Chapter 151 - 0151: Isn’t It Just Setting Off Firecrackers?

Chapter 151: Chapter 0151: Isn’t It Just Setting Off Firecrackers?

The southern outer ring of Binhai City was already nearing the Suburb County area.

The surroundings were desolate, filled with abandoned farmland, warehouses, parking lots, construction sites, timber mills, and the like.

Inside a nearby warehouse, the large iron gate was shut tight.

Outside, over a dozen vehicles were parked, with drivers sitting inside, all with their engines still running.

Men with fierce appearances stood outside the cars, their eyes constantly sweeping the area.

Inside the warehouse, two groups were in the midst of a transaction.

The goods being traded were none other than drugs—the kind that could cost you your head.

The police had been watching these individuals for over half a year and were ready to make their move tonight.

The Southern Police Station was also involved in the operation, tasked with miscellaneous responsibilities.

When action was taken, they would only need to manage traffic and intercept the drug dealers on the outskirts.

Ding Xue sat in her car filled with frustration, thinking back to her days at the police academy where she was always first in everything.

She hadn’t expected to end up with a menial job after graduating.

If her family patriarch hadn’t intervened, she would have undoubtedly been part of the criminal police team by now.

Tonight, the director of the Binhai City police, Wei Dongming, after issuing an order through the walkie-talkie, immediately got a response from the traffic police department, "Reporting to the Director, the owner of this vehicle license plate is named Lin Shanshan, a student at Binhai University!"

Everyone in the car could hear through the walkie-talkie, and Ding Xue frowned, "Shanshan?"

Wei Dongming scolded, "Ridiculous, what’s a university student doing here in the middle of the night, drive them away immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

The traffic police squad answered, and two officers were promptly dispatched to deal with the situation.

Ding Xue anxiously opened the car door and got out.

Old Zhang in the car shouted, "Xiao Ding, where are you going?"

"I’ll be back soon, just going to take a look."

Ding Xue called out, emerging from the hiding spot in the alley, and ran toward the road in the distance.

Long Fei took all the firecrackers and fireworks out of the trunk and piled them up on the ground.

Lin Shanshan, timid, retreated far away, covering her ears even before they were lit.

Long Fei lit a cigarette, took a drag, and smiled at Lin Shanshan, "Aren’t you going to set off one, too?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head, "I’m afraid I’ll blow myself up!"

Long Fei chuckled, "It’s not that serious, very safe."

He touched the cigarette end to the firecrackers, and with a hiss, sparks flew.

Immediately after, a barrage of crackling sounds spread all around, echoing like gunfire, enough to make ears hurt.

Long Fei took cover and laughed, "This thing is pretty loud!"

Director Wei Dongming in the command car was close to tears, cursing out loud, "What the hell is going on, who’s setting off firecrackers now!"

The team below reported back immediately, "It’s from the same car you had us chase away!"

Wei Dongming took a deep breath and promptly ordered, "All units, pay attention, all units, pay attention, move in now, we can’t let a single one get away!"

The noise from the firecrackers might have startled the drug dealers, or it might have been a signal to them.

He could not take that risk; otherwise, half a year’s efforts would be in vain.

Squad cars swiftly converged from all directions, their sirens blaring loudly.

Long Fei had just lit the fireworks, which were still hissing as they shot quickly into the sky, bursting loudly in the night air.

At the sound of the police sirens, he and Lin Shanshan looked at each other, nearly scared out of their wits.

Damn it, they were just setting off fireworks; yet over thirty police cars were charging straight for them.

Lin Shanshan yelled, "What are you waiting for, run!"

She hurried to the car and got in.

Long Fei followed, grumbling, "I heard that the Environmental Protection Agency banned fireworks, but I didn’t expect them to enforce it so strictly!"

"You’re telling me!"

Lin Shanshan lit the firecracker, stepped on the gas, and tried to escape.

At this moment, two traffic officers came over and blocked the car, shouting at them, "Where are you running to, get out of the car now!"

An operation was in progress, and this road had already been blocked.

They were meant to drive them away, but who knew that they would set off firecrackers; now they weren’t letting them leave at all.

"Grandpa, isn’t this a bit too harsh!"

Lin Shanshan inwardly complained and exchanged a look with Long Fei before they both got out of the car together.

The two traffic officers were panting heavily, pointing at them and shouting, "You two are finished, I’m telling you, this is at least ten years in prison!"

Long Fei clicked his tongue and said, "Big brother, setting off a firecracker can’t be that serious, right?"

Lin Shanshan put on a pitiful face and cried, "Grandpa, I just set off a firecracker, and they want to lock me up for ten years!"

The two traffic officers shouted, "Both of you keep quiet, if you don’t cooperate, we’ll lock you up!"

Long Fei and Lin Shanshan immediately shut their mouths.

Gunshots soon rang out from a distance, nonstop popping sounds.

Wei Dongming guessed right; the drug traffickers were startled by the sound of firecrackers and were indeed planning to escape.

Luckily, the preparations were adequate, and the police had timely blocked all sides, allowing only a few drug traffickers to break out by car.

The others were stubbornly resisting in the warehouse.

Long Fei pointed in the distance and shouted, "Officer, there are people setting off firecrackers over there too, go catch them first!"

"Right, right, right, go ahead, we’ll stay here and be good," added Lin Shanshan, her mind already plotting the escape route.

"That’s none of your business!"

"You two should worry about yourselves instead!"

The two traffic officers were amused by their banter.

Suddenly, a coy shout came from behind, "I’m exhausted, I finally made it!"

Ding Xue, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, leaned against the car and took two deep breaths.

Lin Shanshan immediately called out with excitement, "Sister Xue, what are you doing here?"

The two traffic officers thought Ding Xue was one of their accomplices, pointed at her, and shouted, "Who are you, kneel down first!"

Ding Xue gave them a cold look and pulled out her police badge, telling them, "I’m Officer Ding Xue from the Southern Police Station, I’ll take care of these two, you guys go and help out!"

"So it’s one of our own!"

"Alright, we’ll leave these two troublemakers to you!"

The two traffic officers laughed, waved their hands, and left.

Ding Xue shook her head at Lin Shanshan and Long Fei, wondering what kind of luck they had to end up setting off firecrackers here.

As soon as the two traffic officers left, Lin Shanshan quickly stood up, grabbed Ding Xue’s arm and complained, "Sister Xue, what’s been going on recently? Setting off a firecracker and they want to sentence us to ten years?"

Ding Xue laughed heartily, "They were just scaring you two! But you almost ruined an operation, a little criticism is unavoidable."

Curious, Long Fei asked, "What operation?"

Ding Xue pointed to the distance and said, "Catching drug traffickers!"

"What?"

Long Fei and Lin Shanshan furrowed their brows, not expecting to run into this.

No wonder the police had made such a large deployment earlier, it was like a Hollywood crime blockbuster.

Ding Xue looked into the distance feeling regretful, "What a pity, such a great chance to distinguish oneself."

Lin Shanshan and Long Fei looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

Before she could finish speaking, a beam of light shone over.

A Range Rover was speeding from afar, its engine roaring loudly, louder than Lin Shanshan’s earlier ride.

Director Wei Dongming was shouting through the walkie-talkie, "Attention all units, we must stop that Range Rover, license plate Binhai 5566. I repeat, at all costs, stop that car."

Ding Xue suddenly shouted excitedly, "Oh my God, here’s the chance to make a mark."
