At the Guardian Squad base, the command, a bank of computers were racing with all force. At the time, Shen Bing was sitting in front of a computer, staring at the data on the screen, then she said, âThe signal source origin of the phone has been locked, itâs located near 7 Blue Water Street. Powering off though, the trace can be tracked!â
Clenching his fist, Wang Xin said, âHoly Sh*t! Itâs really on the Blue Water Streetâ¦â
Being on the anxious seat, Dong Cheng Feng said, âThen you should send people over right now. Where are the police now?â
Wang Xin said through gritted teeth, âDo you think we donât want to move now? Itâs just⦠Why the Blood Scythes feels so reassured and emboldened this time? Who is at their back? Itâs their vast Artificials and a fathomless superior.â
Dong Cheng Lai punched the wall beside him, then a deep pit emerged on it. His eyes reddened with rage, âDonât tell me they are super masters. Yueâer has been taken by them. If you police want to wait till 11 at night, then you go on. I wonât continue any longer. Yueâer is hovering between life and death now!â
I walked forward in a hurry, grabbing the arm of Dong Cheng Lei, âAh Lei, calm down!â
This time, however, Dong Cheng Yue turned round in a sudden and banged an unexpected fist to me. I was shocked, taking a few steps back. His reddened eyes showed deep disappointment, âBrother Xiao Yao, I thought you love Yueâer as much as I do, and you will do anything for her safety, but Iâm wrong, you love yourself more!â
I shivered all over, clenching my fist and standing there, glaring at him.
With understatement, Wang Xin said, âLi Xiao Yao, calm down, itâs an order. You mustnât move before 10, Blue Water Street is a commercial street, and itâs necessary to give the police time to clear the scene.â
I looked at Wang Xin and said, âHow about I take a team of Guardian Squad and sneak in from the underground passage of North Street at Blue Water Street, and then attack them unexpectedly.â
âShut up!â âOriginal Translation from WWWãwangmamareadãcomâ
Wang Xin said with anger, âYour duty is to obey orders, not to be arbitrarily!â
My eyes got wet and said angrily, âYes, the safety of other people is important, then what about Dong Cheng Yue? What should she do? Have you thought about what she will suffer in Blood Scythes?â
Wang Xin trembled a little and was stunned by my words. Instead, the police officer of the Hangzhou City Police Department, who was in a high-level police uniform, looked at me and whispered, âLi Xiao Yao, donât be impulsive. You are a police officer and a special combat soldier. You should consider the overall situation. Helicopters, military fighters, armored vehicles, etc. around Hangzhou are coming but it would take a certain amount of time. You also know that ordinary police canât cope with the current Blood Scythes. You canât let us flatten the entire Blue Water Street and bury thousands of people in the ruins just because of one person, Dong Cheng Yue. Isnât it?â
I was speechless, slowly leaning against the wall behind me. Raising my hand and holding the hilt of Xiao Hei, I slowly drew the whole black sword, and said with wet eyes, âCaptain Wang Xin, still remember the oath? My words and deeds would never tarnish the golden shield. For the so-called overall situation, you want to sacrifice Dongcheng alone. Isnât it tarnishing the badge on our chest? You tell me, isnât the safety of one person as important as the overall situation? Dong Cheng Yue is also a part of the overall situation, who is eligible to sacrifice her?â
Wang Xin was extremely depressed and punched the table at the side. His eyes were red, he looked up at me and said, âWhat do you expect me to do? What do you want? Like you, to act on impulse - go to Blue Water Street and fight fiercely against Blood Scythes? Then let all people in China know that our hundreds of policemen in Hangzhou district are killed by Blood Scythes?â
I shook my head, looking at him in despair. I stretched out my hand to remove the badge on my chest and then put it on the table. Reaching for the hilt of Xiao Hei, I said, âAll that Iâll do today has nothing with the police.â
âStop!â
But the police commissioner shouted at me and commanded in a low voice, âSomebody, put Li Xiao Yao under house arrest and disallow him to leave the base before 11, even a half step, otherwiseâ¦kill him on the spot!â
I, ââ¦â¦â âOriginal Translation from WWWãwangmamareadãcomâ
Xing Lie raised the pistol in his hands, pointing it at me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Staring at him, I murmured, âLittle Lie, are you going to shoot me?â
Xing Lie looked pale, with tears rolling in his eyes. He said in trembling tones, âBoss, donâtâ¦donât put me on the spot. We donât want to lose you. This time, please obey the order⦠after today, our brothers could put all lives in your handsâ¦â
Shen Bing beside me also stood up and held my shoulder tightly with one hand, âLi Xiao Yao, donât persist!â
Not far away, Lin Tiannan, along with Lin Wan Er, galloped toward here. Seeing that Xing Lie and other policemen pointed their guns at me, Lin Wan Er rushed over here, pushed Xing Lie away, and stood in front of me, shouting, âWhat do you want to do?â
âWan Er,â I said gently, âitâs all rightâ¦â
â¦â¦
Dong Cheng Fengâs turbid eyes were full of anger, âIf your police donât rescue her, let me go. Even if I, an old man, die for that, itâs not a big deal!â
Wang Xin hurriedly said, âDong Cheng Feng, why are you so impulsive, too?â
Dong Cheng Feng turned around, saying with blood-red eyes, âThe girl under house arrest is not your daughter and you are not a girlâs father, you ask why Iâm so impulsive? You should inform me that you have to delay for some time, are you worthy of wearing the police uniform?!â
Wang Xin, ââ¦â¦â
