CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 115: THE OPERATION BEGINS

Xu Cheng sat in the office, feeling a bit restless. Although Jiang Jingming had said not to get involved, he still felt uneasy.

Xu Cheng picked up the phone and made a call: "Has Vice Jiang returned?"

"No." A voice came from the receiver.

"Did he say when he would be back?"

"No, Director Xu."

"How many people did he take with him?" Xu Cheng asked again.

"Report to Director Xu, Vice Jiang took twenty-five people."

Only twenty-five people?

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Cheng said: "Alright, I understand. Keep me updated on any developments."

"Yes, Director Xu."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Cheng fell into thought. Only taking twenty-five people, could it be that he...

If that’s the case, then things are really serious.

...

Meanwhile, Zhang San and Zhao Wu noticed there was no movement inside. Impatiently, Zhang San knocked on the door and asked: "Are you done yet?"

After a long time, there was no response from inside.

Zhang San and Zhao Wu exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong, and immediately kicked the door open.

They found no one inside, with clothes twisted into a rope hanging by the window.

"She ran away!" Zhao Wu shouted angrily!

"Damn woman, she actually ran. Hurry up and chase her, she can’t have gone far!" Zhang San also shouted angrily,

The two rushed out: "She ran, quickly, go after her!"

Instantly, everyone who heard the commotion ran out.

If they couldn’t find her, their lives were over too.

But Zhang San and Zhao Wu searched everywhere nearby, still not seeing any sign of Sang Yu.

A woman, they didn’t believe she could get far in a few minutes.

Besides, she jumped from over two meters high, she must have gotten hurt.

But no matter how they searched, they just couldn’t find her.

"What do we do now?" Zhao Wu asked with a frown.

Zhang San looked around at the empty surroundings. "How should I know? That damn woman, when I catch her, I’ll kill her."

Zhang San and Zhao Wu continued searching, afraid of missing anywhere.

But after half an hour, they still hadn’t found Sang Yu.

Zhao Wu was getting scared: "Zhang San, should we run? Otherwise, we’ll end up like Li Si."

Li Si had been dealt with for making a mistake before,

The scene of that punishment still lingered in his mind.

Zhang San obviously also thought of Li Si’s fate, and his face turned extremely grim.

"Where do you think we can run?" Zhang San gritted his teeth.

They knew how capable their boss was. They couldn’t escape forever.

And if they got caught after running, their fate would be even worse.

"So what should we do now? It seems like she really ran."

Zhang San: "Let’s inform the boss first."

Zhao Wu trembled: "Are you sure we should tell the boss?"

"What else can we do? Let him find out himself?" Zhang San said impatiently.

Zhao Wu looked at Zhang San, biting his lip: "Okay, you go tell him, I’ll keep searching."

Zhang San didn’t think much about it and nodded: "Yeah."

Whether he told or Zhao Wu did, their fate was the same.

When Zhang San went back, Zhao Wu pretended to search for a while, then ran once he was sure Zhang San couldn’t see him.

Even if they found him in the end, so what? For now, he needed to run.

He didn’t want to be the next Li Si.

Meanwhile, Zhang San, with trembling hands, picked up the phone and called their boss.

The voice on the other end was icy: "What’s the matter?"

Hearing that voice, Zhang San didn’t dare to speak, his lips moved but no words came out.

"Speak!" The other side said in a deep voice.

Zhang San shuddered and said tremblingly: "B-Boss, sh-she ran away."

There was a moment of silence on the other side before asking: "What did you say?"

Zhang San: "I’m sorry, boss, we weren’t watching closely."

The other side didn’t say anything further and just hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Zhang San’s heart pounded in sync, just like the cut-off call.

After making the call, Zhang San went to look for Zhao Wu, but no matter what, he couldn’t find him.

At that moment, he realized Zhao Wu had escaped.

Conflicted within, so what if he ran now; he would eventually be found.

And it might implicate his family; he might as well accept whatever punishment.

Half an hour later, the scarred man appeared before Zhang San.

Zhang San knelt before him: "Repeat what you said on the phone."

Zhang San, trembling, said: "I-I’m sorry, boss, we weren’t watching closely."

The man kicked him, sending Zhang San rolling away.

"Useless! You can’t even watch a woman, such a bunch of losers!"

Zhang San got up, not daring to speak, and continued to kneel.

"Where’s Zhao Wu?" The scarred man asked.

Zhang San shook his head: "I don’t know."

The scarred man chuckled: "Good, very good."

"You still remember what happened to Li Si last time, right?"

Zhang San’s face went pale. He didn’t know how to plead for mercy.

"Take him away." The scarred man clearly didn’t give Zhang San a chance to plead.

Sang Yu escaped, and the only leverage against Jiang Jingming was gone.

They underestimated that woman; she managed to escape.

No wonder Jiang Jingming liked her so much.

It seems this time they really met their match with Jiang Jingming.

"Come here."

"Boss."

"Buy all the tickets we can to leave here now."

"Yes, boss."

They would have to leave here temporarily.

Meanwhile, this scene was all seen by Jiang Jingming and the others.

"Looks like they’ve already discovered the escape of the sister-in-law."

"What do we do now?"

Jiang Jingming watched ahead, noticing the man who just went in hadn’t come out yet.

If they realized Sang Yu had escaped, they would likely change their plan too.

What would it be?

No matter what, they weren’t leaving here.

They still had fifteen minutes until eight o’clock, and fifteen minutes was plenty.

Jiang Jingming glanced behind at Sang Yu: "Stay here and don’t wander."

Sang Yu nodded: "I understand."

After leaving two people to protect Sang Yu, the rest followed Jiang Jingming quietly into the house.

They took down the outer guards.

Around the dock, the cargo was already loaded onto the ship. Lu Yao glanced at his watch; there were only ten minutes until eight.

He signaled to his men, and they all quietly left.

At exactly eight, a group of police stormed the dock, arresting everyone boarding the ship.

All the cargo on that ship was also seized.
