“No.” I was actually wondering why Liu Rong hadn’t called the police when he had been beaten so badly by me and the fox, and the woman beside him had obviously recognised me.
“Then it’s all right, Young Master.”
Hanging up the phone, I transferred the money back to the manager of Juyen Garden.
Meanwhile, I drove to the bank, took out a few million in cash and carried it back home in my backpack.
The struggle between Liu Rong and Han Kun had reached a fever pitch, and both of them were determined to die, so maybe I would still be involved, and there was a chance that the cards would freeze up.
I would like to tell Han Kun to forget about it, his body is in such a state, even if he defeats Liu Rong and buys Liu Rong’s shareholding, so what? Can he renew his life? But Han Kun didn’t listen to me at all and was having a great time fighting with Liu Rong.
The only thing I can do is to ask Meng Meng to hide Chu Xiaoxiao’s account well so that Liu Rong doesn’t find out the real balance in Chu Xiaoxiao’s account.
Of course, I was not doing this to help Han Kun, I was only doing it to help Lin Yue’er, who had been victimised so badly by Liu Rong, and I was taking revenge for Lin Yue’er.
After I withdrew the money, I returned to the villa and Cai Xiaobing told me that He Bi was back and wanted to see me.
“I’m surprised he didn’t run away?” I asked, amazed.
“Yeah, I’m surprised too. I’ve never wanted to let someone run in my life, and for the first time in my life, I wanted to and this guy didn’t.”
I laughed bitterly for I was thinking the same thing as Cai Xiaobing.
He Bei was in the living room, sitting upright, and Meng Meng and Fox were also sitting there, looking like they were waiting for me.
“Zhang Chao, I told you that if you saved Jiang Yang, I would tell you the identity of the owner of the gun trafficking syndicate.” He Bi seemed puzzled, “But I waited for you at the hospital for a long time, and you didn’t come to me.”
Embarra*sed, I threw the backpack in my hand to the ground.
Old Yu said curiously, “Captain, this backpack is too ugly for you. You’re a rich man now, can’t you have better taste? What’s in this bulging bag?”
I took a bottle of water from the fridge and let him see for himself as I drank it.
Old Yu unzipped it and looked at it, then closed it again, muttering, “Hahaha, it’s a few million yuan, sorry.”
I really didn’t expect He Bi to come to me on his own, and when he told me that last night, I didn’t take it to heart, because someone in his position couldn’t possibly have access to someone that high up in the crime syndicate.
This crime syndicate has a very strict hierarchy and shouldn’t have made such a big mistake.
Seeing that I didn’t care at all, He Bei got a bit anxious.
“Do you think I’m not telling the truth?” He Bi asked me, “Zhang Chao, I have a batch of the latest guns in my possession. Because my sales business has been doing well, the company let me resell this batch of guns. Now since I have defected from the company, they will definitely want this batch of guns back very much. Taking this opportunity, maybe we can get the real boss behind the company to reveal himself.”
He said this, giving some value to his words and sounding as if they were much more reasonable.
“What model?” I said, “Your guns are made in small underground workshops with substandard lathes and materials, what new models can you make? Besides, how many of them could be sold with just you distributing them like this, and if there really are new guns, they must be sold in liaison with terrorists abroad.”
I cut right through my suspicions.
There were more gun trafficking cases at the border than in Tong City, and we Snow Leopards were all familiar with the characteristics of such cases.
This time the Snow Leopards would take it so seriously only because the gun trafficking case would appear in a non-border city like Tong City, if it happened at the border, I am afraid even the Snow Leopards would not be deployed.
He Bi was dumbfounded by my question and turned red, unable to say anything.
In fact, I had no intention of asking anything out of He Bi’s mouth. I intended to let him go because he had saved Jiang Yang’s life.
He Bi squeezed the handle of the chair and said excitedly, “So, you don’t believe me. I can tell you where the new batch of guns are, and when you see them, you will know that I am telling the truth.”
Meng Meng and the others looked at each other, somewhat confused by the current situation, as I should have interrogated He Bi, but now it was the other way round, He Bi had to tell me, and I was unwilling to listen.
“Captain, why don’t you listen to it first?” Old Li said with a cigarette in his mouth.
Everyone looked at me differently, and I really had no choice but to say, “Think it over, as long as you talk, the crime syndicate will never let you live again. And there are many other ways for us to get down to the case.”
He Bi froze for a moment and said, “So you are worried about me.”
I coughed dryly, “Don’t talk nonsense, there are so many special forces here, do you want me to be court-martialled later? I’m just advising you to think twice.”
Despite what I said, everyone still had an “I know” smile on their faces, knowing that I was actually trying to let He Bi off the hook.
I wasn’t worried that someone here would take advantage of this, as all my trusted brothers were here and couldn’t possibly betray me.
He said, “You don’t have to worry. If I don’t tell them, won’t they silence me? I’m a man of my word, but they threatened me with my students. I have also figured out that it was my bad, I was greedy for money and that’s why I sold my life for this company. This is a mistake I made and I can’t let my students pay the debt. But they won’t let me go unless they are all caught. Zhang Chao, I’m not helping you at all, I’m helping myself.”
He Bi was adamant, not allowing me to retort.
“Captain ……”
I let out a long sigh, “Well, where is this new batch of guns of yours?”
“In a very safe place, I had already negotiated a buyer, then I was targeted by you guys and I didn’t dare act rashly, and that order went down the drain.”
“Can you be more specific?” I said, “You’re not going to make me guess, are you?”
He asked, “Where is the safest place for me to hide a tree? In the woods, of course. I have all these guns in the public security armoury.”
All of us in the room drew in a breath of cold air at the same time, He Bi did not say all of his words, but we could all understand what he meant.
There were black cops in the police station, using Public Security’s weapons transport and storage lines to bring in a batch of guns for the crime syndicate.
The police here are so shady that Xu Xiang and Chief Qi “take the credit” for it.
He said that the guns were in the gun store of the Tong City Criminal Investigation Brigade. The stuff in the armory has to be counted every day, but the seized guns in the evidence section are a different story. If you don’t want to transfer the exhibits, then these exhibits won’t be turned over for more than a decade, and He Bi’s batch of guns are hidden here.
“You just asked why the company would let me handle this batch of guns. Because I was the only one who could get this batch of guns out safely and securely, and the others could easily be found out. They have to rely on me for their business in Tong, and it’s strange to say that Tong isn’t a very big city, yet there’s a lot of guns needed here every year, and I don’t know where the flow goes.”
