Chapter 164

Qiu Yan maintained a cautious distance behind the car driven by Gong Yingxian, carefully following. However, it was late at night, and it was easy to lose track of them; neither of them dared to let their guard down.KbPKqDyrHYkBhaNOWjlZolIXtsYkMO

“They’re heading to the suburbs,” Ren Yi said. “That makes sense; with Huang Yan taking hostages, he wouldn’t be able to operate in a densely populated area.”iHdSDyvQlliEDAMKAPumOTUSvtgPTL

“Since he’s kidnapped hostages, has he made any demands to the police?”PDeqGiLXHMWyhasZADDtwtXTLvJbln

“No,” Qiu Yan frowned slightly. “It’s really strange. Everything that happened at the hotel is odd. Our analysis suggests that their original plan might not have been like this. Bai Chicheng betrayed Purple Flame to save his own life and changed the plan.”SXmJcZigmTGvEJUklcNNayKpDBcJex

“It seems not everyone has been completely brainwashed; there’s still someone who values their life,” Ren Yi said, then reconsidered, “But Bai Chicheng could kill his own wife and daughter. He doesn’t seem like someone who values life; he might even be crazier than anyone else.”HVJPMbagdiSlQhnXvWpitOaZwfmPBD

“You make a good point. Moreover, we previously found that Bai Yan might have procured a lot of chemicals, which we still haven’t located. We’ve searched the entire hotel; they were probably moved elsewhere before entering the hotel. Wherever they are, they pose a potential threat,” Qiu Yan said worriedly. “All of this raises suspicions that Bai Yan has ulterior motives. However, now that Bai Yan is under Yingxian’s control, it doesn’t seem like a development that benefits Bai Yan, so I still lean towards the idea that he changed his mind at the last minute.”YNCkHDFKRoBiWFpFApLknJILPdrYbv

“Let’s hope so. I’m also afraid he has more schemes. They say Huang Yan is dangerous, but in terms of destructive capability, Bai Yan is the most dangerous one.”OQXjWkeVniryEEcNnIUBEWjWyagTpA

Ren Yi thought of the chemicals Gong Yingxian had bought. Those things might be useless in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of someone like Gong Yingxian or Bai Yan, they could become weapons.iKFGzHYnehhnSskLDmPtaXmvqiZTnR

Thinking of this, Ren Yi felt even deeper concern, not knowing what further evil the wicked X cult planned to commit. He asked again, “Is there anything special about the hostages? I wonder if they’re still alive…”BlXXvfAohrnNtqvmNsXiENFcykgKRV

“We’ve checked; they’re a couple traveling from out of town. They don’t seem special. This X cult has not been shy about indiscriminately persecuting innocent people before; they could burn someone alive just for a live broadcast,” Qiu Yan said solemnly. “I think their chances of survival are slim.”qBkGiSesGafePyqqJAgyrmQoUJwgPo

Ren Yi couldn’t help but reach for the small knife hidden in the small of his back. If he really got to see Huang Yan today, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch.YRVgIGEzPZvQgSINCsdZqgIAflUjtK

Gong Yingxian’s car turned left onto another road. Due to the buildings blocking their view, they quickly lost sight of that car. Qiu Yan grew anxious and pressed the accelerator to catch up.WCMCWccPGtflucIpHmrMFLUrBoAuMc

However, just after turning the corner, they saw that car parked by the roadside, and Gong Yingxian was standing by the car door, clearly waiting for them. The half of his handsome face obscured by a mask made it hard to read his emotions, but a palpable low pressure surrounded him.hqNHMVRLvSLlWgPrVnzXnlcZXVsuyu

Ren Yi unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and slammed the door shut as he strode towards Gong Yingxian.JMasJqrLbRZbbipYmpoKGCeCTkukxu

Gong Yingxian glared at Ren Yi. “How did you find us?”FHwxExGuaXacFDdWoOffwNzVDRKgrA

“I put a tracker in that pile of stuff,” Ren Yi crossed his arms and looked at him. “Didn’t expect that, did you?”PQuTFNHVWkKTPpGFpLpbICJJZHgXym

Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes. “I really should tie you up.”bigpGBYZGkrnGhHkxHOGvFbeJBKSto

“On what grounds do you think you can just leave me behind?” Ren Yi retorted angrily. “What’s wrong with me wanting to help you? Haven’t we been fighting side by side all along? Besides, Huang Yan is the one who killed Sun Dingyi, and you didn’t even tell me!”MqGABnmyOyoHNnHhpHKOOgWDqLmdYQ

“Precisely because he’s dangerous, you shouldn’t go alone.”XGwlrvXYOzKohDKCchzMpDhkYCRaKe

“That’s not for you to decide, because no one can predict danger,” Ren Yi said firmly, looking at Gong Yingxian. “We’re going together. I’ve come this far; how can you stop me?”xJaiRgYPApkTwtRNgfaWUGvBvUGymx

Gong Yingxian furrowed his brow tightly. He glanced back at the person sitting in the passenger seat, seemingly hesitating.shJTEQvPybbGBimSUiTtXFOfeMsXgm

“I know you’re afraid of putting us in danger, but after all these years, this case has become my obsession. I can’t heal without solving it,” Qiu Yan said gently. “Captain Ren is right; we’re fighting side by side, just like before.”oQDozzwREBGaKyOHbwhJWpFRpywWbL

Ren Yi sighed. “So what’s your plan? What about Bai Yan? What’s his current situation?”XIqzGDtBZXdAtEUCptiJEUJEpQYnsb

“He still refuses to give me what I need unless I help him escape from Beijing,” Gong Yingxian said with a cold smile. “But it’s fine; as long as I have the person, I’ll eventually get it out of him.”rpzEqbckmTcXtGFhmhvdkHIXVEzlCf

“Do you have a set time and place to meet Huang Yan?” Qiu Yan glanced at his watch. “It’s almost ten.”NvUTLuVvVeyjAnoIhzPLNOLfQYavax

“I know you want revenge, but don’t forget your identity and the responsibilities on your shoulders. The most important thing now is to capture Huang Yan alive while ensuring our own safety. Promise me you won’t act impulsively and will follow my lead.”iRpvOyNSEMbxvWfSqLmuJceemLsIdg

Gong Yingxian nodded. “Let’s go.”bXeyQlLVzpENqBzbrpXMXnwEYzeRJy

Ren Yi suddenly leaned closer to Gong Yingxian and whispered in his ear, “If you want to tie me up, that’s fine; I’ll play along next time.” Gong Yingxian didn’t expect Ren Yi to tease him at that moment, and he blushed deeply, caught off guard.rFqnfXUEvJvpuGjGQFbHAYwjskPxbe

With a quick wit, Ren Yi felt he had gained the upper hand and playfully patted Gong Yingxian on the shoulder before turning to get into the car.uBQDfAWcWZVgqPAxfIMbFqvuXDCThB
