Chapter 177 Xu Jiang is captured
Jiuchang Street, Gao Qiqiang’s home.
After dinner, Gao Qiqiang put on his coat and prepared to go out.
"Brother, are you going out?" Gao Qisheng asked puzzledly.
"Well, let's go out and digest the food." Gao Qiqiang said with a smile.
"Oh, then go ahead! By the way, why didn't you set up your stall today?" Gao Qisheng suddenly asked.
"I'm tired and want to rest for a few days. Why can't I take a break after working so hard day after day for ten years?" Gao Qiqiang did not tell his brother about what Qi Tongwei asked him to do.
Gao Qisheng knew that his brother was hiding something from him, but he did not expose it directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, of course, you should take a rest."
Gao Qiqiang smiled and said, "You study at home, I'll go out for a walk."
"Okay." Gao Qisheng responded without raising his head.
However, as soon as Gao Qiqiang stepped out of the house, he quickly followed.
Gao Qiqiang did not notice that his brother was following him. He went to a restaurant and bought three meals, preparing to send them to An Xin and others.
While he was waiting for his meal, a burly man wearing a hat slowly walked past the restaurant door.
The person who came was Xu Jiang. Night had just fallen and dinner time had just passed. It was the time when people were most likely to relax their vigilance. Xu Jiang deliberately chose this time period to go out.
Just now, he received information from a loyal younger brother he had arranged to be with Bai Jiangbo that the Tang brothers were now staying at home.
After receiving the news, he immediately took weapons and ammunition and rushed to Jiuchang Street without stopping.
After arriving near the Tang brothers' home, Xu Jiang found a secluded place to hide and carefully observed the surroundings to see if there was anything unusual.
He observed quietly for about five minutes, and after confirming that there was no problem, he lowered his head and slowly approached the Tang brothers' residence and walked up the stairs.
However, Xu Jiang didn't know that when he just walked downstairs, he had already been noticed by An Xin who was in charge of ambush.
Seeing that it was Xu Jiang, An Xin suppressed her excitement and made a gesture to Li Xiang and Zhang Zhicheng.
"Xu Jiang is here." An Xin mouthed. Although there was no sound, Li Xiang and Zhang Zhicheng understood it and came to the window excitedly.
Li Xiang made a gesture to the two men, indicating that they should load their bullets and prepare for battle.
After making preparations, the three confirmed that Xu Jiang had gone upstairs, then pushed the door and started chasing him.
Just as Xu Jiang was holding the pistol tightly in his hand and cautiously approaching the door of the Tang brothers' house, An Xin and three others suddenly appeared and pounced on him at lightning speed.
Xu Jiang felt the breath behind him and realized something was wrong. He quickly turned around, looked back and prepared to shoot.
Before he could do anything, An Xin pounced on him. Zhang Zhicheng stepped forward and grabbed Xu Jiang's hand holding the gun, and Li Xiang quickly handcuffed him.
Everything was done at lightning speed, leaving Xu Jiang no chance to resist.
In order to keep it secret, An Xin took off her coat and covered Xu Jiang's head with it, covered his mouth, and then took Xu Jiang away without attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
An Xin and the other two escorted Xu Jiang down from upstairs, where they met Gao Qiqiang who came to deliver food.
Gao Qiqiang was shocked by the scene in front of him. If he didn't know that the three people were police officers, he would have thought he had encountered robbers.
Seeing that it was Gao Qiqiang, An Xin and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
An Xin gave Gao Qiqiang a look, the meaning of which was very clear - don't talk.
Then, he lowered his voice and said to Gao Qiqiang: "Put down the food and leave immediately.
Remember, don't tell anyone what you saw here, understand?"
Gao Qiqiang nodded quickly to show that he understood.
Gao Qiqiang was very sensible. Although he was curious, he did not ask any questions. Instead, he handed the meal to Zhang Zhicheng, who was still empty-handed, and turned and left without hesitation without looking back.
An Xin and the other two nodded silently at Gao Qiqiang as he left, expressing their approval of his actions.
Afterwards, the three men escorted Xu Jiang to the temporary room.
After arriving in the room, Li Xiang said to Xu Jiang: "Xu Jiang, open your mouth now, but you can't shout loudly. If you agree, just nod your head."
Xu Jiang nodded in agreement, and Li Xiang signaled An Xin to let go of her hand.
Only then did An Xin reluctantly lift the coat off his head and release her hand that was covering his mouth.
"It's you?" Xu Jiang recognized Li Xiang, the policeman handling his son's case. His heart suddenly turned cold, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Yes, it's me." Li Xiang showed a proud smile on his face. He was extremely excited about catching Xu Jiang. He was sure to win the second-class individual merit.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jiang regained some composure and asked, "How much do you make a month?"
"What does it have to do with you?" An Xin asked.
“You only make about 1,800 yuan a month. Even if you work for a hundred years, how much can you earn? Moreover, you may encounter danger from time to time.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I will give each of you 500 million yuan, and you will let me go." Xu Jiang tempted.
"Bah, who wants your filthy money? All the money you earn is the hard-earned money of the people." Li Xiang interrupted Xu Jiang. He was afraid that if he listened to Xu Jiang any further, he would not be able to resist the temptation and let him go.
"Five million is not enough, I'll give you..."
"Shut up, Xu Jiang. If you say one more word, I will shut your mouth. An Xin will call the director." Li Xiang saw that Zhang Zhicheng was somewhat interested and spoke quickly.
An Xin nodded and called Qi Tongwei to tell him that Xu Jiang had been arrested.
"Okay, great, I'm going to commend you three.
You just stay in the house and don't go anywhere. I will arrange for Zhang Jun to pick you up right away. " Qi Tongwei gave this instruction and then hung up the phone. Before he could see Xu Jiang, there were still variables.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately instructed his driver Zhang Jun to drive the unfamiliar car he had purchased some time ago to Jiuchang Street to pick up An Xin and others. He himself walked outside, pretending to go for exercise.
Now is the time to hide it as long as possible.
An Xin's phone call completely stopped Xu Jiang from wanting to bribe.
At the same time, after Gao Qiqiang walked about 200 meters, he was stopped by his younger brother Gao Qisheng.
"Brother, what happened just now?"
He saw from afar An Xin and two other people escorting people into the house and thought it was a kidnapping. He was worried that his eldest brother was also involved.
During this period, he also heard about Xu Jiang's downfall, which made him realize that there was no future in the underworld. If his boss was involved in the kidnapping, his own career path would be over.
However, Gao Qisheng absolutely admires his elder brother Gao Qiqiang. Assuming that Gao Qiqiang is really involved in underworld activities, he will not blame him. He just wants to get to the bottom of it and give his brother some advice.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his brother, Gao Qiqiang pulled him forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's the police who are arresting people. I'm delivering food to them according to Director Qi's instructions."
Gao Qisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a kidnapping.
Then he became excited again. His brother actually had contact with Qi Tongwei. What a big and thick leg.
"Brother, do you know who was arrested?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Let's go back quickly." Gao Qiqiang said in a low voice.
In fact, he had already guessed that the person An Xin and others caught must be Xu Jiang, he just pretended not to know.
