Leaving Chengguan was to give birth to the child and avoid gossip. Yang Jian finally understood Lu Yao's difficulties, and his family had all wronged her.
"Feng Ge, tell me Yao Yao's address and phone number. I want to go find her."
Yang Jian was eager to see Lu Yao and his child.
Lu Feng shook his head, "I only know that Yao Yao lives in Tianheyuan residential area in Kyoto. She is living in my cousin's house. I don't know her phone number because I can't call them from here."
"What about your uncle and aunt's phone numbers?"
"I didn't remember them either, mainly because they're not needed here."
"Alright then, I'll go to Kyoto as soon as possible."
After the meeting, Yang Jian also deposited one thousand yuan into Lu Feng's account.
Upon leaving prison, Yang Jian discussed with Biao Biao and decided to call Yang Fan first to see if he could find information on San Pang and the others in a short time, and then decide whether to go to northern Myanmar or Kyoto to find Lu Yao.
"Fan Ge, it's Yang Jian. How are you?"
Yang Jian successfully dialed Yang Fan's number. He hadn't spoken to him in a long time.
"Xiao Yang, hearing your voice means you're out. Congratulations."
"Thanks, Fan Ge. I'm out, acquitted. Afeng and the other two were sentenced to three years. I just visited Afeng. I haven't found out which prison Anan and Jun Jun are in yet."
"They were sentenced to three years? That's a good outcome. I thought they would be sentenced to at least five years. They must have spent a lot of money. I'll compensate them for these expenses later."
"Fan Ge, there's no need for compensation. They have shares in my company and their income won't be low."
"You are you, and I am me. I implicated them. Xiao Yang, what are your plans after coming out? Come visit me when you have time."
"Fan Ge, I actually need to go to your place. I'm calling you today, first to say hello after coming out, and second to ask for your help with something."
"What is it, tell me?"
"Do you remember my brother San Pang? The one who was a dealer at the Hongqi Street casino?"
"Yes, I remember. The little胖子 left a deep impression on me. What happened to him?"
"He was tricked into going to northern Myanmar. Also, more than a dozen young men from our Xinqiao Town were tricked into going. Because San Pang was working for me, he was tricked, and others were tricked by San Pang. So I have the obligation and responsibility to bring them back."
"What the hell, Xiao Pang Zi has such bad luck. He was working for you, so he shouldn't be short of money. How could he be deceived?"
"He was tricked by his master, my enemy, who tricked him to retaliate against me."
"Oh, I see. Then catch his master and find out who he sold the胖子 to. I'll help you check."
"Perhaps he heard that I was out, so his master has gone into hiding and can't be found now."
"That's very troublesome. There are too many human traffickers, fraud companies, and underworld forces here. Tens of thousands of Chinese people have been tricked here. It's too difficult to find Pang Zi in the vast sea of people without any clues."
Yang Fan's words chilled Yang Jian to the bone. He had thought the matter was too simple. Bringing San Pang back was indeed not easy.
"Fan Ge, is it useful for me to come to you now?"
"You can come and play anytime, but don't come to find someone. Find his master first. If you really can't find his master, then send me San Pang's and his master's information, and I'll arrange for people to investigate on a large scale. But this will take time, and you'll have to wait patiently. There's no guarantee of results."
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."
Through Yang Fan's introduction, Yang Jian knew that this matter could not be rushed. After hanging up the phone, he sent San Pang, Wan Quan, and Cat Brother's information via text message, including Cat Brother's drug trafficking situation, hoping that Yang Fan could find clues through this channel.
The two returned to Chengguan. Yang Jian planned to meet Lin Nan to discuss San Pang's matter and see if Cat Brother could be investigated. He also wanted to ask for Wei Xia's phone number and then contact Lu Yao through Wei Xia.
Lin Nan was on a business trip out of town, but he answered the phone. He had also heard about San Pang's matter, but there was no evidence that the fraud was related to Cat Brother, so he couldn't file a case to investigate Cat Brother.
He also got Wei Xia's phone number. Yang Jian called Wei Xia, but she was hesitant. Besides asking about his situation outside over the years with concern, she refused to disclose any information about Lu Yao, which Yang Jian found very puzzling.
After much consideration, Yang Jian decided to go directly to Kyoto to find Lu Yao. Before leaving, he went to the police station to apply for a passport, preparing for future trips to northern Myanmar.
After staying in Chengguan for one night, Yang Jian boarded the train to Kyoto the next day. At the same time, he asked Biao Biao to keep a close eye on Cat Brother and Bao Guo's movements at home.
Hancheng, Binjiang Park.
Cat Brother and Bao Guo stood by the river, looking at the ships coming and going on the Han River with vexation.
"Master, a brother called me and said that Biao Biao is spending a lot of money to track our whereabouts. It seems that San Pang's matter has been exposed, and Yang Jian is preparing to deal with us with all his might."
Bao Guo's voice was filled with worry. Like Cat Brother, he came out immediately upon hearing the news of Yang Jian's return.
Cat Brother slammed the railing in front of him with his fist, "Damn it, why did Yang Jian get out so quickly? Wasn't he a nationally wanted fugitive? He was acquitted, which is incredible."
"Master, I've inquired. Yang Jian is running a casino and gambling business in Dongjiang. He has made at least hundreds of millions in the past few years. He has money. What can't money solve in this society? If it can't be solved, it's because there's not enough money. Yang Jian holds billions in funds. Who can resist his heavy bribes?"
"Now that he's back, we can't stay in Chengguan anymore. You bought a house in Hancheng. Bring your wife and children over as soon as possible to prevent anyone from coercing them. Be careful in Hancheng too, as it's too close to Xinhe. It won't be difficult for Yang Jian to investigate you."
"What about you, Master? Aren't you planning to settle in Hancheng?"
"I plan to open a bed and breakfast on the Yunnan-Myanmar border and settle there for retirement."
Cat Brother was truly scared. He also had a house in Hancheng, but he still felt unsafe. Once Yang Jian found him, it would be a dead end. It was better to be as far away from his hometown as possible.
"Are you not doing the drug business anymore?"
"Of course, I am. I've already opened up the supply channels in northern Myanmar. Living there is for the convenience of stocking up. From now on, you'll have to work harder. The domestic transportation and sales will be handed over to you. Pay attention to your methods and don't get targeted by the police. If necessary, sacrifice your brothers to protect yourself."
"I know how to do this and nothing will go wrong. What about your daughter? Is she going with you out of town?"
"She can't go. The medical conditions there are not good. I plan to keep her in a large hospital in Hancheng for long-term inpatient treatment. Her illness can only be treated by spending money or waiting to die. I can only fulfill my last duty as a father and let her live a few more years if possible. My wife and son are also staying in Hancheng. Visit them often when you have time."
Cat Brother probably knew he was on a path of no return, so he made arrangements for his family.
