Chapter 389: Chapter 389: There are bandits

"You carry out the mission. I’ll just sit in the car and wait, it’s not like I’m causing any trouble."

Xiao Zheng flicked his cigarette ash out of the window and sat back with one leg crossed over the other, looking like the epitome of unconcern.

"You!"

Xiao Yufei glared at him furiously, then addressed the other two detectives, "Little Liu, Old Qi, did you bring your guns?"

"Got them right here, don’t worry about it."

Old Qi and Little Liu slapped their waists confidently, answering that as detectives, they were allowed firearms, though their ammunition was limited.

Xiao Yufei had no time to pay further attention to Xiao Zheng, smoothly shifting gears in a fluid motion. The siren of the police car wailed.

Speeding away, Xiao Zheng enjoyed the breeze, leisurely smoking his cigarette, quite at ease.

"Officer Xiao, can you shoot a handgun?"

"What’s there to it? I’ve shot countless times at the range, hit the target every single time."

Boasting as she drove, Xiao Yufei seemed to embody the top female cop.

Xiao Zheng stubbed out his cigarette, fawning shamelessly, "Officer Xiao, when you have some free time, could you give me a hands-on lesson on how to shoot a handgun? Let me have my fun too."

"Haha..."

Detective Little Liu couldn’t hold back a laugh, clearly an old hand at this.

No one in the entire police force dared to say such a thing, yet someone from the streets had scored a first.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yufei turned her head and seeing Little Liu’s reaction, said irritably, "What are you laughing at? Even if he wants to shoot, I don’t want to teach him."

Dammit.

This girl really doesn’t get it. Seems like a decent girl, not like some fangirls.

Watching her spirited figure and dainty waist, Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, "Hehe, one day you’ll agree."

"Psh, I don’t have time for you."

Xiao Yufei snorted in disdain and then took out the walkie-talkie to make a situation report.

"Calling command center, this is Xiao Yufei, currently on Cultural Road. No sight of the robbers’ vehicle."

"Command center received. Officer Xiao, continue east on Cultural Road, turn left at the second traffic light onto the alleyway. The robbers are planning to use the back roads to dodge the pursuit. Ensure your safety above all."

"Received!"

Xiao Yufei put down the walkie-talkie and instructed, "Old Qi, Little Liu, check your firearms, get ready for the arrest."

"Yes!" Little Liu and Old Qi busily complied.

Xiao Yufei looked at Xiao Zheng again and cautioned, "If there’s a gunfight later, you stay hidden in the car and don’t pop your head out, or you’re on your own."

Shit.

A gunfight? Just a rusty old shotgun, what kind of gunfight could there be?

Xiao Zheng curled his lip dismissively and said helplessly, "Then how about I be your driver? You handle the arrest."

"You?"

Xiao Yufei shook her head decisively, rejecting his offer, and steered the police car down the alley at breakneck speed.

After about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, a Jinbei van appeared ahead, desperately fleeing with black smoke billowing. It seemed to be burning oil.

Xiao Yufei said excitedly, "Their car’s got a problem, no wonder they can’t drive fast. Little Liu, Old Qi, get ready to intercept."

After speaking, she blasted the police siren and shouted, "People in the vehicle ahead, pull over for inspection, pull over for inspection."

"Vroom..."

However, the Jinbei van revved its engine, spewing black smoke, and sped up, widening the gap from the police car.

"Bastards!"

Xiao Yufei smacked the steering wheel in anger, her eyebrows knitting together as she floored the accelerator and rapidly gave chase.

Just then, a shotgun barrel protruded from the Jinbei van and fired at the police car.

"Bang!"

"Fuck!"

Xiao Zheng was startled and quickly ducked his head to dodge the bullets.

And Xiao Yufei was not to be outdone, as the right rearview mirror had been shot off and the car window was also cracked.

She had to slow down, being careful not to anger the robbers.

"Where did these merciless robbers come from?"

"Officer Xiao, why don’t I drive and you handle the shooting?"

Xiao Zheng once again made the offer, and this time Xiao Yufei nodded in agreement.

"I like the sound of that, watch out for the shotgun in front, bullets do not have eyes."

Xiao Yufei slowed the police car down to a stop on the side of the road, and they switched positions, with Xiao Zheng now at the wheel and Xiao Yufei in the passenger seat.

"Vroom"

Xiao Zheng fastened his seatbelt, shifted gears in rapid succession, and the car’s speed soared to the max as Xiao Yufei screamed in alarm.

As they drew closer, the robbers resorted to their old trick, sticking out the shotgun and firing a shot.

"Bang!"

"Sizzle"

Xiao Zheng, with his keen senses, maneuvered the police car skillfully; the engine roared in tune as he deftly avoided the bullet.

"Phew, how about that, Officer Xiao, is my driving skill cool or what?"

"Stop showing off!"

Xiao Yufei rolled her eyes, anxiously saying, "We need to figure out a way to make an arrest, no matter how well you drive, it’s useless without catching them."

Xiao Zheng nodded and suggested, "Officer Xiao, it takes a lot of effort to load those old shotguns. I’ll provoke them one more time, and after they shoot, I’ll drive alongside the Jinbei van, and then we’ll have our chance, won’t we?"

"That could work!"

Xiao Yufei gave a faint nod to Xiao Zheng’s suggestion; under the current circumstances, it was the only option.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately swerved the car to the side, and sure enough, the robbers stuck out the shotgun and fired mercilessly.

"Bang"

"Sizzle"

After evading the shot, Xiao Zheng boldly sprinted forward, driving parallel to the Jinbei van, side by side.

He honked the horn arrogantly, shouting, "Listen up, robbers, you can’t escape! There are roadblocks ahead, you won’t get away, surrender peacefully."

At this moment, it was clear that there were two robbers, one driving and the other holding the shotgun.

Hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, they believed them to be true and no longer moved forward, instead heading toward a nearby barren hill.

"Follow them!"

Xiao Yufei watched the Jinbei van change direction, frantic and angry, she slapped Xiao Zheng’s arm.

Xiao Zheng quickly turned the steering wheel to chase after them.

This was an uninhabited dirt road that only allowed one vehicle to pass at a time.

Therefore, there was no chance for the police car to drive alongside anymore.

"Officer Xiao, shoot the tires of the Jinbei van, force them to stop."

"You got it!"

Xiao Yufei didn’t think twice, taking out her service pistol she delivered a swift shot that struck the rear tire of the Jinbei van with precision.

"Buzzing hiss..."

The tire of the Jinbei van deflated immediately, its direction veered, hastily crashing into a clump of trees on the side, ramming into a large tree.

With a "bang,"

the glass shattered, and the robber driving was cut across the neck by the flying shards of glass, dying on the spot.

The armed robber didn’t even bother with him, slinging the backpack over his shoulder, grasping the shotgun, and running toward the barren hill.

"Stop!"

Xiao Yufei, along with three others, stopped the car and gave chase, firing warning shots, hoping to force the robber to stop.

But the robber was unmoved, running for his life like a seasoned criminal, already entering the barren hill.

What he hadn’t expected was that even after only robbing a secluded gold shop in the suburbs, the police would be able to catch up so swiftly. "It’s my rotten luck," he thought.
