"You dare!"
Gao Qiqiang immediately became agitated, staring intently at the bald man and saying, "Fourth brother, I'm warning you, if my brother loses even a single hair, I'll fight you all to the death! Anyone who dares to touch my brother, I'll kill their entire family!"
The bald man immediately flew into a rage: "Are you fucking threatening me? Gao Qiqiang, don't you want to die? Don't you know whose territory this is?"
"Ten million. Let me think of a way. I'll ask Uncle Tai for help to raise it. But don't force me, and you absolutely cannot hurt my brother. Otherwise, I'll just go all out and fight to the death! Tell Tiger that nobody is easily intimidated. He can kidnap my brother, so why can't I kidnap his son? Everyone has family."
Gao Qiqiang's face was very ugly, but facing the menacing bald man and his group of henchmen, he finally held back and gritted his teeth to persist.
"Alright, if you're willing to pay, that's great. I'll pass on your message to Tiger. Have fun, and don't forget to pay the bill before you leave!"
The bald man smiled and placed the red wine on the table before leaving the private room with his underlings.
"Fourth Brother, should we send someone to keep an eye on him?" the younger brother asked.
The bald man scoffed and laughed, "No need. What skills could a spineless coward who relies on a sugar daddy possibly have? Let him play. He can only drown his sorrows in alcohol, haha!"
No one paid any attention to Gao Qiqiang until the busiest time of the night at Wanshi Mansion.
Gao Qiqiang staggered drunkenly toward the back door of the lobby on the first floor.
At the staircase, there is an entrance to a basement, which was originally used as a warehouse and was unguarded, but the fire door was locked.
Gao Qiqiang tried kicking the door several times, but found that he couldn't open it.
At that moment, someone inside the door started crying.
Someone's there!
Gao Qiqiang quickly moved closer and whispered, "Is anyone inside? I'm a policeman, I've come specifically to rescue you."
No one spoke inside.
Gao Qiqiang gritted his teeth and continued, "If anyone says anything, I'll immediately notify the team to come and rescue them. If not, I'll leave."
"There's someone here. We were all kidnapped. Can you rescue us?"
Through the crack in the door, Gao Qiqiang saw the girl's pitiful face and asked fearfully.
"Yes, how many of you are there?" Gao Qiqiang asked excitedly.
The girl cried, "23 of them! Please, please help us get out of here! I want to go home! I never want to run away from home again!"
"Wait!"
Gao Qiqiang immediately sent a text message to An Xin, urging him to come in quickly.
From the lobby on the first floor of Wanshi Mansion to the basement, it's only a few minutes' distance, but five minutes have passed and there's still no movement.
At this moment, An Xin and Li Xiang were also extremely troubled.
After receiving the intelligence from Gao Qiqiang, they immediately took action, but unexpectedly, they were blocked by Wanshi Haoting in the hall.
The one leading the group was none other than the bald fourth brother.
He led a group of his underlings, forming a human wall that completely blocked the hall.
An Xin said, "Have you thought this through? If you openly defy the police, I can shoot you dead on the spot!"
"Fourth brother, you have a whole stack of criminal records in our bureau. Think it over carefully. Can you bear the responsibility for violently resisting the law?" Li Xiang shouted sternly.
The bald man remained unfazed, staring at An Xin and Li Xiang, and sneered, "Don't think I don't know the law. You don't have a search warrant, so what right do you have to come in? Brothers, Tiger said their procedures are illegal. If they dare to come in, kill them all. After tonight, Tiger will reward each of you with ten thousand yuan!"
The bald man was so confident because three minutes earlier, he had received a call from Tiger, who said that an undercover agent had infiltrated Wanshi Mansion and that the Jinghai Public Security Bureau was waiting outside the door with a team of officers.
Tiger gave Baldy a strict order: he must stop An Xin and Li Xiang, even if it means a fight.
Anyway, Anxin and his group acted illegally. If someone really died, the law will not punish them because of the sheer number of people involved.
An Xin's face was grim. He glanced at Li Xiang out of the corner of his eye and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why isn't there a search warrant?"
"I applied a long time ago, and the Public Security Bureau said it was okay to proceed, and the search warrant would arrive soon, but for some reason, it hasn't been delivered yet," Li Xiang said anxiously.
"Send it my ass, the news must have leaked. There's a power struggle going on at the top. Tiger has powerful connections, he'll probably insist our procedures were illegal and resist to the end."
"Then what should we do?"
An Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot! Make an example of them! These thugs were very bold before this happened, but they'll be scared once someone dies."
Li Xiang's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? Without a search warrant, if you open fire, will you still be able to wear these clothes?"
"Gao Qiqiang is still inside. Even if I don't wear this uniform, I'm going to finish the case today!"
At this moment, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released.
As An Xin spoke, he fired three warning shots into the air. After that, he pointed the gun at the bald leader and shouted, "If you don't move aside, I'll shoot!"
The bald man was actually panicked. An Xin, that fool, actually dared to fire a shot.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he gritted his teeth and said, "Your procedures are illegal. If you fire, I'll sue you!"
Bang!
No sooner had the bald man finished speaking than An Xin fired a shot, hitting him in the shoulder.
Li Xiang thought of stopping them, but it was too late.
The bald man screamed and fell to the ground. His gang of underlings, who had never seen anything like this before, scattered like birds at the sound of the gunshot.
"action!"
An Xin waved his hand and rushed forward, heading straight for the basement at the back door.
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the basement, Gao Qiqiang had been beaten beyond recognition.
With the bald man in front holding the fort, he naturally sent a few henchmen to deal with Gao Qiqiang and then move the girl from the basement.
Unexpectedly, Gao Qiqiang was very tough. Even when surrounded and beaten by four thugs, and his head was bleeding profusely, he still clung tightly to one of the thugs' trouser legs.
"Go to hell and get the hell out of here!"
The thug kicked Gao Qiqiang aside and went to open the door.
But Gao Qiqiang revealed a grim smile and bit down hard on the thug's calf.
"Holy crap! Are you a dog?! I'll fucking kill you!"
The thug screamed in agony after being bitten, then picked up his machete and swung it at Gao Qiqiang's head.
Bang!
Finally, An Xin arrived, fired a shot into the ground, and shouted sternly, "Don't move! Everyone put your hands behind your heads, or I'll shoot!"
These thugs were just there to keep watch; they weren't risking their lives. When they heard the gunshot, they dropped their weapons, raised their hands, and squatted down against the wall without any hesitation.
Later, Li Xiang arrived with his men, took the key, opened the basement door, and everyone was stunned.
