She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1261: Pry Something Out

"Not good, retreat!"

Ruan picked up and put down easily, immediately leading his men to retreat. They were in hiding now and couldn’t afford to make a big scene.

As they retreated, Du Xiaosong naturally followed behind in pursuit.

Du Xiaosong couldn’t let go, and Ruan quickly realized this worked to his advantage. When he reached the door, he whispered, "Prepare to counterattack, he looks like a pushover."

"Exactly!"

"Ruan..."

"Uh..."

Ruan turned his head, only to see all his brothers behind him lying in pools of blood. His rage surged within, almost causing him to fall headfirst.

"Quickly retreat!"

"It’s him, it’s him, or else the Captain wouldn’t have died."

"Don’t rush now, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

Ruan had brought eighteen men, but only took seven back, except for the two who left early.

The little fat man and Du Xiaosong chased them out, seeing corpses lying around, nearly scared out of their wits.

"These were all spies, here to kill Meng Ping."

"Huh?" The little fat man gasped, covering his mouth and looking at Chen Yingjie in shock, "Are you serious?"

"What do you think?" Chen Yingjie rolled his eyes at the little fat man, clearly disdainful.

He squatted, reached out, and searched a corpse, finding an iron box and a bottle with Southern Border text on it.

"So... so Living Yama had us arrested to protect our boss?"

"Wishful thinking, it was his mistake, this is punishment," Chen Yingjie said disdainfully.

"Hehehe..." The little fat man was indifferent to what Chen Yingjie said! Anyway, he was convinced of Living Yama’s real intentions. Just days after the boss was caught, enemies came to kill him at night.

The place was supposed to be safe, and he finally felt at ease.

Du Xiaosong asked, "Are you still saving the Second Young Master?"

"No, absolutely not." He had seen it, someone had just escaped, and if they came back, wouldn’t his boss’s life be in danger? "Just lock him up, for as long as you want."

Face, money, and the like, compared to his boss’s life, it’s not even worth comparing. As long as the boss is alive, he can make any amount of money.

Du Xiaosong looked in the direction where Ruan left, worried, "Captain Chen, why didn’t we go after them? Letting them go will be more dangerous in the future."

Chen Yingjie smiled confidently, "No worries, he might not die here under my watch, but if he dares to return, he’ll be dead for sure."

Du Xiaosong looked at him puzzled.

"Our Captain is waiting in their lair! Just watch, this time he’s done for." Chen Yingjie knew Ruan, who was as cunning as a monkey. They had clashed many times in the Southern Border before, and he always managed to escape, but this time he’s done for.

When Ruan hastily arrived at the dilapidated courtyard door, his steps paused.

"Where have our people gone?"

"Probably went to smoke, these bastards are so irresponsible."

"Wait a minute and see whose turn it is, give them a good beating." Ruan led the way inside, but quickly realized something was wrong. The courtyard was empty; there should have been many busy digging tunnels.

He had given strict orders before leaving.

"Not good, quick retreat." Saying this, he tried to leave, but escape wasn’t possible once inside.

"Trying to leave? Dream on." Xu Qigang emerged from the courtyard, and the whole courtyard and street lit up instantly.

They were surrounded, secured on all sides.

"Living Yama!" Ruan glared at Xu Qigang with hatred, gritting his teeth.

Xu Qigang scorned the idea of threats and didn’t care to listen to them either; dawn was coming, and there was much to wrap up.

"Arrest him and take him to the Provincial Rescue Center."

"Yes!"

Ruan knew there was no chance to survive; falling into Living Yama’s hands was worse than dying. He aimed for the wall ahead, ready to crash headlong.

It was better than ending up in Living Yama’s hands.

Just as he was about to hit the wall, a strong force pulled him back, quickly dislocating all his joints.

"You know my nickname is Living Yama; if I don’t let you die, can you die?" Xu Qigang was thoroughly disgusted with Ruan.

"Take them away, dislocate all their joints."

"Yes!"

Soon, wailing cries tore through the night sky. The War Wolf Rescue Team wasn’t gentle, some even broke legs first; anyway, no one would say anything after they were sent in.

The night gradually passed, as the first light dawned, the night’s operations had ended. Xu Qigang sent a group to continue searching for any escapees and personally led others to search Shen Yu’s courtyard.

Yesterday night, Shen Feihu hadn’t slept while waiting in the office and came over with panda eyes.

"President, why didn’t you sleep all night?" Xu Qigang saw Shen Feihu’s panda eyes and frowned slightly. Age was getting to him; he thought he was still young?

"Nonsense, with so many of you out on a mission, how could I sleep?" Not only Shen Feihu, but also Meng Xingzhi and many from the Provincial Rescue Center hadn’t slept.

Tonight’s mission was a great success, and two groups were sent to the Provincial Rescue Center’s interrogation room overnight. Everyone was too excited to sleep, but just as they were, Shangguan Tao brought Xu Qigang’s message.

"Rest assured, when our Captain personally leads a team, when have we ever slipped up?" Chen Yingjie handed over to Zhao Changqi and also rushed over.

"How’s it over there?" Xu Qigang asked in a deep voice.

"No worries, at the time only Du Xiaosong and the little fat man were inside. Du Xiaosong reacted quickly, so there were no casualties."

"Hm!" Xu Qigang nodded, keeping watch as everyone searched the courtyard.

This courtyard was once renovated by Shen Yu with considerable effort and was rumored to be a Qing dynasty mansion. It’s large inside; the rockeries and corridors were constructed with unique features. Now it’s summer, and the lush vegetation made it harder than last time Shen Feihu and the others searched.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Feihu asked with his hands behind his back, "Do you feel something’s amiss?"

"Yes!" Xu Qigang’s face grew more serious. He initially suspected Li Xia had chosen the vicinity of Shen Yu’s courtyard for some purpose, but upon entering he had a sense of danger.

"There’s definitely something wrong here; keep searching." Xu Qigang carefully scrutinized the surroundings, his sharp gaze sweeping each place, suddenly stopping, he ordered, "Chen Yingjie, go find Shen Yu, it’s his turf, see if you can pry anything from him."

"Yes!" Chen Yingjie promptly left.

"If there’s nothing here, Li Xia wouldn’t have had people dig pits."

"You’re right, with reason for suspicion, it warrants thorough investigation. When the police dogs arrive, there might be findings." Last time they came, their main goal was to arrest Shen Yu and didn’t bring any police dogs.

"Hm!"

Shen Family Old Residence

At the breakfast table, Old Leader Shen sat at the head, sipping porridge. His assistant Long suddenly entered briskly. Bending down, he whispered for nearly three minutes before Old Leader Shen waved him out.

Seeing this scene, everyone put down their chopsticks, all eyes involuntarily turning to Old Leader.
