Chapter 28 The Crime Behind It

"Please, please, let me go..."

"My mother is seriously ill and needs my care..."

Deep in the dark forest, the petite female assistant, her face streaked with tears, knelt at the feet of a tall, hairy humanoid creature, pleading desperately.

Feng Nan and the other two hid behind a tree, watching this scene with astonishment.

“I knew something was off.”

Feng Nan thought to himself.

"Brother Li, hit him."

Feng Nan pointed at the humanoid creature and said.

"Take him alive..."

Li Biao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Li Biao also realized something was wrong.

That humanoid creature appeared to be a person.

"Too dangerous."

"It's not too late to injure him first and then arrest him."

Feng Nan said in a low voice.

"This……"

Li Biao was still somewhat hesitant.

"Brother Li, don't hesitate, it's too late, that little assistant is going to die."

Feng Nan said anxiously.

Li Biao looked up in that direction.

Upon discovering the creature that resembled a human, he slowly lifted a boulder despite his female assistant's pleas.

Li Biao gritted his teeth and raised his gun.

boom--

A gunshot rang out, shaking the mountains and forests.

It startled countless birds into flight.

"Police, don't move!"

"Hold your head with your hands and squat down!"

Li Biao roared and emerged from behind the tree, aiming his gun at the humanoid creature.

In the end, Li Biao chose to follow the regulations and fire a warning shot first to identify himself.

Feng Nan sighed helplessly.

His eyes were fixed on the humanoid creature.

"Police, help me! They are..."

"Shut up, bitch!"

Before the female assistant could finish speaking, the humanoid creature roared and slammed the stone in its hand down on the female assistant's head.

"broken!"

Feng Nan exclaimed.

boom--

At that moment, Li Biao pulled the trigger.

It was accompanied by deafening gunfire.

Blood splattered from the humanoid creature's shoulder.

Li Biao's marksmanship was superb; he actually hit the target in such dim lighting.

"Um……"

The person pretending to be a ghost let out a muffled groan, and the rock in his hand fell to the ground.

He also knelt on the ground, clutching his shoulder.

"Don't move!"

Li Biao raised his gun and charged forward.

The person pretending to be a ghost turned to look.

They saw that Li Biao had already rushed over.

Ignoring everything else, he grabbed the stone and threw it at his female assistant, then staggered away in a panic.

bang bang bang-

Seeing that the man was trying to run away, Li Biao fired several shots.

Unfortunately, the light was too dim, and the man was very cunning, always running behind the trees. Li Biao fired several shots but failed to hit him.

"What a pity, he got away."

Feng Nan sighed.

"Let's go check on how he is."

Li Biao holstered his gun and ran towards his female assistant. Feng Nan and another agent quickly followed.

The stone was thrown in haste and did not cause any serious injury, only hitting the female assistant's leg.

Seeing this, Feng Nan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Biao identified himself and checked the female assistant's injuries, but Feng Nan asked, "Who is he? Why did he arrest Xu Ni'an? And why did he want to kill you?"

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, a flicker of panic crossed the female assistant's eyes, and she shook her head: "I don't know..."

Feng Nan, who had been keeping a close eye on the female assistant, naturally didn't miss the fleeting panic in her eyes. Hearing what the female assistant said, Feng Nan sneered: "You'd better think this through. He's going to kill you to silence you. Do you think he'll let you go if you continue to cover for them?"

"If you confess honestly, we can catch him sooner and you might still live. Otherwise, do you think he won't come back for you if he continues to roam free?"

Feng Nan's tone was extremely cold and devoid of any emotion. As he spoke, he even put his hand in front of his neck and made a throat-slitting gesture towards his female assistant.

Seeing Feng Nan's cold gaze, the female assistant subconsciously shivered, lowered her head, and dared not meet Feng Nan's eyes again.

"Think it through yourself."

"Only if I'm alive can I take care of your mother."

"You wouldn't want your mother to suffer from illness and outlive her child, would you?"

Feng Nan gave his female assistant no chance to catch her breath, continuing to press her relentlessly, trying to break down her psychological defenses and get her to talk.

Feng Nan was certain that there were definitely some hidden dealings involved, and it was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

There might be some unspeakable secret hidden behind this case.

Looking at his female assistant, who was bowing her head and trembling silently, Li Biao shook his head at Feng Nan, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Feng Nan shook her head and gestured for Li Biao to be quiet.

He then continued to stare at the female assistant.

"You think if you don't speak up, no one else will? Don't forget, out of the three of you, one of you ran away. He was lucky; we've already rescued him."

"I'm giving you a chance to speak. If you don't speak, you will eventually. The one who speaks is called to atone for their crime and make amends, which can turn a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing. The one who doesn't speak is guilty of harboring a criminal!"

When she said the words "crime of harboring a criminal," Feng Nan deliberately emphasized them.

"You're not telling me because you're afraid, aren't you?"

"But if he confesses, he'll be my tainted witness. To protect him, we'll still release the news that you're the one who said it. When you get out of prison, if we haven't caught everyone, we'll still face their pursuit. We can use you as bait to wipe them all out..."

Feng Nan deliberately leaned close to his female assistant's ear and spoke in a sinister tone.

"No, I'll tell you!"

Before Feng Nan could finish speaking, the female assistant panicked and screamed.

"Ah……"

Feng Nan's lips curled up into a smug smile.

"Xiao Feng, isn't it against the rules to interrogate me like this?"

Li Biao pulled Feng Nan aside and whispered to her.

"Brother Li, what are you afraid of? I haven't even started working here yet."

Feng Nan chuckled.

"Ok?"

Li Biao was dumbfounded.

"Hahaha……"

Feng Nan chuckled, patted Li Biao on the shoulder, and walked towards the female assistant.

Feng Nan grabbed her female assistant and pulled her up: "Stop talking nonsense, where did Xu Ni'an go?"

“If Xu Ni’an dies, your crime will be much greater; you will at least be an accomplice.”

Seeing the female assistant's hesitant expression, Feng Nan reprimanded her sternly.

"They were taken down the mountain!"

The female assistant was startled and shouted.

Why did they arrest Xu Ni'an?

Feng Nan continued to press for answers.

“Xu Ni’an has rare blood type (Rh-negative), and they want to take her abroad to get blood transfusions and access an organ bank.”

The female assistant was already under Feng Nan's control; when Feng Nan asked her, she answered without hesitation.

Upon hearing the female assistant's words, Feng Nan and Li Biao's expressions changed instantly.

They all realized the seriousness of the problem.

This is no simple kidnapping case.

There is an even greater evil hidden behind it.

"Brother Li, quickly notify Brother Yue to close the road. We absolutely cannot let them escape out of the city."

Feng Nan was the first to react and shouted to Li Biao.

After being reminded by Feng Nan, Li Biao came to his senses and immediately took out his phone to call Yueyang.

"Let's go down the mountain first."

"Make the call while walking."

"I'm afraid there are still people on the mountain; it's too dangerous up there."
