Chapter 1761: Trying to Leave the Country
As soon as he drove into a remote street, Zhou Hong's car was suddenly stopped by a black off-road vehicle. Immediately afterwards, the van quickly followed and clamped her vehicle in the middle. Zhou Hong suddenly realized that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly picked up her phone and wanted to call Qin Yuan, but before it was connected, the car door had been roughly opened by several fully armed gang members.
"Who are you? What do you want to do!" Zhou Hongqiang pretended to be calm, but his voice could not stop trembling.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous, just ask you to meet an old friend." A man in the lead sneered, holding a short knife in his hand, and the sharp blade shone with a cold light under the dim street light.
Zhou Hong tried to resist, but was soon forcibly dragged out of the car by them, then blindfolded by a piece of black cloth and threw it into the back seat of the van. The van started quickly and disappeared into the night, leaving only Zhou Hong's stopped car parked alone on the side of the road.
A few minutes later, a passerby passed by and saw the cars parked on the side of the road and the traces of struggle on the ground. When he found something strange, he immediately called the police.
At the same time, Qin Yuan had just finished the phone call with Li Cheng and was about to return to the dormitory to rest when he suddenly received a call from a strange number. After he picked it up, a cold laugh came from the opposite side.
"Instructor Qin, thank you for your hard work, you have been worried about this game recently." The other party's voice was low and hoarse, with a chill, "But you seem a little too proud."
"Who are you?" Qin Yuan's tone was calm, but there was a trace of danger in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Zhou Hong is in my hands now." The other party's words were obviously threatened, "She is safe and has not been injured yet, but next, it depends on your attitude Now."
Qin Yuan's brows frowned tightly, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone was cold: "What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple." The other party chuckled, "Stop interfering in our affairs with Xinhui Group, especially stopping the pursuit of the Black Hawk. Otherwise, Zhou Hong... might not be so lucky."
"Do you think using her to threaten me can make me retreat?" Qin Yuan's tone was like cold ice, but there was a sharp murderous aura in his eyes.
The other party was silent for a second, and then said, "Instructor Qin, I know you are very capable, but you must understand that the opponent this time is not something you can deal with easily. If you insist on intervening, the consequences will not be just Zhou Hong, but you even Everyone around you will be involved.”
The phone suddenly hung up, Qin Yuan's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, his eyes cold. He knew that the other party wanted to shake his determination through this kidnapping, but at the same time, it was also an opportunity to directly expose the enemy's intentions.
In less than ten minutes, Li Cheng called: "Instructor Qin, we received a call and found that Zhou Hong's car was abandoned in a remote street in the city. Judging from the traces, she may have been kidnapped. ”
"I just received a call from the kidnappers." Qin Yuan said in a low tone, "They are the remnants of the Black Claw Gang, and asked us to stop the pursuit of the Black Hawk and Xinhui Group, otherwise Zhou Hong would be in danger."
"Damn it!" Li Cheng whispered, "These people are getting more and more crazy. What should we do now?"
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Immediately expand the blockade range, retrieve all surrounding surveillance, and focus on finding the whereabouts of suspicious vehicles. I need all possible clues and be sure to find their hiding point in the shortest time."
Li Cheng responded decisively: "I understand, I'll make arrangements here. Where is your side?"
"I will lead the team to stand by at any time. Once the location is confirmed, take action directly." Qin Yuan's voice showed an unquestionable decision, "They took the risk of kidnapping Zhou Hong this time, which exposed their lack of confidence. Now we are fighting back. Best chance."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan quickly summoned Zhang Chu, Yue Ming and other special police members. After briefly explaining the kidnapping situation, he said coldly: "There is only one goal in this mission - to rescue Zhou Hong, and at the same time completely dismantle the remnants of the Black Claw Gang. The hostage safety must be ensured during the operation, do you understand?"
Everyone stood attentively and replied in unison: "I understand!"
At the same time, Duan Jinglin used remote technical means to retrieve the surveillance video around Zhou Hong's vehicle and tracked the vehicle trajectory, quickly locking the whereabouts of the van.
"Instructor, I locked in the kidnapper's route." Duan Jinglin said through his headphones. "They finally appeared in an abandoned factory area in the northern suburbs of the city. The terrain is complex and it is very suitable for hiding."
"Very good." Qin Yuan nodded, "Continue to monitor and make sure they don't transfer their targets."
A few minutes later, Qin Yuan and the special police team rushed to the abandoned factory. After approaching the target area, they quietly got out of the car and used the night and terrain to gradually approach the periphery of the factory.
Through the night vision device, Qin Yuan found that several gang members were patrolling with guns outside the factory, and the lights inside the factory emitted through the dilapidated windows, and the conversations of several people were vaguely heard.
"Zhang Chu, Yue Ming, you are responsible for the sentries on both sides of the left and right sides, and the others follow me to break in front. Remember, the action must be quick and you must never give them the chance to hurt the hostages." Qin Yuan whispered the task.
Zhang Chu and Yue Ming nodded, each circling to the sides, and quietly approaching the target.
"Bang! Bang!" Two muffled sounds, and the two sentries fell down almost at the same time, without sending any alarm.
Qin Yuan led the other team members to quickly break into the factory, pointing the gun accurately at the gang members inside the house. He yelled softly: "Police! Don't move!"
The gang members in the house were panicked, and some people tried to resist, but were quickly subdued by Qin Yuan and the team members.
In the corner, Zhou Hong was tied to a chair, her mouth sealed with tape, and her face was obviously terrified. Qin Yuan rushed to her side at the first time, quickly cut the rope, and helped her up.
"It's okay." Qin Yuan whispered, with a rare gentleness in his eyes, "You are safe."
Zhou Hong's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled: "Instructor Qin, thank you... They said they wanted to kill me, I..."
Qin Yuan gently patted her shoulder: "You are very strong. Now, leave it to us."
Just then, a gang member suddenly struggled to get up from the ground and tried to grab a gun to fight back. Qin Yuan's eyes turned cold, and the gun in his hand quickly raised up. With a muffled sound, the bullet accurately hit the opponent's wrist, and the gun fell to the ground.
"Be honest." Qin Yuan said coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
After the factory was thoroughly cleaned up, all gang members were escorted back to the police.
After the arrest operation, the special police team escorted all gang members to the interrogation room of the police task force. Qin Yuan personally participated in the interrogation. He knew that only by getting these people to speak could the forces behind the scenes be completely destroyed.
In the interrogation room, the big guy and several gang members were detained separately. Qin Yuan walked into the room and faced the main planner of the kidnapping operation, a tall and thin man. He had a tired look on his face, but there was still a bit of cunning in his eyes.
"What's your name?" Qin Yuan asked coldly.
"My name is Wang Zhi..." the man replied in a low voice.
Qin Yuan smiled slightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "Wang Zhi, do you know how many years you can be imprisoned for the charges of kidnapping, extortion, and intimidation? Especially for a public figure, and cooperating with the gang to carry out illegal activities."
Wang Zhi's face changed slightly, but he still said stubbornly: "I... I just followed orders and didn't know so much."
Qin Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he pushed a document on the table in front of him: "What you don't know, I can slowly let you know. This is the communication record we found in your warehouse, which clearly records the connection between you and Xinhui Group Liu Zifeng. Do you think that as long as your leader "Black Hawk" doesn't show up, you can get away with it?"
Wang Zhi's face turned pale instantly. He obviously didn't expect that the police had so much evidence.
"I tell you, Liu Zifeng is already in our sight. If you don't say it, he will say it. But for you, there is only one chance - either cooperate with us and strive to reduce the punishment; or go down with the other people in the Black Claw Gang to take the blame." Qin Yuan's voice was like ice, directly breaking Wang Zhi's last psychological defense line.
Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay... I'll tell you. We were indeed instructed by Liu Zifeng. He gave 'Black Hawk' a large sum of money to let us do the dirty work for him. His goal is to bring down Zhou Hong's company so that he can swallow up her market share."
"How to do it specifically?" Qin Yuan asked.
Wang Zhi whispered: "Kidnapping is just one step... More importantly, Liu Zifeng also transferred a large amount of illegal funds through the Black Claw Gang to open up some relationships, and at the same time threatened and bribed several senior executives in Zhou Hong's company, trying to cause an internal collapse."
"Illegal funds?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me clearly, where did the money come from and how was it transferred?"
"He cashed out through fake accounts and transferred the company's overseas funds to China, disguised as legal investment. He also found several shell companies to help launder money, and 'Black Hawk' was responsible for receiving these funds to pay for our activities." Wang Zhi spoke quickly, obviously not daring to conceal any details.
Qin Yuan nodded and smiled coldly: "Very good, that's what I need. Go on, do you know the whereabouts of 'Black Hawk'?"
Wang Zhi hesitated and finally shook his head: "I... really don't know. He never told us these things, but only gave orders through the phone or middlemen."
Qin Yuan stared at him for a few seconds and said coldly: "You'd better not lie, otherwise you know the consequences yourself."
Wang Zhi immediately nodded repeatedly, his tone trembling: "Everything I said is true! I am only responsible for following orders. We, the grassroots people, don't know the whereabouts of 'Black Hawk' at all!"
Qin Yuan got up and left, turning to Li Cheng next to him and said: "What he confessed is enough. You can follow the clues and start from the accounts and shell companies where the funds flow into, and directly lock in the illegal transactions of Xinhui Group."
Li Cheng nodded and immediately convened the financial investigation team to track the fund transfers confessed by Wang Zhi. Soon, the police locked in several companies involved in illegal transactions through the flow of funds and account information, and obtained the false contracts signed privately by Liu Zifeng and the evidence of his fund transfers.
Two days later, the police launched a surprise operation against Xinhui Group. Based on the sufficient evidence collected, Liu Zifeng and several senior managers were arrested according to law. The police seized a large number of illegal account books in the safe of the group's headquarters, further verifying the fact that they participated in the money laundering of the Black Claw Gang.
After the arrest operation, the police held a press conference to disclose the criminal behavior of Xinhui Group. This news caused a huge shock in the business community, and Zhou Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood in her office, looking at the pictures in the news report, and said to Qin Yuan: "Instructor Qin, if it weren't for you, my company would have been ruined long ago."
Qin Yuan smiled faintly, and his tone was calm: "This is our responsibility. However, this battle is not over yet. 'Black Hawk' has not been arrested yet, and he is still the biggest hidden danger."
Zhou Hong's face changed, and then nodded: "But I believe that as long as you are here, he can't escape."
In the following days, the police conducted a comprehensive clearance of the remnants of the Black Claw Gang. Duan Jinglin also successfully intercepted a communication from the Black Hawk through technical means. He is planning to rebuild his power and try to leave the country.
After learning the news, Qin Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice. He said in a deep voice: "This is the last game. No matter where he runs, I will catch him back in person this time."
When the police successfully arrested Liu Zifeng and the core senior executives of Xinhui Group, the case entered a critical stage. Through a large amount of evidence and Wang Zhi's confession, the Black Claw Gang's network was gradually revealed, but the gang leader "Black Hawk" is still like a poisonous snake, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move.
A few days later, Duan Jinglin intercepted a key communication information through technical means. The message comes from Black Hawk's satellite phone, which is brief but deadly: "Plan to restart and arrange for departure."
"Instructor," Duan Jinglin was on the other end of the phone, with an excitement and a hint of nervousness, "I tracked down the communication signal of 'Black Hawk'. Although he used satellite encryption, he did not expect that he would leave a brief exposure when switching. Signal. I have positioned him at the specific location – he is on the southeast border and is ready to leave through private channels.”
Qin Yuan sat in the conference room of the task force, tapping the table with his fingers gently, his eyes like a blade: "The southeastern border...it seems that he wants to escape abroad and continue to develop his power."
Li Cheng immediately responded: "If the Black Hawk escapes abroad, our arrest will become extremely complicated. We must act before he leaves."
Qin Yuan nodded and said decisively: "There can't be any mistake this time. Duan Jinglin, keep an eye on his signal and update the location in real time. Li Cheng, you are responsible for allocating the police force on the border. I will lead the team directly to the southeast border to cooperate with the operation .”
Li Cheng agreed, "I understand, I will contact the border armed police for support immediately."
Two days later, Qin Yuan led a special combat team composed of Zhang Chu, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin to a small town on the southeastern border. This place is close to the border line, with a complex terrain and surrounded by mountains and forests and small ports, making it an ideal choice for criminals to smuggle.
