151: Chapter 151: Citywide Siege!
Su Wanqiao was startled upon hearing the words and asked anxiously on the phone, “What happened??”
On the phone, the female secretary Ding Wei said in a complex tone, “President Su… you’d better see for yourself… It’s about the Bai Family…”
This matter was too significant, the female secretary simply couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Su Wanqiao kept the phone call on speaker and directly exited to the phone’s main interface, where she opened the Jiangnan News Client APP.
As she opened the news app, a trending news story had already surged to the homepage of the local Jiangnan news feed!
[Police Situation Bulletin]
[At approximately 10:50 AM on April 15, 2024, the patrolling agency of Jiangnan’s Beicheng District received a report from the public, stating that a man was stabbed to death on Beicheng Road.
Our agency’s investigators arrived at the crime scene promptly to handle the situation.]
[Upon investigation, the victim’s identity has been confirmed as the President of the Jiangnan Merchants’ Association and Chairman of the Bai Corporation, Bai Wangchuan.
He was also a business fugitive currently on the run!]
[Our bureau has investigated the cause of Bai Wangchuan’s death and confirmed that it was due to an accident.
Half an hour before his death, while walking on Beicheng Road, the sudden ejection of a brake pad from a passing truck unintentionally penetrated Bai Wangchuan’s neck, causing him to bleed out from his neck vessels and die due to excessive blood loss!
After the incident, the victim was taken to the hospital, where attempts at resuscitation were ineffective.]
[Currently, the driver involved in the accidental car crash has been detained and is undergoing interrogation.
The possibility of homicide has been ruled out.
Further investigation of the case is underway.
We urge the public not to believe in rumors or spread them.
Please rely on official announcements for information!]
[Jiangnan Patrol Tower, Headquarters.]
Upon seeing this bulletin, Su Wanqiao stared in stunned shock??
She had just received news that the warehouse robbery last night… was carried out by Bai Wangchuan.
Su Wanqiao had also just ordered her subordinates to investigate Bai Wangchuan’s whereabouts.
And now she was receiving news that Bai Wangchuan was dead??
And…the cause of death was so bizarre and peculiar??
Walking along the road, he died when a truck’s brake pad shot through his throat??
The cause of death was too strange, right?
Who would believe such a thing if it were told!
Su Wanqiao was completely bewildered.
Bai Wangchuan had just died that morning?
And that morning, Lin Shuang just happened to be out of the office??
Their timelines coincided exactly??
A thought that Su Wanqiao could hardly believe flashed through her mind.
She stared at Lin Shuang, the driver in the front row, and asked solemnly, “Bai Wangchuan’s death… it doesn’t have anything to do with you, does it??”
Even Su Wanqiao herself didn’t know why, but she subconsciously associated it with Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang, who was driving at that moment, said with an innocent face, “Don’t talk nonsense.
I am a law-abiding citizen, and I have no grudges against him, nor do I have any reason to deal with him, do I?”
Su Wanqiao thought for a long while and then shook her head helplessly.
Indeed, what does this have to do with Lin Shuang?
Why would he want to kill Bai Wangchuan?
What would be his motive for murder?
There’s no motive for murder.
Su Wanqiao dismissed this speculation from her mind.
Several minutes later, the car came to a stop.
Su Wanqiao pushed open the door to get out, only to discover that the car had stopped in front of a street-side restaurant?
“Didn’t I ask you to take me to the herbal warehouse?
What are we doing here?” Su Wanqiao asked, puzzled.
“We’re here to eat.” Lin Shuang said, ignoring Su Wanqiao’s protest, grabbed her hand, and led her into the small restaurant.
“Boss, let’s order… give us a serving of sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour spareribs… braised pork trotters…” Lin Shuang pulled her into the small restaurant and ordered a bunch of Jiangnan specialty dishes that Su Wanqiao loved to eat.
Su Wanqiao looked at him with surprise.
All the dishes Lin Shuang ordered were her favorites.
How did he know her tastes??
With some resignation, since she was already there, Su Wanqiao could only have a meal before leaving.
At this point, her stomach embarrassingly began to growl.
The small restaurant was quick to cook their dishes, and the landlady soon brought out plate after plate of hearty dishes.
Lin Shuang served her a big bowl of rice, “Here, eat up.”
“I don’t eat rice, I’m on a diet,” Su Wanqiao pushed away the bowl of rice.
Lin Shuang glanced at her curvy and stunning figure, the sexy OL-style blouse, and the black pleated mini-skirt below, paired with immensely seductive sheer stockings over those long legs.
The proportions were just perfect.
Her perfect leg shape was mouthwatering, and the silver high heels beneath her sheer stocking feet accentuated her flawlessly graceful figure.
“You’re already so thin and still dieting?
How will you have children if you’re too thin?
Having children requires a lot of nutrition,” Lin Shuang said, pushing the bowl of rice back to her.
“I never said I wanted to have children,” Su Wanqiao shot back at him.
“Well, you’ll have to get married and have children eventually, right?
Better eat more while you can,” Lin Shuang said, patiently advising her.
Meanwhile, at the Jiangnan City building.
Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan was fleeing back to the city building in a hurry.
Upon his return to the city building, Gao Yuan was filled with raging fury!
Mobilize all the special forces in Jiangnan City!
Citywide manhunt for Lin Shuang!!” Gao Yuan slammed the table and commanded furiously!
