So diligent on a petty smuggling case. When did the government of the Yanshang Country start being so down-to-earth?”
“Always has been, Mr. Qian just wasn’t aware.” Wu Zhengxiao said, “It’s late. Let’s go back to the station together for an investigation.”
Qian Guanshu was distant, “Are you sure you want to bring me back?!”
“You’ve been caught red-handed helping somebody to smuggle. Isn’t that a reasonable excuse?”
“I’m just making sure you’ve thought this through.”
“I’ve always been fair and impartial in handling affairs.”
Qian Guanshu stared at him coldly.
“This way, please,” Wu Zhengxiao indicated.
Qian Guanshu strode ahead.
Wu Zhengxiao commanded his subordinates, “Take these two back.”
“Yes sir.”
Wu Zhengxiao personally escorted Qian Guanshu, personally handing him over to the Jin City Police.
Meanwhile,
Ji Baijian received a call from Jun Mingyu, “We’ve got Qian Guanshu, he’s being taken to the police station now.”
“Good.”
“Ji Baijian, I’m very curious, how did you calculate Qian Guanshu’s move? How could you guess he would help someone smuggle, and most importantly, know that Wu Zhengxiao is my man, who otherwise could catch him?!” Jun Mingyu was truly impressed.
He is now in cooperation with Ji Baijian, but he has not shared many secrets with Ji Baijian, naturally he still had some fear of Ji Baijian. But clearly, Ji Baijian knew even more than he did!
Was he truly making use of Ji Baijian, or was Ji Baijian actually using him?
Ji Baijian didn’t answer Jun Mingyu’s doubt, but hung up the phone directly.
Ever since he realized that he had no choice but to work with the official family, he had quietly investigated a lot, knowing everything, never losing.
As for tonight’s arrangement, after he saw through Qian Guanshu’s plot, he contacted Jun Mingyu and asked him to arrange for Wu Zhengxiao to apprehend Weng Cheng at the port, and arrest Qian Guanshu on the spot. No matter how powerful Qian Guanshu was, he never would have imagined that the official maritime team would be involved. All his guards were on land and wouldn’t think he would enlist maritime resources through Jun Mingyu within such short notice.
Heavens net is vast and wide, it leaves nothing undone, and no escaping it.
Next, it would be Qian Guanshu’s turn to pay!
