Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 170 Vanished into thin air?
He paused, his tone becoming even heavier: "But Qin William is too cunning; he may have sensed something too."

"My comrades just said they spotted two unfamiliar cars loitering around Li Hongmei's house. They're worried that Qin Weilian is trying to cause trouble before tomorrow's operation to distract them, or maybe he's just desperate!"

An Min's face was grave: "Then...then Hongmei and the others..."

Liang Yi immediately picked up his coat and put it on.

"No, I can't rest easy. I have to go check on things! Tonight might be a bit unsettling. You stay home alone, lock the doors and windows, and don't open the door for anyone. Wait for my call!"

After saying that, Liang Yi hurriedly grabbed his car keys and quickly disappeared into the night.

Anmin chased after it to the door, only to see the red taillights of the car quickly disappear into the dark night.

Her heart pounded, and a tremendous sense of unease, like the impending storm, completely enveloped her.

As soon as Liang Yi's car arrived at the entrance of Li Hongmei's alley, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Two unlicensed vans sat like ghosts in the shadows, with shadowy figures moving inside.

Instead of driving directly there, he parked the car some distance away, turned off the engine, and quietly approached under the cover of night.

Meanwhile, he found a small shop and made a phone call to his comrades.

"I have reached the alley entrance and spotted two suspicious vehicles. The number of people in them is unknown. I request immediate assistance."

He had just finished the call when he saw the lights on the first floor of Li Hongmei's house suddenly go out.

Immediately afterwards, the light in the second-floor bedroom turned on and then quickly went out.

This was the emergency signal he and Zhang Jianguo had agreed upon.

Liang Yi's heart tightened. Without further hesitation, he immediately crouched down and, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, quickly circled around from the neighbor's backyard to approach.

Just as he was about to reach Li Hongmei's backyard, he heard several low shouts and struggling sounds from ahead.

"Ugh... What are you doing! Let me go!"

It was Zhang Jianguo's voice, but it seemed like someone had covered his mouth.

"Behave yourself! If you move again, I won't be polite!"

A fierce male voice threatened.

Liang Yi held his breath and peered out. He saw two burly men, one on each side, dragging Zhang Jianguo toward one of the vans.

Li Hongmei was also being controlled by another man. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she dared not make a sound.

Clearly, Qin Weilian was desperate and wanted to kidnap Zhang Jianguo and his wife, either as hostages or for revenge and to silence them.

Just as Zhang Jianguo was about to be shoved into the car, Liang Yi estimated that it would still take some time for the reinforcements to arrive.

He couldn't wait any longer. He suddenly sprang out of the shadows like a cheetah and hissed, "Stop!"

The three thugs were startled by the sudden sound and froze in their tracks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liang Yi stepped forward and delivered a swift and decisive chop to the wrist of the person covering Li Hongmei's mouth.

"what!"

The man felt the pain and instinctively let go of her hand.

Liang Yi pulled Li Hongmei behind him and at the same time delivered a powerful side kick with his left foot, striking the thug who was trying to push Zhang Jianguo into the car hard in the waist!

The movements were lightning fast, executed in one smooth motion!
"Damn it! You're looking for trouble!"

The remaining two thugs reacted, cursing as they released Zhang Jianguo, pulled out gleaming daggers from their waists, and pounced on Liang Yi.

Liang Yi remained calm under pressure and pushed aside the still-shaken Zhang Jianguo: "Take Hongmei inside! Lock the door!"

He then went to meet the two thugs.

Although his opponent had a knife, Liang Yi, being a former soldier, was agile and possessed solid fighting skills. He nimbly dodged the slashing dagger, seized an opening, grabbed his opponent's wrist with a grappling move, and twisted it forcefully.

With a snap and a scream, the dagger clattered to the ground.

Seeing this, the other thug hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Just then, the piercing sound of sirens grew louder as they approached! The reinforcements had finally arrived.

Several SUVs suddenly rushed into the alley, their blinding headlights illuminating the scene as if it were daytime.

The car door opened, and more than a dozen strong men quickly got out and surrounded the scene.

"Don't move! Police!"

Upon seeing this, the three thugs were terrified and dared not resist. They immediately threw away their daggers, covered their heads, and squatted on the ground.

Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to his comrade in charge, "Quick! Qin Weilian might be trying to escape!"

His comrade nodded and directed his men to handcuff the three thugs.

They currently do not know whether Qin Weilian is here or not.

However, based on the phone number we found earlier, he is very likely hiding here.

So everyone set up a perimeter, leaving Qin Weilian nowhere to escape.

However, this Qin William was indeed as cunning as an eel.

When the police arrived at the luxury hotel suite he had been staying in overnight, it was already deserted, with only some everyday items left behind. Many things had been dismantled and destroyed.

Subsequent investigations revealed that he canceled several previously used mobile phone numbers around the same time, and a large sum of money in his accounts was quickly transferred out.

He was captured by his own men, and then vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.

A few days later, based on the confessions of the arrested criminals and the final confirmation from their comrades in the south, the case was solved.

Qin Weilian's crime of reselling scarce military supplies through a freight company has been basically confirmed, and the police have issued an arrest warrant.

But ultimately, they failed to catch him on the spot.

The matter has finally come to a temporary end, and Li Hongmei's family has escaped unscathed, avoiding a greater disaster.

Zhang Jianguo was extremely grateful to Liang Yi. If it weren't for Liang Yi's timely arrival and previous reminder, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

That evening, when Liang Yi returned home, An Min, with red eyes, rushed into his arms, still shaken by the experience.

Liang Yi gently patted her back, looking out the window at the still deep night sky, which had returned to tranquility, but his brows were not completely relaxed.

"Alright, it's all over now. Qin William has already run away. He can't stay in the country anymore, so he probably won't dare to come back."

He comforted his wife.

Anmin looked up, asking worriedly, "Really? Someone like him... what if he does that in the future..."

Liang Yi paused for a moment, then did not answer.

He knew that Qin Weilian was a meticulous, ruthless person with a potentially deeper background.

Although they were lucky enough to thwart his plot and force him to flee this time, no one can guarantee that he won't come back one day under a different identity.

The immediate crisis has been resolved, and life has returned to a superficial calm.

But this experience cast a shadow that is difficult to completely dispel in the hearts of Liang Yi, An Min, and Li Hongmei's family.

However, life goes on. Having weathered this storm, they cherish even more the people around them and this hard-won peace.

Qin Weilian has been restricted from returning to China; he will be arrested as soon as he appears.

It seems that saving Anlu back then wasn't out of genuine affection, but rather for personal gain.
