Chapter 966: Stumbled Into a Dragnet!

~8 min read 1,473 words

After Bao Wenlong resigned from Jinjun Company, he started working at a small hotel owned by his family.

The hotel is located next to a college in Yanzhou, and since many students come to rent rooms every weekend, business is quite good.

Bao Wenlong grew tired of days spent licking blood off the edge of a blade and grew fond of a quiet life.

However, he knew in his heart that this state could change at any moment.

When one is in the underworld, one is not the master of one's own fate.

Those who can wash their hands of it and return to a clean life are few and far between.

At the entrance, two men wearing jackets walked in.

Bao Wenlong immediately became alert.

"Who are you people?"

The two men surrounded Bao Wenlong, blocking any possibility of his escape.

One of them took out an ID card, "I am a Police officer from Dayu County; there is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation."

Bao Wenlong's mother, leaning on a cane, heard the commotion and walked out from inside.

Bao Wenlong stood up quickly and pleaded in a low voice, "Don't let my mom find out."

"What's wrong?" Mother Bao asked.

"These are two of my friends; I'm going out to take care of some business."

The two plainclothes officers exchanged a glance and did not put handcuffs on Bao Wenlong.

Bao Wenlong cooperated and got into the car.

Only then did the Police put handcuffs on Bao Wenlong.

"Bao Wenlong, we suspect you are involved in the copper mine incident case."

Bao Wenlong took a deep breath, "You must have caught the wrong person!"

"Regardless of whether you are guilty for now, you are coming with us to a place!"

……

Hu Ying was met with a closed door at the County Party Committee Compound; she had originally wanted to see the County Party Secretary, but she didn't expect to receive news that Shi Yao was not in the county, but had gone to the Provincial Capital.

Hu Ying liked to let her imagination run wild, and her first reaction was whether Shi Yao was deliberately avoiding her.

At this moment, Hu Ying's mood was extremely depressed; she had originally thought that after seeing Shi Yao, she would have new hope, but the result was still an endless wait.

Hu Ying used her key to open the room door and locked it.

Suddenly, she felt movement in the hallway.

She hurriedly looked outside through the peephole.

She saw a man wearing a baseball cap passing by the door and walking upstairs.

Hu Ying felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat; she pressed her chest, finally calmed her mood with difficulty, poured a glass of cold water from the table, and gulped it down twice.

At this moment, a man walked out from inside the room and grabbed Hu Ying's neck from behind.

Hu Ying only felt she couldn't breathe; the teacup in her hand fell, smashed onto the floor, and instantly shattered into pieces.

She wanted to shout for help.

The man had long been prepared and covered her mouth and nose with a towel sprayed with chemicals.

Hu Ying struggled twice and gradually lost consciousness.

The man looked at the unconscious Hu Ying, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He walked to the room, opened the cabinets and drawers, stuffed all the cash and jewelry inside into his pockets, and then deliberately made the bed look messy.

This was to create the illusion of a home invasion robbery.

After setting everything up, he closed all the doors and windows in the room, walked into the kitchen, turned the valve of the gas tank, and then dragged Hu Ying onto the bed.

The man covered his nose, closed the door, and skillfully wiped the fingerprints off the doorknob with a cloth.

Just as he was about to go downstairs.

Suddenly!

A man wearing a baseball cap rushed out from upstairs.

The man Hu Ying had seen through the peephole earlier was actually a Police officer lurking in the shadows to protect her!

"Don't move!"

The man in the baseball cap pulled out a handgun!

The killer realized something was wrong!

It seemed he had stumbled into a dragnet.

He hurriedly ran downstairs.

At the same time, he pulled out the handgun at his waist.

The man in the baseball cap sensed his ferocity and pulled the trigger without mercy.

Immediately after, his arm and leg were hit by bullets in succession, and he collapsed to the ground.

There were also Police officers lying in wait downstairs; at this moment, they swarmed up and pressed him down firmly.

At the same time.

The man in the baseball cap took the lead and rushed into the room.

"Why does it smell so bad!"

"Hurry and open the windows, turn off the gas."

"Target found, she is in a state of coma."

"Hurry and send her to the hospital for emergency treatment."

……

A black sedan was lurking in the alley.

After Deputy Director Li Zhihe learned that the killer had been caught, he dialed Xing Zhijun's number.

"Secretary Xing, I'm reporting to you. We successfully stopped the killer, and the criminal suspect has also been detained."

Xing Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, "Is Bao Wenlong next to you?"

Li Zhihe nodded and said, "He is!"

"Give the phone to him; I want to have a few words with him."

Li Zhihe placed the mobile phone to Bao Wenlong's ear.

"Our leader wants to say a few words to you."

Bao Wenlong knew that his arrest was related to Jinjun Company.

Although he had already resigned, he would not betray Jinjun Company.

Although he had not studied much, he knew the meaning of the word loyalty.

At first, he was a bit puzzled as to why the police had brought him here.

By this time, he had already caught on.

The police wanted to tell him that their every move was under close surveillance.

Furthermore, they wanted him to see how Haibo had plotted and murdered Zhong Leng's wife!

"Bao Wenlong, I am DayuxianZhengfaweshuji Xing Zhijun. Do you have anything you want to say?"

Bao Wenlong said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to say!"

Xing Zhijun sighed, "Bao Wenlong, you are a smart man. You realized that Haibin was unreliable, so you chose to resign. But have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if Haibin finds out you have been caught by us?"

Bao Wenlong said in a deep voice, "Don't think about getting anything out of me; I won't say a word."

Xing Zhijun gave a bitter smile, "When Zhong Leng turned himself in, his attitude was much like yours. However, he died suddenly in the Interrogation Room, and not only that, his wife also became a target. If you still refuse to cooperate, the fate awaiting you will be the same as Zhong Leng's."

Bao Wenlong fell into silence.

He had originally thought that by resigning, he could get away.

But today, seeing Hu Ying nearly killed at the scene, his heart had been greatly shaken!

"Several days ago, we tried to bring Zhong Leng's daughter back to the country through the embassy. When we found her at the time, she was locked in a house and had been starved for several days. I can have my colleague show you the rescue video in a moment."

Bao Wenlong fell into silence.

He understood Haibin too well.

This guy was ruthless and vicious; there was nothing he wouldn't do.

They returned to the County Public Security Bureau.

Li Zhihe pulled up a video.

The girl in the video could be identified as Zhong Leng's daughter at a glance.

Her eyes were filled with terror, and her face was covered in scars.

When the staff tried to approach her, she immediately had a stress reaction, desperately shrinking backward.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't hit me!"

Seeing this scene, Bao Wenlong could no longer control the anger in his heart.

This guy Haibin was simply not fit to be a human being.

Zhong Leng had done so much dirty and exhausting work for Haibin back then, only to be killed by Haibin's poisonous scheme, leaving his wife and daughter in dire straits.

When the hare dies, the fox mourns.

His own fate would definitely be no better than Zhong Leng's.

"Bao Wenlong, we heard that your daughter is also abroad!"

"I give in! I plead guilty, but I hope you can help bring my daughter back from abroad."

Li Zhihe saw that Bao Wenlong's weakness was his family.

"Rest assured, as long as you plead guilty and testify against Haibin, we will help you as much as we can."
