122: Confrontation with Wang Lin!

Under Su Yue's covert actions, most of the thugs active underground had been taken down.

Only one thug near the cold storage was left; solving him would allow him to approach Wang Lin.

Taking a look at the time, Gou Zi and the others who were first stunned by electricity were about to regain their ability to act.

Su Yue didn't delay and quickened his pace in the passage.

Soon, he heard a voice coming from ahead, which was the last thug.

The other party seemed to be saying something into a walkie-talkie, his tone clearly impatient.

"Where are they? Why is no one talking?"

"Big Eye'er? What the hell are you playing dumb for? Report your location quickly."

"Hello? ...Damn it, is this thing out of battery?"

Clearly, due to the thugs going offline one after another, coupled with Big Eye in the billing room being full of shock.

The walkie-talkie had been silent for a long time.

And this remaining thug was guarding the entrance to the cold storage area, just in case.

His search range was also extremely limited, and he didn't know what was currently happening.

Seeing the walkie-talkie so quiet, the thug even suspected the battery was dead.

And in this quiet environment, coupled with him not receiving any news from the outside for a long time.

Some inexplicable thoughts naturally surfaced.

"Hiss, it's so quiet around here..."

"Could something have happened?!"

Thinking of this, the thug's eyes widened a bit.

But soon he shook his head again, denying this crazy guess himself.

"No, impossible." The thug chuckled mockingly.

"There are more than a dozen people underground in total, can't they handle just one of him?"

As he spoke, the thug also patted the walkie-talkie in his hand.

Compared to something happening to the others, he was more certain that this damned device had malfunctioned.

'Tap tap tap...' And just as he was fiddling with the walkie-talkie, a sound of footsteps came from far to near.

There had been no movement for so long, but now someone was suddenly rushing towards him!

The thug instantly became alert, quickly pulled out the gun from his waist, and the dark muzzle pointed at the dim passage ahead.

He held his breath and concentrated, waiting for a figure to appear around the corner, for the owner of the footsteps to show up.

And just as he was holding the gun and ready to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, a series of beeps came from the walkie-talkie that had been silent for a long time.

Immediately a familiar voice sounded, the other party said in a hurry: "Something seems wrong!"

"Don't search separately anymore, retreat to the cold storage area now quickly!"

The thug heard the voice in the walkie-talkie with an echo.

He moved the walkie-talkie away and realized that the sound was also coming from the passage ahead at the same time.

Clearly, the person speaking on the other end of the walkie-talkie was the owner of the footsteps currently rushing towards him.

"Is this... Qi Ge?" The thug recognized the voice and muttered.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the gun in his hand was also lowered.

Then a figure appeared from around the corner, wearing the Water Products Company uniform, slightly stooped, and wearing a gray baseball cap on his head.

This attire, coupled with the voice from the walkie-talkie just now, made him recognize the person at a glance.

"Qi Ge, over here!" The thug called out.

Qi Ge seemed to have just seen him and ran over, panting all the way.

"What's wrong? What's the situation outside?"

As the thug asked, 'Qi Ge' came closer, but did not stand directly in front of the other party.

Under normal circumstances, mutual vigilance occurs when two people are about 1.5 meters apart; this is an instinctive function of the individual biological defense mechanism.

And under deliberate prevention, this range of vigilance will be even greater.

Therefore, 'Qi Ge' did not approach directly,

but deliberately stopped at a safe distance that was not enough to cause the other party to be vigilant.

He was about four or five meters away from the thug, bent over with his head down, hands on his knees, and breathing heavily.

This posture of his made it impossible for the thug to see his face; he could only see the brim of the gray baseball cap.

"Phew... don't mention it, we were searching separately to find someone, right."

"As a result, Lao Hei and the others stopped responding one after another, no matter how much we called, there was no reaction."

"I suspect that Yuan has been ambushing in the dark all along! I don't know what method he used, but he..."

What Qi Ge said was a mix of truth and falsehood, and the thug naturally believed it implicitly.

Because he had also been listening to the walkie-talkie, and there had indeed been no sound from that end for a period of time.

However, upon hearing Qi Ge's words firsthand, the thug was still greatly shocked.

So many people were searching, yet they didn't even catch the person, and instead were counter-killed by Yuan?

"Damn, is that true?!" The thug exclaimed:

"With so many of us, we can't even catch one of him?"

And hearing the thug's surprised voice, Qi Ge finally made another move.

As if he had just caught his breath, he slowly stood up and walked to the side.

"I don't know... but it's always better to be careful."

"I think we shouldn't run around aimlessly, let's just wait here for him."

"Doesn't he want to save someone? He'll have to come over sooner or later."

As Qi Ge's voice fell, he had already stood beside the thug.

"Yes, he'll have to come over sooner or later."

The thug muttered to himself, but didn't notice the movement of Qi Ge beside him, who had slowly reached out his hand.

...

This scene happened right under the eyes of the surveillance.

At this moment, Big Eye in the billing room was seeing it clearly!

He saw that Qi Ge was hiding something in his hand and had already reached out towards the thug!

Big Eye's mouth unconsciously opened wide, and a thought instantly surged.

"It's him! Yuan!" He almost lost his voice.

And the next second, a flash of white appeared in the surveillance footage!

The thug in the picture collapsed to the ground after a violent tremor, not even understanding what had happened before losing consciousness.

At this time, the entire surveillance screen was empty, except for Gou Zi who had just woken up in the Thawing Area, only Qi Ge was still standing there.

Big Eye stared at the surveillance footage, his eyes were almost popping out!

He never expected that his guess was correct.

Yuan really disguised himself as a thug, and had successively dealt with the others in blind spots!

And when facing the last standing thug, he didn't even avoid the surveillance camera!

Instead, he was under a surveillance camera.

He even did it right in front of Big Eye!

And it wasn't over yet, 'Qi Ge' in the surveillance footage then leaned forward.

He took the gun and walkie-talkie from the thug, and his movements looked extremely familiar!

He could even directly unhook the holster from the belt; it was clear he had searched countless times before!

Seeing this scene, Big Eye's back molars were almost ground to dust.

Even the area on his chest that had been electrocuted began to ache!

But before he could raise his hand to rub it, the next second, the thing he worried about most happened.

He saw Qi Ge... no, it was Yuan.

He threw the gun and walkie-talkie in a hidden spot, ensuring the thug wouldn't easily find them when he woke up.

Then he glanced at the surveillance camera and pressed down the brim of his hat under the camera.

He turned and walked directly towards the cold storage area!

"It's over, it's really over this time!" Seeing this, Big Eye shouted!

When he was searching for Yuan's whereabouts before, he was still hoping that the thugs could catch the person.

But now?

He had already gone straight towards Wang Lin!

Seeing that the two were about to meet, how could it still be hidden?!

Big Eye no longer cared about his inefficiency and how angry Wang Lin would be.

He swallowed, looked at Yuan's departing back on the screen, and slowly picked up the walkie-talkie.

...

In the sewer pipe, Liang Yuzhu was moving forward according to Su Yue's instructions.

And listening to the movements coming from above along the way, her heart became more and more amazed.

Although Liang Yuzhu could not see the situation above, she could clearly hear their conversation.

She found that none of the thugs Yuan met above could tell that Yuan was disguised!

"This skill in disguise and stealth is truly terrifying..."

Liang Yuzhu couldn't help but think to herself, while silently counting the number of shafts.

She had seen the layout of the underground warehouse before.

Each shaft is ten meters apart, and she had climbed for so long.

From the distance, she should be close to the cold storage area.

And just now, another familiar sound of electricity and impact came from above.

Liang Yuzhu was almost immune to this sound.

She knew without thinking that Yuan had succeeded with another strike, taking down a thug.

If there were no accidents, Yuan would tell her what to do next.

As expected, a familiar voice soon came from the headset:

"Officer Liang, the underground cold storage area is ahead."

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Lin should be there."

"How did you..." Hearing Yuan's judgment, Liang Yuzhu was slightly puzzled.

After all, the underground warehouse of this Water Products Company is so large, how could he determine the location of Wang Lin and the hostage?

But as soon as Liang Yuzhu asked the question, Yuan's explanation came from the headset.

"I paid attention to everything all the thugs said on the walkie-talkie, and from this, I can roughly determine the movement trajectory of each of them."

"That thug just now hardly asked for Yuan's location the entire time, which is enough to show that his task is different from the others."

"Moreover, he doesn't show any signs of having moved around, proving that he has been guarding this vicinity."

"If there is anything in this underground area worth leaving someone here to guard... it can only be Wang Lin."

Liang Yuzhu hummed lightly in agreement upon hearing this.

And Yuan's voice paused, then continued:

"Officer Liang, Wang Lin still thinks that Police haven't focused on him yet."

"The reason he kidnapped Lin Jia is also to silence her, and he never intended to let her leave alive... If I cannot ensure safety, I will shoot first."

As soon as these words were spoken, both sides fell into a brief silence.

After a moment of quiet, Liang Yuzhu sighed and said slowly: "I understand."

"But Yuan... I still sincerely hope that Wang Lin can be handed over to the court for trial, after all, there are many details in the smuggling case, and we want him to admit it himself."

"And try to pry out as much as possible from his mouth, which can also be considered that our police's efforts for so long have not been in vain."

"Of course, the premise of all this is to ensure your... and the hostage's life safety."

Su Yue heard this and appreciated Officer Liang's frankness.

It was just that her expectation was too difficult to achieve.

Wanting to capture Wang Lin alive in this situation? How easy could that be.

The fact that Wang Lin could appear here meant he must have been prepared to eliminate all potential threats long ago, and he wasn't afraid of getting blood on his hands at all.

It was just that he didn't know yet that Police had focused on him because of his information, skipping the scapegoat Sun Xiangdong.

That's why he kidnapped Lin Jia and was still quite interested in personally luring out the person behind Lin Jia.

Once he found something was wrong, Wang Lin would inevitably fight to the death.

Su Yue knew clearly that he couldn't find an opportunity to get close and electrocute him by disguising himself as a thug like before.

Because Wang Lin's vigilance was definitely much higher than that of this group of thugs.

And there were only two paths before him: one was to act against Wang Lin first to ensure his and Lin Jia's safety.

The second was to create an opportunity and find a way for Liang Yuzhu to capture Wang Lin, which was undoubtedly a risky path.

Su Yue thought as he walked.

He didn't make a certain decision in his heart until he was close to the cold storage area and two figures faintly appeared ahead, then said lightly:

"Officer Liang, I wish us a happy cooperation."

...

"Mr. Wang Lin, your subordinates seem to be in trouble." Lin Jia smiled sweetly.

She looked at Wang Lin's gloomy face ahead, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly when she thought of his previous performance.

What about having more than ten subordinates who could easily bring the person to him?

Now the walkie-talkie had been silent for a long time!

What about Wang Lin's group of thugs? If even one of them was still breathing, wouldn't they report to Wang Lin?

Hope ignited in Lin Jia's heart, and at the same time, she was inevitably a little surprised.

She only knew that Yuan had come.

And from the situation reported by Wang Lin's subordinates on the walkie-talkie before, Yuan seemed to be alone.

In this situation surrounded by powerful enemies, how did he manage to silently deal with that group of people?

Lin Jia couldn't guess for a while, and the current situation didn't allow her to think too much.

Because she was constantly observing Wang Lin's state; the other party's face had long been ashen, and even his clenched fists were somewhat white, clearly suppressing the anger in his heart.

Now Wang Lin was like a bomb, and there was no telling when he would explode and do something crazy.

And at this moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, someone hurried towards the cold storage area.

The sound of footsteps echoed extremely loudly in this underground passage, causing both Lin Jia and Wang Lin to look towards the source of the sound.

When Lin Jia heard the footsteps, she initially had a faint sense of anticipation.

After all, she was just a woman and had never experienced such a thing before.

Now she was just pretending to be calm; the composure on the surface was merely a performance ingrained in her bones from years of sales work.

But when she saw the attire of the person who came, the glimmer of hope in her eyes vanished.

Because it was clearly the Water Products Company uniform, one of Wang Lin's thugs.

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Jia's lips, and then she saw the thug come closer and say:

"Boss, the person hasn't been found, but there's something I need to report to you..."

Seeing this, Lin Jia leaned her ear to listen, wondering if there was any news about Yuan.

There was also a bit of a watching-the-show attitude.

Wang Lin was currently in a fit of rage and had nowhere to vent.

This thug was also blind; he chose this exact moment to report in person.

Wasn't this just offering himself up as a punching bag?

Clearly, Wang Lin was also truly consumed by anger and had some impression of the thug in front of him.

He was about to take the opportunity to vent his emotions and scold this useless group.

However, at this moment, Wang Lin's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

'Beep beep beep!' The sound was urgent and noisy, as if something very urgent was happening.

The sudden sound also made Wang Lin stop in his tracks, seemingly sensing that something was wrong.

And at the same time, Lin Jia subconsciously observed the expressions of the two.

She was surprised to find that at the moment Wang Lin stopped.

The face of the thug, hidden under the baseball cap, seemed to show a trace of an unusual expression.
