Bai Jinghong nodded: “If you need anything for the investigation, just contact me.”
Wang Guoming nodded heavily: “Alright, Young Master Bai. Are you injured? Do you need a check-up?”
“I was in the car the whole time. I’m fine.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll head back first. Though I’m fine physically, being startled is real. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
After speaking, Bai Jinghong got into the car.
The car turned around and headed back the way it came.
After Bai Jinghong left, Wang Guoming’s face looked terrible.
In his heart, he truly wished he could catch those bastards and execute them on the spot.
A gunfight dare happen in China, and the ambush target was that prodigal son Bai Jinghong!
“Yanbing, what do you make of this?” Wang Guoming’s face was gloomy.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yanbing said: “The group that ambushed Bai Jinghong is not simple.”
“Just now, I saw that the palms and the areas between thumb and forefinger on the four corpses were full of calluses. These are marks left only by years of handling guns.”
“During the preliminary examination of the bodies, I also saw many old gunshot and knife wounds.”
“Before verifying the identities of those bodies, I venture to guess they might very likely be foreign assassins or mercenaries!”
This statement shocked Wang Guoming.
Damn it, foreign elements!
The nature of this incident instantly became far more severe.
Entering the country armed, lying in ambush to kill—this was a blatant slap in the face to their law enforcement personnel!
And how many had entered? What was the ultimate goal? Would similar incidents happen again?
Under these unknown circumstances, these people were all ticking time bombs right now.
“Leave some people to secure the scene. Search everything thoroughly.”
“I’ll take some men to escort that survivor to the hospital. You return to the station immediately and arrange the autopsy. Investigate the identities of the four dead men.”
“Yes!” Mu Yanbing responded.
“The current breakthrough point lies with that still-living guy.”
“You and I will take shifts following up on this matter. And regarding Young Master Bai’s side, you’ll be the liaison with him!”
“Huh?” Upon hearing this, Mu Yanbing was clearly stunned.
Her, liaise with Bai Jinghong?
“What ‘huh’? You were insolent earlier. This is to redeem yourself through good service.” Wang Guoming ordered.
“Yes!” This time, Mu Yanbing said no more. Indeed, her questioning earlier had been inappropriate.
The numerous police officers went about their respective duties busily.
…
Bai Jinghong’s side hadn’t yet reached the estate.
He was still happily smoking.
Although Chen Lin would find a way to escape responsibility, the process would definitely be grueling for him.
And he’d taken one of Bai Jinghong’s bullets.
“Young Master Bai, is it really okay to hand that person over to the police? Why not interrogate him ourselves?” Ah Kun asked.
Bai Jinghong only smiled.
He knew best what the identity of the ambushers was. Interrogation was redundant.
Handing him over to the police was the best course.
“It’s not necessary. The police will find a way to pry open his mouth over there.”
“But what if that guy turns around and bites us back, telling the truth?” Ah Kun asked again.
“The truth?” Bai Jinghong laughed coldly. “The truth doesn’t need explaining. The fact is, I was ambushed.”
Bai Jinghong wasn’t worried about this at all.
If that survivor talked, the one with problems definitely wouldn’t be himself.
Could he possibly invert right and wrong and say Bai Jinghong ambushed them?
His foreign status alone would expose everything. No matter how many mouths he had, it would be useless.
The one who should be having a headache was that idiot Chen Lin.
Just based on that failed “silencing the witness” attempt, Chen Lin probably wouldn’t be able to sleep for days.
After arriving at the estate, Bai Jinghong dismissed everyone and headed towards his own villa.
He really wanted to see what expression Shen Yaoyao would have upon seeing him.
Bai Jinghong adjusted his emotions, putting on a very displeased look.
Then, dragging his weary body, he entered the villa and plopped straight down on the sofa.
At that moment, Shen Yaoyao had long since come out of the gym but still looked distracted.
When she reached the villa’s living room, she suddenly saw Bai Jinghong sitting on the sofa, and her heart immediately skipped a beat.
Subconsciously, she scanned Bai Jinghong’s body for injuries.
Was Bai Jinghong fine? Or had he not gone out yet?
“Bai… Young Master Bai? Didn’t you go to the club?” Shen Yaoyao masked her expression well as she asked.
Bai Jinghong sighed: “Didn’t make it. On the way, a group of people rushed out and attacked me.”
Shen Yaoyao was stunned. As expected, a fight had occurred.
“What? How could that happen? Then… are you alright?” Shen Yaoyao approached him.
Bai Jinghong chuckled inwardly. This little lady could really put on an act.
“My bodyguards protected me with their lives. I’m more or less fine.”
“I just can’t figure out who they were. And they seemed very experienced—that kind of killing efficiency definitely means they were well-trained!”
“Ho… how could this be? Someone in Dragon Sea dared to ambush you?” Shen Yaoyao’s small mouth opened slightly.
Bai Jinghong smiled gently and beckoned Shen Yaoyao over.
Shen Yaoyao paused, then finally sat down beside Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong reached out and gently smoothed Shen Yaoyao’s hair.
“Luckily, I didn’t take you out this time. Otherwise, you would have been terrified.”
“Just in case something happened to you, who would I cry to?”
Shen Yaoyao clearly felt her heart pound heavily.
At a time like this, what Bai Jinghong was thinking about was how fortunate it was that he hadn’t brought her along.
A sudden wave of guilt surged within Shen Yaoyao.
“Did… did you get hurt?”
Her voice had softened considerably too.
“No!” Bai Jinghong smiled and shook his head. “Although those people were fierce, luckily, they were discovered in time.”
“Before they could even rush over, my bodyguards had already killed four and captured one.”
“The rest ran away, and we couldn’t catch them.”
Shen Yaoyao couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.
She naturally knew the combat capabilities of Chen Lin’s Underworld Guards.
Each one was a battle-hardened expert.
In an ambush situation, they were actually beaten off by Bai Jinghong’s men, losing four dead and one captured!
“That captured person should be able to reveal the mastermind, right?” Shen Yaoyao asked.
“Sigh…” Bai Jinghong sighed at this moment. “Handed over to the police. We’ll see what they do.”
“I have to say though, those guys were ruthless. When they found out we’d captured one of theirs, they immediately tried to silence him.”
“Luckily, my car had bulletproof glass, otherwise that prisoner would have been headshot on the spot!”
“And I vaguely heard someone shouting some Hades or something. A weird codename. Pity it’s just a codename and can’t be used as evidence.”
Bai Jinghong looked very regretful.
But these words sounded completely different in Shen Yaoyao’s ears.
Hades! That was Chen Lin! Chen Lin had also participated?
And he wanted to silence his own subordinate?
Those were brothers who had fought through life and death together with him!
Impossible, Chen Lin wasn’t that kind of person.
Shen Yaoyao suppressed the doubt in her heart. She believed Chen Lin would contact her.
As long as it was confirmed Chen Lin was really at the scene, she could clarify whether Bai Jinghong was telling the truth or lying.
Because Bai Jinghong had no way of knowing about Hades; there was no way he could just pull that term out of thin air.
“Yaoyao, I don’t even know who wants to kill me right now!”
“If you’re scared, you can tell me. You can leave anytime. Since you’re often with me, I don’t want you to get dragged into my troubles.”
Shen Yaoyao bit her lip, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Bai Jinghong without speaking.
Leaving was impossible. Her mission had only just begun.
But saying something to pledge loyalty right now would be too fake.
Bai Jinghong was just deliberately probing. Her silence was the answer he needed.
Seeing Shen Yaoyao not speaking now, Bai Jinghong smiled and lifted her up, placing her directly on his lap.
Shen Yaoyao let out a startled cry, wanting to struggle, but was held tightly.
Bai Jinghong’s face was inches away. He said softly: “Your silence means consent. I can’t bear to let you leave me either.”
“Don’t worry, I will protect you!”
