"I’m worth 50 million. If you spare me, the money is yours! Not only that, I have three mistresses. One’s a female singer, one’s a young model, and one’s a foreign woman. As long as you spare my life, I’ll give you all three women. They listen to me. I guarantee they’ll make you comfortable, like an emperor..."
To save his own skin, Niu Bi laid all his cards on the table. He knew that if Lin Feng got him to the Police Bureau, considering his criminal record, his only outcome was execution by firing squad. If he was executed, he’d lose everything. Therefore, his money and women, being material possessions, might as well be traded for his life.
Fifty million and three women—quite the bargaining chips!
Lin Feng was also inwardly astonished. He hadn’t expected Niu Bi to be this wealthy. Just moments ago, Niu Bi had told Jack he only had 5 million, but in the blink of an eye, it had become 50 million. Could this guy have even more stashed away—a net worth of 500 million?
However, Lin Feng quickly brushed those thoughts aside. He was on a mission right now. If he were caught pocketing the illicit funds, it would be a serious breach of discipline.
Lin Feng loved money, but not to that extent. Tens of millions weren’t a significant temptation for him.
"Living like an emperor, huh? So that’s in fashion now – having a foreign mistress?" Lin Feng sarcastically retorted. Ignoring Niu Bi’s expression, he strode towards him. "All your talk is useless to me. I’m a public servant. Do you think I’d be tempted by your candy-coated bribes?"
Lin Feng said these words with an air of seriousness, feeling as if he had instantly become the most selfless person in the world.
As he spoke, he suddenly lunged forward, snatching the wrench from Niu Bi’s hand. Then, SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! He struck Niu Bi across the face over a dozen times!
"That’s for Ye Lin, you old lecher!"
Recalling how Ye Lin had almost fallen into Niu Bi’s clutches that night, Lin Feng still seethed with anger.
"Ye Lin? Is Ye Lin also with the police?"
Niu Bi, clutching his face, was astounded. "That bitch... She must’ve betrayed me! She must have given you the info about this trip!"
Niu Bi was grinding his teeth in anger. "I should’ve had her in the hotel room that night. That bitch, I want to screw her to death!"
"Still talking tough when you’re about to die!"
Lin Feng kicked Niu Bi in the stomach. His beer belly couldn’t possibly withstand the powerful kick. Niu Bi instantly spat white froth, collapsing onto the speedboat. He gasped for air, yelping like a dying dog, tears of pain streaming down his face.
Lin Feng grinned and said, "Boss Niu, don’t look at me like that. Didn’t you say you wanted to screw Ye Lin to death? I think, in fairness to you, I should give you a chance. Heh heh..."
After saying this, Lin Feng put on a wicked expression. That Ye Lin was still plotting her revenge on Niu Bi. If he brought Niu Bi before Ye Lin, that scene would surely be something to behold...
Inside the Emperor Dragon Building, as the police began their operation at the docks, plainclothes officers stationed around the building also started to mobilize. They blocked off all surrounding roads and contacted the Police Bureau to dispatch more formidable SWAT reinforcements.
In fact, Ye Lin and Wu Mei had already investigated thoroughly. Most departments in the Emperor Dragon Building operated normally; only some personnel in the transportation department and security department knew about the company’s involvement in drug trafficking.
Therefore, upon hearing police sirens outside the building, most of the Emperor Dragon Group staff were merely curious. However, certain individuals in the transportation and security departments were extremely nervous, quietly observing the developing situation.
After the plainclothes police sealed off all road exits, the SWAT reinforcements arrived.
This operation was headed by Luo Han, the chief of the district Police Bureau responsible for the area where the Emperor Dragon Building was located. He had received orders from his superiors giving him full authority over this arrest operation. So, once everyone was in position, he prepared to lead his team to storm the Emperor Dragon Building.
"Director Wu, this is bad! The police are here, a large number of them! Do you think they’re here for us?!"
The head of the transportation department, Sun Tianlin, rushed into Emperor Dragon Group General Manager Wu Hao’s office, a look of panic on his face.
In the office, Wu Hao was also nervously chain-smoking. He opened the window and saw waves of police officers below, feeling a growing sense of unease.
He had tried calling Niu Bi several times, but no one answered. Could something have happened?
Impossible! Such a meticulous plan couldn’t possibly go wrong!
Looking at Sun Tianlin, Wu Hao blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Don’t panic. Let’s wait and see."
As the head of the transportation department, Sun Tianlin was, of course, one of the key figures in the Emperor Dragon Group’s drug trafficking operations. He hadn’t accompanied the convoy this time and was shocked to find himself in this situation.
"Director Wu, they must be here for us! Otherwise, the police wouldn’t have deployed so many people! Also, I can’t get through to Boss Niu, Ma Xiaojun, or Qiao Sanming. None of their three phones are connecting. If all three aren’t answering at the same time, something must have happened!"
Sun Tianlin had a terrible premonition. Moreover, the sight of police cars terrified him. However, being a man who had always lacked his own judgment, he was completely at a loss for what to do.
Wu Hao’s expression stiffened. Sun Tianlin was right. How could all three of their phones be unreachable? They usually kept in regular contact!
Walking to the window again, he looked at the police officers downstairs. Without any hesitation, a fierce look appeared in Wu Hao’s eyes. He said, "Order our people in the security department and the transportation department to grab weapons! We’ll fight it out with the police!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Sun Tianlin was stunned. Fight the police? Wasn’t that suicide?
"Director Wu, there are too many police officers. We..."
"We can take hostages. There are so many people in the building; we can just grab a few to start. As long as we have hostages, the police won’t dare to do anything to us!"
At this critical moment, Wu Hao revealed the gambler side of his nature. He threw down his cigarette butt and crushed it underfoot.
He knew that the police had definitely blocked all escape routes. Escape was impossible. If they were captured, their fate would be sealed. Therefore, they might as well fight the police, as there was a chance they could fight their way out.
Sun Tianlin, who was more timid than Wu Hao, said worriedly, "But Director Wu, if we draw guns and fight the police, and then fall into their hands, we’ll be finished for sure!"
Wu Hao glared at Sun Tianlin and sneered, "Do you think we’d have any chance of survival if we fall into police hands now? Think about the amount of drugs we’ve trafficked over the years. It’s enough to get us the death sentence ten thousand times over!"
Hearing the words "death sentence," Sun Tianlin’s entire body trembled, and he was rendered speechless.
Seeing this, Wu Hao angrily ordered, "What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and gather our men! Distribute the weapons! Shut down the elevators! Don’t let those cops into the building! Today, I’m going to make those damn cops outside learn what I’m capable of!"
