Chapter 024 Failed to Capture Alive!
Why would the police appear at this time, not earlier or later?
The police had arrived, making it impossible to capture anyone alive. Su Rui thought for a moment, decided not to do anything further, and turned to leave!
Although he couldn’t capture anyone alive, Su Rui also chose not to eliminate all these people.
After all, this was China, and Su Rui had to be mindful of the consequences of his actions.
He left quickly, disappearing into the vast darkness of night within minutes.
However, at that moment, a car suddenly drove past the accident site ahead of the police cars.
It was also a Passat.
“Sigh, not successful, are they all dead?” the person in the driver’s seat muttered to himself: “Whether they’re dead or not doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is that I can’t let you live… I must destroy all evidence.”
As he spoke, his arm extended out of the car window, holding a gun.
He fired seven or eight shots in succession!
The high-impact bullets easily penetrated the metal of the cars. Some entered the heads of the people inside, while others made intimate contact with the full tanks of gasoline!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three cars exploded simultaneously!
The massive explosion illuminated the entire night sky. The scorching heat wave seemed to raise the surrounding temperature by more than ten degrees. Car fragments were propelled over a hundred meters away, scattered everywhere! Traffic on this road had completely collapsed!
In the light of the explosion, there was no trace of that Passat anymore!
Wang Yuan drove the car at high speed, returning to the Lin family villa within minutes. He hurriedly reported the situation to Lin Fuzhang. After briefly explaining Su Rui’s ambush, Lin Fuzhang didn’t hesitate for a moment and directly told him: “Bring people, bring weapons, follow me!”
Wang Yuan was stunned. He hadn’t expected the chairman would personally go to rescue Su Rui! The situation was dangerous enough, and if the chairman went personally and something happened to him, it would be disastrous!
Of course, this also reflected how important Su Rui’s position was!
“Boss, this…” Wang Yuan appeared very troubled.
“What’s there to be troubled about? If Su Rui wasn’t helping our Lin family, would he have gotten into this mess? Those people are all targeting the Lin family!” Lin Fuzhang said irritably: “People should know how to show gratitude! Why aren’t you leaving immediately?”
Hearing the phrase “people should know how to show gratitude,” Lin Aoxue’s face showed some discomfort.
Originally, Lin Fuzhang had strongly insisted that Su Rui stay overnight, but Lin Aoxue had prevented it. If she hadn’t, Su Rui wouldn’t have left the Lin family villa, and tonight’s attack wouldn’t have happened.
At this moment, no one knew if Lin Aoxue was feeling remorseful. She just bit her lip, her brows tightly furrowed.
“I’ll go with you,” Lin Aoxue suddenly said.
Lin Fuzhang looked at her in surprise, then shook his head, flatly refusing: “You stay here, it’s too dangerous outside.”
Even if Lin Aoxue was at fault in this matter, how could Lin Fuzhang, who doted on his daughter, let his precious daughter go out and take risks?
“I’m going with you,” Lin Aoxue insisted.
But just at that moment, consecutive gunshots suddenly rang out!
The gunshots sounded somewhat distant, indicating they weren’t close, but this still made the Lin family’s hearts tighten!
Because the source of the gunshots was in the direction Su Rui had left!
No one could be certain whether it was Su Rui firing the gun or the enemy!
Either way, Su Rui’s situation was very dangerous!
“Let’s go quickly!”
Before Lin Fuzhang could finish speaking, three loud explosions were heard! Even from such a distance, the explosions were deafening!
Explosions!
Everyone’s expressions changed, and Lin Aoxue’s face turned even paler!
At the same time, police sirens also sounded! It seemed the police had gotten involved!
Hearing the explosions and police sirens, Wang Yuan asked conflictedly: “Boss, are we still going?”
Lin Fuzhang pondered for a moment, took several deep breaths, and said: “Perhaps we’re all just overly concerned. Have you all forgotten Su Rui’s skills?”
Remembering how Su Rui had broken through all of Lin family’s armed guards’ defenses in just a few minutes, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
“I still need to go confirm,” Lin Aoxue said coldly. “The police coming has nothing to do with us. Wang Yuan, prepare the car.”
“Alright, I’ll prepare right away.” Wang Yuan didn’t dare to disobey the young miss’s wishes and quickly agreed.
Just at that moment, Lin Aoxue’s phone rang.
She was somewhat surprised because everyone knew her living habits, and no one ever texted her this late.
Most importantly, as the pride of the Bikang Group, for safety reasons, not many people knew Lin Aoxue’s number.
Opening her phone, she saw the sender was a completely unfamiliar number with just a simple line of text.
“Don’t come out, I’m fine.”
Lin Aoxue was stunned. Could Su Rui read minds? How did he know she was preparing to go out and check the situation?
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Lin Aoxue’s expression was a bit off, Lin Fuzhang asked.
“It’s Su Rui, he says he’s fine.”
“Oh?” Lin Fuzhang looked at the phone and immediately felt relieved, his expression also becoming much lighter.
“With his skills, he shouldn’t have any problems. Those people must have been targeting the Lin family. This time, we’re fortunate he helped us fend them off, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Lin Fuzhang thought about the explosion and shook his head with a bitter smile: “If such incidents happen a few more times, I’m afraid even if we gave the entire Bikang to someone, it wouldn’t be enough to repay the debt.”
Lin Aoxue remained expressionless: “I’m going back to sleep.”
After returning to her room, Lin Aoxue looked at Su Rui’s message, thought for a moment, and replied.
The content of the message was four characters—”Self-important!”
Su Rui was walking on a small path when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. Taking it out, he saw it was Lin Aoxue’s message. Seeing those four characters, Su Rui couldn’t help but smile.
He gave a bitter smile, then shook his head helplessly.
Unfortunately, the people had been silenced.
…
Ye Binglan, wearing a police uniform, stood tall with her long legs. Standing in the night, she was like a cold and beautiful scenery.
Looking at the light of the explosion, Ye Binglan’s beautiful eyes were filled with coldness.
This was the second murder case in two days. Yesterday, not far from here at the Fangting River Bridge, two bodies that had been violently crushed by a car were discovered.
Although the identities of the bodies were later confirmed to be fugitives with previous criminal records, Ye Binglan still wasn’t in a good mood because the camera on the Fangting River Bridge happened to be broken, leaving no clues for the entire case.
As the deputy captain of the criminal police team, if she couldn’t solve the case promptly, it would undoubtedly indicate her dereliction of duty.
Ye Binglan was searching for clues in the vicinity with her subordinates tonight when she heard gunshots and hurried over.
Guns being openly used in Ninghai City’s wealthy district? That would be unacceptable! It must be a homicide!
More heart-wrenching than the gunshots was the subsequent explosion, which made Ye Binglan’s heart sink to the bottom. Perhaps the severity of tonight’s incident would far exceed her imagination!
“Set up a cordon, block this section of the road, and immediately request support from headquarters,” Ye Binglan said with a complex expression as she looked at the three twisted and deformed Passats. “In such a short time, the suspect must not have gone far!”
Half an hour later.
“Captain Ye, the count is complete. Twelve people dead, eight of whom likely died from the car explosion, and the other four have gunshot wounds to the head. If I’m not mistaken, they were each killed with a single headshot.”
This was a newly promoted criminal investigator under Ye Binglan named Lu Xiaoming, who was young but meticulous, showing great potential as a forensic expert.
Hearing his words, Ye Binglan’s expression immediately became grave.
Three car explosions, twelve lives lost! Four headshots!
In just two short days, fourteen homicides had occurred in this area! This would definitely attract strong attention from the higher-ups!
“That should be correct. We heard a total of seven gunshots, four people died, and the other three shots must have hit the fuel tanks,” Ye Binglan analyzed. If Su Rui were here, he would certainly be surprised because her analysis was almost identical to the facts!
“Captain Ye, I feel that both yesterday’s and today’s cases have a sense of gang warfare,” Lu Xiaoming expressed his thoughts. If it really was gang warfare, the pressure on their case investigation would be much less, because the deceased were all individuals with criminal records who posed a danger to society, and their deaths would not be mourned.
“Whether it is or not, the severity of this incident has already been determined,” Ye Binglan said calmly. “The perpetrator must be a ruthless habitual offender with excellent marksmanship, possibly a retired military person. Tell everyone to be careful during the search.”
Ye Binglan, at such a young age, was already the deputy captain of the district’s criminal police team. Without backing, it would be absolutely impossible to reach this position.
She had backing, but she had even more ability. Initially, when Ye Binglan, a beautiful female police officer, chose to join the criminal police team, many people were waiting to see her fail. Why would such a beautiful girl with backing not stay in an internal position but instead come to the criminal police team to show off? Even if she was a top graduate from the Chinese Police University’s investigation major, there was no need to risk herself on the front lines, right?
But two years later, no one dared to mock Ye Binglan anymore. She had silenced everyone with her exceptionally high case-solving rate!
Even without her so-called family background, her promotion was well-deserved!
“Check all surveillance footage from nearby intersections. I don’t believe all these cameras would be broken!” Ye Binglan ordered. Looking at the explosion debris and the still unextinguished flames, she knew that another sleepless night awaited her.
Even on foot, Su Rui’s pace was extremely fast. The police would absolutely not be able to catch him, otherwise, the great Sun God would become a laughingstock in the Western underworld.
Su Rui walked back to the hotel in the night, gradually becoming relaxed, as if he had already forgotten what had just happened. Of course, for him, this matter wasn’t worth dwelling on at all.
…
The young master of Tianxiang Group, Song Yili, was sitting in a chair drinking tea, his brows slightly furrowed, occasionally looking at his watch, as if waiting for something.
Just then, his phone rang.
“Finally here? Hehe, tonight, I’ll teach you a lesson,” Song Yili’s smile carried a chilling intent. “Dare to compete with me for a woman, I’ll make you die a very, very miserable death.”
