The test results for the drought-resistant grass were released ahead of schedule. At that moment, Zhang Guodong was unaware that he had called Ye Yun online. His son was already in the ward, and the doctor was trying to bring down his fever.
Then he waited for the traffic police to arrive. There were cameras along the highway, and everything that had just happened would certainly have been recorded; leaving would be detrimental to him.
However, he suddenly stopped in front of the ancestral vehicle.
"What's in those two wooden crates?" Zhang Guodong suddenly spotted two rather large wooden crates within his senses. They were on the two vans! One in each. The style of the crates reminded him of ammunition crates seen in movies.
This speculation left Zhang Guodong dumbfounded. He couldn't understand it at all. If it really was weapons, how could it be here? Was everything that person said just now a lie?
But that's not right!
"How did these people know that Boss Long and I have a grudge? If it wasn't Boss Long himself or his assistant who told them, how would anyone else know? Besides, how could the missing weapons be related to me? These are completely unrelated matters!"
Zhang Guodong couldn't understand this at all.
As the sirens grew closer, and it seemed quite a few cars were arriving, Zhang Guodong had a sudden inspiration. Without anyone noticing, he moved the two wooden crates into the Peach Blossom Spring space. Two crates disappeared from the two cars out of thin air, yet nothing could be detected from the outside.
But the weight of those two boxes couldn't be moved all at once, and Zhang Guodong's face turned pale. So heavy! Moving them over a distance of tens of meters, weighing nearly two tons, was an enormous drain on his mental energy. Even though Zhang Guodong's mental energy was much greater now, it still nearly made his legs give way.
Is it really weapons?
"Damn it, we shouldn't do things like this too often!"
"Are you alright?" Zhang Guodong forced himself to walk to the back of the taxi despite his exhaustion. The driver, however, was now sitting quietly, thankfully not as frightened as before.
"Oh, what's wrong?" The driver jumped up immediately when he saw Zhang Guodong's pale face and quickly helped him up.
"It's nothing. I was just slightly injured. Fortunately, I wounded four of those thugs. The other four were shot out of nowhere. There's probably one still alive," Zhang Guodong said.
"These bastards, shooting someone in broad daylight! Good riddance!" the driver exclaimed angrily. He felt that the death was a cause for celebration.
The traffic police car arrived quickly.
"Stop! Don't move!" But as soon as the traffic police got out of the car, they pointed their guns at Zhang Guodong and the driver.
Good heavens. There were about twenty people gathered around, including traffic police and criminal investigators. When did both families start patrolling the road together?
"Officers, you've got the wrong person, we're the victims!" The driver, seeing that it was the police, wasn't afraid this time and shouted. However, he was still quite frightened by so many guns pointed at him.
When one of them heard the driver call himself a victim, he immediately went to ask his superior for instructions. Don't make a scene. Treating the victim as if they were a criminal is a huge joke.
"Director Lei, those two people claim to be victims, and one of them is a taxi driver." It turns out that these traffic police and criminal police officers were not on patrol, but on a mission. In the high-class police car behind them was none other than Lei Xiangdong, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department!
It's said that during the recent large-scale firefight in Yangling, Lei Xiangdong and Director Pan of the Municipal Public Security Bureau came here together, and the rumors are true. However, Director Pan's car was nowhere to be seen.
Yang Xiong, the captain of the joint enforcement team, recounted the situation with a somewhat perplexed expression. Eight criminals had scattered nails and oil on the highway, clearly a premeditated crime. The steel pipes found at the scene belonged to those eight, as did the handguns. It seemed that Zhang Guodong and the driver were indeed victims.
However, the problem is that the two unarmed men were unharmed, while the other eight died a gruesome death. Not a single one survived!
"What about the eyewitnesses? What did they say?" Lei Xiangdong's stern face showed that he was now angry. These bandits were so arrogant, attacking people in broad daylight. But the fact that all eight criminals were dead made him calm down immediately.
Who is this person? How could they possibly take down eight armed men with their bare hands? This is truly astonishing.
"The people at the scene gave basically the same account: those eight were besieging the taxi and then started shooting," Yang said bitterly.
Lei Xiangdong glared at his subordinate, opened the car door, and got out.
"Hesitant and stammering. Come on, take me to see the scene!"
"Director Lei, why don't you stay in the car? The scene hasn't been cleared yet, there might be danger!" Yang Xiong was startled and quickly followed to persuade him. If someone were to fire a shot, he would bear a heavy responsibility.
"What a joke! Have you ever seen a police officer conduct a case in his car? Everyone else dares to go out, but I can't? Don't you trust your own comrades?" Lei Xiangdong remained unmoved and strode forward.
As soon as Lei Xiangdong emerged, some of his men immediately set up a perimeter. Maintaining order at the scene was important, but protecting Lei Xiangdong was of paramount importance. The Yang Ling case involved a firefight, with bullets flying everywhere. They had seen the scene; it was riddled with bullet holes. How much weaponry must have been involved? Drug trafficking was one thing, but where did these people get so much weaponry? They even had submachine guns! They had seized twenty submachine guns, dozens of pistols, and tens of thousands of bullets!
This is already a shocking case!
And sure enough, today I encountered another shooting incident.
Zhang Guodong overheard the police taking statements from witnesses. Nothing seemed to be detrimental to him. Their general impression was of his skill… but they hadn't seen the specifics clearly. He possessed an extraordinary intuition. This relieved Zhang Guodong.
"What are we going to do now? We've gotten ourselves involved in this mess." The driver looked around and saw heavily armed officers, and immediately felt worried. Although they were the victims, the gun barrels could still be pointed at them at any time, and it was clear that the police wouldn't believe their story outright.
"Just tell the truth. I'll give you another thousand after this is all over!" Zhang Guodong said. It was really wrong to drag innocent people into this.
As he spoke, Zhang Guodong took out his phone and called Ye Yun. He wondered if his son's condition had improved.
"Give me your phone!" But one of the policemen stared intently at Zhang Guodong, and as soon as Zhang Guodong took out his phone, he immediately raised his gun and extended a hand.
"Are you kidding me? We're the victims, the victims, do you understand?" Zhang Guodong laughed angrily. He ignored the other party and continued making a phone call. "Can't we even make a phone call?"
The other person became embarrassed and angry, and grabbed at it.
"Just hand it over when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense!"
Zhang Guodong naturally wouldn't allow it. He was anxious about his son and was determined to make the call. He had already wasted some time earlier, and now it looked like he was going to be delayed again.
In his eyes, no one's life could compare to that of his son and his family.
dimension!
Zhang Guodong pushed the other man's arm away and said, "That's enough! I'm not a criminal. I have urgent business to attend to. If you delay me, hmph!"
“We haven’t confirmed that you are a suspect yet. Stop immediately, or I’ll shoot!” Zhang Guodong angered the other party, who immediately raised his gun and issued a stern warning.
"You're saying I'm a suspect? Say it again!" Zhang Guodong got angry, put down his phone, and sneered.
"Tiger, stop!" A furious shout came from the other side; it was Captain Yang Xiong. Beside him stood a middle-aged man in a high-ranking police uniform—it was Lei Xiangdong.
Damn it. What is this bastard doing here, pointing a gun at the victim? Yang Xiong cursed inwardly. He couldn't let him go on missions again; he might cause trouble for him sometime.
Looking at Zhang Guodong again, Yang Xiong's gaze turned strange. This face connected to his previous superhuman skills. However, the eight corpses in front of the car spoke volumes; this man was dangerous. He hadn't been injured by eight gunshots at long range; at such close range, if the man had retaliated, he'd probably be finished!
"Captain, the suspect was about to make a phone call. I stopped him!" Tiger said dismissively. "What if he's a criminal? The responsibility wouldn't fall on me; I was just following the rules!"
He's just a temporary team leader, damn it, does he really think he's the captain? This team, composed of traffic police and criminal investigators investigating the "Yangling case," is all temporary. They'll be disbanded once the case is solved.
"Slap." Zhang Guodong slapped him across the face, causing the gun to fall. "I warned you, I'm in a bad mood right now. You keep calling me a suspect, what are you going to do if I don't teach you a lesson?"
The slap came so fast that no one could react in time. The tiger covered its face and took a few steps back, then roared and tried to charge.
"Stop!" This time it was Lei Xiangdong's voice.
Zhang Guodong was already preparing to kick him. Upon seeing this, Tiger hesitated, and when Lei Xiangdong shouted, his face flushed red. But he had no choice but to stop, glaring at Zhang Guodong with some resentment.
"What the hell!" Zhang Guodong cursed.
"What's wrong with you? How dare you assault a police officer?" Yang Xiong's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. Although he disliked Tiger and never took him seriously because his father was a leader, Zhang Guodong's violent attack still made him furious.
"What's going on? You should ask your men! My wife and son went to the hospital, and they were shot. What's wrong with your security? I was just about to make a phone call, and he kept calling me a suspect! I think he's just undisciplined! How can someone like that be a policeman?" Zhang Guodong said coldly.
"I need to take this call!" Just then, the fat man's phone rang. The ringing of the phone made everyone jump to their feet.
"Guodong, the test results are out. The ingredients of Star Grass are very precious. If we can plant it on a large scale, then we can achieve half of the goal. We can promote it later. In addition, the bosses of those pharmaceutical factories are preparing to come to our place to investigate the investment environment. Haha, isn't that good news?" the fat man said excitedly.
"Don't get too excited yet, I've run into some trouble, and I'm still on the highway!" Zhang Guodong said dejectedly. He naturally already knew this outcome; submitting a report was merely to make the villagers more convinced and save them from further criticism.
"Still not back? What's going on?" The fat man calmed down and bowed.
"Damn it, what bad luck. I don't know what happened, I got shot on the street. Luckily, I'm okay. Now a lot of police have arrived. We can't leave for a while, and I don't know how Ye Yun and her son are doing in the hospital!" Zhang Guodong said.
"Wait a minute, let me call someone again," the fat man said, and immediately hung up.
"Uncle Pan, this is Wang Kang. I'd like to ask you about something. A friend of mine was stopped by the police on Yangling Highway. I don't know what happened. Yes, I came to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences with that friend. He was shot on the way, but thankfully he's alright. However, he's been stopped by a large number of police officers." After hanging up with Zhang Guodong, the fat man immediately called Pan Youliang.
Pan Youliang was surprised to hear it was Wang Kang. He briefly inquired about the matter. After thinking for a moment, he called Lei Xiangdong, but his brows furrowed upon hearing the question.
