BXBX NOVEL Chapter 362 Regret and Despair
This was an apartment he had bought for his lover, registered in the lover\'s name; no one else knew about it.
So even if all his assets were seized and his bank cards frozen, he could still enjoy life here.
This lover was still a college student.
Usually not paying attention to current affairs, only knowing about shopping, so she was unaware of Luo Hongwei being wanted by the police.
At this point, Luo Hongwei, having finished, had taken a shower.
Stepping out of the bathroom, he just heard the doorbell ring.
The college student lover went to open the door.
"Don\'t rush to open the door, first see who it is," Luo Hongwei, with a guilty conscience, feared it might be the police at the door.
"What is there to look at, it should be the takeout I ordered," she said.
The college student lover didn\'t use the peephole to check and directly opened the door instead.
Seeing the person outside the door, the college student lover froze and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Standing at the door were several police officers.
"Damn it, you stupid bitch, I told you to check who it was first, why the hell didn\'t you listen?!" Luo Hongwei cursed furiously.
Obviously, the arrival of the police was definitely no coincidence, they were there for him.
"Luo Hongwei, you think just because you don\'t open the door, we can\'t enter? We already know you\'re living here, we would naturally find a way to get in," the police captain said with a cold laugh.
"What\'s wrong?" the college student lover asked Luo Hongwei, puzzled.
"Miss, Luo Hongwei is already on our wanted list, please step aside so he doesn\'t take you hostage," the captain said, stepping aside.
The college student lover was frightened and confused, and immediately ran outside.
"You traitor!" Luo Hongwei cursed again.
"Luo Hongwei, come with us, do not try to resist, or you\'re the one who will suffer."
The captain waved his hand, and the police officers immediately entered the house.
Luo Hongwei didn\'t resist, because he knew resistance was futile.
If the police were there and inside this tiny house, there was no chance he could escape.
If he resisted, he would only be bringing suffering upon himself.
"What crime did he commit?"
As they walked out of the door, the college student lover asked the police.
"You\'ll know if you watch the news," the captain said.
Afterward, the police led Luo Hongwei away.
The college student lover immediately looked up the news.
Seeing the things Luo Hongwei had done and after checking the relevant legal articles, she realized Luo Hongwei would be sentenced to at least a decade.
"This apartment is mine now!"
Although the apartment was in her name, legally speaking, it belonged to him.
But she knew that as long as Luo Hongwei was willing, he could take it back at any time.
After all, for a wealthy man like Luo Hongwei, doing so was all too easy.
A student like her stood no chance of contending with Luo Hongwei. Experience more on empire
Now that Luo Hongwei was arrested, the apartment was hers.
However, she decided that once she graduated, she would sell the apartment and move to another city to live.
To avoid any trouble Luo Hongwei might cause her after he got out.
If Luo Hongwei knew what his college student lover was planning, one wonders what he would feel.
...
At a small hotel.
These kinds of small hotels could be stayed in without an ID card, though the rooms were a bit small.
For Gao Wenguang and Tan Xiaorong, two fugitives on the run, being able to stay in such a small hotel was already very good.
The two were husband and wife.
Having left the Chen family estate one after another, they had fled to this little hotel near the suburbs.
They kept an ear out for any news, looking for a chance to leave Fengcheng.
Now in Fengcheng, the whole city was on a manhunt for them, so they could only hide wherever they could.
"Sigh, who would have thought we\'d fall to such a state," Tan Xiaorong said with a sigh.
"That Xu Yang, he\'s fucking unbelievable. So many of us, and we still couldn\'t beat him," Gao Wenguang cursed fiercely as he took a drag of his cigarette.
"It\'s not that he\'s unbelievable, it\'s that we all underestimated him. If we had taken him seriously from the start, hadn\'t helped Zheng Kaiyang, and hadn\'t made an enemy of Xu Yang, then none of this would have happened," Tan Xiaorong said, full of regret.
If they had given Xu Yang enough attention and not made an enemy of him, they wouldn\'t have ended up in such a plight.
Alas, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
"It doesn\'t matter. We\'ve saved quite a bit of money over the years. Even though our domestic accounts have been frozen, our anonymous accounts overseas still have a lot of money. As long as we flee abroad, we can still enjoy life. After all, our son is already overseas. It doesn\'t matter if we never come back," Gao Wenguang said with a smile.
"That is true," Tan Xiaorong nodded, then added, "But whether we can escape or not is still an unknown."
These past few days, even though they were hiding here without the police knocking on their door, she always felt uneasy, as if the police might come to catch them at any moment.
"Don\'t worry. The city is locked down now, we can\'t get out, but it won\'t be long before the blockade is lifted. A lockdown of this magnitude can\'t last for too long. We\'ll just hide here and wait until it\'s lifted, then we can leave," Gao Wenguang reassured her.
"Once it\'s lifted, we\'ll travel overland by undercover car to Southeast Asia. Once we\'re out of the country, we\'ll be safe. Then we can take a plane to the beautiful country, and live however we want," he continued, not worried in the slightest.
"Let\'s hope so," said Tan Xiaorong.
No sooner had she spoken than there was a knock at the door.
Tan Xiaorong\'s heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged a glance with Gao Wenguang.
"Who is it?" called out Gao Wenguang.
"I\'m the hotel owner. There\'s a report of a leak in the restroom downstairs. I need to check your restroom, please open the door."
A voice came from outside.
Tan Xiaorong and Gao Wenguang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they thought it very unlikely that the police had discovered them.
They were still startled by the knock at the door.
The guilt-ridden are always afraid of being discovered.
Tan Xiaorong signaled for Gao Wenguang to open the door.
Gao Wenguang went to open the door, but upon seeing the police standing outside, his face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Wenguang, what\'s wrong with you?" Tan Xiaorong asked in confusion. Upon seeing the police entering, her own face also turned pale.
They thought that no one had discovered them hiding here.
They never expected to be found out.
The police had arrived, and it was over for them.
Especially for Tan Xiaorong, she felt waves of despair.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Unlike Gao Wenguang, who was only involved in taking money for services rendered and at most could be sentenced for a huge amount of embezzlement and bribery, he definitely wouldn\'t face the death penalty.
Her case was different, with murder charges against her and all the other things she had done, she couldn\'t possibly escape the death penalty.
"Take them away!" the lead police captain commanded with a wave of his hand, and immediately had his officers handcuff the two and then led them away.
…
On the Chen family\'s side.
He was as cunning as they come, having anticipated the possibility of a crisis and had long prepared an escape route for himself.
This escape route would allow him to leave the city safely even if the police had a city-wide lockdown in effect.
It was a route known by very few.
Using another person\'s account, he had bought a house in the rural area outside Fengcheng. Inside that house, he had hidden five million in cash.
Compared to his past wealth, five million wasn\'t much, but it was still more than most people had in the world.
With frugal spending, it was enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
