Chapter 180: Wrapping Up
Chapter 180: Wrapping Up
Jiang Cheng looked at the two corpses on the ground and reloaded his gun, firing a few more shots at their heads.
Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Despite his seemingly calm and collected demeanor when dealing with the thirty to forty Enforcement Team members, every moment was filled with tension, and his breathing was rapid.
Fortunately, his Gun Combat had reached Perfection Level, and no matter the shooting stance he used, every bullet he fired hit its target with precision.
When Wan Yuliang received the call and rushed over, Jiang Cheng's heart couldn't help but feel anxious, worrying about any unforeseen circumstances.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
His gaze fell on a black leather bag not far away, and he walked over to take a look. Inside were brand new thousand-yuan bills, stacked in five piles, each pile containing a hundred bills, totaling fifty thousand yuan.
Jiang Cheng calmly zipped up the bag.
Firstly, he had mentally prepared for this.
Secondly, this wasn't the first time he had seen such a large sum of money.
"Including the eighty thousand yuan at home, that's a total of one hundred and thirty thousand yuan. There's still a little way to go to reach one hundred and fifty thousand, but it's not a problem."
Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on Wan Yuliang's body.
Just as the man had said before.
If you show no mercy, don't blame me for being ruthless.
When he had eliminated Zhang Hong, he had also wanted to get rid of Wan Yuliang, but he didn't want to harm the man's family.
However, Wan Yuliang had no sense of justice and blamed the innocent for this debt, killing their entire family and subjecting them to all sorts of torture, showing no humanity.
So don't blame him for being ruthless and eradicating the root of the problem.
But he wouldn't be as inhuman as Wan Yuliang, and he would give their families a quick and clean end, and also take some money from them.
As for how he infiltrated the residential complex and got them to open the door, that was indeed a tricky problem.
However, with a uniform, things became much easier.
...
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
In Ruo Luozi Lane, a scream echoed.
Soon after, numerous police cars arrived, and the entrance was cordoned off with multiple layers of police lines.
People passing by gathered at the entrance, speculating about what had happened.
In the lane, on an empty lot, dozens of bodies lay covered with white sheets.
Enforcement Team members who came to inquire looked on with shock.
Some even suspected they weren't fully awake.
Just then, several more bodies were carried over.
"Chief Ding."
A man quickly ran up to a middle-aged man, "We found Chief Gao's body."
The middle-aged man followed the man's gaze, and indeed, on the stretcher was the body of Gao Songbai.
"Chief Gao's condition was terrible. He had at least ten gunshot wounds on his body, especially his legs, which were riddled with bullet holes. In the end, he was shot in the head and died. But I estimate that even without that final shot, he would have died from excessive blood loss."
The man's face showed a look of reluctance, but deep down, he felt a sense of schadenfreude.
He and Gao Songbai were of the same rank, and their relationship was strained due to conflicts over interests. Now, seeing Gao Songbai dead and in such a miserable state, he felt a sense of satisfaction, like drinking a cold beverage on a hot summer day.
The people around him heard these words, and their faces filled with anger.
The murderer was truly heartless and insane!
Not only did he kill, but he also tortured his victims. The best they could hope for was not to be caught, or else they would replicate the torture they inflicted on Chief Gao onto the murderer.
Chief Ding, already with a gloomy expression, now seemed to be dripping with water.
"What about those corpses? Who are they?"
"Two of them were probably local thugs and have been dead for several days. The other one is Wan Yuliang, the manager of the McKen Club. His mother was recently murdered in the Embroidered Garden Complex, and Chief Gao was investigating the case."
"Then what happened here?"
Ding Liang looked at the bodies scattered on the ground.
Had more than half of the East City Enforcement Bureau's personnel been lost while investigating a single case?
How would he explain this to the Chief?
What would the other bureaus think if they found out? They would probably laugh behind his back.
"We just checked the recordings."
The man quickly explained, "It seems that last night, Chief Gao's men discovered the murderer was living here. They came to apprehend him, but..."
"Hmph!"
Ding Liang coldly huffed in dissatisfaction.
"Did the murderer escape?"
"It seems so."
The man shrugged.
Ding Liang almost blurted out the word 'useless' but swallowed it back.
After all, with so many subordinates around, it wouldn't be appropriate.
"Do we know the murderer's identity? How many were there? Any physical characteristics?"
"Based on the recordings, there was only one murderer."
"What?!"
Even Ding Liang was startled by this revelation.
One person had taken out thirty to forty armed and well-equipped officers?
"Yes, even Chief Gao's shouts from later in the recording suggest there was only one murderer. But this person's marksmanship is exceptional, with precise headshots and incredible speed. They also seemed familiar with the terrain. I believe Chief Gao and his team fell into a trap, deliberately lured here by the murderer."
The surrounding officers fell silent.
"As for physical characteristics, the murderer had an average build and wore a mask. That's all we know."
The man lowered his voice, "I suspect the murderer is no ordinary person. Chief Gao is at least a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, yet he was captured alive and tortured before being killed. The murderer could very well be a Third Rank or higher Primordial Energy Warrior with exceptional marksmanship."
"Hmm."
Ding Liang nodded.
The man's words confirmed his suspicions.
He even felt that this might be an underestimate of the murderer's strength.
Perhaps they were a Fifth Rank or higher.
Otherwise, how could they have the confidence to set a trap here and wait for their prey?
"Take the bodies back and notify the families. As for the case, I'll handle it personally. The Special Operations Unit will take over when the time comes."
"Yes, Chief Ding!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
In reality, the outer borough bureaus recruited ordinary people who were allowed to carry firearms.
To ordinary people, they were undoubtedly formidable.
But in a one-on-one confrontation with a Primordial Energy Warrior, especially a mid to high-level one, even with machine guns or sniper rifles, let alone single-soldier missile launchers, they could still face total annihilation.
In such cases, only the Special Operations Unit could handle it.
Clearly, the people inside were no ordinary criminals.
They had Primordial Energy Warriors and Mind Masters.
There might also be machines or genetically modified humans.
They were specifically tasked with handling unstable elements.
However, the murderer was clever, leaving almost no traces. Even the bullets used to kill their comrades were from their own guns, making it difficult to track them down."
