I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 266 - 179: Where Is the Item?
They planned to send someone to bring Chengcheng back, but Chengcheng's position was right in the crossfire zone between the two sides. Anyone who went in would be hit by enemy fire. They tried several times but couldn't break through, and had to give up.
After another ten minutes, Manager Wen finally arrived with reinforcements.
The people from Alpha Park heard the roar of cars and knew the game was over. They had no chance to complete the mission and could only helplessly say, "Let's retreat!"
Chata saw that Manager Wen and his group had finally arrived, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Once his body relaxed, he suddenly felt pain all over.
Chengcheng, who had just narrowly escaped death, was so furious when he saw the Alpha Park people running away that he almost cursed out loud.
Seeing that Manager Wen and Manager Wu had already gotten out of their car, Chengcheng was so scared he turned around and ran.
If he were caught and taken back to the park by Manager Wu, he would rather die than live.
"Gangzi, grab him."
Manager Wen saw Chengcheng trying to run, and immediately had Li Xiang chase after him.
"Yes."
Even in the jungle, Li Xiang's speed didn't slow down much. He quickly caught up with Chengcheng, kicked him down, and captured him.
"Spare me, please spare me."
Electric scammers are not worthy of sympathy, as many families have been cheated out of everything, drowned in debt. Li Xiang showed no mercy to him.
While capturing him, Li Xiang suddenly felt a small object in Chengcheng's pocket. Utilizing his grandmaster-level stealing skill, Li Xiang casually stole it without anyone noticing. It was a USB drive.
Li Xiang didn't make a sound and hid the USB drive on himself.
At this moment, other gunmen had also arrived, grabbing Chengcheng and bringing him before the managers.
Chata was also standing behind Manager Wen by this time. After finishing a call, Manager Wu walked up to Chengcheng and kicked him, asking, "Where's the item?"
"Manager Wu, I was wrong, please spare me this time. I won't dare anymore."
"Spare you? You know the consequences of betraying the park. Hand over the item and die quickly."
"Old Wu, what's the point of talking to him. Chata, go ahead and search him," Manager Wen directly ordered Chata to search Chengcheng's body.
Seeing Chata approaching, Chengcheng's body trembled, and his legs could not help but shake. He knew that if the USB drive was found, he would rather be dead than alive.
The park's cruel methods, he knew better than anyone. He originally thought he could sell the contents of the USB drive for a good price and escape the park to return home, but in the end, he hadn't succeeded.
After searching Chengcheng for a while, Chata shook his head and reported to Manager Wen, "Nothing."
"What? Nothing? Could it be that they got their hands on the item?"
"Impossible. We chased them hard, and they had no chance to meet up. They couldn't have gotten it. The car just flipped; it might be in the car. I'll take people to search for it."
"Hurry."
Chata took some people and ran to the spot where the car had flipped and started searching carefully.
Manager Wu, on the other hand, grabbed the electric baton Li Xiang had just brought over from the car and came up to Chengcheng, asking, "Where is the item?"
"I... I don't know either. It was just in my pocket, Manager Wu. Considering my years of service, even if I haven't achieved much, I've worked hard. Just spare me this one... ah~"
Before he could finish his plea, Manager Wu hit him with the electric baton.
"Manager Wen, we've searched everywhere, and there's nothing."
At this moment, Chata also returned, indicating nothing was found.
"Then where did the item go?"
Manager Wen crouched in front of the half-dead from electrocution Chengcheng and asked, "Speak, where is the item? Who did you contact after you got out?"
However, at this moment, Chengcheng moved his lips but couldn't make a sound.
Just then, Chata, standing to the side, suddenly pointed at Li Xiang and said, "Manager Wen, the last person to have contact with Chengcheng was him."
Li Xiang didn't expect Chata to point the finger at him at this moment.
But, no denying it, this guy was really smart, correctly guessing that Li Xiang had taken the USB drive. But there was no way he could admit he had it because he also wanted to know what was inside the USB drive that made everyone so anxious.
"Why accuse me? Didn't you have contact with him too? You saw it, Manager Wen. I ran to catch him under your orders. How should I know what he had on him?"
Manager Wen stood up, frowned, and said to Li Xiang, "This is a serious matter, and the item must be recovered. That's the rule of the park. Let Chata search you to clear your name."
Compared to Li Xiang, he trusted Chata more, as Chata had been with him for many years.
Seeing Manager Wen's stance, Li Xiang knew that getting searched by Chata was unavoidable. But most importantly, he currently had the USB drive on him. It was too late to take it out now.
Watching as Chata walked over, Li Xiang took a step back to buy time and said, "Wait a moment."
Seeing Li Xiang's expression, Chata thought he had guessed right, which made him quite pleased: "What? You want to confess?"
Li Xiang's arrival had put a lot of pressure on him, especially in this incident. His own failure highlighted Li Xiang's prowess, making him appear as Li Xiang's stepping-stone, something he was unwilling to accept. If he allowed it, his position would be quickly surpassed or even replaced.
So as long as there was a chance to slander the other party, he certainly wouldn't let it go.
"What do I have to confess? I just want to ask the two managers if what they said in the car still counts?"
Manager Wu paused. What he said at the time was just a desperate, last-ditch effort under pressure.
He didn't take it seriously. Even if they were to offer twenty thousand, Li Xiang would need the luck to get back alive.
But who would have thought, Li Xiang indeed completed the mission. Although the item wasn't found, he did capture the person, so Manager Wu nodded and said, "What I said with Manager Wen naturally counts. Once we return to the park, I'll immediately transfer you twenty-thousand."
"I'll also give you ten thousand," Manager Wen added, "provided you didn't take the item."
The managers' words left everyone present stunned.
They all looked at the managers, wanting to confirm if they had heard correctly.
Capturing the person could earn a thirty-thousand-dollar reward from the park's two major managers. This money was too easily earned.
However, everyone knew the bigger the storm, the higher the risk, and wealth comes hand in hand with high risks. They almost got wrapped up like dumplings, narrowly escaped death here, clearly not having what it takes to get that thirty thousand.
"I don't even know what the item is, so how could I have taken it? You're not going to search? Then come on."
Li Xiang, holding his gun, spread his hands, signaling Chata to come search.
The reason he delayed was to divert everyone's attention.
When Chata accused him, everyone focused on him. Even with a grandmaster-level stealing skill, it was hard to transfer the USB drive under everyone's watchful eyes.
Helplessly, he had to distract everyone, shifting focus onto the two managers. When everyone looked their way, he nonchalantly transferred the USB drive.
Currently, the USB drive was hidden in the hand holding the gun.
Chata came over, patting Li Xiang all over to see if there were any foreign objects, checking all the pockets.
"Find anything?"
Li Xiang gave him a provocative look, making Chata furious, and searched him even more thoroughly.
"Ah~"
Suddenly, Chata's hand jerked back, as if shocked by electricity, and when he looked closely, he found a big cut on his right index finger, the cut was very sharp: "What do you have on you?"
Li Xiang didn't expect Chata to actually feel the blade he had hidden. It was his bad luck, so he took out the blade without a hint of apology and said, "Oh, sorry, forgot to tell you, I'm used to carrying a blade."
"You did it on purpose!"
Chata, humiliated in front of everyone, was angry and offended, his hatred for Li Xiang growing even more.
