Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm
Chapter 155 The Assassin Arrives
"There's someone outside." A low, almost inaudible voice came from the phone, followed by a series of loud bangings on the door.
Liao Congjun's expression changed, and he quickly hung up the phone, his heart pounding wildly. It seemed that someone really did want to take action against them.
He immediately dialed the front desk: "Hello, is this the front desk? What's going on? Why are you banging on the door so late?"
"Nobody banged on the door!"
"Listen to yourselves, no one's banging on the door yet." Liao Congjun slammed the phone down, and the knocking became even more urgent. He glanced outside again; the other person hadn't left, but seemed quite anxious. At this moment, the banging on the door of 306 became even louder.
"What are you doing? Be quiet, don't alert the others." The person knocking on the door of 307 looked at the strange man in front of the door of 306, who curled his lip and sneered, "Break down the door, they won't open it anyway."
"Are you crazy? This is China, the mainland! Break down the door, do you want to die?!" the skinny man shouted quickly. At that moment, suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, and three figures appeared at the entrance to the third-floor corridor. The big man in the lead shouted, "What are you doing?"
The skinny and fat men were startled, their expressions changed, and they immediately took off running. Yuan Xiong saw this and quickly gave chase, but the other man was too fast. Soon, he reached the window and jumped out. Xie Zhijun was about to jump down when Yuan Xiong's expression changed. They were there to protect someone, not to chase an assassin.
"Stop chasing them, go check if they're alright." Watching the two assassins leap onto the water pipe on the first floor, quickly climb down to the ground floor, crouch down, and disappear into an alley, Fatty Xu's face changed slightly: "These people are so skilled?"
"Yes, it seems like he might be a professional killer." Yuan Xiong turned and walked towards room 307 before cautiously knocking on the door. Knock, knock, knock... Knock, knock, knock...
Liao Congjun was startled again, clutching the wooden stick he had just picked up. He had casually picked it up on his way back to the hotel, just in case something happened. Wu Jingyi had laughed at him for worrying unnecessarily, but unexpectedly, it had actually come in handy. If all else failed, he would have to fight it out.
Liao Congjun took a deep breath and slowly looked out through the peephole. At this moment, a tall and burly man stood in front of the door. He was startled, his face changed, and sweat appeared on his palms. One had just left, and another had come. This was bad. When would Lin Ying's people arrive?
He gripped the short stick tightly, his body trembling slightly. This was the first time he had encountered something like this; how could anyone actually dare to lay a hand on them?!
He quickly took out his phone, about to dial Lin Ying's number, when suddenly an unknown number called. He was startled again, and hesitated to answer, but after thinking for a moment, he pressed the answer button anyway: "Hello, who is this?"
"Team Leader Liao? I am Yuan Xiong from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Brigade. I have been sent by Director Lin to pick you up and take you to the Armed Police Squadron."
"People from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Brigade? People sent by Director Lin?" Liao Congjun was overjoyed.
"Yes, where are you? I'm at the door of room 307 at the Friendship Hotel, but I don't see you!"
"Uh!" Liao Congjun was startled and quickly looked out through the peephole. Sure enough, he saw the big guy holding a cell phone and talking on the phone. He quickly opened the door. Yuan Xiong turned his head and looked at Liao Congjun. The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Yuan Xiong hesitated before speaking, "Team Leader Liao?"
"Yes, you're someone sent by Director Lin?" Liao Congjun was a little excited, his heart pounding.
"Yes, I've been entrusted by Director Lin to come and pick you up." Yuan Xiong looked at Liao Congjun with a firm gaze.
"Okay, okay, I have another colleague, I'll go call her." Liao Congjun's body was trembling uncontrollably. He had never encountered anything like this before. In the middle of the night, assassins came to kill them, and Lin Ying's people arrived just in time.
Without saying a word, Liao Congjun quickly knocked on Wu Jingyi's door: "Hello, Jingyi, it's me."
Wu Jingyi quickly opened the door and saw Liao Congjun with several people behind him. She was taken aback, as the noise in the hallway had been quite loud, and she hadn't heard it clearly.
A flicker of doubt and wariness rose in her eyes: "Who are they...?"
"Oh, they're sent by Director Lin to pick us up. Hurry up and get ready, let's go with them." Liao Congjun urged them quickly. Wu Jingyi was a little confused, so she quickly went back to her room to pack her things. Yuan Xiong and the other two kept the two of them firmly in the middle, looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then started to go downstairs.
Once inside the car, Liao Congjun and Wu Jingyi finally felt relieved as the car drove away. They let out a long breath and slumped into their seats, already drenched in cold sweat.
They never expected that Gaoshan County was so complicated that someone would dare to target their audit team from the province. They were from the provincial department, so weren't these people afraid?
"Thanks to you all so much today. That was really dangerous," Liao Congjun said gratefully, glancing at the three of them before finally fixing his gaze on Yuan Xiong.
"Team Leader Liao, you're too kind. To be honest, if it weren't for Director Lin's timely orders, we wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly. You don't know, the assassin was just in the hallway."
"I know, they were knocking on the door just now, my heart was pounding in my chest," Liao Congjun quickly nodded.
"Yes, I just now, I just now... Waaah..." Wu Jingyi couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. She was just an auditor; she had never encountered anything like this before. There were actually assassins coming to kill them?!
Liao Congjun gently patted her back, and she slowly stopped crying. The two of them looked at each other with lingering fear, feeling a wave of dread. What if Lin Ying's people had arrived even a little later? What if they had broken down the door? Those two were clearly not good people.
"Those two people were likely professional assassins. We need to contact them as soon as possible, otherwise, something bad will definitely happen again." The appearance of professional assassins in Gaoshan County is bound to make people uneasy. Where are they hiding? And how did they get into Gaoshan County?
Liao Congjun and Wu Jingyi were terrified again, their hearts pounding. Their faces were filled with shock. It really was an assassin, and a professional one at that. They were a little flustered. How could there be a professional assassin trying to kill them?
Seeing their unease, Yuan Xiong quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, we'll call Director Lin right away, she'll make arrangements, so don't worry too much." He knew that the audit team were just ordinary auditors, and they had never seen anything like this before.
"Okay!" Liao Congjun replied, but his heart was still pounding.
