"Wan Yunting, are you alright?"
Seeing Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi being helped ashore from the coast guard vessel by the police officers, Wu Bo-chao, Niu Qiu-ling, Cao Peng, and the others rushed forward. Noticing a blood-soaked patch on the back of his shirt, Wan Yunting smiled and waved his hand, "I'm fine, I won't die."
"That's good."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they saw Chen Tao, Ma Xin, and the others being detained and brought to the dock. Wu Bo-chao looked at them coldly and said to Niu Qiu-ling and Cao Peng, "Take them back to the police station."
"Yes."
Niu Qiu-ling nodded and waved his hand. Chen Tao, Ma Xin, and the others were escorted into a police car, with other police vehicles providing escort, heading back to the city police station.
"Yunting, you should get into the ambulance quickly and go to the hospital to have the bullet removed," Wu Bo-chao said.
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded and was helped into an ambulance by a doctor.
Fang Yanxi said a few words to Lin Xiao-qi, who quickly followed, "I'll go with you to the hospital."
Wan Yunting, lying on his back, turned his head to look at her and smiled, nodding.
They didn't speak much along the way. They soon arrived at a hospital near Longwan Pier in Haimen District. Wan Yunting was immediately taken into the operating room for surgery to remove the bullet.
Fang Yanxi waited outside and called her parents, explaining the events at the pier that night, which greatly shocked Fang Guo-wen and others who were taking care of the elderly man at Southern Hospital...
Wu Bo-chao was still at Longwan Pier cleaning up the scene, while the police cars escorting Chen Tao and the others were heading back to the city police station.
However, halfway there, two black Land Rover vehicles suddenly appeared. The sunroofs opened, and a man directly raised a rocket launcher and fired at the second-to-last police escort vehicle in front.
"Not good!"
Niu Qiu-ling, sitting in the police car, saw this scene in the rearview mirror and cried out in alarm.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the police car escorting Chen Tao and the others was directly blown into the air, engulfed in flames. It also overturned the third police car from the front, frightening the vehicles behind to brake hard to avoid a collision.
Niu Qiu-ling and Cao Peng quickly stopped and began firing at the two Land Rover vehicles.
Bang bang...
The people inside included foreign and Southeast Asian faces, who returned fire at the police officers.
However, the foreign man, certain that Chen Tao and the others were dead, waved his hand, ordering his team to retreat. They blew out the tires of several civilian cars passing by and drove them sideways onto the road. They then turned their vehicles and sped away, leaving Niu Qiu-ling unable to pursue them.
"Cao Peng..."
Seeing Cao Peng shot and fall to the ground, and the police car escorting Chen Tao and the others engulfed in flames, it was clear that no one inside had survived.
This made Niu Qiu-ling stomp his feet in anger. With a face full of fury, he took out his phone and called Wu Bo-chao.
"What, how could this happen..."
Upon hearing that the convoy had been ambushed by mysterious thugs, Wu Bo-chao's face changed drastically, and he couldn't believe it. He quickly said, "I'll send people to support you immediately..."
After hanging up the call, Wu Bo-chao immediately instructed the remaining police officers to return and support Niu Qiu-ling, while he hurried to call Director Pang to report the incident.
"What..."
Pang Yuan, sitting in his office chair, was so shocked by the news that he jumped up angrily, "Presumptuous, too presumptuous! They dared to openly attack the police! These people are simply lawless!"
"Director Pang, what should we do now?"
Wu Bo-chao was furious. They had just been immersed in the joy of successfully capturing Chen Tao and the others, only to be met with such a turn of events.
"Pursue them! Use all our strength to catch them!" Pang Yuan was enraged.
This was a blatant provocation to the police and the country!
Soon, the police deployed all their resources to pursue the thugs who had ambushed Niu Qiu-ling's convoy. However, after a whole night of pursuit, the thugs seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no trace of them.
Finally, at three in the morning, on the bank of the Zhu River, two black Land Rovers were salvaged from the river, but the thugs had long since disappeared!
Meanwhile, at Haimen Hospital, outside the operating room, Fang Yanxi sat on a chair, waiting with a worried expression.
At this moment, Ma Zhen-dong strode over and asked, "Haven't they come out yet?"
Fang Yanxi looked at him in confusion. Ma Zhen-dong introduced himself, "I am Ma Zhen-dong, the warden of Huadu Prison. You must be Fang Yanxi."
"Warden..."
Fang Yanxi was startled and quickly got up to greet him. Ma Zhen-dong waved his hand to her. Immediately, the operating room door opened, and several doctors pushed Wan Yunting out.
"Doctor, how is it?" Fang Yanxi and Ma Zhen-dong immediately went up.
"The bullet has been removed, the wound is not deep, he is fine," the doctor said.
"That's good." Fang Yanxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wan Yunting, lying on the gurney, woke up, turned his head, and smiled at Fang Yanxi. Ma Zhen-dong, standing to his right, patted his wound, "Don't just stare at the beauty, look over here."
Fang Yanxi's pretty face blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Why are you here?"
Wan Yunting turned to look at him. Ma Zhen-dong rolled his eyes, "Director Pang said you were shot, so I came to see if you were dead, so I could report it to your master."
"That would disappoint my master."
Wan Yunting smiled and pushed him into a ward, where he continued to lie on the bed.
Seeing Fang Yanxi accompanying him, Wan Yunting smiled, "Yanxi, I'm fine now, you should go back."
Just then, Director Pang pushed the door open. Ma Zhen-dong and Wan Yunting smiled, "Director Pang, why are you here too?"
"Something has happened!"
However, Pang Yuan's face was grim. Wan Yunting and Ma Zhen-dong were stunned. Fang Yanxi, of course, recognized the director of the Huadu Police Bureau.
"The police convoy escorting Chen Tao and Kun Xiong was attacked by a mysterious group en route, and Chen Tao and Kun Xiong died on the spot!" Pang Yuan said with a heavy heart.
"What!"
Wan Yunting's expression changed drastically. Ma Zhen-dong couldn't believe it, "Who is so bold to dare to attack our police force?"
Fang Yanxi, overhearing the news of Chen Tao's death, was also shocked.
"Who did it?"
Wan Yunting asked in a low, cold voice.
Pang Yuan said, "It is currently speculated that it was the forces behind Chen Tao and Kun Xiong. Their audacity in attacking our police force shows they don't want us to bring Chen Tao and Kun Xiong back to the police station for interrogation about their backing forces!"
"Damn it, this is too arrogant."
Ma Zhen-dong was enraged. They simply didn't fear the police and were openly challenging them.
Pang Yuan sighed, "This whole incident is so serious because I wanted to interrogate their backing forces through Chen Tao and Kun Xiong. However, I miscalculated."
Ma Zhen-dong also sighed helplessly. Seeing Wan Yunting's grim expression, he knew he was extremely angry.
Wan Yunting had originally intended to capture Chen Tao and hand him over to the police to receive his just punishment, but now he was dead!
"Xiao Wan, even if Chen Tao is dead, as long as we have the evidence, the court can still overturn the verdict and clear your name!" Ma Zhen-dong comforted him.
"I know."
Wan Yunting nodded, but his eyes were sharp and malicious, "But with Chen Tao's death, I can't find out if my parents were killed by him!"
These words made Fang Yanxi look at the man in shock.
After Wan Yunting was imprisoned, she had transferred to study abroad, so she had no idea that his parents had died in a car accident.
It wasn't until she returned to the country a few months ago that she learned about it.
And now, Wan Yunting suspected that Chen Tao was responsible for his parents' deaths!
Ma Zhen-dong knew about this, but Pang Yuan was unaware that Wan Yunting was still investigating his parents' affairs.
"Damn it, I should have questioned Chen Tao on the yacht!"
Wan Yunting angrily punched the hospital bed. Now that Chen Tao was dead, the clue regarding his parents was severed!
"Director Pang, regarding the car accident involving Xiao Wan's parents back then, you must have your subordinates re-investigate it and see if any clues can be found!" Ma Zhen-dong said to Director Pang.
However, he only intended to comfort Wan Yunting.
After all, his parents' car accident back then had been judged as an accidental death by the traffic police.
Furthermore, with so much time having passed, it was unrealistic to reinvestigate now.
"Okay."
Pang Yuan nodded in agreement, told Wan Yunting to rest well, and then left to deal with the aftermath.
And tonight in Huadu, it was destined to be a night of bloodshed...
