"You traitor!"
With the gun pointed at Tao Yu a few meters away, Scarface's forehead veins bulged, and his expression was as ferocious as a raging beast. "We've ended up like this because of you!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Zuo Xianglong grabbed Scarface Pao, "He's an undercover cop. If we kill him, we..."
"At a time like this, you're still worried about this and that?"
Scarface shoved Zuo Xianglong aside and kept his gun pointed at Tao Yu. "What I hate most is a traitor like you who betrays his own people."
"Scarface, you'd better not do anything reckless!"
Tao Yu raised his hands, and the steel pipe in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. He patiently persuaded, "I'm a member of the police force, and I have absolutely nothing to do with traitors!"
He paused, then added, "Besides, even if you kill me now, you can't escape. I advise you to put down your gun and come with me to face a just trial. That way, you can at least try to get a reduced sentence."
"Haha, Tao Yu, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Scarface laughed menacingly, "You should know very well what I've done. Even if I surrender now, do you think I'll have a chance to live?"
Tao Yu fell silent.
Scarface is not only the mastermind behind drug trafficking in this area, but also has a long history of murders, including arson, robbery, and rape.
Therefore, even if Scarface surrenders now, the final judgment will be far more painful than death.
As a police officer, he couldn't possibly make any promises just to trick the other party into putting down their gun.
"Hehe, so you've tacitly agreed, haven't you?"
Tao Yu remained silent, while Scarface's smile grew even more sinister. "Since we're all going to die anyway, what do I have to worry about? Killing one of you isn't much."
As he said this, the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly intensified.
Across from him, Tao Yu's expression changed.
It’s over!
He had no way to dodge Scarface's gun.
Just as Scarface was about to pull the trigger, the door to the secret passage next to him was suddenly forced open from the inside.
Immediately, a figure burst out from inside and pounced on Scarface.
But in the end, it was still a little too late.
【Bang】
With a gunshot, Scarface managed to pull the trigger before being tackled.
...
Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce Company Dormitory Building.
Wang Qian lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
According to Tao Yu, the arrest operation will begin promptly at midnight tonight.
If he's not mistaken, West Street and the old town are probably in complete chaos right now.
As for the outcome, he is not sure yet.
After all, the operation was brought forward because of his forceful intervention.
Once he gets involved, the outcome will definitely be different from the previous life.
For example, Tao Yu, who was drugged by him, is currently sleeping soundly in one of the rooms on the second floor and is destined to be unable to participate in this operation.
Therefore, whether or not they can successfully capture Scarface and Left Dragon is still unknown.
His only worry now is that Tao Yu will definitely notice something amiss when he wakes up tomorrow morning, and he'll have to figure out what excuse he can use to perfectly cover it up.
[Knock knock knock]
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.
At the same time, a deep male voice came from outside, "Xiao Qian, something's happened."
"Brother Long?"
Upon recognizing the person knocking, Wang Qian asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Tao Yu has disappeared!
"What? Tao Yu is missing?"
Wang Qian's expression changed, and he hurriedly got out of bed, rushed over, and opened the door.
As expected, Yang Shenglong's rugged face came into view.
However, his face was filled with anxiety at this moment.
"Xiao Qian, I just went back upstairs and checked, and I found that Tao Yu has disappeared."
"What exactly happened?"
As Wang Qian ran downstairs, he asked, "Did you ask the security guard on duty at the main gate?"
"I asked him, and he said he didn't see Tao Yu leave."
Yang Shenglong quickly followed behind Wang Qian, his tone filled with self-reproach, "I looked around just now, and if I'm not mistaken, he probably climbed over the wall to get here."
"But wasn't he in a coma?"
Wang Qian was completely baffled. "According to the dosage, he shouldn't wake up until at least tomorrow morning."
"Then I don't know."
Yang Shenglong asked with surprise and doubt, "Could it be that he has a better constitution and your sleeping potion didn't have much effect on him?"
"That's possible..."
As they spoke, the two had already rushed to the second floor.
Sure enough, apart from a somewhat disheveled bed sheet, the room was completely empty.
Wang Qian went to the window again and looked outside. He did indeed find several footprints on the windowsill.
"He must have woken up on his own, then jumped out of the window and climbed over the wall to leave!"
Based on various clues, Wang Qian could basically confirm Yang Shenglong's guess.
"You mean Tao Yu, now that he's awake, why didn't he use the main entrance? Why did he choose to leave from here?"
Yang Shenglong asked in confusion, "We didn't kidnap him. If he wants to leave, can we stop him?"
"There's no point in guessing now!"
Wang Qian shook his head with a wry smile, "He'll come back to me sooner or later. I'll ask him more about it when he gets back."
He looked up at the deep night sky, a hint of worry appearing on his face. "I hope he can come back and settle accounts with me."
He drugged Tao Yu in an attempt to prevent the tragedy of his previous life from repeating itself through this simple and brutal method.
However, it now seems that the dosage he gave Tao Yu was still too light, which is why the other party woke up again after only a short time of unconsciousness and then left on his own.
If he guessed correctly, Tao Yu's unannounced departure was definitely to arrive at the scene and cooperate with the police in the arrest operation when it began.
In that case, everything he has done will probably be in vain.
His forceful intervention could not change Tao Yu's fate of becoming a martyr.
"Xiao Qian, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been patrolling around like that!"
Yang Shenglong's self-reproachful voice came from behind, "If I had stayed here watching him, maybe things wouldn't have happened..."
"Brother Long, this isn't your fault!"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted, "If this is fate, there's no point in you staying here."
"So what should we do next?" Yang Shenglong asked.
"We can only wait!"
Wang Qian took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "We are ultimately just mortals with flesh and blood, and there are many things we are powerless to change."
Since his rebirth, he has always been able to seize opportunities and create all sorts of amazing miracles, thanks to his memories from his previous life.
Even things that are destined to happen, he can forcefully reverse the course of events through his intervention and involvement.
But this time, it seems he failed!
