Chapter 21: Startling the Snake by Cutting the Grass

  It turned out that Huang Kai and others stayed up all night to ambush outside the Hilton Hotel, while Zhang Dechang took a few brothers to stare at Wendy in the hotel. Huang Kai and others did not gain anything, but Zhang Dechang and others followed Wendy and unexpectedly gained surprising results.

  Wendi was persuaded to drink by many leaders with Chinese characteristics at the wine party, which made him drink a bit too much. He stayed in the hotel for more than two hours before leaving. However, after he left, he did not return to the Hilton Hotel to rest, but instead wandered aimlessly along the street.

  Tragically, this guy had underestimated the power of Chinese white wine. In the darkness, the wind blew gently, and the lingering intoxication that was already almost gone suddenly surged up again. This is a characteristic of Chinese white wine known as "aftertaste" or "returning flavor", which brings on another wave of drunkenness. As a result, Wendy's vigilance dropped to a critical point, allowing Zhang Dechang's four men to follow him without being detected.

  In Wendy's heart, don't mention how furious he was. It was his first time attending a Chinese-style wine party. The leaders' words of persuasion were one after another, and it was impossible to resist. If it weren't for the sake of tomorrow night's event going smoothly, this kid would have probably flipped out on the spot.

  One of Zhang Dechang's subordinates was called Di Shu, this kid was the top tracker in Nanshan City, and there was no one else. He was the top existence here. After Wendy shook off three followers in a daze, she circled around before heading towards her true destination. However, he didn't notice that a figure would appear behind him from time to time, this figure was Di Shu, the ace tracker of Nanshan City.

  Wendi's figure finally arrived at the commercial center, just one street away from Nanshan City's First Museum, after circling around for over an hour, and ultimately returned to this place, which made the groundhog admire Wendi's vigilance and also more certain that this kid had ulterior motives.

  The business district is still bustling with people, after all, the nightlife has just begun for some groups of people. In this top-level commercial center in Nanshan City, there are countless shops and bars that operate overnight.

  The last thing that happened was beyond the mole's expectation, and Wendy actually came to a 24-hour gay bar. What followed was even more exciting for the mole, as he saw someone he had seen in a photo a long time ago - a woman, to be precise. A woman appeared in a gay bar, and what's more, she was dressed in a sloppy and unkempt manner. Things were getting more and more interesting.

  This unassuming woman was a big name on the police's wanted list, notorious as the Black Widow, specializing in human trafficking. Sixty percent of China's human trafficking business belonged to her. Once her identity was confirmed, an answer seemed imminent. This was where the kidnapping suspect was hiding, so he left behind over a dozen tiny listening devices before quietly exiting.

  He immediately called Zhang Dechang to report the situation, and Zhang Dechang quickly mobilized more intelligence personnel to investigate the background of the bar called Hellfire. At the same time, he dispatched more manpower to control all the exits of the bar, purely for surveillance, without making any arrests.

  Until dawn, Zhang Dechang got the answer he wanted. The real boss of this bar was Black Widow. After analysis by dozens of analysts, it is highly likely that this place is a node in Black Widow's human trafficking network. The kidnapping case in Nanshan City must be related to this woman. After confirming all this, Zhang Dechang immediately notified Huang Kai, which led to the subsequent capture action.

  Of course, the team leader was Zhang Dechang in name only. Huang Kai was still suspended from duty after all. When over a hundred special police officers surrounded the place to make arrests, they made quite a haul, and even unexpectedly found more than a dozen children locked up in the basement. One of them was the last missing boy in Nanshan City. The kidnapping case had finally achieved a phased victory, but unfortunately, during the arrest process, they accidentally let all the big fish slip away. And Wen Di, after being taken back by the police for routine questioning and finishing his statement, left the police station calmly.

  Huang Kai was reinstated as a result, and the case was reassigned to his team. After intense interrogation, three main suspects were identified, and Huang Kai released their photos at a meeting. With Nanshan City's vast and tight police network, good news is expected soon.

  "Get me reinforced police immediately, deploy all channels around the First Museum of South City. I always feel that fake Wendy is brewing some conspiracy, we must not let him succeed!" Among the people brought back, there were also Wendy and a handsome Asian boy, but homosexuality was not illegal, and since the real Wendy had not been found yet, despite Huang Kai's reluctance, they had to release him according to procedure.

  "Yes, chief!" The third group of police officers responded in unison. The team leader returned and found the kidnapped child, which was a major victory at this stage. Although the suspect is on the run, knowing the identity of the suspect makes it much easier to solve the case. The suffocating feeling that had been suppressed in their chests for several months was finally lifted!

  "Huang Zu, shall we... go see the boss of the Silver Palm?" The case took a major turn, Zhang Dechang had never forgotten Mo Xiuyao, and Chu Yan was ignored by himself. After all, there had been friction between Mo Xiuyao and them before, and now they had the opportunity to make amends. Zhang Dechang thought of this at the first moment.

  "Drive on, yes, take a good rest, Miss Mo... and that little kid." Huang Kai had never been a narrow-minded person, but the recent kidnapping case had put too much pressure on him. From his superiors to his colleagues, subordinates, and even the sharp-tongued media in Nanshan City, no one was not suffocating him with stress.

  Now, all the pressure has been lifted off Mo Xi Yao and Chu Yan. These two people have earned their thanks, especially Chu Yan. Although this kid isn't anything good, but with this case cracked, his contribution counts for more than half. Without him reminding me again, I think I'd still be at home resting and drinking tea!

  "Alright, okay." Zhang Dechang also had to admit that if it weren't for Chu Yan's serious reminder to carefully investigate Wendy, their case would probably still be at a dead end. Although he was unwilling, Zhang Dechang could only follow orders and take action.

  Silver Palm Coffee House, third floor, Mo Xi Yao's office.

  Huang Kai and Zhang Dechang sat opposite Mo Xiuyao with a serious face, this time the two people's gratitude was completely heartfelt.

  "Miss Mo, if it wasn't for your reminder this time, I'm afraid we would still be in a mess now. Here, on behalf of the Nanshan City Major Crimes Unit, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you, thank you!" Huang Kai stood up and gave Mo Xiuyao a neat bow, his gesture full of sincerity.

  "Director Huang, what's past is past, it's not a big deal. If you feel uneasy about it, you can do me a small favor." Mo Xiuyao said as she handed over a thick stack of documents "This is the Luo Dynasty Group's corporate data, I believe you'll find it very interesting after reading it."

  Mo Xiuyao's words were beyond doubt, Zhang Dechang took over the materials on one side, and after flipping through a few pages, an excited expression appeared on his face. "Miss Mo, thank you! With these, I believe those guys from the Economic Investigation Division will be very happy to invite our Major Crimes Unit to a big feast!"

  "Alright, good. It's getting late, I won't keep you two any longer, take your time." Mo Xiuyao smiled and nodded, those documents were something she had paid a high price to obtain, containing all the evidence of Ro Corporation's illegal and irregular activities, and the boss of Ro Corporation was none other than Luo Kai, who was currently lying in the hospital bed, having just woken up from his coma and still not out of danger.

  "If Miss Mo sees Chu Yan, please tell him that I, Huang Kai... thank... thank him, and take my leave." The two words "thank you" were said with great difficulty by Huang Kai, but he still managed to say them clearly. Mo Xiuyao nodded "Don't worry, I'll tell him myself."

  Huang Kai and Zhang Dechang felt the outside air was really fresh as soon as they stepped out of the Silver Palm's door. In front of Mo Xiuyao, it was a bit too oppressive. This woman didn't know what was going on, but she was emitting a murderous aura.

  They didn't know that Mo Xiuyao was conducting a cleanup operation, erasing anything related to Luo Kai. The first thing to do was to thoroughly destroy his Luo Dynasty Corporation. Of course, the Economic Investigation Bureau was just the beginning, and the real action had yet to start.

  "Yi Shan Corporation, a second-rate financial group in Japan, with a total capital of 30 billion yen." The data listed on the materials in her hand was very clear. Mo Xi Yao's face had a cold smile mixed with ruthless determination. "Yi Shan Corporation, let your downfall begin from Yi Shan Golf Club!"

  Shangri-La Hotel, Room 3399.

  Chu Yan watched the news on TV with a smile, and the kidnapping case that had been hanging over the heads of Nanshan City citizens for a long time finally dissipated. The third major crime unit made a breakthrough, dismantling the largest human trafficking den in Nanshan City and rescuing 17 kidnapped children, including the boy who had just gone missing in Nanshan City.

  However, the TV report did not reveal the real culprit in Chu Yan's heart, and Piks, the ticket scalper, was still at large. Unexpectedly, the serious crime unit of Nanshan City was able to find Piks, although they let him escape, but they obtained his image data. The development of things is much faster than I imagined.

  "If my inference is correct, this Wendy should be the most cunning Silver Mouse in the Bloody Scorpion. It's said that Silver Mouse and Golden Cat are inseparable, so who is the Golden Cat? This capture has already startled the snake, I believe Silver Mouse will be even more cautious." Chu Yan's worry only lasted for a moment, as he suddenly thought of something else.

  "Hehe, maybe this time we'll scare out a snake while cutting grass...it's not necessarily a bad thing..."
