Chapter 1613: Chapter 1613: Arrest
Quickly carrying Sun Yufeng outside, he only realized when he reached the entrance of the secret passage. First, he settled Sun Yufeng in the space, then exited the secret passage, restored everything to its original state, and struggled for quite a while before leaving the warehouse.
Avoiding people, he reached the side door, saw the old man who was guarding the door go to relieve himself by the base of the wall, and quickly exited the valve factory through the side door.
He sat in the car for a long time trying to calm himself down.
Quickly taking out his phone, he dialed Lu Yichen’s number: "Brother Chen, it’s me."
"Qiaoqiao, where are you now?"
"I’m outside the east gate of the valve factory. Find a safe place now. I have something important to tell you, something very important."
Hearing his footsteps, then the sound of a door closing: "Go ahead, I’m back in the office."
Only then did Luo Qiao recount everything that happened after she arrived at the valve factory, not omitting the matter between Old Cai and Leng Lamei, as it might also be related to those secret rooms.
After listening to Luo Qiao, Lu Yichen said: "Qiaoqiao, find a safe place to stay first. I’ll arrange some things and come over immediately."
After hanging up, Lu Yichen promptly reported to his superiors, got instructions, and made some new arrangements.
Then, taking his men, he quickly arrived at the outskirts of the valve factory, ordering everyone to move in groups. After hiding according to the pre-arranged plan and reporting their positions, he said, "Do not act without orders."
After everyone dispersed, Lu Yichen then walked towards Luo Qiao’s car.
To avoid alerting anyone about finding Fengfeng, Luo Qiao hadn’t informed anyone other than Lu Yichen, including Stone and Guan Yuqi.
After getting into the car, Lu Yichen said sternly, "You really are too bold. What if there were other people in there?"
Luo Qiao smiled, "Sorry, I was just afraid they might harm Fengfeng, so I took some risks. But you know my skills, and besides, it ended well, so don’t be mad."
Lu Yichen reached out and tousled her hair, "You never make it easy for me."
Since Luo Qiao was involved and provided crucial information, and since he needed her to lead them to the secret room later, he told her everything he could.
Luo Qiao said, "If that’s the case, the Ning Family might also be involved. But from what Leng Lamei said, it’s clear that the person she’s referring to isn’t the Ning Family, but someone else. This isn’t simple; there’s an inside story here."
Glancing at the time, it was already nine in the evening. Luo Qiao made a call home: "Rong Daniang, I’m with Yichen now. We have something to take care of and might not come back tonight. Let the kids go to bed early; they don’t need to wait for us."
After hanging up, Luo Qiao took out some food and drinks from the space, and the two had a quick bite, waiting in the car for news from inside.
Thankfully, Lu Yichen had everyone change into plain clothes before coming in, which made it harder for their identities to be exposed, and their scattered actions wouldn’t raise suspicion from anyone covert.
By eleven at night, there was still no movement. Luo Qiao was a bit anxious: "It’s already eleven, did I hear wrong?"
Lu Yichen held her hand: "Stay calm, they won’t get away."
After another half an hour or so, a group reported that the target had appeared.
Then, a lady reported seeing Leng Lamei come out to meet the people and take them into the waste materials warehouse.
At twelve o’clock sharp, the group that infiltrated the warehouse reported that those people followed Leng Lamei into a secret passage.
Lu Yichen issued the capture order and instructed someone to bring the other two warehouse clerks back to the station for questioning.
After Leng Lamei led the people into the secret passage and found no children, she knew the matter might be exposed, but before they could devise a countermeasure, someone entered to apprehend them.
The transmitter onsite was photographed as evidence and also taken by the investigators.
Even though they tried to be discreet, the workers on a night shift at the factory still saw Leng Lamei being arrested by the police, and later, someone at the residential complex saw Sun Yu and the warehouse guard Old Cai being taken away.
The next morning, the valve factory was abuzz with the news again.
