Chapter 603 - 601: Finding the Accomplice
Li Jun bit his lip, resisting the urge. He knew that Zhang Yufei was the person he liked, and it was really painful to watch helplessly as someone he cared for was being tortured.
Xue Kong was quite shrewd. As he spoke, he began to scrutinize his surroundings, and saw Li Jun biting his lip and looking tense. With a cold smile, he said, "You! Come out."
Everyone was stunned for a moment and hadn’t reacted, each turning their heads, Li Jun also turned back, only to find everyone staring at him.
"I’m talking to you, what are you looking around for?"
The team members behind looked forward, clearly seeing that Xue Kong’s finger was pointing directly at Li Jun, so the others quickly cleared a path.
At this moment, Li Jun realized that it was indeed him being singled out, and was shocked, thinking to himself, who is this person, why is he so sharp, among so many people, why did he pick me at a glance?
It’s over, it’s over, this must be the expert Zhang Yufei was talking about.
"Kid, I’m talking to you, still standing there stunned?"
Xue Kong looked at Li Jun who was still standing there dumbfounded, and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Did I get it right, you’re this lady cop’s undercover?"
"Leader, it’s not me, I’m not the undercover, I’m new here, don’t know anything, do I look like an undercover?" Li Jun was at a loss for words, and could only muddle through with that sentence.
"Haha, new here? Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you can’t be undercover, right? Initially, I didn’t suspect you, but seeing your nervous expression just now, I think, among so many people, you’re the most likely."
In reality, Xue Kong didn’t have conclusive evidence, and he didn’t call Li Jun out with certainty; he was simply observing Zhang Yufei’s reaction.
"Yes, he’s my undercover, I know him." At that moment, Zhang Yufei pointed directly at Li Jun and stated, leaving Li Jun shocked and staring wide-eyed, unsure what to do.
Besides Li Jun, everyone else was more surprised; finding the undercover was almost too easy.
Without even interrogating her companion, she immediately gave them away. Yet, precisely because of that, Xue Kong was less inclined to believe it; his greatest trait was suspicion.
No matter how skilled a person is, they have weaknesses. Xue Kong’s was suspicion, and Chen Tianlong’s was softness.
Chen Tianlong’s weak spot didn’t need much explanation; it was definitely women. Whenever a woman had trouble or cried, Chen Tianlong would exhaust every means to comfort or save her.
Thus, those who understood Chen Tianlong’s weakness could easily exploit it.
Though Chen Tianlong was fully aware, he couldn’t do much about it. As someone who was emotional, unable to let go of the women he cared about, it was destined to be his weakness.
At this point, Xue Kong pondered and finally sneered, saying, "Officer Chen, you really know how to joke; do you think I’d believe your words? If he were your companion, and you exposed him so quickly, even if we don’t arrest you, you’d face severe punishment upon return, so you’re clearly trying to fool me."
Xue Kong wasn’t slow-witted either; he said that to make Zhang Yufei slip up, but Zhang Yufei wasn’t foolish. She had previously devised a plan, so she would have ways to cope.
With a calm demeanor, Zhang Yufei said, "Anyway, I’m already exposed; not saying anything definitely gets me punished. It’s death either way, so why not drag a colleague down with me? Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Xue Kong frowned, finding Zhang Yufei’s words hard to discern for truthfulness.
This was also his first time encountering such an opponent. If the young man before him was indeed her partner, there should have been some eye contact, and that person should be more surprised than the others.
Yet looking at the young man’s expression, it was merely disbelief, with little else in terms of complex emotions.
"Haha, do you take me for a fool? Look at this kid, empty-headed, is he really a cop? I bet your companion is hiding among the crowd, chuckling."
This time, Xue Kong really thought Zhang Yufei was being deliberate, and Zhang Yufei was just taking advantage of a fortuitous mistake; if it were someone else, they might not have fallen for it, but Xue Kong did.
"You... humph, I won’t say a thing, not even if you kill me. Only people as heartless as you could betray their companions like that."
Zhang Yufei knew she succeeded in diverting attention, and was overjoyed, adding strength in her words.
"Hmph, wretched cop, now that we’ve captured you, how dare you be so arrogant? Forget about you being a woman, I won’t hold back; don’t **** provoke me, or don’t blame me for a heavy hand later."
Hu Fei couldn’t hold it in any longer; since the truth was revealed, there was no need to stall with her.
"Bring it on, who fears scumbags like you?"
Zhang Yufei’s attitude was evidently firm, for nothing else but to focus their attention on her. As for enduring some physical pain, it truly didn’t matter.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhang Yufei’s face was ruthlessly slapped. Hu Fei snarled, "You wench, ***** ignoring my words, are you? Here, I don’t care if you’re a cop. If I want you dead, don’t even think about living. You better just betray your associates to spare yourself needless suffering."
"Humph, hit me if you want, kill me if you want, suit yourself." After Zhang Yufei threw down those words, she closed her eyes.
"Smack!"
Hu Fei slapped again, causing Zhang Yufei to feel dizzy. For a short moment, Zhang Yufei stood up, coldly smiled, and said, "Is that all you’ve got?"
Hu Fei saw it and laughed; this lady cop was remarkably resilient, taking two hard slaps and still able to say such things, definitely worthy of being a cop.
If it were an ordinary person, they’d probably be knocked out, but Zhang Yufei got up, wiped away the blood from her mouth, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, not bad, quite durable, good, very good, let me see how long you can last." With that, he quickly stepped forward and kicked Zhang Yufei in the stomach.
"Ugh!" Zhang Yufei staggered and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and enduring the pain, but still spat out some blood.
Although it was just a mouthful of blood, not seriously injured, for someone not trained in martial arts, it was still extremely painful.
After coughing twice, she stood up, quickly wiped the blood from her mouth, and said, "Give up; I won’t reveal my team. After I’m gone, he’ll complete the mission for me, haha."
Li Jun furrowed his brow, thinking: Is Zhang Yufei planning something reckless? Otherwise, why speak like that?
But before he could react again, he saw Xue Kong flicker over, clutching Zhang Yufei’s neck and threatening, "Don’t think I won’t kill you. In Earth Dragon, killing someone is no more than squashing an ant. I advise you not to hold on; your companion is among you and will eventually be found by us, it’s just a matter of time."
