Xiao Feng thought for a moment and decided to go by himself. After all, in Miao Youmin's house, there were bound to be plenty of members of the criminal organization mingling around. The more people he brought, the more danger they would be in.
Seeing Xiao Feng walking out, Song Keren quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Are you going to catch Miao Youmin? I'll go with you!"
"Forget it, with your half-baked skills," Xiao Feng rejected.
"Who are you calling half-baked!" Song Keren was displeased. "You just said it yourself, the two of us going would just be sending ourselves to get caught. Going alone is even more of a death wish!"
Xiao Feng shook his head, "It's different. Bringing you along would mean I have to split my attention to take care of you. Going by myself means it's foolproof."
"Am I so unbearable in your eyes?" Song Keren frowned. "I'm worried that Miao Youmin might have already fled. Should we contact the airline and cancel all the flights tonight?"
"You're becoming more and more like Shi Jiaxin. You're starting to speak without thinking." Xiao Feng said with a tone of exasperation, "Didn't you just say we should minimize the impact? And now you're talking about canceling all flights. Do you think your superior will agree?"
"Even if they agreed, if he really wants to escape, can't Miao Youmin take a car to Xinwen City first and then fly away from there?" Xiao Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "If he wants to run, there are plenty of ways. We can't possibly seal off all traffic in neighboring cities."
Song Keren looked serious, "So you mean..."
Xiao Feng picked up the thread, "So, the most pressing thing right now is to first confirm whether Miao Youmin is still home. You stay here to coordinate, and also keep an eye on Shihan and Lin Jiaxuan. This task is no less important than capturing Miao Youmin."
"Don't worry about this side," Song Keren finally agreed after a moment of thought, seriously reminding, "You mustn't be careless. If you feel unsure, wait for the right opportunity, and remember, don't be reckless."
Xiao Feng nodded, but just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Song Keren again.
"Sister, what else do you have to say?" Xiao Feng said helplessly, "If I delay any longer, Miao Youmin will really escape."
"Take this." As she spoke, Song Keren handed her own pistol to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng froze for a moment, but he didn't refuse. He tucked the gun into his waistband and turned to step into the night...
Tonight, Jiangcheng was particularly lively. Everyone was refreshing the forums, where news about the explosion earlier that evening was everywhere. The streets were three times busier than usual, and conversations were filled with chatter about the explosion.
At this moment, Miao Youmin's house was filled with people in the living room on the first floor. Everyone wore masks, making it hard to see each other's faces in the dim light, adding a layer of mystery.
At the corner of the second floor, Miao Youmin spoke hurriedly, "How is it going?"
The middle-aged man across from him lit a cigarette and replied coldly, "The police haven't given up on monitoring you. It seems you've committed a serious crime. And that guy named Xiao Feng, he's already out of the police station."
"What?!" Miao Youmin panicked, "What should I do now?"
The middle-aged man replied leisurely, "Don't worry. It will take him some time to get here, enough for you to escape."
"Then let's go quickly," Miao Youmin said urgently, wanting to rush downstairs. This was his home, but he didn't dare to stay any longer.
"Are you out of your mind?" The middle-aged man pulled him back and scolded, "I told you, the police haven't given up monitoring you. If you go out now, it's like walking into a trap."
At this time, a woman wearing a black mask ran up the stairs. Seeing Miao Youmin, she took off her mask and tearfully asked, "Min Ge, will you come back?"
"I don't know," Miao Youmin replied impatiently.
"I've expected this outcome for a long time..." The woman laughed sadly.
If Song Keren were present, she would recognize that the woman was Yu Xiuzhi, the lady who served food at the bureau's canteen.
Yu Xiuzhi wiped her tears and looked affectionately at Miao Youmin, "It's okay. I always said that love can cross mountains and seas, but the mountains and seas can't be leveled. But now I want to say, if you love me, then the mountains and seas..."
Miao Youmin had no time for this, interrupting, "Alright, alright, stop reciting your sappy poems. If you really love me, think of a way to get the police off my back."
"It's been ten years, Min Ge, did you know? Since you saved me from those demons, I've fallen deeply in love with you." Yu Xiuzhi's eyes slowly became firm, "You saved my life, and now it's time to return it to you..."
Miao Youmin's eyes lit up, "Xiuzhi, quickly tell me, what idea do you have?"
In fact, Yu Xiuzhi's hometown was in a remote mountain area. Ten years ago, right after she left the mountains, she was caught by a human trafficking gang. Because of her beauty, she suffered a lot at their hands.
The truth about her being saved by Miao Youmin was actually a misunderstanding. Someone like Miao Youmin would hardly risk himself to save others; he just happened to rush into the trafficker's den to show his face after confirming it was safe.
So, Yu Xiuzhi considered that Miao Youmin had saved her. Since then, she willingly became his underground lover at the blossoming age, until now.
"I've thought it through..."
Just as Yu Xiuzhi began to speak, a sharp noise came from upstairs, "Miao Youmin, I'm going to fight you today!"
Immediately followed by a woman appearing to be around fifty, with noticeable wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, rushing down the stairs, her high heels stomping on the steps, making a continuous "thump, thump, thump, thump" sound.
The woman rushed down and grabbed Miao Youmin by the collar, cursing loudly, "You've been keeping a mistress from me for ten years? If it weren't for my connections, would you have gotten to where you are today?"
As she spoke, she began to scratch and claw at Miao Youmin.
The atmosphere downstairs was completely disrupted. Everyone looked towards the second floor, speechless in astonishment.
Miao Youmin's wife was named Bai Lisha. She wasn't just anyone; her family was quite rich and influential in Jiangcheng, but she was a full ten years older than Miao Youmin.
Back then, this rich young lady married Miao Youmin against her family's wishes, making quite the sensation, and it became a talked-about love story.
But now, this love story was shattering before everyone's eyes, leaving many to sigh with emotion.
"Get off!" Miao Youmin shouted angrily, pushing Bai Lisha away, "Do you still have the gall to talk about your connections? Do you know how many shady things I've done for your family over the years?"
"To be honest with you, if it weren't for considering your family's status, who would want to marry an old woman like you?" The more Miao Youmin spoke, the angrier he got, "I've wasted my best years, my teenage youth, all because of you!"
"How dare you push me?" Bai Lisha looked at Miao Youmin in disbelief, "You dare lay a hand on me now?"
"Not only will I lay a hand, but I'll also use my foot!" Enraged, Miao Youmin kicked Bai Lisha again and again, venting years of dissatisfaction.
"Miao Youmin, I'll make you regret this... Ah!" Bai Lisha screamed angrily.
Miao Youmin growled with a ferocious expression, "I already regret it, regret marrying a woman like you."
The people downstairs were completely stunned, unable to speak. Was this still the good-natured Deputy Director Miao?
"Min Ge, stop it, you'll kill her if you continue." Yu Xiuzhi quickly went up to hold back Miao Youmin.
Miao Youmin, still angry, said, "I've had enough of this old woman's temper, bringing up the past every time we argue. Her family may have helped me, but after so many years, everything I've owed has been paid back."
Just then, the door to the hall burst open, and Xiao Feng cheerfully said, "Wow, it really is lively here. Sorry I didn't bring a mask, got any spares?"
The middle-aged man opposite Miao Youmin was shocked, "How did he get here so fast?!"
