“I really didn’t mean anything by it, it’s not targeting you personally, Captain Li.” Liu Xuesong shook his head and said, “You don’t need to get angry with me here. You can’t take this guy away. If I were you, I would take advantage of this guy being here and interrogate him as soon as possible.”
"You wait, I'll contact my superior right now." Li Wei really wanted to curse. If they weren't on Liu Xuesong's turf, he would have wanted to just grab the person directly.
Jin Xiang was crucial to them, as he possessed information on drug traffickers in many parts of the country.
The news of his arrest hasn't spread yet, so we can take advantage of this time to bring him back to Beijing and extract some useful information from him to distribute to various places for anti-drug operations. We can catch a lot of big fish.
This would enable a nationwide, large-scale anti-drug operation, which could restore the confidence of anti-drug officers.
But at this critical juncture, why is Liu Xuesong holding people captive? What does that mean?
The guy was furious. He made several phone calls, lit a cigarette, and paced back and forth in the room, looking rather agitated.
"Captain Liu, don't be in such a hurry." Wang Jin smiled and stepped forward to offer him a cigarette.
"Not in a hurry? How can I not be in a hurry? More than a dozen of my colleagues have died because of this case. Now that we've finally brought this person to justice, I can't take him with me. Wouldn't all those colleagues who sacrificed their lives have died in vain?" Li Wei roared.
“He certainly didn’t die in vain. Since Jin Xiang was left here, it means he has a greater purpose here,” Wang Jin said leisurely.
“What could be more effective than extracting more information from him?” Li Wei stared coldly at Wang Jin. “Also, may I ask who you are?”
"Oh, I'm Wang Jin. Jin Xiang is someone I brought from Nanshi." Wang Jin smiled slightly.
"Did you bring Jin Xiang here? Which unit are you from?" Li Wei scrutinized Wang Jin.
“You don’t need to investigate my background since I’m not part of the police system. I’ve been hiding by Jin Xiang’s side for ten years. My mission is to eliminate Jin Luocheng.” Wang Jin lit a cigarette and ignited it with a snap.
As he puffed on his cigarette, he said, "In the past ten years, I have personally witnessed at least a hundred of my colleagues who infiltrated this place being brutally murdered."
"Capturing Jin Xiang won't change anything. The important thing is Jinluo City on the other side of the border. Only by taking down Jinluo City can we truly win."
"Don't give me that nonsense, I have to take this person with me." Li Wei gritted his teeth and said, "My escort team is ready and can return to Beijing at any time."
"Back to Beijing? How? Do you really think Jin Xiang is just an ordinary criminal? Are you planning to send a few colleagues to take him on the high-speed train or by plane to escort him back to Yanjing?" Just then, Ye Xingchen walked in.
"Ye Xingchen, you're here? Quick, only you can handle today's situation." Li Wei hurriedly pulled Ye Xingchen over: "You're familiar with Liu Xuesong, you talk to him."
"What did you say? I told you not to take him away." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Upon hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Li Wei was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.
He composed himself and said urgently, "What do you mean? We're taking Jinxiang with us."
"As I just said, how are you taking him away?" Ye Xingchen asked. "The usual escort method, or are you sending a special team to take him back?"
“If conventional methods don’t work, then we’ll select elites from the Yanjing Special Zone Brigade to form a special escort team to take him back,” Li Wei said.
"That's one way, but do you know what? At least five mercenary groups from different countries and regions have secretly crossed the border. Three of them have already engaged in gun battles with our Prison Mountain base patrols, and both sides have suffered losses."
Ye Xingchen stared at Li Wei and said, "The border guards of Prison Mountain often have gun battles with drug traffickers from abroad, so they are battle-hardened warriors. But even so, they can't keep the mercenaries sent by the other side. How strong do you think these mercenaries are?"
"What...what does this have to do with Jin Xiang? Could it be that these mercenaries entered the country specifically to target Jin Xiang?" Li Wei was taken aback.
"Otherwise what?" Ye Xingchen said calmly, "Who do you think Jin Xiang is? Even if he were a major international drug trafficker, his overseas forces would launch a fierce counterattack when he was arrested. What's more, Jin Xiang is the young city lord of Jinluo City."
"No matter which method you use to escort him back to Beijing, you will encounter fierce attacks along the way. Aren't you worried at all about your colleague's life?"
"Do they have no respect for the law?" Li Wei was furious.
"The law? Talk about the law with these people? Are you alright, Captain Li?" Liu Xuesong was speechless. "Don't you know what kind of place Jinluo City is? Gao Feng has tried to place his forces there countless times over the years but has failed. Do you really think these people have any respect for the law?"
“That’s right, Captain Li. The reason we didn’t let you take Jin Xiang away was for your safety. Let’s hurry up and interrogate him. Don’t waste time. It’s no use talking to anyone now,” Ye Xingchen said.
Li Wei was somewhat unwilling, but just then, his phone rang. It was a call from one of his superiors.
"Boss, how is it?" Li Wei asked with delight and a hint of anticipation.
"Li Wei, interrogate Jin Xiang overnight and try to get as many useful clues as possible out of him."
The other person's words made Li Wei's heart sink. He hurriedly said, "Is it really impossible for the leader to take it back?"
"I'm not letting you bring him back for your safety. Don't ask any more questions, just go." The other person said calmly, and then hung up the phone.
Helpless, Li Wei had no choice but to put away his phone, then turned to his subordinates and waved, "Go ahead with the interrogation, try to finish it quickly."
"Yes, Captain." Seeing Li Wei's words, the others had no choice but to nod and enter the prison.
"Are you alright?" Liu Xuesong smiled slightly at Ye Xingchen.
"It's nothing," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "Thank you so much. I couldn't have managed all this on my own without your help."
“We’re all brothers, why be so polite?” Liu Xuesong said, “I’ll arrange a place for you to rest, I still have some things to take care of.”
"Is it a problem with those foreign mercenaries?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Yes, mercenaries from five different organizations, about sixty in total, have already crossed the border," Liu Xuesong said. "Their strength is very high, and their firepower is also very strong. They are currently near the border."
“The border stretches for thousands of miles, and the terrain of Prison Mountain is complex, with a primeval forest also present. The situation is rather complicated.” Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
