Chapter 635 - 633: Destroying the Evidence
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, thinking to himself, what exactly is Xue Kong trying to do? Why move the goods to the riverside, could it be...?
"Damn, he wants to destroy the evidence."
Chen Tianlong recalled the words he overheard earlier, and now upon reflection, Xue Kong surely thought the police would eventually find their way here, and there wasn’t a safe place found in time.
Given this, it would be better to throw everything into the river; even if the police arrive, the evidence will be destroyed, and Earth Dragon can still be preserved.
This was the worst-case scenario. Chen Tianlong thought they wouldn’t resort to such extreme actions, yet it came so unexpectedly.
"What to do? What to do?" Chen Tianlong kept asking himself. If the evidence is destroyed, then the Earth Dragon will turn the situation around.
Initially, the police brought a large team here, thinking they could find solid evidence and take down the entire Earth Dragon Organization, but if the evidence is destroyed now, they would have trespassed on Earth Dragon’s territory, disrupting their domain.
Suddenly, an idea struck Chen Tianlong, and he seemed to have thought of something.
He couldn’t deal with Xue Kong, but he could handle those people; as long as they couldn’t transport the goods, Xue Kong would be helpless since he couldn’t carry them alone.
So, taking advantage of the gap during the fight, Chen Tianlong suddenly pulled a few silver needles out of his pocket. Even though there were over twenty people handling the transport, he realized it was impossible to take them all down at once.
Therefore, he didn’t plan to take down all the workers, just whoever was carrying the goods.
With four silver needles in his right hand, he suddenly tossed them, and four people carrying goods up ahead fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Xue Kong was furious and forcefully ordered the remaining people, "Hurry up and carry the goods over, or face execution when we return."
"Gah?" Hearing Xue Kong’s threat, the group was terrified, immediately rushing into the warehouse to start moving the goods.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong felt something was wrong; if they were allowed to transport the goods smoothly, the warehouse would be cleared in less than ten minutes, and once the evidence was destroyed, the operation would be completely doomed.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong could no longer be bothered with Xue Kong in front of him. He immediately executed the Ghost Shadow Step and dashed into the crowd, preparing to stop their transport. But the next moment, he only felt a powerful wave of Qi hitting his back.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound echoed, stronger than before, and Chen Tianlong was hurled backward, crashing hard against the cave wall.
"Puh~"
A mouthful of bright red blood spewed from Chen Tianlong in the air; he only felt his vision blur, blood continually seeping from the corners of his mouth, clearly gravely injured.
Chen Tianlong struggled to support himself with one hand, then kneeled on one knee, gasping heavily. This was the strongest enemy he faced, and no matter what move he used, he surely couldn’t win.
At this moment, the only solution he could think of was for Director Zhao to be quickly found by Zhang Yufei and come to secure the goods. Otherwise, even if he were to die, it would be in vain.
In the secret passage.
The uncle hurried deeper into the passage, but after walking about five or six hundred meters, he suddenly heard noises ahead and quickly hid in a small room to the side.
"Fifth brother, those police are completely blocked by us, there’s no way they can find the exit. This mechanism can only be opened from the outside, hahaha."
Wang Tao was clearly very pleased; fifty or sixty police officers had fallen into their trap, trapped in the cave by just the two of them, and thinking about it made him happy.
"Yes, but..."
Peng Wanli was still a bit worried. After all, not all officers were inside the cave; there were over a hundred SWAT officers outside. If they waited too long and found a way to blast it open, their situation would become tense.
"But what? Let me tell you, we’ve done this absolutely right this time. As for how to deal with the people inside and the officers outside, it’s not for us to worry, Master Xue and the big brother are there."
Wang Tao knew what Peng Wanli was worried about, but he was also a smart person. As long as their goods weren’t discovered, then there wouldn’t be any evidence, and the police couldn’t do anything to them.
"Alright, let’s hurry and find the big brother, no more delays." Peng Wanli couldn’t make up his mind either, as this matter related to the survival of Earth Dragon.
After saying that, the two ran ahead quickly.
Not long after the two left, the uncle emerged, and after taking a deep breath, he realized the situation wasn’t good.
Earlier they mentioned a mechanism, which meant there was one at the secret passage door. The last time he moved goods through here, the door was open, but he didn’t know where the mechanism was.
Following the secret passage, the uncle ran all the way, soon arriving at the passage’s entrance.
Sure enough, the door here was closed. The uncle searched continuously but still didn’t find the mechanism after a long time.
"Damn, there’s not enough time. Once the fourth and fifth leaders get out, that kid definitely won’t hold up." The uncle was worried, but suddenly he heard hurried footsteps behind him, so he quickly hid.
Before long, a woman’s figure appeared in the middle of the passage.
"Huh? Isn’t that the female cop? How did she get here? Could she be here to rescue someone?" Thinking of this, the uncle was about to step out, but as soon as he emerged, he found the person was gone, "Where did they go?"
Zhang Yufei originally intended to walk directly to the door but suddenly noticed a shadow near the entrance, knowing someone was hiding nearby. As a police officer, her vigilance was very high, so she immediately hid as well.
Sure enough, after a while, she saw a man in his thirties or forties sneakily poking his head out, looking around with a somewhat bewildered expression, making her secretly laugh, "Hmph, trying to ambush me, no way."
After observing for a while and finding the person gone, the uncle was a bit frustrated, but since it was the police, he figured they wouldn’t attack him maliciously, so he paid no more mind and turned towards the door, continuing his search for the mechanism.
However, just as the uncle turned his foot, he felt a light breeze behind him, quickly turning around, he found his hands suddenly gripped and pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"Don’t move, I’m the police."
Zhang Yufei knew this was just an ordinary worker; otherwise, such an attack would be useless against a practitioner.
"What? Police... policewoman, I... I’m a good person." The uncle didn’t know how to explain for a moment and just said something casually.
"Ha, a good person? There’s not one good soul in your Earth Dragon. Quickly, tell me what you’re doing here." Zhang Yufei didn’t believe this uncle was a good person, glaring at him threateningly.
"Uh... Chen Tianlong, yes, Chen Tianlong. You know him, he told me to come rescue people, the police in the factory." Frantic, the uncle suddenly remembered the person who sent him, named Chen Tianlong, and blurted it out.
