Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 681 - 523: The North Star, Guiding the Way Home (6000+)_3
The stench of blood hit him in the face. Shi Shengde was dead, yet Bai Sidong couldn’t feel any relief.
"Everyone be careful! There are quite a few criminals. Remember, don’t let any of them escape!"
After Captain B finished speaking, he gave Bai Sidong a nod and then ordered people to drag Shi Shengde’s and a few others’ bodies out.
"Captain, their action was even faster than ours, and their methods are incredibly ruthless."
The team member behind Bai Sidong frowned and muttered unconsciously.
Bai Sidong said nothing...
The sky was as black as ink. He was a detective, and his many years of investigative experience told him...
Group B had appeared at the port without any warning, and what’s more, they opened fire without notifying him at all.
It was hard not to feel that something was amiss about this.
"First, resolve the issue."
The situation was urgent, not a time to dwell on oddities.
Bai Sidong led his men around from the back of the warehouse, and outside, the gunfire had slowly subsided.
The bodies were piled together...
Bai Sidong walked over slowly. There were wounded among the police too, but the criminals were either seriously injured or shot dead.
Among all the missions he had carried out, never had there been one like this, as if it were a one-sided massacre by the police against the criminals.
To call it a massacre was actually not quite accurate, as the criminals did resist.
"These people were really not afraid of death, resisting even after being shot in the limbs!"
The captain of Group B was speaking...
All the lights at the port were on, the warehouse lights, and the huge lamps beside the roads lit up the whole port in dazzling white.
And the heap of criminal corpses piled together weighed heavily on Bai Sidong’s heart like a small mountain.
He vaguely felt that something was still amiss.
This unease, which kept magnifying in his chest, never allowed Bai Sidong’s tense expression to relax.
Until—
"Captain Bai, look at the sea! Is someone escaping?!"
A police officer shouted from there, and Bai Sidong followed the officer’s gaze towards the sea. In the instant his sight turned that way, the yacht exploded on the sea with a "boom" like a bomb had gone off!
"Damn it... Scared me to death..."
A police officer muttered in his hometown dialect.
The fire from the yacht explosion seemed to set the ink-dark night sky ablaze.
The black night sky flickered under the reflection of the lights!
Wu Rong limped out of the warehouse. He clutched his gunshot-wounded thigh, his face pale, supporting himself against the wall, walking out step by step.
A police officer saw Wu Rong, noticed his injury, and hurriedly ran over to support him.
"Director, you’re hurt! I told you not to come over here alone, but you insisted!"
"..."
"If I hadn’t come to hold things down, how could I have waited for you all to arrive?"
Wu Rong frowned and said to the officer supporting him.
"Director... how many lives do you have to spare for these antics?"
"Director."
Bai Sidong walked up to Wu Rong, glanced at his injury, and then raised his eyes to meet Wu Rong’s gaze,
"Thank you for your hard work... Where is Yin Shixiu?"
Wu Rong was injured, and everyone was on edge, but compared to Wu Rong’s wounds, Bai Sidong was more worried about Yin Shixiu.
Wu Rong took a deep breath and looked at Bai Sidong, then slowly shifted his gaze to the inferno still blazing on the sea.
"..."
Bai Sidong followed Wu Rong’s line of sight, eyes filled with the flickering flames.
A serious expression, eyes full of shock and terror...
Wu Rong’s face was weak, his voice sounded flimsy.
He stood next to Bai Sidong, speaking in almost a whisper that only Bai Sidong could hear,
"He shot me, took my phone, I don’t even know what he’s planning..."
"He was in cahoots with Shi Shengde..."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Bai Sidong’s family background was there for all to see. Even though Wu Rong was the Director of Public Security now, Bai Sidong was just a team captain in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
However, in the Public Security Bureau, no one considered Bai Sidong’s rank lower than the Director’s.
At this moment, with Bai Sidong’s shout, his pale face flushed red!
Wu Rong lowered his voice and said,
"Why do you think I came alone to investigate the situation?"
"..."
"The drugs found in the investigation in Beijing were transported by Yin Shixiu and his men, caught clearly on surveillance video..."
"I came to see if there was a misunderstanding, even if there’s none, with Shixiu being my friend for so many years, I have to save his life no matter what."
"But I didn’t expect, I hadn’t even had a chance to ask him anything, he shot at me on sight!"
Bai Sidong clenched his fists.
He didn’t believe a word Wu Rong was saying! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Then why did he call me?!"
"Ask me, I don’t know either."
"Group B came at the order of the Deputy Director, determined to thoroughly investigate those who transported this batch of drugs!"
"I was given the command when we were almost at the port."
"By that time, Yin Shixiu had already fled."
Bai Sidong pointed at the mass of fire on the sea,
"You tell me, is this called escape?!"
Bai Sidong took off his police cap, roughly ruffling his hair, and paced back and forth by the pile of bodies!
He furrowed his brow tightly!
"Are you certain, certain he got on this yacht! Why would he have a yacht left at the port?!"
"What exactly is going on! What is happening!"
Bai Sidong’s mind was in chaos!
He had no idea what to make of the events at hand!
Shi Shengde was dead, Shi Shengde’s gang had become a small mountain piled at his feet!
The notion that Yin Shixiu was in league with Shi Shengde was something Bai Sidong would never believe even in death!
But what made Bai Sidong’s head throb wasn’t the truth of what happened, nor how things got to this point...
But rather, the yacht that Yin Shixiu had been on exploded right in front of him...
The yacht exploded with a "boom," flames and embers everywhere...
But... where is the person?
Yin Shixiu... where is he?
Bai Sidong swallowed, his dark eyes filled with shock and disbelief, just like the sky-high flames burning.
"Direc- Director!"
Wu Rong fainted, and nearby officers exclaimed in shock.
The action team leader of Group B hurriedly stepped forward and carried Wu Rong on his back,
"First, send him to the hospital! All wounded are to evacuate first, the rest stay back to deal with the aftermath! Carefully inspect inside and outside the warehouse! Leave no dangerous items behind!"
Bai Sidong’s body was stiff.
His entire body was drenched with sweat, but the sweat sliding down his spine felt like ice.
He stood up,
"Notify the rescue team! Get in the water and save him!"
Bai Sidong did not believe Yin Shixiu was dead like this!
Just a moment ago, they had talked on the phone!
"Did you hear me! Call the rescue team and get in the water to save him!"
Bai Sidong said while not standing idle, directly running to the edge of the port, finding a fishing boat to venture into the sea!
