Chapter 48: Li Weimin Kidnapped? The Sea of Clouds Trembles!

Yunhai Provincial Public Security Department.

Seeing that a long time had passed and Li Weimin had not yet returned, his secretary picked up the phone and called him.

Logically speaking, as his secretary, he should always be by Li Weimin's side.

However, this time Li Weimin had stated that it was a personal matter and told him not to follow.

He dialed several times in a row, but each time the call went unanswered.

In the Audi car parked in Tazhai, Li Weimin's abandoned mobile phone vibrated continuously.

"This...!"

The secretary's heart tightened. Unless an accident had occurred, Li Weimin would never fail to answer his phone.

Yet he was not too worried; after all, the Deputy Director had mentioned he was just going to a village within the province named Tazhai.

It wasn't as if he had gone abroad. How could any accident possibly happen?

Besides, even if he were abroad, simply by virtue of being the Deputy Director of the Huaxia Provincial Public Security Department, no one would be blind enough to touch Li Weimin!

Are you kidding? Once touched, it wouldn't just be a "provocation" against Huaxia—it would be a complete declaration of war!

Though he thought this way, the phone still could not be reached, so the secretary ultimately reported the situation upward.

As the second-in-command of the Provincial Public Security Department like Li Weimin, his vehicle was equipped with a tracker, and the dashcam was connected to the internet.

The footage recorded by the dashcam could be retrieved remotely.

Of course, this concerned the privacy of a high-ranking provincial official, so naturally no one would dare to do so unless in an emergency.

The footage recorded by the dashcam was retrieved, and then the secretary saw:

On a rural road, two burly men, showing only their backs, were each carrying a person and walking further and further away.

"This!"

In an instant, the secretary felt an electric current course through his entire body. His whole body stiffened, his eyes widened, his gaze turned dull, and his cheeks trembled.

"This... This..."

He saw it clearly!

The Deputy Director of the Public Security Department had been knocked out and kidnapped right here within the province, within Huaxia!

"Slap!" The secretary directly gave himself a fierce slap. The burning, stinging pain made him certain that this was neither an illusion nor a dream!

"How dare they!"

Following immediately was a sharp, piercing scream!

The second-in-command of the Provincial Public Security Department had been kidnapped, and it happened right within the province!

Such a thing, unheard of in five thousand years of history, had actually happened today!

Where would the secretary dare to delay? Having encountered such a heaven-shaking event, he immediately reported it upward!

That night, the entire Provincial Public Security Department—no, the entire Yunhai Province—was blown wide open!

--------------------------------------------------

In the suburbs of Dongshan City, inside a remote martial arts gym.

This was Wang Dalong's "lair," where their gang of over a hundred people gathered every day when they had nothing to do.

Tonight was no exception.

Inside the spacious hall of the martial arts gym, over a hundred people were flexing their muscles and wiping their palms.

"Long Ge has brought back that fellow from Tazhai who screwed us over all day today."

"Damn it! We must teach him a lesson, otherwise if word gets out, people will think we're all soft persimmons!"

"Everyone wait, don't stop me, I'm going to beat him up alone and torture that pretty boy properly!"

"..."

Meanwhile, in a certain room inside the martial arts gym.

Lin Wentong, Li Weimin, and Fan Nong were tied up here. The latter two had already regained consciousness, while only Lin Wentong kept his head lowered with his eyes tightly closed.

Standing before them were Wang Dalong, Zhang San, Li Si, and Zhao Wu.

"Why hasn't this kid woken up yet? That punch I landed on his back shouldn't have knocked him out for this long, right?"

Wang Dalong raised his own fist, saying doubtfully, "Is the power of my punch really that strong?"

Zhao Wu smiled lewdly, picked up a basin of cold water, handed it to Wang Dalong, and said, "Long Ge, use this."

Just at that moment, Lin Wentong suddenly woke up.

Looking at the scene before him, he cried out in panic: "You, what kind of people are you? Why am I here?"

His gaze was a mix of terror and confusion, as if he had no idea what had happened at all.

"Heh~" Wang Dalong sneered. "Do you still remember who I am?"

"It's you!"

Lin Wentong let out an exclamation of surprise, as if he had only just realized the identity of the person before him.

--------------------------------------------------

Lin Wentong's performance was naturally an act, but... the bewilderment of Li Weimin and Fan Nong beside him was completely genuine.

"This..."

At first, Li Weimin believed he was being targeted for revenge by drug lords, and that Zhang San and Li Si had been dispatched by someone specifically to kidnap him.

With decades of anti-narcotics career behind him, he naturally knew the fate that awaited anyone who fell into the hands of drug traffickers.

Especially as a legendary figure in the anti-narcotics world, who knew how many people and shipments he had cracked down on in his lifetime, countless major drug lords harbored a deep-seated hatred for him.

Once falling into the hands of those people, his fate would be even more miserable.

Originally, Li Weimin had already prepared himself to die, but...

He suddenly discovered that these people who had kidnapped them seemed to have... no "interest" in him?

Instead, they appeared extremely "excited" toward that young man.

It was as if the hatred brought to this gang of "drug traffickers" by himself, an anti-narcotics hero, fell far short of this young man!

"???? Fan Nong's administrative jacket?"

And.

This group's style of conduct did not match drug traffickers he was familiar with at all; their speech and actions were more like a pack of street hooligans.

"????"

"..."

All these circumstances piled together left the experienced anti-narcotics cop Li Weimin utterly baffled: "What the hell is going on here?!"

--------------------------------------------------

'If it's not the drug traffickers I cracked down on before, then... why did this group of people kidnap me?'

'Moreover!'

'Daring to lay hands on me, the Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, let alone ordinary drug traffickers, even world-renowned major drug lords would have to weigh their options seven times over!'

'...'

For a moment, Li Weimin felt his brain turning into mush.

While he was in turmoil, Lin Wentong, upon seeing the two men, was equally bewildered.

'Who are these two?'

He had seen everyone in Tazhai, and Lin Wentong could be certain of that! These two men before him were definitely not from their village.

Noticing the national emblem pinned to the chest of Fan Nong's administrative jacket,

Lin Wentong narrowed his eyes: 'What kind of person wears an administrative jacket with a national emblem?'

Before giving him a chance to ponder, Wang Dalong's cold snort rang in his ears: "It's good that you still recognize me. You screwed us over miserably during the day today!"

As he spoke, he stretched his body, a sinister smile curling the corners of his mouth as he prepared to thoroughly torture the person before him first!
