Chapter 1671: Chapter 1671
Song Guanchao left the room and walked straight to the sofa.
The two men didn’t pay him any attention; one was playing a game, and the other was watching the first play.
It wasn’t until Song Guanchao got close that the man raised his head.
Suddenly, Song Guanchao lifted his foot, and before the man could react, the large sole of his shoe had already kicked the man in the face.
With a crunching sound, the man felt a sharp pain, and tears and snot flowed uncontrollably as he cried out in agony.
The man playing the game put down his phone, and just as he looked up, Song Guanchao delivered a whip-like kick that hit him on the side of his face.
This man was slightly better off, he hadn’t even felt the pain before his eyes rolled back and he slumped onto the sofa.
"Wow, quite resilient."
Song Guanchao chuckled and punched the man again, immediately silencing his cries.
In the room, Chairman Qiao heard the screams and felt her heart race, uncertain of the situation outside.
As the footsteps approached, her heart was in her throat.
Seeing Song Guanchao appear at the door, she suddenly relaxed.
"Chairman Qiao, let’s go."
"Okay, okay."
Chairman Qiao lifted the blanket, making Song Guanchao pause.
She was wearing nothing but a thin, sexy camisole.
The camisole was so short it barely covered her navel, revealing a slender waist that could be grasped, sexy underwear on her hips, and sleek, beautiful legs that danced into his view.
Song Guanchao turned away, "Get dressed first, no rush."
"The clothes were hidden by them," Chairman Qiao’s voice sounded shy from behind.
Hidden?
Song Guanchao’s heart sank. He asked, "Chairman Qiao, during this time, have you been... bullied?"
"No."
Her response brought slight relief to his heart, as she softly said, "But if we wait a few more days, it’s hard to say."
She’d only been imprisoned for a few days, yet they already refused to let her wear clothes, indulging in the sight.
If she continued to be held, it was only a matter of time before she was violated, unavoidable.
"Let’s find the clothes first."
Song Guanchao moved to another room and found the hidden clothes in a wardrobe.
He exited the room and waited in the living room.
A few minutes later, Chairman Qiao, now dressed, came out.
She glanced at the two men on the sofa, then walked over and furiously stomped on them, venting her inner anger.
Song Guanchao didn’t stop her; he waited until she was tired of kicking, then collected the men’s phones and tied their hands and feet with bedsheets.
After completing these tasks, he clapped his hands, "Let’s go."
As they waited for the elevator, Song Guanchao said, "I’ve already arranged for people to arrest your company’s executives."
Chairman Qiao was surprised but nodded, "Thank you."
Ding.
The elevator arrived, with two men inside.
Song Guanchao was about to enter when Chairman Qiao’s face changed dramatically, her voice trembling as she said, "Quick, go!"
The men inside also shouted loudly, "Damn!"
Clearly, these two men were local police, here for a shift change?
Just as they were about to rush out, Song Guanchao reacted swiftly, kicking each back into the elevator, leaning in, and pressing the button for the 18th floor.
The two men clutched their stomachs, curled up on the ground, and watched as the elevator doors closed.
"Let’s go."
Song Guanchao grabbed her hand and sprinted down the hallway.
Chairman Qiao couldn’t keep up, so Song Guanchao simply picked her up, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Thud thud thud...
Song Guanchao hurried downstairs, Chairman Qiao’s body bouncing with each step.
At such close proximity, she watched Song Guanchao’s resolute profile, her heart suddenly pounding wildly, stirred by a special emotion.
Song Guanchao descended quickly, from the 12th to the 1st floor, while the elevator still hadn’t arrived.
Hotel staff and guests all turned to look at him.
"Yiren, drive the car over! Wait for me in the passenger seat," Song Guanchao said.
Chairman Qiao was a bit puzzled, unaware of who he was talking to.
But she quickly found out.
As they exited the hotel doors, an SUV had just stopped at the entrance, and a woman also got out of the driver’s seat, opening the passenger door.
The car looked familiar, Chairman Qiao recalled, wasn’t this President Xie’s car?
Bang!
Song Guanchao opened the car door, placed her into the back seat, and then went around to the driver’s seat.
At this moment, the two men who were changing shifts also exited the elevator, running and shouting in this direction, "Security, stop that car!"
Boom! As Song Guanchao closed the car door and slammed the pedal to the floor, the car sped away just as the two guys ran out of the hotel.
Watching the car leave in the dust, the two men gnashed their teeth in anger.
"Damn it!"
"Call Director Zhang!"
The man pulled out his phone and contacted the director.
...
Song Guanchao drove with focus, speeding past cars and running red lights.
Anyway, it wasn’t his car.
Meanwhile, Phoenix City Public Security Bureau Director Zhang received a call, face grim as if his wife had been seduced and his parents chopped.
"Who was that man?"
"I don’t know, he wore a mask and a hat, so we couldn’t see clearly."
"What about the car? What’s the license plate number?"
"The license plate is..." the man remembered and quickly reported it.
Upon hearing it was a Pinghai plate, Director Zhang speculated it might be one of Chairman Qiao’s loyal subordinates.
"Pursue immediately!"
Shouting into the phone, Director Zhang began making calls to arrange matters.
He first told the traffic police to check surveillance and try to locate the car.
Then, he sent the license plate number to staff at the highway exit, telling them to stop the car if they saw it.
After making these arrangements, he called Mayor Cai to report.
Seeing Chairman Qiao as a golden goose, they couldn’t just let her go!
Mayor Cai became anxious upon hearing this, "Capture them as soon as possible!"
"I’ve already sent out orders," Director Zhang said, "The car is registered in Pinghai City, they will definitely take the highway, I’ll chase them myself later."
After hanging up, Director Zhang grabbed his car keys and left.
Based on his analysis, those people would take the hostage back to Pinghai.
Phoenix City’s highway entrance was singular; once they chose this route, escaping was out of the question!
About half an hour later, Song Guanchao slowed down as he headed toward the highway entrance.
From afar, he saw two people standing at each entrance of the toll station.
Although these people wore ordinary clothes, Song Guanchao sensed something different.
If his guess was right, they were police officers!
Presumably arranged by the local police.
"Quick to react," Song Guanchao chuckled, not turning the car around but driving toward one ETC entrance at a steady speed.
Today was a weekday, 3 PM, and the traffic at the toll station was sparse, with an empty charging lane.
As a black Mercedes SUV drove up, the two plainclothes officers guarding the lane locked eyes on it.
Narrowing their eyes, they tried to make out the license plate.
Getting closer, they finally saw it clearly.
It was indeed the car they were looking for!
The two plainclothes officers felt a rush of excitement but avoided any drastic action to prevent alerting the opposer.
On either side of the car, they motioned for it to stop.
Song Guanchao obligingly slowed down and lowered the window.
However, just as the car was about to stop, Song Guanchao suddenly slammed the pedal, the barrier in front already up.
The two plainclothes officers, unexpecting the car to drive off, could only watch helplessly as it sped onto the highway, left anxious.
"Quick, pursue quickly!"
They ran to their vehicle parked by the toll station, got in, and chased after it, while simultaneously calling Director Zhang to report the situation.
