Chapter 538

Those vehicles must be police cars.

Fortunately, everything we needed to ask has been asked.

Then there is no need to stay here.

"Alright, you will all fall into the net of the law. Goodbye." Ning Chen said his final words, then casually tossed the pistol in his hand into the sea.

Afterwards.

Ning Chen ran a few steps to the container and quickly merged into the darkness.

"Brother Wei! He's gone! What should we do now!"

Hearing the car sounds coming from the distance, Brother Wei looked at the group of cargo workers before him, gritted his teeth, and said, "If we get caught, we're surely dead! Now there is only one way to survive! Jump into the sea!"

"What! Jump into the sea?"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly widened their eyes.

Brother Wei wasted no words with them, stood up directly, leaped into the air, and plunged into the sea.

"Brother Wei! Brother Wei! What should I do!" The thug lay on the ground screaming, blood already pooling all around him.

It was obvious.

He had absolutely no way to jump into the river, so he could only lie here obediently and wait for the police.

Quickly.

One after another, many people followed and jumped into the sea.

Some swam in a chosen direction, attempting to reach the shore.

Others climbed and clung to the walls, hoping that this would allow them to evade the police pursuit.

But without exception.

When the police cars arrived.

They were all caught.

385. Someone always has to do it.

"Speak up, what exactly happened?" Ren Xiaoping sat in the interrogation room, opening a file to prepare for recording.

The person sitting opposite.

Was none other than Brother Wei, who had just been arrested.

Brother Wei now held a downcast face, emitting a heavy, oppressive aura from his body.

Inside this not-so-large interrogation room.

The air appeared exceptionally solemn.

"Speak!" The police officer sitting beside Ren Xiaoping suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"Don't be impulsive, Xu Si, he will speak." Ren Xiaoping reached out a hand and patted Xu Si's shoulder, then leaned forward slightly, revealing a smile as he said, "What you say now still has a slight chance of reducing your punishment. If you don't speak, you know the consequences."

"It seems you haven't been doing this line of work for short, right? You understand the principles. We are all adults; there is no need to waste time on this." Ren Xiaoping said softly.

Those words.

Were all poured into Brother Wei's ears.

Then.

Brother Wei slowly raised his head, looking calmly at Ren Xiaoping and saying, "Nothing, just being threatened by someone for a while."

Ren Xiaoping continued asking, "That person, who is he?"

"I haven't seen him, don't know where he came from, and since the situation was urgent at the time, I didn't even remember his face." Brother Wei said honestly.

"Haven't seen him? So a city hero came to punish criminals?" Xu Si smiled and said.

Ren Xiaoping glanced at him, "Even if such a thing truly existed, they would still have to consult the police first."

"So, how did he threaten you?" Ren Xiaoping looked at Brother Wei and asked.

Recalling the scene that had just occurred, Brother Wei's lips trembled as he narrated, "At that time, I only heard some commotion nearby, but when I looked over, I saw nothing. When I turned my head back, I found a knife pressed against my neck!"

"And when I tried to grab my gun, he casually snatched it away, then used the gun to threaten us not to move. When the thug tried to run, he shot the thug in the calf. Everyone was terrified, afraid of being shot, so no one dared to run. Then he asked me some questions." As Brother Wei spoke, he clutched his head with both hands, his face ashen.

"After I answered honestly, I heard the sound of a car approaching. Perhaps he didn't want to be discovered by the police, so he threw the pistol into the sea. Finally, he moved quickly to the container side and disappeared."

Speaking.

Brother Wei became somewhat agitated. He hammered his fists onto the table, producing a huge noise.

This sound echoed inside the interrogation room, appearing exceptionally loud.

"Officer, in my entire life I have never seen anyone whose movements and actions were as swift as his, just like a monkey! It's terrifying! The moment I turned around, a knife was at my neck! And when the blade reflected the light, I saw his eyes. Those eyes were filled with killing intent, truly killing intent!"

As Brother Wei spoke, his calves trembled uncontrollably.

It seemed that person had brought a very great impact upon him.

Ren Xiaoping looked at Brother Wei and said calmly, "Calm down first, it's nothing major. They are all humans, not those ghosts and demons. You are such a grown man, afraid of these things? At worst, you lose your head. What else can happen? Can they eat you?"

Brother Wei shook his head painfully and said nothing.

"Now I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer truthfully." Ren Xiaoping stood up, leaned close to Brother Wei, and said while placing one hand on the table.

"What questions did that person ask you?"

"Let me think first." Brother Wei leaned back in his chair, his hands hanging limply. After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "He asked who my superior was, where my superior went, and also... some information about the Gulf Family."

"Good." Xu Si quickly recorded these words. "Next, tell us how you answered him."

Like a machine, Brother Wei repeated everything he had just answered before.

"My superior is named Luo Wen. Because he received a mission from the Gulf Family, he ran to Xia Dao. I heard he went there to kill someone."

"The Gulf Family has close ties with mercenaries on Xia Dao and some wealthy people. On my end, I basically hold no major connections, only some small fry, while Luo Wen is the contact person for the entire Guanghe. That person asked for Luo Wen's contact information and then ran away."

"It seems he came prepared!" Ren Xiaoping feigned a cry of surprise. "Good, is there any other information?"

"No more, really no more. I have told you everything I know." Brother Wei clutched his head, nearly bursting into tears. "Officer, for someone like me, how many years will I be sentenced?"

Xu Si put down his pen and answered seriously, "The decision doesn't lie with us; you'd better listen to what the judge says."

"Beep-beep-beep!"

Inside the police office.

Xu Si fetched two cups of coffee, then turned and handed one to Ren Xiaoping, who was sitting at the desk.

The two of them flopped down onto their office chairs in unison, propped their feet on the desk, and calmly took a sip of coffee.

Because the heating supply was insufficient.

The room felt somewhat cold.

Steam rose from the coffee, drifting upward.

Ren Xiaoping gazed at the steam, sinking into thought.

"It's the Gulf family again. What do you think?" Xu Si took a sip of coffee and spoke first.

Ren Xiaoping sighed and said, "What else can we think? We'll just watch from a reclining position. Anyway, it's not our jurisdiction; someone will inevitably extract information about the Gulf family from that criminal. We don't need to lift a finger."

"The Gulf family, indeed a mysterious and terrifying organization. It's said that to this day, no one has truly found its headquarters; most undercover cops only manage to get into branch offices." Xu Si looked at the coffee in his hand and said slowly.

"Yes." Ren Xiaoping set the coffee on the desk, then supported his head with both hands and said, "I heard that before, an undercover cop with the codename 'Sailor' was discovered and died a terribly cruel death! Just hearing the description made several people go out and vomit."

Ren Xiaoping let out a bitter smile. "If there's ever a chance, I'd really like to try being an undercover cop once."

"Are you crazy?" Xu Si widened his eyes and said, "Going there is nine deaths to one life! You should know how dangerous it is!"

"I know! That's exactly why I want to do it," Ren Xiaoping said calmly.

"Someone has to do it. That person can be me, and should be me."

"It's just that there's no opportunity."

386. Guanghe's Number One Ren Xiaoping

"Your ambition is truly great," Xu Si praised. "Anyway, I wouldn't go. I have a wife and children; I can't leave them."

"Hahaha! You wife-slave!" Ren Xiaoping laughed loudly. "Anyway, that's right. Such a mission should be left to someone like me, with no ties or burdens. Besides, hardly anyone remembers me anyway, hahaha."

"Others might say that, but you, that won't do. As Guanghe's Number One Cop, your abilities are strong. Perhaps you don't even know it, but I can hear people talking about you whenever I go out," Xu Si said with a smile.

"Is that so? I didn't know my fame was that great," Ren Xiaoping laughed. "But that title probably doesn't carry much weight. Ever since I met Hearing Hua Ping, I've felt like a Bai Chi. In terms of ability and talent, I simply can't compare to him."

"How many Hearing Hua Pings are there in the whole world?" Xu Si laughed. "Having one Ren Xiaoping like you is already good enough."

Ren Xiaoping sighed, "If only I could surpass that guy, Hearing Hua Ping."

"It's not too late. After all, he has more experience than you. If you train for a few more years, you're bound to surpass him," Xu Si said with great certainty.

Ren Xiaoping, however, said very pessimistically, "I hope so."

Xu Si nodded, then sank back into silence, his hands holding the cup of coffee, his gaze lowered.
