Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

An explosion that broke the sky was heard at the east dock of the city. Thick smoke billowed over the sea, and then the flames of the burning cargo ship wreckage flickered in the rain.

Security reports kept coming from the walkie-talkie, and the noisy sound of rain was mixed with the hum of electricity: "The positioning signal of Brother Hu's yacht... has completely disappeared!" Pei Luonan clenched the walkie-talkie in his hand, his knuckles turned white from the force, and the pungent smell of gunpowder and burnt things lingered in the air.

"Mr. Pei, I will take a team to the port!" Chen Ming's voice came from the intercom, calm and decisive.

Without waiting for Pei Luonan's response, Chen Ming continued, "The technical team is analyzing the surveillance footage simultaneously. Before Brother Hu's yacht exploded, three suspicious individuals approached. Their clothing and physical characteristics have been sent to your terminal."

Pei Luonan lowered his head to check his phone. Among the blurry figures on the screen, the three skull earrings on the leader's left ear were particularly eye-catching.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the East City Wharf, Brother Seven stuffed his oil-stained helmet into his tool bag, turned to the two men behind him and said coldly, "The sponsor said that One-Eye and Scar also want... "

He pulled out his waterproof satellite phone and dialed the encrypted number: "Brother Hu's yacht has been reduced to scrap metal. The scene has been cleaned up."

Wang Xinyi's voice, after being processed and processed, came from the other end of the phone: "Well done, but those two fish, One-Eye and Scar Man... need to add more fuel to the fire. Remember, we can't let him speak alive. The deadline is..."

The corner of Seventh Brother's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, looking at the flashing police lights in the distance: "Understood, I'll do it right away."

The men behind him were using high-pressure water guns to wash away the bloodstains next to the wreckage of the yacht. The water mixed with oil flowed into the sewer, as if to wipe out all the evidence.

Brother Qi glanced at the tactical watch on his wrist. There were only 27 minutes left in the countdown - this was the deadline that Wang Xinyi required to complete the One-Eye hunt.

"Mr. Pei, bloodstains were found on the east side of the port. I have sent two teams to encircle it. There are 17 containers in the direction of the bloodstains, which have been marked on your tactical map." Chen Ming's voice rang out again.

Pei Luonan looked at the dark red bloodstains on the ground, which were winding like snakes under the rain, and whispered to the team members: "Be careful, there may be booby traps." The humid air was filled with the mixed smell of rust and gunpowder.

Just then, a sound of metal collision came from above.

Pei Luonan instinctively rolled backwards, and a homemade bomb exploded where he had just stood.

"Up there!" the team members shouted.

Pei Luonan looked up and saw through the rain that the one-eyed man's iconic metal prosthetic eye was flashing with a cold blue light.

"Everyone, pay attention and follow my command!" Chen Ming's voice cut through the rain through the intercom. "Team One, use flash grenades to force him down. Team Two, seal off the north and south exits! Team Three, check the 23 nearby drainage outlets to prevent him from escaping by diving!"

One-Eye leaped back and forth between the containers, continuously dropping smoke bombs and small explosives. Pei Luonan was choked and coughed uncontrollably, tears blurring his vision. He reached for the tear gas canister at his waist and hurled it forcefully toward the source of the smoke. The acrid smell exploded in the air, and finally, from above, he heard the muffled thud of something heavy falling to the ground.

On the other side, the scarred man was hiding in an abandoned fishing boat at the dock. He was covering the wound on his abdomen. Blood was oozing out, staining the bandage crimson.

The electronic clock in the corner of the cabin showed the countdown. It was the "surprise" he had prepared for Pei Luonan. With 4 minutes and 12 seconds left, his breathing became more and more rapid.

Suddenly, the ship shook violently and he heard footsteps on the deck.

"Pei Luonan, want to catch me? It's not that easy!" He gritted his teeth and pressed the detonator.

A huge explosion sounded, and the fishing boat was instantly engulfed in flames.

Just as the scarred man was about to run to the speedboat, Seventh Brother suddenly appeared with two of his men.

They wore black hoods and carried silenced pistols.

Before the scarred man could react, he was hit by a hail of bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

After confirming his death, Brother Seven said into the intercom, "The target has been eliminated. One-Eye is still being hunted, we'll go there now."

He checked the time and saw that he was 8 minutes ahead of schedule.

At this time, the One-Eye had been forced to the edge of the dock. His metal prosthetic eye was flashing with madness, and he held a sharp dagger in his hand.

Pei Luonan and his team members surrounded him in a fan shape, pressing forward step by step.

"One-Eye, hand over the USB drive, and maybe you can still survive." Pei Luonan shouted.

The one-eyed man suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of sarcasm: "Pei Luonan, do you think I will give in so easily? Let me tell you, the USB drive is no longer in my hands!"

Before he could finish his words, several gunshots were heard in the distance.

The one-eyed man's body trembled violently, and several blood flowers bloomed on his chest.

He turned around in disbelief, but only saw a black figure get into a black SUV and disappear in the rain.

"Everyone, give chase! Activate the 32 surveillance cameras nearby and focus on checking the black SUV!" Chen Ming immediately gave the order, but the heavy rain blurred the vision and the other party had already disappeared.

Pei Luonan walked to Duyan, who grabbed his trouser leg with his last bit of strength and said intermittently: "Someone... killed people to silence them..." He died before he finished speaking.

Pei Luonan searched his body and found only a piece of rain-soaked paper with the words "Wharf Warehouse" vaguely written on it. The edge of the paper was stained with some special ink.

Across town, in a penthouse apartment, Wang Xinyi was watching the news on TV about the explosion on Tiger's yacht. She tipped back her drink, listening to the shocked reporter's report of "a gang leader perished in a fire," and a silvery laugh escaped her throat.

“Finally dead.”

Her fingertips gently brushed the combination lock on the safe, and the door swung open, revealing two USB flash drives and a voice recorder in the sandalwood drawer. One USB contained fabricated evidence of Hu's crimes, while the other contained a transcript of Hu's threats regarding an arms deal. The voice recorder played Hu's raspy, drunken voice as he ordered the kidnapping of Gu Fanxing. As she copied the fabricated evidence files onto more than a dozen anonymous cloud drives, she muttered to herself, "Pei Luonan, Chen Ming, when you discover this 'evidence,' you'll think everything's over."

Wang Xinyi walked to the study, called up the surveillance system, and looked at the busy employees at the Pei Group headquarters. The smile on her lips became even more intense.

Then the video switched to the hospital surveillance footage. Looking at the unconscious Gu Fanxing, a sinister look flashed in his eyes: "The game is not over yet. I'm waiting for you. The plot will be more exciting later."

In a private clinic on the outskirts of the city, Brother Hu was lying unconscious in a sterile ward.

The blue light of the life support system illuminated the burns on Brother Tiger's face, and the USB flash drive in his pocket was waiting for its owner to wake up and push this hunting game into a more deadly abyss.

On the surveillance screen, the encrypted file sent by Brother Qi was being downloaded. The file size was shown to be 2.7GB, containing real footage of the entire operation and a recording of Wang Xinyi's instructions - this carefully planned hunt was just the prelude to a larger chess game.

At this moment, the technical department of Pei Group suddenly made a new discovery.

After a frame-by-frame analysis of 38 surveillance cameras near the dock, they found that 47 minutes before the explosion, a black SUV appeared three times near the yacht dock, and each stay was precisely controlled within 3 minutes and 3 seconds.

In the underground garage of Wang Xinyi's apartment, the administrator's log book showed that during the same period, none of the three cars under her name left the garage. Only the modified SUV, which had never been registered, disappeared from the surveillance blind spot at 2:17 am.

These scattered numbers, like unfinished puzzle pieces, are waiting for Chen Ming and Pei Luonan to connect them into the truth.
