Chapter 499: Cannot Cover Up
The friend was silent for a moment, then said, "Ruilong, you have committed such a serious crime, how can I help you? You should turn yourself in and try to get a lighter sentence."
Zhao Ruilong said in despair: "No, I can't turn myself in. Once I'm caught, it's over. You must help me find a safe place to hide."
The friend sighed and said, "Ruilong, you are courting death. You can escape for a while, but not forever. You should think about it carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong fell into deep despair. He knew that he had no way out. He could only continue to flee and wait for the judgment of fate.
In China, Zhao Lichun was formally arrested. His face was filled with despair and regret. He knew that his life was completely over.
Zhao Ruilong's escape abroad is still going on. His spirit is on the verge of collapse, and he doesn't know how long he can hold on.
During this long and difficult process, Zhao Ruilong constantly reflected on his life. He began to understand how wrong and stupid his past actions were. He regretted not cherishing everything he once had and regretted embarking on this criminal path.
But now, it was too late. He could only wait for the final judgment of fate while on the run.
As time went on, the hunt for Zhao Ruilong intensified, and Interpol also joined the hunt, making Zhao Ruilong's situation even more difficult.
He hid everywhere, not daring to show his face. His life became like hell, full of fear and despair.
Zhao Ruilong curled up in a dark and damp corner, his heart filled with fear and despair. He knew he had nowhere to go, but his instinct for survival made him keep looking for a glimmer of hope. At this desperate moment, he thought of Qi Tongwei.
In the past, they colluded with each other in the game of power and did whatever it took for their own interests. Now, he can only hope that Qi Tongwei still cares about their old friendship and can lend a helping hand.
Zhao Ruilong dialed Qi Tongwei's number with trembling hands. Qi Tongwei's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhao Ruilong seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Tongwei, save me! I'm being hunted by Interpol and have nowhere to go." Zhao Ruilong said anxiously.
Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, his heart full of contradictions. He knew that his current situation was also very difficult. Gao Yuliang had decided to confess to the organization, and he was also considering his own way out. But facing Zhao Ruilong's request for help, he was a little reluctant.
"Ruilong, your current situation is very dangerous. I don't know if I can help you." Qi Tongwei said hesitantly.
"Tongwei, for the sake of our previous relationship, you must help me. As long as you can rescue me, I will never forget your kindness." Zhao Ruilong pleaded bitterly.
Qi Tongwei's heart softened, he thought of the days he had spent with Zhao Ruilong, the pleasures brought by power and wealth. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
Qi Tongwei began to use his connections to try to extradite Zhao Ruilong to China under the pursuit of Interpol. He knew it was a very dangerous thing, but he had no way out.
After some difficult operations, Qi Tongwei finally succeeded in extraditing Zhao Ruilong to China. He personally interrogated Zhao Ruilong, feeling conflicted.
He knew that he should bring Zhao Ruilong to justice, but he was worried that doing so would bring him more trouble. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to shield Zhao Ruilong and let him off the hook.
However, Qi Tongwei's decision caused an uproar. For Zhao Lichun, this was undoubtedly a good thing. He saw a glimmer of hope and thought he still had a chance to escape legal sanctions.
Zhao Lichun began to secretly contact Qi Tongwei, trying to use him to protect himself and Zhao Ruilong. He promised Qi Tongwei various benefits, hoping that he would continue to work for them.
But for Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei's behavior made him very angry. He knew that Qi Tongwei was courting death and would bring them more trouble.
Gao Yuliang found Qi Tongwei and severely criticized his behavior.
"Tongwei, how could you do such a thing? You are playing with fire and getting burned!" Gao Yuliang said angrily.
Qi Tongwei lowered his head, not daring to look Gao Yuliang in the eye. He knew he had done something wrong, but he could no longer turn back.
"Teacher, I have no choice. Zhao Ruilong begged me to help him, and I can't just stand by and watch him die." Qi Tongwei said helplessly.
"Stupid! If you shield him now, it will only put us in deeper trouble. You must correct your mistake immediately and hand Zhao Ruilong over to the organization for handling." Gao Yuliang said.
Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, I have already done it. It is too late to regret now. We can only find a way to deal with the next situation."
Gao Yuliang was so angry that his face turned blue. He knew that Qi Tongwei had fallen into a quagmire and couldn't get out. He sighed helplessly and turned away.
At the same time, Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang also learned that Qi Tongwei had shielded Zhao Ruilong. They were shocked and angry.
"Qi Tongwei really disappoints us. He actually dared to shield criminals. This is a blatant challenge to the law," Chen Yanshi said angrily.
Chief Prosecutor Wang nodded and said, "We must take action and not let them succeed. We must bring Zhao Ruilong to justice as soon as possible and ensure justice is served."
Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang began to intensify their investigation, collecting evidence and preparing to expose Qi Tongwei's crimes. Qi Tongwei also felt tremendous pressure, knowing that he had become the target of public criticism.
At this critical moment, Qi Tongwei fell into a deep contradiction. On the one hand, he did not want to lose his power and status, but on the other hand, he was worried about being punished by law. He began to regret his decision, but there was no turning back.
Zhao Ruilong also felt Qi Tongwei's hesitation and uneasiness. He knew that he could no longer rely on Qi Tongwei and had to find a way to save himself.
Zhao Ruilong began to secretly contact other forces, trying to find a new way out. He used his wealth to buy people's hearts, hoping to find someone who could protect him.
However, Zhao Ruilong's behavior did not escape the eyes of Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang. They closely monitored Zhao Ruilong's every move, waiting for the opportunity to catch him in one fell swoop.
As the investigation deepened, Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang obtained more and more evidence and decided to take action against Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong.
On a stormy night, Chen Yanshi and Prosecutor Wang led the police in a surprise arrest of Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong.
