In the police station!
Xu Weiwei stood in the director's office and handed the gun in her hand to Director Yan.
She told him everything that had happened the previous night.
Director Yan took the gun and frowned, "Is this the gun the perpetrator was holding last night?"
Seeing Xu Weiwei nod, Director Yan's expression grew more solemn. He now realized the seriousness of the matter, that this underground force had become so rampant as to dare assassinate police officers.
After a long pause, he took a deep breath and asked sternly, "If I reinstate your authority, can you handle this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Weiwei's face lit up with joy, and she said with a serious expression, "Director, I guarantee I can complete the mission!"
Director Yan sighed and continued, "Actually, I shouldn't let you take this risk. After all, if anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to the old chief!"
Seeing that Xu Weiwei remained silent, he smiled and said, "But I know your personality. If I don't let you handle this, you'll probably hate me as a leader. Moreover, it is our duty as police officers not to fear danger. So I only hope you will be careful!"
"I understand, Director!" Xu Weiwei nodded.
"Also, that Southeast Asian businessman named Mr. Jin has been very active along the coast in recent years, leading to the influx of many contraband items into the country. This person must also be apprehended if possible!"
"You will carry out these two missions simultaneously. I will make all the police force at the bureau available for your deployment! Additionally, I need to go to the army first."
After all, it would be difficult to eradicate this evil force relying solely on the police.
Director Yan had made up his mind this time to completely dismantle the Ba Tian Hu organization.
...
At this moment, Ye Cangtian arrived at Jinxiu Mountain Villa!
Because he had the listening devices from Xu Weiwei last night, he knew that Ba Tian Hu might make a move against Jinxiu Mountain Villa tonight, so he came to remind Liu Rumei and the others.
"Ba Tian Hu is too arrogant to dare attack our Jinxiu Mountain Villa. Does he really think we're easy to bully?" Liu Zhendong gritted his teeth.
Liu Rumei also frowned. She had expected Ba Tian Hu to attack the other three forces, and even Guo Hai.
But she hadn't expected Ba Tian Hu to set his sights on Jinxiu Mountain Villa!
After all, the other party had attacked Jinxiu Mountain Villa once six years ago, and it was precisely on that occasion that Ba Tian Hu was defeated, not only defeated thoroughly but also fled in disarray like a stray dog.
Therefore, Liu Rumei had never thought that the other party would come again.
Ye Cangtian drank his tea and said with a faint smile, "Although Jinxiu Mountain Villa can be considered a natural barrier, making it difficult to attack, if he wasn't confident, why would he set his sights on you?"
Liu Rumei fell silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Mr. Ye means the Copper Masked Killer?"
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile, raising an eyebrow, "Are you implying that your villa also has someone who can contend with that person?"
As soon as this was said, not only did Liu Rumei's expression change slightly, but even Liu Zhendong was startled!
Ye Cangtian smiled and remained silent. He naturally knew that there was a hidden expert with considerable strength in Jinxiu Mountain Villa.
In fact, he had sensed it faintly last time, but he wasn't entirely sure. However, today he sensed the other party's presence again, so he naturally guessed it.
Liu Rumei gave a helpless smile, "It seems nothing can be hidden from Mr. Ye!"
This was an admission!
Ye Cangtian was not surprised and continued, "I don't know much about Ba Tian Hu, but since he has decided to attack Jinxiu Mountain Villa, he must have confidence."
"No one knows if his trump card is truly the Copper Masked Killer. Perhaps he has someone behind him, who knows!"
It was indeed suspicious that Ba Tian Hu was always accompanied by strong individuals, first the Six Golden Guardians, and then the emergence of the Copper Masked Killer.
At this point, Liu Rumei and Liu Zhendong both became much more serious.
Liu Rumei looked up at Ye Cangtian, her expression complex, "If Mr. Ye could lend us a hand, what are your terms!"
She was a shrewd woman!
From Ye Cangtian coming to remind her to his analysis now, Liu Rumei could guess that Ye Cangtian intended to act, and she also knew that he wouldn't do it for nothing.
In fact, her guess was not wrong; Ye Cangtian did intend to act.
Last night, Ba Tian Hu retaliated against Xu Weiwei, which showed him that the man was vengeful. Such a cruel and ferocious individual would eventually clash with him.
Although he didn't want to get involved in underground forces or any organization's affairs, he also didn't want anyone to threaten him or the people around him.
Therefore, he would rather help Liu Rumei to deal with Ba Tian Hu, and at the same time, uncover the person or force behind him.
Ye Cangtian said, "I have no other requests, only one: I hope you owe me a favor. It might be useful to you in the future."
What he said was somewhat arrogant, but Liu Rumei knew very well that he had the capital to be arrogant.
So at this moment, Liu Rumei nodded, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ye. Your affairs will be my affairs from now on!"
...
That day!
Whether it was Ba Tian Hu or Liu Rumei's side, they were all making preparations in full swing.
Although it was calm, it was like the prelude to a storm.
The entire Jinxiu Mountain Villa was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
The sky darkened.
Liu Zhendong returned from outside and said grimly, "Big Sister, Mr. Ye, I just received news that that bastard Ba Tian Hu has indeed gathered many elites. They are estimated to depart after dark."
This confirmed Ye Cangtian's previous words; Ba Tian Hu was indeed about to make his move.
Liu Rumei nodded and asked, "What about Qianxue?"
"I have sent someone to escort Miss Qianxue back to the Fu family. To be safe, I have notified the Fu family and told them to be careful."
This was also out of concern that Ba Tian Hu might unscrupulously use the Fu family as leverage.
After Liu Zhendong finished speaking, his expression turned ugly, "Originally, I ordered people to notify the three major forces, but they were worried about their territories being seized and refused to send anyone!"
This matter made Liu Zhendong extremely angry. What happened to the promised alliance?
But when it came down to it, they only cared about their own small piece of land.
Liu Rumei was not surprised at all. She had expected this long ago. The so-called alliance was merely to keep warm by huddling together when everyone was at a disadvantage.
But once the disadvantage became too great, or when it came to sacrificing one's own interests to help others, the alliance naturally became meaningless.
Liu Rumei turned to Ye Cangtian and asked, "Mr. Ye, what do you think our chances of winning are?"
Ye Cangtian smoked, and said slowly, "The odds of winning depend on how strong Ba Tian Hu's trump card behind him is!"
However, if there were several more individuals of the Copper Masked Killer's caliber, he was confident he could handle them!
But what if there were stronger ones?
