Zuo Chenye took a helicopter to Tianlong Mountain and took two top bodyguards with him.
Yanhan took another group of people to Fenghuang Mountain Gas Station to pay a ransom of 500 million.
Gong Suyan led the rest of the large force and arrived later. Because this operation was kept secret and the gangsters could not be alerted, police helicopters and armed trucks could not be dispatched. Gong Suyan and his people drove private cars in batches and rushed to Tianlong Mountain.
To improve the concealment of actions.
Zuo Chenye arrived at Tianlong Mountain first, and then walked into the mountain with two bodyguards. According to the map, they quickly found the location of the abandoned warehouse of the former forestry processing factory.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, lifeless.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Zuo Chenye became nervous for no reason. The iron door of the house in front of him was ajar.
He hesitated for a moment, his outstretched hand trembling slightly.
He pushed the door open hard.
Two bodyguards rushed in with guns drawn. After searching around, they replied, "Young Master Zuo, there is no one inside, there are only two corpses."
Hearing the word corpse, Zuo Chenye's temples jumped sharply. He rushed into the room in panic, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that both corpses were male. Fortunately, they were not Qiao Ran.
A bodyguard came forward to examine the corpses carefully and analyzed, "The death time of these two corpses was no more than an hour. They were both killed with a single knife. It can be seen that the person who did it had just left here not long ago."
"Strange." Another bodyguard said doubtfully, "these two people did not resist before they were killed, because before that, one of them had been knocked unconscious, and the other had been shot in both knees and wrists. He should also be in a coma due to blood loss.
And it was obvious that it had been several hours since he was shot. So, the people who came after him just stabbed them and cut their throats to death."
"His knees and wrists were shot?" Zuo Chenye stepped forward after hearing this and took a closer look.
He didn't take anyone's life, but hit the wrist and knee accurately. Could it be Qiao Ran's handiwork?
"So, the people we are looking for should have escaped from the warehouse a few hours ago. These two people were silenced by their own people." The bodyguard analyzed.
"Let's go out and search quickly. The person who killed and silenced must be continuing to hunt Qiao Ran." Zuo Chenye's expression suddenly turned cold. He was happy that Qiao Ran had escaped. What was unsettling was that the gangster was extremely vicious and was still chasing him.
To kill Qiao Ran, they didn't even hesitate to silence their own people, which was extremely cruel.
"Yes, Mr. Zuo."
The two bodyguards, Wang Lin and Liu Yu, were originally special security personnel of the R&S Group. They were both former special police officers. However, Zuo Chenye didn't like to bring bodyguards with him when he came in and out, so they were always on standby in the group.
Wang Lin surveyed the nearby footprints and found some female footprints, roughly judging the direction of Qiao Ran's escape.
Zuo Chenye made a satellite phone call to Gong Suyan.
He spoke concisely and to the point, "Gong Suyan, the kidnapping location is definitely the warehouse in Tianlong Mountain. However, Qiao Ran is no longer here. He may have escaped. The two kidnappers have been silenced. I'm afraid the other gangsters are still chasing Qiao Ran."
"I understand. As expected, it is consistent with our previous judgment. Qiao Ran has escaped the control of the gangsters. You start the search first, turn on the satellite positioning, and we will arrive later. Hang up."
Zuo Chenye hung up the satellite phone.
Then he, Wang Lin and Liu Yu, followed Qiao Ran's footsteps and walked into the mountains and forests.
The vast forest sea has no end as far as the eye can see. At first, you can still find some footprints.
Gradually, no trace could be found anymore.
They searched for it for a long time, walking deeper and further into the mountains and forests, and gradually lost their way.
When they could no longer walk, they sat on the ground, ate some solid food, drank water, and rested for a while.
"We can't search blindly. We have been searching for several hours. We have no clue at all. If we all search separately, the efficiency will be much improved." Zuo Chenye raised his head and drank a bottle of mineral water, he suggested.
"But if we search separately, how can we ensure your safety, Young Master Zuo?" Wang Lin hesitated. Protecting Young Master Zuo's safety is also their first priority.
