Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, I manually shifted gears, and the car suddenly shot forward as if it had been disconnected from the engine.

There wasn't even a streetlamp outside the car window; we had to rely entirely on the headlights of a few police cars to find our way.

Everyone was worried that the Jinbei van that kidnapped Cao Jianjun's parents-in-law hadn't gone in from the main road, but from some side road.

Once that happens, they will be too passive.

…………

Just as they were urgently searching here.

About eight kilometers from the outer ring road, inside a dilapidated and abandoned warehouse.

"Dad, you...what did you say?"

Holding his phone, Cao Xiaofeng suddenly raised his head after hearing his father Cao Peng's words.

shocked.

By the time he tried to ask more questions, his father, Cao Peng, had already hung up the phone, leaving Cao Xiaofeng looking completely bewildered.

At this moment, Zhou Cong was already in a daze and somewhat neurotic. He was tied up and thrown in a corner, his mouth gagged.

Zhou Cong could only use his brain to push against the cement ground, his feet rubbing against the ground, slowly moving his body closer to his parents' bodies.

but.

Every time she was about to touch her parents, she was dragged back roughly and thrown into a corner.

After much struggle, Zhou Cong was finally exhausted.

She gave up struggling and just watched.

The elderly couple's bodies had begun to stiffen slightly, lying haphazardly on the ground, just as they had been moments before.

The seven or eight young men in suits who were in charge of guarding the area kept their distance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Reality isn't a movie. Although they were thugs, they weren't seasoned veterans who had survived countless battles. They were still genuinely afraid of corpses.

"Why the hell did you all come all this way?"

Cao Xiaofeng is back.

Holding his phone, wearing a dark red suit, he stood at the door and gave a stern lecture to several young men in suits.

Cao Xiaofeng has never killed anyone.

The deaths of the elderly couple on the ground were purely accidental, but he had no confidence at all in personally killing Zhou Cong.

So, Cao Xiaofeng came up with a solution.

He waved and called out the seven or eight young men in suits. They formed a circle, heads close together.

next second.

Cao Xiaofeng magically produced a long dagger: "Five hundred thousand. Kill that woman, and you can take it right away."

"..."

Seven or eight young men in suits paused, looked at each other, and no one answered.

Cao Xiaofeng's eyes, which seemed not to have fully developed, looked around at this and that, and after surveying the whole area, he immediately became furious.

"Nobody wants to do it, right? Fine..."

As he spoke, Cao Xiaofeng slapped the dagger into the hand of the person on his right: "Start with you. Go up, stab that woman, then pull it out and hand it to the person behind you."

“Each of you should stab her once, that will be fair.”

“Last night, I gave you an extra 300,000, so each of you could get 100,000.”

"Haven't I been fair enough?"

As he spoke, Cao Xiaofeng raised his hand and slapped the man on the back of the head: "What the hell are you standing there for? Go..."

"Mr. Cao... Mr. Cao, I... I... this really won't do..."

The young man in the suit was terrified.

If you ask him to fight, beat people, or charge into battle, he'll do it without hesitation; he'd even be willing to set fire to someone's house.

I'm afraid to kill.

"What do you mean?"

Cao Xiaofeng widened his eyes as much as he could: "Kid, two lives have been taken today, do you think you can still run away?"

“Everyone here is the same as you, no one can clear their name of two lives.”

"If you still keep that woman..."

As he spoke, Cao Xiaofeng pointed to Zhou Cong in the corner: "Once this woman is rescued, you, me... and you, you, you... you'll never get out of here for the rest of your lives."

72. The green vines have been caught in the net, but the price is a bit high. [7 chapters, please subscribe]

Seven or eight young men in suits looked anxious, heads down, glancing furtively at each other, none of them speaking.

Cao Xiaofeng watched with growing anxiety and a surge of anger.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Say something, say something, say something..."

however.

The seven or eight youths remained motionless, like wooden blocks.

"Grass!"

Cao Xiaofeng exploded, kicking the man next to him: "What kind of useless trash did I hire? Not a single one of them is of any use!"

"All of you, get your heads up and watch how I do things."

There was no other choice.

Although Cao Peng's words were rather harsh, they were absolutely the only way.

Kill Zhou Cong, dispose of the body, and end this farce.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiaofeng steeled himself, pursed his protruding lips, and blinked his narrow eyes.

Holding the dagger, Cao Xiaofeng turned and walked towards Zhou Cong.

The air grew increasingly still. Zhou Cong, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have come to terms with it. Even when she saw Cao Xiaofeng approaching with a knife, she remained silent, her expression eerily calm.

"Zhou Cong, you...you shouldn't blame me either."

The two knew each other; they were from the same village when they were children, even though they hadn't been in contact for many years.

“If you want to blame someone, blame Cao Jianjun. Who told that bastard to have evidence of Gao Mingyuan’s crimes?”

Knowing that Zhou Cong was going to die, Cao Xiaofeng stopped hiding anything and mumbled out the whole story, as if to soothe his guilty conscience.

"Who is Gao Mingyuan? You're not in Green Vine, you don't know..."

"But among the people of Green Vine, whether they are commoners or officials, everyone has to bow down to Gao Mingyuan."

"At Green Vine, Gao Mingyuan can promote whoever he wants, and demote whoever he wants; no one can escape it..."

"So, Zhou Cong, if I don't kill you, my whole family will never have a good life..."

Cao Xiaofeng's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly as he approached Zhou Cong, the sharp blade gradually pressing against the man's neck.

"I'm sorry, maybe in the next life..."

bang-

Before the words were even finished, a loud crash was heard, and the door of the abandoned warehouse was smashed open by a car.

The blinding headlights shone down, and then a second, a third, a fourth, and so on, cars with flashing police lights drove sideways.

"Don't move, police..."

Behind the lights, in the darkness of night, a loud voice rang out, startling everyone.

The first to react were the seven or eight young men in suits, who almost instantly turned and ran towards the outer wall of the warehouse.

It's too late, but it's soon.

One after another, figures sped out of the police cars, their steps swift and powerful, trampling the weeds in the yard, and began a life-or-death chase.

"My grass..."

Cao Xiaofeng no longer dared to kill anyone. He threw down the dagger and turned to run for his life.

Big leather shoes, tight dress pants, and eyes that can't see the road clearly—to be honest, you're at a real disadvantage when trying to escape.

After four or five police cars parked in the yard, all the police officers filed out and began the chase in all directions.

Lin Hao also came down.

Holding a gun in one hand and a communicator in the other, he immediately spotted Zhou Cong, who was bound hand and foot, in the light of the car headlights.

Without a word, Lin Hao led two police officers forward quickly. When they got closer and saw the two elderly people lying on the ground, they couldn't help but feel a jolt.

dead!

"Quickly, untie him first."
