Girls who grow up on walls are not delicate. They are afraid of being weak and helpless when trouble arises, their tears flowing endlessly. When real trouble strikes, there’s no time for tears. Their minds are filled with one plan after another! This is none other than Su Tang.
"Buzzzzzz!" Just then, Su Tang's phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw it was Da Shu.
"So this timid girl had put her phone on silent," Gao Da thought, seeing this. He had been worried all night and felt like teaching Su Tang a lesson. But for some reason, looking at the capable and determined Su Tang now, whose eyes could devour a person, both Gao Da and Hei Dou tacitly remained silent.
"You've worked hard. I'm arranging for the police to pick you up now, and we'll meet at the Batong Hotel!" Su Tang hung up the phone and said to Hei Dou, "Do you have Xiang Wanfeng's authorization? I need to speak with the police in Shuicheng. Hmm? It's inconvenient? Fine, I'll call Director Xiang!"
Cui Ming, the forty-six-year-old Deputy Director of the Shuicheng County Public Security Bureau, never dreamed that one day he would have to discuss a case with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Since Ping An arrived in Shuicheng, Director Cui had learned about the matter immediately through an order from the provincial department. Initially, to avoid alerting the enemy, he had always followed Ping An's arrangements and remained on standby. Now, the plan had gone awry. As the local police, it was natural for them to take over the case. However, with a call from Xiang Wanfeng, the provincial department's order was also issued, and they were to cooperate instead of taking the lead! It was said that the true person in charge of this case, Gao Xiaofei, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Hechuan Municipal Public Security Bureau, was still on his way to Shuicheng.
Should he listen to this girl? In the large conference room of the Batong Hotel, Director Cui looked at Su Tang opposite him, peering at the map of Gaojia Village in Shuicheng County. He was reluctant to cooperate from the bottom of his heart.
"Director Cui, please arrange for someone to pick up my people at the airport. They've brought four suspects, who are important figures in this case. You can interrogate them immediately. I won't be listening anymore, as my people have already obtained the necessary information," Su Tang said without looking back, her childish voice carrying an unyielding tone.
"Oh, let me see." Director Cui was a shrewd person. He was disdainful in his heart but maintained a cooperative demeanor.
Soon, Da Shu and his two companions entered the large conference room, heads bowed.
"Da Shu, Lao Yuan, Lao Fang, these are my people!" Su Tang turned around and briefly introduced them to everyone present. Then, she pointed to Gao Da, Hei Dou, and the others from Hechuan and said, "Gao Da, Hei Dou, my master's people!"
All of them were working for others. Meeting in a foreign land, they felt a sense of "meeting of allies." The two groups nodded, shook hands, and offered cigarettes to each other.
"Da Shu, tell me, what's the situation!" Su Tang asked, still looking at the map without turning her head.
"Reporting to the government!" Da Shu, who had already sat down, had been staring at Director Cui in uniform since he entered. Upon hearing Su Tang, he immediately stood up.
Well, it was clear he had been inside before. Hei Dou covered his face, not knowing how he would explain things to Ping An later.

"These four people are the henchmen for that group of bad guys. Early this morning, they got a place name from their employer. We confirmed it was the old warehouse in Gaojia Village. Then, around two in the morning, the four of them drove to scout the area. Afterward, they returned and reported the road conditions, surveillance cameras, and other information to their employer. Finally, we apprehended them at the bathhouse," Da Shu said, a little nervous but still making himself clear.
"Hei Dou, was my master conscious when he was kidnapped?" Su Tang suddenly asked.
"He should have been, because the equipment was activated. He shouldn't have been hypnotized again," Hei Dou replied.
"Where are you hiding Tong Hua now?" Su Tang continued to ask.
"No, it's not time to say that yet," Gao Da said, stubbornly refusing to answer, looking at the strangers in the room.
"What's the latest from the Hechuan police?" Su Tang didn't pressure Gao Da. She knew clearly that since Gao Da didn't want to say, it must be her master's instruction.
"The latest news is that Yang Jie, who had been under surveillance, suddenly disappeared yesterday afternoon. Captain Gao's team deployed forces overnight but couldn't find Yang Jie," Hei Dou said.
"Did those four people look at the photos I gave you?" Su Tang asked Da Shu again.
"They did. It was Yang Jiao, no mistake," Da Shu replied.
"Okay, I understand. Here's my plan now." After collecting all the intelligence, Su Tang finally made a decision.

"Wait a moment!" Director Cui, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Su Tang. "Uh, Comrade, we received orders to cooperate with Gao Xiaofei, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Hechuan Municipal Public Security Bureau in Shanhe Province. How about we wait until he arrives?"
Su Tang looked at Director Cui, then suddenly opened her phone and called Gao Xiaofei.
In the last 48 hours, Gao Xiaofei's mood had been like being on a roller coaster. First, Huang Juan was found, great news! Then Yang Jie ran away! Then his goddaughter went missing! Then Ping An disappeared in his hometown!
Feeling a moment of sympathy for himself, Gao Xiaofei, who was speeding towards Chuan Shu in his car, cursed everyone he cared about from beginning to end.
"Ring ring ring!" Gao Xiaofei, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly received a call from his goddaughter.
"You little brat..." Forgetting his manners, Gao Xiaofei was about to scold her but was stunned by Su Tang's shout.
"Yes, I'm arranging for them now according to your plan. Yes, be careful on the road. I will definitely complete the mission!" On the other end of the phone, Su Tang's voice was like a bomb, making Gao Xiaofei's ears resonate. After barely hearing her clearly, he found that she had turned off her phone just as he was about to speak.
"Do you still have the phone number for the Shuicheng County Public Security Bureau?" Gao Xiaofei had left in a hurry and didn't even know the contact person's number for when he arrived in Shuicheng. He had been searching all the way, and it was the weekend, so he was either pushed to the provincial government office by the provincial department or to the political and legal committee by the provincial government office. The most absurd thing was that after all the searching, the hospitable Chuan Shu police finally gave him a mobile number.
All along the way, he had begged and pleaded, only to get office phone numbers that went unanswered or were for departments that couldn't help. When Gao Xiaofei saw that the number given this time was a mobile number, he immediately concluded it was the phone of a capable leader and called with great hope.
"Hello, who is this?" A polite voice answered after the call connected.

"Hello, I am Gao Xiaofei from the Hechuan Municipal Public Security Bureau in Shanhe Province..." Waking someone up in the middle of the night was indeed a bit inappropriate. What if that person was a leader? So Gao Xiaofei introduced himself politely and urgently.
"Oh, hello, Leader, hello. Approximately when will you be getting off the highway? We'll be responsible for your reception!" The person on the other end became very polite upon hearing it was Gao Xiaofei.
"Oh, about four hours later!" Gao Xiaofei's heart sank when he heard himself being called "Leader." However, even so, he had finally found a reliable reception party and felt like he had found his footing from afar.
"Okay, okay, we also received instructions early this morning and have already arranged a room for you!" The other party remained very polite.
"A room?" Gao Xiaofei asked, confused. "Where are you?"
"We are the Batong Hotel in Shuicheng County, the only three-star hotel in the county. Our hotel was built in ***** and currently has rooms..." The familiar advertising tone came from the other end of the phone.
"You... you really thought of everything!" Gao Xiaofei, whose blood pressure surged, was utterly helpless.
"Leader, I forgot to tell you, we've arranged a large bed for you!" The voice on the other end was full of warmth.
"I'll stay in your grandma's leg!" Gao Xiaofei's curses faded on the highway.
The Public Security Bureau is not a convenience store, and arrest operations are not child's play. Su Tang swore that even after using her most charming tactics, Director Cui refused to budge, determined to wait for Gao Xiaofei.

"Alright, you old fossil, you wait. We'll do our own thing! Da Shu!" Su Tang had been arguing with Director Cui for half an hour, but he still refused to cooperate. Thinking that her master was still in the hands of the enemy and his life was uncertain, she had only dared to gamble on her master's plan. But Director Cui was unmoved, so in desperation, Su Tang decided to act on her own!
"Boss, tell me!" Da Shu immediately stood up.
"I want you to take Lao Yuan and Lao Fang and go to the old warehouse in Gaojia Village right now to see if a group of outsiders has arrived and if my master is among them," Su Tang finally began to assign tasks. She was extremely clear-headed and spoke crisply. "If you go and find that group of people, follow them from a distance, don't reveal yourselves, and call me immediately. If you go and don't find them, wait quietly and also call me promptly."
"Uncle Gao Da, come closer. I'll ask you a question. Just answer yes or no," Su Tang asked Gao Da to come near and said softly, "If that group of people goes to the old warehouse now, will they find Tong Hua?"
"No," Gao Da replied affirmatively.
"What about the old warehouse in Gaojia Village?" Su Tang continued to ask.
"No," Gao Da replied equally affirmatively.
"I understand," Su Tang commanded loudly. "Hei Dou, you and Uncle Gao Da, along with two others, set off now for the old warehouse. I saw on the map that although the old warehouse and the old warehouse are in the same village, they are separated by a large mountain. It takes about forty minutes to walk the mountain road from the old warehouse to the old warehouse. But if you go directly from the county road, according to the distance, Da Shu will arrive before you. I'll call you then."
"How many people are left?" Su Tang asked Hei Dou.
"There are four left," Hei Dou replied.

"What kind of cars did we bring from Hechuan? Do they have sirens?" Su Tang asked.
"Excluding the ones we used, there are two cars left, and both have portable sirens!" Hei Dou answered.
"Excellent, four masters, come here and listen to my arrangements!" Su Tang waved her hand, asking the other four police officers from Hechuan to step forward.
This was the first time they were assigned tasks by a young girl, and these soldiers, who had been transferred from the armed police to act as perimeter support, were all curious.
"The four of you, each drive one car. The other two, find a way to rent a minivan from the county, a Jinbei will do," Su Tang said with some excitement. "The two cars with portable sirens will be at the front and back, with the two Jinbei vans in the middle. Once you're ready, wait outside the county public security bureau. When I call you, immediately sound the sirens, form a line, and head towards the old warehouse in Gaojia Village. Remember, it's the old warehouse where they cook!"
After arranging everyone, Su Tang looked at Director Cui again and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "You'd better pray that none of us who came today have any accidents, otherwise, this is your territory!"
Well, she had been threatened! Director Cui didn't argue with the girl. After putting down his phone, he even patted Su Tang on the shoulder and said, "You have courage and insight. That's good! I forgot to tell you, the Gaojia Village police station is having an event this morning. All police cars will be in the village, driving with sirens on – little girl, this is all I can help you with."
So, Director Cui was not a heartless person. It was understandable. A group of mysterious people had come to his territory, asking for cooperation and assigning tasks. Anyone would find it unbearable.
"Director Cui, thank you!" Su Tang's eyes reddened, and she bowed deeply.
"I can tell the person kidnapped by the bad guys is your relative?" Director Cui helped Su Tang up and said, "Never mind, you can direct them from my car. My car has a radio. Come here, distribute walkie-talkies to them. Also, have three nimble detectives from the criminal investigation team come along with guns to accompany the young girl up the mountain for a scenic tour."

The director of the county had indeed given Su Tang some convenience in the end.
With the local support, Su Tang's confidence grew.
"Set off!" Su Tang shouted, full of spirit.
If Ping An saw his disciple being so majestic, he would probably be overjoyed, but he couldn't, especially not while being naked.
"Brother, can you get me some clothes? Even a pair of underwear would do. In this state, I'm more than just tied up. Am I supposed to run around naked in the street?" On the country road from Shuicheng County to Gaojia Village, inside a廢棄 cement factory, five identical off-road vehicles were parked neatly. Not far away, under a shed, a girl wearing a mask, a woman wrapped in a military coat, and an old man leaning on a cane were gathered around a bonfire.
"Boss, the naked guy has woken up and wants clothes now!" A one-eyed big man, carrying a hunting rifle, ran excitedly from the convoy to report.
"Oh, find him some clothes!" the girl wearing a mask said. "Go and check on the people going up the mountain. Why are they taking so long to explore the path?"
It turned out that this group was the hired thugs brought by Yang Jiao overnight. A few hours earlier, they had raided the Batong Hotel and silently taken away Ping An and Qiao Yiyan. After obtaining route and road condition information from the Gao Jia four-person group, they had traveled along roads with no surveillance cameras. They finally reached the outskirts of Gaojia Village. The suspicious Yang Jiao had everyone temporarily station themselves in the abandoned cement factory and arranged for two capable young men to pose as travelers and hike into the village to check for ambushes.
Two hours passed, and it was already dawn, but the people sent out had not returned. Yang Jiao couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Don't worry, the mountain road, although only about ten kilometers, still takes at least an hour to walk down," the old butler said unhurriedly.

"There's news that Gao Xiaofei is already on his way. He'll probably be off the highway in two hours at most. I'm afraid the situation will change when he arrives." As she said this, Yang Jiao picked up a stick she was using to stoke the fire and hit Qiao Yiyan beside her.
"Tell me, does anyone else know about this place, Gaojia Village?" Yang Jiao asked fiercely.
"You've seen the experiments for the past few days. Who do you think I could have told?"
"Where are the old man and the young man who were with Ping An? Do they know?" Yang Jiao continued to ask.
"I haven't seen them since we left home," Qiao Yiyan said weakly.
"They probably don't know that much," the old butler analyzed. "Ping An is smart, but also arrogant. Moreover, he knows the principle of 'loose but not impenetrable.' Tong Hua and Gao Jia Village are his only bargaining chips. He wouldn't tell a second person easily."
"Bring Ping An to me," Yang Jiao said, still not convinced after hearing the old butler's words.
Soon, Ping An, wearing a slip dress, was escorted in by several big men.
"Knowing you're Yang Jiao, and you're wearing a mask, this is pointless," Ping An said, completely lacking the awareness of being captured, still speaking without restraint.
"Why are you always bothering me?" When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred. If it weren't for this meddler, how could Liao Yuan, who was already in prison, have contacted Tong Hua?

"I'm taking a beautiful woman on a trip. Where does that concern you?" Ping An said, shaking his head.
"Lover? Hahahaha! A trip? Hahahaha!" Yang Jiao pointed the stick at Qiao Yiyan and said with a laugh, "You think of her as your lover, but she thinks of you as a lab rat for experiments!"
Qiao Yiyan, curled up on the ground, seemed to have been beaten during her previous resistance, trembling all over.
"What did you do to her?" Yang Jiao's pointing made Ping An realize that the person on the ground was Qiao Yiyan.
"Don't worry, she won't die!" Yang Jiao said. "You're so foolish. Do you really think she's Director Qiao Yidan's biological daughter? Director Qiao Yidan is almost forty, how could she have a sister almost twenty years younger? Let me tell you, she was adopted by the Qiao family, just like me! And she's none other than Mr. Ke, whom you've been thinking about!"
As soon as the words "Mr. Ke" were spoken, Ping An's expression changed instantly.
"Well, don't you have many questions to ask her? You are like this today because of her! Did you think a beauty was accompanying you to bed? Was it enjoyable? Haha, you didn't know, did you? She used you as a lab rat every night, hypnotizing you again and again, making you act like a dog, and you could only bark 'woof woof woof.' Making you act like a cat, and you could only meow. Humiliating, wasn't it? A renowned great detective, a famous reporter, in her eyes, you were just a plaything!"
"Enough!" Qiao Yiyan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly, enduring the pain.
Ping An remained silent, just looking at Qiao Yiyan coldly.
"Heartbroken, aren't you?" Yang Jiao said. "How about this, we make a deal – in fact, you have no cards left to play. I, on account of, well, Su Tang, will let you off the hook. But you have to voluntarily hand over Tong Hua to me, and then I'll give you this woman. Of course, you don't need to worry about the case anymore – Yang Jie killed Tong Hua to inherit my mother's property, and in the struggle with the bodyguards who came to protect Tong Hua from the Liao family, he was stabbed to death by the bodyguards in self-defense!"

"What a great plan! You don't look fifteen or sixteen at all. Even adults can't outsmart you," Ping An said, seemingly ready to surrender, glancing at Yang Jiao. "I won't waste your time either. Aren't you coming to Gaojia Village? Why the unnecessary effort?"
"Are you afraid of me? You're Ping An! So many people have fallen before you. I tremble just thinking about it," Yang Jiao said. "How about we both benefit? What do you say? Do you accept?"
"Fine, I'm also cornered. I don't need to confront the third-generation head of the Liao family – won't our two families be cooperating later? Why would I be against money?" Ping An seemed to have figured it out. Struggling alone was worse than surrendering.
"A smart person, truly a smart person!" Yang Jiao said with a laugh. "I dare not claim to be the third-generation head. I'm not even an adult yet. At most, I'm my maternal grandfather's lackey, the old butler's revolutionary comrade! Hahahaha!"
"If you're going to do it, do it quickly. Gao Xiaofei is probably coming. Shuicheng isn't big, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome if they start a carpet search," Ping An said immediately, raising the issue after setting his new terms.
"Don't worry, Teacher Ping An, look, it's not that I don't believe you. Lin Chong had to have a pledge of allegiance to join Liangshan. How about you kill this Mr. Ke, who killed your father, right now? That way, I'll feel more at ease," Yang Jiao said cunningly.
"No, I don't want to get my hands dirty. Don't think I don't know you want to use this as leverage to threaten me later, right? I'm not stupid. How about you kill me now?" Ping An said boldly.
"Don't you hate her?" Yang Jiao continued to tempt him.
"I do. I thought I had a good time these past few days, but it turns out she was the one having fun with me. Damn it! I have a reputation to uphold," Ping An said, glaring at Qiao Yiyan fiercely. "But she's still useful to me. You know, the feud between me and Mr. Ke has nothing to do with you. I really don't want to get involved in your family's affairs. It's all Liao Yuan's fault for forcing me to do this with Mr. Ke's information."
"I see," the old butler, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. "Mr. Ping An, as the successor of the An family, is one of our Wind Power Group's best partners. Our Jiaozi, in fact, was also acting in self-defense by resorting to this desperate measure. We apologize for any offense caused."kuAiδugg

Yang Jiao was not stupid. She immediately understood the old butler's meaning – no matter who was in charge of the Wind Power Company, they would still need investment from the An family in the future. This person in front of her was someone they couldn't afford to offend unless absolutely necessary.
"Since we've cleared up the misunderstanding, consider it an acquaintance made through conflict. You don't want to kill this woman, right? After I'm done with my business, I'll personally deliver her to you so you can interrogate her at your leisure," Yang Jiao said after much deliberation, giving Ping An a way out.
"Good! You have spirit. The Wind Power Company is too conservative, which has caused the An family shareholders to hesitate. If you were the leader, the investment would have been in place long ago," Ping An said, seizing the opportunity, and even flattered Yang Jiao. "It's a pity you're not eighteen yet and not an adult. We'll have to wait a few more years to see your full potential."
Ping An's flattery was both crude and loud. Yang Jiao felt comfortable hearing it and, in her pride, didn't notice the look of apprehension on the old butler's face. This look was caught by Ping An.
