CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 154: GOU FENG CAPTURED

Qin Xiao nodded, "That building is behind the laboratory. The fire in the front hasn’t been put out. To get close to this building, you can only go from the back, but there’s a school wall back there.

I just climbed over the wall from the back to get here..."

Qin Xiao looked at Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, I heard from your sister-in-law that you didn’t call me this morning, and your card was stolen.

Did Gou Feng come looking for you yesterday?"

Zhang Yang nodded, "Yes, brother, was it really Gou Feng who planned this explosion?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, "I didn’t enter the laboratory, nor did I see Gou Feng. Let’s wait for the investigation to find out."

Zhang Yang said, "If he really planned it, then he’s too ruthless. So many innocent people."

Qin Xiao asked, "How many casualties are there now?"

Zhang Yang replied, "Three people are dead and forty are injured."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao looked at Qin Tan, and Qin Tan nodded, "I will arrange for the aftermath."

But as for the cause of the accident, the explosion’s center is the laboratory, and as the financer behind the lab, we must step in to handle the aftermath.

After a few words, Qin Xiao prepared to go to the site with Qin Tan and the others. First, he came from the explosion site and needed to explain the situation, and secondly, he needed to understand the situation at the scene.

As Qin Xiao was about to leave, Xiao Li subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand, not wanting him to go...

Qin Xiao reached out and stroked Xiao Li’s face, "Don’t worry, I’m just going to report the situation and check out the site, and I’ll be back soon...

Wait for me..."

Xiao Li let go of his hand, and Qin’s mother said beside her, "Ah Xiao, why don’t you eat something before you go..."

Qin Xiao shook his head, "Mom, I’m not hungry, I’ll eat when I come back. I need to explain the situation first. I was blasted to the building behind; maybe someone else was too. It’s best to have someone check it out."

Qin’s mother nodded, "Alright, go!"

Qin Xiao looked at Xiao Li, "Wait for me to come back."

Xiao Li nodded, and the men all left; Qin’s father also went.

This matter was quite significant, and with Qin’s father stepping in, everyone would give some face.

After all the men left, Qin’s mother looked at Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, now that Ah Xiao is fine, you don’t have to worry about him. You’ve had a fright today, and haven’t eaten yet. Let’s order something, eat, and then rest for a while."

Xiao Li nodded, and Aunt Wu went to reheat the earlier takeaway. Since one portion had been spilled, the food wasn’t enough, but everyone wasn’t too hungry, so it was enough to share.

After eating, Qin’s mother asked Xiao Li to rest, but Xiao Li couldn’t sleep.

Although Qin Xiao returned safely, after today’s events, as long as Qin Xiao wasn’t around, Xiao Li felt uneasy, and she couldn’t rest even if asked to.

Xiao Li sat back in the chair she was in earlier, watching the rescue scene in the distance, while checking her phone for messages and returning calls.

Her phone had received many WeChat messages and missed calls; she hadn’t been in the mood to respond earlier, but now she needed to reply to those who cared about her.

At the accident scene, Qin Xiao described what happened during the explosion to the rescue team and told them about the location where he was blown to. The fire brigade captain leading the rescue immediately arranged for a check behind the wall when he heard someone might be there.

In this search, two people were indeed found in the vacant lot between the laboratory and the building behind it. There was no one in the building, which was understandable; not everyone knew how to leverage as Qin Xiao did. Those who didn’t know simply got blown where they got blown.

The fire at the site was finally put out after relentless efforts by the firefighters, and once the fire was extinguished, the rescue efforts accelerated. Fortunately, after the site inspection, no more casualties were found around.

After the situation at the scene was concluded, Xiao Li did not wait for Qin Xiao’s return because he was called in to investigate the matter.

Although she knew Qin Xiao went to cooperate with the judicial investigation and there was no danger, Xiao Li felt anxious whenever Qin Xiao wasn’t around.

Xiao Li looked at Qin’s father, "Dad, how long will Uncle need to come back?"

Qin’s father shook his head, "Not sure yet. The matter needs investigation, and Ah Xiao, being involved and the lab’s head, must cooperate with the investigation.

Don’t worry, before Ah Xiao went to cooperate with the investigation, arrangements were made to find Gou Feng’s whereabouts.

Based on the known situation now, this person is highly suspected. As soon as he’s found, the case will progress."

Xiao Li nodded, "But Uncle is still injured. We initially planned to have him get a CT scan, and now that he’s cooperating with the investigation, he can’t go to the hospital."

Qin’s father waved his hand, "Ah Xiao said he’s fine. He’s a doctor himself; he knows his condition.

Our Qin Family’s legal team will also intervene immediately if needed and will secure his swift release if required...

Alright, let’s go home and wait for Ah Xiao."

Qin’s mother came over and held Xiao Li’s hand, "Xiao Li, don’t worry... it’s alright, let’s go! Let’s go home first."

Qin Xiao returned home only two days later. He had been continuously questioned by various people during those two days, and today he was able to return thanks to Mr. Feng successfully locating Gou Feng.

When Gou Feng was brought to the police station, he still denied everything. It wasn’t until the police investigated the security cameras around the laboratory and found footage of him near the scene during the explosion.

At first, Gou Feng claimed he was just coincidentally there and that it didn’t prove he was the culprit.

Finally, a severely injured survivor—a duty personnel from the power supply room of the lab building—woke up and reported that he saw someone turning off the power in the lab’s supply room before he was knocked unconscious.

Because he fainted in the supply room, he was severely injured when the lab building exploded.

No, severe injury was a stroke of luck for him because, at least, he didn’t die instantly.

The police, upon knowing he had seen the person who turned off the power, quickly showed Gou Feng’s photo to him, and he instantly recognized it.

With this, Gou Feng couldn’t deny any longer and confessed to what he had done.

It turned out that ever since being dismissed by Qin Xiao, Gou Feng had harbored a grudge. He sent the severance compensation Qin Xiao gave and his savings to his parents as retirement money, repaying them for their upbringing.

Then he began plotting revenge against Qin Xiao, devising numerous schemes to retaliate at the lab. But since Xiao Li ended her quarantine, Qin Xiao seldom went to the lab.

Unable to find Qin Xiao, Gou Feng thought of seeking information from Zhang Yang. That night, he initially intended to probe Zhang Yang about when Qin Xiao would visit the lab.

He deceived Zhang Yang by claiming job troubles and wished to ask Qin Xiao to let him return...

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang was a bit tipsy that night. As soon as Gou Feng poured out his grievances, Zhang Yang revealed everything. Upon hearing that Qin Xiao only came when Zhang Yang called, Gou Feng, while escorting the intoxicated Zhang Yang home, stole his SIM card and replaced it with his broken one in Zhang Yang’s phone.
