Chapter 902: Capturing Song Tao
The continuous entrapment by the Song family already left Lan Xue fuming, and after discovering that the Song family was the culprit behind framing her biological mother, her hatred reached its peak. If she hadn't been calm enough, she would have already stormed over to them. Now that she finally had the chance for revenge, she certainly wouldn't be polite. Lan Xue sneered coldly, "Even if you hide Song Tao, you will still face endless pursuit by the kidnappers. They won't give up without getting their money."
"Now I suspect that you are in cahoots with the kidnappers, conspiring to frame my Song family." Song Haitian immediately found an excuse to counterattack, standing up coldly and shouting, his sharp gaze locked onto Lan Xue. Just thinking about the enmity causing the decline of his family made his whole body tremble with anger, his heart seething with murderous intent.
"A very good excuse, do you think it will work?" Lan Xue sneered.
"Whether it works or not is not up to you." Song Haitian retorted coldly, "Guards, prepare the car at once." He then strode outside.
Lan Xue knew that Song Haitian was going to act, but the evidence pointed to Song Tao, not Song Haitian, so she couldn't capture Song Haitian. Anger surged within her, and she thought that if Song Haitian used this excuse to fight back, it would be a lawsuit that would be difficult to clear up for a while. Although it wouldn't hold up in the end, it would buy the Song family time for a counterattack. She anxiously said, "Little sister, keep a close eye on Song Haitian's car, especially his phone, and report at any time."
"Understood, the communication equipment and phones on the guards are all registered, and we can contact the security group immediately. After obtaining authorization, we can monitor at any time. Rest assured, as long as he dares to make a call, we can monitor the content." Lan Xing's voice echoed in her ear, carrying a hint of coldness.
Lan Xue sighed in relief, watching Song Haitian get into the car and leave the courtyard, she sneered, scanning her surroundings with a murderous look. After struggling with the Song family for so long, it was the first time she had come to their door, but the effect was good, making Song Haitian storm off in anger. The regret was that Song Tao was nowhere to be seen. After a while, Ghost Hand and others came out and shook their heads at Lan Xue.
"The Song family has too many dens. Let's each search one; I don't believe we can't find Song Tao." Lan Xue said coldly.
Suddenly, Lan Xing's voice rang in her ear, "Sister, the old tortoise called the little tortoise. We intercepted it; he's in the western part of the city. We can only lock onto a general location for now. You guys go first, I'll figure something out."
"Go." Lan Xue was overjoyed and dashed outside.
Ghost Hand and others, seeing the posture, immediately understood there was a lead and quickly followed. After everyone got in the car, they rushed towards the west of the city. On the way, Ghost Hand suddenly said, "Captain, do you think Tang Tian deliberately set a trap for us to catch Song Tao?"
"What do you mean?" Lan Xue was stunned and asked in surprise.
"Maybe Tang Tian doesn't want money; kidnapping is just an excuse. The real goal is to kill Song Tao. In desperation, she gave us the evidence to use our hands to kill Song Tao." Ghost Hand explained.
"Reason?" Lan Xue asked gravely.
"The Song family cooperated with the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group before. Maybe the cooperation wasn't pleasant, and Tang Tian is seeking revenge on the Song family. With the power of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, they shouldn't lack money. Blackmailing is incidental; having it is good, but it doesn't matter if not. The real aim is murder. Moreover, kidnapping Ghost, as long as we kill Song Tao and Ghost is still in Tang Tian's hands, the ultimate winner is Tang Tian, and we inadvertently help her." Ghost Hand analyzed cautiously.
"Hiss?" Lan Xue's face changed dramatically; all the previous speculations were based on ransom. If Tang Tian truly wasn't in it for the ransom, then all the previous speculations were entirely wrong, and everyone fell into Tang Tian's plan. Such a clever scheme, isn't this too terrifying? She wondered aloud, "Given Tang Tian's age, fifteen or sixteen, she shouldn't possess such advanced scheming, should she? Could someone be helping her? I haven't heard of anyone in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group being this cunning."
"Maybe it's another force, didn't you say there was a spy covering for them? Maybe it's those people's plan, but I can't figure out who it could be." Ghost Hand analyzed in frustration.
"Anyway, let's find Song Tao first." Lan Xue said coldly, her heart burning. If everything was as Ghost Hand speculated, the situation was extremely serious. Luo Zheng's life would be at risk at any moment. Thinking of this, Lan Xue gritted her teeth, her icy gaze becoming even sharper.
"Yes." Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, and Mountain Eagle responded in unison.
"Found him, the little tortoise is hiding in his company, on the top floor, probably about to run. You all hurry." Lan Xing's voice echoed in her ear. Lan Xue answered, asked for the directions, and sped up the car.
Before long, the car stopped in front of a building. Security came up to stop them, not allowing the car to park at the entrance. Lan Xue and the others jumped out of the car, ignoring the security, and rushed directly into the building. One by one, like wolves and tigers, surrounding people dodged in terror, surprised.
"Mountain Eagle, you stay, guard the entrance." Lan Xue said after rushing into the elevator, pulling out her gun.
Ghost Hand and others quickly drew their guns, chambered a round with cold expressions. They took the elevator upstairs. Soon, the elevator reached the top floor, dinging to a stop. When the door opened, Lan Xue saw Song Tao waiting at the elevator entrance, flanked by two men in black suits, their expressions indifferent. She quickly raised her gun and shouted, "Song Tao, don't move."
Seeing Lan Xue, Song Tao's face changed drastically. At this time, a burly man in a black suit beside Song Tao shoved him aside and lunged towards the elevator, launching a ferocious attack, trying to block the advancing Lan Xue and others.
Before Lan Xue could retaliate, Ghost Hand struck like lightning, his hands turned into a swirling shadow, raining punches on the opponent as fast as lightning, imperceptible to the naked eye. The name Ghost Hand wasn't thrown around randomly. In close combat and delicate fighting techniques, no one in the team was his match, even Luo Zheng admitted as much.
Almost simultaneously, Snow Leopard roared and kicked fiercely. This person, unable to withstand Ghost Hand's lightning-fast assault, had no chance to evade and was sent flying backwards by the kick, crashing heavily onto the wall, sliding down, and spitting a mouthful of blood.
They rushed out of the elevator, seeing Song Tao being shielded by another man in black suit, charging into the fire escape. Lan Xue shouted angrily, "Snow Leopard, knock him out and take him, Ghost Hand, come with me."
"Yes." Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard answered in unison.
Lan Xue took the lead and dashed over, Ghost Hand wasn't slow, quickly following, rushing into the fire escape, and chasing downward frantically. After all, Song Tao was just an ordinary person, his speed was insufficiently fast, the sound of descending quite loud, allowing Lan Xue to hear distinctly. Lan Xue pursued quickly, about to catch up.
"Pop! Pop!" Suddenly, two gunshots rang out. Lan Xue felt the bullets fly past her ears, nearly hitting her. Shocked, she angrily aimed her gun downwards, only to find the opponent retreating rapidly, with no shooting angle, forcing her to put away her gun and continue the pursuit.
