Chapter 264 Precognitive Action
When the sirens tore through the twilight, Li Zhen had been tortured to the point of being unconscious.
Police boats surrounded the fisherman, father and son.
When Xia Lili "saw" this scene, she immediately realized that the button Li Zhen had secretly pressed before was the speedboat's hidden alarm locator!
At this moment, in the hallucination, the fisherman and his son saw that they were surrounded by police and frantically grabbed Li Zhen as a hostage: "Back off! Or we'll kill him!"
"Bang!"
Two precise bursts of fire.
The sniper's bullet pierced the forehead of the father and son.
The two criminals who took the hostages were shot dead on the spot.
When Li Zhen was rescued, his nails were still digging deep into the indentation of the alarm button on his palm.
The last scene of the hallucination shows Li Zhen lying unconscious in the ICU ward.
The illusion ends here.
After Xia Lili regained consciousness, she quickly called out to Li Zhen.
Her face turned pale: "Brother Li, wait a minute."
Xia Lili couldn't tell now whether it was safer for Li Zhen to follow them or for her to stay where she was.
"It seems like someone is watching you."
Xia Lili made a quick assessment and realized that since Li Zhen was by her side, she could still predict danger.
"When they brought me here."
Xia Lili shook her phone and pretended to be calm: "The latest information I just received."
"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." Xia Lili's voice was filled with sincere apology.
She stared at Li Zhen, and those hallucinatory images flashed through her mind - this man would rather be tortured to death than give in in order to keep her secret.
"For your safety, we need you to stay with us for a while."
She spoke softly, but her heart was filled with confusion. She didn't understand why this stranger bodyguard was so desperate to protect her.
Li Zhen just shook his head when he heard this, and a nonchalant smile appeared on his lips: "This is our job in this line of work. We get paid to do things, so there is no such thing as getting involved or not."
"Even if I die, my mother and my sister will receive a generous pension."
Xia Lili nodded stiffly, feeling sad.
Qin Chaoyang, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this conversation. Although his superiors had clearly instructed him to obey Xia Lili's orders, the situation before him still shocked him.
The perceptive Li Zhen noticed Qin Chaoyang's hesitation and took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry, officer. I'm from the military and have a good family background. The Pei family has always been strict when hiring bodyguards. They will thoroughly investigate three generations of ancestors."
He paused, his tone filled with pride, "My grandfather is an old soldier who has made great contributions."
Li Zhen said seriously, "Your operation this time is confidential. It must be extremely important and concerns national affairs. I will cooperate with you."
"I'll leave the pursuit of the criminal to you. I will guarantee Miss Xia's safety with my life."
Her voice was firm and powerful.
Qin Chaoyang was silent for a moment, finally nodded, turned around and continued driving the speedboat.
Li Zhen steadily controlled the other speedboat, always maintaining a perfect escort distance and following closely behind.
Xia Lili was sitting on the speedboat, still thinking about the fisherman father and son in the hallucination scene.
She suddenly realized that even if Li Zhen ignored the fisherman father and son, the group behind the scenes had other ways to make Li Zhen stay, and they would be even more brutal.
When Li Zhen saw Liming and his son in the hallucination scene, his long-term sense of smell as a security guard made him realize that something was wrong and that he might be in danger.
So Li Zhen pretended to agree to buy time for the fisherman and his son, and found a chance to press the alarm button.
This fisherman father and son are probably in cahoots with the smugglers the police are tracking, and they are extremely dangerous.
If the police could catch this father and son fisherman, they might be able to dig out the big fish behind them.
Xia Lili recalled the details in the sensory picture, trying to find clues from the characteristics of the fishermen's fishing boat and the "father and son" fishermen in the hallucination fragment.
Xia Lili called Li Qihan and said, "Captain Li, I saw the doom scene again..."
Xia Lili glanced at the time and combined it with Li Zhen's original plan to return to Yangcheng Wharf.
"In the hallucination, Li Zhen encountered the fisherman father and son at sea at 13:53, while the current time is 12:21."
Li Qihan: "What model of speedboat is it? This bodyguard you mentioned drives a speedboat. What speed does he usually use?"
Xia Lili quickly asked Li Zhen, and then described the model of the speedboat to Li Qihan.
Li Qihan replied after a long while.
"I have locked onto the target sea area based on the speed of the speedboat and its return route."
"I have requested a secret arrest now!"
Xia Lili breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll provide you with a detailed sketch!"
She pulled out her sketchbook from her bag and drew the fishing boat the fisherman and his son were on when they called for help, as well as the items on the boat.
Next are two quick portraits of a fisherman father and son, along with a rough estimate of their height.
The speedboat was very bumpy. It was like hell for Xia Lili to paint on it. She felt like vomiting. The boat was also bumpy and swayed from side to side when it encountered waves.
But she knew she couldn't stop. She had to find this group of people as quickly as possible so that her chances of catching them would be greater!
Xia Lili tied herself up with a rope.
Qin Chaoyang saw what Xia Lili was drawing, and his intuition told him that Xia Lili's drawing was related to the smuggling case they were investigating.
But when he saw Xia Lili's pale face and extremely uncomfortable appearance, yet she insisted on holding the pen with her wrist shaking, he was filled with awe.
Xia Lili drew and took pictures of each picture and sent them to Li Qihan. After 25 minutes, she finally finished drawing all the information.
After suppressing the urge to vomit, Xia Lili took a photo of the last sketch and uploaded it. Then she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she leaned over the side of the boat and vomited everything out.
Li Zhen handed her a wet wipe. After Xia Lili said thank you, he handed her mineral water and seasickness medicine.
After taking the medicine, Xia Liyi closed his eyes and rested for a while before he recovered.
After Xia Lili recovered, 10 minutes later, two other police speedboats joined their team.
She put on a communication headset and quickly asked the coast guards on the other two ships to look at her.
"Target found!"
Qin Chaoyang put down the telescope.
In the distance, the shadows of two modified smuggling ships could be seen with the naked eye.
"There's a dwarf killer on the opposite ship, don't be fooled!"
Xia Lili hurriedly instructed.
"receive!"
Responses from other coast guards came over the intercom.
The moment Xia Lili's eyes met the eyes of the coast guard on another patrol speedboat, a dazzling flash of fire suddenly flashed before her eyes.
The hallucination scene unfolded in an instant.
On the cloudy sea, the patrol boat on which the coast guard was stationed was chasing a modified fishing boat with all its might.
Suddenly, three dark figures emerged from the deck of the fishing boat, carrying crudely welded steel pipes - they were clearly homemade cannons!
