Mr. Liang grabbed Zhu Xingxing’s hair and violently tossed her to the side. Zhu Xingxing lost her balance and crashed to the ground, while he swiftly grabbed Zhou Ning’s collar, aiming the muzzle of his gun at Zhou Ning’s temple.
At this moment, Mr. Liang smiled, his nicotine-stained teeth showing as he turned his hand over. He stepped up one stair, enabling him to trap Zhou Ning’s neck with his elbow. Bringing his mouth close to Zhou Ning’s ear, he whispered secretively:
"You’re wrong, I didn’t want to negotiate. I just wanted to die with you before my death. After all, you’ve been scraping by for nineteen years. If it weren’t for An Liwei muddying the waters then, you wouldn’t have been rescued, and you wouldn’t have come back nineteen years later with these people to investigate your father’s case.
So, today everyone should return to their rightful places. I’ll take you to meet your father; it’s the last bit of care I can show an old friend. I’m just not sure where you’ve detained the others, but rest assured, I’ve prepared quite thoroughly. Look at this little gadget; it can level this place to the ground. Time to say goodbye, kid!"
As he spoke, in the hand that Mr. Liang used to grasp Zhou Ning’s neck, a small remote control with a single button appeared. Without hesitation, Mr. Liang pressed it.
There was no explosion as one would expect. There was no disturbance in the rear yard of the Public Security Bureau at all. Startled, Mr. Liang paused, and at that moment, Zhu Xingxing, whom he’d just thrown off, howled and raised a scalpel to charge at him.
Mr. Liang instinctively tried to turn the gun, but then a gunshot rang out, and his right hand, holding the gun, was shot.
The pistol flew out of his grasp. Zhou Ning raised his hands and spun around, using both arms and his handcuffs to strangle Mr. Liang’s neck. He quickly took several steps back as Zhu Xingxing, who was now in front of him, slipped and stabbed the scalpel into Mr. Liang’s ankle.
"Ah!"
With a terrible cry, Mr. Liang fell to the ground. Mr. Zhao rushed over, picked Zhu Xingxing up, and Xu Dayuan and the others moved forward, controlling Mr. Liang. Fang Mu ran over to unlock Zhou Ning’s handcuffs.
Mr. Liang screamed, fixating his gaze on the remote control on the stairs. Zhou Ning walked over and picked up the remote control. freёwebnovel.com
"Surprised, aren’t you? You were so well-prepared and yet your detonator failed. Are you frustrated? Don’t worry, I can tell you that it wasn’t your detonation device that malfunctioned, but that we’d already jammed the surrounding signals.
How should I put it? Although you were secretly trained over twenty years ago, learning to use some high-end devices and equipment, and even kept updating them later, you took it for granted. Do you think standing on a rock makes you the king of the mountain?
But look at yourself. You spend most of your days hiding your identity, living in a place as closed off as Ganzhou. Do you have any idea to what extent Hua Country’s technology has developed over twenty years?
A computer expert on our team could easily sort out everything you had planned. So don’t flatter yourself, you’re just a rat gasping for air in the sewers, nothing but a rat!"
Mr. Liang shook his head, the pain in his wrist and leg unable to calm his disbelief. He couldn’t believe his meticulous plan had failed—how had he been captured?
"Impossible!"
Xu Dayuan approached with a dark expression, glancing at the ambulance dealing with the hunter. freёwebnovel.com
"Villains die from talking too much. You know that, right! Bai Qishan wasn’t kept in the detention room at all. With your intelligence, scheming something like this? Think about how you’re going to explain yourself. I’ll also tell you, you won’t die, and Bai Qishan won’t die either. Right, bring them in," he ordered.
With a swoosh, a crowd surged forward, lifting Mr. Liang from the ground.
Mr. Liang, undeterred, threw back his head and laughed loudly.
"Heh, what if you’ve caught me? The hunter’s son is among you. It doesn’t matter if a few of us old guys get caught; he’s still here, he’ll continue what we’ve started, and sooner or later someone will contact him. That’s his fate. Start your internal investigation, but don’t think you’re so clean—hahahaha!"
Mr. Zhao held his nose and looked Mr. Liang up and down.
"Stinks to high heaven. Change all his clothes, inside and out, to prevent him from hiding anything—especially his mouth. Brush it out; living in the sewers for so long, his mouth reeks of it. Peng Shinian, check his teeth, clear out any poison teeth."
Xu Dayuan let out a sigh, turning to Fang Dongsheng, considering Director Huang and Director Xing had vanished.
"How are the casualties?"
Fang Dongsheng pursed his lips tightly.
"One dead, seven injured. The cost is fairly low. Director Xu, what shall we do next?"
Xu Dayuan gestured dismissively.
"Evacuate. Everyone inside the Public Security Bureau, get out. Mr. Qu only jammed the signals, but the explosive devices planted by Mr. Liang—let’s call him hyena now—should still be there. With reinforcements from all over in place, let’s bring in the explosives experts. Leave people to guard both side doors, and evacuate the personnel within a five-kilometer radius."
Mr. Zhao, holding Zhu Xingxing, who was trembling all over with blood on his hands, approached Xu Dayuan with a darker expression.
"Who gave you the courage to charge in with just a scalpel? What if something went wrong?"
Zhu Xingxing pouted as tears streamed down his face. Mr. Zhao grew anxious.
"Leader, shall we also evacuate now?"
Xu Dayuan nodded.
"Everyone head to the Ganzhou City Hotel across the street. I’ve already sent someone to clear out the Qinghui Building at the back."
Mr. Zhao blinked and shoved Zhu Xingxing away, getting close to Xu Dayuan.
