They had left the city. The surroundings were eerily silent.

Under the guidance of the street lamps, two cars drove out of Jin City, one following another, moving at a very high speed.

An Ying looked at the night sky through the car window, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was strange, as if the air was filled with tension.

That night would be the stage for their final battle with the police.

He was very cautious and meticulous. He had been thinking of a plan to make sure he would not get caught.

Tian Danyue could sense the tension and clasped her fists several times nervously. Yet Huang He, who was sitting beside her, crossed his arms, leaned against the seat comfortably and actually went ahead to sleep.

He could really sleep in such an atmosphere?

Tian Danyue would frequently glance over at him.

Under the moving light rays, she couldn’t see any expression on his face.

She couldn’t tell what this man was thinking at all.

“Brother Ying!”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

“What is it?” An Ying was tense and vigilant the whole time.

“It doesn’t seem right, does it?” The henchman sitting on the front passenger seat sounded worried. “Look at this!”

“Mm?” An Ying craned his head to look in front.

The henchman held the device that showed the current scene of the Grand Orchid Pavilion, likely taken from a surveillance camera. Under the dim lighting, slightly intoxicated men and women seemed out of sorts… These people still seemed to know what was going on but they were now quiet and stayed at their spot without moving.

The next moment, police officers appeared in the device.

The scene was originally quiet. Later on, they heard screams and these people seemed confused and puzzled. The situation got a little chaotic.

This was because a lot of police officers entered Grand Orchid Pavilion with firearms in their hands…

“D*rn!”

An Ying knocked the device away with his hand.

“Why?

“Why did the police come in such a timely manner?”

He was gnashing his teeth in anger but nobody was able to provide him with an answer.

It was now suddenly quiet inside the car. Even if a needle fell, they would be able to hear it.

Nobody wanted to infuriate him further.

“Brother Ying!” At this moment, the driver suddenly said, “The car in front seems to have stopped.”

This road was very straight. Although the car in front was quite a distance away from them, they could still make out the blinking back lights of the car. The car in front also contained their people. An Ying had arranged for them to be in front. Why did they suddenly stop?

An Ying spoke in a controlled low tone, “Ask them what is happening?”

“Got it.”

An Ying then paused and instructed the driver. “Stop the car beside the road.”

“Sure.” The driver complied.

Soon, the walkie-talkie beeped twice before they heard a voice.

“Brother Ying! Brother Ying!”

“Goodness, lower your bleeping volume!” An Ying then rolled down the car window looking peeved.

“Yes, yes, yes…” As the person was panicking, he was panting and stammered a little. He also spoke in a nervous voice. “The traffic police seems to be checking drivers for drink driving in front…”

An Ying narrowed his eyes. “The traffic police is only checking for drink driving. Why are you so bleeping worried about it?”

“But…” You should know why I’m worried!

An Ying’s henchman dared to think about this but he had no guts to say that out loud.

After that, An Ying instructed him. “Just keep going and keep in touch.”

“… Yes, Boss!”

That person’s voice clearly sounded hesitant.

Which outlaw wouldn’t be afraid?

No matter what kind of police they saw, even though it was just a group of neighborhood police officers, they would still feel nervous. However, An Ying had instructed them to continue on the journey even though they clearly knew that the police were in front. No choice, they had to take the risk…

That car had stopped by the road for about 30 seconds before they continued to drive.

An Ying’s car was still there, stopping by the roadside as well but he didn’t say a word.

The driver didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t dare to make decisions on his own.

“Brother Ying, so what are we…”

“Turn back!”

“Ah?” The driver was somewhat worried. “But we are not allowed to do a U-turn here…”

“You bleeping dare to kill people but you’re scared of breaking traffic rules?”

“…”

The car did a turn and zoomed into the distance like rocket.

Huang He did not open his eyes but he could feel a cold, intense gaze on him.

“Detective Huang!” An Ying’s voice was chilling and grim. “Now you can tell us how you did all this.”

…

The sky was dark and endless.

Bai Muchuan’s car was on the highway when he received a call.

“We intercepted one of the target cars at Wei Hong Road. There are a total of five men in there but they didn’t drink and drive. We also didn’t find anything suspicious in the car.”

“Bring them back for investigation.”

“Alright!”

“What about the other target cars?”

“We only intercepted one of them!”

D*rn! Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth. “Did he think that he could get away? Find out where the other target cars are!”

The wait for news was unusually long. Although the next update came in within 10 minutes, it felt as if a century had passed. “Captain Bai, we found out that a target car did an illegal U-turn and drove back towards Hongjin Road. It should be heading towards Hongshan District!”

Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth slowly. “Pass the order down to everyone to stop this car if they see it!”

“Roger!”

After ending the call, Bai Muchuan issued an order with a grave tone.

“Drive faster towards Hongshan District! We’ll chase after them!”

Currently, there were 5 of them in Bai Muchuan’s car.

Besides Quan Shaoteng and Bai Muchuan, three of Quan Shaoteng’s comrades from Red Thorn were also there with them, now under his Operations Team. On a night like this, with such a thrilling mission on hand, their blood was burning. They were all ready to meet the criminals, waiting for the moment to come face-to-face with them.

Their car charged away into the distance, against the night winds.

This was a familiar feeling, as depicted in almost all detective dramas or films.

While on their way to Hongshan District, Bai Muchuan would receive updates from the respective departments.

That night, most of the ‘target cars and vehicles’ had been intercepted. Some of them were brought to the police station to assist their investigations. Some of them were cleared of suspicions on the spot and released. However, there was no sight of Huang He and An Ying so far.

When Bai Muchuan’s car swerved into Hongjin Road, Qi Canghai called. “Huang He’s car has been intercepted and there’s only a guy inside the car called Zeng Ah Xiang. This person has past criminal records. I’ve already ordered for both the car and that guy to be sent back to the Criminal Investigation Unit.”

“Very good.”

After ending the call, Bai Muchuan opened the map calmly. He mulled over it for a moment with his eyebrows closely knitted together. “Huang He’s inside An Ying’s car,” he told Quan Shaoteng, “he should be in a rather precarious situation. We have to ensure his safety.”

Quan Shaoteng was startled. “Are you saying that… his cover is blown?”

Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes. “I believe that he can handle it.”

Although he had said that, he didn’t feel any better at all and was still heavy-hearted.

A cunning person like An Ying, after experiencing continuous failures of Operation Heaven’s Wrath, was being driven into a corner by the police. How much trust did he still have towards Huang He? Would he be able to control his emotions and not hurt him before they caught up to them?

…

It was already 02:00 a.m.

Fog started to appear in the air.

The fog on the road grew thicker and the car had to slow down.

The driver gripped the steering wheel anxiously. “Brother Ying, would the cops come here?”

“They will!” An Ying then let out a sneer. “We need to think of a way to change to another car and escape!”

Change car and escape?

The driver thought of all those brothers in the other two cars and suddenly turned around in anxiety but got rebuked by An Ying instead.

“Keep your eyes on the road!”

“Orh.” The driver daren’t ask anything.

An Ying’s pair of cold eyes had a bloodthirsty glint as he turned to look at Huang He.

“Am I right, Detective Huang?”

“Brother Ying,” sighed Huang He, “I can understand why you suspect me. But… you’ve witnessed all this for yourself tonight. What can I possibly do with you keeping a close eye on me?”

“Hmph!”

An Ying’s eyebrows were scrunched up together as he observed Huang He. “I’m also curious as to how you managed to achieve this?”

“There’s no need to be curious. I didn’t do anything.” After that, he paused before continuing, “I only took a nap and troubles started to pop up. Brother Ying, when you look at me like this, you make me nervous too.”

“There’s no need to be nervous! I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself.” An Ying let out a sneer and looked at the GPS map. “The Hongshan Bridge is up ahead. You’ll drive this car and fall off the bridge…”
