The Dragon City Rises

Inside the corridor outside a large conference room on the third floor of the Police Department's conference building, Chief Guo, smoking a cigarette, whispered to Wang Daolin, "You can move against him, but you must have sufficient evidence. Understand my meaning?"

"Understood." Wang Daolin nodded. "Du Shengming's phone records, which company his mistress runs, and the nature of his relationship with Changqing, I can trace it all smoothly and put it in the case file."

Chief Guo smiled as he looked at Wang Daolin. "It seems you've prepared thoroughly."

"Serving the people." Wang Daolin saluted in response.

Chief Guo put out his cigarette, reached out, and patted Wang Daolin's shoulder. "He's fallen, but Changqing hasn't. We're all colleagues eating from the same pot. Let's not go for the kill!"

"I understand, I understand."

"Alright, go ahead." Chief Guo officially gave the order.

"Then you stay busy, Chief!" Wang Daolin replied, turning to leave.

Chief Guo watched Wang Daolin leave with a smile, then entered the conference room with a benevolent expression.

…

Near Tonglin Bridge.

Li Xing stood behind a car, bending over and shouting in a low voice, "Listen up, you inside! I'm from the Dragon City Police Department! I'm giving you thirty seconds to drop your weapons and come out of the alley!"

Li Xing's arrival with his officers was a lifesaver for Du Shengming, as the latter had been chased by Da Xiong, Cui Bin, and others for two entire blocks. If it weren't for his loyal brothers risking their lives to protect him, he would probably have been chopped into mincemeat by now.

Du Shengming ran when Li Xing arrived, six or seven knife wounds on his body, his condition unknown. And the officers blocked Da Xiong, Cui Bin, and the others in the alley across the street.

At this moment, Li Xing was excited. His gun-wielding hand trembled. He never expected to encounter the notorious Wu Shixiong tonight!

This kid killed Tang Baiqing and five other officers, raising the Dragon City's wanted level to the maximum. If he could apprehend him today, he could appear at the press conference held by the Police Department tomorrow.

Life is like gambling; how can you live if you don't gamble?

This was Li Xing's life motto. Although he was quite nervous now and knew he didn't have many men around him, he still wanted to try.

After shouting several times, there was no response from inside the alley. Li Xing waved his hand and instructed his brothers beside him, "Damn it, these people are desperate criminals; they might have guns! Like this, you guys flank around from the sides later and check the situation inside. I'll circle around...!"

"Brother, if he has a gun, wouldn't we be easily killed if we go up to surround them?" The brother wasn't stupid and analyzed the situation accurately.

"You guys pull from the sides a bit. We need to see what's happening inside!" Li Xing ordered in a low voice. "Stop arguing, get ready to go!"

Inside the alley.

Cui Bin turned to look at Da Xiong. "It's enough for these guys to scatter us, but sticking so close, are they coming for you?!"

"Seems like it!" Da Xiong nodded.

Cui Bin frowned and shouted back, "Is there a way out in the back?!"

"No, it's a dead end at a factory! It's even more open if we jump out. We have to run back; there's water over there!" A brother replied in a low voice.

Cui Bin glanced outside. "There aren't many officers, and they're weak. Call Lao Er over. Let's rush out together!"

"Alright!"

"You run first later; I'll cover you." Cui Bin specifically said to Da Xiong.

"Okay." Da Xiong had recently noticed that many people were much more polite and caring towards him, completely different from before. Back then, it was difficult for him to make friends, and few people were even willing to look at him.

Once everyone had finished discussing, Cui Bin waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

Seconds later, three officers, sweat pouring from their foreheads, ran over from the side, standing at the entrance on the left side of the alley.

"Weng!"

Just then, the cars that were supposed to pick up Cui Bin arrived from the outside, three SUVs speeding towards the alley entrance.

"Damn it!" Li Xing immediately jumped and shouted, "Don't let them escape!"

At the entrance of the alley, the three officers drew their guns and shot at the SUVs, but they were too nervous. The number of gangsters was probably several times theirs, and they didn't know if the others had guns, so they were dodging the impact of the cars, retreating while shooting.

"Run!"

Cui Bin roared inside the alley, and everyone charged out in big strides.

At the same time, Li Xing and the others also surrounded the alley entrance, shooting from a distance.

The drivers of the three SUVs didn't dare to stop, because once they stopped, if the tires were shot out, they would completely lose their mobility. But at this time, they didn't dare to shoot either, fearing that they would make things too big and cause trouble for the Yu family, because the opponents were, after all, police officers. A brawl was one thing, but shooting police officers was something else entirely.

At the entrance of the alley.

Cui Bin and the others rushed out, each running towards a car.

Inside the lead car, a burly man pulled out an automatic rifle and shouted out of the car, "If you fucking shoot again, I'll mow you all down!"

When Li Xing and the others saw the gun, they really thought they were going to start firing, so they scattered to find cover.

Da Xiong and five others squeezed into the cars and quickly fled the scene. During this time, two of Cui Bin's brothers were shot while covering him, one in the abdomen and one in the chest, and died on the spot!

Cui Bin's eyes turned red with anger. Holding the automatic rifle, he turned around to start掃射, but a fashionable young man in the passenger seat grabbed him: "Brother, we can't make things bigger, the Yu family is still here!!"

Cui Bin turned to look at Li Xing, his eyes full of hatred.

The three cars dispersed and left. Li Xing wasn't in a hurry at the moment, only staring at the car Da Xiong was in, and immediately waved and shouted, "Quick, get in the car, chase him!"

Just then, the phone in Li Xing's pocket rang: "Hello!"

"Where are you?!" A deep male voice thundered.

Li Xing got into the car: "I ran into the wanted criminal who killed Tang Baiqing at Tonglin Bridge, I'm going to catch him...!"

"You haven't heard any rumors?" The other party asked.

"What rumors?!"

"You're still arresting a wanted criminal! You're a wanted criminal now!" The other party roared in a low voice: "Lao Guo wants to get you, Wang Daolin has been monitoring your mistress and Du Shengming, you better run, get out of the city!"

"No... it can't be! I even gave Lao Guo gold bars!!" Li Xing was stunned.

"Stop fucking dreaming! If the higher-ups want to get you, giving them a gold mountain won't help! Hurry up and go!"

…

Tianhong Port.

Li Hongze received a phone call and got up to leave.

Zhang Zhengfang casually asked, "Lao Li, where are you going?"

Li Hongze smiled at the other party: "Hehe, it's nothing, I'm going to the bathroom, you guys talk, you guys talk!"

Inside the conference room, Xu Hu held the phone and questioned: "Where are the people?! When will they arrive? Wei Xiangzuo has already shown up on Erdao Street!"
