"Hmm!" Xu Qigang nodded, calculating who Shen Yu would seek revenge on first after escaping. The first person he thought of was Meng Ping, since Shen Yuâs imprisonment was largely due to Meng Pingâs numerous schemesâspending money to get people inside and doing things in all kinds of ways.
Then it would be him, followed by the prison guard.
At this thought, Xu Qigang frowned deeply. He wasnât worried about himself, only concerned about Xiao Ning.
"Shangguan Tao, Iâm leaving things to you here, I need to go home. Chen Yingjie should be back soon, when he returns, have him meet me at the General Union Courtyard."
"Why are you going home?" As Shangguan Tao spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, clearly realizing the person Shen Yu hated the most. With Meng Ping in the detention room, thereâs no way to get to him.
He would first target the captainâs weakness.
"Youâd better go quicklyânow, immediately, at once." Shangguan Tao hurriedly urged.
Xu Qigang was even more aware of the situationâs urgency than him. There was no need for haste; heâd already floored the gas pedal on the car coming at breakneck speed.

On the city-bound highway, an inconspicuous little truck was speeding along. Li Xia had someone steal it; without transportation, carrying out murder was impossible.
"Why donât you let me kill him?" Li Xia protested, "Leaving Chen Yingjie alive is a menace. Iâve tried to kill him several times but never succeeded."
Shen Yu was devouring food, urgently needing to replenish his energy.
"Chen Yingjie is our second target; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss this, itâll be much harder next time."
Shen Yu shot her a disdainful look, "Who do you think you are? Scarface? If it were him, indeed it would be possible. But youâre not capable; compared to scarface, youâre far inferior. Iâm truly worried for the future of you Southern Border hired soldiers."
"You... youâll regret it." Li Xia viciously drew her gun against Shen Yuâs head, "Scarface was ruthless, so what? Heâs dead now, isnât he? How powerful are you now? Yet youâre still living a life worse than death."
"Hmph!" Shen Yu sneered coldly, sending chills down the spine. Even Li Xia, with her strong mentality, couldnât help but tremble slightly.
"Youâd better move your filthy hand away."
Li Xia regretted in her heart; the current Shen Yu was completely different from the one sheâd encountered in Southern Border. Maybe she couldnât put up with a man like him; perhaps rescuing him was a mistake.
But given the urgency, she couldnât afford to dwell on such things.
Yoda, driving ahead, glanced nervously back and asked, "Where should we go next?"
"Let me kill Meng Ping first." Shen Yu said grimly.
"No way!" Li Xia objected, "Our biggest enemy is the Living Yama; now that youâve escaped, the incident will soon come out, leaving us little time. We can only choose one."
Having said this, Li Xia instructed Yoda, "Head to the General Union Courtyard. The Living Yamaâs wife is there; capture her and make him do whatever we want."
Shen Yuâs eyes gleamed with sinister cunning, weighing whether to deal with Meng Ping or the Living Yama. Both made him gnash his teeth with hatred; which oneâs death would bring him greater satisfaction?
Meng Ping? Living Yama?
Finally, he grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth and let out a hideous laugh, "Then head to the General Union Courtyard; the Living Yamaâs wife is indeed the Union Flower of our Northern District."
