Chapter Thirteen: The Vanishing Diamond (Part One)

  "Boom!"

  Something that no one had expected happened, the driver monkey who should have been shot dead long ago suddenly came back to life and started the car, driving it forward fiercely and crashing into a police car, knocking down two policemen standing next to it.

  Then, the monkey in the car rolled down from the car and climbed into an unmanned police car. It started the engine and drove away quickly. The whole process took less than a minute. The policemen who were focusing on Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli were stunned and didn't react until they saw the hijacker driving the police car away.

  "Chase! Why aren't you chasing after me? Faster!"

  The deputy director was the first to react, furiously shouting loudly. More than a dozen police cars immediately followed, chasing after the monkey's car from a distance. Without any hostages, they didn't have as many concerns when pursuing. A thrilling scene of a police chase unfolded in the suburbs of Qingdao.

  But all of this had nothing to do with Li Yang anymore, having dodged the crisis, Li Yang's highly tense mind also suddenly relaxed, and the three-dimensional image in his brain also disappeared instantly.

  Li Yang is now completely soft on the ground, his throat still feels very sick, and suddenly he vomited out all the undigested food in his stomach.

  Wu Xiaoli's performance was even worse than Li Yang, and when she saw the police approaching her, she directly fainted, but it's also good this way, no need to have that disgusting feeling anymore.

  ……………

  Qingdao City People's Hospital, in a separate isolation ward, Li Yang lay on the bed with his mouth and tongue numb from vomiting repeatedly, it was common to see people like this when they saw a dead person for the first time, but few were as severe as Li Yang, he had vomited so much that he was almost dehydrated.

  But if these police or doctors knew that Li Yang had experienced a 3D explosion scene, they would probably not think so, and this explosion scene was so clear, so close, more enjoyable than watching a 3D movie.

  "Li Yang, are you okay?" Zhang Ying quickly entered Li Yang's ward after getting permission from the police. Li Yang weakly shook his head, he didn't even have the strength to wave his hand now.

  Seeing Li Yang's appearance, Zhang Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned: "How could such a thing happen? Fortunately, neither of you is hurt, what a blessing!"

  Actually, Zhang Ying was also afraid afterwards. If it wasn't for wanting to help Li Yang and not let him go gamble, the one who would have been robbed along with the bank's escort would have been Zhang Ying himself. If he had been taken hostage, Zhang Ying really didn't know if he would have been as lucky as Li Yang to come back alive. Before he even arrived at the hospital, he heard many people talking about these robbery cases, and those robbers were ruthless killers who wouldn't bat an eye.

  Li Yang's mouth curled up in a wry smile as his consciousness slowly faded, the fear and exhaustion of this day finally getting the better of him.

  When he woke up again, it was already the next morning. Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Li Yang moved his sore body and tried to get up with all his might.

  "Are you awake?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded, Li Yang turned his head and only then discovered a beautiful female police officer, who looked to be in her early twenties and was quite tall, standing in front of his hospital bed.

  Li Yang nodded slightly, waking up to see a beautiful woman could make his mood better. This beauty would be even better if she weren't wearing a police uniform, but the beauty in a police uniform also had a kind of heroic beauty.

  "I'm Zhou Xia of the Municipal Police Force, you can call me Officer Zhou. I have a few questions to ask you, don't know if it's convenient for you right now!" Zhou Xia's face was expressionless, her tone was icy cold, but at least it was an inquiring tone, seeking Li Yang's opinion.

  Li Yang shook his head, and finally saw the whole ward clearly. In addition to Officer Zhou, there was a young male police officer holding a notebook, with his right hand grasping a pen staring at Li Yang.

  "Alright, ask away!" Li Yang made an effort to clear his mind and finally nodded.

  Zhou Xia nodded at the male police officer beside her and asked directly, "I'd like to ask, what happened after you were hijacked that day? The more detailed, the better!"

  "That day, after we were hijacked..."

  Li Yang recalled and slowly told everything that happened that day, except for the last part which he didn't mention, all the others were described very detailed.

  Zhou Xia looked at her colleague in surprise, and the male police officer also stared at Zhou Xia in surprise. Neither of them had expected Li Yang to remember so many details. At that time, Li Yang was a hostage, and ordinary people would have been panicked and disoriented in such a situation, but Li Yang still remembered various characteristics of the robbers.

  For example, Li Yang said that the escaped monkey was the youngest of the four robbers, with a black mole on his neck, which might be the origin of his name. Li Yang also said that before the robbery, the monkey had told him that he had consulted a fortune teller who said he would have no accidents or dangers. According to what the monkey said, the fortune teller should be in Qingdao and it was not long before the robbery that this happened.

  "I really didn't expect you to remember so much, Mr. Li. I believe the things you provided will be of great help in capturing the monkey?" Zhou Xia said slowly after carefully looking at Li Yang for a while.

  Li Yang was taken aback for a moment and hastily asked: "Capture? Do you mean that monkey got away in the end?"

  Zhou Xia nodded: "Although we are very reluctant, but unfortunately have to tell you that the hijacker called Monkey finally escaped, a train that happened to pass by helped him a lot!"

  Li Yang didn't listen carefully to the rest of the words, as in the past after a big disaster he always heard good news, but today what he heard was absolutely bad news. He had a deep understanding of the ferocity of those robbers, and he really didn't know if the escaped robber would push the responsibility for their failure onto him, although he hadn't done anything, but these robbers wouldn't go to reason with them, if it were true then he and his family would be in danger.

  "Also, there's another thing we'd like to ask you, when they were loading those jewels, did they separate the diamonds on the jewels?"

  Zhou Xia looked at Li Yang carefully, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked slowly.

  Li Yang's heart skipped a beat, these police had already discovered that the diamonds were gone, but they were now asking themselves what was definitely unknown about what had happened. Li Yang recalled that the disappearance of those diamonds all occurred in Scarface's pocket, and no one saw it.

  Thinking of this, Li Yang's mood relaxed a bit, and he shook his head: "No way, I was lowering my head at that time and only knew they re-packed all the jewelry, specifically how they packed it I don't know!"

  "Alright then, sorry to trouble you. Thank you for your cooperation today!" Zhou Xia looked deeply at Li Yang one last time and nodded towards the male police officer, indicating that she had finished asking her questions.

  "No need to be polite, what's going on, why are you asking this?" Li Yang nodded silently and looked at Zhou Xia again.

  Zhou Xia looked at Li Yang, her eyebrows slightly twitching as a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Nothing much, when we were cleaning up the stolen jewelry, we found that three necklaces and a diamond ring were missing, but no other accessories had this problem!"

  Zhou Xia said, then patted Li Yang's shoulder: "Mr. Li, you should rest well, your brave action of saving colleagues at critical moments is really admirable, I also heard that Mr. Li has saved others in times of crisis, now there are not many people like you in society!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhou Xia stood up straight and walked out, while Li Yang sat there in a daze. In the end, saving Wu Xiaoli was also an unintentional move. Li Yang is not inherently a bad person, he can't just watch someone being beaten to death right in front of him, let alone his beautiful female colleague.

  As she opened the door to the ward, Zhou Xia suddenly turned back and smiled: "By the way, I heard that those four lost diamonds are all over 4 carats each, with a total value of over 7 million. If Mr. Li remembers anything, please notify us immediately, we would be extremely grateful!"

  After finishing this sentence, the two policemen finally left. It was a long time before Li Yang collected his stunned expression and stretched out his hands to silently look at his palms.
