"I'm just an ordinary citizen, and instead of catching thieves, you as the police want to force me to confront them? I won't do such a foolish thing!"
"Hey, Ling Zhenfei, what are you talking about? Assisting the police in handling cases is every citizen's duty. How can you be so selfish..."
Once she heard Ling Zhenfei's remark, Han Lian's fiery temper immediately flared up, and she glared at Ling Zhenfei with her almond eyes wide open and filled with anger.
Ling Zhenfei knew her temper well and turned his face away, completely ignoring Han Lian.
"Ling Zhenfei, you..." Han Lian was about to lose her temper, but Guo Qing'an stopped her with a smile.
Then, looking at Ling Zhenfei with squinted eyes, Guo Qing'an showed a smile that only a crafty fox could muster, "Mr. Ling, rest assured, as long as you agree, the police won't let you suffer any loss. If you help us catch Tan Shaojie and his top five experts, the police will give you a reward beyond your expectations!"
"A reward?" Just as Ling Zhenfei's eyes lit up upon hearing about a reward, he saw Han Lian standing beside Guo Qing'an, revealing a sly smile, and he knew that the reward was most likely just an empty promise.
"Mr. Ling, I represent the Binyang police force in promising you that, as long as you complete the task, we will not only apply for a 200,000 yuan reward for you but also recommend you to join the National Security Department's special operations group."
Seeing Ling Zhenfei hesitant, Guo Qing'an quickly encouraged him, "In the future, all your affairs in Binyang will enjoy special privileges!"
"This..." Although Ling Zhenfei had no interest in the 200,000 yuan reward, the last condition mentioned by Guo Qing'an truly tempted him.
After all, joining the National Security Department's special operations group is the dream of many ambitious youths in Huaxia!
"Mr. Ling, what do you say? With such terms, can I persuade you to come out of retirement?" Seemingly noticing Ling Zhenfei's interest, Guo Qing'an added more fuel to the fire.
"Alright, I agree!"
Ling Zhenfei was a man of boldness, and even if Guo Qing'an had offered him no conditions, he would still have wanted to meet Tan Shaojie and his gang.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei agree, Guo Qing'an and Han Lian immediately showed delighted expressions on their faces.
"Come on, Mr. Ling, since that's the case, let's now discuss how to capture all these bandits in one swoop!"
Although he had lived a comfortable life over the years, Guo Qing'an's unquenchable passion was unaffected. As soon as he heard Ling Zhenfei agree, he became instantly excited.
"Mr. Ling, Kun Ze Haosan is an international felon, and I am concerned that something might happen here in Binyang. I've decided to escort him and Chi Hu to the Provincial City tomorrow morning. I would like you and Han Lian to undertake this escort mission together!"
After the three of them took their seats again, Guo Qing'an spoke with a serious and heartfelt tone.
Ling Zhenfei nodded. Having agreed to help the police, he naturally felt it was his duty to partake in this escort plan.
Following that, the three of them engaged in a detailed discussion about the specific plans for the next day's escort mission.
For the safety of the plan, Guo Qing'an had the two of them stay at the police station to eat and rest, waiting for their departure the next day...
As Ling Zhenfei was planning tomorrow's escort mission in Binyang City, in an inconspicuous hotel room, Tan Shaojie had also summoned Du Kongting and Hei Biao to discuss their next step in the rescue plan.
"Shaojie, it's so late, why did you rush us here? What's the matter?" Du Kongting normally went to bed early and was already asleep when Tan Shaojie summoned him.
"If it wasn't something important, I wouldn't have called you both."
Tan Shaojie cast a cold glance at Du Kongting and Hei Biao, too lazy to engage in idle chatter, and got straight to the point, "Guo Qing'an plans to transport Master Kun Ze and Chi Hu to the Provincial City tomorrow morning. We don't have much time left. I've decided we'll intercept them on the road tomorrow!"
"What?" Upon hearing the news, Du Kongting and Hei Biao exchanged glances, seeing shock mirrored in each other's eyes.
They considered themselves the Local Snakes of Binyang and even had their informants within the police, yet they hadn't received this information. How could Tan Shaojie, a newcomer, know so much?
"President Du, have you forgotten? The capture of Chi Hu wasn't a wasted move."
Tan Shaojie felt arrogantly self-assured, finding it unnecessary to even explain, "Chi Hu and I have a special way of communication. He just sent me this message."
"Ah! To think there was such a thing..." Du Kongting and Hei Biao were even more astonished after hearing this.
However, no matter how hard they found it to believe, given how Tan Shaojie spoke with such certainty, they couldn't help but trust him.
"It seems that we need to start our rescue plan ahead of schedule!"
Tan Shaojie, however, wasn't concerned about their astonishment and quickly assigned tomorrow's tasks to them. As for how he intended to rescue Kun Ze Haosan, he didn't say.
"Shaojie, since the police have chosen this time to transfer Master Kun Ze, they will be on high alert. I wonder what you plan to do to rescue him..."
As the head of the Binyang branch, Du Kongting didn't want to be left in the dark by Tan Shaojie and had to pluck up the courage to ask.
"The details of the rescue I will decide on my own; you don't need to worry about that. Just do what I have told you tomorrow, that will be enough!"
It wasn't clear whether it was due to distrust or ingrained arrogance, but Tan Shaojie dismissively waved his hand at them, signaling them to leave.
"Tan Shaojie, don't push people too far, after all, President Du and I are also..."
As a big brother accustomed to commanding respect in Binyang's underworld, Hei Biao had never been subjected to such treatment. Enraged, he was about to speak up but was stopped by Du Kongting.
Glancing at the four formidable experts standing frosty behind Tan Shaojie, Du Kongting sighed and began to pull Hei Biao away to leave.
"President Du, haven't you always wanted to kill Lin Zhengnan and take full control of Lin's?"
Just as Du Kongting and Hei Biao were about to leave, Tan Shaojie suddenly blurted out this disjointed remark from behind them.
"Ah!" At the sound of that, Du Kongting's body jolted, and he turned back in alarm.
"Heh heh..." Tan Shaojie's sinister face broke into a bizarre sneer, his gaze skimming over Du Kongting's face as he ominously said, "I've enjoyed your hospitality in Binyang these past few days, and as interest, I shall casually fulfill this wish for you!"
As Du Kongting stepped out of the hotel entrance, he was still unable to calm his emotions.
After all, the promise from Tan Shaojie was completely unexpected.
Tan Shaojie was right; over the years, he had always seen Lin Zhengnan as a thorn in his side, desperate to remove him and take his place.
However, ever since the failure of his last plan, he hadn't dared to harbor such thoughts again.
But Tan Shaojie's recent words had rekindled his hope.
He was well aware of Tan Shaojie's capabilities; if Tan Shaojie was willing to act, Lin Zhengnan's fate was sealed!
