206 Chapter 206 Arresting Them
After another fifteen minutes, the three men walked out and said, “General, we couldn’t find that person’s whereabouts.”
“Where does the tunnel lead to?”
“It’s a dry well about one mile away from the house.”
“Then expand the scope of the search. That person is the seventh son of the Su family, Su Mingtang.”

“Understood.” The three men responded and went out to look for him with more men.
Meanwhile, Zhou Huaiming brought Qiao Lansheng back to his manor and locked him in the dungeon for interrogation.
Unfortunately, Qiao Lansheng was quite stubborn and did not say anything.
Finally, he had to employ the method discovered by Manager Liu. He applied some sugar to Qiao Lansheng’s wound and threw him onto the grass.
Sure enough, his wound was covered with ants after a short while, and he couldn’t get rid of them no matter how he struggled.
Sure enough, when his men arrived, the advisor was about to escape after kidnapping County Mayor Kong, but he was eventually caught.
As for Su Mingtang, he wasn’t found even after five days.
Later, when Zhou Huaiming went down the tunnel, he found out that there was a secret room in the tunnel with some simple daily necessities. He then knew that Su Mingtang had probably escaped long ago.
Of course, this was a story for the future. But after a night of hard work, Wang Quan, several other public figures, and all of Su Mingtang’s people in the county were arrested.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui and his wife didn’t get to sleep that night either. Zhou Huaiming, who had promised to come over to get the blueprint, did not show up, nor did he come to the couple.
They were afraid that something would happen to Zhou Huaiming, and they would be in danger.
It was not until the following day, when Zhou Huaiming went to the restaurant for breakfast, that Zhou Ying finally heaved a sigh of relief. She made him a bowl of Yang Chun noodles and two poached eggs.
After he finished eating, Zhou Ying asked, “Brother Zhou, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I was busy the whole night and didn’t have time to get the drawings, so I am here to tell you that we’ll go get them this evening.”
“That’s good. There’s no rush for the blueprint.”
“Well, you go ahead and continue your day. I have to go back and take a nap.” After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he got up and stretched before walking out.
