148: Chapter 148 These two people cannot be allowed to live.

"Useless trash!"

"F*cking useless trash!"

After hearing the situation, Young Master Yang Wenhao flew into a rage. He never expected that despite Liu Sanxing's confident guarantees, all three men would end up being caught.

This put them in a passive position because the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had been alerted and had personally given instructions.

This also made Young Master Yang Wenhao realize for the first time that the relationship between Qin Chuan and Secretary Yu Zhikun of the Municipal Party Committee was truly not simple.

If it were just an ordinary relationship, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee wouldn't have personally called the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The worst part was that Liu Sanxing had been summoned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He was an old hand; he should be able to wash his hands clean of it, and surely he wouldn't implicate me, right?

Amidst his anger, Young Master Yang Wenhao thought a lot. As for whether Liu Sanxing's arrest would involve him, he wasn't particularly worried.

Even if there were some involvement, he wasn't afraid. His father was Yang Fuguo; who in Jianning City would dare touch him, Young Master Yang Wenhao?

However, the development of events greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Liu Sanxing certainly didn't expect that some people in the Municipal Public Security Bureau who usually called him brother were now cold-faced, acting as if they didn't know him at all, maintaining a completely business-like attitude.

They even put handcuffs on him.

All of this hinted at an unusual atmosphere.

Seeing things weren't right, Liu Sanxing asked to make a phone call, but he was sternly refused. The person interrogating him was even a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau named Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Wenyong.

He knew this Deputy Director Zhang; the man hated evil with a passion. He had tried to corrupt him many times without success. Conversely, Deputy Director Zhang had investigated him many times, but because of the great resistance, he had never succeeded, and Liu Sanxing had remained untouched until now.

This time was truly different. Not only was he handcuffed and sitting in an interrogation room, but the one interrogating him was Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Wenyong, which made Liu Sanxing feel very panicked.

Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Wenyong spoke with a serious expression, "Liu Sanxing, you are suspected of organized crime, drug trafficking, and intentional injury. I hope you will honestly confess your problems!"

Although he was panicking inside, Liu Sanxing didn't show it. Instead, he acted like a seasoned veteran, refusing to cooperate.

After a period of interrogation, seeing little progress, Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Wenyong began to appropriately reveal the criminal evidence the police already possessed. Liu Sanxing grew even more panicked.

He had only one thought: It's over, I'm finished. It's going to be hard to get over this hurdle. I wonder if Young Master Wen can bail me out.

By nine or ten o'clock at night, seeing that neither Yang Fuguo nor his son had shown up, and the police were still acting strictly by the book, Liu Sanxing became even more panicked.

Certain thoughts had already formed in his mind. For example, he guessed if the matter had blown up too much and the Yang father and son had abandoned him.

If that was truly the case, the situation was dangerous. He had to save himself...

...

The next day.

After waking up in the morning, Qin Chuan checked the messages refreshed by the system. One of them left him in a state of shock.

"Late last night, Liu Sanxing escaped from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He will go to Young Master Yang Wenhao, and under Young Master Yang Wenhao's instigation, he will come to find trouble with you at 12:30 tonight while armed with a gun..."

The dignified Municipal Public Security Bureau actually let Liu Sanxing escape.

Qin Chuan guessed that there was likely assistance from internal personnel.

Then again, Liu Sanxing was the boss of the underworld in Jianning City. It was normal for him to have connections with certain people in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and even more normal to receive their secret assistance.

Heh.

Young Master Yang Wenhao actually instigated Liu Sanxing to come find trouble with me. These two cannot be left alive; they must be taken down as soon as possible.

Liu Sanxing's escape caused a stir within a small circle in Jianning City. Especially Secretary Yu Zhikun; after hearing about this, he called Lei Jianping and gave him a severe scolding.

Lei Jianping was depressed and immediately organized people to investigate, especially to screen for moles. He had to drag out the person who assisted Liu Sanxing in his escape.

Having operated in Jianning City for so many years, Liu Sanxing had several hidden hideouts. It would be difficult for the police to catch him again.

After escaping, he immediately found Young Master Yang Wenhao and even questioned him angrily about why he hadn't spoken to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to get him out.

Young Master Yang Wenhao, of course, made excuses and fooled him, shifting the blame by saying it was all because of Qin Chuan.

He said Qin Chuan's relationship with Secretary Yu Zhikun of the Municipal Party Committee was unusual, and Secretary Yu Zhikun had personally given instructions that Liu Sanxing's faction must be dismantled, so he had no choice.

He also suggested that Liu Sanxing leave Jianning City quickly and return after the heat died down, and so on.

After understanding that Qin Chuan was the root of everything, Liu Sanxing was fuming with rage. He clearly told Young Master Yang Wenhao that before leaving Jianning City, he would definitely kill Qin Chuan.

Hearing this, Young Master Yang Wenhao was overjoyed.

This was what he hoped for most. Now, he truly wished Qin Chuan would die.

The Municipal Party Committee Secretary's Office.

Secretary Yu Zhikun specifically called Qin Chuan over to reassure him and informed him that the investigation was almost complete—Liu Sanxing was the one who ordered those men to attack Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded and reminded him, "Secretary Yu Zhikun, my conflict with Young Master Yang Wenhao has been quite large lately. Could he be the one behind Liu Sanxing's orders?"

"Hmm, it's possible," Secretary Yu Zhikun said. "But there's no evidence yet. Liu Sanxing didn't say anything, and he escaped last night."

Qin Chuan said, "So, Liu Sanxing is the key. He must be caught."

"I have already Yan Ling the Municipal Public Security Bureau to bring Liu Sanxing back as soon as possible."

Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Yu Zhikun, do you think it's possible that Liu Sanxing might seek revenge on me? After all, it was because I caught several of his subordinates that he was also arrested."

Hearing this, Secretary Yu Zhikun was slightly startled.

He had truly overlooked this aspect. Fortunately, with Qin Chuan's reminder, he nodded in strong agreement. "It's very likely. Your safety is no small matter. I'll call the Municipal Public Security Bureau right now and tell them to send several elites to protect you in secret."

Having people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau protecting him in secret wasn't a bad thing. Hidden arrows are hard to guard against; Liu Sanxing was in the dark while he was in the light.

Nothing happened throughout the entire day.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau launched a search, but there was no sign of Liu Sanxing. Some people even thought Liu Sanxing must have already fled Jianning City.

Qin Chuan, however, knew very well that Liu Sanxing was in Jianning City, hiding in some dark corner, and would come to find trouble with him at 12:30 tonight.

Then he would wait for him to deliver himself to the door and capture him in one fell swoop.

As usual, Qin Chuan went to work and finished work as scheduled. In the evening, he even had a few drinks with Director Huang and others.

It was already past nine in the evening when he returned to his residence. He took a shower and chatted with Zhu Qingxi on the phone for twenty to thirty minutes.

Of course, he didn't mention these matters to avoid worrying her.

At eleven o'clock at night, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes watched the direction of Qin Chuan's apartment. Seeing the lights go out, a cold sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth.

However, he didn't act rashly but continued to wait.

Not until 12:30 at night, when all was quiet and most people had entered their dreams, did he begin to creep over quietly, a Type 54 pistol clone tucked in his bosom.
