188: Zhao Zheng arrested

Zhao Zheng suddenly understood upon hearing this, nodded, and said, "Alright, Big Brother, these pieces of evidence are also handed over to you."

"Alright, you can take the money and scram," Qin Shou said coldly.

"Thank you, Big Brother, for sparing my life. I will definitely remember your kindness."

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed to hear this. He hadn't expected Qin Shou to actually let him go. He immediately kowtowed repeatedly to Qin Shou, then took out ten thousand yuan from the safe and quickly fled his villa.

Watching Zhao Zheng's retreating figure, Qin Shou sneered, directly manipulated his storage ring, and collected the entire safe into it.

Afterward, Qin Shou secretly followed, trailing far behind Zhao Zheng.

While tracking Zhao Zheng, Qin Shou took out his phone and dialed a number.

Yang Weiguo's mood could be described as terrible. Originally, as the Criminal Police Team Leader, he had performed excellently, and the higher-ups had decided to promote and reuse him. So, a few days ago, he had been at the provincial level, representing the City's outstanding police officers for training.

But what he never expected was that during the two days he was away, so many things had happened in the City. First, someone hijacked a prison van, rescuing Geng Long. The four police officers responsible for escorting Geng Long, Jiang Tao and Zheng Xuan, suffered minor injuries, while the other two police officers were severely injured and unconscious, still not out of critical condition.

For this matter, Yang Weiguo bought a high-speed train ticket for the same day and rushed back overnight. Unexpectedly, it was raining when the roof was leaking – shortly after he returned, the City was plagued by a mass incident due to violent demolition, and even a homicide occurred. He could now be said to be overwhelmed.

The only thing that brought him some comfort was that the culprits of this mass incident were caught on the spot by public-spirited citizens, and these instigators were quite honest in their confessions, quickly revealing Zhao Zheng as the mastermind.

However, having been a Criminal Police Officer for many years, Yang Weiguo instinctively smelled a conspiracy in this matter and didn't believe it could be so simple.

Why would Zhao Zheng, a gang leader, get involved in the Bai Group's forced demolition? Yang Weiguo instinctively felt that Zhao Zheng was very likely being used by the Bai family as a scapegoat, letting Zhao Zheng do all the dirty work and then using him to appease public anger when things went wrong.

But suspicion was one thing; Yang Weiguo knew that action required evidence. Moreover, the Bai family had deep roots, and the City's top official was from the Bai family. This was not something Yang Weiguo could touch. As the saying goes, it's hard for an ant to shake a tree. Although Yang Weiguo had some criticisms about the Bai Group's unscrupulous behavior, he could only turn a blind eye, which was a basic quality for survival in officialdom.

Yang Weiguo was currently preparing to lead his team to Zhao Zheng's home to arrest him. It was at this very moment that he suddenly received a call from Qin Shou.

To be honest, he was very busy with official duties right now. If it were someone else's call, Yang Weiguo would definitely not answer, but Qin Shou was an exception. The reason was simple: he admired Qin Shou's abilities from the bottom of his heart.

"Hello, Brother Qin, is there anything?"

"Brother Yang, Liu Qiang accidentally killed someone tonight at the demolition site in the North City Suburbs. You should know about this, right?" Qin Shou went straight to the point.

"How could I not know about this? To be honest, I'm currently on my way to arrest Zhao Zheng, the mastermind behind this incident. Brother Qin, how do you know about this?"

Yang Weiguo never expected Qin Shou to call him suddenly for this matter.

"Don't worry about how I know. In short, I'm currently following Zhao Zheng. You can find him directly using my phone's real-time location."

"Is that true?" Yang Weiguo asked, surprised and delighted.

"Absolutely," Qin Shou affirmed.

"Brother Qin, you've really helped me a lot this time. I must treat you to a meal later."

Yang Weiguo had been troubled all day, and now receiving this call from Qin Shou, he was overjoyed.

"Don't be happy too soon, there's more to be happy about! I ask you, did Geng Long escape from your custody?"

"You know that too?"

Yang Weiguo was surprised again upon hearing this, feeling that Qin Shou was truly too mysterious, knowing everything.

"Of course I know, because he just died," Qin Shou said without reservation.

"Died? How is that possible? Who could kill him? He was carrying a gun."

Yang Weiguo could hardly believe his ears this time. He knew best how formidable Geng Long was with a gun, because back in the special forces, Geng Long had always been the best shot among them. Every time there was a firearms assessment, Geng Long was always first.

"Could it be you, Brother Qin, who killed him?"

Yang Weiguo remembered that Qin Shou had subdued Geng Long last time. After much thought, he felt this was the only possibility and couldn't help but ask in a lowered voice.

"Brother Yang, I don't know what you're talking about. I just happened to pass by and saw that he was dead."

How could Qin Shou leave such a trap for himself? He immediately brushed it off.

"I understand. He deserved to die, but it's a pity I didn't kill him myself. Brother Qin, I will try to handle this matter discreetly. Thank you, no matter what, this time."

Yang Weiguo took a deep breath, knowing that some things were better left unclear.

Yang Weiguo knew that Geng Long was very vengeful and always retaliated. He guessed that Geng Long was probably unwilling to accept being subdued by Qin Shou last time, went to cause trouble for Qin Shou, and ended up being killed by Qin Shou in return.

Speaking of which, Zhao Zheng left the villa, called a Ride-hailing service, and headed directly to the Sha River pier.

The Sha River is a large river within the City, hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters deep, flowing directly into the Yangtze River, making it an important river for the City's water transport.

Zhao Zheng had already contacted his subordinates and prepared a cargo ship. He planned to disguise himself as a crew member, travel with the cargo ship, and after entering the Yangtze River, directly head out to sea. Then he would be completely safe.

Zhao Zheng leaned back in the rear seat, calmed his emotions slightly, took out his phone, and casually scrolled through short videos.

He saw that the internet was now flooded with news about the gang's accidental killing of someone tonight.

What angered Zhao Zheng the most was that he also came across a video of Fan Jian calming the public's emotions and promising reasonable compensation to local residents.

Because of this video as evidence, public opinion online was now one-sided, blaming all responsibility on the gang and those greedy troublemakers. The Bai Group, on the other hand, had become a 'white lotus,' a victim, practically as pure as could be.

Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth in hatred watching this video, secretly vowing that if he ever made a comeback, he would definitely get revenge on the Bai family.

However, unfortunately, imagination was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

Zhao Zheng was in the Ride-hailing service car, and just as he arrived at the Sha River pier, seven or eight police cars suddenly drove up, surrounding him completely.

"Don't move!"

As soon as Zhao Zheng got out of the car, he saw more than a dozen guns pointed at his head, knowing that he was completely done for this time.

"I want to see the Discipline Inspection Commission. I have important matters to report to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Zhao Zheng thought to himself, since I have no way out anyway, and the Bai family treated me like this tonight, even if I die, I absolutely cannot let the Bai family off easy.

"Hmph! The Discipline Inspection Commission is not something you can just see whenever you want. Handcuff him and take him away."

Yang Weiguo snorted coldly, ordered the police officers nearby to handcuff Zhao Zheng, and directly took him into the police car.

Qin Shou watched Zhao Zheng being arrested by Yang Weiguo from afar, a satisfied cold smile playing on his lips. He then directly called Ren Jing.

Zhao Zheng might not be able to see the Discipline Inspection Commission, but once Qin Shou handed over the evidence he had to Ren Jing, the Discipline Inspection Commission would definitely intervene.
