The ambulance didn't have its emergency lights on at the time, he didn't pay much attention, but now that he thinks about it, it seems very suspicious...
He immediately drove towards the Great River Second Bridge direction. Although quite some time had passed, he hoped he could still find some clues. Just then, he received another call.
The phone was in the holder next to the steering wheel, and the caller ID showed "unknown number." Qian Guran put on his Bluetooth headset to answer it, but suddenly braked hard, nearly crashing into the curb.
...
The call was from He Kao.
He Kao's voice was a bit weak and slightly panting. Although he couldn't speak recklessly, his tone conveyed a certain message: "Old Qian, it's me, He Kao. I'm sorry, it's so late, are you asleep?"
Qian Guran: "Where are you? Xiaopang called me earlier; he went to find you but discovered you were missing, and you didn't even take your phone... The neighbors said you were taken by an ambulance. What happened?"
Upon hearing it was He Kao on the other end, Old Qian hit the brakes hard and immediately started a long string of rapid-fire information, so fast that He Kao couldn't get a word in.
After Old Qian finished, He Kao continued: "We'll talk about the other stuff later. First, let me ask you, do you still remember that night, September 30th, when we were having tea on my rooftop, what you saw?
You asked me what it was at the time, and I said it was from the bank safety deposit box, my father's relic from twenty years ago, do you still remember what those things were?"
He Kao's speech was not fast, but each sentence was tightly linked, making him seem somewhat anxious, leaving no room for Qian Guran to interject.
Qian Guran: "Don't you know yourself? Why are you asking me?"
He Kao: "The stuff isn't on hand, and I can't recall some details, so I'm asking you."
Qian Guran: "There are a pair of golden paperweights, each weighing more than ten pounds, and a property deed. As for details, let me think… the paperweights have an engraved plum blossom.
The property deed is for a house in Guanliu District, building 10, apartment 602, a four-room, two-bath layout, over 180 square meters. It's a great place; a few years ago, second-hand homes there sold for over fifty thousand per square meter, and even now, it must be nearly forty thousand.
Why are you asking about this, trying to impress some young nurse, trying to woo her? Afraid she won't believe you, so you're having me confirm? Which hospital are you in, and is your health okay, need me to bring over a box of condoms?"
He was even joking by the end.
He Kao: "Yes! Bring them over."
Qian Guran was stunned: "You really want them?"
He Kao coughed and caught his breath before saying: "Just kidding... Do you recall anything else from the safety deposit box?"
Qian Guran: "Nothing else, that's all I saw. Did you lose them? Where exactly are you, and what are you doing?"
He Kao: "I'm not at the hospital, I'm with President E."
Qian Guran's tone suddenly rose eight octaves: "Ah, you're with President E? No wonder you disappeared, and even President E couldn't contact you! In the middle of the night, you two…"
Saying this, his voice suddenly lowered, sounding cryptic, "…really got together? Then what's with the ambulance? You guys are playing quite a game, be careful not to get someone killed!"
He Kao seemed a bit helpless: "Old Qian, President Qian, can you do me a favor?"
Qian Guran: "In such matters, besides bringing condoms, what else can I help with?"
He Kao: "We ran into a situation and need a favor. It's awkward to ask anyone else, so we have to come to you, could you come over?"
Qian Guran: "Called me over in the middle of the night, you must at least explain what it is, right?"
He Kao: "It's a bit inconvenient to say, but you'll know once you get here."
Qian Guran: "Where are you guys then?"
He Kao: "This thing, anyway, I can't explain it clearly, you'll know when you get to Sanxi Bridge, Jiangbei District."
Qian Guran: "Sanxi Bridge, Jiangbei District? Calling me out in the middle of the night, I'm a vice president, your leader!"
He Kao: "That's exactly why you're the leader. When we're in trouble, if we don't come to you, who else would we go to?"
"Find…" At this point, Qian Guran suddenly paused, changing his tone, "Forget it, I'll just come once, see what tricks you're playing, and I'll settle accounts with you later!"
The call was hung up first from that side, and as Qian Guran was thinking of making another call, Xiaopang's call came in. With a sigh, as soon as Qian Guran accepted it, he immediately said without waiting for Xiaopang to speak, "Xiaopang, I know where they are!
It's over at your old home, the abandoned amusement park Joy Valley. That day when we were having tea on the rooftop, I even asked what that place was, how come there was a Ferris wheel...
Listen, I think they might have been kidnapped. The one's who kidnapped them aren't simple, can even sense things through the wall without seeing, and have many other means!
I'm heading over now, trying to figure out a way to rescue them or at least find the exact location. If you can't contact me, or if I send you a signal, then report to the police... Anyway, don't act rashly, if it's really no good, then call the police."
Qian Guran spoke to Huang Xiaopang because he had somewhat figured out Xiaopang's identity. Within such a short time, Xiaopang had rushed over to President E's house, even if driving fast in the middle of the night; it was too quick.
Earlier at the apartment where He Kao vanished, Xiaopang had claimed to use a key to enter. However, apart from the key left by He Kao, Qian Guran hadn't found any keys on Xiaopang, which was also an obvious flaw.
...
The phone was taken away, Xiaotao tapped He Kao's forehead with his knuckles, saying: "You rascal, you're not being very honest!"
He Kao shrank back as much as possible: "What's the matter, didn't I say everything according to your requirements?"
Xiaotao: "I suspect there's more to what you just said. Now tell me honestly, who do you think is the prime suspect for Hidden Moth, is it Qian Guran?"
He Kao: "After hearing about this, I think everyone is a suspect, of course, I have also suspected him."
Xiaotao: "Besides him, who else?"
He Kao: "Everyone's a suspect!"
Xiaotao turned and walked towards Gao Xue'e, who was held at knife-point, wearing a mischievous smile: "Miss, I heard that a plate of apples in your house turned into oranges at midnight.
Now please think carefully, among those you know, who is most likely to do such a thing? You must give me an answer, and it must be a well-reasoned one. If not something satisfactory, I'll cut your face!"
Gao Xue'e, with the blade pressed against her cheek, was so terrified she dared not move. Beside her, He Kao hurriedly said: "You asked to make a call, it's been made already, what else do you want?"
"Did I ask for your opinion?" Xiaotao turned around, raising his hand to deliver a slap to He Kao…
Just then, from the direction of the main door outside the building, there suddenly came a loud explosion, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering and screams. The people inside instantly rushed out, and those in the corridor also headed towards the atrium.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, and everyone's attention was focused on that location. Meanwhile, at the end of the corridor behind them, a figure appeared, slightly chubby, holding an assault rifle in both hands!
The individual seemed to appear out of nowhere, wearing an animated mask of Sun Wukong. As soon as he appeared, he unhesitatingly pulled the trigger on the backs of the crowd.
