I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 129 Chen Dandan Ran Away

Li Zhiqiang’s office was small, with room for only himself.

So in that instant, Li Zhiqiang was completely stunned. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

He had never imagined that such a thing could happen, and he was utterly unprepared.

When he came to his senses, he pushed Chen Dandan away briskly, then his face turned red as he scolded her.

Chen Dandan, with tears streaming down her face, was deeply hurt as she left behind the words—"I won’t give up, I will wait for you all my life, if this life isn’t enough, I’ll wait for you in the next..."

Then, she ran out of the office.

It was the first time Li Zhiqiang had encountered such a situation, and his mind was in chaos.

This is a natural reaction; how could any man in such a situation be expected to analyze things rationally at such a stage?

Li Zhiqiang wasn’t in a state of disarray; he wasn’t moved by Chen Dandan’s words, but instead felt repulsed.

He would explain later that he was repulsed because Chen Dandan had actually put her mind to such a thing, because she harbored such filthy thoughts about him, because she was so shameless that she had erased all the good impressions he had of her in his mind.

When he calmed down, he left the office.

At that moment, he still hadn’t realized what had happened.

Two hours later, Director Lin, with a stern face, came with two security officers and took him away.

By then, he still didn’t know what was going on.

Director Lin was livid, his face ashen. He had specifically warned the engineers and supervisors in important positions during a meeting: the base was possibly infiltrated by not just one group of spies, but possibly two or three.

In such times, one must not be complacent, as they were likely lying in wait, not making any moves. Therefore, they needed to be even more vigilant not to fall into the enemy’s trap.

But how could Li Zhiqiang have been so careless?

He asked Li Zhiqiang to check what he had lost.

The next second, Li Zhiqiang felt a chill run through his body.

As the supervisor of the Light Industry Workshop, he had a specially-made access card.

This card allowed him to enter and exit Warehouse No.1 of the base.

His card was lost, stolen by Chen Dandan—in the moment she threw herself into his arms, she had picked the card used to access Warehouse No.1 from his pocket.

Then, Chen Dandan killed the custodian of Warehouse No.1 and stole a pistol and three grenades.

They were the latest prototypes.

These four weapons were on display, not yet secured in the safe.

Because the custodian pressed the alarm in his last moments, Chen Dandan didn’t have time to smash open the safe.

She escaped, managing to get away without anyone reacting quickly enough—within twenty minutes, she had swiftly left the Tenghai Research Base.

She drove off in a jeep.

She abandoned the jeep in Yushu County and then vanished without a trace.

The response from the base was swift, but it still took two hours for the information to come through.

With the communication network not yet well-developed, it took another two hours for orders to be passed down the chain.

Four hours was more than enough for Chen Dandan to go into hiding.

A massive dragnet was spread out across Xichuan, but even after three days, there hadn’t been a single piece of news.

Moreover, Chen Dandan was armed and extremely dangerous. Even now stepping outside required an introduction letter, but due to some regions’ lack of communication development, not everyone was informed of the situation. Even with a national warrant issued, it couldn’t possibly reach everyone’s awareness. There would always be those uninformed and unaware who, upon encountering Chen Dandan, would have no idea how dangerous she was.

This matter was particularly thorny and the consequences could be severe should something happen.

If Chen Dandan sought revenge against society, her three grenades and a pistol could claim countless innocent lives.

But what did she really want to do? Was she truly seeking revenge against society?

He Xiuyu’s voice was somewhat hoarse when, after assembling all the clues, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Chen Dandan wants to save her sister."

Director Lin thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Chen Dandan is doing this to rescue her sister."

Old Wei disagreed strongly, furrowing his brow as he said, "Chen Dandan’s intelligence is high. Even if she had a cannon, it wouldn’t be possible to rescue her sister single-handedly. This isn’t the feudal society of hundreds of years ago. This is a new society where prison breaks like that are simply impossible. Even if she succeeded, where could they possibly flee to afterward?"

No one had anticipated Chen Dandan’s swift reaction. They had only just collected the information on her hometown. Her sister wasn’t like she had claimed, in Yun City; she had been missing for three years. Their parents were not their biological parents, as revealed in this investigation—they were spies embedded deep undercover.

They all followed the orders of Old Mountain Eagle, but no one knew who Old Mountain Eagle was.

However, they all had been in contact with only one individual and did not know whether Chen Dandan was a spy.

But even so, Chen Dandan was no longer suitable to continue in her work position.

However, Chen Dandan was too cunning, or perhaps it was simply coincidental.

Li Zhiqiang had returned from his home, and she had stolen the card from him with which she then took her weapons and successfully escaped. Therefore, there was no need to investigate further; Chen Dandan was unequivocally a spy.

A group from Shangpo Village was still detained in Xichuan, and upon receiving the call, had tightened security and enforced martial law.

So far, the feedback reported everything was quiet, but the woman suspected to be Chen Dandan’s sister had lost her memory.

She didn’t know who she was.

Elder Gai only mentioned that she had picked her up by the roadside and knew neither where she was from nor her name.

They hadn’t released her not only because she didn’t know where her family was but also because she knew some things about Shangpo Village.

Now, everyone was puzzled as to why Chen Dandan was doing this.

There was no need for her to take such a huge risk.

After all, there was no evidence in her hands.

"Upon learning that there was a woman in Shangpo Village who looked very much like her sister and might have been trafficked there, Chen Dandan acted as if it was nothing. Logically, even if she was sure her sister was in Yun City, sure that the woman couldn’t possibly be her sister, she should have at least called home to confirm..." He Xiuyu slowly analyzed, and both Director Lin and Old Wei nodded their agreement. It made sense.

Director Lin was the most frustrated, as there had been someone keeping an eye on Chen Dandan, especially after He Xiuyu had warned him. However, not wanting to startle the snake, they hadn’t kept close surveillance.

Moreover, by coincidence, the guard tasked with watching her had suddenly fallen ill with poisoning and been rushed to the hospital.

That was how Chen Dandan had taken the opportunity to escape.

He Xiuyu continued, "As time passed day by day, her inner anxiety grew more and more intense. Additionally, she had no reason or excuse to go to Xichuan to see the person who might be her sister. So she decided to take the risk."
