Chapter 574

The few exchanged glances, then one stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, who are you?"

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Ren Xiaoping was somewhat surprised; after all, he was the number one police officer within Guanghe!

How could he have no reputation at all?

Who would have thought.

The few shook their heads one after another, saying, "Don't know him."

One even spoke arrogantly, "Who are you, kid?"

Ren Xiaoping was speechless for a moment. "You can recognize Hua Ping, but you can't recognize me?"

"Can't recognize you; really have no impression at all!" someone immediately said.

The expression on Ren Xiaoping's face gradually shifted from anger to helplessness; finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it, you should leave quickly. If that bastard discovers you, you'll surely get a scolding."

"Then why can you eavesdrop here?" someone complained.

Ren Xiaoping looked at him without speaking, then walked straight toward the door.

Seeing this, the crowd made way.

Then.

Amidst their shocked gazes.

Ren Xiaoping directly pulled open the large door; the meeting voices inside stopped abruptly.

"How about it? Your brother has status, right?" Ren Xiaoping flashed a middle finger at the stunned crowd, then slowly walked into the conference hall.

Hua Ping watched Ren Xiaoping enter, frowned, then relaxed.

Having his meeting interrupted was something Hua Ping could not tolerate.

But remembering that Ren Xiaoping was qualified to attend this meeting, he tacitly accepted his presence.

"Come in and find a seat," Hua Ping said flatly to Ren Xiaoping.

Ren Xiaoping nodded, then turned to look at the few police officers at the door, flashed a brilliant smile, and found a seat.

The few at the door stood like wooden chickens.

Hua Ping looked at the people at the door and shouted loudly, "You lot, close the door and go do your jobs; don't eavesdrop here!"

The few quickly reacted, then said, "Oh oh oh! Okay okay!"

Saying that.

They closed the large door.

"Whoa, he actually went in!" a small police officer said.

"Who is he anyway! Why have I never seen him before!"

"I heard," another tall officer said, "Master told me he once accidentally interrupted Hua Ping's meeting and got scolded black and blue. Moreover, people inside are spreading that disturbing Hua Ping's meeting is a very serious matter; how can this person be fine?"

"Who knows?" someone shrugged indifferently. "Maybe he's Hua Ping's relative."

"Oh! That speculation is quite reasonable!" someone immediately affirmed.

Inside the meeting room.

Hua Ping did not forget his train of thought due to the sudden change.

Looking at the people seated below, he said, "Regarding Ning Chen's matter, you must keep it confidential; absolutely do not reveal it, and this is also for your own safety."

"Captain Hua! Then how can we find him?" Tang Xin, seated, raised her hand and asked.

Hua Ping did not hesitate: "Right now, we cannot lock onto Ning Chen through the positioning system. Moreover, even the fact that we tracked him to Xia Dao was because he revealed a small flaw, and his live broadcast content also tells us where he is."

"Unfortunately, he hasn't been live recently. I just received news that, just now, Ning Chen broadcasted for a while in the natural scenic area of the Beilin region, then quickly left Beilin and went offline." Hua Ping glanced around, saw Ren Xiaoping listening intently, and nodded in satisfaction.

"We likewise cannot lock the location, so we can only conduct a large-scale manpower search. The places he can go are limited; we can check them one by one."

421. Analysis situation inside the meeting.

Hearing Hua Ping's words.

Immediately someone said.

"In that case, won't the search time be pushed back significantly, and in Xia Dao, many places do not have surveillance cameras installed?"

Hua Ping tapped the table twice, pondering, "With your Xia Dao police force, you should be able to investigate the entire city center, right?"

Tan Tong, director of the Xia Dao Police Bureau, stood up and said, "That is no problem, but I fear alerting the snake; if that Ning Chen hears even a slight sound and escapes, what then?"

Hua Ping was silent for a moment, then immediately continued, "Here is the plan: we will tackle this on two fronts. One group will investigate covertly within the city, focusing on hotels and other lodging areas; the other group will follow me to investigate the mercenary band lurking within Xia Dao."

"So it finally comes up to the mercenary band..." Tan Tong's heart instantly grew cold. Regarding news of the mercenary band, he had only just received it. With such a group appearing within Xia Dao's territory, and he being the director of the Xia Dao Police Bureau, he certainly bore responsibility.

Of course.

Those old fellows could not escape either.

This matter.

If spoken of as small, it is small.

But if spoken of as large, then it is truly troublesome.

"Good! We will allocate half our efforts to investigate the mercenary band matter. However, what does this have to do with Ning Chen?" Tan Tong said thus.

After glancing at Ren Xiaoping, Hua Ping slowly said, "According to the information we obtained, Ning Chen has been in conflict with the Haiwan family, and their blood contract has also been issued. With the blood contract in place, Ning Chen and the Haiwan family are in a state of life-or-death struggle."

"And this time, upon learning that Ning Chen would come to Xia Dao, the Haiwan family discussed matters with the mercenaries here in advance. The gist was to hire them to kill Ning Chen in order to obtain the bounty."

Hua Ping stated with absolute certainty, "This means that if we can find the mercenary band, it is equivalent to finding half of Ning Chen."

"But in that case, a gunfight will surely occur, right?" After hearing Hua Ping's words, someone raised his hand and said, "I am afraid of death; for this mission, may I withdraw?"

Hearing this person's words.

Everyone's gaze turned squarely to him, then shifted to Hua Ping.

If a gunfight truly occurs, casualties will undoubtedly result.

All police officers present face the risk of death.

So.

It is reasonable for someone who does not want to die to wish to withdraw.

Hearing Hua Ping looked at him and said, "Very well. If the contents of this meeting are not leaked, you may leave."

"Good!" The speaker rose quickly and left the scene with great alacrity.

The great door opened.

The few people who had been standing outside just now had learned their lesson this time.

They all stuck to the positions along the walls, so that Hearing Hua Ping would not spot them.

After that person walked out the door, he first glanced around in surprise, and only then departed.

"Close the door," Hearing Hua Ping shouted to those outside.

Very quickly.

A hand reached out, and with a speed that left no time to cover a bell-ringing thief, shut the door.

Hearing Hua Ping looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "For this operation, I cannot guarantee that none of you will experience a firefight, nor can I guarantee that all of you will return alive; however, for this mission, I will certainly do my utmost to protect you."

"Moreover, our mission is reconnaissance, not direct engagement. If a firefight or other such incidents do occur, I will request the most professional special forces to complete the mission."

Hearing Hearing Hua Ping's words.

The hearts of the crowd, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly began to settle.

In this case, it was still acceptable.

If a firefight truly did occur, they feared they could not even aim a pistol properly.

Ren Xiaoping raised his hand and said, "Why do we not proceed directly to a cull? Would it not be better to toss a few bombs over there?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Yes, they were illegal mercenaries to begin with, and moreover, they were now hiding within the country's borders.

This could also be considered an illegal invasion of national territory.

Hearing Hua Ping looked at Ren Xiaoping and said, "We cannot do that; we can still negotiate with the other side."

"Are you perhaps a saint?" Ren Xiaoping frowned and looked at Hearing Hua Ping, speaking without any courtesy.

To such an obvious verbal attack.

Everyone was stunned, their gazes frantically switching back and forth between Ren Xiaoping and Hearing Hua Ping.

"How dare he speak to Hearing Hua Ping like that?"

"Who is this guy! He's been acting arrogant since he first walked in; now that he speaks to Hearing Hua Ping like this, isn't he even more arrogant?"

"He's truly brave! For such words to spring from his mouth, he is truly a rash fool!" someone muttered.

Hearing the word "saint."

Hearing Hua Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you say I am a saint, then I am a saint."
