"Run away?!" Tang Baiqing stared, "Impossible! He is a fool, how could he run away?"

"He was beaten by other suspects in the detention center. The police officers took him out for medical treatment, but he ran away and injured three police officers." Old Yang gritted his teeth and roared, "Do you know how much trouble this will cause? This person didn't have a big deal, only six or seven years in prison, but when he ran away in the police department hospital, the higher-ups paid attention to him!"

Tang Baiqing's head was buzzing. He didn't understand what had happened to him. There had been no good news in recent times.

"Let me tell you, his case hasn't been judged yet. If he commits another crime while on the run, or if the matter is fermented by the media and attracts close attention from the upper echelons, then it is very likely... Do you understand what I mean?" Lao Yang was obviously furious, because he was the investigator of this case. If anything happened, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

"You must immediately organize police forces to find him and arrest him. I will be back later."

"What's in your mind? It's already so late, why are you waiting a while before coming back?" Old Yang shouted.

"I'm not in the city," Tang Baiqing gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm doing business in Sinalo."

"Come back quickly, quickly!" Lao Yang threw down the phone.

"Damn it!" Tang Baiqing was so angry that he kicked away the tables and chairs in the room and walked out with a gloomy face.

Xu Er heard the noise and came over, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"

"The prisoner I was waiting for escaped from the Police Department Hospital. I have to go back immediately." Tang Baiqing paused and said, "Call your eldest brother and ask him to find some people on the street to help find out, but don't tell me the details."

"Okay!" Xu Er nodded: "Then you go back first, I'll watch over here."

Tang Baiqing was in no mood to chat with Xu Er anymore, so he just left quickly.

At night, around 9:40, on Tufang Street in Zhanan District, a sturdy young man was walking quickly in an alley.

On the streets, neon lights are bright, and red lanterns, couplets, and blessing characters that symbolize auspiciousness can be seen everywhere. It looks very warm and full of the flavor of the New Year.

Perhaps because all the Chinese here have left their homeland, they attach great importance to traditional festivals. Many residents who run shops will put some homemade red date steamed buns on the shelves in front of their homes.

The young man came to the entrance of the alley, stood in the shadow, turned his head and looked at the familiar street, and saw many familiar faces, leading their children to play in front of the door. When the passers-by talked to each other, they would say auspicious words.

The dim light shone on the young man's face. It was Daxiong who had just run out of the Police Station Hospital.

Daxiong stood in the alley and looked up at his own floor. He saw the word "Fu" pasted on the window and red lanterns hanging.

Hesitating and wandering, Big Bear waited for a long time and was thinking about whether to go home.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or because the New Year was coming and every household went to bed very late, but when Daxiong was struggling, he saw the door of his apartment opened and six or seven people walked out. Among them were his parents, his eldest and second brothers, and their partners.

After the family walked out of the apartment, Father Wu, who was obviously a little drunk, said, "Let's go, I'll take these two girls to a restaurant and have something delicious."

"Dad, no need. It's quite late. Let's just take them back."

"It's almost Chinese New Year. This is your first time at home. Can you please stay for a meal?" Father Wu said without question, "Let's go to the best Cantonese restaurant on Front Street. Let's have a meal. I'll treat you!"

Father Wu was busy making arrangements, and the younger generations did not dare to disobey him and just followed him towards the front street.

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Wen, after the Chinese New Year, you must bring your parents to our house. We'll have a drink with your parents and then we'll finalize the marriage. The gift is not a problem. You don't have to worry about anything when you marry into the Wu family. Just give me a baby as soon as possible, haha!"

"This old guy is like this after drinking. You have to bear with me." Mother Wu also said happily.

Big Bear looked at them, stood in the alley for a long time, and then turned around and left decisively.

On the way, Daxiong passed by a store and saw a lot of New Year's goods placed in front of the store. After hesitating for a long time, he asked the old man sitting at the door: "Uncle, I... I don't have any money... Can you... can you give me two steamed buns to eat?"

The old man was sitting at the door of his shop. He was stunned for a moment when he heard what Daxiong said. He stood up and picked up a few pieces of sticky rice dumplings from the shelf, put them in a bag and handed them to Daxiong: "... No home?"

"Ah!" Big Bear nodded.

"Here you go," the old man handed over the bag, "Happy New Year!"

When Big Bear heard this, he was silent for two or three seconds, then he grinned and stammered, "Happy New... New Year!"

Yu family.

Yu Mingyuan sat outside on the balcony in a red T-shirt and whispered to Su Tianyu, "I've been talking to other code gangs these days. Although we haven't come to any substantive results, at least... some people are not opposed to contacting us, which is a good thing."

"Yes, that's a good thing." Su Tianyu nodded.

"Hey, have you been back to the Chinese area?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

Su Tianyu blinked: "I definitely didn't."

"Want to go back?"

"Why do you ask?" Su Tianyu was a little surprised.

"Our company is not shipping goods during this period, and I happened to have a talk with other suppliers. The goods we get now are all from middlemen. If everything goes well, I can send you on an errand?" Yu Mingyuan smiled.

"Okay!" Su Tianyu nodded: "Let's solve the problem of bulk cargo first, and then we can solve the problem of incoming goods."

"Yeah!" Yu Mingyuan nodded: "Have you eaten dinner tonight?"

“I’m not full.”

"Haha, that's great, let's go and get some food and drinks!"

"Okay!" Su Tianyu stood up.

The two got up and left the terrace, just in time to see An Qiqi sitting under the gazebo making a phone call.

"Oh, I understand. I'm doing fine at my uncle's house. Happy New Year to you and dad!" An Qiqi said with a smile.

Su Tianyu passed by An Qiqi and teased her deliberately: "Just confess to your uncle and aunt, I'm ready to meet their parents..."

"Get out of here!" An Qiqi yelled.

"Stop teasing my sister." Yu Mingyuan scolded with his hands behind his back.

"If I don't tease your sister, then what's the point of me giving you a job?" Su Tianyu replied shamelessly.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's useless to tease me. My sister has high standards." Yu Mingyuan replied with a smile.

Beside her, An Qiqi tried her best to explain: "Oh, I'm not in love! Yes, mortals are too mediocre, mom, I'm going back to the fairyland."

Yu Mingyuan and Su Tianyu walked into the room and were just about to go to the kitchen when the latter's phone rang.

"Hello?"

“… Do you know Wu Shixiong?” Wang Daolin’s voice rang out.

"Ah! What's wrong?"

"He escaped from prison." Wang Daolin said with a slightly exaggerated wording.

"What? He escaped from prison?! This is impossible, how...how did he do it?" Su Tianyu was completely confused.

Big Bear escapes from prison.

Lao Leizi was arrested.

The old Mexicans from the Warhammer organization also arrived in Dragon City earlier.

Yu Mingyuan is reorganizing, the Code Gang is eager to get out of the predicament, and Tang Baiqing also returned to Longcheng late at night. A storm that affects many people has quietly landed.
