After more thought, Zhao Yu finally came to a conclusion that was contrary to his previous one. He believed that the real purpose of the mysterious man was not actually to rescue Jiang Ke. What the mysterious man really wanted to do was to either kill Jiang Ke or capture him alive!

Zhao Yu finally figured out that on the bridge, the mysterious man did not want to spare Jiang Ke. However, if Jiang Ke and Zhao Yu had been blown up together, it would be harmful to the mysterious man’s plan!

Jiang Ke had just escaped from prison with Zhao Yu’s help. If he had been killed on the bridge with Zhao Yu, the police would have investigated the cause of their deaths. Because of that, the mysterious man would fall under suspicion and become the target of the police investigation. But, if the bomb just killed Zhao Yu, the police would believe that Zhao Yu was killed by Jiang Ke. Then Jiang Ke would fall under suspicion.

After that, if the mysterious man wanted to disappear from the police’s eyes, he just needed to do one more thing. That was to not let Jiang Ke get caught by the police. If Jiang Ke was arrested, he would surely tell the police how he escaped. At that time, the mysterious man would not be able to get away with what he did.

So, what could the mysterious man do to prevent Jiang Ke from being found by the police?

The best way, of course, was to make Jiang Ke disappear! How could the mysterious man do this? The simplest way was either to keep Jiang Ke captive or to kill him.

Therefore, after saving Jiang Ke, the mysterious man informed Cao Sifen of Jiang Ke’s location and asked him to go to Yaoming. Jiang Ke was Cao Sifen’s sworn enemy. After getting the news, he would certainly go to Yaoming to find Jiang Ke for revenge! This way, it seemed that everything could be explained!

Next, Zhao Yu thought about the whole thing again while imagining himself as the mysterious man. He realized that the mysterious man might have thought about the plan to have Cao Sifen destroy Jiang Ke for a long time, so he let Cao Sifen go to Yaoming in advance to wait for the opportunity to kill Jiang Ke.

However, there were bound to be loopholes no matter how comprehensive the mysterious man’s plan was. That was, the van that should have exploded on the bridge didn’t explode! This disturbed his plan, so he had to ask Jiang Ke to drive the van away.

After that, the mysterious man might have asked Jiang Ke to destroy the van, so that Cao Sifen could take the opportunity to capture Jiang Ke when he was alone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ke did not go to destroy the van himself, but instead hid in Tian Xudong’s supermarket. The one who went to destroy the van was A Rong, who worked under Tian Xudong.

When Cao Sifen captured A Rong, the mysterious man had to change his plan again. Then, Cao Sifen and his men went to the supermarket to find Jiang Ke. This was how the big explosion in the supermarket happened.

This is interesting! Zhao Yu thought. He suddenly had a new thought. If he could find Cao Sifen, maybe he could know who the mysterious man was. It seemed that the mysterious man only wanted to use Cao Sifen to kill Jiang Ke, but this could not be done with just one phone call or a short message! If the mysterious man wanted Cao Sifen to believe in what he said, he must have communicated with him a lot. Therefore, even if Cao Sifen did not know who the mysterious man was, he must know something! And Cao Sifen might even work under the mysterious man.

Zhao Yu circled Cao Sifen’s name on the wall and thought about how he could catch this fellow. He had already asked Jiang Ke’s men to find information about the mysterious man.

Then, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that he hadn’t had time to check Miao Ying’s email since he got his mobile phone back. After such a long time, Miao Ying should have answered the letter.

When he took out the phone, Zhao Yu got a bad feeling. After he used a Hacker’s Command to confirm that the mobile phone was not monitored, he opened the secret mailbox. There were more than ten new letters from Miao Ying. The early ones were filled with her anger. Miao Ying did not understand the whole story and naturally felt very angry at Zhao Yu’s behavior. She swore a lot in them.

In her letter, Miao Ying asked Zhao Yu to return to the team immediately. In her words, the situation was now complicated and it was not the time for Zhao Yu to insist on his heroism. She advised Zhao Yu to consider everything in the long run and not to rush for quick success and an instant payoff.

However, Zhao Yu could not let Miao Ying know his reason for doing what he was doing despite the suffering it caused him. He had now succeeded in finding the base of the thieves. He certainly couldn’t give up easily.

Although Miao Ying was angry, she still reported her current progress to Zhao Yu as he had requested. At present, Yaoming police were dealing with Jiang Ke’s jailbreak and the explosion at the seafood supermarket. Miao Ying had been investigating the prison guard’s cell phone and the yellow van. However, the mysterious man was very careful, and no obvious clue had been found yet.

Also, she encountered a dead end in investigating Wu Fangfang’s murder. Changming police exhausted their energy but failed to find out who the suspect was that had been riding an electric motorcycle near the park when Wu Fangfang was murdered. The rider seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Currently, Wu Xiumin and the others were still carefully analyzing what Wu Fangfang and Shi Hai had found to see if they could reach a breakthrough. Miao Ying also got a detailed report about Cao Sifen from the police’s side. The information was pretty much the same as what Zhao Yu had gotten from Jiang Ke’s file, but Miao Ying’s was more objective.

Long ago, Jiang Ke and Cao Sifen worked together and were good friends, but they later went their separate ways because of disputes. The two became enemies because Cao Sifen framed Jiang Ke, causing several of Jiang Ke’s men to go to prison. Jiang Ke, in turn, launched a mad counter-attack. As a result, Cao Sifen’s force had to move to Halongjiang, and his eldest wife was killed! Since then, they hated each other to the extreme and looked for every chance to seek revenge.

Zhao Yu finally understood the two men’s history. Miao Ying’s report also said that Cao Sifen was wanted by the police for many years. It was not an easy thing to catch him immediately. Finally, Miao Ying told Zhao Yu that through bridge cameras’ footage, the police saw Zhao Yu being pushed down by Jiang Ke. Miao Ying was extremely frightened. If she hadn’t received Zhao Yu’s letter, she wouldn’t have believed that Zhao Yu was still alive.

Of course, Miao Ying was the only one who knew that Zhao Yu was still alive. Other police had confirmed Zhao Yu’s death, so they were all in low morale. Miao Ying was now in a very difficult situation. On one hand, she was afraid of affecting the group’s investigation progress, so she had not informed Wu Xiumin and other members of Zhao Yu’s death.

On the other hand, in order not to arouse the mysterious man’s suspicion, she had to pretend to be in great pain and sent people to the lower reaches of the Hongming River to search for Zhao Yu’s body. Now Miao Ying was under great pressure. In addition to her intensive work, she was extremely worried about Zhao Yu’s safety. She was especially anxious when she didn’t get a reply from Zhao Yu for a long time.

After finishing the letter, Zhao Yu wrote back to Miao Ying in a hurry. He confirmed his safety and also told Miao Ying what happened to him.

Of course, he didn’t tell Miao Ying that he had changed his face, which she would find ridiculous. He said that he was following the thieves secretly. Moreover, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yu did not tell Miao Ying the exact location of the thieves’ base. He asked that Miao Ying focus on her work at Yaoming and try to find Cao Sifen. He promised that he would surely accomplish his task at the thieves’ base. Zhao Yu had just sent the letter when the landline phone in his room rang suddenly. It was a call from Big Bear Zhang.

Big Bear Zhang told Zhao Yu that he had arranged a meeting for Zhao Yu and the investors. As they were eager to see Jiang Ke for their money, the meeting would be held in a secret place this evening. Big Bear Zhang said, “Because the cigarette plan failed, the investors are not happy. And, you just escaped from prison! So, we need to make some preparations for this meeting!” Zhao Yu said, “Give me the address first. I know what to do!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu had a wicked light in his eyes and said to himself, “Tonight, there’s going to be another good show!”
