I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 289 - 190: Enemy Attack

"Confessed? As expected, it’s that traitor eating from inside and out!"

Seeing Chata admit it, Manager Wu was seething with anger. It was this guy who caused their department to suffer heavy losses; no one could expect to get their performance bonuses and salaries.

Li Xiang simply smiled silently. Getting a confession under coercion wasn’t just lip service!

Even the most resilient person would confess to whatever wrongdoing after enduring a week of inhumane torture!

Chata was just a regular person. To withstand Manager Wen’s merciless torture for seven days was remarkable.

"Let’s go, we want to see Chata in person!"

Li Xiang was willing to accompany Manager Wu, just to see how badly Chata was beaten!

"Alright, I’ll take you there!"

Manager Wen led the way, taking the two to a warehouse. What they saw was someone lying motionless on the ground!

"Is he dead?"

Manager Wu thought Chata was dead, while Manager Wen added, "Not yet, he was drinking water this morning. Someone, pour a bucket of water on him!"

Li Xiang waved his hand, indicating the two guards needn’t bother: "Getting water is a hassle. Isn’t there a cross? Put him up on it for Manager Wu to see."

The guards looked at Manager Wen, and after seeing him nod, they hoisted the limp Chata up like a sack of mud and fixed him onto the cross.

After being manhandled, Chata slowly came back to consciousness.

After a week of torture, where was the Chata from a week ago?

His hair was disheveled, his face covered in wounds, and his clothes were tattered from the whipping. From the torn areas, there wasn’t a spot on him that remained unblemished, with burn marks from electric batons everywhere.

Seeing him in this state, Li Xiang was immensely satisfied!

Chata slowly raised his head, and the moment his vacant eyes landed on Li Xiang, a murderous look appeared. His cracked lips bled again from the excitement:

"You set me up, you cold-blooded bastard Wen, helping him trap me, even as a ghost I won’t let you off!"

During this week, Chata figured it out: the USB incident was Shao Gang framing him, all to avenge that gunshot!

Him being "coincidentally" spotted by Shao Gang when meeting Miao Wenjing was likely because he had already been discarded by Manager Wen.

He knew too many of Manager Wen’s secrets, especially that every plan against Shao Gang was his to execute.

It would have been fine if Shao Gang had died—they could start anew.

But now Shao Gang wasn’t dead; instead, his reputation and power were growing. What would happen if one day he found out it was Manager Wen who wanted him dead?

He knew too much and was always a ticking bomb for Manager Wen.

Thus, he had to die. This time, Manager Wen’s arranging for him to meet Miao Wenjing to plan against Shao Gang was probably part of the plan to furnish evidence to Shao Gang, thus selling Chata’s life for a favor.

The human heart is complex. Facing a life-and-death moment, Chata utterly lost faith in Manager Wen, thus the vicious cursing!

"Still arguing at death’s door, does disputing facts have any meaning? Gangzi, I also regret what happened to Shengjiao. You can handle Chata as you wish now."

Manager Wen handed over a gun, ready to pass it to Shao Gang for retribution.

Shao Gang shook his head and said, "He’s your man, Manager Wen. I won’t take it upon myself."

Seeing Manager Wen still handing the gun to Shao Gang at the last moment, Chata realized he was right—he had been completely discarded by Wen and was utterly disheartened.

With red eyes, he continued to curse: "Shao Gang, you idiot, truly think Wen is a good guy? The night Shengjiao died, it was..."

Bang—

Before Chata could finish, realizing the danger, Manager Wen decisively turned the gun on Chata, shooting him in the forehead, ending his wretched life.

"You two, dig a pit and bury him."

Manager Wen immediately ordered the two guards to drag Chata’s body out and bury it.

However, Chata’s final words led Shao Gang to some associations.

Perhaps that night, it wasn’t by chance that Chata appeared there; someone had sent him. Who could compel him to go?

Shao Gang looked at Manager Wen, who was instructing the guards to handle Chata’s aftermath.

The one who arranged for Chata to assassinate him that night could only have been Manager Wen.

Initially, he thought it was just Chata not liking him and wanting him dead, but now it seemed more people disliked him.

And fittingly, he liked how these people hated him but couldn’t take him out.

Especially now, having sown discord between Manager Wen and Chata, leading to Manager Wen personally dealing with Chata.

It was truly gratifying.

Suddenly, a series of rapid gunshots rang out. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The entire compound erupted instantly, and alarms blared throughout the place.

This confused Shao Gang, unsure of what was happening. The last time the compound alarms sounded was when Chengcheng escaped, but back then the gunfire wasn’t this intense.

Ring ring—

The next second, Manager Wen’s phone rang.

"What’s happening outside?"

"It’s not good, Manager Wen. Someone’s attacking, requesting backup, backup."

On the phone, the guard’s voice was heart-wrenchingly dire; even without loudspeaker, Shao Gang and the others could clearly hear it.
