Chapter 278
278 What Does It Mean?
Qiao Qiao also understood this. “Let’s go to the location and see what’s going on.”
Le Yao couldn’t wait, but after getting into the car, she still called Nangong Jue. However, she was notified that the call couldn’t be connected. In the end, she could only send a message and give up.
The Dan Mountain Bridge was a main road into and out of Xiling City. It was 1,300 meters long, and below it was the Xiling River, where the river flowed rapidly. The bridge was more than 50 meters above the river. One would feel dizzy just looking down from above.
When they arrived, they realized that the entire bridge had been sealed. They could only get out of the car from afar and walk over.
There were two salvage boats working in the river, and there were cranes on the shore. At this moment, they were lifting the police car that had fallen into the water away from the river. At the same time, they also found a corpse. It was a police officer in charge of escorting the police car. The other one who was still alive was driven away by an ambulance.
For the next few hours, nothing else was found.
Left with no choice, the police could only increase the search range and intensity.
“It’s a miracle she can still survive in such a situation.” Qiao Qiao clicked her tongue.
“What if someone helped her? Or what if someone deliberately caused this accident?” Le Yao looked at the busy figures on the river and frowned. How could the female lead die so easily?
“Are you talking about… Yang Jinxuan?”
Le Yao nodded. “He’s especially devoted to Yan Zimeng. How can he bear to let the woman he loves suffer?”
“But…” Qiao Qiao wanted to retort, but she seemed to realize something and sighed in the end. “Indeed, this matter is indeed strange.” Then, she immediately took out her phone and dialed a number. “Send someone to keep an eye on Yang Jinxuan.”
Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them returned. On the way, Qiao Qiao received a call from the Jiang family, so in the end, Le Yao returned to Long Ting by herself.
Strangely, it was already dark in Villa No. 1, but it was actually pitch-black. She couldn’t help but go up and knock on the door. In the end, no one came to open the door for a long time. She couldn’t help but shrug. He had probably moved. Sigh, she didn’t understand the world of the rich. Forget it, it was more peaceful like this.
At a secret location overseas.
Nangong Jue stood upright in the middle of a room.
An old man with a serious expression sat on the chair opposite him. On the table in front of him was a dark brown ring of unknown material. A tiger head was carved on the ring.
“Ah Jue.” The old man picked up the ring. “Do you know what it means to return the Tiger Head Ring?”
“It means that I’ll leave Area One and lose all the leadership of the troops in Area One.”
“Since you know, why are you still handing it over?” Guo Chuan slammed the table angrily. “Do you know how much effort and resources it took to nurture you to your current position?”
Nangong Jue was silent for a moment. “I mobilized the team without permission and violated the rules, so…”
“Then why did you mobilize the team?”
“To save someone.”
“Save who?”
“Save…” Nangong Jue suddenly looked up. “Save… the citizens.” That’s right, Lan was also a citizen.
“Is that wrong?”
Nangong Jue shook his head. “No.”
“Then go receive your punishment and get lost,” Guo Chuan said as he threw the ring forward.
Nangong Jue hurriedly caught the ring. After bowing, he turned around and went to the torture chamber.
