Chapter 623: Sent to the Police Station
Li Yuan scoffed mockingly, “If you won’t help me, don’t blame me for exposing your true nature!”
Song Ling knew what Li Yuan was about to reveal and watched him coldly without intervening.
Li Yuan glared at Gu Dai, “The reason I could successfully plant the bomb and capture Fu Jing and Fu Chuan was all thanks to President Song. It was he who used his family’s influence in the city to arrange everything for me, and all I had to do in return was eliminate Su Ting!”
As his words fell, he awaited a reaction of surprise, but Gu Dai remained composed, not even a flicker of concern crossing her brow.
Li Yuan felt as though he had punched cotton, unable to contain his frustration, he bellowed, “Everyone around you has betrayed you, why are you still so calm? Why?”
Gu Dai met Li Yuan’s gaze, hinting, “Perhaps you should wonder why the bomb didn’t explode.”
Li Yuan froze.
Why hadn’t the bomb exploded…
Indeed, why hadn’t it? After all, Song Ling had a.s.sured him everything was set.
A possibility flashed through Li Yuan’s mind, his pupils dilating in shock as he turned to Song Ling, incredulous, “You told Gu Dai about our plan!”
Song Ling remained silent, merely gazing indifferently at Li Yuan.
Already in pain from his wound, Li Yuan’s blood flowed more freely under stress, his face drained of all color, as sirens sounded in the distance.
Panic flitted across his face as he looked to his own people, hoping they would help him escape. Yet, upon meeting his eyes, they awkwardly averted their gazes as if they hadn’t seen him.
Su Ting noticed Li Yuan’s desperation and remarked lightly, “I managed to neutralize the bomb and rescue the hostages because I had already turned your men against you.”
Li Yuan felt completely drained, “I thought I had everything under control, but it turns out I was the fool, played by you all along. I admit, in the end, you won!”
He eyed the approaching police, pushing himself to stand and began backing away.
The police warned, “Don’t back up, you’re at the edge of the rooftop!”
Li Yuan laughed, his movement aggravating his wound, causing him to hiss in pain. He composed himself, madness glinting in his eyes, “I won’t let you catch me!”
With those words, he closed his eyes and leaped from the rooftop, expecting death. Surprisingly, he landed on a soft cushion below and was immediately restrained by the waiting police.
Stunned, Li Yuan muttered, “How could this be?”
Gu Dai approached him, explaining, “We antic.i.p.ated you might attempt suicide and had already prepared for it.”
Li Yuan sneered, “You even prevent me from dying, aren’t you afraid I might escape again and come after you?”
Gu Dai confidently replied, “This time, you won’t escape.”
Li Yuan boasted, “I hope you keep that confidence! I advise you to kill me now because if I get out, I won’t spare you!”
As the police were about to intervene, Gu Dai stopped them and earnestly said to Li Yuan, “Over the years, you’ve hurt countless people; you must face legal consequences, not death as an escape.”
She paused, then added, “And from what I’ve learned about you, you are too proud, only willing to end your life on your terms, never captured by someone else. So, I definitely can’t let you die so easily!”
Li Yuan’s eyes widened, his rage boiling over, “Gu Dai, you’re truly ruthless. Pray I never escape from prison, or I won’t let you off!”
Gu Dai nodded, “I hope you do have a chance to escape.”
To prevent a recurrence of Li Yuan’s previous escape, she had specially arranged for her elite agents, all trained in top global camps and possessing high intelligence and physical strength, to guard him. They would ensure he couldn’t easily break free again.
As Fu Jing watched Li Yuan being escorted into the police car, the weight that had pressed on her heart finally lifted. She relaxed completely, turning to Gu Dai with excitement, “It’s wonderful, Li Yuan has finally been caught!”
