While Gao Xiaofei and Fei Keqing were collecting evidence of Yan Qing's crimes, what was Ping An doing? Oh, he was fighting for his life!
After separating from Hei Dou, Ping An followed Wang Li and her group to the underground parking lot of a logistics building. It was already eight in the morning, and cars were gradually arriving in the parking lot. After Wang Li parked her car, she and her companions walked into the building. Hei Dou wanted to follow, but the place was too open, and a cargo truck accompanying Wang Li had not yet unloaded its goods. So, he decided to stake out the underground parking lot.
"I wonder how my master is doing?" Su Tang said anxiously.
"It's okay, your master is full of ideas, nothing will happen," Hei Dou reassured her.
After waiting in the car for about half an hour, Hei Dou noticed Gao Min riding a motorcycle also appearing in the parking lot.
"Gao Min! He's back! My master wouldn't?" Su Tang watched Gao Min vigilantly.
"Don't worry! If he succeeded, he wouldn't be back! On the contrary, if your master escaped, he'd come back to stand by!" Hei Dou said calmly.
"It would be great if I could talk to master! Yes, master doesn't know we're here either!" Su Tang said.
Hearing Su Tang's words, Hei Dou stopped talking and took out a small mobile phone, handing it to her.
"Before we set out, Captain Gao gave me and your master one phone each for single-line communication. Your master's number is 1. There's no signal in the underground garage. Go outside secretly and call him to notify Captain Gao to net them!" Hei Dou looked around and found no suspicious targets.
"Okay!" Su Tang happily took the phone, opened the car door, and ran outside quickly. This girl didn't realize at all that Hei Dou had deliberately let her leave.
Just after Su Tang left, a group of people suddenly appeared in the underground parking lot. They were armed with clubs and their target was clearly Hei Dou's RV.
It turned out that when Gao Min passed through the underground parking lot, Hei Dou knew from Gao Min's casual glance back that the other party had understood his "impure intentions." To prevent Su Tang from falling into enemy hands, he had to coax her out first.
As the group of people outside the car got closer and closer, Hei Dou calmly took out a gun from his waist.
"Alas, only six bullets!" Hei Dou gave a wry smile and took out a large wrench from under the car seat.
"It seems I can't shoot unless it's absolutely necessary!" Hei Dou got out of the car, stretched his neck, grinned, and charged at the group of people.
After leaving the "delivery legion," Ping An drove a "shared car" back to the "Toyota Building." However, Wang Li and Hei Dou were nowhere to be seen. He looked up at the building and felt that since she was Yan Qing's wife, she probably wouldn't be stupid enough to continue operating in the old place after her den was exposed. Moreover, since Hei Dou hadn't called, it meant they were still tracking that group of people.
"Ring!" Just then, Ping An's "single-line communication" phone suddenly rang.
"Master, it's Su Tang!"
"Where is Hei Dou? Where are you?"
"In the underground parking lot of the logistics building by the railway. I've come out, and Hei Dou is still in the car. Oh, he asked me to tell you that you can notify Captain Gao to net them!"
"I understand. Don't go back to the parking lot. Hide immediately, and I'll come over to talk."
"Also, master, you didn't bring your phone, right? Aunt Fei Keqing called me just now and said she and Gao Xiaofei went to the hotel..."
"It's only a matter of time! Why are you bringing that up?"
"Don't interrupt me. They found the key evidence of Yan Qing's crimes! They're looking for you now!"
"Tell Aunt Fei Keqing and Gao Xiaofei to take the evidence to the old apartment to find Captain Gao."
"Didn't the apartment get checked out?"
"Captain Gao is next door!"
"Okay, I understand, master, be careful!"
"Good girl!"
After hanging up, Ping An called Gao Liang again.
"Captain Gao! It's Ping An. Please bring reliable police force to the railway logistics building's underground parking lot immediately. Yan Qing's wife, Wang Li, is also suspected of a crime. Also, Gao Xiaofei will come to find you later. He has new evidence of Yan Qing's crimes. Please arrange protection for them."
"Ping An, where are you now? Are you safe! The intelligence you provided is very important. Find a safe place now, and we'll handle the rest!"
"No, Hei Dou is still inside, and I'm afraid he can't handle it alone. Hurry up and come. I have a premonition that the other party is going to run. If necessary, just stall them."
Without waiting for Captain Gao to reply, Ping An drove towards the logistics building.
In the underground garage, four or five burly men lay at Hei Dou's feet. The two or three burly men holding steel knives and axes on the opposite side hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to attack. Hei Dou wiped the blood from his face and watched the people in front of him with high vigilance.
After taking down four or five burly men in one go, Hei Dou was also stabbed twice, and his head injury was caused by the opponent using a brick.
"Come on!" Seeing that the burly men opposite seemed unwilling to fight any longer, Hei Dou suddenly roared to scare them.
"If you want to fight, fight! If not, get lost!" Hei Dou continued to scare them.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out. Hei Dou felt a heat in his buttocks, followed by a sharp pain from bottom to top.
"Damn, so slow, can't even deal with him after all this time?" Gao Min, who was riding a motorcycle, appeared from the underground parking lot passage, holding a pistol and said fiercely, "Why is it just him? Where's the girl?"
"Boss, we only found him, no one else," a burly man said.
"Damn it! Where am I going to find another hostage!" Gao Min said angrily. "Tie this kid up and take him away. If the police come, he can be used as a hostage!"
Suddenly shot, Hei Dou was caught off guard. The gunshot wound on his butt made him unbearable and almost fainted.
"You, and you, go lock all the doors of the underground parking lot. Hang up a sign saying equipment is being repaired, and the doors won't open for an hour!" Gao Min ordered.
Two burly men responded and went, while the remaining burly men pulled Hei Dou up and walked towards the underground parking lot security room.
When Ping An arrived at the logistics building, he found several cars parked outside the underground parking lot. After a brief inquiry, he learned that the passage doors were closed.
"Not good, Hei Dou is in danger!" Ping An had a bad feeling, quickly stopped the car, and ran towards the logistics building.
In the security room of the underground parking lot, Hei Dou was hung from a pipe by the burly men. Gao Min, through the surveillance equipment, watched as bags of "flour" were loaded into a cargo truck.
"Load the goods, and wait at the exit. Once the doors open, head to the designated location," Gao Min said in a hoarse voice.
On the open ground outside the security room, bags of "flour" were being loaded into seven or eight cargo trucks.
Ping An slowly entered the underground parking lot through the building's basement stairs. When he saw both Hei Dou and Gao Min in the security room, he calculated that by the speed at which the "flour" was being moved opposite, if Gao Liang arrived, it would likely be too late.
Stepping through the blind spots of the underground parking lot's surveillance, Ping An stealthily crept to the RV and then secretly retrieved the bow and arrows from inside the car.
"Go see if that kid is dead yet!" Not far away, Gao Min looked around the entire parking lot vigilantly and said, "The boss called, and that Ping An will probably come. This time, remember, leave no one alive!"
A group of people responded in a jumbled fashion and started working. They unloaded bags of flour from a box truck and, under Gao Min's command, loaded them onto different trucks.
"You're a tough kid, you're not dead even though you're bleeding profusely! What, do you want a quick end?" After assigning tasks, Gao Min walked up to Hei Dou and taunted him with a knife.
"Damn it, I'll cut off a piece of your flesh and see if you scream." Seeing that Hei Dou didn't reply, Gao Min was disappointed, raised the knife, and made gestures around Hei Dou's arm.
"Whoosh!" Just as Gao Min was about to strike, an arrow flew from a distance and embedded itself straight into Gao Min's left hand.
"Yo! Ping An is here! Grab your weapons! Kill him!" Gao Min looked at the wound on his hand that was bleeding profusely, his face contorted in pain, and said fiercely to his subordinates.
The sealed underground parking lot instantly turned into a battlefield. Ping An, hiding behind a car, had intended to wait for Gao Liang and his men to arrive, but seeing that Gao Min was about to harm Hei Dou, he couldn't help but fire an arrow.
This arrow marked Ping An's final counterattack!
A bald man with a cleaver cautiously moved through the gaps between the cars. Suddenly, his ears rang, and his left shoulder suddenly hurt intensely. An arrow, from an unknown direction, shot out rapidly, piercing his left shoulder.
The other person walking at the front, a long-haired man holding a shotgun, heard the bald man's scream and quickly crouched down, intelligently searching for Ping An's legs under the car. However, before he could see anything, a sharp pain struck his back, and he lost his balance, accidentally pulling the trigger.
"Bang!" The gun went off, causing the remaining people searching for Ping An in the area to stop. A few seconds later, these people unconsciously gathered together, seemingly wanting to "team up" to confront him.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow flew, hitting one of them in the thigh.
"Ping An is on the truck!"
"Surround him, don't let him escape!"
Someone with sharp eyes finally spotted Ping An, who had been hiding on top of a truck.
This was not good. Ping An's main goal now was to stall this group of people until Gao Liang arrived, and then it would be basically won.
Since the target's location was discovered, the remaining burly men were no longer afraid. No matter how powerful Ping An's arrows were, he could only fire one at a time. After a tacit glance at each other, these people prepared to rush forward and hack Ping An to death.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
This time, two arrows flew, hitting two people respectively. Only four burly men remained to surround Ping An. However, these four had already reached the bottom of the truck, and one bold one even began to climb onto the roof.
"Get down!" Ping An on the roof naturally noticed the burly man climbing up, so he stood up, aimed his arrow at the person below, and shouted to scare him.
Faced with the cold arrowhead, the burly man who had climbed to the car window stopped, but he didn't retreat. He looked up at Ping An fiercely.
In such a stalemate, Ping An was a bit at a loss. His advantage was gone, and he should have moved quickly. If he had known, he should have stayed hidden, but it was too late to say anything. Because while he was confronting others, a pair of hands on the other side of the car were already stealthily reaching for Ping An's feet.
"Ai!" Ping An, who was concentrating intently, suddenly felt his feet being firmly held. Unwittingly, he knelt on the roof of the car. He turned his head and saw a burly man on the other side of the car stealthily climbing up, pulling his feet down with both hands.
Caught off guard and with his feet held from behind, Ping An struggled, but he clearly couldn't exert any force. Not only did he not escape, but he went from a kneeling position to completely crawling on the roof. At this moment, the burly man in front of Ping An took advantage of the situation and quickly climbed onto the roof. However, as soon as his head appeared, his left eye was met by an arrow. Ping An released the bowstring, pushed the arrow, and it entered the burly man's left eye.
"Aiyahhh!" The burly man couldn't bear the pain and fell down, lying on the ground and shouting in agony.
Having gotten rid of the enemy in front, Ping An found that the burly man behind was still holding his feet tightly and pulling him down. Seeing that he was about to be pulled off the car, Ping An couldn't retrieve his bow and arrows due to the angle and could only shake his legs desperately.
One pulling his feet, one dragging his feet, after another stalemate, Ping An dared not focus all his attention on the front. He hastily looked around and saw a giant burly man with a cleaver charging at him from the side of the truck bed. If this stalemate continued, he would surely die.
"Damn it, come on! Let's go down together!" Seeing that he couldn't break free, Ping An sat up and fell off the car with the person pulling his feet. After landing, Ping An happened to step on the opponent, and taking advantage of the gap when the opponent fell to the ground, Ping An kicked him fiercely and quickly moved to another spot.
"Bang!" Just then, Gao Min, who had been lurking on the periphery, took the opportunity to shoot Ping An. This shot hit Ping An's right shoulder.
The powerful impact and the tearing pain almost made Ping An faint. Enduring the severe pain, he retreated seven or eight steps and hid in the bed of a truck.
The things on TV about people who were shot three or four times but still continued their activities were all lies! Ping An gasped in pain, gritted his teeth, and looked down at the wound, seeing a large smoking hole on his right arm!
"Damn it, the bullet went through, it hurts so much!" Ping An, who had some research in medicine, began to worry about his arm.
"Don't worry about him, hurry up and collect the goods!" After all his efforts, he had only injured Ping An, and his subordinates were almost wiped out, which made Gao Min very unhappy. However, since there were more important things to do, he decisively gave up pursuing Ping An and returned to the security room to continue loading.
In the security room, Hei Dou, who had been tied up earlier, was suddenly gone.
"Damn it, he ran so fast!" Gao Min kicked away the rope left on the ground and roared, "Hurry up and load the goods, we're leaving soon!"
It turned out that Hei Dou had quietly broken free from the rope while Ping An was fighting for his life and had secretly escaped. He first went back to the RV to get a first-aid kit and stop his bleeding. After hearing the second gunshot, he concluded that Ping An was injured and quickly took the medicine box to find Ping An.
At this moment, he heard Gao Min shouting to load the goods. Thinking that the other party was about to escape, he stealthily searched for Ping An. Finally, following the bloodstains, he found the truck where Ping An was hiding.
"I'm injured!" Seeing Hei Dou climb into the truck bed, Ping An's heart also settled down.
"Don't talk, let me bandage you first, we need to retreat, otherwise we'll really be done for today." Hei Dou lifted Ping An's arm and began to bandage him.
"Damn old Gao, why isn't he here yet! My arm is probably going to be useless! And it's my right arm!" Ping An gritted his teeth and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not that bad, the bones are fine, it's just a flesh wound," Hei Dou said. "I've observed that they are loading 'flour' into different cargo trucks, one bag per truck. Fifteen bags have already been loaded, and there are about twelve bags left."
"What about my aunt?" Ping An asked.
"She's somewhere upstairs, hasn't appeared yet," Hei Dou said. "Also, I don't know why, that 'flour' smells a bit fragrant, like the mellow aroma of tobacco? I can't quite describe the scent..."
"Hmm? Could it be that my aunt added a new flavor according to market demand?" Ping An said with a wry smile. "It won't work, Hei Dou, we still need to stall for time. If we can't catch them red-handed, then all our efforts will be in vain!"
"What about the trucks that have already left?" Hei Dou asked.
"Let's deal with what's in front of us first!" Ping An forced himself to stand up and cautiously peeked out to observe.
After Gao Min gave the order to move the goods, the remaining three or four people focused on loading the goods and temporarily ignored Ping An and the others.
"Let's go!" Ping An signaled to Hei Dou, and the two of them quietly climbed out of the truck bed and returned to the RV when no one was paying attention.
"Hei Dou, they took another truck just now, right?" Ping An fastened his seatbelt and said, "There's no other way. There's no signal in this damn place, and I don't know where Gao Liang is! Let's ram it! Use our large RV to overturn one of the waiting trucks at the entrance, block the gate and the road, and see how they leave!"
As a last resort, Ping An was forced to come up with this idea.
"Okay, put on your bulletproof vest. Gao Min still has a gun! My gun was also taken by them!" Hei Dou twisted his neck, endured the severe pain from the gunshot wound, and pointed to the one-key start button.
Gao Min's nerves had been highly focused. He had intended to finish off Ping An in minutes, but he found that he couldn't kill him after all this time. He still had a pile of "flour" to send out one by one, and more and more people were waiting outside the garage to pick up their cars. The original plan was to finish in half an hour, but time dragged on. Someone had already called, asking when the garage's entrance and exit would be repaired by this "security guard."
"Hurry up, everyone! Lao Si, go prepare to open the garage's entrance and exit. We can't delay any longer, it will be trouble when more people come..."
Before Gao Min could finish speaking, an RV suddenly sped over from not far away.
"Raise the ground locks! They're going to crash into the trucks!" Gao Min, with quick eyes, immediately understood Ping An's intention as soon as he saw the RV drive out and shouted for someone to raise the ground locks.
More than a dozen ground poles suddenly popped out from underground. The RV was a step too late and didn't hit the truck but instead hit the ground poles.
"Hahaha, sorry, you wasted your effort. Our work is done. Ping An, see you next time!" Gao Min excitedly jumped up and down on the spot, gave a middle finger to Ping An, who was sitting in the driver's seat with a bloody head, and then directed the last truck to leave.
"You son of a bitch!" Ping An kicked away the shattered windshield with his foot and roared hysterically, "Gao Min, you bastard, come kill me! Come kill me!"
"You're too calculating, but unfortunately, you didn't expect that the underground parking garage also has ground locks!" Gao Min took out his gun and said, "Since you're seeking death, I'll grant it to you!"
"Hahaha, do you believe the secret I told you?" Ping An, covered in blood, twisted his body forcefully inside the deformed car, but he was controlled by the seatbelt and couldn't break free at all. Hei Dou beside him had already fainted.
"You're lying to me, I don't believe you at all!" Gao Min became angry when he heard the word "secret," and then he suddenly raised his gun and fired at Ping An.
"How can you not believe me? Liu Juan isn't dead, and let me tell you another secret, she, she's pregnant. Do you think, do you think it's yours? Or..." Ping An said weakly after being shot.
"You're lying to me!" The name Liu Juan was a sensitive topic for Gao Min, and anyone who mentioned it would get angry.
Gao Min, somewhat dazed, walked a few more steps towards Ping An and shouted, "Tell me, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence!" Seeing Gao Min getting closer and closer, and finally reaching an ideal position, Ping An suddenly changed from his weak state, grabbed a long arrow, and stabbed at Gao Min.
"Ah!" Gao Min's scream echoed through the scene.
"Control the scene, evacuate the crowd!" Gao Liang, who was finally arriving, also appeared in the underground parking lot.
At this moment, Ping An, holding a long arrow, had its arrowhead in Gao Min's left eye. This sudden attack caused Gao Min unbearable pain. He dropped his gun and knelt before Ping An.
This scene was so familiar.
Months ago, another person, with an arrow in his face, knelt before Ping An.
Ping An was heartbroken and went into seclusion for seven days.
Months later, Gao Min, with an arrow in his face, knelt before Ping An in the same way.
Ping An was invigorated, and justice was served.
"You, go, die, now!" Looking at Gao Min kneeling before him, Ping An was filled with satisfaction! The scene of Su Xia's death flashed in his mind again. At this moment, he only needed to exert a little more force, and Gao Min would surely die!
"You, how, can, you, not, die!" Ping An's face contorted, and he spoke word by word, his hand gradually tightening its grip.
"No! Ah!" Gao Min's mouth widened in pain and gradually could only make sounds of "ah," unable to speak!
"Ping An! You've subdued him, and now you're going to kill him!" Gao Liang shouted at Ping An, "He's still useful! Don't do anything foolish!"
Gao Liang's words seemed to be filtered out by Ping An. He suddenly stopped his actions, tilted his head, his eyes red, and slowly began to twist the arrow shaft, deepening Gao Min's suffering.
"Ping An, I'm warning you, if you don't stop, I'll shoot!" Gao Liang threatened loudly when he saw that his persuasion was useless.
The arrow shaft slowly turned. Gao Min, now speechless, still clung tightly to Ping An's hand, but he had given up resistance and could only twist his head instinctively with the rotation of the arrow shaft in pain.
At this moment, Ping An was a devil. No one wanted to provoke a devil.
"Die, die, quickly, die!" Ping An's eyes were red, and he continued to say word by word, "Why, aren't, you, dead yet!"
"Die!!!" Ping An suddenly shouted, his body began to tremble, as if he was about to drive the arrow shaft completely into Gao Min's brain in the next moment!
