Zhao Daming followed him, looking in the direction of his gaze, and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"elder brother."
Zhang Cheng's voice was soft, yet it carried a chill.
"Zhang Jingtao's ambition is too great."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Daming was taken aback.
"How could a criminal investigation section chief have the leisure to come to a hotel and 'kindly' advise us to leave when the whole city is under martial law and a major case is raging?"
"This doesn't make sense."
A cold smile curled at the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth.
"He didn't come to persuade us to leave."
"He's here to confirm that we'll definitely be on the road tonight."
"Tonight, we're not going anywhere; we'll just stay here."
downstairs.
Zhang Jingtao walked out of the hotel and looked up at the window on the fourth floor, which was covered by curtains, with a dark look in his eyes.
A few seconds later, he looked away, mounted the motorcycle parked by the roadside, and with fluid movements, twisted the throttle and disappeared into the night.
The motorcycle drove past two intersections and turned into a dark and deserted alley.
Deep in the alley, a young man in a leather jacket had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Zhang Jingtao approaching, he immediately stepped forward, lowering his voice with a hint of excitement in it.
"Section Chief Zhang, is everything arranged?"
"Young Master Zhao is pressing us hard, wanting to take advantage of the chaos tonight to eliminate any future troubles."
Zhang Jingtao's gaze was as cold as ice.
"Are all the men in place? Remember, I want him to die on the way back to Funing."
"Don't worry!" the young man grinned. "My men are already keeping an eye on them. As long as they leave the city, I guarantee it will be done without anyone noticing."
"etc."
Zhang Jingtao suddenly spoke, his voice carrying an unquestionable command.
"Except for Zhang Cheng, no one else in the car can be moved, not even a hair."
The young man's smile froze for a moment, then he shrugged and spread his hands.
"Section Chief Zhang, this is a difficult situation."
"Bullets don't have eyes."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jingtao's figure approached like a ghost!
With one hand forming a claw, he precisely gripped the young man's shoulder bone, while his other elbow slammed into the man's carotid artery with lightning speed!
The young man couldn't even scream; his face contorted in pain, and his body went limp instantly.
Zhang Jingtao lifted him up like a chick and pressed his face hard against the cold wall, his voice sounding like it came from hell:
"I don't care if bullets have eyes or not, you have to."
"Did you understand?"
"I understand...I understand..." the young man managed to squeeze out a few words, his eyes filled with fear.
"snort!"
Zhang Jingtao snorted coldly, flicked his arm, and slammed the young man hard to the ground.
The young man struggled to his feet, rubbing his aching neck, but a bizarre smile slowly appeared on his face. He silently gave Zhang Jingtao a thumbs-up as he looked at his back.
Zhang Jingtao didn't look back, but walked straight out of the alley and re-entered the night of Jiaxing, this city of sin.
...
Meanwhile, at Jiaxing People's Hospital.
The corridor on the third floor of the inpatient department was filled with smoke and burly men with fierce faces.
Inside the ward, Feng Sanyao, his arm in a sling, leaned against the bed with a livid face, his eyes filled with the terror of surviving a disaster and boundless hatred.
He never dreamed that death would come first, just as they were discussing how to kill Huang Pinyu.
Those gunmen were like demons crawling out of hell.
"Have you found that bastard Huang Pinyu yet!" Feng Sanyao gritted his teeth, staring at a young man with a buzz cut standing by the bed.
The young man was in his mid-twenties, with a sharp and capable demeanor, and a pair of narrow eyes that flashed with a wolf-like ferocity.
Upon hearing the question, the young man shook his head, his voice steady.
"Huang Pinyu was protected by that group of Northeasterners and is being kept very well hidden."
"Useless trash!" Feng Sanyao cursed angrily.
