144: Matryoshka dolls, police standoff with criminals!

This is no time for jokes.

Didn't they just kidnap a girl with absolutely no background?

Why is someone from the Xinyi Group coming out to settle the matter?

Are they really planning to go this far?

The Xinyi Group has always held great prestige in their circle.

Moreover, I heard that the ownership changed hands recently, which sparked a long discussion.

Many people wanted to defect to them: first, they were afraid of retaliation from Master Ma; second, they were afraid the Xinyi Group wouldn't accept them. Being rejected by both sides would be problematic.

“That's right.”

Yezu smiled.

“Hand over the person, and we can let you go.”

“Or, why don't you just release her?”

The Tall, Skinny Man and the Short, Fat Man exchanged glances.

Looking at the posture of the Xinyi Group opposite them,

if they didn't hand over the person, they wouldn't be leaving intact today.

Since they are here, it means they prepared long ago.

At the end of the day, they only had three people. How could they fight back?

“Hahaha, the Xinyi Group? I've heard about them for a long time, but I didn't expect to have the honor of seeing them today!”

Just then, several more cars arrived, circling the outside and surrounding the Xinyi Group's vehicles.

The person leading them was none other than the Bearded Man.

“It's you?”

Yezu looked at the Bearded Man.

She recalled him.

“You were involved in the recent incidents of sabotage in Jiangcheng, weren't you? How dare you show your face here?”

“Ridiculous! Who can stop me from doing what I want?”

The Bearded Man chuckled.

“I'm taking this woman, no matter what!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, “Go, bring the person out!”

He didn't waste time talking nonsense.

He knew the principle that villains die because they talk too much.

Now, he just needed to hurry up, take the person away.

And quickly escape.

“I'd like to see who dares to approach!”

Yezu, leading a large group from the Xinyi Group, stepped forward, their presence intimidating.

However, looking at the formidable strength of the opponents,

who even possessed firearms.

She couldn't help but think.

“Didn't Master notify the police? Why aren't they here yet? Did they take a wrong turn?”

They wouldn't really wait until both sides were completely exhausted, like in the movies, before coming in for the cleanup, would they?

“Stop wasting words with them, hurry up and attack!”

The Bearded Man glanced at the time and urged them on.

He wasn't making such a big fuss just for one woman.

Rather, he had long wanted to wrestle with the Xinyi Group.

He had originally planned to come and meet up early today, but then discovered.

Xiong Tingting could actually command the Xinyi Group.

It seems that Zhang Yu, whom Ma Weiguo mentioned,

his background truly wasn't simple.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Then.

A group of subordinates, wielding various weapons, lunged toward Yezu and her people.

After a round of fighting.

Even though Yezu and her team were skilled fighters, they hadn't anticipated that the other side had so many people and brought so many weapons.

The fighting was extremely fierce.

The Bearded Man couldn't help but feel smug. “Hurry up and take the person away, make haste! And tie up that woman, take her too!”

He noticed that Yezu was fierce and a very capable fighter.

He couldn't help but have other ideas.

“I'd like to see who dares to approach!”

Blood was flowing from Yezu's head.

She held a dagger, which was stained with blood.

It was unclear whose blood it was.

The incident happened suddenly, leaving no time for detailed preparations.

Even though she alone had taken down over a dozen opponents,

she still couldn't overcome the sheer number of enemies.

“Noisy!”

The Bearded Man grew impatient.

He went up and delivered a flying kick.

Yezu blocked with both hands, but the force of the kick still sent her staggering back a few steps.

“Everyone stop! We are the Jiangcheng Police!”

At this moment, police sirens blared.

Su Guoqiang arrived quickly at the scene,

leading fully armed police officers.

As soon as they got out of the cars, they quickly deployed, and dark muzzles of guns

were aimed at everyone in the center.

Su Guoqiang got out of the car.

He was surprised to find that there were actually two groups of people at the scene.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

But it was certainly safe to assume that one faction was taking orders from Zhang Yu.

When did he acquire underground influence?

And he even called him, asking him to mobilize officers? What exactly was his game?

However.

Regardless of who was involved,

this was definitely a major, rare case.

Then.

Su Guoqiang's gaze swept around, and when he saw the Bearded Man, he realized.

“Baishan, I've been looking for you desperately! So, you really were behind the recent cases in Jiangcheng!”

“So what if I was?”

Baishan laughed.

“I really didn't expect you to arrive so quickly.”

He had underestimated their speed.

He had originally thought kidnapping Xiong Tingting would be seamless and unnoticed.

But the Xinyi Group's arrival delayed his progress.

Just as he gained the upper hand, the police arrived.

Man proposes, God disposes.

“Baishan, don't resist stubbornly,” Su Guoqiang warned. “Put down your weapons and surrender now to seek leniency.”

“Su Guoqiang, who are you trying to fool? I've been incarcerated three times; are you saying this to me?”

Baishan acted like a hardened criminal.

Moreover, he now had Yezu under his control.

“Do you know who she is?”

Baishan held a dagger to her neck.

“She is the Jiangcheng Head of the Xinyi Group, Zhang Yu's subordinate. You were called here by Zhang Yu too, weren't you? If this matter gets out, can you, Su Guoqiang, keep your position?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? I don't know them at all!”

Su Guoqiang retorted angrily.

But hearing him say this, could the Xinyi Group really be under Zhang Yu's command?

How did Zhang Yu, at such a young age, manage this?

And how should he face him in the future?

The Xinyi Group has developed for so many years and committed many unsavory acts in the past.

How much did Zhang Yu participate in?

However.

Right now, the most important thing was to ensure the safety of the hostage.

“Don't know them?”

Baishan laughed.

“In that case, the lives of these loyal servants of the Xinyi Group here have nothing to do with you?”

“Baishan. Let's keep matters separate. Do you think using them as a threat will allow you to escape?”

Su Guoqiang refused to give an inch.

“Then let's try to destroy everything, even if it means mutual ruin.”

Baishan pushed the dagger half an inch deeper into Yezu's neck.

Fresh blood trickled down her pale neck.

“Stop!”

Su Guoqiang roared.

The police officers also cocked their guns.

“Baishan, even if I risk losing my position, you won't escape today.”

Su Guoqiang also drew his service pistol.

“If you dare to injure the hostage even slightly more, I will absolutely fire!”

For other criminals, there might be room for negotiation.

But for Baishan, there was no room for maneuver.

He hadn't just started dealing with Baishan today.

He knew this man was inherently brutal.

The fact that a Three-time Jailbird could still be released meant some unseen powerful force was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

If he were allowed to leave today, there was no telling what chaos would ensue.

Therefore.

Su Guoqiang's finger was also resting on the trigger.
