Chapter 178: Falling for the Trap
Chapter 178: Falling for the Trap
In less than three minutes, Wan Yuliang withdrew a sum of money from the bank.
It totaled 500,000.
300,000 of it was the reward for capturing the murderer alive.
The additional 200,000 was an extra bonus.
After all, Gao Songbai was the Major of the Law Enforcement Bureau and had a good relationship with the higher-ups. Cultivating a good relationship with him would only bring benefits, not drawbacks.
500,000 was no small amount.
For business convenience, he had specially opened an account at the bank and deposited several hundred thousand. Withdrawing this 500,000 left his card with very little balance.
He could only take some money from his home's safety deposit box in a couple of days and deposit it.
However, it was all worth it.
Wan Yuliang took a deep breath, picked up the black leather bag, and walked out of the bank.
Several rugged men were standing guard at the entrance.
Seeing the bag in Wan Yuliang's hand, they first froze, then quickly averted their eyes.
"Let's go."
A hint of viciousness flashed in Wan Yuliang's eyes.
Soon, two vans followed a sedan, heading toward Ruo Luozi Lane.
They sped along the route.
In less than five minutes, the three vehicles stopped at an entrance to Ruo Luozi Lane.
The alley was narrow, testing even the most skilled drivers, let alone with two police cars blocking the entrance.
Seeing this scene, Wan Yiliang's belief was even more solidified.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, seven or eight men, armed with machetes and sticks, followed him.
As they walked, a dark shadow appeared on the ground ahead, seemingly a person lying there.
"Wan Boss, it looks like a..."
The man at the front stammered.
Though they knew their boss had good relations with the Law Enforcement Bureau, they were still just gangsters, even if they had killed before.
Wan Yuliang observed for a moment, then walked over.
Indeed, lying on the ground was a corpse.
Wearing a uniform, with a bulletproof vest on the upper body.
Unfortunately, the corpse had been shot in the back of the head, the blood almost clotted.
"Dead?"
The men exchanged glances.
"Let's go."
Wan Yuliang was indifferent.
After all, Gao Songbai had already mentioned on the phone that many people had been sacrificed this time. Encountering a few corpses was entirely normal.
However, what he saw next left him feeling suffocated.
There were too many corpses!
At first, there were one or two.
Later, in a small area, there could be three or four, even five or six corpses!
All of them were members of the Law Enforcement Bureau, wearing bulletproof vests.
"What happened here?" one of the men asked, his voice trembling.
Even he, who had no qualms about killing, felt a chill run down his spine at the sight. These were not ordinary people but armed members of the Law Enforcement Bureau. If they had to face them, they would wish their parents had given them extra legs.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
Wan Yuliang said, but everyone could see his hand, holding the leather bag, was trembling.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Gao Songbai's number.
It wasn't that he was timid, but the scene was too bizarre.
"Hello?"
Soon, Gao Songbai's voice came through the phone.
"Chief Gao, it's me."
Wan Yuliang looked around and couldn't help but lick his dry lips, "I've arrived at Ruo Luozi Lane, but the bodies on the road..."
"You saw them?"
Gao Songbai's voice turned cold, "I told you on the phone that to catch that person, many of my men were killed or injured. Did you think I was joking with you?
"No, no, I'm so sorry, Chief Gao. I didn't expect the losses to be this severe." Wan Yuliang felt a deep sense of guilt.
"It's fine, come quickly. I'm waiting for you here," Gao Songbai urged.
"I'll be there soon," Wan Yuliang said, quickening his pace.
After walking a few dozen meters, he arrived.
"Chief Gao, I'm truly sorry. This time, I only brought the money for you. For the other victims, I'll need to raise funds after returning." Wan Yuliang was in immense pain.
Along the way, he had discovered over ten corpses. Even if he calculated 100,000 yuan for each person, it would amount to over a million.
If there were more corpses, even two million might not be enough.
Even he couldn't produce such a large sum of cash all at once.
"Don't worry, I'll handle these matters later. Have you arrived?" Gao Songbai urged again.
Just then, footsteps could be heard outside the room, accompanied by another voice that synchronized with the one on the phone.
"Chief Gao, I'm at the entrance. Where are you?" Wan Yuliang arrived at a closed door with his subordinates.
Confused, he wondered why there wasn't a single person at the entrance. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a figure holding a rifle.
The gun muzzle erupted with flames.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Continuous gunshots rang out.
The surrounding thugs didn't even have time to react before they were headshot and fell to the ground.
Wan Yuliang's mind went blank as well.
He didn't know what was happening or why someone would come out of the room and start shooting at them. But when he saw the masked figure, he suddenly understood everything.
They had fallen for a trap! In the moment of realization, he turned to run.
However, a sharp pain shot up his legs, causing him to lose strength in his lower body. He fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ouch! Ah!"
Wan Yuliang rolled on the ground, clutching his legs.
Footsteps approached.
Wan Yuliang caught a glimpse of the masked figure slowly approaching him from the corner of his eye.
"No! Please, no!"
Trembling in fear, he crawled away, driven by the will to survive.
He couldn't stay here!
Staying meant certain death!
The murderer would never let him go!
His fate would be a hundred times worse than that family's. But the next moment, he felt his leg being grabbed, and his lower body was dragged backward.
"No! No!"
He struggled desperately, trying to break free, but the person behind him was like a monster with incredible strength!
"Please, spare me! I won't dare again! I promise!" he cried.
Inside the room, Gao Songbai heard the cries and couldn't help but show a look of reluctance.
It was too cruel.
But he had no choice.
If he didn't lure the murderer here, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Moreover, if it weren't for his help in finding the murderer, he wouldn't have fallen into this trap, and his life would be at the mercy of the murderer.
In a way, this could be considered karmic retribution.
With a loud bang, the door was closed.
Outside, a long trail of blood and seven or eight corpses remained.
In the neighborhood, someone heard the commotion and, terrified, blocked the door with a cabinet before crawling into their bed, shivering.
