Chapter 2802

Yin Xuan couldn't swim at all, not even dog paddle, let alone in the open sea—even in a swimming pool, if he could flail two meters, that would break his own world record.

Moreover, with the ship's height plus the container's height, it looked like over twenty meters. For a landlubber like him who knew nothing about swimming, the sea surface was like concrete—if he jumped in, not only would he fail to break his own record, but just catching one last glimpse of the sun would be thanks to his recently deceased great-grandmother's blessing.

"If one life jacket isn't enough, I can give you two." The crew member smiled at Yin Xuan, mockery clear: "Young Master Yin, rest assured, we won't stop you. If you're afraid to jump and need help, we'll gladly lend a hand—just a gentle push will do."

Only now did Yin Xuan finally understand: these people sending him to Africa to mine weren't negotiating—they meant it. What the hell kind of situation is this? Sending him to Africa to mine is worse than just kidnapping him for ransom.

"My name is Yin Xuan. My father is Yin Mingsheng. My grandfather is Yin Zongquan." Yin Xuan said somewhat excitedly: "How much money do you want? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? One million? Two million? Name your price—I won't haggle."

Another crew member paced beside Yin Xuan, tone flat: "Young Master Yin, you really ought to dig the diarrhea out of your head. Why can't you think clearly? If we're doing this for money, why don't we kidnap rich people instead of taking a bigger risk grabbing you?"

"Are you idiots or what?" Yin Xuan roared: "No matter who's behind you, you're doing this for money, aren't you? He pays you how much? I'll pay you double."

"Ah!" The crew member sighed, and the sigh carried pity: "Young Master Yin, once you're in Africa, work hard—maybe you'll still have a day to go home."

The big-bearded man laughed harshly, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped Yin Xuan hard on the back of the head. The blow sent him staggering forward a few steps, nearly falling into the sea.

Yin Xuan looked down at the churning sea below, his legs went weak with fear, he summoned all his strength to step back two paces, then flopped down with a plop, sitting limp.

"You damn..." The crew member kicked the big-bearded man in the butt: "Can't you use some restraint? He didn't even dig a day's worth of ore before dying—how are we supposed to explain that to the boss?"

The big-bearded man jumped aside, nursing his butt: "I didn't even use that much force."

"Alright!" Another crew member checked his watch: "You guys haven't had a decent meal in days—I'll go to the cafeteria and get you something good to eat."

After saying that, he glanced at Yin Xuan still slumped there, shook his head slightly: "The Yin family can raise their descendants into useless sacks—no wonder Zhou Andong presses their heads into the dirt and grinds them."

Majuqiao!

Zhao Hong and Li Feng led people in pushing open the gate of Tianma Lake Song and Dance Hall, Laoqi and a few thugs sat in the innermost booth playing poker, but Wang Hu wasn't there.

As they entered, Laoqi and the few little thugs turned to look, Laoqi smiled and said: "Officer Li, you're bringing so many people again for a spot check? But you're a bit early—peak hours haven't started yet."

Li Feng smiled as he walked over, glanced at the cards on the table and a pile of loose change: "Where's Wang Hu? I need to see him about something."

Laoqi didn't think much, pointed to the back door: "In the back office."

Li Feng nodded: "You guys keep playing—I'll go back to find Wang Hu."

Li Feng gave Zhao Hong a look, Zhao Hong shook his head slightly: "Officer Li, you take your people to see Wang Hu—I'll watch them play a while longer."

"Alright!" Li Feng responded, he didn't bring the precinct's patrol officers, but nodded at the three criminal investigators.

The three criminal investigators followed Li Feng to the backyard, Li Feng knew this place well, went straight to the door of Wang Hu's office.

Li Feng gestured to the three criminal investigators, one nodded, reached into his waistband, drew his gun, and pressed his back tightly against the wall beside the door. Then Li Feng raised his hand and knocked—he didn't wait for a reply, just reached out and shoved the door open.

Wang Hu sat in a wide boss's chair, feet propped on the desk, a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he spoke on the phone: "Tooth Brother, just put your mind at ease—this is what Young Master Yin ordered, I wouldn't dare slack off, just these few days—you just watch the news."

The other end snorted: "I don't care how you do it, but the tail must be swept clean—once we're caught, none of us can get away."

Wang Hu said with killing intent in his tone: "I've already arranged it—whoever's involved, I'll make them shut their mouths forever."

"Good!" The other side said satisfied: "To achieve great things, you need this kind of thunderous method. As long as Young Master Yin is pleased, your rise to fame and fortune, Wang Hu, is just around the corner."

"Papapap!" A light knocking sounded—before Wang Hu could speak, the door was pushed open. Seeing it was Li Feng who entered, his face changed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "Tooth Brother, I've got something here—I'll hang up first."

Without waiting for Tooth Brother's reply, Wang Hu slapped the phone down, stood up, and laughed heartily as he came forward: "Officer Li, what brings you here today? Got a case you need my help with, or did the higher-ups move again and you're here for an inspection?"

Li Feng smiled and extended his hand: "There's a case I need Brother Hu's help with."

Wang Hu had no guard up—mainly because he hadn't made a move yet, he never imagined Liu Wenku would betray them so thoroughly, even selling the minivan he'd bought just days ago.

At the exact moment Wang Hu's hand and Li Feng's hand clasped together, Li Feng jerked hard, then twisted his body. Caught off guard, Wang Hu lost his footing, staggered, and flopped face-down with a plop.

Li Feng kept hold of Wang Hu's hand, didn't release it, but twisted it behind his back, then drove his knee hard into Wang Hu's lower back—Wang Hu screamed in pain. The nearby criminal investigator swiftly produced handcuffs, clicked them shut on Wang Hu's twisted wrists.

"Li Feng!" Wang Hu roared: "What the hell are you doing, you bastard—believe it or not, I'll flay you alive with one sentence..."

The criminal investigator showed no mercy to Wang Hu, slammed a heavy fist into his soft ribs. Wang Hu's eyes rolled violently upward, his roar cut off abruptly. He opened his mouth wide, couldn't make a sound, just sucked in air desperately.

"Old Zheng!" The criminal investigator shouted outward: "Wang Hu's been caught—go tell Captain Zhao, we can move now."
