A dark and windy night is the perfect opportunity to kill someone and silence them.
Southern suburbs.
In an old alley.
Several figures moved quickly along the alleyway against the fierce wind, each carrying a machete that occasionally reflected a chilling glint.
"We're here! This is it!"
They stopped in front of a nearly rotten wooden door and quickly dispersed.
The leader stood on tiptoe, glanced at the door number, and after confirming it was correct, waved his hand and ordered, "Make your move!"
【Bang】
With a kick, the door latches were instantly dislodged, and the entire nearly rotten wooden door flew inside.
The group moved swiftly, rushing into the house like shadows. Without a word, they began wildly slashing at the bed with their knives.
After only a few swings, one of them suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Stop, it seems like nobody's here!"
The others stopped at the same time. One of them took out a flashlight, pushed the switch, and the flashlight beam shone on the bed.
Apart from the bed covered in fluff and scraps of cloth, there wasn't a single drop of blood, let alone a corpse.
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
"Gu Zhijian isn't here at all!"
"Where did he go?"
Just as the group was filled with doubt, a sudden, violent commotion broke out outside.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing horn blared in.
"Police, don't move! You're surrounded! Put down your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, and surrender!"
When they looked outside, they discovered that various glaring lights were on.
Meanwhile, a group of uniformed police officers had already surrounded the area.
"Damn it, it's a trap!"
We've been infected!
"What do we do now?"
In an instant, the group panicked and became helpless.
They tried to find a place to escape, but after a few moments, the only exit they could find was the door they had come in through.
Outside, the area was already surrounded by a large number of police officers.
In this situation, they have no way to escape.
Unless, of course, they're willing to risk their lives and fight their way through the police's encirclement.
But as it turns out, although they were feared for their ruthlessness in the underworld, they lacked the courage to fight back when surrounded by the police.
After some deliberation, the group obediently put down their machetes, put their hands behind their heads, and came out tremblingly to surrender.
...
In addition to the southern suburbs, a similar scene occurred in the dormitory building of Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce Company.
Taking advantage of the storm, a group of people scaled the wall and sneaked into the dormitory building.
After knocking the security guard unconscious, the group accurately located Wang Qian's room, broke down the door, and started hacking and slashing wildly inside.
But it turned out that they had cut nothing at all.
Because there was no one in the room.
By the time they realized it was a trap, a group of security guards, including Yang Shenglong, had already rushed in, along with a group of police officers from the nearby police station.
As expected, everyone involved in the night raid was captured; not one escaped.
...
Three o'clock in the morning.
The wind howled, as if it would tear the whole world to pieces.
Deep within the Liu family mansion, while the other courtyards were already plunged into darkness, only one courtyard still had its lights on.
Through the thick glass door, Liu Jingzhong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression unusually solemn.
There was a lot of noise outside, but the room was eerily quiet.
Zhou Qin sat on the sofa in the corner, barely daring to breathe.
Why haven't we heard anything yet?
After glancing at the time again, Liu Jingzhong couldn't help but ask a question.
Zhou Qin trembled slightly, stood up abruptly, and said with a fierce but weak voice, "Dad, wait patiently. The weather is too bad right now. Even if they succeed, they probably won't be able to send the message to us."
Liu Jingzhong's expression shifted uncertainly. "Do you think it's possible for them to fail?"
"impossible!"
Zhou Qin said decisively, "They are professionals at killing people to silence witnesses. You offered a high price of one million, and Scarface Pao is your brother-in-law. They won't fail."
Seeing that Liu Jingzhong was still frowning, Zhou Qin pointed to the chaotic scene outside the glass door and added, "In this kind of weather, neither Wang Qian nor Gu Zhijian can go out, so their deaths are almost inevitable."
Even though he knew Zhou Qin was just trying to comfort him, Liu Jingzhong's anxiety was somewhat eased.
"Then let's wait a little longer!"
He sat back down on the sofa, forcing himself to calm down.
All he can do now is pray silently that the storm will pass before dawn and good news will come.
However, the storm showed no signs of abating; instead, it intensified.
An old tree in the yard was uprooted.
The tin-roofed houses not far away were completely encircled by the sky and disappeared;
Occasionally, streaks of lightning illuminated the sky, plunging the entire expanse into chaos, with debris flying everywhere like a roaring torrent.
The storm lasted until dawn.
Liu Jingzhong didn't sleep a wink all night. Every moment felt like he was being tortured on a raging fire. The closer it got to dawn, the more depressed and uneasy he felt.
Is it dawn yet?
Looking up at the glass window again, Liu Jingzhong let out a hoarse voice.
The raging winds outside were still howling, creating a deafening roar like thunder. Not only Zhou Qin in the corner, but even he himself couldn't hear his own voice.
"Zhou Qin, you said..."
Just as I was about to ask something, I stopped abruptly halfway through my sentence.
