Xiaoming drove to the next location. After receiving the report, Chief Zhou of the police station drove to the bar. Seeing the scattered remains, broken limbs, and blood everywhere on the ground, he quickly covered his mouth and ran out.
Chief Zhou didn't hold much hope for Long Xiao and the others. He waited by the phone at the police station, ready to send people to collect their bodies.
To his complete surprise, not only were Long Xiao and the others alive, but they had also eliminated a group of members of the Da Long Gang.
With renewed confidence, Chief Zhou immediately gathered his men and led the team personally to reinforce Long Xiao and the others. He felt that the Da Long Gang was finished this time.
Xiaoming drove into the mountainous area and, with Zhou Xia's guidance, quickly reached the entrance of a manor.
"Sister Zhou, is this the headquarters of the Da Long Gang?" Xiaoming asked.
Zhou Xia shook her head and said, "No, this is the manor of Protector Zhao of the Da Long Gang."
"Does he have many family members?" Ye Mei asked.
Zhou Xia shook her head and said, "Not many, about thirty or so people. Most of them are servants and bodyguards. There are only eight Zhao family members."
According to the information, the strongest members of the Da Long Gang were the four Protectors and two Elders. These six people were the peak combat power of the Da Long Gang. If they encountered someone they couldn't defeat, the Da Long Gang would retreat.
The iron gate of the manor was tightly shut. Xiaoming honked the horn, but after waiting for two minutes, the gate didn't open. It seemed as if no one lived there.
"Is there no one inside?" Xiaoming asked.
Zhou Xia shook her head and said, "Impossible. There are quite a few bodyguards and servants in the manor. Even if the bodyguards left with Mr. Zhao, the servants would still stay." Kuai Shu Ge.
Xiaoming got out of the car, carrying the Black Iron cleaver, and prepared to chop down the gate. Ye Mei said, "Let me do it. It's too cruel to make a mess with blood everywhere."
Ye Mei got out of the car and looked back at Zhou Xia, asking, "Are we only killing the Zhao family, or leaving no stone unturned?"
Zhou Xia hadn't expected Xiaoming to be so quick to kill when they set out, so she hadn't clarified some issues.
"I'll ask about this. Generally speaking, we in the police try not to kill whenever possible. Punishing criminals is not our responsibility," Zhou Xia said.
Zhou Xia called Chief Zhou for an inquiry.
Chief Zhou listened to Zhou Xia's question and said, "We are police officers, not butchers. We should kill as few as possible."
Zhou Xia conveyed Chief Zhou's intentions to Ye Mei. Ye Mei sighed and said, "You police work is so troublesome. If we're eradicating a tumor, why not just leave none behind?"
Ye Mei got out of the car and walked towards the main gate. Standing in front of the camera, she said, "Open the gate, or no one will be spared."
A muffled voice came from the intercom: "You police dare to trespass into our Da Long Gang Protector's villa. Haven't you learned your lesson?"
Xiaoming shook the cleaver in his hand and said, "Police business. Open the gate quickly, or I'll chop you all to death."
Zhou Xia was amused by Xiaoming's words. She thought, this wasn't police business at all, it was more like bandits showing up.
A humming sound was heard, and the manor gate slowly opened. Xiaoming and Ye Mei entered the manor and disappeared into the darkness.
Half an hour later, Xiaoming and Ye Mei reappeared. Zhou Xia hadn't heard any fighting sounds from inside the manor, nor had she seen anyone else emerge.
"We're done. Send people to clean up, and let's go to the next location," Xiaoming said as he got into the car.
The four Protectors of the Da Long Gang each had their own manor. Every time, Xiaoming and Ye Mei would handle the action, while Long Xiao would remain seated in the car, not moving.
After Xiaoming and they eliminated the four Protectors of the Da Long Gang, the police used almost all their manpower to clean up the aftermath for the two of them.
Police cars sirens wailed continuously as bodies were carted away, and the names of Da Long Gang members were crossed off the list.
By dawn, Xiaoming drove the car to the outside of the Da Long Gang headquarters.
It was a massive manor, surrounded by electrified fences and heavily guarded. Armed guards patrolled inside, and armed guards stood at the entrance.
"Brother Long, should we break in directly, or strike from the shadows?" Xiaoming asked after parking the car about a hundred meters away from the manor.
"Let's go in and talk to them. If they are willing to surrender, we can arrest them without killing," Long Xiao said.
"Brother Long, the members of the Da Long Gang are ruthless bandits; they won't surrender," Zhou Xia said.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "I know that too. However, if they are willing to let us in to talk, it will be more convenient to act."
Long Xiao, Xiaoming, and Ye Mei approached the entrance of the Da Long Gang headquarters. Standing under the camera, Long Xiao shouted, "We are from the Serious Crimes Unit of Port City Police. We want to see your Gang Leader Huang and have a talk."
The Da Long Gang members had just committed robbery and murder yesterday. Today, they didn't expect the police to send people directly to their headquarters.
Huang Zaiyu, the gang leader of the Da Long Gang, was in his forties, with a full beard and shifty, darting eyes.
"Gang Leader, there are only three police officers. I think we should just send people to kill them," said the First Elder, Mu Tianlong.
Huang Zaiyu shook his head and said, "No. Since they dare to come, they must have some backing. Let them in and find out the situation before making a decision."
The Second Elder nodded and said, "The Gang Leader is right. They must have some backing. Otherwise, three police officers coming to our headquarters would be suicide. We know this, and they know it too."
While arranging for people to bring Long Xiao and the others in, Huang Zaiyu gathered all the Da Long Gang experts at the headquarters. He found this matter strange. Logically, three police officers wouldn't have the courage to come here.
Long Xiao and the others followed the guide into a large hall, which the Da Long Gang used specifically for holding meetings for its members.
Huang Zaiyu sat in the center of the hall, with over thirty Da Long Gang members armed with cold weapons standing behind him.
"You three are not ordinary police officers, are you? What advice do you have for us at the Da Long Gang?" Huang Zaiyu asked unhurriedly.
Long Xiao looked around and pointed out, "You Da Long Gang members are very rude. You haven't even prepared any chairs."
The First Elder, Mu Tianlong, said coldly, "Our Da Long Gang and the police are irreconcilable enemies. The fact that we haven't killed you outright and let you in is already a great kindness."
"Whether you are irreconcilable with the police has nothing to do with us. We are not police officers; we are just borrowing their clothes for convenience of entry," Long Xiao said.
Huang Zaiyu nodded and said, "You're honest enough. I knew long ago that you weren't police officers. Speak, who are you and what business do you have with the Da Long Gang?"
"Huo Zhen is my friend."
"You are from the Huo family? Hahaha, the Huo family dares to send people to intrude upon our Da Long Gang. Aren't you afraid I'll wipe out the Huo family?" Huang Zaiyu said arrogantly, looking at Long Xiao.
Long Xiao said coldly, "Do you think you can wipe out the Huo family? Dream on. After today, there will be no Da Long Gang in Port City."
"Arrogant! I've seen arrogance before, but never this arrogant. On what grounds?"
Long Xiao suddenly used the 'Chi Mei Xiao Yao Bu' technique. His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before Huang Zaiyu, delivering an open-handed slap.
Huang Zaiyu's strength was not high, and he couldn't dodge Long Xiao's slap.
With a crisp sound, Long Xiao returned to his original position.
Long Xiao didn't use his full force. Huang Zaiyu only had a bleeding lip and lost a few teeth.
