Dai Shiya held the note, her fingertips slightly white. The west wall of the chemical plant, the drainage pipe, three o'clock in the morning... these words kept echoing in her mind, piecing together with Li Mei's words and the pattern on the note.
"Shiya, what are you thinking about?" Wei Qing rushed back exhausted. Seeing Dai Shiya's solemn expression, her heart tightened.
"Qing'er, take a look at this." Dai Shiya handed the note to Wei Qing, and told her what Li Mei said and her own speculation, "I suspect that Dai Xue and the organization's secret base is in the chemical plant!"
Wei Qing took the note and carefully read every word on it, frowning. She knew that if Dai Shiya's speculation was correct, then this secret base might contain key evidence that could prove Dai Shiya's innocence.
"But the chemical plant is heavily guarded. How can we get in?" Wei Qing asked worriedly.
"The note says the drainage pipe, at three in the morning..." Dai Shiya's eyes fell on the note, and a bold plan gradually took shape in her mind, "Qing'er, you make another run and go to the west wall of the chemical plant to guard it. At three in the morning, we..."
As night fell, Wei Qing followed Dai Shiya's plan and lurked outside the west wall of the chemical plant. In order to avoid the sight of patrol officers, she deliberately changed into night clothes and hid herself in the dense grass.
As time passed, Wei Qing's heartbeat became faster and faster. The clock struck three in the morning, and a faint sound came from the distance. She held her breath and looked through the night vision goggles to see a familiar figure crawling along the drainage pipe with difficulty...
"Shiya!" Wei Qing's heart was in her throat, but she knew that now was not the time to expose herself. She had to believe in Dai Shiya and believe that they could succeed.
Dai Shiya crawled forward, the dirty mud soaked her clothes, but she did not dare to stop. Finally, she reached her target location - the end of the drainage pipe, an exit blocked by iron fence.
Dai Shiya took a deep breath, took out a small tool from her pocket, and began to try to open the iron fence...
At the same time, inside the chemical plant, Dai Xue was pacing anxiously.
"Haven't you found it yet? You bunch of rubbish!" She yelled at the person on the other end of the phone, "Keep looking. Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find it for me!"
After hanging up the phone, Dai Xue's eyes flashed with viciousness.
"Damn it, someone must have leaked the news..." She muttered to herself, and the figures of Dai Shiya and Wei Qing appeared in her mind, "Someone come!"
Two bodyguards in black came in.
"Be on high alert, especially..." Dai Xue paused, and a thought flashed through her mind, "Especially the west wall. Kill any suspicious person without mercy!" Dai Xue paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and the sound of her high heels hitting the floor was like a hammer hitting her heart. An ominous premonition enveloped her, making her feel uneasy.
"Damn it! There must be something wrong!" Dai Xue gritted her teeth. She suddenly remembered Dai Shiya's all-seeing eyes in the detention center during the day, and she felt even more uneasy. "Could she have noticed something?"
Thinking of this, Dai Xue could no longer remain calm. She grabbed the phone and said in a hurried and cold tone: "Move the things immediately, right now! Also, send someone to the west wall and search it carefully. Anyone who is suspicious will be killed without mercy!"
Outside the west wall of the chemical plant, Wei Qing held her breath and observed the surrounding environment through the night vision goggles. Dai Shiya had been in the base for a while, but there was no news, and Wei Qing was extremely anxious.
"I hope everything goes well..." Wei Qing prayed silently in her heart.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, accompanied by the beam of a flashlight swaying in the darkness.
"Oh no, they are coming!" Wei Qing was shocked and immediately realized that the situation was not good.
Without hesitation, she turned and ran into the darkness, trying to escape the pursuit. However, the other party was well prepared, and several men in black came from different directions and surrounded her.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Wei Qing asked calmly, but her clenched fists revealed her inner nervousness.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just follow us!" One of the men in black said viciously and reached out to grab Wei Qing's arm.
Wei Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She dodged the opponent's attack by turning sideways and at the same time raised her leg to kick the knee of the other man in black.
"Want to catch me? Not that easy!" Wei Qing snorted coldly. Although she was not a professional fighter, she had learned dancing since she was a child and was quite agile.
However, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that the other side is outnumbered and well-trained. After a fierce fight, Wei Qing gradually lost her strength and had several more scars on her body.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't escape!" The man in black pressed forward with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Even if I die here today, you won't succeed!" Wei Qing gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming with determination. She knew that she couldn't fall down, she had to buy time for Dai Shiya!
At this moment, a shrill siren sounded from far away, breaking the silence of the night...
In the detention room, Dai Shiya suddenly opened her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"It's time..." She whispered, with a confident smile on her face, "Mr. Policeman, I need to make a phone call. I have important clues to provide..."
The shrill sound of the police sirens echoed in Wei Qing's ears like the sound of nature. A glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "It's too late..." She smiled bitterly and let the men in black surround her.
At the same time, in the detention room, Dai Shiya put down the phone and smiled meaningfully. She stood up and walked to the surveillance camera in the corner of the room, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Officers, I know you are monitoring here. I have the key evidence of Dai Xue's crime, which is enough to prove my innocence, but now someone wants to kill her!"
She raised her voice deliberately to ensure that her words could be heard clearly.
"As law enforcers, are you going to watch criminals go unpunished?" Dai Shiya's voice was loud and clear, with unquestionable power, "If you rush to the suburban chemical plant now, you may be able to prevent a tragedy from happening!"
Several policemen in the monitoring room looked at each other in bewilderment. Dai Shiya's words made them feel shaken.
"Boss, do you want to..." A young policeman looked at the old policeman beside him, hesitant to speak.
The old policeman frowned and fell into deep thought. Although he was skeptical about Dai Shiya's words, his intuition told him that this woman was not simple.
"Send someone to the suburban chemical plant immediately!" Finally, the old policeman made a decision, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it!"
Dai Shiya looked at the surveillance camera with confidence in her eyes. She knew that she had made the right bet!
Outside the chemical plant on the outskirts of the city, the sound of sirens was getting closer and closer, and the men in black were obviously a little panicked.
"Hurry, take her away!" the leading man in black roared in a low voice.
Wei Qing was dragged by someone holding her arm, but she always held the USB flash drive tightly in her hand. She had tried her best to keep it, and it was also Dai Shiya's only hope!
Suddenly, Wei Qing tripped, lost her balance, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" She screamed in pain, and the USB flash drive in her hand flew out, drawing a perfect arc in the air and finally falling into a patch of grass.
"Go find it quickly!" the men in black roared and dispersed to look for the USB flash drive.
Wei Qing struggled to get up, but a foot stepped hard on her back. The severe pain made her unable to move.
"Don't waste your energy!" the man in black said viciously, "You can't escape!"
A feeling of despair spread in Wei Qing's heart. Is everything going to fail?
At this moment, a shadow flashed by, and a hand picked up the USB flash drive from the bushes... The dazzling headlights cut through the darkness, and the sharp sound of brakes made the men in black turn their heads. A police car, like an angry bull, broke through the iron gate of the chemical plant and stopped in front of everyone.
"Police!" Someone shouted, and the men in black immediately got into a mess. Taking advantage of the chaos, one hand pulled Wei Qing up and quickly stuffed her into the back seat of the police car. The police car did not stop at all, and with a beautiful tailspin, it disappeared into the night, leaving only a pile of exhaust and the astonished eyes of the men in black.
In the police station, Dai Shiya waited anxiously. When Wei Qing appeared in front of her with scars but still excited, she finally felt relieved.
"I'm fine, I succeeded!" Wei Qing raised the USB flash drive in her hand, with a victorious smile on her tired face.
Dai Shiya took the USB drive and held it in her hand with great care, as if she was holding her own destiny. The USB drive contained all the evidence that Dai Xue and Lawyer Chen had colluded to frame her, including audio recordings, videos, and even records of their financial transactions. She knew that she was not far from clearing her name.
But Dai Shiya was not overwhelmed by joy. She knew Lawyer Chen's cunning and tactics too well, and he would definitely be prepared. Sure enough, when the court opened a few days later, when Dai Shiya presented evidence with hope, Lawyer Chen just smiled contemptuously.
"Your Honor, this evidence is false!" He calmly took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, "We have new evidence..."
