Li Lingshan wanted to catch him in the act.
But Song Ning and the others could not let things spiral out of control.
The best outcome would be to get the evidence and rescue the victims.
Timing was crucial.
While Song Ning attended the gathering, her two bodyguards had already slipped into the Qian Family's villa under cover of darkness, following the address Li Lingshan had provided.
Having Chen Liang and Han Xiao handle a cheating sting like this was a waste of their talents.
They had not waited long outside the Qian Family's villa before a car arrived.
Sure enough, a visibly agitated man brought two teenage boys out of the car.
The boys' hands were behind their backs, wrapped in clothing.
They were clearly tied up.
Not long after the three went inside, a light came on in a room on the second floor.
Villas in this era had neither surveillance cameras nor infrared sensors.
The two bodyguards scaled the perimeter wall with ease.
Chen Liang kept watch below while Han Xiao easily climbed up to a second-floor window.
Before long, Han Xiao signaled to Chen Liang.
Chen Liang quickly set fire to a rubbish bin at the corner of the villa.
Flammable materials had been placed inside beforehand, and flames and thick smoke rose as soon as it was lit.
Of course, from that angle, the people in the villa's rooms could not see it.
The servant stationed outside in advance saw the flames and hurried inside to alert everyone.
When the people inside heard something had happened, they all rushed out to see what was going on.
They saw thick smoke rising from a villa on the other side.
Someone said to Li Lingshan, "A Shan! Isn't your in-laws' villa over there? Could something have happened?"
