"Don't believe them! They're not police officers...Ah!"
Huang Rongjin wanted to encourage his men to come up and rescue him, but before he could finish his words he was punched in the stomach and the rest of his words were punched back into his stomach.
The people outside didn't know what was going on. They only heard the boss shouting. Several of his trusted subordinates became furious. Seeing that there were only four people on the other side, they wanted to rely on their numbers to rush into the room and rescue the boss.
Zhou Yaning did not shoot. She stepped back to make room for Lu Chengchuan to perform.
Several people were about to force their way in with sticks in hand, but Lu Chengchuan stepped to the door and blocked their way. They were determined to force their way in, raising their iron sticks high, as if to hit him.
But the next moment, there was a sound of explosion and their bodies flew backwards.
Lu Chengchuan retracted his palm, glanced at everyone in front of him, and said coldly: "If you don't want to be like them, then behave yourself."
The few people lying on the ground wailed from time to time. When the others saw this scene, they realized that although the other party was small in number, they were definitely not someone they could afford to offend.
With Lu Chengchuan in front to deter them, they easily took the person away.
Back in the car, Huang Rongjin had his hands handcuffed and a black hood on his head. He was taken back to the Investigation Bureau office building for interrogation like a prisoner.
"Whatever you want to do, the police can't just arrest anyone!"
Sitting on the chair in the interrogation room, Huang Rongjin still looked wronged, but soon he stopped saying that he was wronged.
Huang Rongjin was stunned. Why did the police just attack him directly without the usual verbal persuasion? How could the police do this? Are the procedures and regulations just for show?
Huang Rongjin was not given the chance to think too much, and he said whatever he wanted under torture.
"This guy has been doing business with Lin Yue, Xiang Luo and several other countries for several years. More than half a month ago, he said that several mysterious people found him and wanted to discuss business with him.
They gave Huang Rongjin a few stones, which were described as divine blood stones, and he continued to serve them.
"He tricked many people into going abroad under the guise of working and earning money. Those who were deceived were taken away by the cult. It's unclear what they were doing there, but it was definitely not a good thing."
"It's now confirmed that the cult's headquarters is in a no-man's land at the junction of these countries, but the exact location is still unclear. These places are too chaotic, with drug dealers, warlords, smugglers and everything in between."
"Huang Rongjin's superior is a smuggler nicknamed Scarhand. He has over a hundred men under him. He runs smuggling operations in Linyue and Shenghua, and occasionally provides personnel routing services."
In less than an hour, they pried out a lot of information from Huang Rongjin.
This thing is a chain of events. Huang Rongjin is just a lackey who does the work. The real cultists are hiding in the shadows, using the divine blood stone to get others to do things for them.
However, the cult’s headquarters is not within Shenghua’s borders, but in a lawless area abroad, making this matter difficult to handle.
"Outside the country, how can this be resolved?"
Lu Chengchuan had never left Shenghua Country and only learned about the situation in the outside world through news and the Internet, but he knew that these countries were not safe places.
How could they deal with the cultists hiding there? Should they send the army out? That was unlikely.
"I will report the situation to the director first, and I'll wait for the leadership to make the final arrangements."
Zhou Yaning took the confession and left. They couldn't decide whether to leave or not, so they had to wait for the leaders to give the order.
Soon, Zhou Yaning found Zhang Chengyan and reported the current situation to him. After hearing this, Zhang Chengyan was troubled to learn that the cult's headquarters was outside the country.
"If they were inside the country, we could mobilize a lot of forces to encircle and suppress them, but abroad... ever since the monsters appeared, the international situation hasn't changed, it's become even more tense.
We can't use a large force, but if we use a small force, are you confident?"
"We'll be safe if we take Lu Chengchuan with us. He's very powerful and should be able to deal with those warlords." Zhou Yaning thought of Lu Chengchuan.
He became stronger and stronger, completely leaving them behind. The warlords in the lawless area only had guns, but not many heavy weapons. Lu Chengchuan should be able to deal with those guys.
They had conducted infiltration operations before, but they were not as chaotic as they are now.
"Lu Chengchuan...then give it a try. I'll make arrangements for you. Be careful when you get out."
Zhang Chengyan thought about it for a few minutes and decided to give it a try. The cultists had caused such a big incident in Anyang City. If they didn't fight back, other countries would think they were good-for-nothings.
"Just a few of you, is that enough?"
Zhou Yaning's team just lost two people, and now with Lu Chengchuan, there are only five people left. To go to a place like that, aren't five people too few?
"That's enough. Lu Chengchuan alone is enough. Too many people on this kind of mission will expose us."
She believed in Lu Chengchuan, especially in his strength.
"Okay, go get ready. Bring your things with you. In case of an emergency, our people will be there to help."
Zhou Yaning returned to the office and told everyone the director's order.
When they learned that they had to sneak into the no-man's land outside the country, everyone had different expressions. Qian Xiaoling and the others looked very solemn, while Lu Chengchuan was curious.
He only knew that it was dangerous there, but he had no idea what the danger was. He would never have gone to such a place before, but now he had the ability to protect himself, so it didn't hurt to go and take a look.
"Go get ready, and be careful when you get there."
When the order for the infiltration operation was given, Qian Xiaoling and others stood up to make preparations, but Lu Chengchuan sat still.
After the subordinate left, Zhou Yaning came up and asked: "Have you been to that place?"
"I've only been to the neighboring Huguang Province all my life. Besides, I definitely wouldn't have dared to go to the places you mentioned before. I still want to live a good life."
Lu Chengchuan answered truthfully.
He stayed in the hospital for several years, and even went to Huguang Province to see a doctor. There were no good doctors in Lin Yue's place, so he naturally never went there.
"That place is a mess, full of people who don't care about their lives for money. But you shouldn't be afraid. With your strength, you will be the boss there."
Half an hour later, the people who had gone to prepare returned, and Zhou Yaning continued, "This mission will start with the smuggler. Headquarters will provide us with intelligence, and we must capture him and continue pursuing the cultists."
After everything was ready, Zhou Yaning called his leader to report. After receiving a reply, they set off immediately.
Soon, a car set off to the southwest, and after about an hour, the car arrived in the suburbs.
"In about five hours, we will reach the border of Shenghua Country, and then we will have to walk."
In the car, Zhou Yaning told Lu Chengchuan how long it would take them to reach the border.
It wasn't far, actually. The distance from Yanghua City to the border was much closer than to Huguang Province. They could enter Linyue Country before nightfall. They were trying to sneak in, and they couldn't be spotted, so they had to walk through a primeval forest and out into a no-man's land. By then, no one would care whether they were sneaking in or not.
