Chapter 955: Hitting Where It Hurts
The technician didn't know much, at most, he could become a tainted witness to testify against the deputy head of the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall in the future. After questioning him a bit, Luo Zheng had two detectives take him away. Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand also left, heading straight to the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall. The two of them didn't speak on the way and, once they arrived, got out of the car and went to a café across from the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, choosing a window seat. Luo Zheng drafted a text message about the situation and sent it to Lan Xue.
Not long after, Lan Xue sent a text back, indicating that the two should keep an eye on things first and not alert the enemy. She planned to gather armed police to help and sweep the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall in one go. It was hard to get a lead, and checking things one by one would surely alert the enemy, making it impossible to find anything. The best way was to swoop in all at once, then question them slowly.
Upon learning that the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall was opened by the Japanese Sanhe, Luo Zheng was naturally pleased with Lan Xue's thunderous approach. Sam's country agents were lurking, and the ones coming out to execute were Japanese, so there was definitely a connection. Luo Zheng looked into the distance and curiously asked, "Brother, you know this area well. How far is it from here to the Sam Embassy?"
"Just two streets away, straight-line distance is about 500 meters or so, why?" Ghost Hand asked in a low, suspicious voice.
"Nothing, just feels a bit strange, can't quite put a finger on it. Let's just wait and see." Luo Zheng said softly. The two chatted idly, pretending to be old friends meeting, no longer discussing serious matters.
After about half an hour, several armored vehicles roared in and stopped at the entrance of the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall. Countless armed officers jumped out and surrounded the hall. Moments later, Shi Feng led the serious crime squad roaring in, blocked the main entrance, exchanged a few words with the leader of the armed police, and then charged in with his team.
More police officers followed Shi Feng, sealing off the area, no one was allowed to approach to prevent accidents. Luo Zheng watched Shi Feng lead the charge inside and couldn't help but smile, whispering, "Brother, let's go join the fun, shall we?"
Just as the words left his mouth, dense gunfire erupted from within the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall. Shi Feng and others were forced out, several were injured, and took cover at the entrance. Seeing things weren't right, the leader of the armed police immediately dispatched a squad to attack inside. Tear gas went in furiously, but dense bullets came firing out from the door, hitting two armed officers. Their comrades dragged the wounded to the sides of the entrance as the situation grew tense.
Luo Zheng was shocked at the scene, his face grew stern and pale. The Sanhe Martial Arts Hall must have problems, and these people brazenly used guns, treating Beijing like a battlefield. It was too arrogant, too hateful. With a cold face, he said, "Let's go, I want to see what we've caught in this net."
The Sanhe Martial Arts Hall was tightly surrounded by armed police, there was no fear of people escaping, but the firepower inside was strong, and fighting like this would cause heavy casualties. Luo Zheng was unwilling to see such an outcome; he took the lead and rushed out, stopped by the perimeter police on guard. The two showed their IDs, and the police let them pass.
Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand dashed to the vicinity of the entrance and hid behind a car, shouting, "Shi Feng."
Shi Feng was troubled about how to attack inside; upon hearing the shout, he was taken aback and looked toward the sound, discovering it was Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand. He was overjoyed and rushed over, leaning against the armored car and excitedly saying, "You're here too, that's great. There are many armed personnel inside, how do we fight this battle? You should command."
"You're quite good at slacking off." Ghost Hand laughed.
"Many hands make light work, plus you're the superior here, it's only natural to listen to you." Shi Feng laughed.
"Don't rush the attack, just make sure no one escapes, immediately summon flash bombs and tear gas over, a large quantity, fire them in hard," Luo Zheng said coldly, not minding taking over command.
Shi Feng agreed and ran over to the nearby armed police leader, said a few words, the leader agreed fully, and contacted headquarters via walkie-talkie, while others stood ready. They didn't mind how aggressively the people inside the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall fought, as long as they didn't come out. Luo Zheng saw several armed police snipers had taken high ground around and sighed in relief.
At this time, the armed police leader and Shi Feng ran over; Shi Feng introduced everyone to each other. After saluting Luo Zheng, the leader reminded, "Didn't expect this to be a tough nut, headquarters support will arrive soon, rest assured. But, this is the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, a Japanese site. If the attack lingers, their Ministry of Foreign Affairs might intervene soon, we need to prepare early."
"Ignore them, if anything happens I'll handle it." Luo Zheng said coldly. The Sanhe Martial Arts Hall used guns, not even their Ministry could help; in Huaxia Country, using guns, what are they trying to do? As a soldier, safeguarding the country, such a thing is absolutely unacceptable.
"Understood." The armed police leader, also a hot-blooded man, fully agreed and commanded the team to hold the line. Someone from the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall rushed out, only to be shot back in by the armed police, leaving two bodies behind.
Seeing this, Luo Zheng was even more convinced there was something fishy inside. After a while, someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came, arrogantly shouting, "Who's in charge here?"
Shi Feng, the armed police leader, and Luo Zheng exchanged a look and approached, saying, "It's me, I'm ┅┅"
"I don't care who you are or want to know who you are, I just want to know who gave you such authority to attack international friends. This is a place for foreign friends, you fired in with live ammunition, what's going on? What are you doing? Rebelling? Immediately withdraw," the person said coldly, looking unfriendly.
Shi Feng didn't understand who this person was, and didn't want to say much, about to argue back when Luo Zheng impatiently came over, kicked the person to the ground, stepped on his chest, pointed at him, and roared, "Bastard, how much did they pay you to come and resolve this? Now I suspect you're committing treason, behave yourself. Brother, watch him, if he dares to move, don't hold back, just don't kill him."
"You——!" The person nearly couldn't catch their breath from Luo Zheng's kick, blood oozed from the corner of their mouth. Accustomed to comfort, how could they withstand such an attack? Seeing the murderous intent in Luo Zheng's cold eyes, their complexion changed dramatically, but they still forced themselves to shout, "You scoundrel, do you know who I am?"
"I know you're a lackey of the Japanese." Ghost Hand came over and slapped him, saying coldly.
Shi Feng and the armed police leader were stunned by this scene, but quickly reacted, feeling excited. Luo Zheng looked at the two, heard car sounds, turned to see an armored vehicle coming. The armed police leader quickly explained, "This is the backup from headquarters, the flash bombs and tear gas you mentioned have arrived."
"Then fire them hard, can you capture them in three minutes?" Luo Zheng coldly ordered.
"No problem, just watch," the armed police leader, fired up by Luo Zheng's fierce actions, fully agreed and ran to command.
