Chapter 673: The Story in the Story Dies

The night at sea is bumpy and the occasional shaking of the ship makes people who are seasick miserable.

Mingjia held his dislocated right hand in a hanging position and supported his younger sister Mingqi with his left hand, with two people sitting on one chair.

The two sisters almost fell to the ground several times because of the shaking of the boat.

On the only narrow bed in the room were two masked men lying with their eyes closed.

Due to the bad weather at sea, the return journey was stretched from one day and two nights to two days and two nights.

The injured sisters were always under guard. For safety reasons, they were searched repeatedly even though they were wearing thin clothes. However, nothing happened during those dozens of hours.

As they were approaching the transit island not far from the port city, 7x2k relaxed a little after being on high alert all the way.

Large cargo ships can only change ships at sea by placing two long wooden boards on the sides of the two ships, like a single-plank bridge.

"ah--"

Suddenly there was a scream, and Assistant Zeng was pushed down the stairs made of two long boards by Mingqi behind him, and fell directly into the sea with a "plop". At the same time, in his panic, he pulled Ade, who was walking in front of him, down with him.

The simple long ladder, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through, suddenly left a large space empty.

Mingjia, with a bandage on his right hand, lost the protection of Ade and Assistant Zeng in front of him. He leaped lightly and ran behind the important officer Arvin Chen with a few big strides. He pulled out the sharp knife hidden in the splint on his right hand and stabbed it directly into the side of his neck.

"Ah——" the scream rang out again.

The tip of the knife entered his throat, but there was only this one sound, and the important officer Arvin Chen never uttered a word again.

Mingjia was strangling him from behind, and he had no power to fight back.

Because the long plank staircase can only accommodate one person, except for Liang Hao who was walking in front of Arvin Chen and Zhao Sheng who was behind Mingqi, who could see the situation clearly, it was difficult for people standing in other positions to notice the abnormality at the first time.

Liang Hao pulled out his pistol and turned around to aim at Mingjia, but because the important officer Arvin Chen was standing in front of Mingjia as a human shield, he couldn't shoot at all.

Looking at the sharp knife inserted into the important official's neck, I knew that the situation was very dangerous.

That position is a one-shot kill.

In addition to screaming to divert attention at first, Mingqi also took advantage of her disabled legs and deliberately threw herself towards Zhao Sheng behind her to prevent him from shooting her sister Mingjia.

But it can temporarily block the back, but cannot block other directions.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

Mingjia was shot in the left arm by Ding Li on the clipper, aiming and shooting from a 60-degree angle.

If she hadn't been sticking to the important official Arvin Chen, there was a human wall behind her, the bullet would definitely have hit her in the head.

Mingqi heard the gunshot and hurriedly turned around to look at her sister, only to find that she had been shot in the arm.

Blood flowed down in streams.

Without a side blocker, Zhao Sheng pulled out the dagger from his waist in a flash and swung it out, stabbing directly into Mingjia's back.

But the murderer was determined to die. It was not enough to stab the victim in the throat, he used all his strength to cut the neck of the important officer Arvin Chen.

The three centimeter wound became five centimeters. Arvin Chen had difficulty breathing. His hands, which he had been able to raise just now, could only cover his neck weakly.

"Bang!"

Finally, another gunshot was heard, and a bullet pierced Mingjia's neck from behind.

She looked back, smiled at her sister Mingqi, and opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

She simply fell sideways into the sea, and the sharp knife she had been holding tightly was submerged along with it.

Without the sharp knife, Arvin Chen's injured carotid artery spurted out blood in a spurt.

Mingqi screamed like crazy, "No!"

She wanted to run into the sea, but the masked man grabbed her hands again. During her frantic struggle, she accidentally pulled off Zhao Sheng's mask. He broke her wrists with a cold face.

He turned around and prepared to shoot her to death.

But thinking about handing over to the officer for interrogation, he suppressed the violence in his heart.

Before Arvin Chen fell, Liang Hao quickly grabbed him, carried him down the ladder, and put him on the deck of the speedboat to prepare for quick rescue.

Zhao Sheng dragged the murderer's accomplice to the deck of the speedboat like a dead dog, and knocked her out with a backhand chop to stop her crazy screams.

When Ade dragged the dying Mingjia onto the boat, Assistant Zeng, who had already been terrified, didn't even dare to breathe when he looked at Arvin Chen on the deck.

The carotid artery was injured and blood spurted half a meter high. There was no way to save him.

Even though each of them has a simple medical equipment kit, it is actually of little use.

There is such a big cut on the neck. If you have seen pigs being slaughtered and bled in the countryside, you will know how fast the blood flows. Even if the blood can be covered from the outside to stop it, the blood flowing back into the trachea can suffocate a person to death.

Ding Li and the others knew that Arvin Chen would not survive, and they all looked unhappy, cursing him for being a fool and asking for death.

After Zhao Sheng put on the mask again, he walked to Mingjia's side, drew out his dagger, wiped the blood with the hem of her clothes, stood up and punched Assistant Zeng with his backhand.

He didn't give up any strength, and with a cry of "ouch", a broken front tooth came out of his mouth.

As time passed quietly, in less than ten minutes, the important officer lying on the deck was no longer breathing.

Mission failed.

It was already late at night when we returned to Hong Kong City.

The "Li" branch was in chaos. After hearing the whole story, Ding Qiming didn't bother to punish the gang members. He just paced back and forth thinking of a solution.

"Keep an eye on that woman. No matter what method you use, you must make her reveal the person behind this within 24 hours."

"Pack up the assistant as well, leaving only a little room for him to be handed over to the boss the day after tomorrow."

Ding Qiming sat back in the armchair, his sharp eyes piercing at one of them. He took a sip of herbal tea, his tone lacking emotion, "Ah Sheng, go back and rest first.

According to gang rules, after you hand over the person the day after tomorrow, go and deal with the woman who saw your face yourself."

"Yes." Zhao Sheng secretly glanced at his godfather, responded in a muffled voice, and turned to leave.

As for what the branch discussed later, he had no idea.

But twitching eyelids are a bad omen.

After the hall door was closed, Ding Qiming reprimanded everyone again, and finally said with a sullen face, "All of you leave, and Ah Li stay."

Ding Li sat on the armchair on the other side, picked up the teapot on the table, tilted his head back and took a big sip. Judging from his father's expression, this matter might be difficult.

"Dad, what is the identity of that important official?"

Ding Qiming took some cakes out of the box and pushed them in front of his son. "He is the new Director of the Security Bureau."

Ding Li's heart skipped a beat. To be able to reach that position at the age of thirty-something, it was obvious that there must be someone powerful behind him.

"Li Zai, this time you and that guy are leading the team together. If something goes wrong, and the boss is not willing to give in and wants to vent his anger, hand him over."

Ding Li swallowed the almond cookie in his mouth and said, "Gangs have never handed over members before. Don't they always find death row prisoners from prison to replace them?"

"Dad can only protect you. If he shows up, no one else can take his place."

Ding Qiming was worried that something might happen to his son in the future, so he scolded him with a stern face, "You've learned a lesson this time. Being kind to others means being cruel to yourself. Don't be so slow and indecisive next time.

Don't get involved in things that you shouldn't be involved in. All the gang rules are written in vain. How can you lead things in the future if you are so soft-hearted and can't handle things on your own?"

"You still want to leave the gang and do your own thing? You're still far from ready!"

At this point, Ding Qiming asked about his son's relationship again, "How are you getting along with your Miss Lin? Doesn't she like you yet?"

"It should be soon."

Ding Li frowned, slapped away the biscuit crumbs in his hand and stopped eating.

He felt that his father's words were a bit harsh, but he couldn't open his mouth to say that Lin Yiyi liked him because she had not agreed to marry him yet.

Ding Qiming shook his head and sighed, blaming his beloved wife for teaching their son to be too polite and lack wildness.

"You really should control your nagging personality sometimes. People are at home, so you should take action when necessary. If you hesitate, you might run away."

"Women don't like men who act like sissies."

Ding Li sighed, not very happy to hear this, "Dad, I want to eat the fried egg noodles you cooked."

Father Ding, who can cook, can no longer speak sissy words.

......

Ten days ago, Lin Yiyi put on the ring and was about to tell Ding Li her answer, but he went out the day before saying he had something to do.

He has been so busy that he hasn't been seen since.

Unable to get any news from him, Lin Yiyi could only go to a warehouse in the suburbs of the opposite peninsula to find Ding Yan and ask him about the situation indirectly.

Ding Yan certainly couldn't tell her about the gang, so he just said he didn't know, then turned around and said with a teasing look, "Hey, why are you concerned about him now? You couldn't get it out of the big iron basin, so you tried to get it out of the pot?"

"..." What the hell is this pot and pot?

She also fishes in rivers, lakes and seas.

Lin Yiyi felt that her fickle image had become ingrained in people's minds. "Since you don't know, I'll go back."

"Wait, didn't you say you would treat me to a meal after you got my salary? It's been more than a year since I got paid, so it's time to treat me, right?"
