Chapter 642: Liu Gang is arrested

Afternoon.

The Charade tailed the black Brilliance Auto car for six to seven streets.

Liu Gang’s phone rang when he was driving. His eyes remained glued to that black Brilliance Auto car while he answered the call. It’s Deputy Chief Director Pang Dabing.

“Hello, Cousin.”

“How is it? Did you find anything?”

“I saw Dong Xuebing meeting a woman secretly.”

“Oh? Do you know what is going on?”

“I am not sure, but I am still following them. They had driven around for a while, and I don’t know where they are going.”

“Ok. Watch out for your safety, and don’t get caught.”

“I understand. Eh? They had parked their car. I will hang up first.”

“Ok. I am waiting for your good news.”

Liu Gang looks at the black Brilliance Auto car not far away and hangs up. They are in a secluded street in Nan Shan District Suburbs. There are not a lot of passersby and cars in this area, and he doesn’t dare to park too near to the black Brilliance Auto car. He stopped at a distance and took out his camera to take a few pictures. He noticed there was a hotel nearby, and this discovery made him excited. He sneered and got ready to take pictures of Dong Xuebing and that woman walking into the hotel. That will be evidence of Dong Xuebing having an affair with that woman.

Hurry up and alight from that car, and go into the hotel.

Liu Gang held his camera and looked in that car’s direction without blinking.

Suddenly, the black Brilliance Auto car’s door opens, and the beautiful middle-aged woman steps out.

The woman closed the door behind her, and Liu Gang did not see Dong Xuebing. He frowned and used his camera to zoom in at the car. Dong Xuebing is not in the front passenger seat, and the black figure in the front passenger seat is not Dong Xuebing. It is the back of the front passenger seat. He is puzzled why Dong Xuebing had disappeared after boarding that car.

The woman turned and walked towards Liu Gang’s Charade.

Liu Gang’s heart skipped a beat, and he wondered how he was discovered. He quickly threw his camera aside and wanted to drive away. Tailing someone is illegal and tailing a government leader is a serious crime. He cannot be caught.

But it’s too late for Liu Gang to escape.

A few loud screeches sounded around Liu Gang.

Two black sedan cars came to a screeching stop. One stopped in front of the Charade, and the other stopped behind it, boxing Liu Gang in the center. He immediately knew it was bad. He still doesn’t know what is going on, and his first reaction is to keep his camera in his pocket and run. His reaction is fast, but five other men in plain clothes are faster. They alighted from the two black sedan cars and surrounded Liu Gang.

Who are these people?

Bodyguards?

Liu Gang is scared and anxious. He looked towards that woman and dashed towards her. It will be easier to escape from that weak middle-aged woman if he runs in her direction than those men. He might not be good at fighting, but he is fit and can run fast.

But Liu Gang picked the wrong target.

The middle-aged woman is Xu Yan.

Dong Xuebing had sparred with Xu Yan. If he did not cheat by using his power, he might not win, let alone Liu Gang. The moment Liu Gang ran past Xu Yan, she grabbed his arm and pulled it back. Liu Gang lost his balance and was thrown onto the road.

“Ahhh….” Liu Gang screamed as he landed on the road. His ear grazed against the road, and blood started flowing.

Xu Yan said. “Catch him!”

“Yes, Mdm.” The five plainclothes men replied at the same time.

Liu Gang doesn’t have time to think about his injuries and gets up to escape.

But those men did not give him any chance. One of the men grabbed Liu Gang’s arm and twisted it to his back, letting out a loud crack.

“What are you all doing?” Cold sweat trickled down Liu Gang’s back as he shouted in pain.

Another man walked up and punched Liu Gang’s face without saying anything.

Bam! Liu Gang spat out a mouthful of blood. “You all….!” He shouted and continued to try to run again.

That man is ruthless and gave Liu Gang another punch before talking.

Liu Gang’s face is covered in bruises, and he cannot run anymore. He laid on the road and shouted. “Who are you? Are you trying to kill me? Help!”

A few passersby look over, and a Police patrol bike happens to drive past.

Liu Gang saw that Policeman and shouted at the top of his voice. “Help! Save me!”

The Policeman heard Liu Gang and quickly stopped his bike.

The Policeman got off his bike and walked towards them. “What is going on? Move back, move back.”

Liu Gang covered his face and shouted. “Police! They are assaulting me in broad daylight!”

The Policeman’s face changed, and he looked at Xu Yan and her men. He reached out for his radio to call for backup.

But one of the plainclothes men walked over and took out a badge with a national emblem. “State Security. We are on a mission.”

The Policeman was shocked and looked at Liu Gang with pity. He turned to his bike and rode away.

State Security…. These people are from the State Security!

Liu Gang is stunned. How is this possible? How did he get involved with State Security? Dong Xuebing? Where did Dong Xuebing go?!

Xu Yan glanced at Liu Gang and said. “Bring him back.”

Liu Gang no longer dares to retaliate or escape. He knows what sort of place the State Security is, and there’s no way for him to escape.

The few men grabbed Liu Gang from the road and pushed him into their car.

Dong Xuebing is leaning against a wall in a corner, watching everything. He is satisfied. You want to find trouble with me?! It’s your turn.

Xu Yan turned towards Dong Xuebing before she entered her car.

Dong Xuebing smiled and gestured to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan nodded and boarded her car.

This is the trap set by Dong Xuebing and Xu Yan. This evil idea was taught to him by Xu Yan. When he was still Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency Chief, he had gone to Da Feng County to stop their investment fair. Da Feng County sent Public Security Bureau officers to tail Dong Xuebing, and Xu Yan gave him this idea. But those Public Security Bureau officers did not fall for the trap. Liu Gang is unlucky as this trap is used on him now.

Nan Shan District. An office compound with no signboards.

The few cars entered the compound and stopped in front of an office building. Liu Gang is pushed out of the car and brought into the building. This is the Third division’s office, and they are in charge of the City’s State Security Operations.

A small room in the building.

A State Security staff gave Xu Yan Liu Gang’s camera. “Chief, this is the evidence. We found it on him.”

Xu Yan nodded and put on a pair of white gloves before checking the camera. She checked the pictures and deleted the pictures with Dong Xuebing in them.

The two staff beside Xu Yan pretended they did not see anything.

“Where is he?” Xu Yan asked.

“He is outside.”

“Bring him in.”

The staff acknowledges. “Yes, Mdm.”

A few seconds later, Liu Gang, who was handcuffed, was escorted into the room by that staff.

Xu Yan looked at Liu Gang and passed the camera to the man beside her. She picked up a file with Liu Gang’s personal details and started reading.

Liu Gang is panicking. Beads of sweat kept rolling down from his forehead.

The Third Division Chief looked at Liu Gang. “Name.”

“Liu… Liu Gang.”

“Occupation?”

“Nan Qi Morning Post…. Reporter.”

The Third Division Chief continued. “Tell us who ordered you.”

Liu Gang panicked. “What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“You don’t understand?!” The Third Division Chief shouted. “You had followed our car for almost an hour. We turn left, and you turn left. We turn right, and you turn right. Don’t tell me it is a coincidence!”

“Liu Gang quickly explains. “I was not following you, and it’s a coincidence. I was going to visit a friend. It’s a misunderstanding.”

“I think you are trying to visit our State Security Bureau. How dare you tail us?”

“No…. this is a misunderstanding.”

The Third Division Chief laughed. “The reporters nowadays are too bold. Tailing movie stars and monitoring Government Leaders. Now, you all are targeting the State Security.” The other staff in the room were also angry. This guy is seeking his death by monitoring Chief Xu. Does he have nothing else to do? Is he crazy?

“Liu Gang, do you know who you are tailing today?” The Third Division Chief asked. “She is our City State Security Bureau Chief!”

Chief?!

The most powerful person in the City State Security Bureau?!

Liu Gang only knows Xu Yan might be a leader, and he did not expect her to be the Chief. His soul almost left his body when he heard this.

Tailing a State Security Bureau Chief?!

Tailing a Division Director ranked Government Leader?!

Holy shit!

Liu Gang almost fell from the chair. He knows he had been set up by Dong Xuebing now.

Dong Xuebing knew he was tailing him and set this trap for him!

Liu Gang is scared and angry. He recalls Dong Xuebing’s suspicious actions and how that Brilliance Auto car stopped suddenly at the corner. Damn! I had fallen into his trap!
