Chapter 851: Because I Can’t Afford to Gamble
Sheng Xiao glanced at him and gently moved his thin lips. “During this period of time, who has coincidentally appeared by your side?”
Tang Yan thought about it carefully for a few seconds and then closed his eyes. It seemed like he already knew what was going on.
“That’s why I sent Xu Che to your house.
“Xu Che went to find out what happened today. Cheng Bin got someone to wreck Professor Tang’s car. The car broke down midway and Cheng Bin’s men took the opportunity to come out and kidnap her. At this time, the police were alerted. In addition, the little detective you sent was pretty good. So, if this woman doesn’t appear, Cheng Bin’s plan will fail.
“She used such a long time to gain Feng Shanshan’s trust. She even saved Feng Shanshan on such an occasion and took the opportunity to bring her home. It was too easy.”
Thinking back to how he had attended the doctor’s lecture with Feng Shanshan not long ago, he felt like he might have been blind.
“Cheng Bin asked me to meet him tonight.”
With that, Tang Yan took out his phone and placed it in front of Sheng Xiao.
“But I don’t believe that Cheng Bin has Feng Shanshan at all.” Sheng Xiao glanced at the photo on his phone and answered Tang Yan. “Jin Bo sent Shen Yu over for Sheng Bowen’s case. He said it was a gift for Sheng Kai, but what’s the truth? He just found an excuse to attack the Sheng family. His real purpose should be to test my strength.”
“Now, Jin Bo sent another person to help Cheng Bin. His purpose was to get rid of you. I believe that. After all, we found a lot of suspicious points in Bai Xinyi’s case that were related to Jin Bo. He had reasons to get rid of you, but facts have proven that Jin Bo has a backup plan. Why did he hand Feng Shanshan over to Cheng Bin just to help him get revenge? What if Cheng Bin doesn’t get his revenge and you don’t get rid of him? Wouldn’t his plan be in vain?”
“So, Feng Shanshan… should be in this woman’s hands. Do you still remember that Qi’er gave Feng Shanshan a set of jewelry with a GPS system inside?”
At the mention of the GPS system, Tang Yan’s eyes instantly lit up. That was because the set of jewelry was still on Feng Shanshan’s body, and he had never let Feng Shanshan take it off.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone. However, Feng Shanshan’s GPS was not connected to the signal on his phone.
His heart sank once again.
Tang Yan put down his phone, closed his eyes again, and sorted out his thoughts.
“I have to go to the appointed location because I can’t afford to gamble. Sheng Xiao, you know that.”
If there was one person in this world who could understand the torment in his heart, that would be Sheng Xiao.
If Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi were gone from this world, these two men would be shells without a heart, just walking corpses.
“Of course you have to go, but you’re definitely not going to die.” Sheng Xiao looked at him with a determined gaze. “Do you remember what we talked about? Set a trap.”
Tang Yan had nothing now and did not care about anything.
Every second that Feng Shanshan was outside was akin to having oil poured on his heart.
“What do you think?”
“President, the police are here.” Before the two of them could say anything, Xu Che entered the door and interrupted them.
“Leave by the private elevator. I’ll call you on the way.”
Tang Yan nodded and immediately got up. He followed Xu Che and bypassed the police.
Then, Old Cheng came to the door. When he saw Sheng Xiao, he said respectfully, “President Sheng, I’m really sorry to bother you. Has Captain Tang been here?”
“He’s gone,” Sheng Xiao replied as he leaned back on the sofa.
“Then, did he say where he was going?”
“To save someone,” Sheng Xiao answered with three simple words.
“President Sheng, we’re just afraid that something might happen to Captain Tang and that Sister-in-law would be taken away. We’re also very worried, but impulsiveness won’t solve the problem.”
“Don’t worry. He’s not as weak as you think.” With that, Sheng Xiao got up and returned to his desk.
Actually, if he wanted to know if Feng Shanshan was in Cheng Bin’s hands, he just needed to bluff a little.
Then, Sheng Xiao asked the technical department to quickly increase the search for the locator on Feng Shanshan’s body.
..
Today was the day of the prenatal checkup. Logically speaking, Feng Shanshan would call Mu Qiqi after she was done with the checkup. However, it was already evening, and she still had not received any news from Feng Shanshan.
Sheng Xiao had already called Mama Sheng in the morning. He could not allow Mu Qiqi to even go near the television or mobile phone news.
However, this was the information age. Mama Sheng had tried her best to distract Mu Qiqi, but after dinner, she still said to Mama Sheng, “Mommy, I want to go down and see Feng Shanshan.”
“Didn’t Eighth Brother say that it’s better if you don’t go out?”
“But I can’t get through Feng Shanshan’s phone.” Mu Qiqi was a little worried. “She rarely does this.”
“She also has a husband and family. If something really happened, she would definitely tell you. Don’t worry. She’s pregnant now. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Go to sleep.” Mama Sheng looked at the time.
“Mommy, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Mama Sheng looked at Papa Sheng helplessly. Papa Sheng had an idea and immediately took out something.
“Since you can’t sleep now, come and look at the baby’s toys. I plan to build a paradise for my little grandson in the garden. These are my designs for the layout. Qiqi, take a look.”
Mu Qiqi saw the design and was immediately hooked.
Mama Sheng finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.
..
After nightfall, Jianchuan was extremely warm.
Tang Yan sneaked into the agreed upon abandoned field in advance. Then, he reached for the ceiling and installed a pinhole camera.
There was nothing in such an empty hall. Apart from under a table, there was nowhere to hide.
After observing the surroundings, Tang Yan left the abandoned field and leaned next to a garbage station not far away.
Tonight was the decisive battle between him and Cheng Bin.
It should have been resolved a long time ago. He only hated that when he was undercover back then, he did not kill this group of people. That was the reason for the current situation. The person he loved the most was being held hostage by this group of people.
Then, Sheng Xiao called. “I found an address near Cheng Bin’s house.”
“Send me the signal source and the address,” Tang Yan said softly over the phone. “I can’t wait any longer.”
“If you go to Cheng Bin’s house rashly, there will definitely be a trap. Do you think he doesn’t know what you’re thinking? Also, Xu Che just came back from that area and heard about something. A family lost a pregnant woman. They’ve already reported it to the police.”
What did this mean? Feng Shanshan was indeed not in Cheng Bin’s hands. In order to make it look real, Cheng Bin had captured someone else to replace her.
“If this is true, what do you plan to do about that innocent pregnant woman?”
Tang Yan’s hands trembled.
He could not let an innocent person die because of him. Feng Shanshan was his wife and his lover. If he could not escape in the end, at most, he would die for Feng Shanshan. But how could he return an innocent person?
After some thought, Tang Yan said in a deep voice, “Sheng Xiao, I can hold on until you come.”
