Chapter 290 A Net of Heaven and Earth
Police engaged in a fierce firefight with unidentified forces; the gunfire was deafening, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Thanks to their professional training and seamless teamwork, the special police officers gradually gained the upper hand.
However, the unknown forces also showed strong resistance, and both sides suffered casualties.
At this critical moment, three figures suddenly appeared in their field of vision—Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing.
They wore black bulletproof vests, carried weapons, and quickly joined the battle.
Their arrival was like a shot in the arm, quickly subduing some members of the unknown forces.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Ziyue asked in surprise.
"It's too dangerous for you to act alone!"
Qiu Langyu frowned and said, "Junior sister, you're really not being fair. How can you be so undisciplined?"
"Thanks to you all."
Qiu Ziyue said gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
"What should we do next?"
"Let's ensure safety first, then discuss the next steps."
Leng Feng answered calmly, his eyes resolute.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, then she noticed that one of the enemy snipers was hiding behind a large tree and aiming at the SWAT team members.
She quickly pulled out a small knife from her body, poked her head out, and flew towards the sniper.
A throwing knife struck the sniper in a vital spot, buying the SWAT team precious time.
With Qiu Ziyue's assistance, the special police finally found a breakthrough.
At Captain Li's command, the special police launched a fierce offensive.
The unknown forces gradually became unable to resist and began to retreat.
The special police officers gave chase and eventually cornered them.
"Put down your weapons, or face the consequences!"
Captain Li shouted loudly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the unknown forces surrendered one after another.
The special police officers quickly moved forward, subdued them, and cleaned up and investigated the scene.
Once the surrounding area was safe, Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye got out of the car and met up with Captain Li.
"Thank you for arriving in time," Qiu Ziyue said gratefully.
"This is our duty."
Captain Li nodded. "However, you should also be careful. This situation is very unusual."
Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye boarded the vehicle arranged by the special police and quickly left the scene.
Despite this victory, Qiu Ziyue knew that the real competition had only just begun.
Based on the information provided by Hei Sanye, the police quickly used high technology to create a sketch of Bai Erye's appearance and soon grasped the relevant criminal facts of Bai Erye.
Third Master Hei said that since he took control of the black market in Z City, Second Master Bai has disappeared abroad, and he can only contact him through an informant in Z City.
But the informant called from a phone in Z city, and used a voice changer, so it was impossible to tell whose voice it was.
In the monitoring room, the monitors constantly switched between the images on the screens, carefully analyzing every bit of information.
Third Master Hei also said that he didn't actually want to betray Second Master Bai, but based on the previous gunshot, it was clear that Second Master Bai wanted him dead, so he decided to confess everything.
After Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye successfully escaped, Li Tao lay on the ground, powerless and unable to move.
He realized that he and his men had been poisoned with a drug that would cause his muscles to relax and render him unable to move.
Although his body was unable to move, he remained conscious.
Despite his discomfort, Li Tao struggled to pull his phone out of his pocket and dialed 112 for emergency medical assistance.
"This is an emergency center. How can I help you?"
A calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I... have been poisoned, quickly... send someone here."
Li Tao's voice was weak and urgent, as if he had used up all his strength.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and took Li Tao and his men to the hospital.
The doctors conducted a detailed analysis and test on Sujin Soft Bone Powder and found that it was a drug that specifically acts on the nervous system and muscle tissue, and has a strong numbing effect.
In order to reduce the drug's effects as quickly as possible, doctors used a variety of detoxification methods, including gastric lavage, intravenous infusion, and injection of antidotes.
However, the treatment process was extremely painful.
The toxicity of the muscle relaxant not only affects muscles, but also triggers severe physical reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and convulsions.
Li Tao endured immense pain during treatment, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, his heart filled with anger towards Qiu Ziyue and a determination for revenge.
After several days of intensive treatment, Li Tao gradually recovered.
Although he is still weak, he is now able to stand and walk with difficulty.
The doctor told him that thanks to timely treatment, his body had not suffered long-term damage, but he would still need some time to rest and fully recover.
Li Tao stood by the hospital window, gazing at the night outside, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.
This defeat only strengthened his resolve to seek revenge.
He knew that Qiu Ziyue wouldn't let him off easily, and he would absolutely not let Qiu Ziyue continue to evade justice.
"Qiu Ziyue, you wait."
Li Tao muttered to himself, clenching his fists, "I will make you pay the price."
After being discharged from the hospital, Li Tao frequently came into contact with unidentified individuals, seemingly plotting a larger operation.
"His actions were highly suspicious."
Inside the police station, an officer listening in said, "We must find his connection with Master Bai as soon as possible."
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan also joined the analysis, trying to find the key from the many clues.
"Master Bai will definitely not give up control over Li Tao easily."
Qiu Ziyue speculated, "We need to find their criminal hideouts or other evidence of their crimes."
After several days of intense work, the monitoring team finally discovered an important clue.
It turns out that although Li Tao had seemingly broken free from Bai Erye's control, he was still under his remote command in reality.
A document concerning illicit financial flows was intercepted, containing substantial evidence of crimes committed by Master Bai.
"This is the key evidence we've been searching for!"
Qiu Ziyue said excitedly.
How to capture Master Bai remains a big mystery.
At this point, Third Master Hei mentioned a crucial clue: although Second Master Bai was treacherous, cunning, and ruthless, he was extremely filial.
Every year on November 11th, Uncle Bai would return from abroad to celebrate his elderly mother's birthday.
However, at this time, it was just a few days away from November 11th.
Police began to lay a trap at the airport and near Bai Erye's mother's house, waiting for Bai Erye to appear.
November 11th, a seemingly ordinary day, is filled with anticipation and uncertainty for many.
The airport terminal was bustling with people, but one corner was unusually deserted—Master Bai, who was supposed to arrive that day, was nowhere to be seen.
His flight information showed "delayed," but as time passed, Master Bai's figure never appeared in people's sight.
At this moment, Master Bai seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Meanwhile, Bai Erye's house was also completely silent.
The once bustling mansion is now deserted, with its gates tightly shut and only a few birds occasionally flying by in the courtyard.
The neighbors were all talking and speculating about where Master Bai had gone.
Some say he went abroad, while others think he might have encountered some trouble.
However, no one expected that Master Bai was currently in Z City, or rather, he had been secretly operating in Z City all along.
At three in the morning, the entire city was immersed in tranquility.
In the small courtyard where Master Bai's mother lived, a white shadow flashed by silently.
Master Bai sneaked up to his mother's window and quietly pushed open the half-closed door.
The room was dimly lit, and the mother was still fast asleep.
A complex emotion welled up in Master Bai's heart.
He knew he couldn't let his mother worry, so he chose to return quietly at this time.
To be continued in the next chapter!
