Jiang Ning used a binding rope to tie up Skinny Wang, then searched his body and took his cell phone and pager.
She looked at the pager in her hands, confirmed that Skinny Wang had not sent a message to those people below, and immediately went to meet up with Qi Xingzhou.
When Jiang Ning found Qi Xingzhou, the unconscious Hei Mazi had already been tied up by Qi Xingzhou, and Hei Mazi’s pager and cell phone had been tossed aside by Qi Xingzhou.
"Tie him up to the trunk, so even if he wakes up, he can’t run." Jiang Ning said, stepping forward to work with Qi Xingzhou to bind Hei Mazi tightly under a large tree.
After completing this task, the two of them hastily descended the mountain.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be curious about how Qi Xingzhou managed to catch up with Hei Mazi, who had run so fast.
Actually, when she first saw Hei Mazi run away, Jiang Ning had thought she would be the one to chase after Hei Mazi, but just as she was getting up to pursue, Qi Xingzhou stopped her, saying he would go after Hei Mazi himself.
Jiang Ning trusted Qi Xingzhou, so she let him go.
"I called another big snake to trip Hei Mazi," Qi Xingzhou answered concisely, and it seemed as if he thought of something, his expression one of disdain, "As a result, he not only started crying, he wet himself."
No wonder she had sensed a strange smell when she was tying up Hei Mazi.
She had thought it was just her imagination.
But surely, anyone who finds themselves tripped by a big snake would have a hard time remaining calm.
The path downhill was simpler than the way up, and without worrying about being discovered, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou almost slid down all the way. When they had come up earlier, in order not to be detected by Hei Mazi and Skinny Wang, they had deliberately taken a detour, sneaking up from behind.
Now, no longer needing to be cautious of others, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou almost slid down all the way again, taking the shortest route between the abandoned factory and the farm.
In less than ten minutes, they were down.
The cell phone in Jiang Ning’s pocket buzzed. She pulled it out and saw that it was a call from Zhang Lang.
As soon as she answered the phone, Zhang Lang’s voice came through, "Jiang Ning, we’re almost at the location you sent, where are you?"
"Qi Xingzhou and I have just taken care of the two lookouts on the mountain without alarming anyone else, you can drive straight through," Jiang Ning informed him.
"There’s an abandoned pig farm and a dilapidated brick factory nearby. It’s easy to find."
Zhang Lang was on speakerphone while talking, and the police vehicles were filled with operatives. Jiang Ning’s voice was loud and clear in the quiet cabin, and although the faces of those listening seemed serious, a surge of energy was uncontrollably arising within them upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, as enthusiastic citizens, had actually managed to achieve so much at their own peril!
They were determined to capture all these people in one fell swoop and not let any of them get away!
Zhang Lang shared the same sentiment as everyone else, and moreover, he believed that he already knew Jiang Ning’s identity as a ’plainclothes colleague’. Such moments of fighting hand in hand, both in the open and in the shadows, could easily excite people.
Something seemed to glow even more fiercely.
He declared resoundingly, "Comrade Jiang, you and Comrade Qi must pay attention to your safety, we’re almost there!"
She nearly had her eardrums shattered by Zhang Lang’s loud "Comrade Jiang."
And what’s with Zhang Lang anyway, it’s not their first meeting, and yet he ignored her proper name and suddenly decided to change how he addressed her.
Jiang Ning paused for a moment before replying, "Okay, we’ll wait for you."
