Chapter 294 Give me a little air
Around 2 a.m., Awen arrived with several helpers.
Everyone was dressed in civilian clothes.
The group split into two groups and hid near the front and back doors of Cai Zhengjie's villa.
It was around 3 a.m.
A Buick pulled up in front of Cai Zhengjie's house.
A person got out of the back seat; it was Cai Lei.
Cai Lei looked very tired, his eyes were lifeless, and he walked unsteadily, with a chaotic rhythm in his arm swings.
Cai Lei walked up three steps, but before he even reached the door, his mother opened the door halfway, pulled him inside, and quickly closed it.
Just before the door closed, Cai Lei's mother glanced outside warily twice, her gaze finally settling on the passenger seat of the Buick, her eyes filled with unease.
After dropping Cai Lei off, the black Buick didn't leave but parked in a parking space diagonally opposite the villa.
The person in the driver's seat reclined and lay down on it.
A middle-aged man with a crew cut got out of the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette and carrying a phone. He walked around to the back door and lay down under the gazebo.
It seems these two aren't planning to leave tonight and are going to spend the night here.
It's obvious that Cai Lei is being controlled.
After seeing this, Zheng Zhiguo finally understood why Cai Zhengjie had made these arrangements, bringing people in through the back door and asking if he had brought any.
The lights on the second floor of the villa came on; that was Cai Lei's room.
About 20 minutes later, the lights on the second floor went out, and the surroundings became quiet.
The people in the Buick got out, lit mosquito coils next to the car, and then closed their eyes and went to sleep.
People at the back gate pavilion were listening to storytelling on their phones.
Time passed slowly, and it was almost 4 o'clock.
At that moment, Zheng Zhiguo's phone vibrated.
I took it out and saw that it was sent by Dawei.
"Control those two who are keeping watch."
Then they immediately went inside to rescue the people.
It is clear that Dawei was acting on Cai Zhengjie's orders.
Zheng Zhiguo gave the order to proceed.
The plainclothes officers who had been hiding around the front and back doors emerged, and in pairs, they crept towards the two people who were keeping watch.
Once they got close, one person covered the mouth of the person keeping watch, while the other began to pry open their hands and tie their thumbs with cable ties. Then, they untied their belts and tied the feet of the two people keeping watch.
After the matter was settled, one member of the two-person team stayed behind to guard the two men on site.
The other person in the two-person group moved closer to Zheng Zhiguo, who led the team to Cai Zhengjie's back door.
It was exactly 4 a.m.
Zheng Zhiguo gently knocked on the back door.
The door opened immediately.
Cai Zhengjie stood anxiously inside the door, glancing nervously at Zheng Zhiguo and his group.
"You recognize me, don't you?"
"Of course I know you, Secretary Zhengjie."
"Okay, Chen Dawei vouched for you. You'd better keep quiet about what happened today. If word gets out, none of you will get away with it, and Chen Dawei will be implicated too."
This was Cai Zhengjie trying to scare them.
Zheng Zhiguo was unaware of the details and had no intention of revealing them. He nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Zhengjie. I'm the most reliable person when it comes to handling things. I won't let a word of it slip out."
Cai Zhengjie gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and waved his hand: "Go up there, pin him down, wrap him in a blanket, and take him away."
Zheng Zhiguo led the team into the house. Watching them go upstairs, Cai Zhengjie became worried and scared again, and whispered, "Keep it down."
Zheng Zhiguo gave him an OK sign, went up to the second floor, and saw Cai Zhengjie's wife standing at the end of the second-floor corridor, tears on her face, pointing to a room.
Zheng Zhiguo rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, and his two capable young men, Xiao Fu and A Wen, had already come to his left and right.
He saw Director Zheng wave his hand.
Xiao Fu pushed open the door, and Awen led the way as they rushed in.
The people behind turned on their powerful flashlights and shone them into the house.
Cai Lei was sleeping with the blanket between his legs when Xiao Fu lifted the blanket and covered his hands and feet. A Wen then picked up a pillow from the side and pressed it onto Cai Lei's head.
"Gently, gently," Cai Lei's mother said anxiously.
Cai Lei woke up and began to struggle: "Ugh—ugh—what are you doing? Who are you people?!"
Zheng Zhigu picked up the pillowcase and threw it on his head: "Gag him."
The group was in a flurry of activity; some pressed down on the hands and feet, some pressed down on the mouth, and some stuffed handkerchiefs into the mouth.
Within ten seconds, the short and thin Cai Lei was subdued.
The young police officer carried the person downstairs.
They went out the back door and threw the person into the car.
Zheng Zhiguo ordered a retreat.
The two police officers responsible for guarding and tailing the two men at the front and back doors abandoned them and hurriedly got into their car.
Several cars immediately headed towards the highway.
Next step.
Liao Zhongxian led his men to the vicinity of Cai Zhengjie's villa and arrested the two people who were tailing him, one in front and one behind, on suspicion of illegal stalking.
The highway entrance is just ahead.
Cai Lei struggled, trying to cause trouble at the highway entrance to attract the attention of the toll collector and get the highway staff to call the police.
He was completely wrapped in the blanket, with only his head sticking out. He moved around and shook his mouth, trying to get the handkerchief out of his mouth.
Zheng Zhiguo, in the passenger seat, slapped him across the face: "Behave yourself!"
We are trying to save you.
"If you don't want to drag your whole family down with you, you'd better behave yourself."
The two police officers in the back seat forcefully pressed Cai Lei's head down. At the highway exit, the driver successfully obtained the card without arousing the suspicion of the toll collector.
We sped towards Qinghe City.
Cai Lei, huddled in the back seat, struggled to breathe: "Give me some air..."
He was making muffled noises, his words unclear.
Zheng Zhiguo took out his phone to make a call, then waved his hand behind him. Only then did the person in the back seat release Cai Lei, and he felt a little better.
"Director Zheng..." Chen Xianping was woken up by the phone call.
"Xianping, wake up, something big has happened."
Chen Xianping immediately sat up in bed: "Director Zheng, please give your instructions."
"Prepare a quiet, secluded room for me. I'll be there soon. This is confidential, so don't let too many people know about it. I'll let your boss know first. You can get ready now."
"Yes."
The car arrived at the villa where Chen Xianping lived.
Cai Lei was handed over to Chen Xianping.
The person was tied to the bed, with their hands and feet immobilized.
It was almost dawn.
Zheng Zhiguo and the others didn't sleep all night. He first had his brothers stay at the farm, and then went to Chen Xianping's house to tell Chen Xianping what had happened.
After listening, Chen Xianping said with certainty, "This man is a drug addict. I can tell at a glance. Zhou Dongliang was like this before."
"I'm entrusting this person to you; nothing can happen to him."
"What if he gets cravings?"
"Force him to quit; find him a professional doctor."
"That's going to be tough!" Chen Xianping asked worriedly. "This guy has such delicate skin, can he handle it?"
