Chapter 233

The man in the white suit laughed, his shoulders trembling slightly, his bone-white teeth gleaming.

"He thought that by finding Luo San, the one who fired the shot back then, and having Luo San personally kill his son, he had achieved revenge?"

"Too childish. Only children hold grudges like that, right?"

"But it cannot be denied, this man has gone a bit too far," the man in the white suit said, shaking his head as he walked forward. "He likes to walk on the blade's edge, thinking he goes unnoticed by gods or men, but he should not have provoked the Gulf Family."

"He has successfully exposed himself."

"Letting us know that 'Sailor' not only has one daughter, but also a prospective son-in-law. This is simply the best news imaginable!"

"This certainly counts as a police family member," someone beside him said.

The man in the white suit nodded. "The Gulf Family, when targeting undercover agents from the police, will not spare any of their family members."

"Sailor" was the nickname of the anti-narcotics detective who went undercover in the Gulf Family sixteen years ago.

His real name was Si Nan.

He was Si Shiya's father.

After being exposed sixteen years ago, he was tortured for a full thirty-six hours before dying.

"He does not know that our people have already gone to find him," the man in the white suit said with a smile. "Once we bring him back alive, this will be a classic case used to intimidate the family internally; it will certainly have a remarkable effect."

"It will also let those police officers know that the Gulf Family never forgets to retaliate, even sixteen years later."

162. He knows I am secretly shielding Ning Chen.

Donghai City Bureau.

A team of uninvited guests had arrived.

They were comrades from Yunnan Province.

After a brief meeting, an emergency session was held directly in the Director's office.

All attendees were important figures; the number was small, including the comrades from Yunnan Province, totaling fewer than ten people.

"Let the comrades from Yunnan Province explain the situation directly," Liu Ju Zhiguo said, his expression solemn.

On the screen ahead, the headshot of a man appeared.

The person in charge from Yunnan Province spoke directly.

"Comrades, time is urgent, so I will be brief. The man you see now," the person in charge pointed to the screen behind him, "is named 'Basong'. This is a Thai name, but he is not Thai; he is from Dongguo."

"His Dongguo name is Liu Ang."

"The reason we are focusing on this person is that he was previously suspected of smuggling drugs between the Golden Triangle and the mainland."

"Although there is currently no direct evidence, the shadows of this person can be seen behind multiple leads."

"The reason we are discussing this person today comes mainly from the analysis of big data random arrest results."

"Liu Ang's information and facial recognition match results appeared in the big data system of Mohe Airport early this morning."

Upon hearing the two words "Mohe".

Zhao Mengmeng, who was present, was immediately startled.

The first thing she thought of was Ning Chen; wasn't he in Mohe?

He was traveling in Mohe, checking in at the rime ice spot.

But...

What does this have to do with Ning Chen?

"However, because the big data screening results required manual verification, by the time we discovered this matter, five hours had already passed," the person in charge from Yunnan Province said.

"We contacted the Mohe authorities as quickly as possible, but it was already too late."

"Airport surveillance shows that after Liu Ang and his group disembarked, they boarded a car that had been prepared outside the airport and left."

"No similar vehicles were seen afterward, so they may have changed vehicles."

"We traveled from Yunnan Province to Donghai City, and it is now ten in the morning. That means Liu Ang and his group have been on the ground for nearly ten hours."

The person in charge looked at the others in the Donghai City Bureau.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Liu Ju Zhiguo of the Donghai City Bureau.

"Liu Ju, this matter is very likely related to you, the Donghai City Bureau."

Hearing this, the others were also somewhat surprised.

Related to the Donghai City Bureau?

What does that mean?

Liu Ju Zhiguo looked at the person in charge, but he said nothing.

Zhao Mengmeng, not far away, felt a shock in her heart.

Suddenly, she had a bad premonition.

Could it be...

The higher-ups already know that Liu Ju deliberately concealed the fact that Ning Chen had previously gone to Anji City?

If so...

But the person in charge suddenly shifted his tone:

"Mainly because of the identity of this Liu Ang, also known as Basong."

"This person's true identity is a member of a drug den in the Golden Triangle, and a relatively important figure."

"A 'Sanctioner' of the Gulf Family."

"A 'Sanctioner'?"

The person in charge nodded. "An internal organization specifically targeting police family members to carry out retaliatory actions. Liu Ang is a key operative within this organization."

"The latest intelligence we have received—for I cannot tell you the source of the intelligence—is that within the Sanctioner organization, they have been discussing the case from sixteen years ago recently."

"The 'Sailor' case from sixteen years ago."

"And the 'Sailor's' daughter, Si Shiya, is a police officer in your Donghai City Bureau."

"Combining all this information, we currently preliminarily believe that Liu Ang suddenly appearing at Mohe in the North is very likely another mission being carried out for the Bay Family."

"And given Liu Ang's special status, as well as the current rumors within the Sanctioners."

"We believe that this time, Liu Ang is very likely carrying out his family's 'Blood Covenant Mission'!"

The person in charge from Yun Province finished speaking.

The office fell silent.

A Blood Covenant Mission specifically targets police families, carrying out an eye-for-an-eye retaliation.

"The 'Sailor's' wife died by suicide from severe depression many years ago, and his daughter was also killed in Donghai City two and a half years ago."

"By all rights, the Sailor has no family left in this world."

After saying this.

The person in charge from Yun Province turned his head and looked at Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo beside him.

Bureau Chief Liu had not spoken at all until now.

"Then—Bureau Chief Liu," that person in charge looked at him, "I'd like to trouble you to explain—before, why did you conceal the matter of Ning Chen from Yun Province?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone important in attendance at the entire office.

All looked toward Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo.

Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo looked at the other party.

After a long while, he suddenly said, "We did not conceal anything—at the time we explicitly informed you—one of our police officer's family members was heading to Anji City, he was looking for that Li Sai Gao, and a conflict might occur because of it, so we requested your help to intercept his RV, to intercept him, because we believed his life would be in danger."

Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo spoke thus.

And at the time, it was indeed exactly so.

"Are you saying that it was our Yun Province side's work that was inadequate, that we neglected the important information you provided at the time?" that person in charge looked at Liu Zhiguo.

Liu Zhiguo nodded, "Although I don't want to say it this way, the facts may indeed be so."

Hearing Bureau Chief Liu Zhiguo say this, that person in charge got a bit angry, glaring at Liu Zhiguo.

Liu Zhiguo looked at him, "At the time, the jurisdiction for that Li Sai Gao case was within your Yun Province's scope. Our Donghai City provided you with all the information we knew, and so, you smashed the Li Sai Gao gang's hideout, didn't you?"

Beside them, Zhao Mengmeng.

Listening to Bureau Chief Liu's fluent, methodical, and articulate responses, she secretly admired her master in her heart.

Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier!

If it had been her, under this string of interrogations, she would have long been guilty and at a loss for words.

But Bureau Chief Liu, unexpectedly, still spoke with reason and evidence.
