Chapter 36: Scorpion Arrested

Wang Yadong hurriedly opened the door to let Scorpion in; the moment he entered the room, Wang Yadong confronted Scorpion, asking:

"What are you doing here? Don't you know you have blood debts here? Don't you know what fate awaits you once you are caught?"

Hearing Wang Yadong's confrontation, Scorpion gave a sinister smile:

"Why do you think they can definitely catch me?"

Seeing Scorpion still chatting and laughing with him here, Wang Yadong asked with a helpless expression:

"You went through the police's layered encirclement and capture to come here and find me just to tell me how much courage you have?"

"Of course not."

Scorpion sat down and played the emotional card with Wang Yadong: "Mountain Cat, how long has it been since we last met?"

Wang Yadong stood up, walked toward the bar, and began to recall: "About five years, I suppose."

"Eleven days short of five years and eight months."

Scorpion quickly said.

Wang Yadong couldn't help but utter a sneer: "It's rare that you remember so clearly."

"You were the most outstanding student I ever taught, of course I know clearly."

Scorpion kept talking to Wang Yadong about the old teacher-student friendship.

Wang Yadong directly interrupted his words: "You didn't come to my place just to talk about comradeship."

Coming all this way at the risk of his life to find him in the country just to catch up on old times? That would be a waste of breath. Scorpion had accumulated countless blood debts in China; once caught, he would be shot immediately without a shred of leniency.

Scorpion chuckled awkwardly from the side: "Don't be so cold. You are still the most outstanding sniper under my command, the most outstanding special forces member."

Scorpion's words not only failed to stir any comradeship in Wang Yadong but instead ignited his anger. Wang Yadong roared angrily at Scorpion: "I am not a mercenary anymore. I'm done."

To this, Scorpion sneered: "Are you really done?"

Hearing Scorpion's question, Wang Yadong, acting as if mad, continued to roar at Scorpion: "Of course it's true. I've had enough. I have already broken with the past."

"Broken?"

Scorpion stood up, looked straight at Wang Yadong, and continued to ask: "Have you really broken? Have you completely broken with the past?"

These two words struck Wang Yadong's heart like a heavy hammer. Seeing Wang Yadong's expression waver, Scorpion continued to press his advantage: "Look at your current situation. You could open another shop. With your qualifications, you could easily earn some money to live on."

Speaking to this point, Scorpion pointed at the military supplies all around and shouted at Wang Yadong: "Then why did you open a military goods store?"

After speaking, he grabbed Wang Yadong's clothes and shouted loudly: "The military uniform you are wearing is still the F2 model. You won't change from the bone; you are a perfect soldier."

Wang Yadong shook off Scorpion's hand that was grabbing his clothes and roared at Scorpion: "Mercenaries are not warriors. I love fighting, but I do not love selling my life for money."

"What's the difference?"

Scorpion shouted in question: "Fighting for faith, fighting for money—it is all combat."

"Of course it's different. I am not a professional killer."

Wang Yadong immediately denied it.

"But you have done it."

After speaking, Scorpion looked at Wang Yadong with fierce eyes and asked: "Do you dare say your hands haven't been stained with blood?"

"Do you dare?"

Scorpion asked Wang Yadong again.

Wang Yadong sat down on the sandbag with lifeless eyes, then slowly said: "If there really is such a day, I am willing to accept the punishment of the law."

Scorpion covered his face with both hands. He truly did not expect Wang Yadong to prefer prison over going with him, but he still impatiently tried to persuade Wang Yadong.

But all he got was Wang Yadong's words: "I will not go with you."

Hearing this, Scorpion stopped persuading and smiled slightly: "Did I say I wanted you to go with me? I came this time just to see you."

Wang Yadong turned his head away, refusing to look at him. Big brother, you need to know you are a wanted criminal in China. You risk being shot just to come see me. Do you think I believe that?

Seeing Wang Yadong's expression, Scorpion knew he didn't believe him, so he could only explain: "I was demoted."

"Demoted?"

Wang Yadong looked at Scorpion in confusion. He knew Scorpion was the ace of the company; how could such a person be demoted so casually?

"It's normal. You know I can't get along with those people on the board of directors. They revoked my command authority and sent me to the mainland to be a bodyguard for a big shot."

Scorpion explained to Wang Yadong the reason for coming here. Hearing this, Wang Yadong was completely baffled and asked Scorpion in disbelief:

"You are a bodyguard?"

Scorpion hadn't seen him in five years and had already fallen so miserably that he had sunk to the point of being a bodyguard for someone who was once his equal.

Afterwards, Scorpion continued to play the emotional card with Wang Yadong, but the difference was that before he could finish playing the card, the sound of an alarm echoed through the room. Scorpion and Wang Yadong hurriedly ran to the bar to look:

They saw countless special police officers surrounding the place completely. Seeing this scene, Wang Yadong hurriedly opened the secret passage to let Scorpion leave. Before leaving, Scorpion didn't forget to advise Wang Yadong:

"Mountain Cat, come with me. They won't let you go."

Wang Yadong lowered his head and said: "I have no blood debts here. The crime of shielding someone won't carry the death penalty. Go quickly."

Scorpion looked deeply at Wang Yadong and said: "Mountain Cat, I owe you."

"Go."

Wang Yadong hurriedly signaled him to leave. Scorpion immediately crawled into the escape tunnel, while Wang Yadong immediately closed the escape tunnel and concealed it, then sat on the sandbag as usual.

As soon as he sat on the sandbag, the special police outside rushed in. Nie Huaishang, who was nearby outside the room, immediately contacted Zhang Chu'an and the others via the chat group.

Nie Huaishang: "Everyone, Scorpion has just left through the escape tunnel. You need to get ready immediately."

Zhang Chu'an: "Received."

Guo Jing: "Received."

Zhang Xiaofan: "Received."

Zhang Chu'an stared fixedly at that exit thirty meters from the escape tunnel. At the slightest movement, he would immediately unleash the Thunderbolt Member technique.

Meanwhile, Guo Jing and Zhang Xiaofan, standing far away, aimed their sniper rifles at that exit. If two people came out, they could still provide remote fire support to Zhang Chu'an. As for friendly fire, that was simply impossible.

They waited quietly like this, not a single sound made by anyone; after a long while, the stone lid within their sight was slowly opened.

As Ruan Wenxiong just poked his head out from inside, he heard a crackle of lightning and sparks; the moment he thought to draw his gun and shoot toward the source of the sound, he fainted.

Looking at Ruan Wenxiong lying on the ground unconscious, the four felt something unreal; there was no help for it, it was too smooth. They had expected fighting Ruan Wenxiong would take some effort, but they never thought Zhang Chu'an would knock him out just by opening a Thunder Rush membership.

As for whether Ruan Wenxiong would wake up in the short term, what a joke; he was nearly electrocuted to a crisp by Zhang Chu'an.

Looking at the blackened scorpion, Zhang Chu'an asked Guo Jing and Zhang Xiaofan, "Scorpion, how should we handle this? This fellow is very cunning; if we are not careful, he will escape."
