I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 306 - 198: I’m Not a Bad Guy

"Just as expected!"

Everything was under Shao Gang’s control. This road was indeed the only way back to Suowen Village, and the terrain was complex with dense forests on both sides, an ideal place for an ambush.

The security team, in a hurry to return, didn’t notice the enemy’s ambush and was caught off guard.

Everyone scrambled to dodge, and only then could they find an opportunity to fight back!

As the battle broke out, the security commander immediately directed his men to find advantageous positions and stabilize their formation!

"Sister Hong, it seems you can’t return to the village with us. We’ve encountered an enemy attack here, it’s very dangerous. Let me arrange for someone to escort you back to the park!"

Even at this moment, the security commander didn’t forget his duty to protect Sister Hong’s safety.

The sudden ambush shocked Sister Hong. Her expertise was in electric shocks, not warfare.

Amidst the hail of bullets, she was momentarily disoriented, but on hearing the commander’s offer to escort her back to the park, she was instantly willing: "Thank you, it’s a lot of trouble for you."

"Squad leader, take a few brothers and escort Sister Hong back to the park."

"Understood."

The squad leader quickly withdrew three men from the team and escorted Sister Hong off the battlefield.

All of this unfolded before Li Xiang’s eyes. Sister Hong, standing right there, was the mastermind behind the 6·23 case and a key target for the police. He had come here, hoping for a chance to capture her.

The opportunity had now arrived.

Watching them drive an off-road vehicle away from the battlefield, Li Xiang also got into a car and followed.

"Squad leader, a car is trailing us."

The security veteran sitting in the passenger seat, experienced in combat, quickly noticed Li Xiang’s pursuit.

"Is it just one car? Should we deal with it first?"

The squad leader, hearing their idea, did not agree: "No need to complicate matters. Speed up and lose him. Our mission is to safely escort Sister Hong back to the park."

"Thank you."

Sister Hong was very touched hearing the squad leader’s words.

"Alright then."

The driver, following the squad leader’s instructions, floored the gas pedal, and the off-road vehicle roared to life.

Having been a soldier and driving military vehicles, they never bothered with fuel efficiency and drove wildly, overtaking from both sides as if the road belonged to them.

With such maneuvering, the driver felt a bit smug, confident that with his top-three driving skills in the military, they’d surely lost the pursuer. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Just as he was feeling pleased and about to check the rearview mirror for the pursuing car’s whereabouts, another vehicle suddenly burst from the back, ramming straight into their car.

Bam!!!

The off-road vehicle was hit off the road, crashing directly into a roadside utility pole, causing the poorly constructed pole to snap upon impact.

The front of the off-road vehicle formed a V-shaped dent, while the people inside were dazed from the collision.

Li Xiang got out of the car, took his gun, and called out the people inside one by one, leaving only one person.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I’ll do whatever you say."

Sister Hong was largely unharmed from the crash, though her head was cut, blood streaming down her face, creating a terrifying sight.

"I don’t plan on killing you. Get out."

Li Xiang pulled Sister Hong out of the car and contacted Yang Ming to come and take her away.

"Aren’t you the one from CC Park?"

Sister Hong recognized Li Xiang immediately upon seeing him.

The one who had just been standing beside the White siblings, wasn’t it him?

Unexpectedly, the tables had turned. Just moments ago, she was so arrogant, and now, she found herself in the hands of her opponent, feeling utterly humiliated.

But now, the situation outweighed her power, and she could only plead, "I beg you, let me go. I’ll give you money."

"Money?"

Li Xiang became interested upon hearing Sister Hong offer money. It was all dirty money. If he helped the state recover the stolen funds, he’d receive a substantial bonus, clean money he could spend however he wished.

"Yes, yes, I’ll give you money, just let me go."

Sister Hong, seeing Li Xiang’s interest, felt a glimmer of hope rekindling in her heart.

Being the park owner herself, she was well aware of the consequences of being caught and sent back, which would be worse than death.

"Come, sit down, let’s take our time discussing this. Wipe your face. How could you be so careless, hurting your head like that? Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy. So tell me, how much are you willing to pay to save your life?"

Li Xiang’s hospitality made Sister Hong a bit dazed. She found it hard to reconcile the current Li Xiang with the one who had just been pointing a gun at people.

The greater the contrast, the more unsettled she felt.

As a park owner, she understood human nature. People like him were the most unpredictable.

Slightly overwhelmed, Sister Hong nervously extended a single finger to test Li Xiang.

"Ten million? Is your life worth so little?"

Indeed, Li Xiang switched moods faster than flipping a book, becoming furious upon seeing her extend one finger.

He was testing Sister Hong, curious to see her reaction to an exaggerated number.

Exactly as expected, Sister Hong nearly fainted upon hearing this amount.

She was too embarrassed to admit she only intended to offer a million, not expecting Li Xiang’s appetite to be so enormous, outright demanding ten times more.

But seeing Li Xiang impatiently handling his weapon, Sister Hong was nearly scared to death.

"Then... then how much do you want? I really don’t have ten million."

"When others say they don’t have ten million, I believe them, but when Sister Hong of Amutai says it, who believes? Your life is worth at least a small target."

Upon hearing Li Xiang raise the amount to even a bigger goal, Sister Hong felt dizzy, nearly fainting again.

After years of running the electric park in Miaowadi, she had indeed made some substantial money. But it wasn’t all hers; there were stakeholders to appease, subordinates to reward, partnership dividends, her investments, and so forth. She honestly didn’t have that much in cash.

Now, Li Xiang’s starting price was a small target, causing her vision to blur: "You might as well kill me, I truly don’t have that kind of money."

"Hehe, such a pretty woman. Killing you would be a waste. There are over ten thousand bachelors in the park without maintenance. Best come back with me to the park."

"No, please, I beg you, I have an anonymous deposit certificate with 7 million US Dollars in a Swiss Bank. I’ll give you this money if you let me go."

Hearing about the over ten thousand bachelors in the park, Sister Hong was utterly alarmed. She couldn’t endure such humiliation and revealed her trump card.

"7 million US Dollars? Barely sufficient. Give me the account and password for verification."

"If I give you the account and password, you could take the money anytime. What if you don’t let me go then?"

Sister Hong became anxious. Once the money was in the bag, she’d have no bargaining chips. If he turned hostile, she’d be totally helpless.

"Do you even have the luxury to negotiate? If you don’t trust me, then back to the park we go."

"No, I trust you. I trust you. My account number is ************, the password, the password..."

"Don’t think about deceiving me. I can verify it now. If you lie, I’ll immediately take you back to the park for a train ride."

Initially planning to lie with a random number, Sister Hong dared not anymore and obediently divulged the password.

"Can you release me now?"

"No rush, your ride is here."

A car slowly pulled up in front of Li Xiang. Yang Ming and Li Yue stepped out and approached him: "Captain Li, is this Sister Hong?"

"That’s right, she’s one of the masterminds behind the 6·23 case, and the boss of Amutai in Miaowadi, Sister Hong. She has an anonymous account in a Swiss Bank with 7 million US Dollars of illicit funds. Now that’s a big catch!"

"Damn, Captain Li, you’re impressive!"

Overhearing their conversation, Sister Hong immediately realized the identity of the man in front of her: "You’re a cop?"

"Yes, I told you, I’m not a bad guy!"

The intense shock caused Sister Hong to faint on the spot.
