Realizing this, their brows furrowed even more deeply, while Ram, standing to the side, sighed softly and then said to Xia Yan:
"Qianhua and I are well aware of what you're saying, but you also need to consider that Master Long will never leave criminal clues in the open. We also need to take a risk."
A hint of wariness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but in order to deal with Master Long 567, he still told Qianhua and Ram to be careful. Moreover, because Master Long's men found out quickly, Xia Yan and Qianhua had been hiding in the shadows.
There was another reason why they hid in the shadows: they wanted to find clues about Master Long's crimes. However, after trying every possible method, they still came up empty-handed, because Master Long's men had always been very interested in this aspect.
They were well aware that if these clues were brought to light, they would certainly face imprisonment, especially since Boss Long had previously collaborated with people from the organization.
Realizing this, Xia Yan and Qian Hua frowned deeply. Meanwhile, while Long Ye's men were searching them, Xia Yan and Qian Hua were looking for clues about Long Ye's crimes, but after a long time, they found no useful evidence.
Realizing this, a shadow crossed their eyes. Meanwhile, Lord Long was not about to give up, especially after his men failed to find Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing. His anger was slowly deepening.
Long Ye knew perfectly well that if it weren't for Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, the situation might not have been so bad. Realizing this, he frowned deeply, especially when he saw his useless subordinates. The gloom in his eyes deepened. He kicked one of his subordinates and said fiercely to him:
"What use are you all to me? If I don't tell you to look for someone, you can't find them. Besides, it's just two people, right? How many times have they escaped from your hands? And this time, so many people have escaped again. How did you even find them?"
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of Lord Long's men. They had indeed searched diligently, wishing they could turn the place upside down, but they still couldn't find any clues about Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing.
Realizing this, they lowered their heads even further. Seeing this, Master Long naturally understood their thoughts, and his anger deepened. Just as his men were at a loss for what to do, Master Long's trusted aide walked in and said very respectfully to him:
“We investigated and found no trace of Xia Yan around Qian Hua and Ram. However, we haven’t seen Qian Hua for the past two days, which is very likely related to Xia Yan’s disappearance. We could go and meet Ram.”
Upon hearing these words, a shadow crossed Master Long's eyes, and he pondered for a moment.
Chapter 327 Panic
Then he waved to his confidant, and then, with some arrangements made by his confidant, Lord Long even met with Ram directly.
In fact, Ram had been on guard against himself these past few days, looking for any suspicious people around him, but he hadn't found anything. At first, he thought that Master Long hadn't suspected him.
However, Ram was also very clear in his heart that the most important thing for Chika and Xia Yan to do while hiding in the shadows was to find out about Long Ye's crimes. If they could find out about these crimes before Long Ye did, that would be great.
So they wouldn't have to hide anymore. Realizing this, Ram wanted to buy Xia Yan and Qian Hua more time. But what Ram didn't expect was that when he entered the coffee shop that day, someone suddenly sat down in front of him. After seeing this, Ram frowned slightly.
But when he looked up and saw who it was, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, because this man was none other than Master Long.
Ram was also very surprised. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and leave, but he did not expect that Lord Long had already made preparations. Then two more men in black stood behind Ram and forcibly pressed him back into his seat.
Upon seeing this scene, a shadow crossed Ram's eyes, but at the same time, he knew very well that he couldn't escape this time, so he immediately put on a crying gesture.
He glanced at Master Long and said to him, "Master Long, don't scare me. What are you trying to do? You're the one who released me in the first place. What are you going to do now? Besides, I haven't done anything to offend you."
Upon hearing these words, a strange glint flashed in Lord Long's eyes. He then glanced meaningfully at Ram in front of him, but Ram's expression remained unchanged, seemingly filled with panic.
Upon seeing this scene, Master Long frowned slightly, but his expression remained very serious. He took a sip of the coffee beside him and then said to Ram in front of him:
"Don't try to play coy with me or pretend you don't know. I've already investigated what's been going on around you lately. Even though I was the one who released you, remember this: if I find out you're still in contact with Xia Yan and the others, you won't escape unscathed."
0...Requesting flowers...
Ram's fear deepened, but at the same time, after hearing what Master Long said, he knew very well that Master Long probably hadn't yet found out that he had been in contact with Xia Yan.
..... ....... 0
Realizing this, he gradually felt relieved. He let out a soft breath and then said to Lord Long in front of him:
"No, no, you know I've been behaving myself ever since you released me. How could I have any contact with Xia Yan? Wasn't he imprisoned by you? Besides, I haven't been to your place."
After saying these words, Ram pretended to look at Lord Long with a puzzled expression. Lord Long had been very skeptical at first, but now that he saw this scene, he felt that he might have guessed wrong.
However, just in case, Lord Long still glanced at Ramvan in front of him.
Chapter 328 Intimidation
Then he said to him, "You better not try to play tricks on me. Let me tell you, whether you're in contact with Xia Yan or the group that escaped, if I find out, you'll be in big trouble. Now that you have a chance, you'd better explain yourself clearly."
After hearing these words, Ram felt more and more at ease, but the expression on his face became increasingly unclean. Realizing this, a strange look flashed in Long Ye's eyes, but he asked Ram several questions without getting accurate answers.
Moreover, based on Long Ye's observation, Ram was extremely panicked and had no idea that Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing had escaped. After realizing this, he sighed softly.
Besides, he was the one who personally released Qianhua and Ram, so this time, after asking these questions, he didn't make things difficult for Ram and simply released him.
As Long Ye's figure slowly disappeared from his sight, Ram breathed a sigh of relief. He was very fortunate that he was good at acting today and did not reveal any flaws.
However, at the same time, after spending some time with Lord Long, Ram had a vague suspicion in his heart, because he had just discovered that Lord Long was very impatient when asking him these questions.
You know, he had met Master Long before. Back then, Master Long was always very serious no matter what happened. He wondered what had happened to make Master Long so agitated.
Not only that, but it seems that Master Long has been searching for those who escaped before. Upon realizing this, a strange glint flashed in Ram's eyes, but he did not hide this information. Instead, he hurriedly informed Xia Yan and Qian Hua of the news and his own thoughts.
When Xia Yan and Qian Hua learned that Lord Long had personally visited Ram, a hint of worry flashed in their eyes. However, the fact that Ram could still communicate with them proved that Ram was safe and sound. Realizing this, they looked at each other and frowned slightly. At the same time, Qian Hua was very puzzled.
Although they created chaos at the time, Natsuhiko and Shirogane Miyuki did not escape in time, and only Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko knew the full story in their hearts.
Realizing that those people had escaped with them, Qianhua glanced at Xia Yan and then asked him:
"Because of your help, that group of people were able to escape. So, the reason why Master Long is so anxious to find them must be because they are hiding a huge secret. Did you discover that back then?"
Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, but he hadn't really noticed anything wrong with those people at the time. After realizing this, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Master Long was also very clear in his heart that if he wanted to resolve his doubts or find some evidence of his crimes, he had to find that group of people, who were the most crucial focus.
Realizing this, his expression turned serious, and he glanced at Chika.
Chapter 329 Looking for someone
Chika, standing to the side, naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts. She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Xia Yan:
"Since we've learned from Ram that Lord Long is looking for those who escaped before, it proves that among those who escaped before, there must be someone who knows about the bad things Lord Long did, and they might even have left evidence on their own. If we can find them before then, those who escaped before will be of great help to us."
A knowing glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. In fact, that was exactly what he was thinking. It was already extremely difficult for him and Qianhua to find evidence of Master Long's past crimes here.
If they could find those who had escaped before, it would be much easier for them to find the evidence against Master Long. Realizing this, a hint of agreement flashed in his eyes. So, after discussing other matters, the two of them did not waste any more time and hurriedly went to find the people who had escaped before.
Qianhua still had many friends, so after some effort, she quickly found them. When they saw these people, Xia Yan frowned slightly, because these people were actually quite similar to ordinary people.
However, they also seemed to be evading Lord Long's pursuit. Everyone was hiding very well. When these people saw Qianhua and Xia Yan, a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes. But immediately someone recognized Xia Yan as the one who had led them to escape.
Realizing this, their wariness gradually lessened, and they treated Xia Yan more politely. However, they remained cautious. Xia Yan, noticing this, quickly said to them:
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions in coming here this time. Besides, you probably know my identity. We escaped from Master Long together. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You should understand what I mean."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of everyone present, so their attitude towards Xia Yan and Qian Hua became more lenient, especially since they did not hide their identities.
However, since they had escaped safely, they had already separated to avoid attracting Lord Long's attention. They knew very well that Lord Long would not let them go so easily. Realizing this, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes, and their brows furrowed tightly.
However, since Xia Yan had already decided to find them this time, he did not intend to give up halfway. At the beginning, Xia Yan and his group only found a few people.
However, because Xia Yan's attitude was quite good, these people gradually lowered their guard. Although they had separated, they still had each other's contact information, so Xia Yan later found quite a few people.
After gathering these people together, Xia Yan's expression became even more serious, and a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes. But before they could even ask anything, Xia Yan said to them:
"To be honest, I have something important to tell you all. I want to know if Master Long has done a lot of shady things before this, and I want evidence."
Chapter 330 Persuasion
After saying these words, Xia Yan's expression became even more serious. He looked at the people in front of him with great seriousness. However, to Xia Yan and Qian Hua's surprise, the people in front of them were all shocked as soon as he finished speaking.
Because they had all worked under Master Long before, they knew his methods and the consequences of betraying him. Realizing this, a flicker of panic crossed their eyes. Some of them looked at Xia Yan and said:
“Xia Yan, we all know you are a righteous person. Of course, I didn’t get involved in the dark things that Master Long did in the past. Although it wasn’t our intention, we did play a role in it. We are grateful to you for helping us escape last time. But this matter is too risky for us. I hope you can understand us.”
After saying these words, a pleading look flashed in their eyes, and the others beside them agreed wholeheartedly, because they knew very well that if Lord Long found out about this, the consequences for them would be unimaginable.
Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply upon seeing this scene, while a hint of worry flashed in Qian Hua's eyes. In Qian Hua's heart, she knew very well that they had been searching for a long time without finding any evidence of Master Long's crimes.
So now they can only look for clues among these people. Realizing this, Qianhua's brows furrowed even more deeply. Xia Yan, who was standing beside her, understood their thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to them:
“I understand what you’ve said, but you also need to understand, can you hide forever? Besides, I hope you can understand that although you were involved in those things in the past, I assure you that you will not be involved in this matter at all.”
After saying this, Xia Yan softened his expression, smiled at them, and then said to them again:
"There's something else I need to tell you. You can't escape Master Long just by hiding and not telling me. Master Long is currently tracking your whereabouts. Why do you think I came looking for you? It's because I want to take him down before he finds you and get evidence of his crimes. That way, we'll all be safe. I hope you understand that."
After saying these words, Xia Yan glanced at the expressions of everyone present, and his face became even more serious. Not only that, in order to obtain this clue, Xia Yan tried to persuade these people with both emotion and reason.
Moreover, Xia Yan was very clear in his mind that Master Long's sphere of influence was extremely large, and finding these people was only a matter of time. In addition, although these people were scattered in different places, they would eventually be caught by Master Long (Li Zhao).
They now have only one option: to retrieve the evidence of Master Long's past crimes and hand it over to him. They must nip Master Long in the bud.
So they were the only ones who were safe in the end. Realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. At the same time, the others present, hearing that Master Long was still searching for their whereabouts, exchanged glances, a hint of panic in their eyes.
Chapter 331 Telling
Moreover, after Xia Yan's explanation, they knew the seriousness of the situation. Realizing this, they looked at each other, their eyes still showing hesitation, but their hearts were very firm.
Because they knew perfectly well that Master Long was an absolutely ruthless person, and if they were taken back without any reason, he would definitely not spare them. Realizing this, the worry in their eyes deepened, and their brows furrowed tightly.
Xia Yan, standing to the side, naturally understood their thoughts. He sighed softly and then described the recent events to them again. Realizing this, the people present exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly, but they still continued speaking to Xia Yan Qianhua beside him:
“You were the one who rescued us last time, so we won’t hide these things from you anymore. We know how serious this matter is, so we hope to get Master Long in as soon as possible before he finds us, so that our safety can be guaranteed.”
After saying these words, the group of people (aeej) looked at Xia Yan with expectant expressions. Xia Yan naturally understood what they meant and nodded firmly at them. Seeing this, everyone did not hesitate any longer.
They pondered for a moment, then immediately addressed Xia Yanqianhua:
"Actually, I've investigated some things during this period. You should all know very well that Master Long is not a good person. Moreover, he has done a lot of robberies. However, he doesn't rely on that thing to make money. He makes money by counterfeiting."
Upon hearing these words, Xia Yan glanced at Qian Hua with a hint of shock in his eyes. They had worked with Master Long before and had never heard of this matter. The others seemed to have expected this reaction, so they were not too puzzled.
But then they told Xia Yan and Qian Hua everything that Master Long had done in the past. Not only that, they also provided them with information about the locations where Master Long usually made fakes.
Even after saying these words, the people's eyes remained filled with worry, because they were genuinely afraid that Master Long would find them during this time. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, naturally noticed their thoughts and offered them some words of comfort:
"Don't worry, now that you've told us the whole story, we certainly won't let you down. We'll definitely inform the relevant authorities before they can easily find you, so your safety will be guaranteed. But you should be careful these next few days."
Upon hearing these words, everyone present naturally understood what Xia Yan meant, so they quickly nodded to him, and then they said a few more words.
Although Xia Yan and Qian Hua were now understanding the situation, they still needed to search for information and evidence, so they didn't linger there and hurriedly went to the location that the people had just provided for them.
Xia Yan and Qian Hua knew each other very well. Master Long was a very decisive person, and he would never leave any clues easily.
Chapter 332 Report
After realizing this, they learned the news but did not disclose it to the outside world.
The two of them secretly arrived at the location provided by those people. Upon arriving, they indeed discovered many counterfeit items. Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, but they were also very troubled, wondering how to get in and obtain the evidence.
Just as they were thinking this, a group of familiar people suddenly appeared in front of them. This was the same group who had just informed them of the evidence. Realizing this, a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes, but they didn't expect that this group of people would come directly in front of them and say:
"We've made up our minds. Now that we've told you everything, one more step won't make a difference. Besides, we helped Master Long before, and if you wanted to do anything bad, we'll do these things for you now. Consider it our way of making amends."
Upon hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because Xia Yan knew very well that although these people had escaped from Master Long's hands, Master Long might not have told them this news in some places.
Moreover, these people were used to working under Master Long and might know some other things about him, so it was easy for them to enter such a place. Realizing this, Xia Yan naturally did not refuse this time. With the help of these people, Xia Yan and Qian Hua easily obtained the so-called evidence.
After helping them, these people did not follow them to the relevant authorities because they knew very well that they used to be under Master Long's command. Last time, they only managed to escape by chance with the help of Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing, so their safety was the most important thing now.
