You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 232 He messed with me! He messed with me!

Upon seeing the armed police officers with long guns rushing in, the dozen or so people around the card table were stunned for a moment, then turned tail and tried to run away.

"Don't even move!"

"Hands on your head!"

"stop!"

"Hands behind your head! Hands behind your head!"

But nobody listened. Most people were running away. A few people, who were desperate for money and didn't care about their lives, kept grabbing at the money on the table. They were immediately subdued by the armed police!

Seeing that things were going badly, Lao Cui grabbed a woman, shoved her in front of the two plainclothes officers rushing towards him, and ran towards the back stairs.

The plainclothes officers who arrived saw them, but because none of them had any weapons, they didn't fire. Yao Weihua was leading his men in pursuit when...

Yang Jinwen raised his gun, cocked the hammer, and pulled the trigger towards the stairs.

"boom!"

The bullet struck the wooden handrail, creating a dent and sending wood chips flying.

Upon hearing the piercing gunshot, those who wanted to run immediately crouched down, too afraid to move.

Old Cui lay down on the stairs, unable to see downstairs, and ran quickly up to the second floor.

Yang Jinwen strode forward, with Maozi, Qi Bin, and Cai Ting following closely behind him.

Yang Jinwen leaped up to the second floor and looked at the open bedroom on his right.

In the blink of an eye, Old Cui ran out, holding a double-barreled shotgun.

"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer."

Yang Jinwen stopped and looked at him coldly.

Cat, Qi Bin, and Cai Ting were startled and immediately scattered, some using the stair railing as cover, others crouching against the wall.

Looking up from the first floor to the second floor, you can clearly see the confrontation between Lao Cui and Yang Jinwen, who are only about twenty meters apart.

Old Cui's eyes were bloodshot and his face was agitated. He gripped the gun handle with one hand, his finger on the trigger, and held the gun barrel with the other hand instead of raising it.

"Where did you come from? Why are you messing with me?"

Yang Jinwen was wearing a brown leather jacket over a white shirt and blue jeans, standing with long, slender legs.

With his right hand holding a gun, he pulled out his identification from his pocket with his left hand and showed it to the other person: "Municipal Public Security Bureau Major Crimes Unit, Yang Jinwen. Cui Wang, you are involved in organized crime, illegal possession of firearms, gambling, threatening others, and now we have added another charge: assaulting a police officer. You have to come with us."

"I……"

Old Cui wanted to say no, but the things he was holding and the cash on the table downstairs made it impossible for him to explain himself no matter how much he lied.

Besides, his case doesn't even need the police to investigate; just ask any petty thug, and their list of crimes would be several pages long.

Old Cui swallowed hard and asked tremblingly, "What did you say your name was?"

Yang Jinwen tucked the documents into his pocket and stared at him.

“You’ve already heard that. I won’t say it a second time. I’m giving you two choices: either put down your gun and come with us for questioning, or we’ll shoot. But you still can’t escape.”

Yang Jinwen... Old Cui pondered. He seemed to have some impression of the name, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.

"I haven't broken the law, you can't arrest me!"

Yang Jinwen pointed at him: "Then what are you holding in your hand?"

"I……"

"Find Chai Tao here, I want to talk to Captain Chai!"

Yang Jinwen raised an eyebrow: "Team Leader Chai? What's your relationship with him?"

"I...he's my brother!"

Yang Jinwen extended his hand to Cai Ting: "Phone."

Cai Ting held the gun in one hand and pulled out a mobile phone from her pocket with the other, tossing it to Yang Jinwen.

After catching it steadily, he dialed the number in front of Lao Cui.

A few seconds later, the call was connected, and Yang Jinwen held the phone to his ear.

"Team Leader Chai? Are you asleep?"

"Hey, Captain Yang, what's up, calling me in the middle of the night?"

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "Midnight? It's only 10 p.m. By the way, I was on night patrol and I ran into a big shot from your Jiaxing District named Cui Wang, who is known as Lao Cui in the underworld. He said he knows you and wants to talk to you."

As Yang Jinwen spoke, he observed Old Cui's expression across from him.

Old Cui looked surprised and uncertain, turned his feet outward, and took two steps back, clearly intending to run away.

Chai Tao, who was on the other end of the phone, was having a late-night snack at home. He had just gotten off work not long ago, and his heart stopped for several seconds when he heard this.

Yang Jinwen didn't say much, but there was a lot hidden in those few words.

Chai Tao's face turned pale, and his mind raced.

But you can't hesitate for too long about this kind of thing; even a second's hesitation can lead to bad luck.

He immediately cursed, "That son of a bitch, who the hell knows him!"
Captain Yang, you know me. I have always been mortal enemies with evil, especially those involved in organized crime!
I know this Old Cui. He's from the underworld. He owns several arcades and is also suspected of organizing gambling, but we haven't found any evidence yet!

He has a very close relationship with the third brother; we're investigating them right now. Did he suddenly appear on his own tonight?

Yang Jinwen said calmly, "I understand. Captain Chai, should we give him the phone?"

"No! You can handle it as you see fit. Arrest them if they need to! These people absolutely cannot be tolerated! We will never allow these evil forces to rise again!"

"Ok."

Yang Jinwen replied, then he moved the phone slightly away and said to Lao Cui, who was standing about 20 meters away, "Team Leader Chai wants you to answer the phone." The phone was not hung up at all, and Chai Tao on the other end of the line looked completely bewildered when he heard this.

No, why am I the one answering the phone?

Once I answered that call, I was in deep trouble!

Yang Jinwen ruined me!

Chai Tao's first thought was to hang up the phone, but then he thought that even if he hung up, he still wouldn't be able to explain the matter clearly.

He rushed to the TV. His wife, who had just come out of the bedroom, saw his flustered appearance and asked, "What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?!"

Chai Tao glared at him, and his wife saw an unprecedented panic on her husband's face for the first time.

Chai Tao wished he could rush to the scene right now, but there wasn't enough time. The wisest thing to do was to call the patrol team in the Jiaxing area.

But when he dialed, the phone was switched off. He tried again, but still couldn't get through.

So, he held the mobile phone in one hand and, with trembling hands, pressed a string of numbers, trying to call Jiang Bala.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Jinwen held his mobile phone up in front of him and waved it around.

"What? You say you know Captain Chai? Answer the phone."

Old Cui swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.

He knew Chai Tao; he had met him before at other people's drinking parties, but the other party hadn't given him any face and hadn't even touched a glass with him.

In that critical moment, the only thing he could think of was that Chai Tao could save his life.

In the years he's been out in the game, he's relied on his methods, his ruthlessness, and his weapons, unlike the three Cao siblings of Golden Age and Lijing Dance Hall, who relied on connections.

Old Cui thought he could make it big just by being ruthless, and he did. He gathered a large group of people under his command, made a lot of money, and even recognized the third brother as his boss.

But now, the police are all over the place, both upstairs and downstairs, trying to arrest him. They're not arresting anyone else, just him, and they didn't get any warning beforehand.

Old Cui's belief collapsed. He finally understood one thing: you can't just walk sideways if you're ruthless.

Without anyone protecting you, you're doomed.

But now, he had no choice but to try anything, and shouted, trying to sound tough but actually weak, "Throw the phone over here!"

Yang Jinwen stood still, staring coldly at him.

"Then you'd better catch it!"

After saying that, Yang Jinwen tossed the mobile phone in front of him.

Old Cui took a step forward, using his left hand, which was used to control the gun, to catch it.

Just then, Yang Jinwen bent his right hand fingers twice.
As soon as Lao Cui caught the mobile phone, Yang Jinwen raised his gun and pulled the trigger without saying a word.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out on the second floor. Jiang Bala and his group downstairs quickly climbed upstairs, while Maozi, Qi Bin, and Cai Ting advanced from the side, gripping their pistols tightly.

Yang Jinwen stood still, watching Lao Cui fall to the ground, his mobile phone lying at his feet and his hunting rifle lying to his right.

After Cai Ting passed by, she kicked the hunting rifle away.

Qi Bin and Maozi bent down to check Lao Cui's injuries. Lao Cui had been shot in the right wrist and in the right arm.

The May Fourth Movement was so powerful that after he fell to the ground, he couldn't get up at all.

"He's not dead." Cat raised his head and shouted to Jiang Bala and Yao Weihua who were running over.

"Search! Search thoroughly, upstairs and downstairs!" Yang Jinwen lowered his gun, his face expressionless.

Jiang Bala and Yao Weihua glanced at him, their eyes filled with shock.

It's one thing to dare to fire a gun, but it's another to dare to shoot and kill a criminal. How many people can actually do that when a criminal is holding a gun to them, and they don't flinch or dodge, yet still dare to fire?

At this moment, Yang Jinwen's face was very calm, and there was not a trace of panic in his eyes. You can't find another person with this kind of courage in the city bureau and the branch bureau!

Yao Weihua, leading his men, shouted, "Don't miss a single room! Under the ceiling, under the pillows, under the mattress—these are the places these guys love to hide things!"

Jiang Bala and Maozi dragged Lao Cui up from the ground. His right arm was covered in blood and he couldn't move, so there was no need to handcuff him.

Yang Jinwen took a few steps forward and picked up the mobile phone from the ground.

This thing is very sturdy; it can be used as a brick.

He glanced at the phone; it was still connected. So, he brought it to his ear and tried saying, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Chai Tao's body stiffened; he had clearly heard the gunshot!

Two shots were fired in quick succession, followed by shouts, chaotic footsteps, and someone saying, "He's not dead."

Why was the gun fired?
What exactly happened?
Chai Tao was completely bewildered, his mind churning with countless questions.

Hearing a familiar voice on the phone, he quickly replied, "Yes, yes, is this Captain Yang?"

"Team Leader Chai, I thought you hung up the phone."

Do I dare to hang up?
Chai Tao immediately asked, "What exactly happened? I just heard gunshots."

"It's nothing, just carrying out an arrest. Old Cui resisted arrest with a gun, but he has been apprehended. You should get some rest. Sorry for disturbing you."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

"Hello? Hello?"

Chai Tao stood there dumbfounded. He swallowed hard, thought for a moment, and immediately called He Jinbo.

After the call connected, he said in a panic, "Old He, Deputy Chief He, you need to take action quickly, Yang Jinwen is up to something big!"
