Ch97.2 - A Rainy Nigh (1/2)
“I’ll make a few calls, don’t say anything.” Huang Ting said on the phone.

One of Huang Ting’s phones was on loudspeaker to communicate with them, while the other was used to dial his colleague’s number. They were actually chatting idly, and he even asked the other party if he was going to sing karaoke tonight. Zhou Sheng looked back at Yu Hao, and Yu Hao suddenly understood. Huang Ting was testing his colleague.
After he hung up, Huang Ting’s voice sounded very anxious, “This won’t be easy to handle, and I can’t inform the expressway exit to stop the car. News will be leaked too easily. If the enemy catches wind of it……”
Chen Yekai said, “There are that many enemies?”
“Un.” Huang Ting said, “……I’ll try the other side.”
Huang Ting continued dialling. A girl on the other end uttered a “hello” and Huang Ting said, “Please transfer me to Bai Laoshi.”
After the call was transferred, he continued, “In an open environment, please listen to my report.” As he spoke, he gave a brief report on the situation and finally said, “There are people in the bureau who are in the know, so we can’t notify the expressway exit to stop the car as we could alert the enemy. The only thing we can do now is to keep following them.”

A male voice rang out, “Got it, I’ll inform someone to cooperate with you guys right away.”
Huang Ting answered, “Okay.”
That guy said, “We must find a way to protect that kid.”
When they heard those words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Ting hung up and said wearily, “He’s just a high school student, do they need to be that ruthless? The teachers in his school are even writing letters to plea for leniency, since they hope that his sentence can be lightened.”
“Come on, we’ll win! Punish them on behalf of the moon, Officer Huang.” Chen Yekai said casually with words that made everyone burst into laughter.
“The situation would be much better if we could inform the expressway exit.” Huang Ting said, “They must have caught wind of something for them to be that desperate.”
“In a fight between local and central governments, it’s impossible for the local one to win.” Chen Yekai was very clear on that.
“Chen Laoshi,” Huang Ting said on the phone, “Pay attention to your position and audience.”
Chen Yekai stopped talking. Zhou Sheng was sleeping, while Yu Hao had constantly been staring closely at the cars outside as he tried to pick out the Buick that Ou Qihang told them about. Not long after, Zhou Sheng woke up and glanced at the rearview mirror, then shook his head very slowly.
“Wait, Kaikai.” Fu Liqun suddenly said, “Young Master, is it that car?”

Yu Hao almost shouted “fuck”! Fu Liqun’s power of concentration was seriously amazing! Fortunately, they had brought him along, otherwise they would have driven past the car!
Everyone shouted, “Add a drumstick!”
But Fu Liqun said, “What do we do now?”
“Hold on!” Zhou Sheng immediately said, “Don’t alert them! Huang Ting, are the reinforcements here?”
Chen Yekai slowed down a little and saw the car ahead begin overtaking another car. “Where are they driving to?”
The Buick changed lanes. Chen Yekai changed lanes as well and drove behind a truck. Yu Hao instantly became very nervous, please don’t let anything happen on the expressway.
When they approached the toll station, there were many vehicles between the two cars. Chen Yekai had been keeping his eyes on the Buick, and he saw that it was about to drive away. Huang Ting was still making calls on the other end; the other party had changed to someone else who was in-charge. After hearing the details, they said, “We’ll arrive in half an hour. Please follow them closely and don’t engage in direct conflict unless absolutely necessary.”

“Don’t get off the expressway……” Zhou Sheng muttered, “Please don’t get off the expressway.”
Chen Yekai saw that car finally get off the expressway, and everyone uttered a “fuck” in unison. Yu Hao realised the danger and quickly said, “Chen Laoshi!”
“Got it.” Chen Yekai said, then swerved the steering wheel and got off the highway as well. Zhou Sheng called his family’s driver to guide them; this was a county town in the middle of the Yingxin Expressway. Chen Yekai did not dare toturn on his high-beam and just followed along at a distance on the national highway. He almost lost them several times, but Fu Liqun would always accurately point out the direction in which the other car had gone.
As the rain grew heavier and heavier, Zhou Sheng said, “We’ve nearly lost all visibility, where does that car want to go?”
“They’re familiar with this place.” Fu Liqun said, “Don’t know what place this is, I’ve never been here. Yu Hao, check the map……”
“It’s a mountain.” Yu Hao said, “It’s not a scenic spot. There are plantations below.”
It was pitch dark all around them, and the road was bumpy. There were barely any cars on the road now. Chen Yekai said, “The chassis of this car is too low.”

“Is it this place?” Zhou Sheng said.
“Yes!” Fu Liqun said, “I saw them drive toward the dirt road. Yu Hao, is there a village nearby?”
“No……” A chill suddenly ran down Yu Hao’s spine. In a dark, rainy night where you wouldn’t be able to see your fingers if you stretched your hand out, there was only one reason for bringing a hostage here—— to destroy the corpse and all traces of their crimes……
Chen Yekai suddenly stopped the car.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Liqun asked.
