Chapter 56: Mainly Defeated by the Baton

At Yin Qiuhong's order, the nine forest police immediately returned to the car to fetch their weapons.

To seize that set of photos, they came prepared; the car was loaded with riot shields and electric batons, but they took only the batons.

Clearly, as long as they had weapons, they were confident they could knock Lin Dongfan and company down.

This electric baton is made of high-quality ABS insulating hard rubber and metal; its main feature is being sturdy and durable, with stable discharge performance.

The tip of the electric baton is inlaid with several pairs of sharp metal electrodes, looking like a beast's fangs, intimidating.

Metal discharge strips surround the electrodes.

Once activated,

it can instantly release a strong electric shock.

As long as the voltage is adjusted within a safe range, it won't cause lethal danger, but it can paralyze a person on the ground, making them feel a pain like a poisonous needle sting mixed with a bit of strange fire burning.

Seeing the nine forest police charging with batons, Lin Dongfan, Yang Qing, and the others felt an urgent need to defecate but couldn't, a feeling of bowel distress.

Anyway, it was just uncomfortable, feeling oppressed and uneasy.

Yang Qing wanted to draw his gun as a warning.

As his hand just touched his waist, Lin Dongfan pressed it down, saying you can't just draw a gun; if it misfires, even if you're in the right you'll end up having to take off your hat and scram.

To avoid responsibility.

Lin Dongfan pointed at the nine forest police charging forward and shouted angrily: "Are you rebelling? As forest public security, you openly seize the special case team's evidence! You're assaulting law enforcement! This is……"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, attack!"

Before Lin Dongfan could finish, Yin Qiuhong issued another order.

Is Yin Qiuhong crazy?

In the view of Lin Dongfan, Yang Qing, and the others, Yin Qiuhong is indeed crazy; if she weren't, as deputy director of the Forest Public Security Bureau, how could she dare to openly use violence?

What nobody knew was that before setting out, Yin Qiuhong had been scolded by Xiao Yunce.

At that time, Xiao Yunce yelled over the phone: "Someone took a posthumous photo and you didn't even know—what are you doing as the project head? Hurry up and intercept them, or are you just waiting to eat?"

"Start the feast!"

Those two words made Yin Qiuhong realize most deeply: if we don't fight today, we're doomed; if we give it a go, we might still have a chance.

In short—once you draw the bow, there's no turning back.

Following Yin Qiuhong's order, the nine forest police wielding electric batons launched another siege on Lin Dongfan, Yang Qing, and the two other detectives.

The opposing side already outnumbered us, and on top of that they had weapons.

The result was without suspense.

The two detectives under Yang Qing were quickly taken down, both paralyzed by electric shocks on the ground; Lin Dongfan and Yang Qing were also knocked to the ground, their arms covered in bruises from blocking.

"Give it to me!"

Seeing the situation already under control, Yin Qiuhong reached out to one of the forest police, who immediately understood and handed over his electric baton.

A woman like Yin Qiuhong handles things swiftly and decisively, and when she gets ruthless, she's truly ruthless.

She pointed the baton at Lin Dongfan: "Where is that set of photos?"

"Yin Qiuhong, what's the difference between you and a madman now!" Lin Dongfan glared at her angrily, trying to get up from the ground.

Just as he propped himself up, Yin Qiuhong struck him down with the baton.

She knocked Lin Dongfan flat to the ground.

She gave him no chance to get up.

Yin Qiuhong pointed the baton at Lin Dongfan's head and coldly repeated her question: "Where is that set of photos? Don't force me to shock you……"

"The leader is here!"

The one who feinted was Jian Sining.

Just as Yin Qiuhong and the others turned their heads in surprise toward the intersection, Jian Sining lunged forward like a furious lioness, knocking the unprepared Yin Qiuhong to the ground.

She snatched the baton from Yin Qiuhong's hand.

Seeing Yin Qiuhong pinned by Jian Sining and unable to rise, with her weapon about to be taken, the nearby forest police officer directly jabbed his baton at Jian Sining's back.

As the current discharged, Jian Sining instantly trembled like a shrimp.

"Despicable! How dare you use a baton on a female comrade? It's outright……"

Yang Qing looked on with indignant contempt.

Before he finished speaking, a baton jabbed his cheek. Yang Qing glared, saw the opponent was a bruised forest officer, and immediately wisely covered his head and crouched.

Lying on the ground, Lin Dongfan likewise had no chance to retort, with two forest officers watching him.

Yin Qiuhong got up from the ground, brushed off the dust, and at that moment also saw the briefcase Jian Sining had left on the steps, as well as Lin Dongfan's coat.

"Go, fetch it."

Yin Qiuhong gave a casual glance, and the nearby forest police scrambled over to retrieve the briefcase.

Inside were several documents.

And a set of posthumous photos.

Yin Qiuhong didn't touch the documents inside, only taking out the set of photos to examine them closely.

Then she said to Lin Dongfan: "Thank you for handing over the evidence to us."

"This looks like robbery!" Lin Dongfan's face darkened with anger.

Yin Qiuhong scoffed lightly: "I'll wait for you to report me to the higher-ups." She then swaggered off, arrogant and lawless.

After they left, Yang Qing also got up from the ground.

Yang Qing pulled Lin Dongfan up and said: "Actually our performance wasn't bad—four against nine, we didn't lose ground; we mainly lost because of the batons."

"Such a shameless opinion, I fully agree."

Lin Dongfan touched the bruise on his face; although there was no bleeding, that truly painful feeling still made him gloomy—having been handsome all his life, he never expected to end up so embarrassed today.

It's fine if we got hurt; the key is we didn't even keep the evidence.

Jian Sining and the two other officers who were stunned by the police batons were still lying on the ground; it would probably take a few more minutes before they regained consciousness.

Yang Qing complained, "You shouldn't have stopped me from drawing my gun just now."

"You have a gun, they have guns too—do you want to get people killed?" Lin Dongfan said with a contemptuous smile, "Rash fool, you have no strategic thinking at all."

"Am I a rash fool?"

Yang Qing rolled their eyes, striking a pose of disdain as if to say, "Whoever is rash, knows it."

Lin Dongfan brushed off the dust on their buttocks and said, "This battle isn't over yet; split into two groups—hurry to the photo studio and get the negatives from Lan Jie, don't let Yin Qiuhong cut you off first, you must keep the negatives safe."

"Brother, this seems to be your affair," Yang Qing said, touching the bruise on their face, "I think I'm injured; at this point, I feel I should go to the hospital and rest for two days."

"What's mine is yours; your pain hurts me too—I feel it deeply." Lin Dongfan pointed to the bruise on their own face to show they really were in pain.

Yang Qing glanced askance and said, "I'm taking the blame for you—what are you doing?"

"I'll go back to file a complaint and call for reinforcements."

Having said that, Lin Dongfan couldn't be bothered to deal with Yang Qing any further.

Lin Dongfan walked over to Jian Sining, squatted down, and gave the unconscious Jian Sining a push, saying, "Dawn's broken, wake up…" No response, so Lin Dongfan shouted again, "Hey, your senior brother has been kidnapped!"

Still no response.

Lin Dongfan lifted Jian Sining's eyelids to have a look, couldn't make sense of it, then took her pulse, and suddenly realized they truly lacked the talent to be a doctor—they simply couldn't understand the pulse.

"Sigh… good thing you only weigh a hundred catties…"

Lin Dongfan simply lifted Jian Sining into their car.

Yang Qing craned their neck and shouted, "You pretentious prick, I still have two brothers lying over there—aren't you going to bring them back too?"

"Brother, you've overestimated my strength; I really can't move anything over a hundred catties." Saying that, Lin Dongfan already got into the car and shut the door.
