[Haicheng Nightmare: The Evil Hunt] Chapters 10-12

The next morning at 10:00 AM.
Location: A port in a neighboring country of country C.
A man leaned against the railing, gazing at the distant scenery. Under the clear sky, several seagulls skimmed across the sea, and
ships entering and leaving the port sounded their horns.
The man was tall, with hair standing on end like needles, a clean-shaven face with sharp features, thick
eyebrows slightly raised, and a pair of semi-metal-rimmed glasses perched on his high-bridged nose. His
black leather shoes were polished to a gleaming shine beneath his tailored trousers, and his black trench coat was slightly open, revealing an ice-blue and white
striped shirt underneath, making him appear even more dashing and distinguished.
A gust of sea breeze made his trench coat flutter, and he glanced at his Patek Philippe watch;
the hands pointed exactly to 10:00.
An announcement rang out from the dock: "The Neptune cruise ship bound for Haicheng City, G Province, Country C, is about to depart
. Passengers, please board and have your tickets checked."
The man stood up, gripping the handle of his suitcase, and walked towards the ticket gate.
Just as he was about to hand his ticket to the ticket inspector, a young
woman who looked somewhat travel-worn appeared behind him. She smiled apologetically at the man.
"Excuse me, I have a question,"
the man politely stepped aside.
"Can I buy a ticket to Haicheng City on board? Going to the ticket office now is too far,
and with the queues, I'm afraid I'll miss it." "I'm sorry,
miss, buying a ticket on the spot is not allowed on board."
"Thank you, it seems I'll have to go to the ticket office." The woman prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, miss, you shouldn't go. As far as I know, tickets for this ship are sold out,"
the ticket inspector kindly reminded her.
"Oh? So unlucky? What should I do?!" The woman stamped her foot, seemingly anxious.
"I have an extra ticket here. May this young lady board with me?" The man behind her
pulled out another ticket from his pocket and waved it at the ticket inspector.
"Of course, if you'd like, sir," the ticket inspector replied politely.
"Thank you so much! How much?" The young woman asked with delight and gratitude.
"Let's go up first. There are quite a few people waiting to have their tickets checked."
"Oh..."
After boarding, the man noticed the woman was carrying a handbag and a rather heavy suitcase. He
said, "We're in first class on the third deck. It's still a distance. Would you like me to help you with your luggage?"
The woman, surprised that the man offered to help her, brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and smiled, saying,
"You've already given me one of your tickets. I can't possibly ask you to help me with my luggage. It's alright, we'll be there soon."
"A very lovely girl," the man thought to himself.
First class was located on the top deck of the cruise ship, with a central corridor and cabins on either side.
Besides excellent sea views, the cabins included sofas, coffee tables, beds, and a private
bathroom.
A few "toots" of the ship's horn sounded, the boarding stairs were retracted, and the cruise ship began to slowly depart.
"Here? Is it just the two of us here?" The woman pointed to the berths; there were four bunk beds in the cabin
.
"Before I met you, I was alone," the man said, taking out a glasses cloth and gently wiping his lenses.
"By the way, how much was the ticket? I'll give it to you." The woman opened her backpack.
The man smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I just prefer a quieter environment. You're a girl,
you shouldn't disturb me."
"Oh? Thank you so much!" Seeing his sincerity, the woman didn't refuse. She placed her suitcase
on the bed, stacked her handbag on top, and then dozed off.
This young woman was Su Hong, an investigator with the Criminal Investigation Team of Haicheng City Public Security Bureau in G Province, Country C. Recently
, after receiving instructions from her superiors, she used the alias Su Yanni and, together with her partner Xiao Xu, infiltrated Ji Laosi's hideout in Sancha Town.
Yesterday, during a meticulously planned raid on Sancha Town by police forces from a neighboring country, although Ji
Laosi was not captured alive, his death was confirmed. The remaining
drugs in the burned-out drug warehouse served as evidence, confirming that the area was indeed Ji Laosi
's drug trafficking ring's processing and distribution point. Combined with the previous dismantling of the entire criminal chain within Country C, this signified the demise of Ji Laosi's group.
Su Hong had successfully completed her mission. She returned to China before her partner Xiao Xu to report to her superiors
.
She had also received intelligence that Ji Laosi's cousin, Ge Laodan, was still at large, so another purpose of her return
was to apprehend Ge Laodan.
Su Hong was exhausted these past few days. From last night's investigation and arrest to the follow-up work, plus catching this morning's
ship back home, she rushed to the dock after finishing her work, having not slept a wink all night. She
fell asleep sitting on her bed, her handbag as a pillow.
Who would have thought that the man sitting on the sofa was none other than "Old Knife" Brad, the self-proclaimed leader of the Dragon Clan? Tang?
He had received orders to go to Country C under the alias Tang Jianfeng to take over the assets secretly left behind by Ji Laosi. After developing the industry, he would
launder the money through the organization's multiple underground banks in Country C to export it to overseas organizations.
Tang Jianfeng looked at the girl opposite him with great interest.
The girl was wearing a black casual suit, with a dark blue shirt underneath.
The buttons on the shirt were neatly fastened all the way to the collar. Underneath the trousers of the same color as the shirt were round-toed
black square-heeled leather shoes, and a section of light gray stockings was visible on her ankles.
The girl's skin was slightly dark, and a small black mole between her eyebrows, contrasting with her healthy, wheat-colored skin, made her
resemble a dazzling black pearl on a beach. Perhaps because she was a little hot from the journey, the girl was gently
fanning herself with her fingers, pinching the collar of her shirt. As her movements slowed, her chest rose and
fell with her even breathing.
"Looks like she's tired. If she's hot, why doesn't she unbutton a couple of buttons? This girl is really conservative," Tang Jianfeng
thought to himself.
After a while, Tang Jianfeng saw sweat beading on the girl's forehead, sticking her hair to her temples, and then he saw...
The girl coughed lightly, her clothes stained with a few muddy stains.
"Cough!"
"Hmm?" Su Hong woke up and rubbed her eyes.
Although it was just a casual cough, Tang Jianfeng could keenly sense the girl's alert gaze.
"I see you're sweating. You might catch a cold if you keep going like this," Tang Jianfeng said, pointing to the slightly open cabin
window.
"Ah, I am sweating, thanks for reminding me," the girl said, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.
"Your hair is all matted together, and you have some muddy stains on your clothes. I think you should take a shower
. There's a shower in the bathroom, and towels are on the rack."
Su Hong turned her braid from the back of her head to the front and noticed that her hair was covered with a layer of dust, grayish in color, and without any
shine. There were also several mud stains on her clothes, all left from last night's fight. Because of the sweat,
her shirt stuck to her body with the slightest movement, making her feel damp and sweaty. All these details had been overlooked in her previous busyness
, and Su Hong realized that her current appearance was indeed terrible.
Sensing the girl's embarrassment, Tang Jianfeng smoothed things over, saying, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll go out first. You
can lock the door from the inside, and I'll be back in twenty minutes, okay?"
"Okay," Su Hong said with a smile.
After Tang Jianfeng left, Su Hong quickly took off her clothes and washed up, then used a disposable toothbrush to
clean the mud stains off her clothes. She felt bad keeping him waiting.
Nearly half an hour passed before Tang Jianfeng knocked on the door and returned.
"Hmm, you look much more energetic than before,"
Su Hong didn't reply, but changed the subject, asking, "Why are you only coming back now?"
"Girls always need a little more time to wash up," Tang Jianfeng said with a smile.
A blush crept onto Su Hong's cheeks. "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
"Tang Jianfeng. Tang as in the Tang Dynasty, Jian as in sword, Feng as in mountain peak."
"A rather imposing name. What brings you to Haicheng?"
"I'm a businessman, going to Haicheng to invest and discuss business."
"I can tell you're a big boss. Such a nice cabin, anyone else wouldn't be willing to give up their ticket for nothing."
"You're quite the joker, beautiful lady," Tang Jianfeng said with a smile, then added, "I haven't yet asked your name, beautiful lady?"
"Su Yanni, I'm from Haicheng. I'm back in China to give a work report..."
The two chatted for a while longer, then Tang Jianfeng glanced at his watch and said, "It's noon. Shall I treat you to
lunch at the restaurant, beautiful lady?"
"How can I let you spend so much?"
"It's just a simple meal, let's go."
The cruise ship's restaurant was on the second floor. As the two descended the stairs, two pairs of sinister eyes were watching them.
It turned out to be the seductive woman and her henchman. The seductive woman was from country C. After escaping the police's encirclement last night,
the henchman immediately sought refuge with her. They couldn't stay in the local area any longer, so they quickly obtained
two tickets to country C and boarded the Sea Emperor.
The seductive woman and her henchman had already put on makeup before boarding. The seductive woman's long, wavy hair was tied up,
covered with a scarf, and knotted at the nape of her neck; she also wore sunglasses. The henchman wore a
wig and a mustache.
The two followed Tang Jianfeng and Su Hong into the restaurant.
Soft, light music was playing in the cruise ship's restaurant. The neatly arranged tables were covered with white tablecloths.
To cater to tourists from different countries, in addition to the utensils and chopsticks required by country C, knives, forks, and spoons were also provided
. The restaurant was bustling with people; it was lunchtime, and many travelers were dining. Waiters
were carrying plates laden with various dishes, moving about the restaurant.
The two chose an empty table and sat down.
"We've come at the perfect time; there probably wouldn't be any seats if we came any later," Su Hong said, looking around.
"What would you like to eat?"
"I don't really know much about food, just the same as you."
Tang Jianfeng snapped his fingers, calling a waiter over. He ordered steak, seafood, sandwiches, and, to cater to Su
Hong's tastes, also ordered juice. Finally, he told the waiter to order double portions.
"Did you see clearly, boss?" the henchman whispered.
The foxy woman had always believed that the fire at the drug warehouse last night was a trap set by the woman she had fought with—Su Hong
. She thought Su Hong must have arranged it beforehand, hiding outside, worried that she and her two henchmen would find out if they went in, and that's why she
rushed in to fight her. Although she didn't know the other woman's identity, she was confident she could find out. Thinking
of the lingering pain in her ankle from the attack the previous night, and the fact that the fire had destroyed all her drugs, the vixen was
consumed by rage. She muttered bitterly, "It's her! You bitch, what a twisted fate!"
"Who's that guy? I didn't think I knew him before we boarded the ship, looks like we met later," the henchman asked ,
puzzled.
"Never mind him, it's hard to take them out together. When they're alone, take them both out separately!"
"Understood!" A fierce glint flashed in the henchman's eyes.
After taking another bite of her sandwich and drinking some juice, Su Hong felt full and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"How's the food? Is it to your liking?" Tang Jianfeng asked.
"Very good, thank you, let's go."
The two got up and left their seats.
The vixen winked at the henchman, who stood up and followed her out.
As they reached the corner of the escalator on the second floor, Tang Jianfeng pointed to a cabin on one side and said to Su Hong, "I'm going to the restroom .
You can go back first."
"Okay, see you later," Su Hong said, then went up the escalator to the third floor.
Seeing Su Hong close the cabin door, the seductive woman peeked out from a corner and peered out from the third-floor escalator
. She saw the henchman at the second-floor restroom door, and the two exchanged a glance and a nod.
The silent corridor was deserted.
Tang Jianfeng turned on the sink faucet, washed his hands, took a few sheets of paper from the tissue box,
dried his hands, and threw them into the nearby trash can.
Just as he stepped out of the restroom, Tang Jianfeng was met with a gun barrel pointed directly at his chest.
"Don't move! Make a sound or I'll shoot you dead!" the henchman said menacingly, holding a pistol.
"You're going to die soon!" Tang Jianfeng said, each word distinct, a murderous glint flashing in his deep eyes!
"I'll send you on your way first... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, the henchman felt a three-inch-long blade protruding from his chest, followed by
a scream. A sharp samurai sword pierced through his chest from behind, leaving him with a chilling
wound.
The vixen witnessed all of this. The man hadn't moved, but the henchman was dead. Shocked and worried about
being exposed,
the vixen quickly withdrew her head. A dark figure stood behind the henchman, nodding to Tang Jianfeng.
Tang Jianfeng stepped over the henchman's corpse and went up to the third floor, feigning panic as he pushed open his hatch.
Su Hong, who had taken off her shoes and was lying on the bed reading, saw Tang Jianfeng push open the door in a panic and asked, "What's
wrong?"
"Someone's trying to kill me!" Tang Jianfeng gasped for breath, then added, "The man has a handgun!"
"What? I'll go see!" Su Hong got out of bed, put on her shoes, unzipped her bag, took out a handgun,
and cocked it.
"How come you have a gun?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer. I'll go out and check." Su Hong opened the hatch and slipped out, then closed it
behind her.
Tang Jianfeng quickly went to Su Hong's bag, rummaged through it, and found a police ID. He opened it and saw
"Su Hong, Criminal Investigation Team, Haicheng Public Security Bureau." He memorized it.
"Where is she?"
"She was just here, look!" Tang Jianfeng pointed to several pools of blood on the ground.
Su Hong bent down, dipped her fingertip in the blood, rubbed it a few times, and smelled it. Her brows furrowed deeply
.
"Bloodstains. It seems someone is injured here. The situation is unclear. I suggest we go back; it's not safe here,
"
Su Hong said.
"Okay!..."
They arrived at Haicheng City's dock without incident and disembarked together.
"Mr. Tang, thank you for your hospitality along the way. If the incident about someone trying to attack you is bothering you
, I can accompany you to the nearby police station to make a statement," Su Hong said.
Tang Jianfeng shook his head: "No need. Luckily, I wasn't harmed. I'm new here; it's
better to avoid trouble."
"Alright then..."
The two chatted as they walked forward. Soon, a black sedan pulled up beside them and honked its horn.
"They're here to pick me up, Officer Su. Would you like a ride?"
"Thank you, but no need. Someone will come to pick me up soon."
"It's nice to meet you." "
Likewise."
"Haicheng City isn't very big. We'll meet again sometime," Tang Jianfeng said.
"Okay, goodbye," Su Hong waved.
Tang Jianfeng got into the car and was about to drive away when a blue Mazda sedan pulled up behind him.
"Sister Su!"
A clear female voice reached Tang Jianfeng's ears. He couldn't help but look out through the tinted black window.
The window of the blue Mazda had been rolled down, and a pretty girl in a navy blue police uniform was calling Su Hong's name
.
"Sister Su, I'm here!"
"Ruobing?... "
The girl had short, jet-black hair, the carefully trimmed ends just covering her neck. On her delicate oval face
were long, willow-leaf eyebrows, long, slightly curled eyelashes, and almond-shaped eyes with slightly upturned corners, highlighting her
delicate double eyelids. Her black pupils were as clear as flowing water, and below her high, straight nose were red, moist lips.
The girl's bright, sunny appearance was instantly imprinted in Tang Jianfeng's mind. He patted the driver's seat: "Drive
."
The car drove out of the dock and turned onto the coastal road. Tang Jianfeng took off his glasses, folded them up, and put them in his jacket pocket.
"How's everything on the ship, Spirit Dog? No, from this moment on I should call you Zhou Cheng."
"I threw you into the sea to feed the fish and shrimp long ago, but I still think 'Spirit Dog' suits me better."
"Where's Li Bei?"
"I've contacted her. Qiangwei will arrive tonight."
"Get her some food when she gets back..."
After putting the luggage in the trunk and starting the car, the girl made a face.
"Sister Su, I've missed you so much!"
"Oh, when did you become so sweet-talking?"
"Hey, by the way, who was that person in that car just now? I didn't see clearly."
"From the same cabin on the ship."
"No wonder you were so secretive, when did you hook up with a rich guy? That car was a Mercedes S600."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Ruobing!" Su Hong gently poked the girl's forehead.
The girl's full name was Leng Ruobing. She and Su Hong were both investigators in the Haicheng City Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team. They had known each other since university
and were very close, like sisters.
"Where are we going?"
"Where else would we go? Home, of course. My mom made a delicious meal and is waiting for us."
"Huh? Weren't we supposed to go back to the bureau to report on our work?"
"No, the boss has an emergency meeting, and tomorrow is Sunday, so you're going on a blind date with me. We'll talk about the report
on Monday."
"You brat, why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder you took the time to pick me up..."
The clock had already struck eight o'clock. In a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Haicheng City,
Tang Jianfeng, dressed casually, was gazing at the starry night sky from the window. The villa was brightly lit, as if specially
lit for those embarking on their journey home.
The sound of the door opening and closing echoed.
"You're back?" Tang Jianfeng said casually, then slowly turned around.
Hearing that familiar voice, and with her beloved right in front of her, Li Bei casually threw her backpack on the ground and rushed over
to throw herself into Tang Jianfeng's arms.
Feeling the slight trembling of the woman's body in his arms, Tang Jianfeng raised his hand and gently wiped away a tear from the corner of Li Bei's eye.
"A qualified assassin knows how to hide their emotions and desires, and even if they have feelings, they shouldn't let
them show on their face. You've already ruined your light makeup."
"I know, I can do it elsewhere, but I can't control myself here with you." Li Bei nestled in Tang Jianfeng's arms
like a docile kitten.
"Are you hungry? We're new here and didn't know our way around, so we went to several places before buying this. Have something to eat first,
then we can go out for a walk tonight and see what else we can get to eat."
"You haven't changed at all, still so thoughtful." Li Bei took Tang Jianfeng's hand and led him to the dining table.
The chestnut-colored solid wood table was set with exquisite tableware. Several plates held golden croissants,
fruit and vegetable salad, sliced beef, and a plate of fried scorpions in the center. An opened bottle of red wine and two
clear stemmed glasses were placed to the side.
Li Bei picked up the tail of a scorpion and put it in her mouth, making a crisp "clucking" sound as she gently chewed
.
"I tasted that familiar flavor," Li Bei said with a smile.
Li Bei, born with striking red hair, was treated like a monster and cruelly tormented by the other trainees when she first entered the training camp
. A boy, strong and fierce like a saber-toothed tiger, stood up and beat them to the ground. When
the disciplinary instructor learned of this, he tied the boy to a bench and whipped his
feet raw with a leather whip wrapped with wire. Li Bei stole ointment from the infirmary, risking discovery, and climbed over the barbed wire fence at night to reach
the boy's barracks. Sobbing, she evenly applied the ointment to his wounds.
Later, the two were paired and sent to a deserted island for survival training. Li Bei unfortunately stepped on a landmine, and in the critical
moment, the boy used a dagger to insert into the landmine's trigger and then placed a stone on top to defuse the danger. In
a situation where food was scarce, the boy caught scorpions for the weak and sickly Li Bei. From that moment on, a strange feeling
blossomed in Li Bei's heart, and she vowed never to hold the boy back again.
Unbeknownst to her, Li Bei developed a habit of eating scorpions, and with her relentless training, she grew increasingly stronger.
Her body, too, was slowly cooling, like a block of ice at a constant temperature throughout the year.
"You're still wearing that? It's not expensive." Tang Jianfeng noticed the bracelet on Li Bei's wrist.
"Of course, from the moment you put it on me, it captured my heart."
"Want to go for a walk? To see the night view of this city where we'll be living from now on." Tang Jianfeng put down his
wine glass.
"Okay, I'll go change."
"The biggest room on the second floor is yours."
"No, it's ours!" Li Bei smiled and went upstairs.
"Wait a minute." Li Bei, having changed, stopped Tang Jianfeng, who was about to start the car.
"Hmm?"
"I'll drive. From today onwards, you're the boss, and I'm your personal assistant."
"Haha, okay."
Around 10 PM, the car entered the city. Compared to the somewhat deserted suburbs, the wide roadsides in the city gradually
became lively; the night market of Haicheng City had begun.
The two chose a crowded street-side food stall and sat down. Several
staff members were busy turning various kinds of grilled food over charcoal on a long grill outside. There were lamb skewers, beef skewers, squid, grilled
bananas, prawns, and half-ripe, golden-brown oysters.
They ordered some skewers, a few bottles of beer, and some cold dishes, and sat down to eat and chat.
"What's the next plan?" Tang Jianfeng asked.
"Ge Laodan, hiding in Haicheng City, must die. After we get rid of him, I'll cooperate with you and the Spirit Dog," Li Bei replied.
"Do I need to get involved?"
"Killing someone like him would only dirty your hands." "
There are other members of the organization operating in Haicheng City, but we're still short-handed. While the mission is underway,
we need to develop some reliable people."
"Understood, leave it to me."
"Things went smoothly so far, right?" Tang Jianfeng asked.
Li Bei: "Yes, I transferred all of Ji Laosi's overseas deposits to your account, and then took all his
cash and jewelry. You can use it to take over and develop the industries here."
"The organization has already given another sum of money. I will have the spirit dog store what you mentioned in a safe
account for you."
"Why are we still distinguishing between you and me..."
Turning the wine glass in his hand, Tang Jianfeng asked, "What are your plans after completing these tasks?"
Li Bei put down a skewer she had finished eating, rested her chin on her hand, and imagined a beautiful scene in her mind. She slowly
said, "There is a house facing the sea. I will accompany you to watch the sunrise and sunset every day and live a peaceful life."
Tang Jianfeng saw that Li Bei's gaze was gradually becoming hazy as she looked at him, so he said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I want you to completely possess my body, tonight."
"Hmm?"
"I want to make love." Li Bei's voice was very soft.
Chapter Eleven: Blind Date
Early morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, promising a bright and sunny day, the warm sunlight streamed through the curtains
into a bedroom. The room was furnished in a modern, minimalist style befitting a young person.
A laptop was still on the desk, and neatly arranged books lined a bookshelf in the corner. Framed
photos of policewomen in uniforms, looking smart and capable, hung on the windowsill and wall. Several adorable plush toys sat on the bedside table, and a beautiful woman
slept soundly in bed. The thin blanket had slipped down, revealing the smooth
skin of her legs, which shone with a girlish glow. Her high breasts, beneath her white pajamas, rose and fell with her even breathing.
The alarm clock on the bedside table rang. Leng Ruobing turned over, rubbed her sleepy eyes,
and yawned.
"Luckily I set an alarm, otherwise I definitely would have overslept."
After washing up and having a simple breakfast, Leng Ruobing wore a dark blue wool sweater and a black
thin woolen skirt. Considering the slight chill outside, she also wore flesh-colored pantyhose.
She had arranged to meet Su Hong at the matchmaking event at Wofoshan at 9 a.m. this morning. She
had stayed up late at her mother's house last night, and to avoid disturbing her parents' rest, Leng Ruobing wanted Su Hong to
stay overnight at her rented apartment so they could continue chatting and then go to the matchmaking event together the next morning. However, Su Hong
insisted on going back to her own place to pack her things. Unable to persuade Su Hong otherwise, Leng Ruobing had no choice but to let Su Hong drive her car.
The two had agreed to meet at a matchmaking event at Wofoshan this morning.
As Leng Ruobing walked to the bus stop, she glanced at her watch; the hands pointed to 8:30. "Sunday.
Quite a few people out and about. Looks like people who've had a busy week are choosing to enjoy their holiday early."
"Bus number 23 is here!" someone shouted from the platform.
Leng Ruobing glanced to the side; a bus was slowly pulling into the station.
Since it wasn't far from the starting point, Leng Ruobing found plenty of empty seats after boarding, so she chose a window
seat. Bus number 23 passed through a commercial area. The weather was warming up, and through the window, Leng Ruobing saw
seasonal clothing hanging in the shop windows. She thought she could drive there with Su Hong later to
check if her favorite brands had any new arrivals.
She looked out the window, one hand supporting her chin, thinking about recent cases. Before she knew it,
the bus had stopped at several stops, and the carriage was gradually becoming crowded.
"The train is starting, please hold on tight..."
The announcement interrupted Leng Ruobing's thoughts. She turned around and saw an
elderly man with gray hair standing next to her. He was holding onto the handrail with one hand and carrying a large bag of vegetables in the other,
looking particularly strained in the swaying carriage.
Touching the old man's arm, Leng Ruobing said, "Sir, please sit here, standing is too tiring."
"Young lady, you should sit."
"Please sit, I only have two or three stops left." With that, Leng Ruobing stood up and offered her seat to the old man
.
"Thank you, young lady."
Leng Ruobing turned back and smiled, then moved towards the back door of the carriage.
The carriage was crowded, and with the sudden turns, Leng Ruobing, unsteady on her feet, could only
move slowly towards the rear of the carriage using the handrails on the ceiling. As she approached the rear door, she noticed an arm
discreetly reaching for a middle-aged woman's handbag from her side, slowly unzipping it.
"Pickpocket!" her professional instincts kicked in.
Leng Ruobing shifted her body to the side and saw that the outstretched arm belonged to a
young man with a pointed chin and a sleazy appearance. Driven by instinct, Leng Ruobing wanted to grab his wrist, twist it behind his back,
and handcuff him.
However, a closer look at the pickpocket out of the corner of her eye revealed
a hard protrusion visible under the inside of his open coat.
"A dagger?! The pickpocket is carrying a weapon!" With so many people in the carriage, if she couldn't subdue the assailant quickly,
the weapon he was carrying could endanger the safety of other passengers. Moreover, having gone out casually on a holiday
without handcuffs or other equipment, various possibilities flashed through Leng Ruobing's mind, and she immediately rejected
her previous plan.
At that moment, the pickpocket's arm was already inside the middle-aged woman's handbag, slowly rummaging through it, seemingly
searching for his wallet.
"I have to stop him," Leng Ruobing thought to herself.
Just then, a car overtook the bus from the left, quickly changing lanes in front of it, and the driver
slammed on the brakes.
The inertia caused the passengers to lose their balance, swaying from side to side. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leng Ruobing devised a plan, suddenly
bumping into the middle-aged woman. The combined force of the two of them slammed the pickpocket's hand against the pillar by the bus door
.
"Auntie, I'm sorry!" Leng Ruobing steadied herself and feigned embarrassment as she apologized to the middle-aged woman.
"It's alright, young lady, it's not your fault, the driver braked too suddenly."
"How can you drive like that?! You almost fell!" the middle-aged woman began to yell at the driver.
Leng Ruobing looked down slightly, amused, at the pickpocket wincing in pain.
"Sister, you squeezed my hand just now, let's switch." With that, the pickpocket emerged from behind the middle-aged woman
, moving a few steps to stand behind Leng Ruobing.
The next stop was the final stop, Wofoshan. "The pickpocket should be cured of his crime now," Leng Ruobing
thought, gripping the handrail with one hand and carrying her handbag with the other.
Suddenly, Leng Ruobing felt a hand lift her woolen skirt, then, through her stockings
, grope her thigh in a lewd manner. As a policewoman, Leng Ruobing had never been violated before, and
a wave of disgust washed over her.
She gripped her handbag and the handrail with one hand, and with the other, slapped away the groping hand.
But the pickpocket didn't repent; he then lifted Leng Ruobing's skirt again, continuing to grope her thigh
, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Leng Ruobing glared at the man and hissed, "Get lost!"
The pickpocket saw anger and authority in Leng Ruobing's sharp gaze. That righteous look seemed familiar
, making him, a petty thief, tremble with fear. Seeing such a beautiful girl ruin his plans, he had intended to
flirt with her to make her shy and back down, but she wouldn't have given in, daring to glare back. Feeling somewhat embarrassed,
he pulled his hand back.
"Don't cause trouble, little girl, or you'll regret it!" the pickpocket muttered menacingly. The girl opposite him was
blushing slightly. The pickpocket could tell that although her gaze was sharp, she was still a young girl and was
shy. To save face and humiliate her further, the pickpocket uttered the same harsh words.
"The final stop, Wofoshan, has arrived. Passengers, please take your luggage and exit through the rear door..."
the announcement for the final stop sounded inside the bus.
"Get off, or I'll make you pay!" Facing the pickpocket's threat, Leng Ruobing remained unfazed.
"Attending a matchmaking event, huh? Hehe, I'll find a place to pickpocket you!" The pickpocket uttered this threat as the bus arrived at the station. He
quickly overtook several people and moved to the back door. As the back door opened, he darted out with a "whoosh."
When Leng Ruobing got off the bus and looked around, the pickpocket was nowhere to be seen. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and
walked towards the main gate of Wofoshan.
The matchmaking event at Wofoshan was
an activity organized to address the needs of many single men and women facing increasingly busy work schedules. The event had been held for several years, bringing strangers closer together and receiving high praise from the start.
Early in the morning, the parking lot in front of the scenic area was full of cars, and colorful flags and balloons were fluttering inside.
Single men and women in Haicheng, especially white-collar workers, would use this day off to write their conditions,
criteria for choosing a partner, and personal information on display boards, waiting for their destined one.
Leng Ruobing didn't want to come, but her parents felt that she was getting on in years and that her work as a criminal police officer often involved overtime,
so they were afraid of wasting her precious youth and insisted that she participate in this event. If she met a suitable man, she could first
become friends and then slowly develop a relationship. Leng Ruobing had no choice but to obey.
Leng Ruobing felt her phone ringing in her pocket. "Sister Su, where are you? I'm already here."
"Look to the right, I'm under the tree."
Leng Ruobing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Hong, dressed in casual clothes, waving at her.
"You just got here? Lazy cat, did you oversleep again?" Su Hong said unhappily.
"How could I? I encountered a pickpocket on the bus, a disgusting groper!" Leng Ruobing said angrily.
"Huh? You got bullied? Where is he?" Su Hong looked around.
"He squeezed to the front and got off the bus first, and then I couldn't find him after I got off!"
"Never mind, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I see him. How dare he take advantage of my sister, humph!"
The two walked into the scenic area. As they strolled through the woods leading to the registration area, several
parents of the boys saw the two graceful girls and approached them, introducing their children to them
.
The two felt a little embarrassed, and Leng Ruobing even blushed deeply. She said to Su Hong, "My
dear Su-jie, last night I was trying to persuade my parents not to come, but you kept encouraging them. Now you know what happened!
Those parents came up and immediately asked if we were looking for a partner, or they introduced their
children without any explanation, and even asked if we felt we were a good match. If we were, they'd meet. It's so direct!"
"Doesn't that just prove you're charming? Okay, stop complaining, let's go check out the registration area." Su Hong took
Leng Ruobing's hand and walked towards the registration area.
"So many people, it's really lively!"
The registration area was outdoors, with several large parasols under which were set up square tables and benches.
After checking the applicants' ID cards, the staff would give them display boards to fill out with their marriage information. After filling it out, the staff
would verify it against the applicant's ID card. Once approved, the information would be clipped to red ropes hanging between the trees
.
"Hurry up and get a display board, there are a lot of people and you'll have to wait in line," Su Hong reminded Leng Ruobing, who was looking around.
"No rush, let's look first."
The display boards filled with marriage advertisements were divided into two areas by a path through the woods. The blue boards on the left were for men
seeking marriage, and the red boards on the right were for women seeking marriage.
After walking around the area a few times, the two noticed that there were significantly more women's display boards than men's. Many men's
display boards already had sticky notes with women's names on them.
"Looks like there are more women than men!" Leng Ruobing said.
"Then hurry up and get a display board, or all the good ones will be taken and you won't get a turn."
"Are you that eager to sell me off? Be careful, after I get a boyfriend, you won't have anyone to bring you lunch when you work overtime,
let's see what you do then, hmph!"
Urged by Su Hong, Leng Ruobing got a display board and started filling out her marriage advertisement. Su Hong reminded her from the side
that her personal profile should be more detailed, so that the other party would think she was more sincere.
"Name: Leng Ruobing, Gender: Female, Height: 172cm, Weight: 110kg, Occupation: Police Officer, Graduated from:
Haicheng City Police Academy, Personality: Well-rounded, intelligent and graceful, gentle and generous, Hobbies and Specialties: Enjoys fitness
and sports, has a habit of running, and is a good cook, able to prepare a
delicious meal with available ingredients... *****qq…"
"I just saw a few guys who seemed pretty good. Should I take a picture of their ***** and
add them on QQ to chat?" Su Hong pointed to her phone.
"No, they're not classmates or colleagues. We're complete strangers.
How can a girl take the initiative in something like this?" Leng Ruobing said.
"Hmm? Many good-looking guys in college pursued you, why did you reject them all? And
why were you so cold?" Su Hong asked.
"At the time, I felt that the nature of the job I would be doing in the future meant I couldn't take care of my family as much as
people in other industries, so I hoped to find a partner who wasn't in the system.
The prerequisite was that the other person had a stable job, so I could feel more at ease." Leng Ruobing covered her mouth slightly,
then added, "I didn't mean you and Captain Wang, Sister Su, don't be angry."
Su Hong smiled and playfully pinched Leng Ruobing's nose, saying, "Little girl, you think a lot, but it makes a lot of sense
.
Let's go look around somewhere else, grab a bite, and come back this afternoon to check the notes on your display board.
Maybe someone will add you on QQ to chat this afternoon."
The two found a place to eat near the scenic area, then wandered around for a bit before starting to
walk back along a small path.
"Sister Su, the groper from this morning!" Following Leng Ruobing's finger, Su Hong saw a man with a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance behind some trees by the path
, brandishing a switchblade at a young man, seemingly attempting to
rob him. Leng Ruobing was certain he was the pickpocket she'd encountered on the bus that morning.
"Let's go!" The two rushed over.
"Get your wallet out, quick, don't dawdle!" the pickpocket yelled at the man opposite.
The young man, clearly unaccustomed to such situations, stood frozen, his face pale, upon seeing the pickpocket's menacing glare
.
"Stop!" The two reached the pickpocket.
"Hey? Little chick, it's you again? Did I grope you on the bus? And you brought one with you..."
"Watch your mouth!" Leng Ruobing snapped.
"So what if I say it? What can you do to me?" the pickpocket said,
brandishing his switchblade in front of Leng Ruobing.
Seizing the opportunity, Leng Ruobing grabbed the man's wrist with her left hand, braced her right hand on his shoulder, and leaned slightly forward...
With a quick step forward, Su Hong used her right foot to deflect the pickpocket's legs, then twisted her waist and executed a clean side throw, slamming the pickpocket to the
ground.
Su Hong kicked away the pickpocket's switchblade and twisted his arm behind his back.
"Behave yourself, we're from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team!" Su Hong shouted.
Leng Ruobing took out her phone and dialed 110, the command center's duty phone. A police car arrived shortly after,
and three officers got out and shoved the pickpocket into the car. The officers recognized Su Hong and, upon learning they were there for a matchmaking event and
had apprehended a habitual offender, praised Su Hong and Leng Ruobing's skills before leaving.
"Here's your wallet," Leng Ruobing said, handing the wallet she had taken from the pickpocket's pocket back to the young man.
"Are you police officers, or here for a matchmaking event? Judging from what you did just now
, I thought you were in plainclothes making an arrest. Thank you, my name is Wang Mingxuan," the young man said, his expression softening considerably
.
The two exchanged a smile. Leng Ruobing said to Wang Mingxuan, "Let's exchange phone numbers. Police officers will be
calling you to take a statement later; it's a procedure the police department needs to follow."
"..."
That evening, Su Hong dialed Leng Ruobing's number.
"Ruobing, have you met anyone suitable to date?"
"I was just about to call you. This event is unreliable. Quite a few people added me as a friend, but I didn't set
a password for my photo album. Someone even asked me if I like wearing stockings. Are all guys these days so lecherous?
I was so angry I immediately blocked them!" Leng Ruobing said irritably.
"There are all kinds of people. They're probably just talking online; they might not be like that in person. Let's
talk some more..."
After hanging up, she turned off her computer in frustration and lay down on the bed. Just then, the phone rang again. Leng
Ruobing picked it up and saw it was the man named Wang Mingxuan from that afternoon calling.
Back home, Wang Mingxuan couldn't sleep, thinking about the slightly thrilling scene that afternoon. He had gone to a matchmaking
event, but unexpectedly, this had happened halfway there. Tossing and turning, he realized
the policewoman who had asked for his phone number must be single; otherwise, why would she go to a matchmaking event? He calmed himself and thought carefully. The policewoman
was tall, with delicate features, and very beautiful. If it weren't for her swift and agile movements, he might have mistaken her
for a flight attendant or a model. How wonderful it would be if this girl were his girlfriend! Didn't he have her phone number
? Why not give it a try? With this thought, Wang Mingxuan suppressed his excitement and dialed Leng Ruobing's
number.
Wang Mingxuan: "Hello, is this Leng Ruobing?"
"Wang Mingxuan?"
"Yes, it's me. Would you like to have dinner with me sometime?"
"..."
Chapter Twelve: Black Panther Bar
Haicheng City is surrounded by mountains to the west and south, and borders the sea to the north. Only the east side is relatively flat. Several railways
traverse the eastern part of Haicheng City, and its geographical advantage facilitates land transportation. At that time, most factories
chose to build their facilities here, attracting many jobs and gradually becoming Haicheng City's industrial zone.
With the development of emerging industries and the decline of traditional industries, the prosperity of the CBD in the city center gradually replaced
the hustle and bustle of the industrial zone. Many factories have already closed down due to the economic downturn, and the remaining ones are
struggling to survive. From the blank faces of the workers going to and from work, one can see that this place is like a forgotten piece of land
, lacking vitality.
The Black Panther Bar is nestled in a corner of the industrial area. This kind of
place, which should be catering to white-collar workers in the business district, is incongruously located here. Its dozen or so tables are deserted all day long, with hardly any customers
.
Recently, in the afternoons, the sound of a motorcycle engine growling closer can be heard, and
a striking figure in a soft black leather jacket and polarized sunglasses can be seen near the window. No one knows
where she comes from, nor where she's going. Like a passerby, she orders a few drinks each time, then
while away the time playing on her phone using the bar's Wi-Fi until late at night.
This is Li Bei. She received information from her organization that Ji Lao Si's brother, Ge Lao Dan, had slipped through the net during a drug bust in Country C.
Besides the organization, the police in Country C are also searching for him. He's now
hiding like a frightened bird, possibly hiding near the Black Panther Bar in the eastern region. Due to the uncertainty of the information,
Li Bei has been waiting here for several days, but her prey hasn't appeared.
A faint blush had recently crept onto Li Bei's face, like a rose blooming after being carefully tended by a gardener
.
The reason stemmed from her first experience with love, the passionate
embrace she shared with Tang Jianfeng the night they reunited.
On the soft bed, Li Bei had given her body completely to the man she trusted.
From the slight pain of her first encounter to the subsequent calm and receptiveness, the intoxicating,
ecstatic pleasure was unforgettable. Suddenly
, a screeching sound of brakes rang out. Li Bei turned to look out the window. Three or four cars had stopped in front of the billiard hall across the street
. A dozen men wielding machetes and clubs got out and rushed into the billiard hall like a whirlwind, followed by
shouts and screams of destruction. The glass door of the billiard hall was smashed with clubs. Through the broken door, Li Bei could see
that several arcade machines against the wall were also smashed to pieces.
A group of men wielding machetes and clubs were engaged in a chaotic brawl with seven or eight teenagers who were hastily fighting back with chairs or pool cues.
Among the fighting group, the adult men who had arrived by car were clearly prepared; they got out of their cars, grabbed weapons
, and headed straight for their target, appearing extremely experienced. After resisting for a while following the sudden attack
, the teenagers began to scatter. Li Bei's gaze was drawn to a slightly thin teenager who held a sharp knife. He showed
no sign of retreating; instead, he fought with increasing ferocity. After dodging several clubs and machetes aimed at him, he stabbed
and wounded several of his opponents before being struck on the head by a club and falling to the ground.
The teenager was clearly stunned by the blow; he rolled on the ground a few times before trying to get up, only to be knocked down again
. Li Bei noticed the boy's eyes, a cold and desperate gaze filled with defiance, like a
wild beast cornered.
"This kid's got some nerve, he hurt a few of us!" one man said.
"Brother Nanbang said that after we catch this little punk, we'll cut his tendons!"
The leader of the group said this, turning to the man who had spoken earlier, "They'll take the injured brothers and go first. You and I
will stuff him in the trunk and find a place to cripple him."
With that, several men lifted the boy up, tied him with several ropes, and stuffed him into
the trunk of one of the cars. The other men, supporting their injured companions, threw machetes and clubs into other cars and
drove off.
After the car carrying the boy started moving, Li Bei threw some banknotes on the table, got on her motorcycle, and
followed.
The car stopped beside a grove of trees halfway up the mountain. The leader opened the trunk, grabbed the bound boy by the collar,
and yanked him out.
The boy cursed and bit the leader's hand hard, only to be punched in the
face by another man and knocked to the ground.
"Right here, take him down!" The leader, clutching his injured hand, winked at another man.
That man then pulled out a short knife from behind his back.
"You'll be in a wheelchair from now on, you brat! Daring to steal territory from Brother Nanbangguo, you're asking for death!"
"Fuck you! If you don't kill me today, I'll kill you another day!" the boy cursed.
"You motherfucker..." The knife-wielding man was about to strike when he noticed
someone jump off a motorcycle that had stopped behind them. The helmet, with its windshield down, obscured her face, but her slender figure conveyed a strong
message: it was a woman.
"Let him go!" Li Bei had already reached them. "
Little wench, acting bravely? Take off your helmet and let me see how pretty you are! Haha!" The knife-wielding man finished speaking and let
out a lewd laugh.
Seeing the man's reverse grip on the dagger, Li Bei scoffed, her tone full of disdain.
"Someone as inexperienced as you holds a knife like an idiot," she said. "Do you even know how to use a reverse-grip knife?"
"Huh? Damn..." the man stammered, then said, "I'll slash your face later, let's see if you
can still find a man!"
He winked at the leader, who immediately drew a dagger as well. The two men approached
Li Bei.
Before the man could get close, Li Bei, wielding a nimble dagger that had slipped from her sleeve, struck first. She flicked
the dagger forward and then slashed horizontally, cutting the man's wrist. Before he could react, the dagger
pierced his thigh.
"Ouch!" Li Bei's movements were swift; only when the dagger was pulled out did the man feel
the excruciating pain in his thigh.
The leader seemed unable to believe his eyes. In the blink of an eye, his accomplice was lying on the ground, clutching his thigh
and howling in pain. Before he could even recover, a short sword had already pierced his ribs.
"Ouch!" The short sword had gone deep, and the leader seemed to have injured his internal organs. Large beads of sweat began to
roll down his forehead. His short knife was thrown aside, and he lay on the ground, pale-faced, clutching his wound.
Li Bei untied the ropes binding the boy and said, "Get in the car!"
"..."
Li Bei drove the boy along the mountain road and stopped at a secluded spot she considered safe.
"Take this money and go. Also, check your injury; your head is bleeding." Li Bei said, stuffing several bills
into the boy's hand.
"Sister, I want to go with you." The boy wiped his forehead; the blood was still wet, and the blood smeared
his hand.
"Haha, how?" Li Bei laughed.
"You saved me once, otherwise I'd be crippled even if I weren't dead today. From now on, my life is yours!" the boy
replied.
"I don't need it. Go home and find your parents!" "
I have no home. My dad died long ago, and my mom ran off with another man! So, sister, I want to be with you!"
Li Bei saw that cold yet unyielding look in the boy's eyes again, and asked, "Why do
you want to be with me?"
"Because your knife is steady, accurate, and ruthless! Not like an ordinary person!" the boy replied, enunciating each word clearly.
"Hahaha! I've killed people!" Li Bei laughed.
"But you're a good person!" the boy said with a sincere look in his eyes.
"Interesting. What's your name? How old are you?" Li Bei asked.
"Li Fan, 22 this year. My friends call me 'Quick Hand,' but I prefer to be called 'Ranger'!"
"Ranger? That sounds like a nice title." Li Bei nodded slightly, took a few steps, turned around, and asked, "Do you like
playing with knives?"
"Yes!" the boy replied.
"But first you need a knife!"
"We own the billiard hall; we left the knife there during the war."
"That's trash!" With that, Li Bei strode to the motorcycle, opened the glove compartment, and threw a
paratrooper knife onto the ground in front of the boy.
"A sharpened paratrooper knife. From this moment on, you should act more like a man!" Then a wad of banknotes was thrown at the boy
's feet. As the motorcycle's engine drove away, Li Bei's voice echoed: "Three days later, at dusk, in the bamboo
forest at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, just you! As long as you're here, the knife is here!" (To be continued)
