2 took out either the Black Blade or the Thunder Roarer.

At the very moment the enemy appears.

He will slay them.

In his eyes.

This black sedan.

Is very likely someone from the Gulf Family.

Ning Chen's eyes were filled with coldness.

His gaze fixed tightly on the driver's seat.

"Bang!"

The car door was opened.

A middle-aged man wearing a black down jacket got out of the car.

As soon as he got out, a voice sounded.

"Ning Chen, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ning Chen looked at the person before him and said in surprise, "Director Zhao?"

Zhao Zhiguo nodded with a smile and said, "It is me."

Ning Chen brought his hands, which had been behind his back, to the front: "What do you want from me?"

Zhao Zhiguo closed the car door and said, "I came to ask you some things."

"What is there to ask of me? Everything remains as before." Ning Chen replied indifferently.

Zhao Shiguo heard Ning Chen's words, sighed, and said, "Have you been tracking down those who killed Si Shiya?"

"You should also know them, the Gulf Family."

Hearing "Gulf Family".

Ning Chen fell silent, and only after a long while did he say, "You, did you get this news from Zhao Mengmeng?"

Zhao Zhiguo nodded and said, "Zhao Mengmeng told me that you went to find her."

Ning Chen was not surprised.

Regarding Zhao Zhiguo knowing this matter.

Although he could not guess how, if the other party knew.

Then it was understandable.

After all, he had exposed some information on Zhao Mengmeng.

Zhao Zhiguo, as a participant in the case back then, knew all the inside details, and as an old police officer who had worked for decades.

A keen sense of smell was necessary.

If making a reasonable and bold inference.

Then.

Zhao Zhiguo should be able to deduce his actions.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to stop me?"

"No!" Zhao Zhiguo shook his head and took two steps closer to Ning Chen, "I just want to say that your current situation is very dangerous!"

"Dangerous?" Ning Chen nodded, "Indeed very dangerous, I am constantly facing the pursuit of the Gulf Family. Although they cannot find me, they can find people I know in Donghai City, and someone has already fallen victim to their hands."

Zhao Zhiguo heard Ning Chen's words and then said, "The danger I speak of is not only from the Gulf Family."

"Then what?" Ning Chen frowned.

Zhao Zhiguo continued, "You must have killed people, right? Those people from the Gulf Family, there was Luo San and his son, and some others."

Luo San did not die.

But Ning Chen turned him into a madman.

There was little difference from death.

Ning Chen nodded; regarding this point, he had no need to deny it.

The other party has come to his door, so what else is there to say?

They must have come with intelligence.

Otherwise, they would not have come looking for him.

Zhao Zhiguo continued, "You killed people, and back then in that abandoned house in Mohe, you also acted against those people. There was a police officer named Hua Ping; he has locked his target on you."

"But he only speculated; he has no real evidence. Moreover, he only spoke in riddles, using tone and attitude to tell me that he knows you did it. If he really finds evidence, then you are a criminal and will have to sit in prison."

After hearing this, Ning Chen suddenly laughed, "Is killing a criminal also against the law?"

Zhao Zhiguo affirmed, "It is against the law. As long as one kills, it is against the law. Everyone is equal before the law."

Ning Chen fell silent. He looked at Zhao Zhiguo, his treaded running shoes on his feet ready to spring into action, "Then why are you coming to find me now? Is it to take me back?"

Zhao Zhiguo laughed heartily, "No. If I wanted to catch you, you should be under heavy encirclement by the police right now, or you would be going back to the police station with me to drink a cup of warm tea."

Ning Chen asked in confusion, "Then why did you come to find me?"

"Intelligence!" Zhao Zhiguo looked at Ning Chen and said, "I have already resigned from the police station and quit."

"Why?" Ning Chen asked, cutting in.

Zhao Zhiguo clenched his fists, his face filled with solemnity as he said, "I suspect there is a mole within the police force!"

A mole?

And within the police station itself?

Ning Chen looked at Zhao Zhiguo and asked, "How are you sure?"

Zhao Zhiguo shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial deduction. Our operations are exposed in many cases, and very few people know about Si Shiya's 'Sailor's' daughter, yet the Bay Family knows."

"We strictly safeguard the identities and families of anti-narcotics officers. Now, a mistake occurred involving Si Shiya; our identity was exposed to them, which is why Shiya has been targeted!"

Hearing Zhao Zhiguo say this.

Ning Chen also understood.

It seemed.

There might indeed be a mole within the police station.

And since Zhao Zhiguo did not want to act under the enemy's watch, he would naturally resign and choose to investigate secretly on his own.

Ning Chen looked up, sighed, then turned to Zhao Zhiguo: "Is there anything else? If you are not here to stop me, you may leave now."

Zhao Zhiguo let out a bitter smile and said, "Ning Chen, regarding Shiya's matter, we owe you an apology, but do not get too deeply involved; it will bring you no benefit at all."

Heavy snow.

Falling in a flurry.

The air suddenly grew cold.

Zhao Zhiguo involuntarily pulled his coat tighter.

He looked quietly at Ning Chen.

Wanting to see what Ning Chen's next move would be.

Yet Ning Chen remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Zhiguo could not help but say, "Child, Si Shiya is already dead. You should live for yourself now. No one can guarantee you won't be exposed and end up in prison. If evidence is truly found against you, the rest of your life may be spent behind bars!"

Zhao Zhiguo could not bear to watch Ning Chen fall into it.

Because he had also watched Si Shiya fall into it.

One with a half-life, half-alive.

One already deceased.

310. (5/5) Silent Understanding

"Did Shiya really die?"

Ning Chen spoke slowly.
