Police officer Chen Shu.

Chapter 964 A Grasshopper on a Rope

"No...no...don't kill me."

Min Lai's pupils contracted rapidly, and he subconsciously begged for mercy. He knew that what the other party said was true, and it was the right choice that he, as the person involved, had to make.

The indifferent-looking senior Chinese police officer in front of me really didn't mind adding another life to this deserted cabin in order to drag the armed and well-equipped Company Commander Ma into the mess.

In China, where peace has been maintained for a long time, human life is a very serious matter. However, in northern Myanmar, where people die every minute and every second, it is actually a very common occurrence.

Minlai gave up resisting, her voice trembling as she pleaded, "Commander, you are so magnanimous, please spare me. I'll give you anything you want. Please, I beg you, just tell me your request..."

"Oh?" Chen Shu straightened up, put away the pistol that had been pressed against Min Lai's forehead, and chuckled, "What do you have to give me? Can your stuff compare to the soldiers of Ma Guofeng's company?"

Hearing this, Minlai nodded frantically as if grasping at a straw, saying, "Commander, although Ma Guofeng has served in the Chinese special forces for many years and is indeed skilled, and the soldiers he leads are not bad, the old man has always been wary of him. The weapons they use are all outdated ones that we no longer use. If you plan to launch a direct assault, you won't even be able to get to the gate of the park..."

Chen Shu pretended to listen very attentively, even nodding slightly, as if to encourage the other party to say more.

"Commander, I'll tell you the old man's guard company's troop deployment, where his communications vehicle is, where his armory is, and their duty roster... Yes! When carrying out combat missions, they have the fewest troops on duty around nine or ten in the morning because they think daytime is the safest time... Commander, I also know where the old man's money is! Please, please don't kill me..."

Chen Shu never considered a direct attack, but that didn't stop him from needing the information Min Lai provided.

After Min Lai finished speaking, Chen Shu took out her phone and said seriously, "You can live, but I need you to do two things. First, do you need to call Ang Suoling back to report the situation? If so, then call back. Second, I need to know where Wu Shengli and Li Song from Yong Sheng Group are now."

Min Lai quieted down, staring at the phone Chen Shu had placed in front of him, and fell silent.

He knew that now, as a prisoner, his act of calling Ang Soling to give false military intelligence was tantamount to betrayal, and if Ang Soling survived this operation, he would surely die.

"Commander, I need a guarantee."

"explain."

"After you finish the call, you have to let me go."

There was a pause in the cabin for a while, then Chen Shu's calm and composed reply rang out.

"You will be handed over to the relevant authorities. However, you will not be considered a prisoner, but rather someone who has voluntarily surrendered and is cooperating with the members of the joint Chinese-Myanmar law enforcement team. I will personally sign this document and then send it to the Chinese Embassy. As for where you will ultimately go, I do not know."

After Chen Shu's answer, the cabin remained quiet for a long time.

Min Lai strained to lift his head, squinting at the high-ranking police officer from China, assessing this extremely risky gamble, the stakes of which was his life.

"Commander, to be honest, these conditions aren't very good."

"But that's the only condition."

"Um... Commander, after you finish this call, are you sure you won't kill me? Just to make that idiot Ma Guofeng give up?"

"After I finish the call, I'll have a colleague stay in the cabin, while I'll go find Ang Soling to verify if what you said is true."

Min Lai sensed the warning in the other person's words: if he revealed anything he shouldn't have during his phone call with Ang So Ling, or if Chen Shu died in the telecom fraud park, then the police officer that Chen Shu had specially arranged to stay in the cabin would kill him without hesitation.

Min Lai grinned, deliberately changing the subject and bringing up Company Commander Ma again: "That idiot, he thinks he has a way out. If I go back, the first thing I'll do is kill him, then I'll go to the old man to apologize."

Seeing that Chen Shu didn't respond, Min Lai could only ask again, "Commander, after you finish this call, will you kill me?"

"If it really comes down to killing, I will."

Chen Shu forcibly unlocked the phone with Min Lai's finger, and found Ang Suo Ling's phone number through the history. "Old man," it was that simple.

Before Minlai could agree, Chen Shu pressed the call button, then the speakerphone button. As the beeping sound came from the speakerphone, he smiled at Minlai, held the phone to her mouth, and said:

"But now, you still have a choice."

......

Chen Shu stepped out of the wooden house and stood on the steps. He quickly glanced down at the Chinese text displayed on his phone screen and closed the "Translator" app just as someone was about to approach.

Company Commander Ma was the first to come over, nervously asking, "Commander Chen, did that guy call Ang Suoling?"

Chen Shu nodded: "We fought them, and there are no problems with Ang Suoling's side."

Company Commander Ma looked suspicious for a moment, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "I didn't expect the commander to know Burmese! Impressive! Commander, what should we do next?"

Clearly, Company Commander Ma misunderstood Chen Shu, assuming that the other party understood the local language.

When he was willing to hand over Min Lai's cell phone and walkie-talkie to Chen Shu and follow Chen Chuan out of the cabin, it was because he was taking advantage of the fact that Chen Shu was Chinese. He figured that if they really needed to use the cell phone and walkie-talkie, they would definitely need someone like him who could understand both Chinese and Burmese.

Min Lai can speak Mandarin, but he certainly won't speak Mandarin when he contacts others via mobile phone and walkie-talkie.

Chen Shu didn't answer. He called Xiao Wang over and said, "You're taking the remains of our four fallen brothers back to China in the car we brought. Can you manage that by yourself?"

"able."

Xiao Wang nodded firmly, for the first time not refuting Chen Shu, and for the first time speaking very little.

After Company Commander Ma took Xiao Wang to find a vehicle, Chen Chuan came over and teased, "What, you're not letting me come back to China this time? Haha, you've finally figured it out! You know how powerful my money is now! You know you can't live without me, right..."

Watching Xiao Wang's departing figure, Chen Shu said earnestly, "Chen Chuan, thank you."

Hearing Chen Shu's thanks, Chen Chuan wiped his nose and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Shu, you can count for yourself how many times you've thanked me. I won't mention other places, but even in this godforsaken place, I've accompanied you twice. Hehe, you'll never be able to repay this favor in your lifetime..."

Last year, in order to gain fame, Chen Shu secretly went to northern Myanmar. It was Chen Chuan who led his own criminal investigation team, using a metal box specifically designed to search for cell phone signals, to follow him over mountains and valleys.

Chen Shu gently shook his head and agreed, "It's still not clear."

Chen Chuan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Then live well and pay it back slowly. I'll be waiting for you to pay it back."

The two stood by the river, quietly watching a car drive out of the valley and head north back. The rising sun cast its warm rays upon the land.

Chen Shu turned around, and Chen Chuan saw that the expression on his face had returned to its usual calm. Since returning from the Southern Frontier, this expression had frequently appeared on Chen Shu's face.

Chen Chuan stared at his face for a few seconds: "What were you laughing at earlier?"

Chen Shu was a little confused: "I didn't laugh."

"Bullshit! You weren't even this grinning when you received that banner from that pretty girl at the police station years ago!"

Chen Shu didn't respond to that, but he was indeed in a very good mood.

Chen Shu recalled the figure of Xiao Wang leaving earlier; his back was straight, and his shoulders were no longer hunched forward as before. This young man from the Donghai Provincial Department had come wearing the police uniform that most of his classmates were reluctant to wear. Late at night, he had come to Chen Shu's room and cautiously asked him if he was "willing to accept the organization's test."

Deep down, he was actually unwilling.

So along the way, Chen Shu basically ignored the young man, partly out of guilt, but more so out of avoidance.

Despite this, Xiao Wang remained enthusiastic in investigating the case of the four police officers, never backing down, even when faced with deadly threats from armed men.

He wasn't a deserter; he was doing something he had always believed in, something worth risking his life for.

Chen Shu thought this arrangement was excellent.

After seeing Xiao Wang off, Company Commander Ma hurried back.

Chen Shu estimated the distance, and just when the other person could clearly see his figure, he turned around, entered the cabin, and closed the door.

A moment later, a clear gunshot rang out beside the mountain stream.

"Bang!"

I like Policeman Chen Shu.
