Chapter 51 Loyalty and Betrayal, Recording
Ma Bin!
The name flashed on the caller ID.
Li Shang's eyes changed and he took a deep breath. Perhaps the key to breaking the deadlock lies in Ma Bin. From his recent contact with him, he found that this second leader was a rare smart man in the gang.
If you have brains, you won't go crazy easily. You will be able to judge the situation and may be able to win over and control others.
The only problem is that I am a little bit blindly loyal to Boss Zheng.
In conclusion,
The current situation is critical, and I must find a way, whether by coercion or inducement, I must make Ma Bin betray the Green Wolf Gang and use him for my own purposes.
In this way, the chaotic situation can be quickly calmed down and the wife and son can be rescued.
"Don't panic. I absolutely cannot panic now. I must calm down and think about what to say."
Li Shang's mind was racing as he recalled all the experiences and techniques he had in interrogating the prisoners.
Five seconds later, Li Shang answered the phone. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said harshly, "The Green Wolf Gang is so bold. Ma Bin, go back and tell Boss Zheng that he made the wrong decision."
"I, Li Shang, can hold my position as the deputy captain of the police station because I don't care about my relatives and never accept threats from anyone."
"If my wife dies, I can get a lover. If my son dies, I can have another one. The Green Wolf Gang is making a wrong calculation by trying to threaten me with my wife and son."
"You can't threaten me, but I promise that everyone in the Green Wolf Gang will follow Boss Zheng..."
Ma Bin interrupted Li Shang's threat at the right time. His hoarse voice was full of fatigue: "Captain Li, you misunderstood. I am not threatening you on behalf of Boss Zheng."
Li Shang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a slightly rough nasal voice, "Hmm?"
He just lied. He could remarry after losing his wife, but he was really gone after losing his son. He had been shot before and was no longer able to have children.
Ma Bin said in a deep voice: "Boss Zheng has gone completely crazy. Although I feel sorry for Boss Zheng, I cannot watch my brothers in the gang being buried with Boss Zheng like a fool. I am the second leader of the Green Wolf Gang. I must save them and myself."
Li Shang's five fingers holding the phone turned pale. He coughed to cover up the slight tremor in his voice: "With you, you are just the second in command. You can't save the Green Wolf Gang."
Ma Bin said solemnly: "What if I become the big boss and have the help of Captain Li?"
Without waiting for Li Shang to speak, Ma Bin added, "Besides, I just led people to rescue Captain Li's wife and son on the way."
Li Shang was stunned and couldn't hold it in any longer: "What did you say?"
Ma Bin: "My wife and son can get new ones, but if we can keep them, that would be better, right, Captain Li?"
As they were talking, a woman's crying voice came from the phone: "Husband, a group of people rushed into our house just now and wanted to kidnap me and my son. It was this man who came and rescued us. He is a good man. If you can help him, please help him~"
Li Shang was silent for three seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Got it, give the phone back to him."
Ma Bin: "Captain Li?"
Li Shang: "Where are the people who kidnapped my wife and son?"
Ma Bin: “They are all dead.”
Li Shang: "What do you plan to do specifically?"
Ma Bin: "The phone call is not convenient. I need to meet with Captain Li."
Li Shang frowned and whispered, "How do I know if you are lying or setting a trap to lure me over?"
Ma Bin was well prepared, and he was sincere in risking everything: "I can have someone send Captain Li's wife and son to the police station first, and then Captain Li can decide to meet me after they are confirmed to be safe."
Li Shang's doubts were half dispelled, and he said cautiously: "I'll decide the location and time."
Ma Bin readily agreed: "Okay, but I'm afraid I don't have much time left."
Li Shang felt as if the road ahead was over, but there was an unexpected turn of events. The Green Wolf Gang's affairs might still be salvaged, if Ma Bin could believe it.
Li Shang: "Send the person here as soon as possible. I will write you a letter and you can come alone then."
…….1 hour later.
Across the street from the police station, in an inconspicuous little restaurant.
After looking around a few times, Ma Bin lowered the brim of his hat, pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the hotel, several plainclothes detectives watched him walk in, and after confirming that no one was following him, they reported quietly into the headset.
Inside the inner room, Li Shang, wearing a full set of combat uniform, sat at the dining table. There was nothing on the table except a glass of water. There was a pistol under the table, with the muzzle facing the opposite side.
Ma Bin walked in and sat opposite.
There was no greeting, and there was nothing to greet.
Li Shang was already furious with the Green Wolf Gang, but considering that Ma Bin had just rescued his wife and son, he did not say anything bad to them. Instead, he asked in a cold voice, "Is there a guy named Xiao Wu in the Green Wolf Gang?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ma Bin was stunned for a moment, then answered, "Yes, he is Boss Zheng's close confidant. Did he do anything?"
Li Shang sneered: "Before he died, he asked me to tell Boss Zheng that he had paid off his debt with his life. What do you think he did?"
Ma Bin was silent. He lowered his head, took out his phone, and looked through the photo album. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes. He thought to himself, "This is Xiao Wu's last words to me. It's exactly what I expected. There's really nothing new about it until death~"
"Is this the person?" Ma Bin clicked on a photo and handed it over.
Li Shang took the phone and glanced at the photo. The photo was diagonally opposite a private room with the door half open. Zheng Si, who was half naked, could be vaguely seen inside, and a woman's body was lying on the ground.
There were two people guarding the door of the private room, one of them was Xiao Wu, and the other one he didn't recognize was named Ma Wei.
Ma Bin pointed at the photo and explained, "I didn't know that Boss Zheng assigned Xiao Wu a task. Boss Zheng thought I was not doing my job well, so he bypassed me in all the operations today."
Li Shang stared at Ma Bin with burning eyes, trying to judge in his heart how credible Ma Bin's words were. In fact, he already believed 90% of it, because Ma Bin's confession was consistent with the facts he saw today. However, out of professional instinct, he still had a last bit of doubt in his heart.
Isn’t this person blindly loyal to Boss Zheng?
Is it just to save oneself or is there some other deeper motivation or reason behind the betrayal?
Ma Bin seemed to know Li Shang's doubts. He took off his hat, revealing his shaved head. His scalp was covered with blood scabs, which looked horrible and extended all the way to his forehead.
Ma Bin gave Li Shang a sad smile: "I still remember what Captain Li taught me that day - the gang is a quagmire, and the loyal people will sink to the bottom first."
Li Shang frowned.
Ma Bin pointed at the female corpse in the photo and said, "Xiao You was the one I brought into the gang. Boss Zheng knew she was close to me, but he still tortured her to death."
He pointed at the blood scars on his head and said, "Boss Zheng has gone completely crazy. This is the result of my persuading him, but I couldn't persuade him, so..."
Ma Bin looked exhausted. He pulled out a recorder from his pocket and said quietly, "It's too much trouble to explain. Captain Li, just listen to it yourself."
Li Shang took the recorder and clicked play.
[Zheng Si: In the last three days, tie everyone up and bring them to me. Xiao Hang is dead, and I want to avenge my son.][Ma Bin: There are nearly 50 people on the list. If they are all tied up, the police station will be furious, and Li Shang will also...][Zheng Si: Do you think I am afraid of the police station, afraid of a mere deputy captain of the police station?][Ma Bin: Brother, Li Shang has warned me several times. This time is different from the past. Things have gotten out of hand and cannot be contained.][Zheng Si: Over the years, I have gone against all odds and let you sit firmly in the position of the second leader of the gang. It is because you have a good brain, but you are not vicious enough.][Ma Bin is silent, and there is a sound of heavy breathing.][Zheng Si: You have disappointed me.] (ps: vicious is not a typo, it is a word in the editing.)[Ma Bin’s head is grasped by a big hand, and the friction between the glass shards and his scalp makes a teeth-grinding sound.][Ma Bin gasps and says in horror: What do you mean, brother? ][Zheng Si: You are not ruthless enough. Let me teach you. If Li Shang dares to obstruct, then kill him. If you can't kill Li Shang, then kill the people around him.][Ma Bin lost his voice: He is the deputy captain of the patrol room, not an empty civilian.][Zheng Si grinned: You don't understand. If you want to be ruthless, hold the knife firmly. What am I afraid of? I am afraid of him.][Zheng Si lowered his voice, and his voice was crazy and violent: Li Shang has a son, a wife or a mistress, right? Tie up his whole family and force him to shut up and obey. If he doesn't obey, I will tear them to pieces for him to see.][Zheng Si threw his hands, and Ma Bin fell heavily to the ground, with a crisp sound of broken glass.][Zheng Si stepped on the broken glass, and his crazy voice was chilling: Second boss, you don't have to use your brain this time. Just watch what I do and how I kill people. In just three days, I will replace Xiao Hang...][The following voice is not very clear, and the recording ends here.] (ps: The original content of the edited and synthesized recording is in Chapter 47.
