Chapter 604: Chapter 602: Scapegoat
At this mont, Li Jun could no longer stay calm. Watching the woman he liked being tortured like this, even the most patient man couldn’t bear it.
Zhang Yufei acted quickly and decisively; she realized Li Jun was about to speak out. She hurriedly broke free from Xue Kong’s hand, then walked to the front of the staff, pointing to a tall, skinny man, and said, "You, I’ve been tortured like this, yet you’re still hiding. Since you care so little for my safety, I have no reason to protect you or the police station. After all, when dead, it’s just a pile of bones, nothing worth considering."
"Gah?" The tall man was dumbfounded, and so were the people around, especially Li Jun.
However, Li Jun snapped back to reality. They had been briefed at the police station: if one party is discovered, maintain composure at all costs—impulsiveness is the devil, and it might lead to the complete failure of their mission, with no chance to call for backup.
"Haha, I knew it. People are selfish. Facing death, even a policeman will betray the other side." Xue Kong suddenly burst out laughing, continuing, "Soone, arrest that man and take him back for questioning. I don’t believe he won’t confess."
"No, boss, I’m not the undercover. This woman is talking nonsense, please don’t listen to her." The tall man was almost brought to tears, fearing what awaited him next—possibly death.
"Oh? Not you? Tell , who confesses when being pointed out? Should I believe you or soone directly handed over by the police?"
Xue Kong sneered coldly and ignored him further, casually waving his hand, and his n sandwiched the tall man between them. After all, if he’s a cop, he might resist.
"Boss, sob, it’s really not . I’m not the undercover. You’ve got the wrong person. I’ve been working here for two years, never left the Earth Dragon even once, how could I be undercover? Sob, don’t arrest ."
The tall man, paralyzed with fear, sniffled and sobbed, at a loss what to do.
Xue Kong said nothing more. With another wave, several people apprehended the tall man, taking him back to their room, awaiting further action.
As for Zhang Yufei, being a woman, they didn’t lock her in a cell but gave her a separate room, where everything continued as usual.
Hu Fei believed that since she was a female police officer, naturally, the police wouldn’t let her take risks. In this way, keeping her as a hostage would be even more suitable, wouldn’t it?
So, after discussing with Xue Kong, Hu Fei decided not to act against her for now but to keep her for later use as a hostage. He couldn’t believe that, no matter how capable the police were, they wouldn’t leave a fellow officer to die, especially a female officer.
In the end, Zhang Yufei was imprisoned, while the tall man wasn’t so lucky, constantly subjected to severe torture and interrogation, but apart from "I’m wronged, it’s not !" nothing else ca out.
The more it was like this, the more Xue Kong felt this person was the undercover. To do undercover work, one must have the will not to speak no matter how brutal the beatings, and this person had precisely that. It was just bad luck for him.
After returning, Li Jun finally couldn’t resist turning on the receiver. The South Sea City Police Departnt received the distress signal imdiately. Xiaoliang hurriedly reported the situation to Zhao Bing.
At this mont, Zhao Bing was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing constantly, hoping to find a good solution.
These matters, which should have been his headaches, finally happened, catching him sowhat off guard. The Earth Dragon Organization was really troubleso. Now that they had been discovered, the best solution was to go in and rescue them.
As for eliminating the Earth Dragon, that would be another matter; rescuing people was the priority.
"That’s right, Chen Tianlong, in this situation, only asking for his help will do, sigh."
Zhao Bing initially didn’t want to trouble Chen Tianlong, but under these circumstances, he had to call him in. Both Zhang Yufei and Li Jun were in danger, and without prompt rescue, their lives could be at risk.
After a brief monologue, Zhao Bing ultimately decided to call Chen Tianlong.
At the South Sea City Seafood Hotel, Chen Tianlong, Lin Wushuang, and Lu Xiaoyu had just co out after a al, all very satisfied, especially Lin Wushuang. It had been a long ti since she had such a pleasant al with Chen Tianlong; she was really happy.
Only, she knew these beautiful monts were always so short-lived.
Sure enough, Chen Tianlong’s phone rang again, and Chen Tianlong thought it was Shen Yan calling to say hello. However, a closer look at the caller ID made his brows furrow; it was Zhao Bing calling.
On such a major holiday, what did it an for a police director to call him?
Could it be the director was calling to send him New Year greetings?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong quickly answered the call and cheerfully asked, "Happy New Year, Director Zhao, what can I do for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a torrent of words from the other end of the line, causing Chen Tianlong’s eyebrows to furrow. He knew sothing had happened.
"What did you say, you’ve all gone to Yunfu to catch drug lords?" Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, asking incredulously, "Then...has Zhang Yufei been caught by their people?"
"Yes, Zhang Yufei got caught, only Li Jun hasn’t been discovered yet. The specifics, I don’t know much about. It’s just that Li Jun used his signal transmitter to send us a code. After the technicians deciphered it, Xiaoliang told ." Zhao Bing said honestly.
"Ah? Is that so, then... I’ll go there. Send the specific location to my phone and have Xiaoliang book
a ticket, can you?"
Chen Tianlong didn’t know where they were nor Zhang Yufei’s safety, so he was also a bit anxious now.
"Alright, no problem, I’ll make arrangents first, then call you." Zhao Bing didn’t delay further, directly hanging up the phone and assigning tasks.
After Chen Tianlong hung up the phone, Lin Wushuang walked over to him, seeing Chen Tianlong with a sowhat worried expression, and asked, "What’s the matter with Chen Tianlong, did sothing happen?"
"Yes, Zhang Yufei is trapped in a drug cartel, the situation is urgent, I need to go to Yunfu. It happens that it’s already the fifteenth day after the start of spring, and I guess the herbs I need can be harvested. I’ll send the dicines back for trial production when I’m done," Chen Tianlong said. He originally planned on going to Yunfu eventually; now it seed like the ti had co.
"Ah? Did sothing happen to Officer Zhang? Then... are you sure you can handle it if you go? Will it be dangerous?"
For the first ti, Lin Wushuang felt this worried. Even the police were captured, so might Chen Tianlong be going to his doom? Although she knew Chen Tianlong was formidable, this wasn’t a ga; these were drug lords, and there was always the risk of death.
"Young lady, there’s no need to worry. I’m not a child. Trust , I will bring them back safely." Chen Tianlong said firmly.
"Alright, then you be careful."
As a friend, Lin Wushuang couldn’t make too much of a fuss. Thus, she didn’t dwell on it further, and the three quickly headed back to the Lin Family Mansion.
