DEATH

CHAPTER 701 - PHAGOCYTOSIS

F * ck, I started to feel bad after hearing this. It wasn't good to refuse your face by staying with you last night. Do you really think that I like you, an old woman? But this is a woman, the most practical animal in the world. When she needs you, you are a treasure. When she doesn't need you, she will treat you like a pile of shit and ask you to wipe your tears and leave in silence. I pretended to be embarrassed. All right, I said.

Wang Min heaved a sigh of relief. Her serious expression became gentle. She pointed to the breakfast on the table and said, Quickly go eat something. We'll check out after we finish eating.

I finished my cup of tea and sat down at the kitchen table. Breakfast was relatively simple: porridge, pickled vegetables, and two more cages of Soup Dumplings. I drank a mouthful of porridge, ate a steamed bun and turned around to ask, Why aren't you eating?

Wang Min said, I feel like it's not enough. I got up at six o'clock and went for a walk outside. I went to the restaurant to eat breakfast before returning.

I smiled and asked, Going to bed early and getting up early to exercise is also a secret method for you to protect your face, right?

Wang Min smiled faintly, unsure of whether she could say anything. She suddenly said, Just now, when we were having breakfast in the dining hall, there were a few people sitting at the table next door. Listening to them chatting seemed to be about you. It seems like you are quite famous in the sea. There are people who know you everywhere."

I hastily asked, What did they say about me? What kind of people are they?

Wang Min thought for a moment, shook her head and said, It's a few men. They all look pretty gentle, but it doesn't feel like they work in a trap. As for what they said, I didn't quite catch it. I only heard them mention your name while they were chatting.

Could it be that the figure I saw last night was really 'Fire Control'? Could that Boss Liu be with him? I was a little upset at the thought that I really should have gone to the box last night to see what was going on.

I threw down my bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said to Wang Min, Please wait for a moment, I'll go to the cafeteria to take a look.

Don't go, said Wang. When I came out of the restaurant after breakfast, they had already driven away from the resort. Weird, why do you say wind is rain, do you have to be so excited?

F * ck, I let them slip away again. I said to Wang Min, These people might be involved in a case. I've been looking for them everywhere for the past two days.

Oh? Wang Min looked at me curiously and said, You, a treasurer, can solve a case?

I couldn't explain it to her in a word or two, so I sat down with a wry smile and went back to my breakfast. After eating a few buns, he said, Forget it. Let's go back after breakfast.

After eating breakfast, we drank tea for a while, then left the villa to check out in the lobby. After checking out of the hotel, I drove Wang Min out of the resort.

On the way back, Wang Min asked again about what happened earlier. I briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to her. Of course, I hid some of the details that weren't too important to outsiders for the time being. Wang Min listened with rapt attention. After listening to my introduction, she looked at me with a strange expression.

I said, This is how it is, these people must have come to Jianghai for a big scheme. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in the future.

Wang Min said, I really didn't realize that you're a lone hero.

I smiled and said, What lone hero? I was forced to do this. If I have to look for you, I won't be able to hide, I can only face the difficulties head-on.

Wang Min sighed and said, Now I'm starting to believe that you're destined to have an extraordinary life. You're probably one of those people that became a legend.

As we entered Jianghai, I drove to a spot near Century's Union and found a place to park. Wang Min sat in the front passenger seat and smiled at me while pursing her lips. Thank you for your hospitality last night. We will contact each other again when we have time.

Sitting in the car, I smiled and said, You're welcome. Have a good weekend.

Wang Min said, If it's a matter of work, you can call Liu Yan first. I'll go back to the city committee office and tell them that Liu Yan will be with me from next Monday. You can let her know about this first and let her prepare. "

This is probably a shot to give a sweet date, Wang Min has decided to sell me this favor. I nodded and said, Okay, I'll give Liu Yan a call later.

Wang Min said, Well, by the way, you need to submit an application to me as soon as possible, along with your resume. During this period of time, you should be preparing. The organization department will organize an investigation team and I will personally lead them to various organs in the city to investigate and select the candidate for vice mayor."

To organize an inspection team meant that the deputy mayor was in a very competitive mood. I said, Are there a lot of candidates?

Wang Min said, Yes, there are a lot of them. The scope of this investigation is very wide. Anyone who has held a post at the official level for more than three years is eligible to apply.

I said, I'm qualified for that, but I guess I'm the most junior.

Wang Min said, You don't have to think too much about it. Just do your own thing. This time's selection, regardless of seniority, is only about ability. Moreover, you are inclined to select young and strong cadres. Your age, on the other hand, is actually an advantage.

I nodded. Alright, I'll go back and prepare.

Wang Min unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. She stood in front of the door and said, I'm leaving, it's a good weekend.

After Wang Min left, I looked at the time. It was now 9: 30 in the morning. I called Peng Qiang and had him accompany me to the prison to interrogate the Solitary Eagle brothers. Peng Qiang did not say much, he only said that he would meet her at the First Prison in half an hour. I hung up and started for First Prison.

When I reached the prison gates, I stopped the car and waited. A few minutes later, Peng Qiang drove a police car to the entrance of the prison. He got out of the car and the armed guard at the gate explained the situation. The armed guard opened the door and let us through.

The Deputy Warden of the First Prison was on duty. He led Peng Qiang and me to the interrogation room and ordered us to be served two cups of tea. Peng Qiang said: Director Xiao should have already told you about this. We should be able to meet with Fang Xiao now.

Suddenly, the Deputy Warden said with a troubled expression, If you had come to ask for questioning last night, there would have been no problem, but I'm afraid it won't be possible today.

Peng Qiang's face darkened as he hurriedly asked, Why? What happened?

In the early hours of this morning, Fang Xiao took advantage of the fact that the guard had accidentally swallowed a nail and was rolling on the ground in pain. He had already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment that night, the Deputy Warden said.

Swallowing nails? What was Fang Xiao trying to do? An ominous premonition flashed through my mind.

Peng Qiang was also shocked. He stood up and asked, Which hospital will you be sent to? When was it delivered? "

The Deputy Warden said, The military police hospital was delivered an hour before you arrived.

Peng Qiang shouted, Not good, Fang Xiao wants to escape.

The Deputy Warden's face turned ugly, No way, he did swallow the nail. How could he escape under the watchful eyes of a few guards?

This was about the same as what I had expected. I hastily stood up and asked, Warden, how many people did you send to rescue Fang Xiao? Did you take the necessary safety measures?

The Deputy Warden said, Because it all happened so suddenly, I urgently asked the Warden to send two guards and two armed policemen to escort him to the hospital. He's also wearing anklets and handcuffs, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I sneered, Don't tell me you don't know Fang Xiao's background? He's a retired Battalion Commander of the Special Forces, and has been in the Public Security Bureau for so many years. If he wants to escape, can something like that stop him?"

The Deputy Warden broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, So, so what do we do now?

Peng Qiang said: Call the prison warden right away and ask him about the situation there. I'm going to the prison right now to take a look.

The Deputy Warden immediately went to the landline and dialed the cell phone that was used to send Fang Xiao to the hospital. After the call went through, he immediately asked about the situation. After finding out that Fang Xiao was still in the operation room, he let out a long sigh, hung up the phone, and smiled as if a burden had been lifted off his mind, I told you it's nothing. He's still in surgery right now.

Peng Qiang's expression was still as grim as ever. He thought for a moment before replying, No, I must personally go and take a look. I absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen.

I hastily stood up and said, I'll go with you. We'll set off immediately.

CHAPTER 702 - WHOLE CITY SEARCH AND ARREST

The Deputy Warden said incredulously, It's not that serious. Aren't you a little too nervous?

I sneered, What's not so serious? A few months ago, Li Yu was in the jail pretending to be sick when a group of unknown criminals took her away. This time, it's very possible that they did the same thing. If Fang Xiao really took the opportunity to escape this time, would you be able to bear the responsibility? "

The Deputy Warden's face turned serious again. He thought for a moment and said, In that case, I'll send two guards with you. Just in case …

When Peng Qiang and I arrived at the entrance of the hospital operating room, two prison guards and two armed police soldiers who escorted Fang Xiao to the hospital were still waiting outside the operating room for the operation to end.

One of the prison guards recognized Peng Qiang and stood up when he saw Peng Qiang and two of my colleagues come over. Bureau Chief Peng, why are you here?

Peng Qiang retorted, Why is the operation not over yet? How long has it been going on?

The guard looked at his watch and said, Almost two hours.

Peng Qiang had a grave expression on his face as he said doubtfully, Strange, why did a small operation go on for such a long time? According to the rules, there should be guards inside the operation room even if the felons are being operated on. Why are the four of you waiting outside?

The guard said, This was requested by the doctor. He said we were not sterilized and could not enter the operating room as we please.

Peng Qiang said, Nonsense, if you don't disinfect the poison, you can go in later. Knock on the door, call out a doctor and ask him how the operation is progressing.

The guard walked to the door of the operation room, knocked on the door, and said loudly, Doctor, doctor, how long will it take for the operation to end?

There was no answer from the operating room for a long time. The guard knocked on the door again and shouted a few times. However, there was still no reply from inside. Peng Qiang shouted, Not good, there's a situation. He pulled out a gun from his waist, turned on the safety, and dashed to the door of the operation room. He fiercely pushed the door open and rolled into the operating room.

As if we were facing a great enemy, I reached behind my back and pulled out a throwing knife. The other guards and soldiers also followed Peng Qiang into the operation room with their guns.

When we rushed into the operating room, however, all we saw was that the operating room was empty. Fang Xiao, who was supposed to be undergoing surgery, was nowhere to be seen. A main surgeon and an intern were lying on the floor, while another nurse was half-lying on the bed. There were no injuries on the three of them, but both of them were in a deep coma.

What was going on? Where did Fang Xiao go? Peng Qiang holstered his gun, walked to the window and checked. The window was still tightly shut, and there was no sign of it being opened. Furthermore, the operation room was located on the eighth floor, so it was impossible for anyone to leave without anyone noticing.

The prison guard outside the operation room turned pale with fright and shouted with a panicked face, This … Where the hell are they?"

I had a fit of anger in my heart. Fuck, I was just about to promote Fang Xiao, but this guy ran away. Is this a coincidence? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Someone must have been worried that Fang Xiao would leak something and rescue him before us.

I angrily asked the guard, We were just about to ask you, what do you think happened? The four of them stood guard outside armed with weapons, and they actually let the felons escape without a trace under your noses. They even had the nerve to ask what's going on, what the hell are you guys doing?

The prison guard was so angry that his face turned red. He said in a flustered and exasperated tone, Did you see a ghost? F * cking saw a ghost!

Peng Qiang walked over and asked with a dark expression, Did anyone enter or leave the operation room during the operation?

The guard recalled and suddenly remembered something. No one came in. There were four people who entered the operation room, and there was a male nurse. How come that person is missing?

Peng Qiang quickly asked, Did he leave midway?

A soldier standing guard outside the operation room said, Yes, about half an hour ago, when Officer Liu went to the toilet, two men wearing white gowns and masks walked out of the operation room. I also asked them about the progress of the operation. They claimed to be the surgeon's assistant, but the operation was not going well. The patient had lost too much blood and needed to go to the blood bank to extract the blood. I also asked them one more time, why would they want two people to go together when they only need one person to extract their blood.

Peng Qiang asked, Then what did they say?

The soldier replied, They said that the other one wanted to consult the dean, and I didn't understand his jargon, so I let him pass.

Officer Liu, who was escorting Fang Xiao to save the life, scolded, You were really careless. Why didn't you report such an important situation to me? This is a grave dereliction of duty!

I snappily replied, Stop shouting and pushing away the responsibility. You're the person in charge of the rescue team. If we're talking about dereliction of duty, it's because you were the one who missed it.

Peng Qiang lowered his head to ponder for a moment before saying seriously, It looks like they planned this long ago. The hospital has placed someone in charge of supporting the patient. One of the people who entered the operation room must be one of them. It was this person who helped Fang Xiao release the handcuffs and ankles, then knocked them out while the doctors and nurses weren't expecting it. Finally, he helped Fang Xiao change into the nurse's clothes and mask and casually left under the guard's nose.

So that's how it is, Officer Liu muttered, Then what do we do now? Director Peng, you have to help me, or I'm done for this time. You don't know, right now is the organization's investigation period to promote me. After such a big thing happened, I can't even say what I'm going to say."

Peng Qiang said: Your prison is the direct unit of the Judicial Bureau. I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Officer Liu said with a bitter face, I know that, but you have to prove it in front of our Chief Justice that I definitely didn't neglect my duty. I really didn't expect these people to be so cunning that even the hospital's internal department would be able to accommodate them.

Peng Qiang took out his phone and said, This is all a story for the future. Right now, the main issue is not to hold anyone accountable. We have to capture Fang Xiao as soon as possible. "He was a felon who had been sentenced to death in a serious crime. After breaking out of the prison, he would be unscrupulous and become a hidden time bomb. His social hazards were great, and he had to be apprehended in the shortest time possible.

Officer Liu quickly agreed, Right, right, right. We have to capture him in time.

Peng Qiang began to call Xiao Yuanshan's cell phone, reporting the situation to him. Finally, he said, Chief Xiao, Fang Xiao is too dangerous, I suggest that we immediately send out a arrest warrant and conduct a great search around the city, using all our strength to capture him as soon as possible.

Xiao Yuanshan probably agreed to Peng Qiang's suggestion, giving a few more instructions before hanging up. Peng Qiang kept his phone and turned to Officer Liu, Fang Xiao's brother, Fang Wu, is also in your First Prison. How is he?

Officer Liu said: Fang Wu's performance during his sentence was still considered normal. It's just that he doesn't like to talk much and likes to be left alone.

Peng Qiang said: Go back to the prison and explain the situation to your superiors. In addition, we must guard Fang Wu well and take strict measures to prevent such accidents from happening again."

Officer Liu nodded his head repeatedly, saying respectfully, Alright, alright, I will immediately rush back to report the situation and monitor Fang Wu closely. With a sudden change in topic, Officer Liu turned to Peng Qiang and me with a bitter face, Bureau Chief Peng, Bureau Chief Tang, I hope that you two Directors can help me speak up for me. Whether or not I can successfully pass the inspection period will depend entirely on you two.

At that moment, the head of the military police hospital arrived after hearing the news. He looked at the heavily unconscious doctor and the doctor in shock before asking loudly, What … what happened? What happened?

CHAPTER 703 - UNINVITED GUEST

Peng Qiang gave a brief summary of the situation to the dean before asking, President, you were the one who arranged this operation, right? The main surgeon, an intern, and two nurses. The male nurse is missing right now, so please give us a brief overview of his condition.

The dean said: That nurse just recently came to our hospital to see me. He was recommended to me by the hospital's orthopedic director, and he was the one who asked to participate in this operation. Since the hospital was busy today, I arranged for him to participate in this operation. However, I'm not too sure about his background. All I know is that he's a student of Binhe Medical School. His name is Fang Wen."

Fang Wen? Hearing this name, Peng Qiang and I paled. Could it be that he is also Fang Xiao's younger brother?

Peng Qiang said, Looks like this Fang Wen is very suspicious. If we want to solve Fang Xiao's escape case, we have to start with Fang Wen. Principal, immediately get someone to give me Fang Wen's information. Also, get the orthopedic director who recommended Fang Wen to come to the hospital to look for me at the Southern City sub-bureau. I need to learn some details about Fang Wen from him.

The dean wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised everything. At this moment, the doctors and nurses who were unconscious woke up one after another. The situation they were in was almost the same as Peng Qiang's analysis.

When I left the hospital, I looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock, so it was time for dinner. I turned to Peng Qiang, Director Peng, what should we do next? We should eat something and immediately return to the First Prison to interrogate Fang Wu. Maybe we can get some information from him."

Peng Qiang said: I have to rush back to the city police station at noon and study with Director Xiao the plan to capture Fang Xiao. So, you should go find a place to eat first, and then we can go to the First Prison, Fang Wu, and interrogate him at three o'clock in the afternoon."

I thought that capturing Fang Xiao was the most urgent matter, so I had to delay the arraignment a bit. I said to Peng Qiang, Alright then. We'll meet up at the First Prison at two in the afternoon. If you really can't come in person, you can send a good detective to the trial with me. "

Peng Qiang put on his police cap, nodded and said, Alright then, let's do it like this. I'll go to the city police station to report to Commissioner Xiao. Fang Xiao is a dangerous person. This time, it is very possible that he would go all out for revenge. Back then, you were the one who lured him out and it is very likely that you are also the main character. You must be careful."

This brought me back to reality, and I hastily added, Director Peng, the river is getting more and more unstable. You have to prepare a gun for me, just in case I run into these people who didn't have a gun to protect themselves with.

Peng Qiang thought about it and said, I'll bring you a gun this afternoon and give you fifty rounds of bullets. How about that?

I immediately smiled and said, Of course it's good. Don't worry, I've already informed Xiao Yuanshan about this matter. His intention is to turn a blind eye and not to blame you.

Peng Qiang smiled. He turned around and walked into the police car. Then, he quickly drove away. I went back to the car, wondering where I could go for lunch, and if I could call Li Hong out for a chat. Just as he took out his cell phone, it suddenly rang. When he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Liu Yan.

She was probably pursuing the matter of him becoming Wang Min's secretary. This woman was definitely deeply concerned about him. I picked up the phone, smiled and said, Hello, Chief Liu. I was just about to report to you when you called.

Liu Yan smiled and said, Don't make me be so snobbish. I just want to ask if you ate. If you didn't, then elder sister will treat you to a delicious meal.

I said, Sister Liu is too polite. I've already eaten. Wang Min has agreed to let you be her secretary of life. You will be formally notified by the Municipal Committee office on Monday. However, we must first try it for three months. As for how we are qualified, we will officially announce it after three months.

Really? I could feel that Liu Yan, who was on the other end of the phone, was so excited that he almost jumped up in joy. His face was already smiling like a peony flower as Liu Yan happily said, Thank you so much, Chief Tang. How about I set a big table for dinner tonight and thank you well.

I am also very happy in my heart, after all, can bring happiness to others can also be infected by happiness. I smiled and said, There's no need to treat me to a meal. I've been busy these days and don't know when I'll be free.

Liu Yan said, That won't do. I must properly invite you once. To me, this is an opportunity to change my fate. This opportunity is something that you've fought for me for. Not giving you a proper thank you is too much.

I said, If you put it that way, it would be unkind of me to say no. Well, it won't be too late to invite me when the city council official announces it. Prepare well in the next two days. You'd better ask some of your colleagues who are secretaries for the Leader to learn from. Being a secretary is a tough job, and there are a lot of things you need to learn. After all, there is a difference in character between your previous work and yours.

You reminded me correctly, Liu Yan was still unable to conceal his excitement as he said, I need to prepare properly and find some seniors to learn from.

I said, Alright then. Let's leave it at this for now. I still have some matters to attend to so we can contact each other another day.

After hanging up on Liu Yan, I dialed Li Hong's cell phone. Li Hong answered the phone and said, Yo, Young Master Tang finally misses me. It's such an honor.

What, I said, laughing, don't be so sarcastic. You make yourself look like an outsider.

Li Hong said, Am I not an outsider?

Li Hong was blaming me for not having proposed to her yet, but I was having trouble saying so so I could only change the topic and say, You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's have lunch together, I have something that I want to ask for your opinion on.

What is it? Li Hong asked, You're being so serious, could it be that Han Bozhen found someone else to harm you?

I said, It's quite serious. Fang Xiao of the Solitary Eagle brothers escaped from prison this morning. This guy is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace from now on.

Li Hong quickly asked, What exactly happened? I remember that his Solitary Falcon had already been sentenced to a suspended death, so how could he escape from the prison so easily?

I said, I can't explain it in one or two words. You can come out first. I'll wait for you at Chef Zheng's Restaurant. We'll talk after we meet.

Li Hong lightly replied and then hung up. I looked at the time and it was already 12 o'clock. I immediately started the car and headed towards the Chef Zheng restaurant.

When I got to the Chef Zheng restaurant, I asked for a private room, lit a cigarette, and smoked two cigarettes. The waiter opened the door and entered, respectfully saying, Bureau Chief Tang, there is someone that wants to see you.

I looked at the waiter suspiciously and asked, Who is it?

The waiter said, It's a man. He looks quite impressive. He came by around 11 p.m. and sat down in the hall to ask for you. I said that Bureau Chief Tang only occasionally comes here, and he said that it's okay, he can wait, but I didn't expect you to actually come.

I thought about it. What was the meaning of this person coming here to find me?

The waiter saw that I didn't say anything, so he cautiously said, How about I reply him and let him go?

I was a little curious about this unexpected guest and wanted to see what tricks he could play. Since he's here, let him in, I said.

CHAPTER 704 - TURN ENEMY INTO FRIEND

The waiter answered and asked me what I wanted to eat. He immediately arranged for the kitchen to be prepared. I asked for a few of the things I usually liked to eat, and the waiter memorized the menu, then ducked out of the way.

I waited in the room for a few minutes, then the door opened and a burly man in a white casual suit appeared in the doorway. He wore a pair of gentle glasses that made him look familiar. He looked at me from the doorway with a strange smile.

I thought the guy looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was. Who are you? I asked.

A man walked in and sat in front of me with a smile: Young Master Tang is really forgetful. It's only been a few months and you don't remember me.

I was extremely disgusted with this kind of mysterious method. I said grumpily, Don't try this in front of me. Who are you? If you don't want to tell me, then I'll have to invite you out.

The man said, I haven't seen Young Master Tang for a few months, but his temper hasn't changed. This kind of straightforward temperament is to my liking. Do you still remember me? My name is Wu Jing, I don't know if Young Master Tang has any impression of me?

The Heavenly Gou gambling den? Wu Jing? Looking at the bespectacled Sven Man before me, I suddenly remember. This fellow is indeed Wu Jing. Didn't he get convicted? How did he get released so quickly? [Not only that, he actually dared to show off in front of me. What is he trying to do?]

I coldly laughed and asked, Did you come specially to find me today to seek revenge or to demonstrate your might to me?

Wu Jing waved his hand and said, I definitely didn't mean it that way. Young Master Tang, please don't misunderstand.

Then why did you come this time? I asked with a still cold expression, Don't tell me you think that the time at the Heavenly Gou gambling den wasn't bad enough and specially came to ask me to give you another beating?

Wu Jing's face squeezed out an awkward smile as he awkwardly said: Young Master Tang sure knows how to joke around. I came here specifically to apologize to you. I hope that you can remember this lowly person and give me a chance to turn this enemy into a friend and make a friend.

Become friends with an enemy? How could this sound so new? I stared at Wu Jing's face, only to find that his eyes were filled with sincerity. If he meant to make friends with me, it would be a good thing. But I didn't dare to be careless. My mind was racing.

Wu Jing said sincerely: Young Master Tang may doubt my sincerity, this is also normal. To tell you the truth, I am a businessman. I put everything on the right side and place the word in the middle. Whoever brings me the most benefits will be my friend, and whoever harms my interests will be my enemy."

I coldly smiled and said, I remember that your boss is Dong Wenbin, the boss of Tianqing Group. Dong Wenbin is very rich, even though Tang Da Tian had retreated to the second tier, he didn't fall. You have such a boss, why are you still looking for me?

Wu Jing sighed. With a look of hatred, he gritted his teeth and said, "You might not know this, but after I went to prison, Dong Wenbin did not care about my life or death. I've seen Dong Wenbin clearly. When he needed you, he would order you around like a dog. When he doesn't need you, he wouldn't even look at you.

I coldly laughed, If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it. However, it's not too late to regret it now.

Wu Jing said, Yeah. Although the Tianqing Conglomerate is still the boss of the Riverside Real Estate right now, I estimate that it is not far from its demise. And I also know that your family's old man will definitely not let Tang Da Tian go. It's just a matter of time before Tang Da Tian falls.

Ever since Tang Da Tian had retreated to the second tier, the Tianqing Corporation had been under the pincer attack of Third Uncle Heng An Group and the other real estate companies in Binhe City.

I said, You see it clearly, but the more you know, the worse it is for you. Aren't you afraid that Dong Wenbin will kill you and silence you?

Wu Jing sneered, He's too busy to take care of himself, how can he care about a small role like me? Young Master Tang, I previously served in the Tianqing Group and Dong Wenbin also gave me control of the Heavenly Gou gambling house. I am very clear on many of the inside information of Tianqing. If you have anything that you need brother for, feel free to speak out."

Was this a gesture of goodwill? But what kind of intentions were hidden behind this? I looked suspiciously at Wu Jing. His small eyes behind his gentle gold-rimmed glasses were flickering. With a single glance, I could tell that he was a cunning old martial artist. He would still have to be more careful when dealing with such old foxes.

I lightly said, You still haven't told me why you've come to find me.

Wu Jing smiled and said, I have already expressed my attitude. I am here to apologize to you. I hope you can let bygones be bygones and let us become friends.

Make friends? I coldly smiled and said, If you don't dare to reveal your trump card, I don't think you dare to make friends with someone like you. If I wasn't lucky last time at the Heavenly Gou gambling house, the tiger would already be smelly in the basement. I was also locked in the prison and became friends with the mountain hawk and eagle brothers."

It was really a misunderstanding that time, Wu Jing explained. I also lived a long life, it's really …

Just as I said that, Li Hong pushed open the door of the bag and walked in. She looked at Wu Jing curiously, then looked at me and asked: Is this your friend? Why didn't I hear you say that you had friends on the phone?

I curled my lips and said, I can't talk about friends, but I do know old acquaintances. Come and take a seat, I've already ordered."

I indifferently said, Then I won't be sending you off. If there's nothing else, you shouldn't come and disturb me.

Wu Jing was not angry. He smiled and said: I believe that in the future, there will be few places that you can use me. Goodbye.

After Wu Jing left, Li Hong glanced at the door and asked with a puzzled expression, Who is this person and what is he for?

I said, It was Wu Jing from the Heavenly Gou gambling den. Last time, the tiger almost died in his hands.

So it's him. Li Hong asked in surprise, Then why did he look for you?

I shook my head and said, I don't know. He said he wanted to become friends with his enemy, but I don't think it's that simple. Sigh, these past two days have been filled with many strange occurrences, and they all came to visit us on their own accord."

Li Hong's face changed as he frowned and asked: What's strange? Tell me quickly.

At this moment, the waiter brought in the food. I pointed at the dishes on the table and said, You eat first. I'll tell you as I eat. After I got back from your house that night, I got a strange call.

As we ate, I gave Li Hong a brief summary of what had happened in the past two days. Li Hong did not say anything as she listened, but continued to eat. Occasionally, she would raise her head and look at me, indicating that she was listening intently.

Ever since Li Hong became pregnant, her appetite had become increasingly astonishing. She wasn't too picky about food, as long as she could eat to her heart's content.

After I finished what I wanted to say, I said to Li Hong, Since you're here today, I would like to hear the opinions of your forensic expert. How should I handle these matters?

Li Hong raised her head from her bowl, wiped her mouth and said, Why is it all bad news? Is there any good news? Speak and let me be happy.

I laughed and said, There really is a piece of good news. However, it's not safe for now, so I don't want to tell you in case something goes wrong and everything goes wrong.

Li Hong smiled and said, Tell me first. If you can be happy, then you should be happy first. Even if it's just an empty happiness.

I said, I'm one of the candidates for deputy mayor of the city committee, and I hope it's a good news.

Li Hong curled her lips and disdainfully said, What kind of good news is this? The more power you have, the less security I have. Only you government fans value promotion more than anything else.

I spread out my hands and helplessly said, Then you're saying that it's a good thing for me to stay where I am and be the little bureau chief of the Finance Department? Let me tell you, if I don't advance within a few years, I will have to move my nest. If I don't move, those people behind the queue will curse my eight generations of ancestors from my words.

Li Hong laughed, picked up her teacup and said, I was just joking with you, you look to be in a hurry. If that was good news, Mayor Tang definitely sounded more pleasing to the ears than Chief Tang. Come on, I'll congratulate Mayor Tang in advance with tea instead of wine.

I smiled and slammed the teacup against Li Hong's, saying, That's more like it. It's not that I like being a government official, once you've entered the government, it's as deep as the sea. It's all because of you.

Li Hong smiled and said, Don't make yourself sound so great, alright? This is too hypocritical. I heard that the current Minister of Municipal Committee Organizations is a powerful character, and a great beauty at that. Did you treat her to dinner last night?

A layer of white perspiration appeared on my back when I heard those words. 'Damn, this woman's intuition is really too frightening. How could she guess it so easily?' I asked in astonishment, How did you know?

CHAPTER 705 - JUST TAKE THE HIT

Li Hong lightly smiled and said, If it wasn't for the fact that the Organization's Minister had approved with you beforehand, would you be able to show off in front of me?

I calmed down a little and pretended to be calm as I replied, "Yes, I invited Minister Wang of the Organization Department to a hotel in Shuishui for a meal last night. She just arrived at the river and her position as the Minister is still not stable yet.

Li Hong replied with an Oh and lowered her head to dig rice into her bowl. I didn't dare to continue on this topic, so I changed the topic and asked, Did you expose Han Bohun's true face in front of your mother? She definitely can't fall for his trick.

Li Hong raised her head and asked with a smile, What? Do you know how nervous you are now?

I said, How can I not be nervous? Han Bohun is such a treacherous guy. Old people like to listen to nice words. It's easy to be deceived by his gentle, refined, and modest appearance. If I am not careful and my mother-in-law defends against me in the future, I will be in trouble.

Li Hong smiled and said, It's not that serious. My mom is very clear about it. Han Bo really wants to play with his heart in front of an old Jianghu like my mom. He's still too young.

I calmed down a little and replied smilingly, Then I can feel at ease. After hearing what you said, I have confidence in my mother-in-law.

Li Hong said, Don't call her your mother-in-law. She's not yet. Let me remind you, if you have nothing better to do in the future, you should come visit my house and chat with my mom. Don't just blindly walk around outside.

I said oh and was suddenly speechless. It was not a good idea to continue on with this topic. After pondering for a moment, I asked, You still haven't answered the question that I asked you just now. Do you think I should get into this mess now? "

Li Hong finally finished eating. She took out a tissue to wipe her mouth as if nothing had happened and asked casually, Are you afraid? This is not like the fearless young master Jianghai.

I'm scared of a ball! I said, It's just that you're pregnant now, not like before. I'm worried that someone will harm you.

When I saw the confidence in Li Hong's eyes, my confidence suddenly shot up. I nodded and said, With your attitude, I am relieved. It's not like the past. In the past, we were alone and fearless, with a huge bowl of scars on our heads. But now, we are three people, so we can't help but feel worried."

Li Hong laughed lightly and said, Yo, you've even learnt to think for others now. Not bad, you have improved.

I pulled my face down and pretended to be displeased. I don't like to hear that, I said, as if I've never thought about other people's feelings.

Li Hong said, Heh, I still feel wronged. Well, I can take care of myself, and don't worry about me. A person could not cause any trouble in their lifetime, but they could not be afraid of any trouble. If they wanted to find you, they could not avoid it. If you meet water, let's build a bridge. This is how we used to come here. Look at how worried we were for you, it's just a small matter."

Li Hong said casually as if she didn't even put these hidden opponents in her eyes at all. She seemed to have the bearing of someone who would ruin an oar and turn them into ashes while talking and laughing. My confidence soared. I stood up and walked to Li Hong's side to hug her. I gently said, Wife, you're so nice. As long as you support me, I'm not afraid of anything.

Li Hong, who was in my embrace, chuckled and said with a smile, What happened today that made you so pretentious?

I said, It's not pretentious, it's fragile. It's a time when people are vulnerable.

Li Hong patted my back and said, It's alright. The problem will be solved eventually. I have confidence in you.

I lifted my wrist and looked at my watch. It was already past one, and I still had to go to the prison to interrogate Fang Wu at two o'clock. There wasn't much time left. I lowered my head and said to Li Hong, I'm going to the First Prison, so I won't be accompanying you. You can go home and sleep for a while, then go shopping and the like.

Li Hong pondered for a moment before saying, I don't want to stay at home by myself, since there's nothing to do today, how about I go with you?

I thought for a bit. Li Hong's experience might be helpful to me. I nodded and said, Alright. Let's go together. You can also chat with your master along the way.

Li Hong stood up excitedly, took her bag from my arms and said, Then let's go now.

After leaving the hotel with Li Hong, she left her car in the parking lot outside the hotel and went to the First Prison with me.

On the way there, Li Hong and I analyzed the recent events. Li Hong's judgement was that these events weren't isolated, but started from the moment Li Yu started plotting against me. This was because from the beginning, Li Mingshan and Li Yu's case, many problems and contradictions had not been resolved, and many doubts had not been solved. Although Li Mingshan and Li Yu had both died, their deaths instead covered up many truths that should have been revealed.

I praised, Is the expert an expert or do you have a thorough understanding of the problem? Why didn't I think of that?

Li Hong teased, Who knows what else you think of in your mind besides your beautiful senior sister.

When Li Hong suddenly mentioned Yu Xi, I suddenly realised that I haven't contacted Yu Xi in a while, I think the other side has some objections towards me. I bitterly smiled and said, You say that your taste in vinegar is really unreasonable. I haven't contacted anyone ever since I came back from Binhe River. Perhaps Yu Xi is also cursing me for being heartless. After using him, he just disappeared.

Li Hong rolled her eyes at me and disdainfully said, Then give your senior sister Yu Xi a call right now. It's alright, just pretend that I don't exist.

I coldly snorted and stared straight ahead, ignoring Li Hong. Li Hong continued, If you really feel embarrassed and need me to leave, I'll get out of the car and take a walk first. I'll wait for you to call me before coming up.

I snappily said, Are you still trying to get ahead of yourself? Alright, stop bullshitting. We're already there. Let's get down to business."

When we arrived at the entrance of the prison, we saw a police car waiting there. However, it wasn't Peng Qiang who was sitting inside, but the captain of the city's criminal police force, Tan Ming. Tan Ming got out of the police car, walked up to my car and knocked on the window.

I opened the window and asked, Director Peng, you can't get out, right?

Tan Ming nodded, Yes, he and Director Xiao are in the department researching and arranging the arrest plans. Since they really can't come, they sent me over. When he saw Li Hong also sitting in the car, he smiled and said, Yo, Miss Li also came to help our Public Security Bureau investigate. It seems like we'll be able to solve this case soon.

Li Hong smiled and said, I remember that Captain Tan was an honest man in the past, since when did he learn to be so oily and glib. This is truly a time when the world is changing for the better.

Tan Ming chuckled dryly and said, Hey, what I said was the truth from the bottom of my heart. Back then, you were just a flag at the city police station, so wherever you hit this flag, our gazes would be on you.

Li Hong glanced at me complacently. I said, Come on, it's about time we flattered each other. Captain Tan, didn't Chief Peng ask you to bring me anything?

Tan Ming suddenly understood, Oh, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten. After saying that, he took out a six-four gun from his bag and handed me a box of bullets. Director Peng told me to bring this to you. There's a six-four gun and fifty rounds of bullets. You need to use it to defend yourself from now on.

I took the gun and looked at it. It was new, so I took off the clip and looked again. There were good bullets in the clip, and the yellow shimmer shimmer sparkled beautifully in the sunlight. I put the gun in my waistband and the bullet in my briefcase. Thanks, I said with a smile.

Li Hong suddenly said to Tan Ming, How come I'm not part of it? My master is being too biased. He wants me to help but doesn't have a gun.

Tan Ming smiled and said, Do you still need a gun? Your Little Li Throwing Daggers are unique. When Little Li Throwing Daggers appear, the Gods and Demons will bow down before him.

Li Hong curled her lips and disdainfully said, I said you learned to be glib tongued and yet you didn't admit it. Your mouth is full of pretty words, but you just don't have a single word of truth.

Tan Ming laughed dryly. The gaze he used to look at Li Hong seemed very strange. At this moment, the prison door opened. I waved my hand and said, Alright, stop joking around. Let's go in and meet this hungry wolf in its cage again.

CHAPTER 706 - BODYGUARD

Fang Wu, dressed in a ball suit, handcuffs, and shackles, was escorted into the interview room by a guard. As he entered, he shot a cold glance at the three of us, especially as his gaze slid across my face.

This guy had been locked up in the prison for such a long time, yet the wild nature of his bones had yet to be tamed. Instead, the cold aura he gave off only grew stronger. Such a person was born to be a killer. Luckily, he didn't run away this time. If he had wandered into the society, both brothers would be enemies of the society at the same time, but no one knew how much harm he would cause.

Fang Wu sat down across from me and looked at us with a calm expression. From his calm gaze, I could tell that he was very quiet and had a very good mentality.

I took a cigarette out of my pack, lit it, and asked, Fang Wu, do you still recognize me?

Fang Wu calmly said, Of course, even if you turn into a pile of feces, I can still smell the scent on your body.

He seems to have a vivid memory of my capture of the brothers last year, and he is still brooding over it. I smiled and said, The famous top assassin of the Black Hawk group, Brother Solitary Hawk, you actually fell into my hands? Are you still very unconvinced?

Fang Wu coldly said: Of course I'm not convinced. Are you proud of yourself? Let me tell you, that time, it was the heavens that helped you not to help me. If you give me another chance, I will definitely let you die by my hands."

Tan Ming suddenly slammed the table and shouted, Impudent! Fang Wu, look clearly at this place. You dare to say such fierce words. You are truly boasting shamelessly!"

Other people don't know you, but I do. Back then, you were just a dog under my brother, and you were nothing without my brother. Now that you've changed masters, you're showing off in front of me. "

Before his arrest, Fang Xiao was the Chief of Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Tan Ming hadn't been in the Criminal Police for long, so it was hard to say if he had contributed much to the criminal police. However, these words completely infuriated Tan Ming. He dashed towards Fang Wu, grabbed him by the collar, and gritted his teeth as he said harshly, Bastard, what did you just say? You dare to say it again?

Tan Ming's temper was too hot. It would be bad for an interrogation like this. I hurried over and pulled Tan Ming back, Captain Tan, can't you see that this guy is just trying to make us angry? We can't be fooled by him.

Tan Ming thought for a while, forcefully suppressing his anger. He let go of Fang Wu's neck and angrily turned back to his seat. However, he still could not suppress the anger in his heart. His face was sullen and he did not say anything for a long time.

I looked at Li Hong. She shook her head slightly, indicating that I should be patient. I pondered for a moment and asked, Fang Wu, I heard that you took the young players from Binhe City at the age of sixteen. Later on, because of an injury from a sport, you were forced to retire from the provincial team earlier. Is that true?

When I mentioned this part of the story, Fang Wu's cold eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of light. His thoughts seemed to sink into the reminiscence. Obviously, he cherished the years of his youth that he was so proud of. This was undoubtedly one of the few memories in his life that was worth being proud of.

Seeing that Fang Wu did not answer, I continued, When you were nineteen, you joined the army. With your excellent physical condition, you were selected to join a special forces that still has some mysteriousness to it. And it still stands out in this special forces, which is made up entirely of weapons specialists, completing the tasks assigned to you by your superiors on numerous occasions. You are perfectly capable of becoming, so to speak, a very distinguished man, but I do not understand why such an excellent man as you would be willing to serve as a dispatched killer.

Fang Wu suddenly said coldly: You don't need to put on a high hat for me, I won't take this lying down. How can this dirty society be fair? There are hypocrites like you everywhere, what's wrong with being an assassin? What I want to do the most is kill a hypocrite like you. In the hitman industry, I am the most outstanding one.

Tan Ming laughed coldly and said disdainfully, Boasting shamelessly, are you the most outstanding assassin? Then how did you, the most outstanding assassin, end up here?

You! Fang Wu glared fiercely at Tan Ming and said disdainfully, I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you, you're not worthy to talk to me.

Fang Wu's reaction gave me a sudden inspiration. Fang Wu was undoubtedly a very proud person. He regarded his title as the number one assassin very importantly. This might be the weakness that we can exploit.

Li Hong's reaction was even faster than mine. She suddenly sneered and said, You're the number one assassin? I don't think so. Recently, a group of professional killers suddenly appeared in the river, and one of them is called Boss Liu. In terms of both spear skills and physical skills, he's above you and your brother."

Is there such a thing? Fang Wu looked curiously at Li Hong and asked, Who are you? How do you know that their skills are better than my brother and me?

Tan Ming disdainfully replied, You don't even know her? She's really like a frog in the well, ignorant and ignorant. I'm afraid I'll scare you half to death by saying her name. "

Fang Wu coldly said, You don't have to play tricks in front of me. There are too many people I don't know. Wouldn't that scare me to death if everyone reported their name?

Tan Ming said, She is Li Hong, the famous female scout team leader of our province. Your Black Hawk organization's Eagle Mountain and countless disciples and grandchildren all died in her hands.

Fang Wu revealed a surprised expression, he sucked in a breath of cold air and said in surprise, Oh, you're Li Hong?

Li Hong nodded and said, That's right, I am Li Hong. That 'Boss Liu' is very similar to you. It's very possible that he was trained by the same special forces as you back then. But according to our investigation, he's not a Black Hawk, he's another group that prints counterfeit money.

Fang Wu lowered his head in thought, muttering to himself: Our army? Who could it be? He suddenly raised his head and stared at us. Did you come to see me today to find out the identity of this person?"

You can think of it that way, but I think there's one thing I should let you know. This morning, your brother Fang Xiao was forced to swallow a nail in the shed. He was taken by an unknown group of people while he was being rushed to the hospital for help, Li Hong said.

What? Fang Xiao stood up abruptly and said with a pale face, Hijacked? This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Why not? Li Hong stared into Fang Wu's eyes and said seriously, If they can force your brother to swallow a nail in jail, why can't they kidnap your brother midway?

Fang Wu's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning suspicion. He looked at Li Hong in a daze and said, I don't believe you. I don't believe a word you say.

Li Hong said, You may not believe me, but think about it carefully, how many unspeakable secrets do you still have? If you think that it was your Black Hawk people who planned to save Fang Xiao, then why did they throw you off on their own?"

Fang Wu sat down dejectedly, looking at his toes in a daze and remaining silent for a long time.

As the saying goes, We don't hold back in the art of war. Li Hong managed to intimidate Fang Wu with a few words. Li Hong continued, Think about it, why would they do all they could to get your brother out of here and leave you here? Fang Wu, let me tell you, don't think that just because you have so many secrets hidden that you can help you. Why did those people want to take your brother away? What did they want to do? You know better than anyone. You're right, people have their own value in life, but what can you possibly bring by keeping a secret that you'd rather die for? Who would trust you? You should know better than all of us what kind of people your Black Hawk group is. What you have hidden from us, is only a calamity that will bring you all no benefits at all.

Fang Wu suddenly became agitated. He shouted, "Shut
