Biggest Bust

Liao Chun had managed to convince Senator Chang Yan to let him stay at the house and guard the fortress. He said he would manage things from there and the senator—who had been taken by the whirlwind and excitement—agreed without really hearing what Liao Chun was saying.

The senator gathered his men, made a bunch of phone calls, and in less than twenty minutes they were all out of the basement, leaving Liao Chun alone. When he heard the gate swung shut, he took the stairs two at a time.

He knew they wouldn't let Detective An leave the property. He was too loyal to the force for his own good. It was obvious that he was going to go to the police the moment he would went out that door. That was why Liao Chun had chosen to lie.

The detective was right. The senator had gone crazy. From lack of sleep or from not eating enough, or just his determination of catching the Qings—Liao Chun could only shake his head.
