489: Chapter 489 Desperate Zhou Tao 489: Chapter 489 Desperate Zhou Tao “Not good, big brother, the police are coming, a lot of them, we’ve been set up,” a gunman suddenly exclaid in alarm.
Everyone’s eyes instantly widened as they indeed saw a fleet of speedboats racing towards them, the distinctive vessels of the coast guard.
There were as many as twenty of them.
In addition to these smaller boats, there was also a larger police vessel, fully ard, charging in their direction.
Seeing this, the faces of the group all changed color.
“How could the police be here?” The gang leader’s face turned cold as he looked at Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao’s face was also pale, soaked in cold sweat, and his legs were sowhat weak.
He was completely dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded.
How could there be police?
This operation had been seamless.
Tangyu shouldn’t have been able to call the police, right?
And all along the way, they had sentries watching and had detected no sign of police.
Even if he had really called the police, how could the police have found this place?
Moreover, given their appearance, they must have known about this location long ago, otherwise, how could such a large force be deployed and the coastguard be mobilized?
“Why are you looking at ?
I don’t know anything.
Weren’t the plan and route all set by you?
I want to ask you.
Didn’t you say it was foolproof?” Zhou Tao also roared angrily.
“Seeking death.
I’ll shoot you dead with one bullet.
You alone die and think of dragging us brothers down?” one of the gunn glared angrily at Zhou Tao, his gun pointed at Zhou Tao’s head but was slapped away by the gang leader, who scolded, “Right now, we’re all in the sa boat.
Let’s not talk about right and wrong for the ti being, let’s escape this calamity first.
Zhou Shao, take this gun.
You follow us closely later.
Otherwise, we can’t guarantee your safety.”
“Okay, let’s move fast.
You protect , and once we escape, I’ll pay you more,” Zhou Tao imdiately nodded, also scared out of his wits.
“Our brothers always conduct business on trust.
Since we have taken up your job, we will naturally do it well.
Money is not necessary,” the gang leader said.
Zhou Tao also nodded, “I’ve heard that you handle jobs with sincerity and fairness, so that’s why I hired you this ti.”
Without a speedboat, they could only jump onto a small ergency boat and speed toward the shore at full throttle.
There was a chance of survival once they reached the shore, but on the water, death was certain.
“Attention, those ahead, you are surrounded.
Please imdiately drop your weapons and surrender, or we will show no rcy,” a loud voice ca from the loudspeaker.
Of course, the n didn’t obey and sped to the shore at full throttle.
When they reached the shore, a trace of joy appeared on their faces as they dashed toward a dilapidated dock warehouse.
But just then, several police cars suddenly burst forth, and ard police rapidly approached, enveloping them from all directions.
Seeing a large number of police coming their way, the gang instantly despaired.
It was as if there were no escape whether on land or in heaven.
Zhou Tao stood completely stunned, as if frozen in place, with no way out.
“Damn it, I can’t believe I’ve been caught here, it’s totally unacceptable,” the gang leader bit his teeth in frustration.
In his heart, he still had many doubts.
How did the police follow them here, and how did they set up such an elaborate trap without a sound?
There were lookouts on both water and land, so how did they not receive a warning?
How could this have happened?
What puzzled him most was how Tangyu managed to lead the police to them?
“Brothers, let’s fight.
If we get caught by the police, we are as good as dead,” the gang leader shouted and charged toward the police, his gun firing.
A gunshot rang out, and imdiately a gunfight erupted.
Zhou Tao, terrified, squatted down on the ground with his hands over his head.
The coast guard and police force numbered maybe over two hundred, while the gunn were less than ten.
With such an overwhelming imbalance in power, the outco was inevitable.
It didn’t take long before all the criminals were shot dead, leaving only Zhou Tao still squatting there with his head in his hands.
Tangyu, accompanied by Liu Shanshan, followed the coast guard onto the shore, and Song Qingyu walked over to them.
She was the one leading the team this ti.
“Tangyu, Liu Shanshan, are you both okay?” Song Qingyu asked.
“We’re fine.
You arrived just in ti.
A bit later, and it would have been hard to say,” Tangyu said.
A coast guard officer approached, and Song Qingyu nodded to her, “Thanks for your help this ti, Captain Yan.”
Captain Yan smiled and waved her hand, “What’s with the formalities, Captain Song?
We’re all police.
Naturally, we should help each other out.” After saying that, Captain Yan looked at Tangyu with a face full of admiration and respect, “I’ve long heard of Mr.
Tang’s reputation.
The Linshan Middle School case you managed was executed brilliantly, bringing us great satisfaction.
And just now, you’ve demonstrated incredible ability once again.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it.”
Tangyu smiled, “You flatter too much, Captain Yan.
Thank you for your tily assistance this ti.”
“Heh, I just ca to join the excitent and didn’t do much.
Okay, I’ll leave the rest to you, Captain Song.
I’ll be going now,” Captain Yan said laughing.
“Okay, we won’t see you out,” Song Qingyu nodded.
Yan’s squad took the coast guard away, and the situation here was now under control.
A multitude of guns were aid at Zhou Tao, still squatting there.
Looking at Zhou Tao, Tangyu almost wanted to go over and stomp the guy to death.
“Zhou Tao, you’ve got so nerve,” Song Qingyu also yelled fiercely.
Zhou Tao suddenly stood up, raising his hands and imdiately said, “I surrender, don’t shoot.”
“Do you think you can get away with surrendering?
You planned a kidnapping, colluded with criminals, and committed ard violence.
Just these charges are enough to put you behind bars for life.
Now the Zhou Family, they can’t be bothered with you,” Tangyu said.
Zhou Tao looked at Tangyu with an ashen face, “That’s not your concern.”
Tangyu walked toward Zhou Tao, who watched him warily, retreating two steps instinctively and defensively aid his gun at Tangyu, exclaiming, “What are you doing?
What do you want to do?”
Tangyu said, “You’re pointing a gun at , I can charge you with ard violence now.”
That statent exploded in Zhou Tao’s mind like thunder or as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core and causing him to shudder with fear.
He imdiately put away his gun.
He thought about throwing it away, but it felt unsafe to do so, thus a voice inside him advised against tossing it.
He looked at the police, who surrounded him tightly, their guns aid at him—he even thought about suicide.
This ti, he truly had no way out; he had driven himself into a dead end.
In the Zhou Family, he no longer held any power, now that his second uncle was in charge.
If he were to end up in the police station, as Tangyu said, the Zhou Family would surely not bother to get him out.
Besides, with such serious cris, it was clear what would happen to Zhou Tao if the Zhou Family didn’t intervene—a life sentence was likely, effectively ruining his life.
He believed Tangyu had the influence to persuade the judge to give him a harsh sentence.
So Zhou Tao was extrely confused, his thoughts in complete disarray, unsure of what to do.
He had lost, utterly and completely, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Having expended so much effort and paid such a high price, he thought his plan had been flawless.
Yet, he had ended up with such a fate.
Zhou Tao felt utterly defeated, losing all the confidence he should’ve had.
If he could choose again now, he would rather not seek this revenge.
Tangyu was indeed an insurmountable mountain, impossible to defeat.
Zhou Tao was completely deflated.
However, the rage in his heart turned into extre unwillingness; he really wanted to kill soone in his anger.
“What do you want to do?” Zhou Tao asked, his voice trembling a bit.
The corners of Tangyu’s mouth raised slightly, revealing a sinister smile, “What do I want to do?
You dare to use a woman by my side to threaten , set this kind of trap to harm , what do you think I want to do?
Do you really think I would just hand you over to the police for easy processing?
Wouldn’t that be letting you off too lightly?”
Hearing Tangyu’s words, Zhou Tao felt the rising tides of fear within him.
He believed in Tangyu’s thods and knew Tangyu dared act against him, even to kill.
Once Tangyu was truly infuriated, he was like the Grim Reaper; Zhou Tao had every reason to be scared.
“With so many cops here, what could you possibly do?
Would you dare to make a move?” Zhou Tao said.
Tangyu looked around, especially glancing back at Song Qingyu, who, after looking at Tangyu, said, “I’ll turn a blind eye for one minute.”
“And now?” Tangyu turned back, his expression mockingly cruel as he watched Zhou Tao, as though he were playing a ga of cat and mouse.
Zhou Tao was stunned, finding it ridiculous—the squad leader Song had an unclear relationship with Tangyu.
How could the cops possibly be on his side at a ti like this?
“You brandished your gun and acted violently.
I’m rely defending myself.
If I incapacitate you now, there’d be no one to bla , right?
The law would side with , and as for you, you’d just have to swallow it.
Now tell , what wouldn’t I dare?” Tangyu’s smile beca even more taunting.
Zhou Tao’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
Watching Tangyu step closer, he felt like he was seeing the god of death approaching.
Deep down, he was terrified of Tangyu but couldn’t stand being humiliated by him, clinging at least to so shred of dignity.
Zhou Tao’s eyes flickered with complexity as he bit down hard on his teeth, his hand holding the gun sweating profusely.
He could only desperately grip the gun tighter.
Holding a gun, he sohow felt safer, like there was so assurance.
“Just now, you talked about crippling .
I’ve always lived by the principle of repaying what is owed.
Since you said you want to cripple , I should act first,” Tangyu said, then reached toward Zhou Tao to grab him.
Zhou Tao, pushed to the brink, raised the gun in a frenzy and took Tangyu hostage, aiming the gun at Tangyu’s head.
His action imdiately caused the surrounding police to aim their guns at him.
After calming down, Zhou Tao was sowhat bewildered; why had he impulsively done such a thing?
Now, there was no chance of redemption.
Even if he surrendered now, the charges would still be severe.
Zhou Tao had reached a dead end.
Gritting his teeth, he decided it was all or nothing—he had no escape left.
The Tangyu being held hostage, however, showed not the slightest hint of panic; instead, he revealed a barely perceptible sinister smile.
