Chapter 630 - 628: Showdown
"Hmph, do you think this is your home? Searching just because you said so, not a chance. This is our Earth Dragon, with many valuables stored here. If anything goes missing or gets damaged, can you afford to compensate?"
Peng Wanli started bullshitting, actually trying to buy time. The goods in the factory weren’t much; at most, they’d have to shut down the factory, but there was a huge amount in the warehouse. If found, even their backers couldn’t help.
"Valuables? It’s your goods, isn’t it." Zhao Bing chuckled coldly, then with a stern face, "Today, whether you let me search or not, I’m going to search."
Peng Wanli frowned. It seemed this director was a stubborn one. Even after getting injured just now, he was still so arrogant.
He signaled to Wang Tao beside him, meaning for him to hold on. As long as Big Brother Hu Fei and Xue Kong settled things, the police wouldn’t be able to do anything either.
"What goods? You’re talking nonsense. Aren’t you a policeman? Do you understand what evidence is? Do you have any proof?" Peng Wanli was obviously starting to get angry.
"I have evidence."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. Everyone was stunned and quickly looked forward to see Li Jun walking over.
Wang Tao and Peng Wanli were caught off guard, turning around to see Li Jun, suddenly realizing.
From the beginning, he had some doubts about this person and was even directly pointed out as an undercover by that female officer. At that time, Master Xue didn’t believe it, but now it was clearly evident he was a cop.
"You... What evidence do you have?"
When Peng Wanli saw Li Jun, he felt a bit uneasy. It would be fine if he didn’t recognize Li Jun, but this guy had been working in the factory for several days. If he was indeed the informant, then knowing where everyone was hiding wasn’t difficult.
Li Jun didn’t answer Peng Wanli and instead walked straight to Zhao Bing’s side, whispered in his ear for a while.
Zhao Bing was instantly elated.
"Haha, evidence? I’ll find the evidence and let you see it, give you a quick death." Zhao Bing waved his hand, and the troops behind followed forward.
"Stop! What are you trying to do?" Peng Wanli knew things were possibly exposed, hurriedly trying to stop them.
"Clack clack clack!"
Dozens of guns pointed at Peng Wanli in an instant. Zhao Bing now felt confident, Li Jun had already revealed the location of the goods. Shooting now wouldn’t be too much since Peng Wanli was already obstructing their official duties.
"Hmph."
Zhao Bing didn’t pay much attention to Wang Tao and Peng Wanli, directly leading his team towards the old warehouse, leaving Director Qu behind with about a dozen SWAT members to guard. The purpose was clear, to prevent these two from reporting to others.
"Fifth Brother, what should we do? Seems like our workers have been discovered, damn it."
Wang Tao felt a bit helpless. With so many SWAT members outside, they certainly couldn’t escape from there. As for Zhao Bing’s side, they were powerless too. With dozens of machine guns and a practitioner, taking the goods away was impossible.
After thinking it through, the two finally decided to escape through the hidden passage.
Peng Wanli suddenly took something dark and gloomy out of his pocket and threw it forward, releasing a billowing smoke.
This was their specially made smoke bomb. In that instant, Director Qu realized things weren’t right and hurriedly led the team forward to surround them.
A few seconds later, the smoke cleared, and Wang Tao and Peng Wanli were gone.
"Director, they’re gone, what now?"
A SWAT team member rushed forward, found nothing, and quickly shouted.
Director Qu was frustrated. These two actually managed to escape right under his nose. But it was strange; even if they were fast, it was impossible to escape so silently in just a few seconds, truly baffling.
"Hoo!"
Director Qu took a deep breath and decided to follow Zhao Bing’s direction.
But as they walked only a short distance, a loud boom was heard, causing everyone to warily turn back, seeing the entrance shrouded in smoke and dust, a scene of devastation.
"Report, Director! Bad news, the entrance is blocked, huge rocks have appeared in the middle, likely from an explosion that sealed it."
A SWAT member went to investigate and came back to report the detailed situation.
"Hiss!" Director Qu took a sharp breath, realizing they had fallen into a trap, blocked inside.
Thinking quickly, he hurriedly pulled out his phone to call the squad leader Huang Bin outside, asking them to search the warehouse and meet with Zhang Yufei, otherwise, time would run out.
But suddenly found, there was no signal.
"Damn, signal’s been jammed." Director Qu was annoyed, knowing the cave’s design originally jammed signals to prevent workers inside from leaking secrets.
At this time, Zhao Bing led a large group of workers and several sacks of goods over. This was evidence, and had to be brought out; professionals also took many photos as evidence.
"Old Hong, big trouble, our entrance is blocked." Watching Zhao Bing happily approaching, seemingly unaware of their current predicament.
Indeed, after hearing it, Zhao Bing frowned. This was no good, Chen Tianlong and Zhang Yufei were waiting outside for their rescue, and now everyone’s trapped, how could they possibly rescue anyone?
"Old Qu, don’t panic, wait, did those two blow up the door?" Zhao Bing suddenly thought of something, where had those two gone?
Director Qu gave a wry smile, saying, "They escaped."
"Escaped? How did they escape, where did they flee?"
Zhao Bing widened his eyes, a bit incredulously asking, with so many SWAT members pointing guns, plus Director Qu, a skilled person, how could they have just run off?
"I also don’t know where they ran to, but I’m certain it wasn’t the entrance, after all, we had so many people guarding it." Director Qu explained.
"Hiss~" Zhao Bing took a sharp breath, something felt off. If it wasn’t from the entrance, then from where? Could there be a mechanism nearby?
"If I’m not mistaken, there’s a mechanism here, Old Hong, and it’s nearby." Director Qu directly voiced his suspicion.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Zhao Bing nodded, not saying much more but walking to the side, "Everyone split up and look for any suspicious places, or we might end up trapped here."
With that said, more than fifty SWAT members, along with over thirty workers, began searching for an exit.
Walking deep into the cave led directly to the warehouse, and they had just searched the warehouse, finding nothing significant. But from what Director Qu said, if those two disappeared in seconds, the mechanism should be nearby.
