160: Chapter 160 Qin Yi escapes, Ye Ziming is suppressed by bloodline
He personally escorted Chen Mo, who had been shot twice and appeared somewhat listless, into an ambulance, which sped toward the Armed Police General Hospital.
Qin Yi had not left during this time.
He sat quietly in the driver's seat, the 'bionic disguise mask' on his face already retracted into his System Space.
On his phone screen, he watched the real-time feed transmitted by the Miniature Bionic Tracker.
Only when he saw Chen Mo being loaded into the ambulance with his hands cuffed behind his back did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason Qin Yi hadn't left was partly out of concern that leaving now would arouse the suspicion of Sun Yizhong and the other police officers.
On the other hand, he was also worried that if Chen Mo tried to escape again, these police officers probably wouldn't be able to stop his 'Lost Ghost Steps'.
By staying here, he might be able to intervene if necessary.
Watching the departing ambulance on the real-time feed, Qin Yi frowned again, his doubts surging like a tide: How did the police suddenly appear here?
He hadn't called the police.
Could it be that they had been tracking Chen Mo for a long time and followed him here?
That seemed unlikely; he had followed Chen Mo closely here and hadn't spotted any police cars.
Moreover, if the police had been tracking Chen Mo for a long time, they would surely have tracked him, too...
Qin Yi fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the steering wheel, a look of confusion on his face.
He felt as if he had fallen into a huge mystery, his thoughts tangled like hemp, yet he couldn't find the thread.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally shook his head helplessly and temporarily gave up the idea of delving further into this issue.
Qin Yi pondered to himself: "Forget it. Since Chen Mo has already been captured by the police, whether they can extract any valuable information from him depends on their capabilities. It's just a pity that Brother Dao was killed by Chen Mo in the end; I suppose that's just fate. However, even if the police can't get anything out of him, it doesn't matter. If it really comes to that, I'll just anonymously send the video recorded by the Miniature Bionic Tracker to the police. The only thing is, I don't know if the police would dare to actually investigate Zhao Lintai. It was out of this concern that he didn't choose to call the police immediately. After all, judging from what Shen Jianan told him, even within the police force, it might not be entirely clean..."
With this thought, Qin Yi exited the Miniature Bionic Tracker app, then started the car.
He didn't choose to return the way he came, but drove straight ahead instead.
Although this route was a bit of a detour, at least it would avoid running into the police head-on.
Qin Yi drove, passing through woods and alleys, turning from narrow, uneven country roads onto provincial highways, and then merging onto the national highway.
After this long detour, he finally drove onto the inner ring elevated road.
Qin Yi glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
He wondered if Qin Xiaoyue had successfully finished moving.
With this thought, he steered with one hand and dialed Qin Xiaoyue's number with the other.
The phone rang in the car, and after three or four rings, it was finally answered.
However, before Qin Xiaoyue could speak, his mother's affectionate voice came from the other end: "Xiao Yue, ask your brother if he's coming back for dinner? Do we need to save some food for him?"
Qin Yi was slightly stunned at first, then a warm smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, I got it, Auntie." Qin Xiaoyue's voice came from the other end, followed by the sound of 'tap, tap, tap' footsteps.
Qin Yi just wanted to speak when Qin Xiaoyue complained with a hint of coyness: "Stinky Qin Yi, you finally knew to give me a call! Speak! Where have you been all morning? Tell me the truth!"
The curve of Qin Yi's mouth deepened.
He replied with a light laugh: "Haha, didn't I tell you? I suddenly had something urgent to attend to and couldn't get away. Have you finished moving your things back?"
"Hmph, men are just unreliable!" Qin Xiaoyue stamped her feet in anger, then muttered in feigned annoyance, "At critical moments, I still have to rely on my sister-in-law!"
"Uh, your sister-in-law?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized with a smile, "Oh, haha, you asked Qianqian for help?"
"What else? If I waited for you, the day lilies would have wilted!" Qin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Qin Yi shook his head with a smile.
He had long been accustomed to his sister's temper.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I'm on my way back now. Tell Mom not to save any food for me. You guys get ready; when I get back, we'll go check out the office building at the Bund Center together."
"Oh? Is that the office building Manager Bai mentioned this morning?" Qin Xiaoyue's tone softened significantly, and she asked curiously.
"Yes, that's it." Qin Yi nodded. "I should be back in about twenty minutes, you guys get ready."
"Hehe, alright!" Qin Xiaoyue responded readily. "Drive safely, Brother. Hanging up!"
Qin Yi responded, and the call was disconnected.
Immediately after, he called Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was taking a lunch break in her office.
Seeing that it was a call from Qin Yi, she didn't hesitate and answered immediately.
As soon as the call connected, Bai Lu's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
"Yes, it's me." Qin Yi replied with a smile, "Does Manager Bai have time this afternoon? Shall we go check out the two floors of office space you mentioned this morning?"
"Okay, Mr. Qin." Bai Lu's voice clearly carried a hint of joy and impatience. "I have time. When shall we go?"
"I should be back at the residential complex in about twenty minutes." Qin Yi estimated the time. "My parents are coming along too. You go wait for me in the underground garage later. You can ride in my car, and we'll go check it out together."
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Qin." Bai Lu replied. "See you later then."
"Yes, see you later." With that, Qin Yi hung up the phone and continued to focus on driving his vehicle quickly along the inner ring elevated road.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng strode out of the National Security Modu Branch with her characteristic dashing gait, followed closely by four men in SWAT uniforms.
The five of them quickly split into two cars, their red and blue police lights flashing, breaking the tranquility of the afternoon as they sped away from the National Security Modu Branch toward the Armed Police General Hospital.
In the car, Ye Qingcheng sat in the back, one leg elegantly crossed, her brow exuding an undeniable heroic spirit.
She took out her phone, her fingers sliding gently across the screen as she dialed her younger brother Ye Ziming's number.
At this moment, Ye Ziming was in the lounge of the Flying Dragon Supercar Club.
Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun were also there, the two of them discussing the club's future plans, while Ye Ziming was wearing a cheeky grin, pestering Xing Zhenkun, still trying to get Shen Jianan's contact information from him.
"That grandson is calling again... That grandson is calling again..." An abrupt ringtone interrupted their conversation.
Ye Ziming's brows furrowed slightly, a flash of impatience crossing his face as he slowly took his phone out of his pocket.
However, when he saw the words "Sister" flashing on the screen, his expression instantly turned solemn.
He swallowed nervously, and the cheeky look on his face vanished without a trace.
He quickly made a shushing gesture to Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun, who were still talking.
Seeing this, the two thought something major had happened and immediately stopped talking, looking at him curiously.
Next, Ye Ziming took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous mood, and adjusted his facial expression to make his voice sound as natural as possible: "Hey, Sis, how do you have time to call me..."
At this moment, Ye Ziming was completely different from his usual carefree Young Master image, his tone filled with respect for his sister.
On the other end of the line, Ye Qingcheng looked at the streetscape of Modu outside the car window, a meaningful curve at the corners of her mouth, and said casually: "What, it's been so long since I contacted you, have you forgotten that you have a sister like me?"
Ye Ziming felt a tightening in his heart and quickly put on a smile, fawning: "Hey, how could that be? I've always wanted to contact you, Sis, but you know there are regulations, right? We can't just call whenever we want. I've been suppressing my longing for you, Sister, and didn't dare to disturb you."
"Is that so?" Ye Qingcheng's tone carried a hint of teasing. "But how come I heard that you've been living quite freely lately? Beijing couldn't contain you anymore, so you ran to Modu to be wild?"
Ye Ziming was shocked when he heard this, his eyes flickering involuntarily, and he quickly defended himself: "No way... I really came to Modu for serious business, how can you call it being wild... Who is slandering me like that? I'll tear their mouth apart!"
"Is that so?" Ye Qingcheng retorted, her tone filled with deep suspicion, and continued to mock: "I really didn't expect you to have any serious business. Tell me, where are you now?"
"Uh, I'm at... at this... that..." Ye Ziming stammered for a long time, his eyes shifting, and in the end, he didn't have the courage to say the words "Flying Dragon Supercar Club".
How could Ye Ziming's such abnormal performance escape Ye Qingcheng?
Her face darkened, and her voice suddenly became serious: "Ye Ziming, tell me honestly, are you playing with cars again?"
Ye Qingcheng's sudden change in tone made Ye Ziming jump in fright.
He quickly denied it, his voice trembling slightly: "No! Sis, I really was just watching my friends play on the side..."
By the end, his voice was almost inaudible, as if even he didn't believe his own lie.
"Hmph," Ye Qingcheng snorted coldly on the other end, clearly not believing Ye Ziming's nonsense.
"You'd better just be watching. If I find out you're back on the track racing, see how I deal with you!"
As she said this, her other hand clenched tightly, making a 'crack, crack...' sound.
Ye Ziming looked helpless, a fine layer of sweat already oozing from his forehead, and even his voice began to tremble.
He responded sheepishly: "Yes, yes, yes, how would I dare..."
Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun, who were watching him from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ye Ziming rolled his eyes at them helplessly and walked a bit further away with his phone.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng said on the other end of the line: "Let me tell you, I've come to Modu too. I'll send you an address later; come have dinner with me tonight, got it?"
"What? Sis, you've come to Modu too?" Ye Ziming widened his eyes, looking terrified.
"Why are you so surprised?" Ye Qingcheng frowned with dissatisfaction, her tone carrying a hint of teasing and displeasure.
"Only you are allowed to come to Modu to be wild, but I'm not?"
"Uh, no... no..." Ye Ziming quickly waved his hands to deny it, then hurriedly changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment and panic.
"I was just curious. Weren't you on a mission abroad? How did you suddenly come back?"
"The mission is finished, so naturally I'm back. Alright, don't ask too much about my affairs!"
Ye Qingcheng didn't want to explain her whereabouts too much and urged, "Remember! You must be there tonight! Don't give me any excuses to dodge it! Besides, you're not young anymore; it's time you understood a bit of social etiquette! Let me tell you, tonight is a family dinner, take some time to buy some gifts to bring with you!"
Ye Ziming responded with a bitter face: "Uh... I have to buy gifts? Then what about you?"
"I naturally have other things to be busy with, where would I have time to buy things?!" Ye Qingcheng replied irritably.
"Alright, alright, that's it for now. Remember not to buy anything too cheap; it'll be embarrassing!"
After speaking, she didn't wait for Ye Ziming to reply and hung up the phone directly.
Immediately after, she forwarded the address Shen Zhendong had given her to Ye Ziming.
