157: Chapter 156: Being Sniped 157: Chapter 156: Being Sniped The pair had figured out the flight schedules and were waiting at the exit gate. Zhao Mingjie seemed a bit anxious and said to Liu Hun beside her, “We have too little information, how can we figure out who Sister Hong really is?” It was unclear why, but although Zhao Mingjie was the deputy captain of the criminal police, she habitually relied on this man whenever she was with Liu Hun. “I have a way! Trust me!” Liu Hun comforted her, patting the back of her hand, his x-ray vision eager to peer through the inner thighs of women—not that he would stop there. Zhao Mingjie’s heart warmed, and she nodded like a young girl, suddenly blushing. Gone was the demeanor of a deputy police captain—she was like a girl in love. “Attention all passengers! Attention all passengers! Flight 0C132 has now arrived...” The airport’s announcement of the flight’s arrival echoed, and Zhao Mingjie collected herself, focusing intently on the exit. As soon as Liu Hun gave the signal, she would not hesitate to make the arrest. Before long, people started to trickle out of the exit, some met by family members, others leaving the airport on their own. Knowing that his x-ray vision lasted only a few seconds, Liu Hun knew he had to make it count at the most critical moment. Just as when he was looking for Ergou in the bar—his judgment led him directly to Ergou who was either drinking or flirting. This time, he figured that this “Sister Hong” would neither be the first nor the last to appear; she’d surely blend into the larger crowd. After a few scattered individuals had cleared, a large crowd burst out of the exit. X-ray vision! Activate! Liu Hun summoned his Qi Force to his eyes and quickly swept over the crowd. True to his judgement, he accurately pinpointed Sister Hong! “Don’t move! Police! Don’t make any sudden moves!” Suddenly! A group of plainclothes police officers appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the crowd at the exit. “Captain Huang!” Zhao Mingjie immediately recognized Bai Dajun, who approached her smugly, shaking his head. “Hmph! Zhao Mingjie! Disobeying organizational directives! Investigating the case on your own! You almost jeopardized our arrest operation! You think you’re so capable, huh? Well, wait for your disciplinary action from the organization!” Bai Dajun taunted Zhao Mingjie loudly, then leaned in and whispered, “Following you led to today’s success! You really love to help, don’t you!” After a moment of chaos among the bystanders, they calmed down as they saw the police escorting a struggling and protesting woman out. Bai Dajun threw a disdainful look at Zhao Mingjie—like a victorious rooster—and left with the suspect. “Bai Dajun! What a despicable lowlife! To think he tracked us! You... What are you doing?! Where are you taking me?” Zhao Mingjie was stomping and cursing at Bai Dajun when suddenly Liu Hun, without a word, started dragging her towards the airport exit. “What are you doing? They’ve taken the person away, I need to head back to the station!” Zhao Mingjie anxiously told Liu Hun. “Keep quiet!” Liu Hun didn’t offer Zhao Mingjie any further explanation and pulled her toward a taxi. Seeing a woman in a skirt opening the taxi door about to get in, Zhao Mingjie began to understand that Liu Hun was probably trying to save time getting back to Anchang County, but she still felt that forcefully taking a taxi from someone else wasn’t right. Just as they were one step away from the taxi, Liu Hun gently pushed Zhao Mingjie and whispered, “Get in the car across the street!” Confused, Zhao Mingjie went to the other side of the taxi, while Liu Hun quickly approached the woman who was about to board. “Ma’am, this is the taxi I called. Please let the lady go first and wait for the next one,” the woman said, ready to get into the car. Liu Hun grabbed the woman’s waist with one hand and smiled slightly, “You remained so calm during the police arrest. Feeling lucky you escaped, aren’t you... Sister Hong?” The woman’s eyes suddenly hardened, and her hand moved toward her back, but then she felt something penetrate her mind, and everything went black as she fainted. Liu Hun wouldn’t let the mouse bite back. With his Qi Force, he made her faint. It wasn’t until he helped the unconscious Sister Hong into the car and Zhao Mingjie got in that she realized the bewildering and thrilling events of the last few seconds. “Driver, please take us to Anchang County,” Liu Hun told the driver. “What are you doing? Why is this woman unconscious? Why did you bring her along?” Zhao Mingjie bombarded Liu Hun with questions, finding his actions inexplicable. “Bai Dajun got the wrong person!” Liu Hun simply replied. Zhao Mingjie’s head spun as she asked in return, “What? How could Bai Dajun possibly have caught the wrong person? That really Red...?” As she spoke, she couldn’t help but glance at the woman lying unconscious beside her. “Reach out and feel what’s on her back,” Liu Hun instructed Zhao Mingjie. Slowly, Zhao Mingjie reached behind Red and touched something—its shape, icy feel, and texture—it was unmistakably a high-quality fake 64 pistol! Zhao Mingjie looked at Liu Hun, shocked, unable to utter a word. She now felt a chill running down her spine, realizing she had been completely unaware a moment before when Liu Hun had faced a matter of life and death in just a few seconds. Then, Zhao Mingjie slowly reached out again and carefully lifted Red’s skirt to reveal a bright rose tattoo on the inside of her thigh, still clearly visible through the black stockings. When Bai Dajun suddenly appeared, Liu Hun had certainly not expected it, but even more unexpected was that Bai Dajun had caught the wrong person, while his own attention had been fixed solely on Red. After reaching Anchang County, the two decided they couldn’t return to the station yet, so they rented a secluded hotel room, claiming that Red was drunk to settle things down properly. In the modest hotel room, in the center of the floor were two suitcases that Red had brought with her, neatly packed with three million in cash. “What should we do now?” Zhao Mingjie asked Liu Hun, having never felt so clueless in her life. “Wake her up! Then we’ll get the information we want!” Liu Hun said, and together with Zhao Mingjie, they tied Red to a chair, stuffed her mouth, and woke her up. Obviously, no one would simply answer everything honestly, but it was even more clear that no one dared not to in front of Liu Hun! With one hundred and twenty varieties of Qi drilling techniques at his disposal, Red could barely withstand the second type before breaking down like a pear that had been dropped numerous times, as if lightly poking her anywhere would shatter her. Although Zhao Mingjie didn’t know how Liu Hun managed it, ever since he had cured her master Chen Lan, she knew Liu Hun had some extraordinary skills. “Answer what you’re asked, understand or not?” Liu Hun sat by the bed and questioned Red. Normally, he didn’t lay hands on women, but for a violent criminal who planned to pull a gun by a cab, he was absolutely ruthless. “Under...Understood,” Red said, her hair disheveled, looking like she just had a brush with Hell, her gaze trembling as she looked at Liu Hun. Liu Hun gave Zhao Mingjie a slight smile and said, “You ask.” Already focused on the case, Zhao Mingjie had been eager to start. She quickly picked up a pen and paper and started noting down everything after asking for Red’s name, age, and origin, checking her ID card before proceeding, “You’re the buyer?” Fatigued and spent, Red nodded and said, “Yes.” “Who sold you the guns? Where was the transaction done?” Zhao Mingjie continued to press Red, more concerned about this matter as she needed to trace the origin of the illegal guns. “The other party is very cautious. I don’t know his name or any information, just that he wanted me to wait in room 305 of the Haoker Nightclub tonight. That’s all I know,” Red confessed honestly, not daring to lie, profoundly afraid of Liu Hun. “Haoker Nightclub...” Zhao Mingjie muttered to herself, then said to Liu Hun, “Without knowing exactly who we are dealing with, we can’t recklessly take this woman with us. We can’t just investigate the Haoker Nightclub directly since we are handling this case unofficially.” Taken aback, Liu Hun paused. Zhao Mingjie’s point was indeed valid, making things tricky unless they could control Red like a puppet. Given that Red was such a ruthless thug, she would surely betray them under pressure; she wasn’t just some petty thug from a village that one could compare with. A sudden idea flashed in Zhao Mingjie’s mind, and she abruptly turned to stare intensely at Red and asked, “Has he seen you before? Or does he know what you look like?” Red shook her head and said, “No. This is the first time we are officially meeting because the quantity involved this time is large. Before, it was all through go-betweens.” Watching Red’s eyes closely and seeing no sign of evasion, Liu Hun nodded at Zhao Mingjie, signaling that she could be at ease. Suddenly Zhao Mingjie stared at Liu Hun and declared, “I want to disguise myself as this woman for the meeting!” “What?!” Liu Hun exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping, “You want to disguise yourself as her for the meeting?!” Zhao Mingjie undid her ponytail rubber band and seductively flipped her hair saying, “Have you forgotten that I’ve done the same thing before?” Recalling the time they busted the gambling den in Taiping Town, it was indeed still fresh in his memory. After pondering for a moment, Liu Hun nodded and said, “Alright, let’s do it together! Taking me along with Red, who likes to play with men, shouldn’t pose any problem.” Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Zhao Mingjie blushed slightly as they discussed their strategy. Then, Liu Hun knocked Red out again, and Zhao Mingjie changed into Red’s clothes, taking the two suitcases as they headed to the Haoker Nightclub together.
