Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 661 - 514: Prepared for the Worst

Bai Sidong turned off his phone, and Chen Lan felt a chill in his heart.

Yin Shixiu then made a call to Wu Rong, the chief of the police department.

The relationship between Wu Rong and Yin Shixiu could be considered quite solid; they had always supported each other.

But given the current situation, even when facing Wu Rong, Yin Shixiu didn’t dare to disclose everything to him wholeheartedly.

He still didn’t know who had such great ability to help Shi Shengde escape from prison.

But one thing was certain: this person must be a high-ranking official in law enforcement.

If investigated, Yin Shixiu would surely find out, but he didn’t have enough time now.

Wu Rong...

The chief of the police department.

Whom he had always somewhat trusted.

This speculation was bold, but compared to helping Shi Shengde escape, it seemed insignificant.

In the call with Wu Rong, Yin Shixiu merely probed for information about the police’s pursuit of Shi Shengde, without asking anything else. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

If Wu Rong were indeed connected with Shi Shengde, then telling Wu Rong about Shi Shengde’s threat would be like directly telling Shi Shengde that he had called the police.

If Wu Rong was not connected to Shi Shengde, with Wu Rong’s character, he would definitely mobilize a large police force.

Alerting the police would inevitably alert the undercover agents hidden within the police, thus it must be reported.

The only person Yin Shixiu could trust 100% was Bai Sidong.

The information Wu Rong could provide was not much; Yin Shixiu asked him for a rough route of Shi Shengde’s escape after his breakout.

After ending the call, Yin Shixiu tried calling Bai Sidong again and then called Bai Sidong’s home, where Hua Muyu answered.

Yin Shixiu did not disturb the Bai Family.

If Shi Shengde was of the mindset to rather break the jade than keep it intact, then the more people involved, the more people could be in danger.

Time was ticking by the minute.

Yin Shixiu opened his computer and began typing a series of codes.

With a rough escape route map and an email cloaked in a mask.

In ten minutes, he directly hacked into the IP address of the mobile network from which the email originated.

He jotted down a string of numbers and handed it to Chen Lan to investigate.

Chen Lan, too, worked swiftly, passing it to the company’s IT department.

Upon returning, a map on Yin Shixiu’s desk now had two circles drawn, and when they compared it with the IP address Chen Lan provided, the result was clear.

"Southwest Land Collection Warehouse Center."

Chen Lan frowned,

"This place isn’t far from here; if we take a detour from the outer ring highway, we can get there quickly."

Yin Shixiu tapped his fingers on the desk, muttering,

"Yes, not far. To provoke the tiger on its own turf... Shi Shengde really has guts, not only did he not run far, but he was right under the police department’s nose."

"Boss, are we really not calling the police? Now that we’ve figured out his location, the rest should be left to the police!"

This reasoning, Yin Shixiu naturally understood.

But although the reasoning was clear, it couldn’t be executed just as plainly.

This distinction was dictated by the differing stands of Chen Lan and Yin Shixiu.

Chen Lan could view Su Chengji as another person, leaving life and death to fate, but Yin Shixiu could not.

He still remembered the fear and unease in his wife’s heart when Su Chengji was hacked by Su Jianyi’s wife, Zhou Wenxiu, in Chengdu.

He couldn’t let such a tragedy happen again.

During these times, he was grateful that, besides being a businessman, he was also a tech-savvy individual.

Hacking someone else’s IP... it was something he had done back in college.

Yin Shixiu glanced at his watch; Shi Shengde had given him two hours, twenty minutes had passed, and it would take forty minutes to reach the Southwest Land Collection Warehouse Center from here.

It was now 1:30 in the afternoon...

"No calling the police."

"..."

Chen Lan’s fists tightened.

But once Yin Shixiu made a decision, no one could easily sway it.

Chen Lan had no other option.

This high-ranking management talent who valued money above all else, this loyal helper who had been working alongside Yin Shixiu for many years, this man who always claimed he worked diligently solely for money...

This single, commitment-phobic older bachelor...

His face no longer bore the usual nonchalant expression.

Because he had been working alongside Yin Shixiu, because he knew everything Yin Shixiu did, he was more aware than anyone.

The dangers that might follow next.

Yin Shixiu was quite a remarkable figure.

People said he was treacherous, that he was sinister, calculating, cold-blooded, and mercenary.
