"Who exactly are you?" Old Mrs. Yao cried out. Zhao Jiu gave her a cold glance, said nothing, and pulled the car over to the side of the road. The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Boss, where to?"

Zhao Jiu looked up, slightly startled, and his expression instantly changed as he looked at the newcomer: "Wu Qi, what are you doing here?"

Wu Qi's expression changed as he looked at Zhao Jiu, feigning surprise: "Ninth Master, what are you doing here? Brother Long is looking everywhere for you!"

Zhao Jiu sneered, "I know, but he'll never find me. Tell me, did Wang Dalong send you to kill me, right?" Zhao Jiu gripped the dagger at his waist tightly with his right hand and pulled it out with a swift motion.

Wu Qi's expression tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "Ninth Master, don't misunderstand. I'm no longer involved in Bu Liao Yuan. After Brother Long's men took over Bu Liao Yuan, they kicked us all out. We had nowhere to go, so I found a car and started driving an unlicensed taxi. Ninth Master, where are you going? I'll take you."

A strange smile appeared on Zhao Jiu's face, as if he thought Zhao Jiu was a three-year-old: "You're taking me? Where are you taking me? Are you taking me to see Wang Dalong? Or are you taking me to my death?"

Wu Qi became anxious: "Ninth Master, look at what you're saying, don't you believe me? I used to be Ninth Master's man, and I'll be Ninth Master's ghost even in death. What is Wang Dalong? You were his brother for so many years, and he still sold you out. Moreover, he even sent people to kill you. He's simply a scoundrel." Wu Qi was filled with righteous indignation, but in his heart, he was praying.

Zhao Jiu's expression grew even stranger. He quickly looked around, and seeing no one else approaching, his expression relaxed slightly. However, his vigilance remained: "Wu Qi, I don't care who sent you. You can leave. Leave the car behind. No, you can drive the car away too. Remember, pretend you didn't see me. Do you understand? Otherwise, you know what I can do." With that, a sinister glint appeared in Zhao Jiu's eyes. There might be a GPS tracker in the car, so it couldn't be used either.

Wu Qi was startled, but when he thought about the mission he and Wu Ba had been given, he was unwilling. However, he also knew that Zhao Jiu was like a frightened bird and would never get in his car, much less leave it behind. This man was too cautious.

"Well then, Ninth Master, please be careful. I'm leaving now." With that, he started the car and slowly drove away into the distance.

Zhao Jiu watched the car drive away before secretly breathing a sigh of relief. How could Wu Qi have appeared? Could it be that he had been discovered by Wang Dalong's men? Oh no, he had to run away quickly.

Thinking of this, he pulled the old lady away, causing her to stumble several times and almost fall to the ground.

"Old man, hurry up and move along. If you dawdle any longer, I'll get rough with you." With that, his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Not far away, Wu Qi watched the two leave quickly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. That old guy, he's really cunning. What to do? Just then, his phone rang: "Hey, how's it going? Did the fish take the bait?"

"No, he's running outside right now. He probably sensed something and is preparing to run away."

"What? Keep an eye on him, don't let him out of your sight. I'll ask Brother Long for instructions right away." With that, the phone slammed down.

Upon hearing that Zhao Jiu was going to escape, Wang Dalong's heart tightened. If Zhao Jiu really escaped, it would be very difficult to catch him again. Thinking of this, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed: "Shan Gang, have Mao Heizi take some men to ******. Before they go, contact Wu Qi first. Remember to tell him to bring Zhao Jiu's head back." It seemed that if he didn't act soon, Zhao Jiu would escape, and catching him alive was simply unrealistic.

"Understood." Dan Gang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Zhao Jiu was doomed. Now that the Burmese were gone, they had to take matters into their own hands.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy. Zhao Jiu had followed Brother Long for so many years, and he could still do such a thing. What if it were his turn one day? Would Brother Long do the same? He was uncertain, but he had no choice but to carry out Brother Long's orders. He picked up the phone and called a short, dark-skinned man into the office.

About five minutes later, two vans sped out of the backyard of Tianlong Group.

Zhao Jiu felt a growing sense of unease. He had a feeling something was about to happen. If Wu Qi had already sided with Brother Long, then he must have been testing him just now, to see if he could be captured alive. To Brother Long, a living Wu Qi was far more valuable than a dead one. Thinking of this, he shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. No, he couldn't keep this old burden with him. If Wang Dalong's men spotted him, it would be a huge problem.

Thinking this, he glared at the old woman and considered killing her. But then he reconsidered. Why should he take another life? Besides, the new police chief in Gaoshan County was not someone to mess with. With that thought, he abandoned the old woman and ran away, disappearing from sight in no time.

Seeing this from afar, Wu Qi panicked instantly and sped off in his car. Zhao Jiu turned his head, saw Wu Qi's car, and was startled. He turned and ran into the alley. He knew that Wu Qi must have been sent by Wang Dalong, and that Wu Qi must have had helpers; he wasn't alone.

Just then, another person suddenly ran out from the opposite side and looked at Zhao Jiu: "Ninth Master, where are you going?"

Zhao Jiu looked up and was startled: "It's you, Wu Ba. Sure enough, you brothers have sided with Wang Dalong."

"So what if it is, Ninth Master? Surrender now, you can't escape."

"Damn it, you two little bastards think you can trap Ninth Master? Dream on!" With that, he flipped his hand, revealing a dagger, and lunged at Wu Ba. The latter quickly raised his hand, grabbing an iron rod to block Zhao Jiu's path. His expression was slightly tense. He knew that Zhao Jiu was skilled with a dagger, and the blade was fast.

"Die!" Zhao Jiu lunged forward viciously, and Wu Ba quickly grabbed his iron rod and met him. With a crisp clang, the dagger and the iron rod collided, sparks flying.

Zhao Jiu's dagger went straight for Wu Ba's stomach, and the latter was so frightened that he retreated. Seeing that his opponent was terrified, Zhao Jiu quickly ran away. But just then, someone shouted from behind, "Master Jiu, where are you going?!" The person was Wu Qi.

Zhao Jiu's expression changed, he cursed, and dared not linger, continuing to run away. Right now, all he wanted was to find Lin Ying. Only with Lin Ying's protection could he avoid Wang Dalong's clutches.

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed: "Hello, Director Lin, this is Zhao Jiu. I'm in an alley on Qingyun Road right now. Wang Dalong's men are trying to kill me. You must send someone to protect me. I'm willing to be a witness for the prosecution."

Lin Ying was startled: "Find a place to hide right now, I'll send someone over." With a snap, the phone was disconnected, and Lin Ying quickly called Yuan Xiong.

However, at that moment, Zhao Jiu looked up and saw two white vans speeding towards him in the distance, and his expression changed drastically...
