Lawless Gangster

Chapter 71

Xiao Li got up and walked to over to open the door while the person continued to roar. However, before he could, the door was busted open and the police rushed in.

"Inspect! Go in!" That loud man walked in while commanding his men. "You guy, take those two into custody."

The men outside the door complied and dragged those two guards—who yelled and cursed—away.

That officer shoved Xiao Li to the side, luckily it was not too forceful.

"Where is he?" The man asked.

"Last time I saw him, he was still upstairs in the room with the red door." Xiao Li replied.

The man simply said 'okay', thought about it for a moment, then took out a radio.

"Laohu[1], check the red door first."

"Understood."

The man switched off the radio, looked at Xiao Li and said, "Why are you so active this time? Aren't you even more determined about this than Sun Tingzhang?"[2]

Xiao Li snorted, "Commander Wu[3]you must be joking around. If Sun Tingzhang wasn't determined, would he really need your assistance just to inspect a room?"

The red light on the radio flickered again before a voice came through: "Laohu to Tank, we've found our target."

"Good, take him away." Wu Qing Hua put the radio away, looked at Xiao Li and laughed heartily. "I don't know what kind of relationship that person, Qi Xiu Yuan, has with Sun Tingzhang, and honestly it doesn't matter what it is. But Li Shi Qing capturing him is certainly a sign that he is trying to go against Sun Tingzhang. Since it's like this, it's only normal that Sun Tingzhang cannot be at ease. You, on the other hand...you're different," He patted Xiao Li's shoulder, "Although you're working with us, you've always been indecisive and worked half-heartedly. I still haven't seen you happily giving us any useful information, not even once."

"You still suspect there's more useful information?" Xiao Li gave him a cold glance.

Wu Qing Hua still had a bright smile across his face, "When I first received this mission, I immediately thought that something was strange. Then later, I suddenly recalled something...this name, 'Qi Xiu Yuan', sounded really familiar. Especially when I saw a photo of him, it felt like I had seen it somewhere before. Once I saw you, I finally remembered." He kept laughing 'he he he' out loud, "Daoba Xiao[4], I helped you destroyed information on someone when you were drugged back then—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the radio at his waist suddenly sounded again. The voice that came through was stern and full of urgency: "Laohu to Tank. The target does not want to go with us. His attitude is very conflicting..."

"What the hell! Even such a simple task requires instruction?" Wu Qing Hua yelled into the radio with a rough tone, "Bind him up!"

A loud static noise went off and no one replied.

Wu Qing Hua's expression was painted with nervousness: "Laohu? Laohu?"

An ear-piercing 'diiiiii' sound ruptured from other side, causing Wu Qing Hua to immediately move the radio away from his ear. Another loud noise came through as if the device was being debugged.

Before long, the noise faded and a man's clear and steady voice came through.

"Qi Xiu Yuan to Tank. Are you Sun Ze Yu?"

Hearing that voice, both Xiao Li and Wu Qing Hua became stunned.

Wu Qing Hua wasn't even able to reply yet when Qi Xiu Yuan firmly said, "It doesn't matter who you are, I won't leave until I see Xiao Li."

Still in shock, Xiao Li reached for the radio, but Wu Qing Hua quickly raised it up in the air.

"Shit! This isn't a fucking cell phone, do you want the entire operation team to hear you say sappy words of love, huh?"

Embarrassment crept on Xiao Li's face, stopping his hand in midair as he looked at Wu Qing Hua.

Wu Qinghua glared at him then pressed the radio button and cursed relentlessly, "Who the fuck gave him the radio?!"

Once again there was a noisy sound from the opposite side before an awkward voice said: "Laohu reporting, Tank...Commander...uh...you should come here."

"Damn it." Wu Qing Hua cursed and switched the radio off. Just as he was about to turn around, he gave Xiao Li another glance, "Come with me."

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment.

"What are you being stunned for?" Wu Qing Hua asked with dissatisfaction, "Although we are temporarily in control here, but who knows how long we can hold on over there. If Li Shi Qing returns, it will be difficult for everyone."

"If you have no means of taking him away, you wouldn't be a Commander." Xiao Li provoked him then said, "If I go to see him, it will be even more difficult for everyone."[5]

Wu Qinghua looked at him with sharp eyes, snorted and walked away.

Xiao Li felt an ineffable kind of irritation overtake him. His brows wrinkled together as he sank into the sofa.

Less than five minutes later, the door was roughly pushed open. Wu Qing Hua stood at the entrance with a frown and looked at with fire in his eyes.

"Stop fucking wasting time!" He angrily shouted, "Come here and handle this fucking Qi Xiu Yuan!!"
