Chapter 37 Closing the door to beat the dog? I'm the hunter!
Chapter 37 Closing the door to beat the dog? I'm the hunter!
Zhao Ruilong's smile was cruel and twisted.
He looked at the man in front of him, who was being pointed at by dozens of submachine guns, yet was still slowly swirling his wine glass, and a morbid pleasure welled up inside him.
He liked this feeling.
This feeling of having other people's lives at your fingertips.
Qi Tongwei, aren't you supposed to be a good fighter? Aren't you supposed to be tough?
What are you compared to overwhelming firepower!
"Closing the door to beat the dog?"
Zhao Ruilong laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he let out an exaggerated, neurotic laugh.
"Qi Tongwei, are you scared out of your wits?"
He stretched out his finger, pointed to the dark gun barrels outside the window, and then pointed to Qi Tongwei.
"Look carefully!"
"Now, you are that dog!"
"And I am the one who closes the door!"
His voice became shrill with extreme excitement.
However, Qi Tongwei just looked at him indifferently, with a kind of pity in his eyes as if he were looking at a clown.
"Yeah?"
Qi Tongwei downed the crimson wine in his glass in one gulp.
Then, he gently placed the wine glass upside down on the table.
"Thump."
A soft sound.
In the deathly silent private room, the sound was exceptionally clear.
And just as that soft sound ended!
"boom--!"
The heavy, intricately carved sandalwood gate of the Mountain and Water Manor was violently smashed open from the outside by an irresistible force!
The massive door panel, as if struck by a battering ram, flew inward with a deafening roar!
Immediately afterwards!
"Waaaaah—waaaah—!"
The piercing sirens blared simultaneously from all directions!
The sound wasn't from one car, nor from several cars.
Instead, it was a massive torrent of dozens or even hundreds of police cars, all sirens blaring, forming a steel torrent that represented the absolute will of the state's violent apparatus!
Countless bright searchlight beams, like swords of divine punishment, instantly tore through the luxurious yet hypocritical night of the Mountain and Water Manor, illuminating the entire manor inside and out as if it were daytime!
"Don't move!"
"police!"
"Put down your weapons!"
The roar that came from the loudspeaker was one of specially trained, menacing voices!
Teams of fully armed special police officers, armed with riot shields and Type 95 automatic rifles, surged in like a tide through the broken-open gate!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, exuding a chilling efficiency.
In a very short time, they took control of all the key passages and high points of the manor.
The roar of helicopters circled overhead.
The giant propeller whipped up a gale, causing the grass and trees on the ground to sway wildly.
One after another, agile figures descended from the sky via rappelling ropes, landing precisely on the rooftops of various buildings.
A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!
This is the real, inescapable net!
Outside the private room, the remaining members of the "Scorpion" gang, who had just been arrogant and self-righteous, were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
They were desperados; they were not afraid of death.
But what they faced were always small-scale conflicts, guerrilla warfare in the jungle.
They had never seen such a three-dimensional, all-round dimensional reduction attack, just like a regular army fighting!
"What happened?"
"Where did all these cops come from!"
"Boss! We're surrounded!"
Their communication channels were filled with panicked screams.
Inside the private room.
The smile on Zhao Ruilong's face froze completely.
The color drained from his face at a visible speed, turning it paler than the walls.
He stared wide-eyed at the red and blue flashing police lights outside the window, and the special police officers who seemed to have sprung up from the ground.
He felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a cold, large hand, making it difficult to even breathe.
"This...this is impossible..."
He muttered to himself, his voice filled with incomprehensible terror.
He notified Liu Huaqiang, instructing him to bring men to "deal with" Qi Tongwei.
But Liu Huaqiang has already been arrested!
Where did these police officers come from?
Why is there such a large-scale operation?
Qi Tongwei slowly stood up and straightened his collar.
His face remained expressionless.
He walked to the window, looked at the encirclement outside that was like an iron barrel, then turned back to look at Zhao Ruilong, whose face was ashen.
Finally, a cold, victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master Zhao, now tell me."
"Who's the dog?"
"Who was it that closed the door?"
Zhao Ruilong's body began to tremble violently.
He finally understood.
From the very beginning, he fell into a trap.
A death trap tailor-made for Qi Tongwei!
Tonight's trap was not something he prepared for Qi Tongwei.
It was prepared by Qi Tongwei for him and everyone behind him!
"You...you..."
Zhao Ruilong pointed at Qi Tongwei, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Extreme anger and fear left his mind blank.
"Bang!"
The door to the private room was kicked open.
Chen Hai led a team of special police officers and rushed in.
"Director Qi! The manor is now completely under our control!"
"Twenty-three fugitives from the 'Scorpion' drug trafficking syndicate have been apprehended!"
"Twenty-three submachine guns and twelve hand grenades have been captured!"
Chen Hai's voice was loud and clear, and full of excitement.
He looked at Zhao Ruilong, who was pale and swaying in the private room, and a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes.
Qi Tongwei nodded.
He didn't look at Zhao Ruilong, but instead turned his gaze to Gao Xiaoqin, who was cowering in the doorway, her face pale with fright and her whole body trembling.
When Gao Xiaoqin met his gaze, her body trembled violently.
Her eyes were filled with fear, and a complex emotion that she herself couldn't quite explain.
She had thought that tonight she would witness the fall of a hero.
Unexpectedly, what she saw was the descent of a demon god.
This man was not some clueless, reckless young man who didn't know the rules.
He is the rule!
He single-handedly manipulated the entire underground world of Handong!
"Mr. Gao."
Qi Tongwei slowly walked towards her.
Gao Xiaoqin's body involuntarily took a step back.
"You are suspected of harboring and protecting a major criminal from a transnational drug trafficking organization."
Qi Tongwei's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Come with us."
Gao Xiaoqin's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
She wanted to beg for mercy and to explain herself.
But looking into Qi Tongwei's cold, untainted eyes, she knew that any words would be superfluous.
Just then, an unexpected figure rushed out from behind Gao Xiaoqin.
It's Gao Xiaofeng.
Her innocent face was streaked with tears.
Without hesitation, she rushed to Qi Tongwei, opened her arms, and blocked his way.
"You're not allowed to grab my sister!"
Her voice, trembling with tears, was filled with stubbornness.
"She was forced into it! It was all Zhao Ruilong's doing!"
"If you're going to arrest someone, arrest me!"
She stood there in front of Qi Tongwei, like an angry little beast protecting its older sister.
Qi Tongwei looked at her, at those stubborn yet helpless eyes, and sighed softly in his heart.
He stretched out his hand.
Gao Xiaofeng instinctively closed her eyes, thinking he was going to push her away.
However, that hand simply landed lightly on her shoulder.
Warm, yet powerful.
"rest assured."
Qi Tongwei looked into her eyes and said, word by word.
"I will not wrong an innocent person."
"We will never let a single bad person go free."
After saying that, he walked past Gao Xiaofeng and stood in front of Gao Xiaoqin.
He didn't handcuff her.
However, he made a "please" gesture.
Gao Xiaoqin gave him a deep look, then glanced at her younger sister, and finally gave a bitter smile before following the special police officers out.
In the entire private room, only Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong, who had completely broken down, remained.
Zhao Ruilong looked at Qi Tongwei, his eyes filled with resentment and madness.
"Qi Tongwei! You dare touch me?"
"My dad is Zhao Lichun! If you mess with me, you're going against my dad! You're going against the entire Handong!"
"You're dead! You're absolutely dead!"
He was still making a final, desperate struggle.
Qi Tongwei walked up to him and looked down at him.
"Zhao Lichun?"
He shook his head, a mocking smile on his face.
"Soon, winter will arrive in Handong."
