Chapter 297: Chapter 49 Unstoppable_2
Li Fei killed that person, which means that person deserved to die!
Her logic had always been that simple.
Li Fei managed a smile at Li Tianyu, her emotions calming considerably.
A few minutes later, an Inspector came out of the watchtower, leading a suspect in custody.
An Inspector suddenly ran to the side and began to vomit.
Following this person’s lead, several others soon joined in the vomiting.
Lu Sheng furrowed his brow and stepped forward to ask.
The people from the first squad were all experienced Inspectors he had trained himself, who had seen all sorts of bloody, disgusting scenes. Why would they now be vomiting like fledglings?
“Captain, inside there…”
An Inspector whispered a few words into Lu Sheng’s ear.
After hearing the report, Lu Sheng’s face turned pale with immense anger boiling within him.
He strode towards the group from the Chen Family:
“How dare you keep a human pig?!”
He finally understood why Li Fei had been so emotional earlier.
“Hostages? What hostages?”
Li Tianyu asked with a puzzled look.
After a moment of thought, Li Fei didn’t hide it from her and whispered an explanation in her ear.
A so-called human pig is when a person’s limbs are all amputated, their eyes gouged out, nose, tongue, and ears cut off, and then kept alive with drugs in a jar…
This was the first time Li Tianyu had heard of such an inhumane method, and she instinctively felt nauseated.
Then she too erupted in rage, pointing at the group from the Chen Family and cursing loudly:
“Take them all into custody!”
Lu Sheng commanded, pointing at the Chen Family members.
Subsequently, the surrounding Inspectors stepped forward and handcuffed all of them.
Thirty minutes later, Lu Sheng led the team back.
The initial expectation was to arrest about a dozen people, but in the end, there were hundreds to be taken into custody!
He had to leave some team members behind in Chen Family Village to stand guard, while he took the key suspects, witnesses, and evidence back.
But just as the convoy had left Chen Family Village not far behind, they were intercepted.
In front of them on the road, a convoy of about a dozen black cars blocked the way.
The cars from the Inspection Bureau came to a halt.
Lu Sheng got out of the car, Li Fei and Li Tianyu as well, along with an armed Inspector.
On the other side, one by one, Martial Artists in combat attire alighted from the black cars, each holding a Weapon.
The numbers on both sides were comparable, but with one side composed entirely of Martial Artists, they possessed a crushing advantage in momentum!
The overwhelming pressure felt like a towering tsunami sweeping towards the Inspection Bureau’s side, causing the normally capable Inspectors to feel as though they were suffocating.
“Even the Inspection Bureau’s convoy you dare to stop? Are you trying to rebel?!”
Lu Sheng, fighting back the immense pressure, stepped forward and yelled loudly.
The person in the lead on the other side was Chai Jue, the Chen Family’s chief Tributor, a Refining Strength Martial Master at the Qi Change Stage Peak.
He also took a step forward, staring at Lu Sheng:
“Captain Lu, sorry, the car’s broken down and we can’t make way!”
Lu Sheng had a serious look on his face.
The Chen Family was using the same tactics as Zhu Qingyan, which were to stall for time.
Stall until someone from the higher-ups would come to force Lu Sheng to release them.
Given the Chen Family’s influence in Xing City’s official circles, combined with Chief Lan Changqun’s considerations for balance, this was a real possibility.
Lu Sheng guessed that Li Lei was undoubtedly under tremendous pressure at this moment; he just didn’t know when he would break down.
Only by successfully bringing the people back to the Inspection Bureau and completing the chain of evidence would there be a real possibility of convicting the Chen Family.
Before that, the outcome of this struggle was still uncertain.
“All units, raise your Rifles!”
Lu Sheng raised his arm and issued the order loudly.
The excuse of a broken down car was just that, an excuse. If Lu Sheng sent someone to inspect it or even tried to move the cars forcibly, the other side undoubtedly had a series of measures waiting for him.
Dozens of armed Inspectors against dozens of Martial Artists would certainly be at a disadvantage.
Thus, Lu Sheng decisively ordered everyone to raise their Rifles and take a hard stance!
All the Inspectors who alighted raised their Tiger Rifles and pointed them at the Martial Artists from the Chen Family.
Seeing this, Chai Jue sneered, not fearful at all.
He used his Force to project his voice, speaking loudly:
“Captain Lu, we just had our vehicle fail, and now you want to shoot and kill people? Doesn’t that seem unreasonable?”
Lu Sheng did not entertain the comment, continuing to exert pressure on the opponents.
The Inspectors all cocked their Rifles, chambering the rounds.
Chai Jue’s eyes turned cold, and with a swish, he drew his own sword:
“If the Inspection Bureau insists on senselessly killing the innocent, then we’ll be forced to defend ourselves, and if the matter is taken up to Datong Prefecture, it will be us who are in the right!”
With his sword drawn, the dozens of Martial Artists behind him also flashed their Weapons and spread out their formation, ready to charge at a moment’s notice.
Lu Sheng felt his heart sinking.
It was clear to him that if he dared to give the order to open fire, the other side would truly dare to counterattack!
The most critical issue was that even if the dozens of Inspectors fired their weapons, at this distance, they certainly would not stand a chance against the dozens of Martial Artists.
The two sides were less than 50 meters apart, the Inspection Bureau could at most fire one round; unless they could ensure a hit with every shot, they would be overrun by the Martial Artists.
Just as Lu Sheng felt caught between a rock and a hard place, a shadow passed by him and walked towards the front.
“Uncle Lu, let me handle this.”
Li Fei left those words behind and then faced the dozens of Martial Artists ahead alone.
As he did so, the overwhelming pressure that had been on them shifted onto him alone.
