Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 102 - 98: Rescue!

"Damn it, hurry up!"

In the corridor, Liu Shengjie watched his subordinates moving things with a grim look on his face.

Xu Liang blocked the staircase with a cabinet and a pile of junk; they still couldn't get up there...

Thinking of Xu Liang's face, Liu Shengjie felt a bit weary.

He had miscalculated.

Liu Shengjie truly hadn't expected Xu Liang to be such a strong fighter!!!

The other guy might be tall and sturdy, but on their side, they initially had nine men!

Nine armed men!!!

Astonishingly, Xu Liang only came away with some injuries and even knocked two men onto the ground with a reverse attack, breaking one guy's forearm and the other's ribs, leaving them in an unknown state of life or death...

Nine guys couldn't take down one, Liu Shengjie felt he had seen it all in this lifetime!

Thinking of this, Liu Shengjie couldn't help but feel a bit agitated.

"Hurry it up!"

He urged them with a scolding tone.

However, this time, the person moving things paused slightly and said suspiciously:

"Boss, I think I heard something..."

Sounds?

Xu Liang and Wang Chao's voices?

Liu Shengjie was about to speak, but in the next second...

A faint sound drifted into his ears, causing his brow to furrow slightly.

There seemed to indeed be some commotion.

Liu Shengjie signaled to everyone to 'be quiet', his ears perked up, listening carefully.

"Woo woo..."

The sound became a bit clearer, it seemed somewhat familiar.

Liu Shengjie's brows furrowed.

Soon, the sound grew louder, even slightly piercing!

This is...

Sirens!

Countless police cars with blaring sirens!!!

Liu Shengjie's eyes widened, his expression changed to one of rage, awkward words escaping his mouth.

"The cops!"

In an instant, everyone was utterly shocked.

The police had arrived!!!

Not Xu Liang and Wang Chao, but a whole bunch of police officers in uniforms, driving police cars to the crime scene!!!

"Run!!!"

Without hesitation, Liu Shengjie turned and ran down.

He knew he couldn't catch Xu Liang, and there was no time to destroy the evidence in the basement boiler room; he might as well just escape and figure things out later!

Once he moved.

The rest instantly became bewildered, scattering and fleeing like birds and beasts.

...

Meanwhile

At the welfare institute's main entrance.

"Whee-ooh! Woo woo~!"

"Everyone, move in! The criminals are extremely dangerous, mind the hostages! The target might be holding two hostages!"

"Second and third squads, quickly move to the welfare institute's rest area. Make sure to block all entrances and prevent them from taking innocent hostages!"

"First squad, arm yourselves, be ready for combat at any time, and advance forward!!!"

At the iron gate, police cars flashing blue and red lights suddenly stopped with abrupt brakes, with no time to even turn off the engines.

In an instant, officers in plain clothes or uniforms descended from the cars.

In a mere moment's work, the police had already arranged tasks for all the squads.

Liu Jin scanned his surroundings and then looked at Yang Ruoxi beside him.

"Where are they now?!"

As he spoke, Liu Jin was looking a bit grim.

God knows how shocked he was when he heard Yang Ruoxi's report to the police.

Xu Liang and Wang Chao were conducting a private investigation into the Bright Welfare Institute...

Wang Chao, that fool, would definitely face disciplinary action!!!

He had just recently been promoted, and a disciplinary action could mean suspension... which would be heavily detrimental to future promotions!

The only piece of good news is...

Their private investigation did uncover some things, so as long as they issued a search warrant within 24 hours, the negative effects could be minimized.

As for Yang Ruoxi.

She looked at the welfare institute with a frown.

The night was as dark as ink, and from the exterior, she couldn't quite discern which was the abandoned building, but fortunately, she remembered Xu Liang's words.

"The one on the far right!"

Yang Ruoxi decisively pointed out with her hand.

Having obtained the target information.

Liu Jin hesitated no longer, reaching to his waist.

The chilling sensation spread from his fingertips to his heart, and in the next second, a cold-shimmering handgun appeared in Liu Jin's hand!

"Clack!"

The crisp and intimidating sound of the chamber being cocked could be heard.

"First squad and the police station, with me to catch them!"

With Liu Jin's words, he held the gun and led his team at high speed toward the crime scene.

The site wasn't far from him.

However, just as they were approaching the abandoned building...

A shadowy figure running away suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.

Liu Jin's eyes narrowed.

"Who!?"

The voice rang out, and the figure before him froze for a moment.

After recognizing Liu Jin's face, the person realized they were running in the wrong direction and immediately tried to escape elsewhere.

"Capture him!"

Upon Liu Jin's order, someone behind him rushed forward in three steps, knocking the person down to the ground.

No time to waste with the opponent.

Liu Jin looked up at the abandoned building, waving his hand.

"Follow me!"

In an instant, a swarm of police officers flooded into the building from all directions.

Inside the building, those who hadn't had time to escape were caught red-handed.

The two groups directly collided face-to-face!

"Nobody move!"

Liu Jin reacted first, drawing his gun and aiming.

Not moving?

Anyone who doesn't run is a damn fool!

Without a moment's hesitation, the people in the hall immediately turned around, preparing to run out the side door!

Unfortunately, the police had already set up an ambush.

"Squeak~!"

A few who attempted to escape through the side door, as soon as they opened it, a shadow from either side kicked them back inside.

Their knees buckled, and they were promptly subdued to the ground.

"Clack!"

The crisp sound of handcuffs clicking shut echoed.

Inside the hall.

As the crowd became more chaotic, Liu Jin, with a dark expression, couldn't hold back any longer and pointed his gun at the ceiling.

"Bang!!!"

The gunshot rang out.

Everyone at the scene flinched, instinctively bent down, and stopped running.

"This is a gun warning!"

Liu Jin shouted coldly, then turned the gun toward the others present.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot..."

Someone couldn't take it, their face turned pale, and they slowly crouched down, hands over their head, squatting down.

Bullets are far more intimidating than words. Once the gunshot was heard, everyone immediately became obedient.

Only idiots wouldn't run?

Even if they wanted to,

they had to admit they were idiots when faced with the gun barrel.

"Heh."

Liu Jin sneered but didn't lower his guard.

"Really, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Just then, there was a commotion from the second floor.

"Captain Liu, we've found them!!!"

Who did they find?

Liu Jin paused, then instructed the people on the first floor to keep the scene under control, and he himself stepped onto the stairs, heading to the second floor.

At the stairway's entrance, he saw both sides piled with all sorts of junk, leaving a passage in the middle for people to pass through.

In the passage, there were two faces full of survivors, one sitting and the other standing, with police officers searching around.

Liu Jin showed no expression. He took out a flashlight and shone it on their faces.

"Snap!"

The strong light, shining on their faces, caused some discomfort in the eyes, and Xu Liang and Wang Chao instinctively squinted.

The injuries on the two men's bodies were now visible to Liu Jin.

Wang Chao's injuries were relatively light. His wounds looked frightening but wouldn't lead to excessive bleeding or hit vital areas.

Xu Liang, however, had been fighting from start to finish, and his body was much more battered.

He was covered in bruises, his face bloodied with both his and others' blood, his fingers somewhat deformed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Quickly, someone bandage him up!"

Looking at the blood, Liu Jin showed urgency, and a subtle shock was happening inside.

As a policeman, he often engaged in close combat with criminals, naturally knowing how difficult real fighting is.

Let alone what Xu Liang did...

Not to mention the number of people just arrested, any one of them wasn't an ordinary thug!

These people had rich fighting experience, striking cunningly and mercilessly!!!

Yet Xu Liang, with just a wrench, fought more than a dozen armed men to a standstill, and even left several others on the first floor badly injured...

Looking at the entire Hanhai City police force, few can fight better than him!

"I'm fine; catching the criminals should be the priority."

Xu Liang was already using his usual emergency kit to bandage himself up.

"Don't worry, they won't get away!"

Seeing he could still talk, Liu Jin checked more carefully.

After ensuring there were no serious injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked at Wang Chao.

"Heh heh, Captain, I made a contribution this time!!!"

Wang Chao was very excited, despite his body still aching slightly, but under the influence of adrenaline and his achievement, he had long forgotten his injuries.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Liu Jin was suddenly furious.

"Smack!"

He kicked Wang Chao on the butt.

"You damn well write a 5,000-word self-critique for me when we get back!"

Liu Jin was extremely angry, "No search warrant and you deploy, you die, I wouldn't even know how to handle your body!!!"

The nearly two-meter-tall Wang Chao now appeared sheepish.

"I was just in a hurry, the search warrant wouldn't have arrived until this morning."

"Captain Liu, look, Liu Shengjie and his men appearing at this time means they're definitely here to clean the crime scene."

"If we waited until morning, we probably wouldn't find anything."

What he said made sense.

But...

Liu Jin's face darkened further, kicking him again.

"Do you care about merit over your life, huh!?"

Wang Chao stopped talking, pretending his injuries were grave, showing an expression of being close to death.

To avoid another kick, he showcased an acting skill equal to Yang Ruoxi's!

Liu Jin was speechless but still refrained from further reprimanding due to Wang Chao's injured status.

He waved his hand.

"Get the people to the hospital quickly for emergency bandaging, don't leave any aftereffects."

Having said that, Liu Jin hurriedly wanted to head down to the first floor.

However, just as he reached the staircase, he suddenly stopped, turning his head to look at Xu Liang.

"Where's the crime scene?"

Liu Shengjie had posed as if to silence him, proving Xu Liang must have seen something.

Wang Chao had said those people came to erase crime scene evidence, but he hadn't seen anything, can only prove the crime scene is somewhere he hasn't discovered!

As for the scene...

Recalling those four boilers, Xu Liang paused, showing a hesitant expression.

After a long moment, Xu Liang slowly spoke:

"The basement."

"Below the first floor stairs, there's a side door that leads in."

"Captain Liu, this case is extraordinary, I suggest when you search..."

As he spoke, Xu Liang paused, solemnly advising:

"Be mentally prepared!"

Mentally prepared?

Liu Jin paused, frowning.

He's been on the police force for over ten years, what case hasn't he seen?

Dismemberment, decomposed corpse cases, even the Snail case, and when Sun Quan sliced someone into pieces, he had been through it, his mentality has long changed.

But out of trust in Xu Liang, he still nodded.

"Alright."

Liu Jin nodded, having received the crime scene location, he hurriedly moved toward the staircase.

On the first floor.

By this time, those arrested were already pressed against the wall, quietly waiting for Liu Jin's arrangements.

Seeing Liu Jin descending the staircase, the person in charge quickly looked at him.

"Captain Liu."

Liu Jin nodded, he didn't rush to make arrangements, but instead scanned around.

In just a few seconds, with someone's reminder, he spotted the concealed door.

Standing before the basement door, Liu Jin placed his hand on the doorknob, pausing briefly.

'Be mentally prepared?'

After a moment of silence, in a slight daze, Liu Jin gripped the doorknob tightly.

Instantly, the basement door swung open.

"Creak~"

A dark corridor leading downwards appeared in front of him.
