Chapter 173 - All The Pieces Have Fallen

A few hours after Dr An was arrested, several people from the nursing staff were also hauled in for questioning. This naturally gain the attention of the media, who parked themselves at the police precinct to gain more information.

Meanwhile, Shi Qinglan received the threatening news and decided to leave the city and escape but as he called an assistant to make arrangements, the phone was answered but no one spoke. That was when he heard the sound of his men also being arrested in the background. Shi Qinglan realized that he would have to escape on his own. Packing up his important stuff, Shi Qinglan was about to make his way down when the doorbell rang. Shocked and scared, he immediately packed up his bag and made a run or it. The bag contained falsified identity cards of himself and several bank cards with illegal money. He could not get caught with these. As the sound of the police entering his home, reached his ears, Shi QInglan made his way to a hidden door that led straight out of his home from an underground passage. He kept trying to think of how he would escape from there once he was in the open and felt relief course through him when he saw a car parked on the other side. Qin Yung had come to save him. Throwing his bag into the car, he jumped into the passenger seat as the car drove away.

"Dam*it!Just what is going on?Yung?Give me your phone. I need to check on the news, I had to destroy my phone before running away."

Qin Yung said nothing and just passed his phone to Shi Qinglan. That is when he came across the live press conference that was being held by the police chief, "We have already arrested several suspects in the illegal organ trading business. Dr An Lili, the chief accused, in this case, has also named several important figures from the hospital, who seemed to be involved in the conspiracy. We went to their houses to invite them for their cooperation and some questioning. Two of the people have hone missing though. Director Shi Qinglan and head of security Qin Yung are missing."

One of the reporters questioned, "Director Shi has also been named as a suspect? Director Shi is known for his charitable endeavours through the years. Could it be that somebody is trying to frame him?"

The chief looked at the camera then and explained, "We would have thought so too if we had only received a tip-off. But the case has actually been investigated by our undercover officers and they have gathered additional proof for all the VIPs involved. Everyone who has suffered will get their due justice.

The two missing people are also suspects in another shocking case of child abuse and human trafficking. We have received some disturbing reports and evidence regarding the same. In this press conference, we urge the media and our citizens to help us catch these people. We have released the pictures of these people and sounded an alert on places they could escape to...."

Shi Qinglan snapped the phone close as he turned to Qin Yung instructing the main"Call the mayor and get him to make the police back off."

Qin Yung shook his head and explained, "Already tried. The man is not answering any calls. All our people have been surrounded and captured. Your accounts and assets have been frozen and all the airports and exits in the city are being observed. The entire police force has been thrust into motion to capture us. I have arranged for ha to lay low in a small hotel for a while and then once this furore has calmed a little, we can escape."

Shi Qinglan clenched his hands as he tried to control the rage burning through him. That was****, Long Ah Hai had made his move too fast and effectively. He had not expected such a fast action! Just then the phone in his hand rang unexpectedly. The two people in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a new number. Nobody should have this number. Shi Qinglan let the phone ring and ignored it, trying to come up with a way to handle the mess. Just then, his phone dinged and a message popped up, "You can get out of this mess. Just put the entire blame on Elder Shi after all that man is the Head of the Company. Go to his house straight away and you will find that all his guards are mysteriously asleep."

Shi Qinglan read the message loudly even as his brain came up with a strategy. Yes, he could claim that he had not been involved but had been trying to cover up for the old man. It was not ideal but it was better than being convicted. He would simply kill the old man and claim that he died because he was exposed. It was better than being convicted. Shi Qinglan ordered Qin Yung to drive towards the Shi Villa.

Qin Yung swivelled his head towards Shi Qinglan before protesting, "It could be a trap."

But Qinglan shook, "It is a trap indeed but not for us. It is a trap for that man. An adversary of your enemy is also a friend and this man is our friend who we have received by becoming Long Ah Hai's enemies.

Just then the phone dinged again, this time with a picture message. Shi Qinglan opened the picture and guffawed loudly. Their new friend had left a gift for them! His long lost niece Shi Ai was there, tied to a chair. How brilliant!

"Qin Yung, drive faster. I don't care if it's a trap. This time even if we fall.We will take our enemies down with us!"

An unholy and mad smile that was out of place in his present circ.u.mstances played around Shi Qinglan's mouth as he accepted his inevitable downfall.
