"That guy actually mentioned the Black Dragon Society to you?" Haitang said in the hotel room with a look of disbelief.
"Yeah!" Li Qiang shrugged, "To be honest, I didn't expect him to be so direct. I was really shocked by him."
"So, this incident is most likely the work of the consulate?"
"I think so too, otherwise Daisuke Shikawa wouldn't have spent so much time on it."
"Are you setting up the blame? As expected of the Japanese, they are really skilled in such methods!" At this point, Haitang paused, and then continued to ask, "What are the conditions?"
"As long as we are willing to cooperate, they will leave the man named Huo to our disposal and ensure that no one will come to make trouble again."
"To be honest, I even have some doubts now. They planned all this in advance." Haitang couldn't help complaining, "So you promised him?"
"Not yet. After all, we are not related to Mr. Naxu. This kind of matter should be decided by the relatives of the parties concerned."
"Yes, that's right!" Just as he was saying this, he saw Li Qiang taking off his coat from the hanger without saying anything, causing Haitang to quickly ask, "You want to go out so late?"
"This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later to avoid long nights and many dreams. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Then I'll go with you. Just wait for me. Soon!"
I have to say that what Haitang said was fast was really fast. It only took less than five minutes to pack everything up and leave the hotel with Li Qiang.
As the curfew was approaching, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and almost all of them had hurried expressions on their faces.
But strangely, just one street away from the library, there were an unusually large number of people on the street.
Could something happen?
This sudden thought immediately made Li Qiang feel inexplicably uneasy, and then he couldn't let it go no matter what.
So Li Qiang simply stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the library at full speed.
He was afraid of something. Before Li Qiang could drive the car closer, he saw from a distance that a lot of people had gathered around the entrance of the library. There was even a police car parked outside the crowd.
"It's Mrs. Xu! How did she get up there?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang hurriedly followed Haitang's gaze and saw Mrs. Xu standing on the roof of the library in despair, her body swaying in the wind, as if she would fall down at any time.
"Mr. Ming, Miss Qinghe, why are you here?" Abao, who was wearing a green police uniform, recognized the two of them from the crowd at a glance, so he walked over quickly and asked.
"Oh, let's not talk about that for now." After saying that, Li Qiang quickly pointed to Mrs. Xu standing on the roof of the building and asked, "What's wrong with the lady above?"
"I heard that my daughter has disappeared. Alas, my husband just died two days ago, and now my only daughter has disappeared again. I'm afraid no one can bear such excitement, right? It's really pitiful to say that."
Hearing this, the two people quickly looked at each other. The tacit understanding formed by their years of partnership made the two people immediately complete the silent communication. Then, Li Qiang walked towards the crowd without saying a word, and when Ah
Bao's persuasion failed, and when he turned around to ask Haitang to help persuade him, he was surprised to find that Haitang had also disappeared.
"Sorry, I can borrow it for a moment!"
Although many people had gathered at the entrance of the library at this time, Li Qiang could always find the gaps in the crowd and nimbly walked through them. In a short time, he was at the front.
As soon as he came closer, he saw Chen Junbao raising his head and persuading earnestly, "Mrs. Xu, listen to my advice and come down quickly!"
Upon seeing this, Li Qiang hurried forward and asked, "Professor Chen, Mrs. Xu...how long have you been standing there?"
"I also came here later, but judging from her current state, it must have been an hour, right? You came just in time. Please advise me together to prevent her from doing something stupid because she can't think about it for a moment.
.”
Li Qiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then he looked up and shouted to Mrs. Xu on the roof like Chen Junbao did just now: "Mrs. Xu, it's me, Qiang! Why did you run to such a high place?"
However, Mrs. Xu didn't seem to hear anything. She still stood unsteadily on the roof and kept looking around, as if she was looking for something.
"What is she doing?"
"Maybe he's looking for Yanji, right? Yanji almost got lost once when he went to watch a horse race. In the end, Brother Xu climbed up a billboard out of desperation, and that's how he escaped."
Before he finished speaking, a voice full of self-blame also rang out, "It's all my fault. Why didn't you notice that such a big living person was missing? If there really is something wrong, I will die, old man.
Now, I don’t have the shame to see the master when I get down there.”
Only then did Li Qiang notice the old woman slumped on the ground.
"Wu Ma, now is not the time to talk about this. You should quickly find a way to persuade your wife to come down!"
"I……"
Just when Wu Ma looked confused and overwhelmed, another figure suddenly appeared on the roof, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. However, before those people could scream, Li Qiang was caught in time by Li Qiang.
The ground stopped him.
Then he shouted loudly: "Dear neighbors, uncles and aunts, have you ever seen a little girl, about this tall, about seven or eight years old?"
The onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads after hearing this. In the end, Ah Bao in the crowd was the first to react, "Huh? After hearing what you said, little brother, I have an impression. Are you wearing a plaid top and blue pants?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ma, who had been slumped on the ground, immediately became energetic and almost jumped up from the ground. She said with surprise and joy: "Yes, yes, yes! It must be her."
It's her, where did you see her?"
"It's on the campus next door." Abao replied with a confident look on his face.
Before she finished speaking, Wu Ma immediately shouted loudly, "Madam! Madam! Yanji, there is news about Yanji! Madam!"
Not to mention that this voice is really useful. Mrs. Xu on the roof suddenly came back to her senses and said with a look of disbelief: "Really? Mother Wu? Don't lie..."
Maybe it was because she had been standing on the roof for too long, and her physical strength had been severely exhausted without realizing it. Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Xu suddenly felt her eyes go dark, and she stumbled twice.
He fell downstairs, instantly causing the onlookers downstairs to scream in surprise.
It was too late, but it was too soon. At this critical moment, Haitang, who had quietly touched Mrs. Xu's back, saw the right moment and pounced forward, pulling Mrs. Xu back who had lost consciousness.
Only then did everyone finally feel relieved, and then they all clapped their hands and cheered.
Although Keren was saved, the matter was far from over. Several people called doctors and took notes until late at night, and finally they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
It was only then that Chen Junbao asked for details, "Wu Ma, what happened? Why did a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear?"
"It's all my fault. I was only busy sorting out the master's belongings. I took it for granted that Xiao Yanji was still reading in the library as obediently as before. But it wasn't until I finished what I was doing and asked her to go to the vegetable market with me.
Found her missing."
"Have you asked the surrounding neighbors and shops?" Chen Junbao asked again.
However, before Wu Ma could speak, Ah Bao said: "I've asked all the questions, but I haven't found anything."
"This is going to be difficult. Although Hong Kong is not big, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If Mrs. Xu wakes up and finds that there is still no progress, Bao Buqi will do something even more outrageous.
,well!"
Speaking of this, Chen Junbao couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then he said to Li Qiang and Haitang as if he suddenly remembered something: "But even so, I still have to thank you two. If you hadn't helped in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
!”
"Professor Chen, you don't have to be like this. It's just a little effort. It doesn't count. The top priority is..."
Just as he was talking, Ah Fa hurried over and said to Ah Bao with a solemn expression: "Brother Bao, there is news..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throats, and the expression on Wu Ma's face went through several emotions such as anticipation, surprise and worry in an instant.
But just when everyone pricked up their ears and tried hard to hear what news Ah Fa had to say, Ah Fa deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Ah Bao, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Officer Abao, what kind of news is this that even we can't know? Should...could it be..." At this moment, Chen Junbao had already thought of the worst case scenario, and even his voice began to tremble when he said it.
Abao quickly comforted him: "Professor Chen, things are not what you think. We have found Yan Ji's whereabouts, and everything is safe for the time being."
It was better not to say this, but after saying it, instead of providing comfort, it made Chen Junbao even more worried, "What do you mean it's safe for the time being? Can you make it clearer? Is this how you handle cases?"
"Professor Chen, please don't be so excited. I'll tell him!" Seeing that Chen Junbao became more and more excited as he spoke, Li Qiang immediately advised him.
However, Ah Bao only said, "The case is too complicated. That's all I can say. I'll just stop here today." He simply got up and walked out without saying anything.
Li Qiang didn't have time to think about it, and after signaling to everyone to calm down, he hurriedly chased out...
And just after Li Qiang chased him out of the room, he saw that Ah Bao had not gone far, but was just standing in the corridor, as if he was waiting for him.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"According to the tip, this matter is most likely related to Tian Hesheng."
"Tian Hesheng? So, that Aren not only reported Luo Baohu's incident to the Japanese, but also informed Tian Hesheng?"
"Well, it looks like this." Abao nodded in agreement.
"I didn't expect those bastards to move so fast! I didn't expect that I was the one who got them involved. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster and it was still too late. In this way, you can find a way to help me bring a message to that Luo Baolong and ask him out.
Let’s talk face to face in Zhongshan Park tomorrow morning.”
"Okay, I'll bring more people there then!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang flatly refused and said: "No need, don't forget that you are soldiers and they are thieves, so don't come forward easily to avoid false accusations."
"But……"
"Stop being stubborn, I have made up my mind, don't say anything else, saving people is the most important thing, go quickly!"
"...Okay! I'll do it right away!"
…
"How's it going, Mr. Ming, have you caught up with any police officer?" As soon as Li Qiang returned to the room, Chen Junbao stood up and asked anxiously.
But before Li Qiang could speak, Wu Ma's voice came from inside, "Madam, why are you up? The doctor said that your body is still very weak and you cannot get out of bed and walk around at will. Madam..."
Hearing this, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in without saying a word. Chen Junbao was about to follow him in, but was stopped by Haitang.
"Mrs. Xu, are you awake?"
"Mr. Ming Ming?! Why are you... here?"
"Such a big thing happened, how could I not come?"
"Yanji...Yanji...where is Yanji now?"
"Don't be so excited. Sit down and I'll tell you slowly." After saying that, he turned to Wu's mother and said, "Wu's mother, just leave this to me. You go ahead!"
"Oh, okay...okay."
Soon, only Li Qiang and Mrs. Xu were left in the room.
"Mrs. Xu, first of all, I want to solemnly apologize to you. If it weren't for me, Yanji wouldn't have been kidnapped."
"Kid...kidnapped?...It was Tian He Sheng's gang of bastards who did it, right?"
"That's right, it's them."
"I...I fought with them!"
"Mrs. Xu, calm down. Although Yan Ji was kidnapped by them, his life will definitely not be in danger. I can guarantee this with my life."
"real?"
"real."
It was only then that Mrs. Xu's heart finally relaxed, "But what are they doing with a kid?"
"Of course it's to hold you hostage in exchange for my younger brother, who is being held captive by me. It may even go a step further and blackmail you into handing over those ancient books."
"Wishful thinking! Those ancient books were protected by Dishan with his own life. If I trade them for Yanji, will I still have the face to meet him when I get down there?"
Although Mrs. Xu's voice was not loud and she was still very weak, every word shocked Li Qiang greatly.
It is not difficult to see from her previous extreme actions how important her daughter is to her, but even so, she still sticks to the final bottom line, and is even ready to sacrifice her daughter for this. Such awareness
, Li Qiang could not help but be in awe of him.
After a short silence, Li Qiang came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, I will help you bring Yanji back unharmed!"
