Chapter 284: Enemies on a Narrow Road (Part 1)

The thin police officer didn't expect this Crew-cut Man in front of him to be so formidable, and he was greatly alarmed. Just as he was considering whether to run away, the leading Crew-cut Man had already kicked out at him.

Whoosh!

This kick was incredibly fast and powerful. Before the thin police officer could dodge, he was kicked directly in the chin by the Crew-cut Man.

Crack. A muffled sound came from the thin police officer's chin; it was clear his jaw had been shattered. This guy, who had been incredibly arrogant just before but was now incredibly unlucky, flew backward, crashed onto the ground, and landed with a bloody head. He struggled to get up, but he could no longer stand.

"How dare you assault the police? Aren't you afraid I'll shoot you dead right now?"

The fat police officer saw that the situation was bad and immediately reached for his waist to draw his gun, knowing that he was definitely no match for this Crew-cut Man, especially since the other two had not yet made a move.

"If you move one more time, I will blow your head off!"

But just as his hand touched the holster, a figure flashed before his eyes. The Crew-cut Man was already in front of him, and in his hand was a gun, which was now pressed against the fat police officer's head.

"Don't… don't do anything rash… If you kill me… that will be a capital crime."

The fat police officer said, still unable to believe that his direct superior, Deputy Director Wen Heping, had been arrested.

"Are you still dreaming? We are from the military, and we are here to execute the mission of arresting you. Deputy Director Wen Heping and the others have already gone to prison, waiting to be reunited with you."

The leading Crew-cut Man flashed his military officer ID and said, "Now, come with us."

While the Crew-cut Man was speaking to the fat police officer, the other two had already removed the handcuffs from Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang. Captain Tang Fei let out a sigh of relief, while Police Chief Sun Yongkang slumped to the ground.

"Chief, are you okay?"

Captain Tang Fei rushed to Police Chief Sun Yongkang's side and supported him. This Tyrannosaurus Policewoman shed tears at this moment. In her heart, Police Chief Sun Yongkang was no longer just a leader, but a true iron-willed man. She knew very well that in this peaceful era, not everyone could endure such torture.

"Police Chief Sun, can you still walk? I'll call to arrange a stretcher immediately and have someone take you to the hospital."

The military expert with the crew cut also walked over and said to Police Chief Sun Yongkang.

"I can still walk." Police Chief Sun Yongkang insisted on standing up and asked curiously, "How did you military people get involved in this matter?"

"Mr. Zhou Lang is currently a guest at General Qin's home. Secretary Lei Gang informed Mr. Zhou about this matter, so General Qin called Party Secretary Huang Kecheng and then sent us here to assist in handling it."

The crew-cut expert said, "Deputy Director Wen Heping, Jin Kelai, and Jin Shengshui have all been arrested. You are safe now."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang was shocked. He knew Zhou Lang had a connection with General Qin, but he hadn't expected that Zhou Lang would be a guest at General Qin's home, and that General Qin would personally send people to resolve this matter. This was enough to show that the relationship between Zhou Lang and General Qin was extraordinary. One could even say that Zhou Lang's affairs were General Qin's affairs; otherwise, the old General wouldn't have been so eager to help.

Captain Tang Fei's mind was also a bit dazed. She was someone who did not fear the powerful, but she still maintained respect for legendary big-shot figures like General Qin. She had also not expected that Zhou Lang could come into contact with people at this level, and that their relationship seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Subsequently, the group left the interrogation room.

Police Chief Sun Yongkang was sent to the hospital, while Captain Tang Fei returned to Feiyun City. She still had things to handle in Feiyun City.

…

The sky was slightly bright; a day had finally passed.

Although Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang had been arrested for less than twenty-four hours, it had already caused quite a stir in Feiyun City.

Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang had good reputations. Coupled with some boasting from the Jin family, the people of Feiyun City knew they had offended the Jin family and Deputy Director Wen Heping, and many felt sorry for them.

Ever since Captain Tang Fei was arrested, Zhu Yan had lived in fear. That same day, she took leave from the hospital and stayed at home.

But she was very uneasy because she felt as if someone was following her.

Therefore, she stayed at home, keeping the door closed and not daring to go out. She also didn't dare call Zhou Lang. She felt that since Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang had both been arrested, Zhou Lang must have also fallen into the hands of the Jin family. She was afraid that if she made a call, someone would track her phone, find out her home address, and take both her and her father away.

Her father, Zhu Qingshan, didn't know what had happened yet, but Zhu Qingshan was very worried to see Zhu Yan's gloomy appearance.

However, she didn't want to worry Zhu Qingshan, so she just said she was feeling a bit unwell and then stayed in her bedroom without going out, not eating or drinking.

Just as she was hesitating about whether to call Zhou Lang, her phone rang.

The call was from Zhou Lang.

"Brother Lang, you… you should run quickly. Captain Tang Fei has been arrested, and the Jin family will definitely retaliate against you. It's my fault for implicating you."

As soon as the call connected, Zhu Yan said.

She did not consider her own safety first, but rather Zhou Lang's safety, because she knew that the person Jin Kelai hated most must be Zhou Lang. Since Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang had both been arrested, how could Zhou Lang be safe?

She did not know how much power a Cultivator had, so she assumed that Zhou Lang would be powerless against a powerful figure like Deputy Director Wen Heping.

"Zhu Yan, the matter has been settled. Jin Kelai, Jin Shengshui, and Deputy Director Wen Heping have all been arrested, and Captain Tang Fei and Police Chief Sun Yongkang have already been released. I know you might not be safe right now, so I contacted Captain Tang Fei and asked her to come over immediately to protect you."

Zhou Lang said. He was very touched that Zhu Yan was thinking of him like this. From these small details, he could feel that Zhu Yan truly loved him.

"Zhou Lang, is… is this true?"

Zhu Yan was both surprised and happy, but still somewhat disbelieving. Although she knew Zhou Lang was very mysterious, she had never imagined that his power was so great that he could easily send a powerful Deputy Director of the Police Department to prison.

"Of course it's true. With me here, no one can bully you." Zhou Lang said.

His voice was very gentle, giving people a sense of stabilizing power.

Hearing Zhou Lang say this, Zhu Yan's heart settled down. Zhou Lang's words were like a Spirit Pill and a gentle spring breeze; the anxiety of the day was quickly blown away.

"I have some things to attend to in the capital right now, so I can't come back immediately. I'm really sorry. When I return, I will properly make it up to you."

Zhou Lang said softly. He had originally not wanted to get involved with Zhu Yan, but it happened that Jin Kelai was harassing her, and by a twist of fate, he had played the role of her boyfriend, so their relationship had quickly grown closer.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Zhu Yan said.

…

Not long after Zhou Lang finished calling Zhu Yan, Captain Tang Fei returned to Feiyun City.

She had many things to do and, of course, couldn't personally protect Zhu Yan, but she sent several of her subordinates to protect Zhu Yan in secret.

Soon, the news of the arrest of Jin Kelai, Jin Shengshui, and Deputy Director Wen Heping was broadcast on the provincial television news. When the guys Jin Kelai had sent to tail Zhu Yan saw that their master had been arrested, they certainly wouldn't continue working for Jin Kelai. They were all like startled birds and ran away in fear.

Zhu Yan was safe, so she returned to work at the hospital.

That afternoon, Deputy Director Wen Heping, Jin Kelai, and Jin Shengshui were sent to a maximum-security prison and incarcerated.

These three guys had a long history of bad behavior, and the crimes they had committed were not light. Plus, this matter had been inquired about by General Qin, so they were naturally dealt with severely. They were all sentenced to life imprisonment and would truly have to sit in prison until they died.

…

When the night was vast and dark, three special prisoners arrived in Cell 007 of the Dianxi First Prison.

These three were none other than the once-arrogant Deputy Director Wen Heping, Jin Kelai, and Jin Shengshui.

In the maximum-security prison, those incarcerated were all extremely vicious criminals, all sentenced to at least ten years or more, and the prisoners in Cell 007 were known for being particularly fierce.

When Deputy Director Wen Heping and the other two changed into prison uniforms and walked into Cell 007, the seven prisoners who had originally been eating immediately cast their gazes over.

"Jin Shengshui, it's actually you, you bastard? You also have a day where you end up in prison?"

Just as Deputy Director Wen Heping and the others felt fear at these seven pairs of eyes that were like those of a Vicious Beast, a slightly hoarse voice rang out. Among the seven prisoners, a burly middle-aged man slowly stood up and glared at Jin Shengshui.

"It's you…"

When Jin Shengshui saw this middle-aged man, he was immediately startled and took a step back.

"You ruined my family, and I thought I would never have the chance to take revenge in this lifetime. I didn't expect that we would meet here today. This debt needs to be settled properly."

The middle-aged man said slowly, his eyes shooting out rays of hatred. It seemed there was an irreconcilable feud between him and Jin Shengshui.

"You… what are you going to do?"

Jin Shengshui said in fear.

The prisoner who had a grudge against Jin Shengshui was named Cao Meng, and he had run a martial arts gym. Ten years ago, the bastard Jin Shengshui had taken a fancy to Cao Meng's wife and wanted to forcibly possess her. Cao Meng naturally refused. Later, a dispute arose between the two sides. After Jin Shengshui snatched away Cao Meng's wife, Cao Meng was enraged and accidentally killed one of Jin Shengshui's bodyguards. Consequently, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and was incarcerated here, while Cao Meng's wife had committed suicide.

"What am I going to do? Naturally, I am going to take revenge for my wife! I thought about escaping from prison every day, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep." Cao Meng sneered.

His sneer made Jin Shengshui feel terrified.

Seeing this scene, Deputy Director Wen Heping kept his head down and didn't say a word. As the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer. He could see that this guy named Cao Meng was the boss of Cell 007, and that Cao Meng and Jin Shengshui had a deadly feud. If he stood up for Jin Shengshui, he was afraid he would implicate himself.

"Father, with me here, don't be afraid of this guy." But Jin Kelai said, not knowing when to advance or retreat. He thought he could still fight and didn't take the few prisoners seriously at all.

"What's your name, kid? You're Jin Shengshui's son? Haha, heaven really has eyes! Both you father and son have ended up in prison." Cao Meng laughed out loud.

"My name is Jin Kelai. How the hell are you talking?"

Jin Kelai was enraged. Even in prison, this guy still had the attitude of a spoiled rich kid. He didn't know that such an attitude was enough to make him suffer a major loss.

"Xiao Ma, Mazi, haven't you guys not tasted meat for a long time? This fair and clean-looking man is handed over to you. As for this Jin Shengshui, he is mine."

Cao Meng gave the order to the other six prisoners and walked toward Jin Shengshui with large strides.
