Chapter Three Hundred Ninety-Nine

Chun Tao stayed in the hotel until the next day, having arranged for the little girls to stay there as well.

Before the police took Long Xiaoshan away yesterday, he had called her to tell her not to worry.

But Long Xiaoshan had not returned the following day, nor had he called her. When she tried calling back, his phone had no signal, which inevitably made her start to worry again.

However, there were exams at school the next day.

Because she hadn't returned to school.

Her homeroom teacher Qiao Ruoli called and said that if she didn't take the exam, she would lose academic credits.

Chun Tao had no choice but to rush back to school for the exams, and finally, the morning tests were over.

Picking up her phone, Chun Tao walked out to the corridor and tried calling Long Xiaoshan again. The call still didn't go through, which made her feel increasingly anxious. Despite Long Xiaoshan telling her not to worry the day before, the prolonged lack of contact made her mind race.

"Taozi, what's wrong?" Li Mengjie walked up to her.

"Nothing."

"Don't say it's nothing, you look so pale. Did that Long Xiaoshan kid pick on you? I'm telling you, these rich young masters often have a lot of issues, you should be careful," Li Mengjie said bluntly, obviously still irritated by Long Xiaoshan's cold behavior from the day before.

"No, it's not that, Xiaoshan isn't that kind of person." Chun Tao was in no mood to respond to Li Mengjie; she was considering whether she should go to the police station to inquire.

Just then, Chun Tao's phone rang.

A strange number appeared on the screen, but Chun Tao still hurried to answer it.

"Hello, is this Xu Chuntao?" The call carried an unfamiliar male voice.

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?" Chun Tao asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. All you need to know is that Long Xiaoshan is in our hands. If you want to see him, come to the school gate immediately," the voice on the phone said.

"What?" Chun Tao's expression changed, but knowing Long Xiaoshan's capabilities, she immediately said, "I don't believe you. You say Xiaoshan is in your hands, let me hear his voice."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. You have ten minutes. If you don't come out, don't expect to see him again."

With that, the person on the other end hung up with a snap.

"Hello? Hello?"

Chun Tao shouted into the phone, but hearing that the other party had hung up, she tried calling back immediately, only to find that the phone had been switched off.

This made Chun Tao's face show signs of panic. Although she was aware of Long Xiaoshan's abilities, there was always a 'what if,' and Long Xiaoshan's phone was indeed unreachable.

Li Mengjie rarely saw Chun Tao lose her composure and quickly asked, "Chun Tao, what's going on? Tell me if something is wrong, I will help you."

But Chun Tao hesitated. Since the call said to meet Xiaoshan at the school gate within ten minutes, she decided to head there. The school gate wasn't the Dragon's Lair and Tiger's Den, and there were security guards. "It's nothing, Mengjie, I'm just stepping out for a bit," she said.

With that, she rushed towards the school gate.

Seeing Chun Tao running off in such a hurry made Li Mengjie worried, and she ran after her.

"Mengjie, why are you following me?" Chun Tao quickly asked when she saw Li Mengjie catching up.

"Taozi, you must be in trouble. We're friends, right? If a friend is in trouble, I, Li Mengjie, definitely won't just stand by and watch," Li Mengjie said with loyalty.

Chun Tao was touched and said, "You should go back first. I'm just going to the school gate."

"Don't say that, Taozi. Since it's just to the school gate, it won't hurt if I come with you. I don't have anything else to do right now," Li Mengjie replied.

Seeing that Li Mengjie insisted, Chun Tao didn't stop her anymore.

But now that Li Mengjie had come with her, it wouldn't be good to keep hiding the truth, so she told Li Mengjie about the situation briefly.

After listening, Li Mengjie said, "You mean Long Xiaoshan is missing, and someone asked you to go to the school gate? That's not right. I think you should call the police first."

"No, let's go to the gate first and see. If something really is going on, there are security guards there," Chun Tao thought to herself. Xiaoshan said yesterday that he was going with the police. If he really is missing, it must be related to the police, so what's the use of me calling the cops?

Li Mengjie thought the same, what's there to be afraid of at the school gate?

She grabbed Chun Tao's hand, "Then let's go together and have a look."

Both of them jogged and quickly arrived at the school gate. It was now time for school to start, and there weren't many people at the gate. Moreover, today it seemed unusually quiet, with the gate empty and even the security guards missing. The two circled the gate but didn't spot anyone unusual or Long Xiaoshan.

Chun Tao frowned and took out her phone to try calling that strange number from before.

Suddenly, a voice came, "Xu Chun Tao."

Chun Tao turned her head, and a person wearing a baseball cap, seemingly emerging from nowhere, sprayed something in Chun Tao's face, causing her to feel dizzy and collapse to the ground.

Li Mengjie was shocked and about to shout when the person quickly sprayed her as well, and she too collapsed to the ground.

Soon a Buick business car drove by, its side door opened, and two people got out, dragged Chun Tao and Li Mengjie into the car, and then the car sped off.

A person crawled out of a car in the parking area, watching the business car speed away.

Long Xiaoshan had spent the night at the police station.

Not until the next day at noon did a police officer come to open the door and said, "Mr. Long, you're free to go." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

Long Xiaoshan was puzzled; he had killed all those people, and now they were letting him go so easily? He hadn't revealed his affiliation with the Special Action Division, and his instructor certification hadn't been issued yet, so strictly speaking, he wasn't a part of the Special Action Division at the moment.

At the detention room's entrance, he asked, "What happened to the people caught last night? How is the case progressing?"

"Mr. Long, I'm afraid we can't disclose that casually. It's a big case, but you should trust the police force, we will definitely bring the criminals to justice," said the police releasing Long Xiaoshan, courteous yet bureaucratic.

Long Xiaoshan met with neither hard nor soft resistance.

Walking out with a hint of suspicion, he knew with hard evidence like that, Hua Qing and the others couldn't escape their crimes, but what he wanted was far more than just that.

But right now, he couldn't rashly interfere.

If it really came down to it, he could go through the proper channels in the Special Action Division. For a case this big, the Special Action Division getting involved wouldn't be a problem, and he believed Zhao Xiaoqiao would definitely give him this much face.

Thinking this, Long Xiaoshan stopped dwelling on it and left the police station directly.

He had just stepped out of the police station gate when an old-model black Mercedes came and drove up slowly beside him, the back window rolled down revealing a middle-aged man with a commanding presence and a pipe in his mouth, who called out, "Mr. Long."

Long Xiaoshan stopped his steps, puzzled, and looked at the man, "You know me? What do you want?"

"There are indeed some matters I'd like to discuss with Mr. Long. My name is Qiu Haitang, currently the head of the Qiu Family," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
