“Take them away!” Captain Liu ordered, and the other officers promptly bolstered their guns, handcuffing Curly, Mei Cheng and the others one by one and leading them into police cars.

Medical staff were busy lifting Tang Long into a car, with Tang Mei following closely, tears almost drained from her eyes.

Lu Si carefully held Mei Shu, sighing with relief, “I told you to signal us immediately if there was any trouble. Why didn’t you give us the signal?”

They had agreed beforehand that if there was any sudden situation, Mei Shu could press her phone to activate the emergency call, and Lu Si would immediately inform Captain Liu for action.

But they never received a call from Mei Shu throughout the operation because it was too late, and they couldn’t see the situation clearly from their side. Hence, they refrained from acting recklessly.

Mei Shu sighed, “I was afraid there might be another escape route in this area, so I wanted to capture Mei Cheng first and then call you. But I didn’t expect Tang Long to rush out to save Tang Mei, resulting in someone getting injured.” “It’s not your fault,” Lu Si gently stroked her hair, comforting her softly, “Since Mei Cheng dared to show up in person, he must have planned his retreat. You wanted to ensure everything was foolproof, not giving Mei Cheng a chance to escape. You thought it through thoroughly.”

Mei Shu still felt very bad.

Just then, Captain Liu approached, so Mei Shu pushed Lu Si aside, her expression indifferent. “Captain Liu, thank you for cooperating with my plan this time.”

Captain Liu raised his hand to stop her and said, “Don’t say that. I should thank you for trusting our police force. You played a crucial role in dismantling this kidnapping and gambling gang.”

Mei Shu shook her head and asked, “How did the search go? Are there any escapees?”

Captain Liu replied, “Everyone has been captured. 1 had my officers conduct a thorough search of the surroundings and found at least three other routes out of the abandoned factory area. If it weren’t for your plan, Mei Cheng would likely have chosen to escape when he saw the situation change. Then, it would have been much more difficult for us to apprehend him.”

Mei Shu forced a smile, “But my plan wasn’t foolproof either. Lu Si and I will go to the hospital to check on Tang Mei’s brother first. If you need me for questioning, you can find me anytime, I will cooperate.”

“Alright, we’ll see you later.” Captain Liu and his team got into the police cars and left with the suspects.

Mei Shu and Lu Si drove to the hospital, where Tang Long was still in the operating room and hadn’t come out yet.

Tang Mei sat slumped in a chair, her eyes dull and vacant.

Mei Shu sat beside her, comforting her, “Don’t worry, the injury shouldn’t be life-threatening. Xiao Long will be fine.”

“President Mei, just before I was put in the ambulance, Curly quietly told me something.” Her eyes glistened with tears, “He said Xiao Long actually proposed this idea. He wanted to lure me here to exchange his own escape route. Curly warned me to be careful of Xiao Long, saying his intentions weren’t pure.”

“What do you think?” Mei Shu asked thoughtfully.

Tang Mei suddenly sat up straight, shaking her head, “I don’t believe Xiao Long would want to harm me. Even if he did say those things, I believe he was just buying time. He wouldn’t really want me to be a hostage for him.”

Mei Shu pursed her lips, pretending to look relaxed, “That’s good. When he wakes up, he’ll probably explain it to you. Have you told your mom about this?” “Not yet. I just told my mom that Xiao Long was found, and I’ll teach him a lesson. 1 didn’t mention anything else,” Tang Mei replied.

“Okay.” Mei Shu patted her shoulder, wanting to offer some comforting words, but realized that anything said at this moment would seem inadequate.

Fortunately, at that moment, the operating room lights suddenly went out.

Hope reignited in Tang Mei’s eyes as she hurried to the door, grabbing the doctor’s hand, “How is my brother?”

The doctor explained carefully, “He’s not in critical condition, but the wound is deep. He needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time and requires careful care. Otherwise, his arm may have sequelae.”

Tang Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, her body almost sliding down, but Mei Shu supported her, preventing her from falling completely.

“Thank you, doctor. Can we take the patient back to the ward now?” Mei Shu inquired about the next steps while supporting Tang Mei.

Mei Shu meticulously noted the timing for changing the bandages and the dosage of medication, then requested a nurse for a sticky note, where she wrote down all the details and affixed it to the bedside table in the ward.

Tang Long hadn’t woken up yet, probably due to excessive blood loss.

Tang Mei stayed by his side, helping her brother wipe off the bloodstains.

“President Mei, thank you. If it weren’t for you today, I really don’t know what we would have done.”

Mei Shu placed the medicine on the bedside table, her eyes gently passing over Tang Long’s face as she replied calmly, “It’s nothing. 1’11 leave now. I think when your brother wakes up, he’ll have something to say to you. I won’t disturb you anymore. Tomorrow, you don’t have to come to the company. Take care of your brother first..”
