Chapter 589: Who Is the Sheep? Who Is the Tiger?

~9 min read 1,787 words

As soon as the words fell, Su Monong rose, stepped in her high heels, and walked toward the desk.

The softness of the sofa made their closeness grow ever tighter……

The air was filled with a faint perfume and their breathing; every motion carried an indescribable tenderness.

His inner defenses gradually loosened.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and gently embraced Su Monong's back……

…

At the same time, Hangchengshi First People's Hospital.

Intensive Care Unit.

Inside the intensive care unit, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Lei Chen Zhou lay on the hospital bed, his body full of various tubes.

His left hand hung an IV of saline, and his mouth and nose were covered with an oxygen mask.

Lei Chen Zhou's chest rose and fell with his weak breath, his complexion as pale as paper.

Lin Yuan's Overbearing Dragon Piercing Heavens Needle not only pierced his life gate acupoint, but also shocked his internal organs.

At this moment, Lei Chen Zhou had been completely crippled, unable to even twitch a finger.

Inside the ward, two police officers in uniform stood.

These two were the ones Huo Gang sent to interrogate and guard Lei Chen Zhou.

One of the officers held an interrogation record, leaning over to look at Lei Chen Zhou on the bed.

The officer asked sternly: "Lei Chen Zhou, we are from the Hangchengshi Public Security Bureau, and we are now interrogating you according to law. Please truthfully confess the organization structure of the Thunder Tiger Sect, the hiding places of its remaining members, and the illegal criminal activities you have previously been involved in!"

Hearing the officer's question, Lei Chen Zhou slowly moved his eyeballs.

Through the gap in his oxygen mask, his gaze swept over the two officers, dark and sinister.

Yet a strange cold smile curled at the corner of Lei Chen Zhou's mouth.

Lei Chen Zhou did not answer, merely fixing his eyes on the two of them.

His eyes were full of hatred and madness, as if poisoned.

The other officer, seeing his refusal to cooperate, frowned, stepped forward, and intensified his tone: "Lei Chen Zhou, you are seriously injured and now a turtle in a jar. Voluntarily confessing and seeking leniency is your only way out! Stubborn resistance will only add to your guilt!"

"Heh…hehehe…" Lei Chen Zhou finally reacted, letting out a muffled laugh from his throat, transmitted through the oxygen mask, sounding especially gloomy.

Lei Chen Zhou still kept his mouth shut, not answering any question, merely repeating that chilling cold laugh over and over.

After a long while, Lei Chen Zhou finally exerted all his strength, squeezing out a hoarse voice from his throat.

Lei Chen Zhou said word by word: "You damned police…… you will pay the price for this……"

As his words fell, his laughter grew ever more frenzied……

Lei Chen Zhou's chest heaved violently from his heavy breathing, and the wires connected to the equipment shook as well.

……

At the same time, inside a concealed abandoned warehouse in Hangcheng.

This is the secret base of the Thunder Tiger Sect, surveillance and hidden posts everywhere, defenses tight.

Beside the iron table in the warehouse's center, a middle-aged man in black Tang attire, his face stern yet with a hint of sinisterness, was seated at the table.

At that moment, the middle-aged man fiercely smashed his teacup onto the ground with a crisp "bang", splashing tea and shards everywhere.

This person was Lei Chen Zhou's father, the Gang Leader of the Thunder Tiger Sect…… Lei Xiaotian!

Lei Xiaotian learned that his son Lei Chen Zhou had been captured by the police and severely injured by Lin Yuan, now lying in the hospital intensive care unit……

Lei Xiaotian was furious beyond restraint.

Lei Xiaotian's body radiated violent hostility, making the temperature in the warehouse seem to drop a few degrees.

"Trash! A bunch of trash! Can't even handle Lin Yuan, and you let Chen Zhou fall into the police's hands!" Lei Xiaotian snarled through gritted teeth, his eyes full of killing intent and anxiety.

His subordinates stood to the side, heads lowered, not daring to answer, all bent over.

Just then, the warehouse's side door was pushed open.

Two figures walked in.

The one in front was precisely Qian Renhao, who had miraculously survived after jumping off a cliff.

Qian Renhao still had some dirt and abrasions on him, his appearance disheveled yet unable to hide his panic;

Following behind Qian Renhao…… was a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The middle-aged man's demeanor was steady; he was precisely Qian Renhao's father, Chairman of the Qian Shi Group, Qian Shoude.

Qian Shoude saw the enraged Lei Xiaotian, quickly stepped forward, and put on a polite smile.

Qian Renhao cupped his hands and said: "Gang Leader Lei, long time no see. Hearing that your son had an accident, I immediately brought my son here."

Lei Xiaotian turned his glare toward Qian Shoude and his son, his tone icy: "Boss Qian, you're well-informed. My son's life or death is uncertain, under police surveillance, yet you father and son stand here unharmed—is this your sincerity in cooperation?"

Qian Shoude showed no fear of his aura, calmly saying: "Gang Leader Lei, please calm your anger. My son's lucky escape is also due to fortune. Rest assured, since our Qian Family and the Thunder Tiger Sect have long been in cooperation—shared honor, shared loss—your son's affair is our Qian Family's affair."

Qian Shoude paused, his eyes firming: "I have already contacted the best legal team in the industry; these lawyers are experienced and most skilled at handling such criminal cases."

"We will quickly gather evidence, find a suitable scapegoat to help your son be acquitted. No matter the cost, I will surely find a way to rescue your son from the police station and hospital, absolutely ensuring he comes to no harm!"

Qian Renhao also hurried forward to echo, his tone somewhat flattering: "Gang Leader Lei, what my father said is true! Our Qian Family has wide connections and abundant resources in Hangcheng; we will surely rescue the young gang leader!"

"Moreover, that Lin Yuan ruined our plans; after we rescue the young gang leader, we will join forces to deal with him, making him pay a heavy price!"

After hearing the father and son's words.

Lei Xiaotian, however, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Lei Xiaotian's eyes swept over Qian Shoude with contempt: "Lawyers? A scapegoat to save my son? This drawn-out nonsense—how long will it take? And can you guarantee getting my son out? The feasibility is too low! I disagree!"

Qian Shoude and Qian Renhao, father and son, were momentarily stunned.

The smiles on the faces of the father and son froze.

Qian Shoude frowned and asked: "Gang Leader Lei Xiaotian, what does this mean? Do you think this plan won't work? This is already the most stable and only feasible solution."

"Feasible plan? Screw the feasible plan!" Lei Xiaotian fiercely kicked the iron leg of the nearby table.

The table let out a loud "Clang!", and the table leg was snapped off directly.

Lei Xiaotian's eyes were blood-red, his tone tyrannical: "My son is lying in the hospital; every extra second adds danger! While you lot find a scapegoat and go through all that bullshit procedure, my son might already be dead!"

Lei Xiaotian took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart.

He coldly stared at Qian Shoude and his son: "My son, I will save him myself! You don't need to worry about my method; you just need to provide me with sufficient funds and detailed intelligence assistance from the Hangcheng police and hospital."

Qian Shoude and his son were completely stunned?

The father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Qian Shoude stepped forward, his tone tinged with urgency and doubt: "Gang Leader Lei Xiaotian, how do you intend to rescue him? Don't you have a faster method than hiring a lawyer?"

Lei Xiaotian slowly turned around, hands clasped behind his back.

Lei Xiaotian, with his back to the two, gazed at the dark corner of the warehouse, his voice low and resolute, uttering two words word by word: "Jailbreak!"

"Swish——!!" Upon hearing the two words 'jailbreak'!

Qian Renhao and his father felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning!

The father and son were utterly shocked!

The color drained from Qian Shoude's face in an instant.

Qian Renhao, the son, was so startled he stepped back, his voice trembling: "Jail... jailbreak? Gang Leader Lei Xiaotian, this, this is absolutely out of the question!"

Qian Shoude also hurried forward to dissuade him, his expression grave to the extreme:

Gang Leader Lei Xiaotian, calm down! This is Hangcheng, a law-abiding society! Now that your son has been arrested, the police will surely deploy in layers; the surroundings of the hospital and police station are swarming with officers. If you go for a jailbreak now, it's like a lamb entering a tiger's den—not only will you fail to rescue your son, but you'll also drag yourself and the entire Thunder Tiger Sect into disaster!

"Lamb into a tiger's den?" Lei Xiaotian, upon hearing this, saw the ferocity in his eyes peak instantly.

Lei Xiaotian lunged forward a step, his hands like iron clamps, each grabbing the necks of Qian Shoude and Qian Renhao.

Lei Xiaotian's arms suddenly exerted force, actually lifting the father and son off the ground together.

Both men's feet left the ground, their throats tightly choked; instantly their faces turned red, and their tongues involuntarily protruded.

The father and son frantically grabbed Lei Xiaotian's arms, trying to break free but to no avail; breathing grew ever more difficult, their chests heaved violently, and they seemed about to suffocate.

Lei Xiaotian's eyes were bloodshot, he fixed his gaze on the struggling father and son in his grasp.

Lei Xiaotian's voice was icy and piercing, he growled word by word: "Tell me clearly, who's the lamb and who's the tiger?! In my eyes, those police are nothing but a flock of sheep awaiting slaughter; anyone who dares block my path to save my son, I'll wipe them out together!"

Qian Shoude and his son, being choked, saw darkness before their eyes, their consciousness beginning to blur, unable to utter a word...

The father and son could only emit a hoarse "huh-huh" as air leaked, their limbs twitching weakly, nearly being choked to death on the spot.

Lei Xiaotian's voice icy: "Immediately prepare the funds and intelligence; I'm going to break him out of jail right now! Hear me?!"

The father and son's faces turned ashen; they could only nod tremblingly...
