Chapter 553: Exciting News

Huang He had enunciated those words.
Tian Danyue had sensitively captured the emotion in his eyes and was slightly taken aback.
“Goods?” she lowered her head to look at the box by his feet. “Aren’t the goods here?”
Huang He pressed his lips together slowly then told her what happened. “Most of the goods that they were preparing to send to the neighboring cities are actually inside that cement factory and not that warehouse located at the suburbs…”
Tian Danyue finally understood his emotions and was shocked at the news.
That voice sounded broken and hoa.r.s.e, as though it was squeezed out from the throat.
“Why did this turn out this way? The moment the police did a search… everything is over.”
Huang He shrugged and let out a chuckle with a carefree expression. “That’s none of my business. He asked for it himself!”
Tian Danyue pressed her lips tightly and did not say anything more.
Huang He’s eyes fell on Tian Danyue’s face. He frowned when he saw her expression went from that of shock to consternation then to looking distracted. He leaned back against the seat slowly and instructed the driver. “Drive faster, I’m hungry.”
“Alright, Brother Huang!”
Jin City was not as cold as the Capital but the humidity was high.
There was no snow on the branches of the trees; there was not a white cloud that could be seen on the grey, gloomy sky.
On that day, Qi Canghai made his greatest ever achievement ever since he became a Detective Captain, and it was given to him by Bai Muchuan.
A small cement factory located at the outskirts of the city was actually a drug den. It got cracked down by the police in one go, arresting more than 20 people and seized almost 500 kilograms of the ‘zombie’ drug… The mission went smoothly with no casualties reported, and none of those involved managed to escape.
It was a wonderful feeling!
The cracking down of the drug syndicate’s ‘warehouse’ was akin to receiving a gift for the Lunar New Year.
Qi Canghai was practically feeling this way. He kept grinning from ear to ear.
Quan Shaoteng, on the other hand, was fuming away when he called Bai Muchuan.
“h.e.l.lo!” This time, his call finally got through to Bai Muchuan.
Hearing the slow and relaxed voice of Bai Muchuan, Quan Shaoteng suddenly felt that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and so on were all burning in anger.
“Little Bai, what are you bleeping up to?”
“To catch people.” Bai Muchuan did not appear at the cement factory earlier. He was hiding in a spot outside the factory to ensure that the operation went well.
He saw Qi Canghai and his team going in and also saw Huang He’s car leaving the scene.
“Hurhur, catch people?” Quan Shaoteng was so peeved that his cheeks felt stiff due to the anger. “I want to bleeping kill you already. Do you know what was inside that warehouse you told me to spy on?”
“Washing powder?”
“Yeah! All of the goods are washing powder, bleeping washing powder!”
“…” Bai Muchuan couldn’t hold his laughter.
“Laugh! You’re still bleeping laughing about it.”
“Isn’t it good that you found washing powder instead? You were actually hoping that the goods were drugs?”
“D*rn!” Quan Shaoteng looked up at the sky and felt speechless. “Bai Muchuan, do you know that we scared a group of workers when we appeared before them with real guns? Their boss even said that he wanted to lodge a complaint against me!”
“Oh.” Bai Muchuan still sounded unconcerned. “I believe that you can settle this. People who are good-looking should be easy to receive forgiveness from others!”
“What the bleep…”
Quan Shaoteng almost died of anger because of Bai Muchuan.
“What exactly is happening? You just leave me to handle the situation here all by myself and I can’t get through to you earlier. Do you know how worried I was about you?”
Mm? Bai Muchuan smiled. “Earlier on, we used the police jammers to block out communication signals in this area. n.o.body could make or receive phone calls… All the signals are back now and I was just about to call you actually.”
“… You wanted to give me a call? Hurhur, your line was busy earlier.”
“Yup, I received Xiang Wan’s call,” replied Bai Muchuan in a carefree manner.
“D*rn, you’re indeed girls over pals.” Quan Shaoteng got irritated.
However, when he heard that Bai Muchuan had made such a big move in the cement factory and actually made a great achievement, his resentment was relieved a little.
“You should have informed me earlier and I won’t have made myself into a laughing stock.”
“No,” said Bai Muchuan, “I don’t know if that warehouse is another secret hideout of the Dark Clan. It’s always good to check it out…”
“Hurhur!” Quan Shaoteng made a dissatisfied sneer. “Couldn’t you just bleeping tell me about it beforehand?”
“It’s because I trusted you!”
“…” He would be a fool if he believed what he said.
Hmph ! Quan Shaoteng snorted in displeasure while Bai Muchuan sneaked a laugh. “Besides, if I told you beforehand, wouldn’t you be hopping mad when you know that we’re arresting members of a drug syndicate while you’re out there checking out some washing powder?”
“Hurhur, but I’m hopping mad now!”
“Just hop!” Bai Muchuan chuckled. “After you finished hopping, I need to pa.s.s a mission to you.”
The mention of a mission immediately made Quan Shaoteng perk up with interest.
“What mission?”
Bai Muchuan knew that Quan Shaoteng would behave like that.
When there was work for him, he would even be happier than having seen a beauty.
“I need to accompany Xiang Wan for dinner tonight. You’ll help me handle the work here.”
Handle his work?
Quan Shaoteng seemed troubled. “But I don’t understand your work.”
Bai Muchuan explained, “Qi Canghai would provide support on this. Of course, what I needed you to do will mainly be your scope of work.”
Oh? That means it would be an operation. Quan Shaoteng’s eyes lit up. “What do I need to do?”
Bai Muchuan: “Wait for further orders!”
“But I bleeping only have three men with me?”
“Be rest a.s.sured. The special police in Jin City are good.”
“D*mn…” Quan Shaoteng was frustrated and knocked his own head. “Just how much money did I owe you in my past life that I have to suffer like this?”
Bai Muchuan rubbed salt into the wound. “I think so too. How much did you owe me then?”
“Scram!”
…
The seizure of such huge quant.i.ties of drugs was a major progress in the ‘zombie’ case.
Their operation was a success!
When the good news spread back to the Capital, the entire Serious Crime Division One cheered and was spurred on to work harder.
Of course, Young Master Quan would absolutely not tell anyone that he had partic.i.p.ated in a “washing powder battle”. He followed Bai Muchuan’s orders to work with Qi Canghai and interrogated those bunch of Dark Clan minions that got caught.
Out of the twenty over people they caught, the tattooed guy and Gou were the ones in charge.
However, they were only in charge of the storage and the issuing out of goods.
According to them, the Dark Clan had sent a large number of drugs to all parts of the country. An Ying had said these drugs would be used on Lunar New Year Eve and they had been sending the drugs out. Whatever was left in the warehouse were the remaining stocks that they had yet to send out…
What the police had seized was just a small portion.
In other words, more than half of it had already flowed out from the cement factory.
Quan Shaoteng was bathed in feelings of anxiety. He quickly informed Bai Muchuan about it then pinged Salimu in the Gossip group chat.
“Brother, since you’re in the Intelligence Team, just tell us straight if your team can do this job or not?”
Salimu: “?”
Quan Shaoteng: “Where’s the name list? What’s the website? Still no news about these?”
Salimu: “Who says we haven’t got any information? We’ve already found some footprints…”
Quan Shaoteng: “What kind of footprints?”
Salimu: “I can’t tell you…”
Quan Shaoteng pulled a long face. “Do you know what is the date today? Just one more day to go and it will be the Lunar New Year’s Eve. So, we only have one more day to stop Operation Heaven’s Wrath.”
Salimu: “Orh, have you finished what you wanted to say?”
Quan Shaoteng: “? I’m done with what I want to say.”
Salimu: “Then I’ll get back to work. We’ll contact Captain Bai the moment we got something substantial.”
“…”
What the!
The group chat was really quiet.
Quan Shaoteng looked at the time and felt that he had an unlucky day.
These guys were busy with work and ignored him. Yet Bai Muchuan actually had the mood to have dinner with Xiang Wan that night?
As for him, he couldn’t go back home for Lunar New Year and was even made to standby for “duty” by Bai Muchuan…
But what kind of mission was there that required the Operations Team?
“Could it be that he’s trying to bleeping hoodwink me again?” thought Young Master Quan.
