Chapter 47: The Number One Train Across Five Thousand Years: Kidnapping the Deputy Department Head!
Seeing the target step out of the vehicle, Li Si, who had been lying on the ground wailing, and Zhang San acting in unison, sprang to their feet and rushed forward in a single bound.
They marched straight up to the car door and slammed it shut!
"Hehehehehe~"
"My guess just now was spot on. Judging by the clothes and attire of these two, their identities are definitely extraordinary!" Zhang San sneered.
Li Si nodded as well: "Indeed. Their styling looks just like the county magistrates we see on television."
"What do you think you're doing?" Having regained his senses, Li Weimin immediately rebuked them sternly!
Rising through the ranks from a grassroots narcotics officer purely on the back of his meritorious service to his current position, Li Weimin had undoubtedly offended quite a few people.
Many drug lords harbored a bone-deep hatred for him and wanted nothing more than his life!
However...
Li Weimin could be certain that no outsider knew about his itinerary to Tazhai today; it was impossible for those who wished him harm to have received advance intelligence!
"What are we doing? Heh! Don't you know what you've done? Playing dumb!"
Zhang San sneered as he spoke.
"!"
Li Weimin's heart tightened!
What on earth had he done?
Twenty years ago, he single-handedly ventured into a drug den, fighting desperately to capture a major drug lord who had entrenched himself in Yunhai Province for five years!
Fifteen years ago, he was ordered to go undercover in the Golden Triangle, hanging by a thread on multiple occasions before finally securing the evidence to smash a tens-of-tons drug syndicate in one fell swoop!
Ten years ago...
"Who sent you?"
Li Weimin asked in a cold voice. He had made far too many enemies; who knew how many drug kingpins loathed him to the core!
For a moment, he had no idea which faction these two men before him belonged to.
"Still putting on an act?" Zhang San sneered inwardly: 'You borrowed so much from our online lending platforms and refuse to repay it, yet you still manage to look so righteous and heroic?!'
So he retorted, "You'll find out for yourself soon enough!"
-------------------------------
Zhang San and Li Si possessed extraordinary physical prowess. After all, Li Weimin was already aging, and Fan Nong was merely an unarmed "civil bureaucrat."
"Knock them out!"
Hearing this, a chill surged from the depths of Li Weimin's heart, instantly spreading through his entire body!
He had never expected that after a twenty-year military-style career fighting narcotics, he would ultimately fall right here!
As the dignified Deputy Director of the Yunhai Province Public Security Department, Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau, a legendary anti-narcotics hero, and a legend within police circles, this was how his journey would end!
Even more unthinkable was that anyone would dare to lay a hand on him within the borders of Huaxia!
Once word got out, even the "Heavenly Court" would tremble! A Deputy Director of the Public Security Department getting targeted for revenge within the country, within the province!
This... had never happened in five thousand years of history! There had never been such audacious and lawless desperadoes. Yet today, it was actually happening!
Knocking Li Weimin and his companion unconscious, Zhang San and Li Si hoisted them over their shoulders and headed toward the rendezvous point.
On the way, Zhang San even remarked:
"Old Li, you really have to hand it to them. The bearing on these two is even more imposing than the county magistrate in our district."
"Their weight in this Tazhai Village is definitely not low!"
The two of them were in high spirits, feeling that this mission had been a complete success! It was enough to wash away the humiliation and frustration they had suffered during the day.
Once they returned, when Zhang Youqian saw this, he would surely give them a pleasant surprise!
-------------------------------
On the other side of Tazhai.
Wang Dalong and Zhao Wu were weaving through the alleys when they suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps.
Exchanging a glance, they immediately ducked out of sight.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud~"
The footsteps drew closer, and a figure turned into the alley where the two were hiding.
illuminated by the streetlamp, Wang Dalong recognized the person at a single glance!
"It's him!"
Wang Dalong's breathing grew heavier as he involuntarily let out a low gasp.
Zhao Wu was also somewhat excited: "This is the punk who's been setting traps for us all day."
The person walking toward them was none other than Lin Wentong.
"This kid holds quite a bit of weight in this village. Seems like he's the head of the Third Branch, meaning... the number three guy?!"
"In that case, he's the one!"
Wang Dalong clenched his fists tightly and licked his lips!
He had long wanted to give Lin Wentong a severe beating; he never expected the opportunity to present itself so soon!
Hiding in the corner, the two waited until Lin Wentong drew near.
Sudden violence erupted as Wang Dalong threw a punch straight at him, landing a vicious blow squarely on his back.
"Bang~"
With a muffled thud, Lin Wentong collapsed face-first onto the ground—he had been knocked out cold with a single punch!
"So fragile?" Wang Dalong was momentarily stunned, never imagining that a punch to the back could knock this pretty boy unconscious.
His contempt for Lin Wentong grew even stronger.
"I originally wanted to torture him a bit, but whatever, let's just drag him away. There will be plenty of time once he wakes up!" Wang Dalong said coldly.
Torturing an unconscious person was about as fun as drinking iced red tea without any ice—utterly devoid of amusement.
Zhao Wu heaved the unconscious Lin Wentong onto his shoulder, and the two headed toward the rendezvous point.
"Huh?" Zhao Wu paused in his tracks, feeling as though the guy on his shoulder had just twitched.
"What?" Wang Dalong asked, noticing him stop.
"Nothing? I might have just imagined it." Zhao Wu waved his hand and kept walking.
"Sigh." Lin Wentong let out a silent sigh inwardly. The posture just now had been thoroughly uncomfortable, so he had simply shifted his body to find a more comfortable position.
Although he possessed the [Like a Shadow] skill, this ability didn't literally turn him into a shadow; rather, it simply allowed him to tail a target like a shadow without being detected.
Of course!
He could easily beat Wang Dalong and the other guy to a pulp and use sheer force to compel them to take him to their boss, but that would be far too troublesome.
Furthermore, it might alert the enemy in advance.
Therefore, Lin Wentong deemed this the safest course of action.
----------------------------------------
Before long, both parties arrived at the agreed-upon location.
"Brother Long, these two are the ones we snatched from the Audi. Judging by their attire, temperament, and status, they are definitely big shots."
Zhang San and Li Si reported with an air of triumphant smugness.
As for whether they might be people from this Tazhai Village?
The two of them hadn't even considered it!
To be wandering around this village in the middle of the night, could they possibly *not* be locals?
Wang Dalong glanced at the two men they had brought along. Naturally, he failed to recognize Li Weimin's identity, just as he failed to recognize Fan Nong, who hailed from the capital.
"Good job!"
He eventually offered a word of praise.
"An Audi?" Lin Wentong, however, felt a twinge of puzzlement. Since when did anyone in Tazhai drive an Audi?
Climbing over a wall, the group piled into a van.
They stepped on the gas and sped toward Wang Dalong's martial arts gym.
"Boss, this operation was an absolute success! We've kidnapped three high-ranking executives from Tazhai!"
Along the way, Wang Dalong called Zhang Youqian.
"Good! Bring them to the gym, I'm heading over right now!" Zhang Youqian said with a sense of gratification.
"So what if violent debt collection failed? It just means the method of recovering the money changed from thirty-six strategies to thirty-five!" Zhang Youqian sneered inwardly.
"Boss, I've prepared a surprise for you this time as well!" Wang Dalong hung up the phone immediately after speaking, referring to Lin Wentong when he mentioned the "surprise."
'Bringing the mastermind who scammed us out of five million will definitely give the boss a nice surprise!'
The call disconnected.
Zhang Youqian's right eyelid suddenly began to twitch wildly. Paying it no mind, he let out a cold laugh: "I'll make you all witness the consequences of refusing to repay your debts!"
