Chapter 166 Are you comparing your face?

Like a sudden storm, yet it happened without a sound.

There were no police lights, no sirens.

The bulldozer was turned off, the excavator's bucket was lowered, and the dump truck's key was removed.

The once deafening construction site gradually quieted down, the flying dust slowly settled, and the sky became a bit bluer.

Yu Kejie had his feet propped up on the table, holding a copy of "Dragon Tiger Leopard," and occasionally pinching his secretary's stockinged leg.

The woman's eyes were delicate, and she chuckled softly.

Just as they were getting intimate, there was a knock, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in.

The secretary shivered from the cold. Yu Kejie frowned, about to scold him, when the vice president, wearing a hard hat, pointed outside:

"Manager Yu, the commander-in-chief has sent someone to say that a team nearby accidentally cut a fiber optic cable, and all work in this area must be stopped..."

Yu Kejie paused for a moment and glanced outside.

A man in his early forties stood outside the office door. He looked somewhat familiar and was definitely a staff member of the headquarters.

He stood up and went out to greet him: "Director, come in and have a cup of tea!"

"No, I just came to let you know, I still have to go to the next area!"

The man said something, then turned and got into the pickup truck.

Yu Kejie didn't mind and instructed the vice president, "Then stop work... um, remember to inform the staff below to stop for a day!"

If things stop at the top, the commotion below can't be contained, so naturally it will also stop...

After giving a few instructions, Yu Kejie waved his hand, signaling the vice president to close the door.

Just as I sat down on the sofa, my secretary, holding her phone, exclaimed, "Mr. Yu, they cut the mobile fiber optic cable, but why is my China Unicom signal gone?"

Yu Kejie paused for a moment, then turned his head to look: the secretary's phone indeed had no signal.

I checked my phone again, but there was no signal.

Did they dig up the cables for both China Mobile and China Unicom at the same time?

That's unlikely. I've never heard of these two companies burying their fiber optic cables together.

He paused, then picked up the landline phone again. But there was no signal, not even a light, and not a sound.

The telecommunications fiber optic cable was also cut?

Something's wrong, something's very wrong...

With a start, Yu Kejie stood up and rushed out of the prefabricated steel building.

It was very quiet all around; the noise of machinery was barely audible. About two or three hundred meters away, at another construction site, workers were lined up, seemingly heading out.

Is this... being cleared out?

No... it's just a fiber optic cable that was cut. We can just send an engineering team to check it. Why clear the site?

A sense of foreboding crept over him, and Yu Kejie turned around, opened a drawer, picked up a telescope, went outside, and jumped onto the roof of the bulldozer.

Then I raised the binoculars, but after just one glance, my heart started pounding.

A police car, a dump truck... then another police car, then another dump truck...

Every road that allows cars to exit is completely blocked.

Looking back at the construction site: the workers were still queuing, but moving very slowly. Further ahead, at the intersection, there were more than a dozen minibuses and Iveco vans parked.

A dozen or so armed police officers stood guard on both sides, leaving only a narrow passageway wide enough for one person to pass through. Each person was searched as they passed, and then put into the vehicle…

Yu Kejie felt not just his heart pounding, but his scalp tingling: Was it coming for him?

Just as they were filled with doubt and suspicion, the vice president pointed south and said, "President Yu, there's a big hole over there. Is that where the cable broke?"

Yu Kejie suddenly turned the binoculars around.

Not far, to the southwest, about a kilometer away.

There were many cars, many people, and two excavators, and it seemed like they were also evacuating.

Further down, behind the excavator, was a huge pit, in the middle of which was a vaulted, blue-brick tomb roof exposed...

Further south, there's yet another one?

Yu Kejie's vision went black.

If he were simply surrounded by police, he might suspect that something major had happened in the area, such as a mass murder.

It's not surprising that armed police were deployed to set up checkpoints and conduct thorough investigations: in case a murderer was disguised as a worker, they would naturally have to verify each one individually.

What if we add the two ancient tombs that suddenly and inexplicably appeared?

And all the exits were sealed off, all communication signals were cut off... These police officers, aren't they here for this place, for the tomb underground?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Even if it's impossible, and they didn't come here specifically for this purpose, I'm not going to escape today.

Because he's been put on a wanted list, he can't get away with it even if he tries...

Yu Kejie stared at his phone, which had no signal, his face pale and his lips trembling uncontrollably.

It's over. I can't even send a message to my second uncle...

He shouted sharply, "Shuanzi!"

With a "thump," eight or nine burly men poured out of the nearby prefabricated steel building.

"We've been set on fire, surrounded by mines... Hu Liu, go tell Xia Ku to get out of the pit quickly..."

"Da Gang, get the brothers ready with the vehicles... Don't drive the cars or dump trucks, just drive through the fields. If you can't get out, you'll crash... Go south, go north or south... If you can get one out, that's one more chance..."

"Shuttle, fire the gun, fire the cannon (explosives)..."

The eight or nine desperados all turned pale.

No matter how ruthless or cold-hearted someone is, who isn't afraid of death?

"What are you waiting for? Rather than getting shot at, you might as well take a gamble..."

Yu Kejie jumped out of the car, rushed into the office, and grabbed a bag.

He threw it on the ground with a "thud," revealing bright red bills: "Ten thousand per person, take it!"

The seven or eight people looked at each other in bewilderment until the towering man pulled out two bags, at which point they seemed to snap out of their daze.

Those with guns took their guns, those with money took their money, those with explosives took their explosives... and finally, they all rushed towards the dump truck on the side of the road like a swarm of bees.

Only Yu Kejie and his four bodyguards remained in front of the door.

Yu Kejie clipped his pistol, then threw over a bag of explosives and a long gun:

"Big Bolt, Little Bolt, you two drive the dump truck, one of you drive, the other fires... Go ahead and ram it. Once we're out of there, get in the smaller car... Gangzi, drive the SUV, Erchui, connect the fuse, blow up anyone who tries to stop us..."

Several ruthless bandits gritted their teeth and nodded vigorously...

...

On Huangzipo, Chen Peng adjusted his peaked cap.

I must say, Lin Sicheng chose a really good spot. It faces the Big Wild Goose Pagoda directly, and has an unobstructed view of the construction site to the north.

As I was looking out, four or five dump trucks drove out from a construction site to the northeast.

Chen Peng was suddenly taken aback.

The moment Chief Engineer Wang witnessed the discovery of the Princess Consort's silver register, he backed down. He has already sent word to halt all construction work at the South Lane King, North Lane King, and all construction sites within a ten-kilometer radius.

What's going on with this dump truck that suddenly started moving?

Why aren't you all driving in one direction? It's like flowers are blooming everywhere!

While pondering, Chen Peng exclaimed, "Ha! When a dog is cornered, it'll try to jump over the wall!"

He gripped the walkie-talkie: "Attention all units, if a dog tries to break through the wall, it tries to break through the wall... Anyone who dares to break through the checkpoint will be shot dead... I repeat, shoot dead!"

The walkie-talkie suddenly fell silent, followed by a solemn reply:

"Received 05..."

"03 received..."

Before the report was finished, there were two "slap" sounds.

The team that was farther away, the one that was digging in front of the Prince's Tomb, had already opened fire.

With the sound, the car veered off course and veered off course into the wasteland. Looking in the rearview mirror, I saw the driver half-lying on the steering wheel, a large hole in his chest, blood seeping out continuously.

On the passenger side, there was a handgun and several bundles of explosives...

Just as I was looking closely, there was a loud "boom," and the earthen slope beneath my feet shook.

Suddenly turning the camera to the horizon, a cloud of dust billowed up in the northwest. Further ahead, a dump truck sped across the fields like a madman.

Explosives?

Chen Peng remained calm: I had expected this.

But he couldn't even get a hair out of the bag when he was hundreds of meters away from the checkpoint.

The criminal knew he couldn't blow up anything, but he wanted the police to know: I have explosives, you better get out of my way...

But it was all for naught. With a few loud crashes, the dump truck overturned into the ditch.

Through the binoculars, one of the bandits held a pistol, the other an explosive device, blood streaming from their chests…

Inside the China Construction headquarters, several leaders were also holding binoculars. Hearing the explosions and seeing the scene resembling a battle, Chief Engineer Wang's face turned pale.

It’s over…

Explosions continued to rang out, and the gunfire grew increasingly intense.

Chen Peng held up his binoculars and squinted: taking advantage of the chaos, a dump truck drove out of the construction site, followed by a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Has the big fish come out of its hole?

With something so conspicuous, why would he need to drive a small car?

Because dump trucks are only good for getting through toll booths; once they're on main roads, they can't even outrun a Santana...

Suddenly, a long gun emerged from the dump truck.

August 1st Bar?

Chen Peng's face turned cold: "Pi Xingchang, did I give you a fire poker?"

The words had barely left his mouth when, *smack!*

After a slight pause, there was another "smack!"

Four shots were fired, and the dump truck slowly came to a stop. Looking through binoculars again, the two halves of their bodies inside were gone…

Suddenly, the G-Wagon behind us shot out like a madman. It accelerated and accelerated...

Two more shots rang out, and the SUV suddenly tilted to one side, flipping over completely. But the momentum was immense, and it flipped again, miraculously righting itself...

Chen Peng gripped the walkie-talkie again: "Pi Xingchang, Pi Xingchang, send a squad to check. The other side has guns and explosives. Don't be careless..."

"receive!"

After he replied, special police officers at each checkpoint were mobilized, fully armed and completely covered from head to toe.

Nine people in a team, three people in a group, all with their arms around each other's shoulders: the first person carries a shield, the middle person carries a pistol, and the last person carries a spear...

Inside the off-road vehicle behind the checkpoint, Tian Jie stared in disbelief.

Two days ago, when Lin Sicheng was leading a group of police officers to search for graves, he invited Wang Qizhi and Lin Sicheng to dinner.

Halfway through the meal, when the case came up, Lin Sicheng said: "The difficulty now is how to find the grave. Once we find it, we don't need to worry about how to catch the culprit."

At that time, Lin Sicheng even made a gesture: "Completely destroy, utterly annihilated..."

Looking back now, wasn't it utterly devastating? There wasn't even the slightest chance of resistance...

It was indeed very quick, taking less than ten minutes, and the construction site was quiet inside and out.

Yu Kejie was dragged out of the car, his face covered in blood.

Upon seeing Chen Peng, he spat out a "Pah!"

Blood mixed with saliva was spat onto Chen Peng's face, and Chen Peng's face darkened as he slowly wiped it away.

Yu Dahai's nephew?

How could someone who has committed murder, is on a wanted list, and has such strong connections, have been active in the key investigation area for so long, yet the local authorities haven't been able to find them?

I'll fuck your mother...

Immediately afterwards, the special police brought over a small leather bag and pulled out a passport from inside.

Jack Yu, Yu Kejie… Chen Peng’s face grew darker and darker…

Lin Sicheng said more than once: Director Chen, the excavators may have disguised themselves as a demolition team, demolishing houses and grounds during the day and digging tunnels at night.

Or perhaps they can do both at the same time, dismantling the structures above and digging up the structures below...

Therefore, at every meeting, Chen Peng would emphasize: secretly investigate all demolition sites in Weiqu Town, with a focus on investigating outsiders.

The result was even worse; not only were they foreigners, but they also had American passports and were even Jack...

That face in front of me, he's got more than one life on his hands, and he's been on my wanted list for two whole years... Jack, I fucking bastard.

Chen Peng grew angrier the more he thought about it, feeling as if his chest was about to explode.

If it weren't for Lin Sicheng's efforts, even if Chen Peng had twenty years, he still wouldn't have been able to find out the truth, let alone in two months...

Just as he was about to explode with rage, Yu Kejie grinned, revealing his bloodied teeth, and chuckled, "Hey, you surnamed Chen, I'm an American now..."

"Hahaha..." Chen Peng laughed in anger, gritted his teeth, and slapped her across the face.

Then, he grabbed Yu Kejie by the hair and slammed him against the wheel hub.

"An American? Okay, do you even know where you are? Knock knock..."

"Come on, I'll tell you... This is fucking China, China... thump thump..."

"Do you even know what you're digging up...? That's my ancestor... thud!"

"You dare not move, huh? I'll kill you... thud!"

After being bumped seven or eight times, and seeing that an accident was about to happen, a squad leader gritted his teeth and hugged Chen Peng: "Director Chen... Director Chen... calm down..."

How the hell am I supposed to stay calm?

Chen Peng gritted his teeth, trembling with anger.

After a long silence, his eyes reddened, he said, "Take him back. You have twenty-four hours to interrogate Yu Dahai about his whereabouts, his accomplices in China, the accounts used for financial transactions, and their communication methods and code words..."

The team leaders stood at attention in unison: "Yes, sir!"

Immediately, the walkie-talkie crackled to life again: "0101, the entrance to the hole has been found, but the rats are putting up a stubborn resistance and refusing to surrender... Should we launch a full-scale assault?"

Chen Peng's anger intensified, and he was so angry that his brain exploded.

Pi Xingchang, is your head covered in shit, or are there maggots in your eyes?

"Forceful attack my ass! With guns and explosives, don't our brothers' lives matter?"

He suppressed the urge to curse: "Pi Xingchang, come on, lift your head and open those two holes wide: what are those tankers at all those construction sites? Those are fucking water tankers..."

"If the rat doesn't come out, you won't drown? Don't even mention actually drowning, as long as I stick a hose in, if he doesn't surrender, I'll call you dad..."

A sheepish laugh came from the walkie-talkie, followed by a reply: "Received."

After turning off the walkie-talkie, Chen Peng walked angrily towards the car.

The detachment leaders exchanged glances and quietly followed behind.

Just as I reached the car, a Cheetah pulled up with a "whoosh".

Li Chunnan then jumped out of the car.

The captains immediately straightened up and gave a police salute in unison.

Li Chunnan returned the greeting, glanced at Yu Kejie who was being escorted onto the car, and his eyelids twitched twice.

Looking at the blood all over his head and Chen Peng's face, which was even blacker than the bottom of a pot, he immediately guessed about 70-80% of the truth.

My apprentice is good in every way, except he's too idealistic. And frankly, the team's development is much better than it was a few years ago...

He said "not bad," meaning he was acknowledging the strength of each team. Then he patted Chen Peng on the shoulder and sighed.

"Work hard, and when you get to my position, you can do whatever you want with the reforms..."

Chen Peng curled his lip: Give me a break... Doesn't the bureau chief have any superiors?

Then, the master and apprentice began to smoke.

"Forget about Yu Dahai, he's a cunning and treacherous old man..."

"Interrogate Yu Kejie to see if we can sever the funding channels and the chain of communication..."

After giving a few instructions, Li Chunnan suddenly remembered: "By the way, why didn't you give orders to that group at the farmhouse down the mountain!"

Chen Peng paused for a moment: "I'm afraid of alerting them and causing a disturbance here..."

That doesn't seem right.

The signal was cut off before the operation, so he couldn't make or receive calls. How could he be alarmed?

Li Chunnan's thoughts raced, and he looked up: "Where's Lin Sicheng? I haven't seen him."

Chen Peng's eyelids twitched: "I haven't seen him either, he should be with Director He!"

Bullshit, I came from over there.

Besides, I've been with you for so many years, I know exactly what kind of coward you've always been.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Chunnan's mind, and her eyes narrowed as she stared intently at him: "I didn't see Zhao Xiuneng either. Did he go to the farm with Lin Sicheng?"

"You deliberately didn't arrest anyone, right... You want to fish them out of the ocean?"

Chen Peng's eyes darted away for a moment, then he chuckled awkwardly, "Xiao Lin said to try dangling it out and see if we can coax it back..."

"Bullshit..."

With a roar, Li Chunnan swung his hand down.

Chen Peng lowered his head and dodged, "Master, it really wasn't me who instigated it, it was Xiao Lin who suggested it himself... He said he couldn't sleep peacefully until Yu Dahai was killed..."

"Am I asking who came up with the idea?"

Li Chunnan was even angrier, "You rely on that kid for everything... Chen Peng, are you shameless?"
