Chapter 669: That Shot

He directly pushed the problem to Cheng Zheng.

Cheng Weiji was left dumbfounded. “You…”

That must be hatred.

For so many years, this child had hated him.

Cheng Weiji felt enraged but he couldn’t voice this out with so many men listening on.

“Fine, let him talk to me.”

Cheng Zheng was less than three steps away from Bai Muchuan.

He could hear very clearly what his dad had said.

“You don’t have to say anything. This is my decision.”

“Cheng Zheng!” Cheng Weiji was shouting, seemingly angered to the extreme. “Don’t be stubborn. This is not your problem. You have to obey your superior’s instructions…”

He’s trying to use his authority huh?

Bai Muchuan smiled.

Cheng Zheng remained nonchalant. “What if I disobey?”

Disobey?

What could he do if Cheng Zheng disobeyed his command?

There was nothing he could do.

Cheng Weiji was not there. If he could control them, he wouldn’t have sought Lu Jianming’s help to get Bai Muchuan.

“Son…” Cheng Weiji spoke in a lower volume and calmer tone. “Listen to dad, alright? Don’t risk this. This is something that concerns your life. I know that you want to do something as a police officer…”

“No!” Cheng Zheng interrupted him. “I didn’t do it for the police.”

“…”

This was so awkward!

Cheng Weiji was gnashing his teeth in anger. He squeezed out every word from his mouth, trying to control his fury. “Then why are you doing this? Is this worth it?”

Cheng Zheng laughed. “Just treat it as me repaying my debt.”

Debt?

Bai Muchuan turned grim at that instant.

There was no more sound from the walkie-talkie.

Cheng Zheng passed back the walkie-talkie and walked to Bai Muchuan. No one else said another word. Bai Muchuan’s eyes followed Cheng Zheng. He watched him walk towards the ladder and used the megaphone to talk to Ye Lun.

“Cheng Zheng and Houzi are now over there. Ye Lun, you can release her now.”

“There’s no hurry.” Ye Lun chuckled. “You’re the police. You have the absolute advantage when it comes to force. If I release her now, that would mean I’m heading toward my doom. I believe that with Captain Bai’s capability, I won’t be able to get away if I don’t make good on my promise…”

“Hmph!” Bai Muchuan said, “Cut your nonsense and release her now.”

“Tch, tch, tch, Captain Bai’s already impatient? I’ve said it earlier. Cheng Zheng must arrive here first, only then I will release Xiang Wan—”

At this moment, Cheng Zheng had arrived at the ladder.

As for Xiang Wan, she was still at the deck of the larger boat.

The wind howled across the sea and three feet high waves could be seen.

The weather was worse than earlier.

Ye Lun watched the weather with a smirk on his face. “There’s another thing that I need to inform Captain Bai. The bomb on Teacher Xiang’s waist is the most delicate thing in the world today. An average bomb specialist wouldn’t be able to dismantle it – Oh, the detonator is in my hands. If I can’t get out of here smoothly today, she’d then join me in death.”

“… Shameless!”

“It’s just for self-protection.”

Ye Lun repeated his earlier words.

As Xiang Wan listened, she turned her head and took a deep look at him.

It was evident that this person severely lacked a sense of security.

He knew very well that just one wrong step could be fatal for him.

So, he had to make sure he had a chance to get away for every decision he made.

Moreover, although this was a deal that was absolutely unfair, the police had to abide by his terms—

This was because Ye Lun was not a gentleman but a scoundrel.

Anyone who struck a deal with a scoundrel would suffer.

As Xiang Wan contemplated over this, she took a step toward him. “Untie me.”

Ye Lun responded, “Mm?”

He showed a straight face where Xiang Wan frowned at him and looked at the ladder. “This ladder is too narrow. I’ve never been to the sea before. I’m scared… My hands are tied and I will have a problem balancing myself. What if I fall into the sea?”

Ye Lun sneered. “That will be Captain Bai’s problem.”

“I have a bomb on me. Do you think that I’ll misbehave? Or are you really so timid that you’re scared of a woman who could do nothing at all?”

She was trying to spite him.

Ye Lun knew that.

But at that moment, he actually laughed.

“Teacher Xiang, I actually tied your hands for your own good. After all, the bomb doesn’t differentiate between people. I’ll be worried if you misbehave… It will be a pity if you’re blown into pieces!”

Xiang Wan looked at him coldly. “Don’t worry. I don’t want to die.”

The bomb was strapped to her and she was no bomb specialist. Furthermore, the detonator was in the hands of Ye Lun.

Of course she wouldn’t do anything to risk her life—

Ye Lun tilted his head towards his henchmen. “Untie her.”

…

The ladder was tilted.

Cheng Zheng was being escorted by Houzi while Xiang Wan was still at the deck.

The light in the night was dim. Although they were near to each other, they couldn’t see each other clearly at all.

Cheng Zheng walked very slowly and carefully.

Houzi got irritated and gave him a push at the back. “D*mn! Move faster.”

Cheng Zheng staggered a few steps forward and arrived at the deck. He raised his hands up slowly. “Ye Lun, you can let Xiang Wan go now.”

Ye Lun tilted his head and beckoned to him with a finger. “Come! Come here!”

Cheng Zheng moved slowly.

One step, two steps.

And then he stopped.

“Let her go now. I don’t have a good temper. If you continue being like this, I will run out of patience.”

Ye Lun was taken aback for a moment before he chortled. “Fine, Captain Cheng’s a straightforward person.”

He exchanged glances with two of his henchmen who moved away from Xiang Wan. “Teacher Xiang,” he said, “you may go now.”

Xiang Wan had some difficulty breathing as the bomb was strapped tightly onto her waist. She took a glance at Cheng Zheng then at the ladder. She was so nervous that her limbs became stiff.

“Captain Cheng…”

“Just go!” Cheng Zheng urged.

As she headed to the ladder, she walked past Cheng Zheng.

The distance between each other was less than five centimeters.

Xiang Wan didn’t have her coat with her and she suddenly sneezed—

Boom! There was a loud noise coming from behind. A few shadowy figures appeared like lightning.

“Don’t move! Put your hands on your head—”

It was Quan Shaoteng, who used this trick twice.

Just like how he had overtaken the smaller boat earlier, while Bai Muchuan kept Ye Lun busy, he and his team secretly went into the water and boarded the enemy’s boat… Ye Lun had underestimated the police’s capability. The few henchmen he had on the boat was no match to Quan Shaoteng and his team. They had been trained on this type of mission countless times when they were still in Red Thorn. Subduing a bunch of outlaws was similar to chopping some cabbage, there was no stress at all.

However, Ye Lun had a way out of this situation.

It was the bomb on Xiang Wan.

Quan Shaoteng felt that with the gun pointing at him, he wouldn’t risk it.

Nonetheless, he was an outlaw to the core.

Almost instantly, Xiang Wan saw that his fingers were moving—

It was the detonator he was holding.

It must be the detonator.

He had just said so earlier.

Boom! Xiang Wan’s mind instantly went blank.

Without hesitation, without any thoughts, she totally reacted according to her reflexes and dashed toward Houzi like an arrow. She took his wrist and pointed the gun at Ye Lun while everyone was still stupefied by the appearance of the police—

And fired!

Bang!

A gunshot was fired.

Then the whole world became quiet.

Ye Lun’s eyes were wide-open as he stared unbelievably at Xiang Wan and slowly collapsed—

…
