Chapter 200 Deep Within the Cave

We had not walked far into the canyon before we could proceed directly forward. However, as we went deeper, the passage narrowed, forcing us to move sideways.

Later, I found the path ahead became even more difficult, with a suffocating pressure that made it hard to breathe. Just as I was about to gasp for air, all the officers behind me, also moving sideways, called out, "Team Leader He, we can't go any further!"

"He must be thinner than us!" one officer speculated.

"We're almost there, there should be a cave ahead. I saw someone lingering there!"

As I spoke, I quickened my pace. The moment I squeezed through, a gun barrel was pressed against my forehead!

"Don't move!" the person warned me vigilantly.

The police officers who were about to follow me stopped short in the narrow crevice when they sensed something was wrong.

I raised my hands. The figure shouted, "Drop your weapon!"

"Brother, I know you're tired of running. How about this, just come back with me, and I won't treat you badly!" I tried to persuade him.

"Nonsense! You police officers are the biggest liars. I saw others like me, who received gifts, all tricked by you. When they handed over their weapons, they cursed their luck. I won't be that foolish. None of you come any closer! Otherwise, I'll kill him right now!" The man threatened, maneuvering behind me and forcing me to follow him deeper into the cave.

"Brother, don't be nervous. You must come here often, right? Otherwise, how would you be so familiar with it? You're a security guard at the cemetery, do you usually have so much free time?" I asked.

The man retorted angrily, "What's it to you? Can't I come for a walk after work?"

"Oh, it seems you're quite thoughtful. This is my first time meeting someone like you. Not bad!"

"Shut up! You police officers are all the same, always trying to get close to people, then when you think they're letting their guard down, you change your tune and arrest them, right?"

"No, if someone is cooperative, we can easily handcuff them."

"Hmph, then he must be an idiot!"

Although the security guard was alert, the officers who had followed me quietly crept forward, guns raised and closing in.

"You bastards! Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

"Sorry, we couldn't do that. You've been arrested. We don't know your name yet, but you've heard what happened to those who received gifts, haven't you? If you don't want to end up like them, surrender immediately!"

The leading officer spoke with great sense, and without any visible nervousness, showing his professionalism. I was quite impressed by him at that moment and kept signaling to him, urging him to cooperate with me.

The officer quickly understood and said to the security guard, "It's a gun again this time, isn't it? What kind of brand is it?"

"Aren't you very familiar with it? Can't you tell?" the guard retorted impatiently.

"It's too far. Do you want me to get closer!"

"Don't come any closer. I know you're all the same, always looking for excuses to get closer!"

I shifted my neck slightly. The security guard pointed the gun at my temple and held me from behind.

"Calm down, big brother. Judging by your age, you must be married, have children. They would surely worry if they knew you were in this situation!"

"I'm divorced. It's because I'm a security guard, and in a place like a cemetery, my wife looked down on me! I originally intended to do something with this gun, but you came so quickly. I had no choice and planned to hide first. But you found me here, so I had to resort to this!"

"You can't escape! Sir, this place is sealed off all around. Lingering here won't do you any good!" As I spoke, more and more police officers emerged from the canyon, including Xiao Yuande. It seemed he had also tracked us.

"See? The situation is increasingly unfavorable for you. Do you still intend to resist? Now, there are over a dozen of us against you, which means over a dozen guns against your one!" I deliberately put pressure on him.

"You bastards, come on! If I kill a police officer, I'll commit suicide. I definitely can't escape!"

"Don't be impulsive, brother. Didn't you say earlier you were going to do something with this gun? Why don't you tell me about it?" I continued to question him. More officers were approaching. Although the security guard was constantly threatening them with the gun, the officers were no longer afraid. I watched his hands flail, wanting to make a move several times, but each time he thought of acting, the guard would point the gun back at him, as if he knew what I was thinking.

"Brother, you're completely surrounded. Officer Xiao Yuande is very capable. He's apprehended more criminals than you've had meals. If you don't surrender and get caught by him, you'll likely have a tough time."

"I don't believe you! You, Officer Xiao, right? You back off immediately!" The security guard stared dismissively at Xiao Yuande, who then threw down his gun and said sternly, "Then you better be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I didn't see him move at all. He had already appeared to the security guard's left. I knew if I didn't act now, it would be trouble. So, I moved immediately, cooperating perfectly with Xiao Yuande. One of us grabbed the guard's left hand, the other his right, and together we forced him to the ground!

"How did you do that? Let me go! Quickly!"

"Didn't you just say you were so powerful? With just a move, you were arrested by us. Come back with us!" I said coldly, handing the security guard over to Xiao Yuande, who easily pulled him up. As we left the canyon, due to the narrowness of the area, we had to carefully escort him out.

During the process, the man kept deliberately maintaining a still posture, as if trying to stall for time, but Xiao Yuande quickly subdued him and dragged him out.

Before returning to the police station, Liu Yuning called me: "He Sheng, have you finished handling the situation over there? If so, come over. It's critical at the amusement park, and we're out of options. Your uncle is still negotiating with the criminal, but it's not looking good."

"Alright, I'll transfer over immediately! Yuande, it seems I can't go back with you. You guys take the person back first. I'll come back after I've dealt with the situation at the amusement park."
