“It’s fine, just go to the hospital and wrap it up, it’s half ruined, but it’ll work. Captain, I almost died! It was really strange to say the least, I was already aimed, but the guy’s gun suddenly deflected just a little bit, otherwise it wouldn’t have been my ear that got blown off, it would have been my head. So, hey, don’t look at my broken ear, but actually, on the bright side, it was me who got my life back. Do you think it’s strange how it missed when it was already aimed at me?”
I pulled out of the alleyway, by this time there were already police setting up roadblocks, we had just made such a big scene, it would definitely be on the news tomorrow.
Fox was in the back seat looking after Arashi, who was barely breathing, Fox had done a simple bandage on him but didn’t know if he would make it.
I have little sympathy for the killer, if he survives he needs to face the law, if he dies it will be his comeuppance and deserved.
But right now I needed Arashi to live, he was an important lead for me.
We hadn’t driven more than two minutes when the policeman waved us to a halt, and without much time to explain to him I said hurriedly, “Brother, one of our own, in a hurry.”
“Who’s with your own people? Get off!”
He tapped the front of my car with his baton, signalling me to pull over, and Fox asked what was going on.
Where would I find time to pull over now? But there was a roadblock in front of me, and there was no way I could rush through it.
A dozen police officers, armed and ready to go, looked like they already knew we were the main characters in what had just happened and were now going to arrest us.
Fox cursed, “Stupid b*****d, where were they when Jiang Yunqing took away the real culprit just now?”
The fox cursed out what I wanted to say.
These cops, always coming out to cause trouble when they were least needed and disappearing without a trace when they were most needed.
Faced with so many dozen guns, it would be impossible for me to make a dash for the pa*s.
I held back my anger and said, “We’re on a special mission, now take the wounded to the hospital, don’t stand in the way.”
“Oh, Zhang Chao, you’re just a retired special forces soldier, think we don’t know that? Come down and put your hands on your head.”
“Damn, this wounded man is our important informant, you’re responsible for his death, huh?!” I was furious too.
“I’m responsible if he dies.”
Just at this moment, an incomparably light-hearted and arrogant voice came out from behind, Li Ge was full of villainy, walking at a pace that was almost six emotions away from recognition, standing behind the police, sneering at me smugly.
The fox asked me, “Who is this kid? Why do I feel so familiar.”
“A fool, the son of our mayor Li Liang, who likes my wife but can’t chase her, so he’s got a grudge against me.”
“He’s a policeman? I haven’t heard you mention that before.”
I laughed, “Coincidentally, he happens not to be a policeman. This stupid kid probably heard we were having a shootout here so he thought he’d caught me in the act and came over here with these cops to fox me, but he’s really just a spectator.”
Sometimes I feel sorry for Mayor Li Liang, such a good person, how could he have such a cowardly son, it’s really bad.
“Li Ge, why are you here too. You’re not in the business anymore, so your father found you a job at the police station, huh? But I heard that police officers have to take an entrance exam, right? Fox, you go back later and check, if not, we’ll report you tomorrow.”
The fox grinned, “Bullsh*t, of course not. The police is a proper state system, this grandson looks like a dodger, can he be a police officer?”
Li Ge was so proud of himself just now, but now his head was about to explode from my two or three words. If he wasn’t afraid of the weapons in our car, I think he would have rushed up to fight me.
“Li Gongzi, don’t pay any attention to him, you take the words of a suspect to heart, that’s too much to give him face. Zhang Chao, don’t have nothing to say, hurry up and come down. What you’re doing now is resisting the law, and you will be given an extra degree of guilt when the time comes. Li Gongzi is the mayor’s eldest son, why shouldn’t he be there?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, listen to you, grandson, grand grandson, people who don’t know think they are living in the old society. Mayor Li is just the mayor too, not the lord of our city of Tong. Li Ge you are also just the son of Li Liang, not the son of the city lord. Also, brother, you are now delaying a confidential mission.”
Li Ge smiled contemptuously and said, “What confidential mission can you have? Don’t put gold on your face.”
The few words I had just said had torn off all of Li Ge’s disguise and made him lose face. He was as mad as hell at this time, thinking only of biting me madly, not even thinking about how I could have mobilised the Snow Leopard Commandos if it wasn’t a cla*sified mission.
If it were normal, I would still be interested in playing with them, but not today, Arashi’s life was at stake and I absolutely could not let Arashi die.
I told the fox, “Bring me your papers.”
Snow Leopard and the others had their IDs with them at all times, just so that they could always identify themselves when they went on special missions.
I handed my ID to the policeman, who was skeptical, muttering under his breath, “What the heck.”
Li Ge didn’t dare to come to the front and only dared to watch from the back, he couldn’t see what was written on the ID, but his mouth said, “Oh, I wonder what is being used to fox the tiger.”
This man had been completely controlled by anger in his brain, and didn’t think about it, loaded with guns, if I really didn’t have a special mission in mind, how dare I show this document to the police, and if I had really committed a crime, why did I stay here to be examined?
The policeman took one look at it and closed it up and gave it back to me, adding, “Sorry, we still have to check it by phone.”
“I’m in a hurry to save lives here, so I’ll tell you what, you let my men drive off first and I’ll stay for your vetting process.”
“Good.”
The policeman, who by the look of his shoulder patch should be the captain, had already made up his mind, and the fox’s identification would show that what I said was true. He didn’t dare let me go, but he didn’t dare delay our mission either, and my offer solved the dilemma perfectly for him.
I got out of the car and instructed the fox to make sure to find Zhao Zichen.
The fox took off, and when I turned around, I saw Li Ge with a blazing fire in his eyes, looking at me arrogantly.
He was so arrogant that he had ignored the police standing right around him and said to me through gritted teeth, “I don’t care what your background is, I’ll get you killed this time.”
