Chapter 80 The Chase

Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District, Conference Room.

When Jiang Heng arrived here,

Jiang Yunliang, Duan Zhenyu, the captain of the third detachment, and the group leaders of several groups in the third detachment were already seated in the meeting room, and the atmosphere was quite serious.

Jiang Heng stepped into the meeting room and asked, "Director, what happened?"

Jiang Yunliang replied, "The news from the headquarters is that a criminal from the Thai-Myanmar Administrative Region has crossed the border and is heading towards Yuquan District."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback.

There is a border line between the Thai-Myanmar Administrative Region and the Tianfu Administrative Region, and the border troops are stationed along the border line.

Normally,

Criminals who smuggle themselves from the Thai-Myanmar administrative region to the Tianfu administrative region mostly cross rivers or come from extremely remote mountain cliffs.

The chances of success are not high, and there is a great chance that they will be intercepted by the border troops.

Most criminals, once intercepted, will run back.

What Jiang Yunliang meant by this was that...

After being intercepted, the criminal not only did not escape, but broke through the border guards' defenses and headed directly towards Nanjiang City.

Jiang Heng asked疑惑地问, "Have you found this person's identity information?"

Jiang Yunliang nodded: "We've found out. It's the same criminal who escaped from the Thai-Myanmar border prison last time, the leader of the mercenary organization Snake Fang, Peng Kuian."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then his gaze sharpened.

Snake Fang Group, a mercenary organization

These weren't the two stowaways he'd killed a month ago, nor the two men Jiang Heng's organization had captured before.

A man named Peng Xiaochuan had all his bones shattered from the waist down and died after only one day.

Another man named Lin Lang lay in his hospital bed for three days before also dying in the hospital.

Even if the leader of the Snake Fang Gang were to break through the border defenses, he would still arrive in Nanjiang City, and he was heading towards Yuquan District.

Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could they be after me?

If that's true.

How could this person, far away in the Thai-Myanmar administrative region, suddenly learn of the deaths of Peng Xiaochuan and his companion? Who told him?

Jiang Heng looked up and asked, "Chief, how capable is this person?"

"The border military's assessment is that it's in the mid-to-late stage of level three; otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to break through the border defense line."

Jiang Yunliang explained, "The General Administration couldn't pinpoint the person's exact location, but could roughly determine that he was heading towards Yuquan District."

We estimate it will take another two to three hours to reach the outskirts of Yuquan District.

Jiang Yunliang stood up and glanced at Jiang Heng and Duan Zhenyu.

"Therefore, the General Administration has dispatched a detachment to Yuquan District to set up defenses, and our Yuquan Branch will also participate in this mission."

One team is still eliminating the last remaining Hongmen rebels in Yuquan District, while the captain of the second team has already gone to the headquarters to carry out another mission.

Therefore, this urgent mission will be entrusted to the two of you.

Jiang Yunliang's gaze was serious as he continued:

"In the wild, we can still track this person's whereabouts, but once he enters the Yuquan District, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he will be hard to find."

If such a dangerous person were hiding in Yuquan District, he would probably cause us a lot of trouble!

Therefore, he must be killed before he enters Yuquan District!

"yes!"

Jiang Heng and Duan Zhenyu responded in unison, and then prepared to gather their team members to set off.

Jiang Heng's fourth detachment has not yet been established, and his current status is somewhat similar to that of the deputy captain of the third detachment.

However, he was the leader of the seventh group of the third detachment before, so it didn't matter to him at this time, and the old captain Duan Zhenyu didn't mind either.

Just then.

Jiang Yunliang's phone rang.

He answered the phone, listened for a few seconds, and then addressed the group:

"It's the branch from the General Administration. Let's go take a look."

He then put his phone away, paused, and added a sentence.

"This time, the 13th Detachment from the General Administration is coming. Everyone, please be aware."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the conference room first.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

He turned to look at Duan Zhenyu beside him and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong with the 13th Detachment? Why do we need to pay attention to them?"

Duan Zhenyu walked to his side and explained in a low voice, "The Thirteenth Detachment is not the problem; the captain of the Thirteenth Detachment is the problem."

You haven't been with the Wu'an Bureau for very long, so you don't know that Pan Ruifeng, the captain of the 13th Detachment of the General Administration, is a troublemaker.

He acts arrogantly and domineeringly, often disregarding consequences to steal credit, thus offending many people.

Jiang Heng was somewhat surprised: "How can someone like that be a team leader at the General Administration?"

Duan Zhenyu smiled helplessly: "Who can blame him? He was a genius before you. He was the youngest detachment captain in the Wu'an Bureau of Nanjiang City. He reached the third level of physical strength at the age of twenty."

Now, a year has passed, and he has already entered the late stage of level three. In the future, he may even be able to enter the Tianfu Martial Security Hall, so others can't do anything about him and can only tolerate him.

Jiang Heng nodded thoughtfully, and the two followed Jiang Yunliang to the entrance of the Wu'an Bureau.

At this moment, a young man who was nearly two meters tall, with a short haircut and a thick neck, stood in front of the Wu'an Bureau gate. His expression was calm and indifferent, and his aura was quite impressive.

Behind him, several police cars were parked neatly, and a squad of more than twenty officers from the branch were lined up outside the Wu'an branch.

This person was clearly Pan Ruifeng, the captain of the 13th Detachment from the General Administration.

Pan Ruifeng's expression changed slightly when he saw Jiang Yunliang approaching.

"Director Jiang, hello."

"Hello." Jiang Yunliang nodded slightly.

Pan Ruifeng's gaze swept over Jiang Heng and Duan Zhenyu behind Jiang Yunliang with a slightly scrutinizing look:

"Are these two the branch captains from the Yuquan branch who are assisting me in this operation?"

Jiang Yunliang frowned: "It's not about cooperating in combat, but about coordinated combat. There's no hierarchy or order of precedence."

Pan Ruifeng smiled, his expression unchanged: "It's all the same. Our headquarters has more experience in arresting these kinds of criminals."

The atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward after those words were spoken.

Beside Jiang Yunliang, Jiang Heng and Duan Zhenyu exchanged a silent glance.

They really are arrogant.

After Pan Ruifeng finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Heng and Duan Zhenyu and said:

"Are you both ready? Let's not delay, let's set off now."

Jiang Yunliang suppressed his displeasure, knowing that this was not the time to lash out, and then nodded slightly to Jiang Heng and the other person behind him.

Jiang Heng and the other man nodded, then gathered the third detachment and set off.

The two teams drove one after the other to the western border of Yuquan District.

Shangmei Street, in the western suburbs of Yuquan District.

At this time, the 13th Detachment of the General Administration and more than a dozen vehicles from the 3rd Detachment of Yuquan District were already parked at the street entrance.

Pedestrians and vendors in the vicinity have been dispersed, leaving only a few dozen members of the Wu'an team gathered there.

"Let's discuss a strategy with the two branch captains from Yuquan District."

Not far away, Pan Ruifeng walked over, his gaze sweeping over Duan Zhenyu and Jiang Heng, lingering on Jiang Heng for a moment.

His attitude softened slightly, showing some respect for the genius, and he said:

"You must be Jiang Heng. You've broken through to level three of physical strength at the age of eighteen. That's pretty good."

If there's an opportunity in the future, you can come work at headquarters, and I can help you achieve merit."

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow slightly but remained silent.

You—take me with you?

Pan Ruifeng withdrew his gaze and continued:

"Gentlemen, according to information obtained from the military, the criminals who have come this time are probably at the late stage of level three, and they will likely be difficult to deal with."

There is still a gap in strength between the General Administration and the branch offices.

The personnel I brought this time are all elites from the bureau, suitable for use as the main force in combat.

"As for the teams you two brought, they should set up backup on the streets to the north and south, just in case anything goes wrong."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhenyu's face darkened.

Your team can fight head-on, while my team is destined to be your supporting cast.

That's incredibly arrogant of me.

He frowned. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Pan Ruifeng calmly said, "This criminal's strength is at the late stage of level three, while Captain Duan is only at the mid stage of level three. I'm afraid you are no match for him."

Duan Zhenyu immediately said, "Then we should join forces to deal with this person even more."

Pan Ruifeng shook his head: "If we concentrate in one place, it will be easier for this person to escape. The only way is to separate our two teams and form an encirclement."

The stronger units should act as the main force, while the weaker units should provide support from the sides; this is the best way to capture them.

Duan Zhenyu was speechless for a moment.

These words seem reasonable, but they are actually just an attempt to steal credit.

The western suburbs of Yuquan District are a low-lying wilderness. If anyone were to appear, they could be spotted at a glance from a high vantage point with binoculars. There would be no need to expand the encirclement.

"—Okay, then let's do it your way."

He couldn't be bothered to argue with Pan Ruifeng.

Let them provide support; the overall strength of the Wu'an Bureau team in Yuquan District is indeed inferior to that of the General Bureau.

If they were to actually run into the criminal as the main force, the safety of the team members would also be a problem.

Since this guy is so eager for credit, let him do it himself. We can just sit back and pick up some scraps.

Pan Ruifeng nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, thank you for your understanding, Captain Duan."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his own group.

Duan Zhenyu turned around and comforted Jiang Heng:

"This guy is notoriously arrogant in the headquarters, Xiao Jiang, don't take him too seriously."

Jiang Heng nodded; he didn't pay any attention to Pan Ruifeng.

What he was more concerned about was whether Peng Kui'an, the leader of the Snake Fang Group, had come to Yuquan District to seek revenge on him.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Heng's eyes.

If so, then we must not give him a chance to escape; this man must die here!

Subsequently, Duan Zhenyu led groups one through three to set up a position three kilometers to the left of Shangmei Street, occupying a high vantage point for observation.

Jiang Heng then led groups four through seven to the right side of Shangmei Street to make arrangements.

As for Pan Ruifeng's 13th Detachment, they deployed personnel on Shangmei Street and two nearby streets.

"Cough cough, I'm really fed up. I only had two days of rest before I was dragged back to work. I don't even have time to focus on my cultivation for a few days."

Lu Zehai coughed twice and stood with Jiang Heng on the rooftop of an abandoned residential building, looking at the situation in the distance.

After being slashed by Ding Yan last time, he had been recuperating, which even delayed his cultivation progress.

Otherwise, he might already have reached the third level of physical cultivation.

Jiang Heng casually said, "Be content. I even gave you a week off. I've been working non-stop this week, and I haven't even earned many merit points."

Lu Zehai sneered: "That's right. You used to be able to get several merit points all the time, so naturally you wouldn't care about this little bit of merit points now."

During this period, the cleanup operation against Hongmen was nearing its end. Two days ago, the interrogation department awarded Jiang Heng 8,000 merit points.

Compared to the rewards Jiang Heng had received for his previous missions, this was indeed not much.

Since it was a collective task, he was only in charge of coordinating and didn't have many opportunities to take action.

Just as Jiang Heng was about to say something more, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

In the distance, a figure as sharp as an arrow suddenly shot out from the wilderness, heading straight for Shangmei Street on the left!

This person must be Peng Kui'an, the leader of the Snake Fang Group.

Jiang Heng frowned slightly: "This speed—is a full half hour faster than expected."

According to information relayed from the military,

Logically, this person should have arrived in Yuquan District in another half hour.

Ordinary vehicles cannot match the speed of a level three martial artist in the wilderness.

Peng Kui-an's ability to arrive ahead of time can only mean one thing: he was hiding his strength all along!

This person's true strength is even greater than the border defense forces and the General Administration assessed!

"Bomb 11"

A loud roar came from Shangmei Street as Peng Kui'an plunged straight into the defense line of the 13th Detachment of the General Administration.

A fierce battle erupted for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng saw Pan Ruifeng, the captain of the 13th Detachment, fly out of the air, his left leg severed on the spot by Peng Kui'an!

"Damn, what a piece of trash!"

Jiang Heng cursed inwardly.

He had originally hoped that Pan Ruifeng could hold off Peng Kui'an for a while until he arrived.

Who would have thought this guy couldn't even last two seconds?

At this distance, Jiang Heng channeled his Qi to his eyes and was able to clearly see Peng Kui'an's appearance.

He bears a resemblance to Peng Xiaochuan from back then, so it's almost certain that they are related by blood.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Peng Kui'an's purpose in coming to Nanjiang City was to cause trouble for me. It was just as Peng Kui'an broke through the encirclement of Shangmei Street and was about to disappear into the street.

Jiang Heng's eyes flashed with anger; he couldn't let him escape!

His body suddenly plummeted from the eighth-floor rooftop, landing with a thud!

Then it transformed into a bolt of black lightning and hurtled toward Fang Bao, who was fleeing from Peng Kui'an!

Only Lu Changhai, with a cigarette still dangling from his mouth, remained frozen on the rooftop, a question mark slowly appearing on his pocket.

Shangmei Street was now in ruins.

When Duan Zhenyu on the left arrived,

Pan Ruifeng, covered in sweat, leaned against the corner of the wall. His left leg had been severed below the knee by Peng Kuian, and a member of the Wu'an team was bandaging his wound.

Duan Zhenyu glanced at him with a gloomy expression, finally unable to hold back any longer and cursed, "Idiot!"

Pan Ruifeng gritted his teeth and defended himself, saying:

"The military misjudged his strength. This person isn't a late-stage Level 3 martial artist at all, but rather a peak Level 3!"

Duan Zhenyu ignored him.

If we follow Zi San's idea, the three branch captains should concentrate on Shangmei Street and attack this person simultaneously.

Even if they are no match for the enemy, they can fight and retreat at the same time, or temporarily entangle them, enough to hold out until the military reinforcements arrive.

Instead of being able to escape directly and disappear into Yuquan District like this.

"What the hell is this bad luck!"

Duan Zhenyu cursed.

Although the main problem with the failure of this mission lies with Pan Ruifeng, Zi San also bears some responsibility.

Besides, Yuquan District is also his home, where his relatives and friends live.

If Peng Kui'an's escape caused any trouble in Yuquan District, or even resulted in a death, Duan Zhenyu was furious and was about to contact Jiang Heng on the other side to come back and gather.

But then they saw Lü Changhai leading members of several other groups quickly gathering from the other side of the street.

However, Jiang Heng was not among them.

Duan Zhenyu was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Where is Jiang Heng?"

Lu Hai stopped and said quickly, "He went off alone to hunt down that criminal!"

Duan Zhenyu's expression changed slightly: "What?!"
