Chapter 41 One Life for One Life
The three gunshots terrified the villagers of Qijiatun who were following behind Li Youyu.
Qi, the headhunter, walked forward shakily, and when he saw Cheng Lihua's face, which had been smashed, he was so shocked that he took two steps back.
He had killed roe deer and black bears in his life, but he had never killed a human.
Seeing the mushy tissue radiating heat under the moonlight, a chill ran through him from head to toe.
This comrade who was with Scientist Ye was so decisive in his killing!
but....
Qi the headhunter tried to reach out and grab Li Youyu's clothes to make him run away, but suddenly, a police baton was placed in front of him.
"Scatter! Scatter! Stop looking, everyone disperse!" The old policeman waved to disperse the crowd, then confiscated Li Youyu's hunting rifle and used his belt to fasten his hands behind his back.
The old policeman had fought in wars and killed enemies, and had experienced many ups and downs in his life, but he had never seen anyone who could take someone's life without showing any emotion. This guy was even more cold-blooded than the executioner in the slaughterhouse.
The news was quickly relayed to the special operations team at the Red Coast base by the villagers of Qijiatun. Zhang Zhi'ao, who was stationed at the headquarters, was extremely anxious, his backside burning with worry.
The message was reported up the chain of command, and in less than two hours, a phone call reached the old man's desk.
At this moment, the old man was studying the international situation.
He simply couldn't believe that in about 10 years, the Kremlin's red flag would be lowered.
The phone rang, and the old man answered it. The few words spoken on the other end made his brow furrow again.
"Who is the deceased? Cheng Lihua? No, you don't need to introduce her, I know her. How would she know the details of the special operation? Li Youyu can't be arrested. Get everyone around to cooperate and go there to seal off the town, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. Send another team from the National Security Bureau to investigate, following Cheng Lihua's movements!"
The order traveled smoothly along this private telephone line known only to a select few to the county-level public security bureau.
Due to the poor communication conditions in the town and the intermittent telephone lines, the old police officer had not yet had time to report what had happened.
The county-level bureau chief was completely unaware that he had already finished washing up and was preparing to go to sleep in the duty room.
An urgent phone call jolted him awake: "What's wrong, Lao He? I'm in the emergency duty room... a murder? What murder?"
Hearing that the bureau chief knew nothing about the matter, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became louder:
"A man died in the street and you didn't know? I knew forty minutes before you, and do you know where I found out from? From the provincial government! Where's your county's report? You son of a bitch! You get to the scene right now, I'm already on my way, don't let me get there before you!"
The bureau chief was sweating profusely. The intelligence from the front lines had actually reached his ears through the provincial department—this information channel was problematic, very problematic!
If he doesn't handle this well, his political career for the rest of his life will be over.
The sleepiness he had just been cultivating vanished instantly. He grabbed his uniform from the wall, kicked open the wooden door, and shouted towards the empty dormitory building, "Assemble!"
Ten minutes later, two dark blue cars with flashing sirens sped towards the small town at the foot of Radar Peak.
at the same time.
Yang Weining was the first to wake up in the town's hospital.
Li Youyu's palm strike was incredibly powerful.
His neck is still burning with pain.
Once he regained consciousness, Yang Weining immediately jumped out of bed, rushed out of the ward, and searched for Li Youyu's whereabouts.
But the first person he found was Ye Wenjie, who was lying in the intensive care unit.
Ye Wenjie was on a ventilator and her whole body was covered in bandages.
Yang Weining's rationality collapsed instantly, and he tried to rush in like a madman, but was stopped by Da Feng, who had just returned after paying the fee:
"Xiao Yang, don't worry," Da Feng said. "Wen Jie is not in any danger, she's just too stressed. She's asleep now, so don't disturb her and let her rest."
"Who?" Yang Weining asked, his voice trembling as he pointed to the bandages on Ye Wenjie's body. "Who beat her up like this? Was it McEvans?!"
"Evans?"
Da Feng shook her head. "It wasn't a foreigner, but a woman in her fifties or sixties wearing glasses. She was absolutely vicious! I heard from my father that she used to be someone from Radar Peak?"
Radar peak?
Women?
Yang Weining thought of someone, someone extremely suspicious. He angrily squeezed out a name, "Cheng Lihua? Is that the name? Is it her?!"
Taiho nodded. "That seems to be the name."
Yang Weining's rage suddenly found an outlet. He grabbed a bench from the hospital corridor and was about to run out to find Cheng Lihua.
Da Feng quickly stopped him, saying, "Xiao Yang, don't go and cause trouble. Cheng Lihua has already been beaten to death in the street by Comrade Li Youyu."
beat...
Yang Weining turned around, incredulous. "What? Say it again, you killed him?"
Da Feng pursed her lips and said seriously, "Father said that Comrade Li Youyu took his hunting rifle and fired three shots at Cheng Lihua, smashing her head."
Yang Weining breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized a few seconds later and asked, "Where is Li Youyu?"
"He was taken away by the town police, and we still haven't heard from him."
"No, I still have to go." Yang Weining put down the stool, his rationality returning. "Killing someone with a gun in the street is a serious crime. I have to go and testify for him. I have to find a way to get him out."
Yang Weining arrived at the town's police station. The small, single-story building was already crowded with people, almost all of whom were villagers from Qijiatun, and some had come from the town to see what was going on.
For this secluded town where people go to sleep as soon as it gets dark, a murder case is a once-in-a-millennium event.
Looking through the front window of the police station, Yang Weining could see a light on in the small room in the backyard.
That place must be similar to an interrogation room.
Qi, the headhunter, spotted Yang Weining in the crowd and yelled at him, "Finally, someone who can handle things has arrived. The police said we don't know the law and won't let us in."
What happened after I fainted?
Yang Weining asked.
Qi the headhunter pushed him out of the crowd and recounted everything he had seen and heard after entering Cheng Lihua's residence.
The young policeman who received Yang Weining knew Yang Weining's purpose without him having to say a word.
Every word felt like a knife cutting into Yang Weining's flesh.
He felt an unparalleled sense of gratitude towards Li Youyu.
If he hadn't knocked her unconscious, Wenjie would probably have been tortured to the point of death right under her nose.
Qi, the headhunter, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be too sad. At least the person was rescued. It's just that I don't know about Comrade Li... Sigh, this guy is truly a reincarnation of Wu Song, so righteous and chivalrous..."
Yang Weining remained silent, taking Li Youyu's actions to heart.
He went into the police station, intending to explain the situation to the police, but the young officer in charge of receiving him waved his hand and said, "Please sit here for a while. My mentor is still interrogating the criminal. We'll talk about everything after he comes out."
Yang Weining persisted several times, but the young policeman remained unmoved.
Suddenly, Yang Weining thought of someone.
Mike Evans.
Li Youyu rescued Ye Wenjie, which must have meant that he had made a real deal with Evans.
If he wants to rescue Li Youyu, the only thing he can do right now is to stop Evans from leaving and leave the secrets of the Red Coast Base in this closed-off town!
Li Youyu was willing to risk his life to rescue Ye Wenjie, and Yang Weining was no coward either.
He was prepared to trade one life for another, leaving Evans in the town forever.
