Midnight.
The original residence of Qin Nan in the old neighborhood, a spacious yet dark hall.
Scarface glanced at the clock on the wall, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
"It's already midnight, and there's still no movement. It seems that Wang Qian either doesn't dare to call the police, or he's really stupid enough to still be dreaming of investing three million in you so that he can later take half of the profits from all the businesses on West Street."
"Boss, which possibility do you think is more likely?" Zuo Xianglong asked.
Who cares?
Scarface waved his hand dismissively, "Anyway, he's already meat on our chopping board, we can cut him however we want."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the private room was violently forced open from the outside.
【Bang】
With a loud bang, the entire private room seemed to tremble slightly, and the door, which had been slammed open, nearly had its latches come off.
Everyone present was startled.
But when they saw who had rushed in, a chorus of angry curses erupted.
"Little Si, are you looking for death?"
"Who gave you the audacity to force your way in?"
"Aren't you tired of living?"
Not to mention the others, Scarface and Zuo Xianglong also had gloomy faces and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
But Xiao Si, who had stormed in, didn't care about any of that. He gasped, "Boss, something terrible has happened..."
"What's up?"
Seeing Xiao Si's anxious face, Scarface Pao forgot about being angry.
"Police! Police! We're surrounded!"
Xiao Si pointed in the direction they came from while recounting the events in a panic.
"What? We're surrounded by the police?"
"how so?"
"Could it be that that little bastard Wang Qian actually called the police?"
"But don't the police have our informants? What was that guy doing? Why didn't he notify the boss beforehand?"
For a moment, everyone present panicked.
In their calculations, even if Wang Qian reported the incident to the police, they should have received the news immediately if there were any signs of trouble that were detrimental to them, since they had informants within the police force.
This is one of the reasons why they have dared to run rampant on West Street for so many years.
Of course, in addition to this, they also colluded with many local officials and law enforcement officers through bribery, threats, extortion, and blackmail. Even if they did something outrageous, the law enforcement agencies would turn a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by the police before they received word of the incident.
It's easy to see that the situation was no longer under their control.
"Second brother, what's the situation with Ah Hu?"
Surprised, Scarface Pao cast an inquiring glance at Zuo Xianglong.
Zuo Xianglong was equally bewildered. "Boss, I don't know either."
"Could it be that Ah Hu's identity within the police force has been exposed?" Scarface asked in surprise.
"There's no point in making wild guesses now."
Zuo Xianglong pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Ah Hu is really discovered by the police, with our connections, even if the police come, they can't do anything to us. Why don't we go out and take a look first?"
"Alright!"
Scarface nodded and strode outside.
The other underlings followed suit.
When they came out of the gate, the area was already surrounded by police, with countless gun barrels pointed at them from all directions.
At the same time, a voice amplified tenfold came through the loudspeaker: "Scarface Cannon, Zuo Xianglong, you are surrounded. You can't escape. Surrender immediately with your hands behind your heads."
Scarface and Zuo Xianglong's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
Were we really surrounded?
How could this be?
How could they not have noticed anything in advance?
What are they doing, planting informants among the police?
And what kind of abilities does Wang Qian possess that allows him to secretly and without anyone noticing mobilize so many police officers to surround them?
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Zuo Xianglong was also terrified and stammered, "Are we really going to surrender?"
Scarface Pao's breath hitched, and his expression shifted unpredictably.
Given the current situation, should we not surrender but instead engage in a direct confrontation with the police?
That would be a dead end!
As his thoughts raced, he lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, it seems we have no choice but to back down for now."
As he spoke, he raised his hands above his head, then clasped them behind his head, making a gesture of surrender.
"Boss!"
Zuo Xianglong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "We've committed so many crimes. If we surrender, even if we're not sentenced to death, we'll definitely spend the rest of our lives in jail!"
A henchman with a long criminal record chimed in, "Boss, rather than spending the rest of our lives as prisoners, we might as well fight them to the death. Maybe we can still fight our way out."
"madness!"
Scarface lowered his voice and cursed, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Where there's life, there's hope'? With so many guns pointed at us, fighting head-on is just suicide."
"But if we don't fight, we have no way to survive!" Zuo Xianglong said, his face full of resentment.
"Second brother, don't be discouraged, we still have a way out."
Scarface explained patiently, “Don’t forget how much money we’ve spent bribing officials and police officers over the years, including many in important positions. They won’t just stand by and watch us go to jail.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xianglong's eyes lit up immediately. "Boss is brilliant!"
Immediately, he said to his terrified underlings, "Everyone, don't resist, quickly put your hands on your heads and surrender."
