"Don't move rashly." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "This gun can misfire, you know."

Eagle squinted his eyes; he knew how formidable Lin Chuan was. If it had been Song Xiaojia pointing a gun at him, he probably would have acted already. But after witnessing Lin Chuan's capabilities and his methods, he lost his confidence and assurance. He took a deep breath and then said, "Spit it out, what exactly do you want?!"

"Brother, if you wanted to kill us, you would have done it by now," the leader in the yellow jacket said. "Since you haven't made a move, let's sit down and talk this through. What do you say?"

Lin Chuan didn't want to kill them just yet; he wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop.

If the opponents had started firing as soon as they entered, he could only take down one, and if the other two escaped, it would pose an even greater threat to him. Now, all three of them were trapped inside a shipping container and couldn't escape for the time being. Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Murder earns retribution, debts must be paid; these are the natural laws of life."

Lai Zi's gloomy eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan's hand, ready to react at the first sign of gunfire. Although he couldn't move as quickly as a divine dodge, at the very least, he could avoid the first bullet. In such a cramped container, avoiding the first shot would mean victory. However, at a distance of less than three meters, it was clearly impossible to dodge Lin Chuan's bullets.

......

At the police station.

After receiving the news, Chen Jianjun immediately became extremely agitated.

"Quick, quick," Chen Jianjun exclaimed eagerly. "This is a golden opportunity to make a mark."

"Chief Chen, Huai Mountain South Road is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Wenhui and his team," a nearby police officer hastily said. "Should we... ask first?"

"Ask my ass," Chen Jianjun cursed bluntly. "This is a matter of life and death, what is there to ask about? At a time like this, we should prioritize protecting the safety of the public's property, instead of getting caught up in some messy internal strife."

"Yes, of course!" the police officer quickly agreed.

"Besides, Li Jiangping is about to be promoted, and the deputy chief's position will be vacant. I'm aiming to take that spot," Chen Jianjun took a breath and said with a cold tone: "Once I become the deputy chief, everyone can follow me for a good time."

"Yes!" the crowd nodded in agreement.

Then, a group of police officers from the station immediately set out.

By the time they reached the scene, it was already surrounded by people from the general bureau. Chen Jianjun, being a police officer from Huai Mountain South Road's station, naturally had the authority to enter the scene and investigate. Zhang Wenhui was already investigating at the scene, where there was one fatality, and two injured persons. The deceased had been taken to the hospital by ambulance, while both of the injured had sustained only minor injuries due to being knocked over in the chaos, one with a scraped skin and the other with a sprained foot.

"Chen Jianjun, why are you here?" Zhang Wenhui asked in confusion: "This is my jurisdiction, and this case is my responsibility."

"Hehe, Chief Zhang," Chen Jianjun walked over and let out a sly laugh: "I show respect by calling you Chief Zhang; if I didn't respect you, what do you amount to? Do you even have the right to speak in the station? From now on, I'm in charge of this case!"

He was exceedingly arrogant.

Zhang Wenhui scoffed with disdain and said, "Alright, then you handle it."

Zhang Wenhui didn't believe that the other party could uncover any clues. Besides, the case was a major one, and he was confident that a special task force from the general bureau would soon take over. Even if Chen Jianjun did find something, it would only be like serving a wedding dress for others. Zhang Wenhui immediately instructed his own officers to stand down.

"Brothers, investigate thoroughly, ask questions carefully," Chen Jianjun wouldn't miss this opportunity.

After making inquires in the vicinity, Chen Jianjun quickly found a key witness: a janitor uncle. At the time of the incident, he had taken cover behind his cleaning cart and had a clear view of the entire scene. After he described what he witnessed, Chen Jianjun immediately grasped the key point.

"What did you say?" Chen Jianjun exclaimed in astonishment: "You're saying that the female police officer left with them too?"

"Yes, the female police officer definitely followed and got on the vehicle," the janitor uncle quickly nodded.

"Which direction did they go?" Chen Jianjun asked urgently.

"They went in that direction," the janitor pointed towards the west.

Chen Jianjun pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered his deputy, "Quick, pull up the satellite tracking map of Song Xiaojia's phone."

"Yes!" the deputy hastened to make the call.

It wasn't long before the satellite tracking map from the police center was available. The deputy chief hurriedly reported, "Chief Chen, look, Song Xiaojia is located at the docks."

"The docks?!" A light bulb went off in Chen Jianjun's mind, and he said, "Quick, follow me."

Four to five people quickly piled into the police car, and then two police vehicles sped towards the docks. Zhang Wenhui frowned, a sense of urgency in his heart. He was about to take out his phone to call Lin Chuan, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to put his phone away.

......

Inside the shipping container, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The more time dragged on, the worse it was for them. At any moment, the situation could change. There were three people on the opposite side, and all three looked formidable. On Lin Chuan's side, although there were also three of them, Song Xiaojia had already been knocked unconscious by Lin Chuan, and Dou Dan was just a kid. Therefore, Lin Chuan was at a slight disadvantage. However, Lin Chuan had a gun in his hand, so the opponents didn't dare to move rashly. The standoff continued.

"With the gun in your hand, you definitely can't kill all three of us with one bullet," Eagle said with a smile as he watched Lin Chuan. "But we can deal with these two."

Eagle pointed at Gou Dan and Song Xiaojia while speaking. One was unconscious, and the other was still young; if the other party attacked, these two would obviously be in great danger.

Lin Chuan squinted his eyes, not speaking, but the gun in his hand seemed somewhat unnatural.

The man in the yellow jacket puffed on his cigarette, his smile growing even broader.

"Brother, why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?" Eagle spoke again, saying, "Living a life, isn't it all for a bit of money? With money, everything becomes easy. You can have whatever you want. We have jewels worth thirty million here. I'll give you ten million, how about that?"

"That's indeed tempting," Lin Chuan said with a slight smirk, "But I'm afraid I might have the money and lose my life before I can spend it."

Eagle was stunned, then laughed and said, "Take this money, and we go our separate ways. From now on, consider we've made a brother of you. How about that?"

It must be said, these people really did have good psychological qualities. Even under such circumstances, they had not lost their measure. While Eagle was drawing Lin Chuan's attention, Lai Zi quietly reached towards his waist, as if ready to make a move at any moment.

Lin Chuan glanced at Lai Zi and said, "If you dare move again, don't blame me for being rude."

Lai Zi's face darkened, his hand freezing mid-air and then slowly pulling back. Eagle grinned and said, "Lai Zi, with your little skill, you're probably no match for him. So it's best for you to stay put and not make any sudden moves."

"Humph!" Lai Zi's face muscles trembled, obviously very unwilling.

Dī wū dī wū...

At this moment, the sound of police sirens started to approach.

The atmosphere in the container grew even tenser, and the short man closest to the container door hurriedly said, "Eagle, this is bad, cops are here. We have to leave now."

Bang...

At this moment, Lin Chuan quickly pulled the trigger.

Thud...

Lai Zi, who was closest to the front, took a bullet to the chest. Eagle lunged at Lin Chuan the moment the shot was fired. Lin Chuan, without waiting for the attack, kicked a corpse towards him; Eagle instinctively grabbed the body and fell backwards.

"Let's go." Enduring the severe pain, Lai Zi grabbed the bag filled with dozens of kilograms of jewels and rushed out. Eagle covered the rear. Just as they were leaving, Lai Zi roared, "Eagle, get a move on. We'll get to the boat first."

Having said that, they rushed out.

Thud...

Just as they turned to leave, Gou Dan swiftly threw out the dagger in his hand. It hit the short man in the back of the neck. The short man froze the moment he was stabbed, saying, "Brother Lai Zi, you... you go ahead..."

"Xiao Fei, what's wrong?" Lai Zi, clutching his chest, turned his head to look at Xiao Fei.

"I... I think I've hit the jackpot," Xiao Fei said as he slowly turned his head, the dagger in his neck glaringly obvious. He cursed, "We... we underestimated this little bastard."

Thump...

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fei collapsed from the metal stairway.

"Xiao Fei!" Lai Zi exclaimed in shock.

Crack...

At this moment, Gou Dan's nimble figure appeared. He held a slingshot, pulling the powerful rubber band back, and a steel ball eight millimeters in diameter struck Lai Zi in the head. Lai Zi winced in pain, glared at Gou Dan, and cursed, "Son of a bitch, you little bastard, just you wait. I'll be back."

Lai Zi tumbled down the stairs, taking the hefty bag of jewels with him, quickly vanishing into the night.

Gou Dan hurriedly chased after him. Inside the container, Eagle seized the chance to escape.

"Not good," Lin Chuan exclaimed in shock. He hurriedly shouted, "Gou Dan!"

Lin Chuan leaped down from the container swiftly, and immediately two police cars surrounded the container. The management and police officers arrived at the scene. As soon as they arrived, they saw a dark figure swiftly fleeing, then another shadow leaped down from the container.

"Stop him," Chen Jianjun was overjoyed and said, "Brothers, here's our chance for a commendation."

Whoosh...

Five or six policemen immediately drew their guns and shouted, "Freeze! Don't move. Or we will shoot."

The blinding headlights illuminated Lin Chuan, with several dark muzzles of handguns pointed at him.

Chen Jianjun was shocked and then burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, Lin Chuan, it's you?! You're the robber!!"
