Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Finding the Hostage

Zhou Hui, Qi Junya, and Han Yifei’s gazes instantly fell on Wu Hongling.

Wu Hongling lowered her head, recalling briefly and said, "Yes, I know the place. Master, do you mean the Zhao Family? Are you saying the Zhao Family kidnapped Zhao Yaqian to frame you?"

"It’s definitely Zhao Ding. No one else has this kind of power."

Chen Dashan confirmed.

Han Yifei, in her professional attire, seductive yet efficient, said coldly, "Zhao Ding knowingly broke the law, his crime is even greater!"

"His goal is to entangle you in a lawsuit, ideally to imprison you for a few years. Without you as the plaintiff, the biggest obstacle is gone. Then it would be a piece of cake for him to get Zhao Qiqiang released. Zhao Qiqiang’s detention period is almost up, and as far as I know, the witnesses we previously found have either been bought by the Zhao Family or have disappeared without a trace."

"Only the Zhao Qiqiang kidnapping case and the firearm possession case are still pending. As long as you don’t testify against Zhao Qiqiang, Zhao Ding can easily find a scapegoat, and Zhao Qiqiang will be free again."

"Humph!"

Chen Dashan snorted coldly, turning to Wu Hongling, "Contact the people. We are going to the Zhao Family now to rescue her."

"Don’t panic, it will be fine."

Chen Dashan reassured Zhou Hui and Qi Junya, then drove with Wu Hongling to an abandoned factory near Furong County.

After over half an hour.

Chen Dashan, along with Wu Hongling and the people from Feiyun Villa, arrived near the abandoned factory on the outskirts.

Wu Hongling said, "Master, it’s over there. Last time Zhao Qiqiang kidnapped Sister Zhou Hui, it was at this place. There’s actually a hidden door behind the factory. The Zhao Family secretly disposes of people and generally detains the kidnapped there. After handling them, they throw them in the river, and no one knows."

"It also eliminates all the evidence."

Chen Dashan squinted his eyes, looking at the pile of scrap metal and the overgrown weeds in front of him.

Last time it was midnight; he couldn’t see anything. Chen Dashan looked around, finding the place desolate with no one around for miles, indeed a perfect hidden spot.

"There are ambushes inside. Everyone, be careful!"

Chen Dashan instructed Wu Hongling, then took the lead and stepped into the abandoned chemical factory.

On the other side.

Inside the Furong County police station.

Sun Aoxue sat at her desk with her arms crossed, her face as gloomy as water, listening to her colleague’s report. Her willow-shaped brows knitted together, "You said Chen Dashan left with a large group of people and lost them en route?"

"Yes!"

The young male officer, staring at Sun Aoxue with a dodgy look, slightly blushed ears, occasionally stole a glance.

Sun Aoxue didn’t notice, pinching her pointed chin, racking her brains in thought.

"Smack!"

Sun Aoxue slapped the table in front of her, shouting, "Not good!"

"The victim is in danger, and this thug Chen Dashan, now taking people out, must be attempting to silence them. We need to rush to save them, or it will be too late!" Sun Aoxue finished speaking, grabbed her hat from the table, and headed out.

"Officer Sun, listen to me..."

The male officer followed closely, looking troubled.

Sun Aoxue didn’t give him a chance to speak and rushed out of the office swiftly, only to be blocked by the middle-aged director at the door who asked, "Officer Sun, where are you going?"

"The victim is in danger. I’m going to save him."

"Director, please assign more people to assist me!"

Sun Aoxue anxiously finished speaking, trying to make the director move aside. The director exhaled heavily, "Do you know who Chen Dashan is?"

"And how much do you know about Chen Dashan’s matters?"

"This is not the time for this,"

Sun Aoxue impatiently interrupted. The director nodded, "Then tell me, where do you plan to find Chen Dashan right now? Furong County isn’t big yet isn’t small, and finding someone who is hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack. By the time you find him, can you guarantee your victim will still be alive?"

Sun Aoxue was stunned.

The director said nothing more, turning back into his office. Chen Dashan was a special figure; Furong County’s slum area development needed him, Chenwang Pharmaceutical provided jobs for the people of Furong County, and Chen Dashan’s jewelry store bolstered Furong County’s reputation. His film and television city plus nightclubs were also major taxpayers for Furong County.

He also had the support of County Magistrate Zhu, but just now, Director Zhao from the power bureau also called, insisting on properly handling Chen Dashan’s case.

He couldn’t offend either side but also couldn’t do nothing.

"Officer Sun, what do we do now?" Seeing the director leave, the young officer asked softly.

Sun Aoxue frowned, "Forget it!"

"Starting now, I’ll personally keep an eye on Chen Dashan until he’s taken down and captured, giving the people of Furong County an explanation."

After saying this, Sun Aoxue took her hat and went straight out of the police station, with the young officer jogging to catch up. Sun Aoxue said, "You don’t need to follow me, too many people will alert them." She didn’t look at the young officer, got in the car, closed the door, and the car sped off like an arrow from the bow.

"This Officer Sun has never experienced the harshness of society!"

"Young people are like that, full of enthusiasm, and feel like they can save the world..."

"Say no more, Officer Sun is indeed the beauty of our station."

"Don’t even think about it, don’t you see even the director doesn’t dare talk to her loudly? She is here for training and has a background; she’ll return once it’s over..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

...

On the other side.

Chen Dashan, carrying Wu Hongling, forged ahead through thorns and finally broke through the defensive line, finding the underground hideout.

"Clang..." The iron door made a sharp, piercing noise. Chen Dashan unlocked the chains on the door, and a wave of cool, pungent smell hit them. Wu Hongling frowned, covering her mouth and nose, and whispered behind Chen Dashan, "I thought the basement at Feiyun Villa was unbearable. I didn’t expect Zhao Ding’s place to be even worse. This place still has discarded chemical dyes and a rotten stench. He doesn’t plan on letting anyone leave here alive."

Wu Hongling finished speaking and bent over, stretching her neck, took out her phone to turn on the flashlight, and continued walking inside.

It was not so much a basement as a damp underground cave. The walls were falling apart, revealing stones and soil. The deeper they went, the damper and colder it became.

"Who?"

"Who is it?"

A familiar male voice called out. Chen Dashan squinted his eyes, and in the dim light, a disheveled, blood-stained man turned to face them.

"Li Xiaobao?"

Chen Dashan immediately recognized Li Xiaobao. Li Xiaobao squinted, the bright white light making him uncomfortable. Hearing Chen Dashan’s voice, he jumped up in fright, running behind Zhao Yaqian, screaming hysterically, "You, you, you stay away, Chen Dashan, stay away."

"If you come closer, I’ll kill her!"
