"How should I address you" Li Minghao asked.
"Yang Fei."
Yang Fei realized that, having been in a high position for so long, he naturally carried an air of authority. But in front of this man, he felt completely overshadowed. If his demeanor was like that of a provincial governor, the other party seemed to be an emperor who controlled all life and death!
Who is this person At this moment, Yang Fei's heart was filled with endless doubts.
Yang Fei never would have thought that the person standing in front of him could actually be Li Minghao, whose reputation shook the dark world of China!
"Then I will ask you a question first," Li Minghao's voice devoid of any emotion as he said: "If after serving several years in the military and sustaining many injuries, you come back home to find your only sister raped by both the village head and his son, what would you do"
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei's eyelid twitched fiercely once again!
He had already realized that Li Minghao’s words were the truth!
"You mean to say, this body is..."
"No, first answer my question," Li Minghao looked straight into Yang Fei's eyes as if he wanted to see through him.
Yang Fei frowned and then said, "I would report it to the police. I believe in judicial fairness; they will receive appropriate punishment."
"That's not your answer." Li Minghao's voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you have a sister"
Yang Fei nodded: "Yes."
In fact, in Yang Fei’s heart, he knew exactly what he would do, but from his position, could he say such words
If his own younger sister were raped by a father and son who were worse than beasts, seeing her suffer like that, could he bear the urge to confront them head-on He would definitely wish to tear them limb from limb!
Li Minghao didn’t pressure Yang Fei for an answer. Instead, he said indifferently: "This person is my brother."
"When he came back from the army and saw what had happened to his sister, he took out a kitchen knife and killed that village chief on the spot, but the son managed to escape."
Yang Fei fell silent. He couldn’t say whether this was right or wrong; after all, law is impartial, yet people are not. As someone with blood and bones in his body, if he were in the same situation as Li Minghao’s brother, it was uncertain that he wouldn’t do the exact same thing.
"Later on, my brother received a suspended death sentence, but a year later I heard that his sister had committed suicide." Despite his calm demeanor, this news hit Yang Fei like thunderbolts!
“If not for these soulless father and son, how could such a tragedy happen They destroyed a family with their abhorrent act, driving it to ruin. Do you think they shouldn’t be held responsible” Li Minghao stared directly into Yang Fei’s eyes: "Director Yang, please give me an answer."
Even though it was winter and cold, Yang Fei could clearly feel beads of sweat breaking out all over his body, drenching his undershirt.
Having been a police officer for so long, despite being in office, Yang Fei’s sense of justice had not been eroded. Unlike many other cops who would say to hand it over to the law, this case was too shocking and tragic to be left solely to legal proceedings.
Even if he were put in such a situation, it wasn’t certain that he wouldn’t make the same choice!
Yang Fei was silent for a full five minutes before he spoke, saying, "If you come back with me, I assure you that I will do everything in my power to investigate this matter and clear your names."
Li Minghao smiled, but his smile was cold and piercing: "We are not naive. Someone has died here, and many police officers have been injured. If we go back with you, how can we ensure that we will be able to leave freely afterward"
"I will do my best," Yang Fei said earnestly.
"It won't help." Li Minghao pointed down the mountain: "So many special police were mobilized on short notice. I don’t think that’s within your authority as a vice director of the municipal bureau, right Don’t talk about trying your best; admit it—the situation is completely out of your control."
Yang Fei fell silent once more. Even if he wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, he was powerless.
"You can go down now."
"Me Go down" Yang Fei was surprised. He had assumed that Li Minghao would use him as a hostage to bargain with the police.
Li Minghao said, "I only called you up here to tell you a story. I can see that you still have a sense of justice. Since you are in charge on-site, handle things however you see fit from now on."
Clearly, Li Minghao had handed Yang Fei this difficult dilemma.
"Quickly! Faster!" Wang Zheng urged.
At that moment, a helicopter had already arrived over the airspace of Nanjiang Province. It took just an hour and a half to fly from the capital city.
He Yan’s network was all-pervasive throughout the country; such large-scale mobilization of police forces in Nanjiang could not escape his notice. Upon learning about this situation, he immediately asked Wang Zheng about the movements of Longlin’s group. It was only then that Wang Zheng realized none of his brothers were still in the capital city.
He Yan was straightforward and sent a helicopter right away, quickly taking Wang Zheng to the incident site in Nanjiang.
Yang Fei returned to the foot of the mountain without saying anything.
"Director Yang, what should we do Should we continue advancing" One of his subordinates cautiously asked. Indeed, these special police officers were scared by the shooting. The accuracy of those shots was simply godlike; more frighteningly, they had no idea where their opponent was hiding!
Yang Fei couldn't help but recall Li Minghao's unpredictable skills. One second he wasn't there beside him, and in the next second, he appeared behind Yang Fei. As a soldier himself, Yang Fei knew that even ordinary special forces soldiers couldn't do this; it had to be one of the country's top-tier special forces!
Top-tier special forces
The moment the term surfaced in his mind, Yang Fei involuntarily shivered!
Recalling the story Li Minghao told him, Yang Fei closed his eyes and shook his head. "Just surround them and wait here."
Half an hour later, when the loud roar of the helicopter echoed through the air, there had been no incidents during that time. The police hadn't advanced any further, so naturally, nobody was injured.
Li Minghao was right; this matter truly wasn’t within Yang Fei's jurisdiction. At least, Vice Deputy Secretary would be higher up than him. Therefore, Yang Fei simply decided to wait around and let the vice deputy make a decision.
"Sure enough, it’s a major case that has stirred our superiors into action—military helicopters have even been dispatched." Some of the police officers thought in their hearts.
Yang Fei himself assumed that a high-ranking official from the system had arrived and hurriedly went to greet them as they waited for the helicopter to land.
The cabin door opened, and Wang Zheng appeared. His eyes narrowed into slits upon seeing these special police officers!cle of itself in front of the entire nation, and then give you a severe beating to ruin your reputation among peers, making you a laughingstock of the criminal underworld!The prestigious number one cr...
