Chapter 3394: Chapter 3386: Truly Eye-Opening
"Where did he go?"
"Seems like he went to Building No. 3," the old lady said.
"I just remembered too."
An elderly man leaning on a cane said:
"Seems like he went to Unit 2. You better catch him quickly and don’t let him get away. There are quite a few kids in our neighborhood."
"Alright, but there’s a condition. You can’t spread the word. If his accomplice finds out, the kids in your neighborhood would be in danger."
"Okay, okay, we definitely won’t say anything. You better catch him quickly."
Li Xuedan stood aside, listening to Lin Yi and the elders’ conversation.
Suddenly understood what he meant.
Simply inquiring about the suspect’s whereabouts wouldn’t make them pay much attention.
But if this matter infringed on their core interests, they would definitely spare no effort.
Because they fear their grandchildren might be abducted.
This tactic is truly brilliant, grasping their psychology tightly.
"Let’s go, let’s check out Unit 2 in Building No. 3."
The two headed towards Unit 2 of Building No. 3.
The apartments here are small units, one staircase for three households.
Six floors, a total of eighteen households.
Upon reaching the first floor, Lin Yi didn’t linger and went straight up to the second floor.
Li Xuedan followed behind, puzzled.
The range is already very small, a total of eighteen households, knocking on doors one by one won’t take much time.
"Could it be that the first floor doesn’t need checking?"
"No need, he’s not hiding here."
Lin Yi continued straight up to the second floor, but also didn’t linger.
Li Xuedan was bewildered, could only follow behind Lin Yi.
Until they reached the fourth floor, only pausing for a while.
Then went upstairs again until they reached the sixth floor, but quickly turned back to the fourth floor.
And stood in front of the door of 402.
Knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside.
Lin Yi knocked a few more times, still no response.
Grasping the door handle, Lin Yi’s large hand exerted force, effortlessly twisting the lock apart.
Li Xuedan stared, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
He pulled open the door, Lin Yi walked inside.
Sure enough, saw the Daoist priest named Zhenyi standing nervously in the living room.
Li Xuedan’s eyes were filled with surprise.
She couldn’t understand at all.
How did Lin Yi know Zhenyi was hiding here?
"Didn’t expect our second meeting would be here."
Lin Yi looked at Zhenyi and said with a smile.
"You, what are you doing here? We shouldn’t be familiar with each other."
Lin Yi didn’t respond; he saw a cloth bundle on the coffee table, about twenty centimeters tall.
He vaguely guessed the items inside the cloth bundle were the Scriptures he stole.
"There’s no point in talking about this now."
Lin Yi walked to the coffee table.
Opened the cloth bundle, just as he suspected.
Both of their gazes once again fell on Zhenyi.
The latter’s face was as pale as a gravely ill patient.
"Speak, who bribed you, and how are you going to transact?"
With a loud thud!
Zhenyi kneeled to the ground.
"I was overcome by greed; they gave me 200,000. I was blinded by money. Please give me another chance."
"Be honest, who gave you the money; the items are all out, how are you going to transact after this?"
"They said to go to Grain Factory at three in the afternoon."
Lin Yi tilted his head to look at Li Xuedan.
"Where is Grain Factory?"
"12 kilometers on Highway 302, but it closed down many years ago, and no one has taken over since."
Lin Yi checked the time on his phone.
"It’s now two in the afternoon, how long will it take to drive there?"
"Between 20 to 30 minutes."
"Okay."
Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry; secret meetings like these can’t be too early or too late, or they would raise suspicion.
"I’ve told you everything, if I return the money, can you let me go?"
"Do you think that’s possible?"
Lin Yi said:
"This isn’t just simple theft, but whether the punishment is lenient depends on how you cooperate."
"I, I will definitely cooperate fully."
Interrogating Zhenyi wasn’t difficult at all; for someone like him, Lin Yi doesn’t even need to step in.
Even Li Xuedan could easily get this information.
"Go contact a taxi; we’ll need it later."
"Got it."
Using her status, Li Xuedan quickly found a taxi.
The time was now half past two in the afternoon.
"Leader, I think it’s about time."
"Let’s go."
The two of them took Zhenyi out of the room, arrived at the taxi.
Lin Yi said to Li Xuedan:
"You sit in the back seat and hide yourself; don’t let anyone see you."
"Got it."
Lin Yi drove the car, heading to the Grain Factory along the pre-set route.
Outside the Grain Factory, a white SUV was parked.
There was a person inside, wearing a mask and hat.
The brim was pulled down low, unable to even see the eyes.
Lin Yi controlled the speed just right, arriving at the Grain Factory at exactly three o’clock.
But Lin Yi didn’t linger; after dropping off Zhenyi, he left on his own.
Letting others truly believe he was just a taxi driver.
"Are we just leaving?" Li Xuedan asked.
"There’s someone observing outside; if too close, they’ll notice, the transaction will be aborted, and we’ll have nothing."
Lin Yi calmly said:
"When they see Zhenyi hasn’t brought the things they want, they will leave immediately; that’s the best time for capture."
"But if they run, we won’t be able to find them," Li Xuedan said:
"I’ll get in touch with others to block the road ahead now."
"No need, it’s too troublesome," Lin Yi said nonchalantly:
"We’ll just wait here."
Lin Yi steered the car onto a small path, about 200 meters from the Grain Factory.
Li Xuedan sat in the back seat, looking toward the Grain Factory.
At this moment, he couldn’t see the SUV anymore.
He didn’t even know what was happening there.
But for Lin Yi, it was no big deal.
With his eyesight, nothing escaped his watch.
After about ten minutes, Lin Yi restarted the car.
"Get ready, it’s time for action."
"Understood."
Driving the car back onto the highway, Lin Yi floored the gas pedal.
The intense feeling of acceleration made Li Xuedan a bit uncomfortable.
Being able to drive a taxi like this was indeed eye-opening.
Utilizing the advantage from the start, the distance between Lin Yi and the white SUV grew closer.
The latter seemed to notice something, a few people rushed onto the car, ready to leave.
At this point, the distance between the two vehicles was less than a hundred meters.
Lin Yi floored the gas pedal, the engine made a strange noise, but it did not affect his speed.
At the same time, the white SUV began to accelerate.
But Lin Yi’s speed was faster, aiming for the left rear wheel.
