Chapter 145: Chapter 130: There Is a Mole, Transfer of Command (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"Buzz..."

"Buzz buzz!"

Tang Tang, full of energetic vigor, waved her hand to issue orders. Just as she was about to give the departure order, her cell phone on the table started to vibrate with a "buzz buzz."

Thirty-seven pairs of eyes looked over in unison.

At Dongjiang Police Security Bureau, there was an unwritten rule that before any operation, all personnel must hand in their cell phones and receive internal communicators for mutual contact. Contacting the outside world, however, was prohibited.

But this did not include the commander.

The highest-ranking member of the Third Group was undoubtedly Tang Tang. This time, the operation was aimed straight at the Poisonous Snake Society, and it was she who, supporting Zhou Ping’an, unilaterally made the decision...

Just like Zhou Ping’an’s phone that would never block internal messages from the Third Group.

There were calls that Tang Tang couldn’t refuse.

And she had to be on call 24 hours a day, without rejecting any calls.

She stared at the name displayed on her phone for a full five breaths before pressing answer.

"This is outrageous. Cancel the operation immediately. The Third Group is getting bolder and bolder. Inspector Tang, do you know what time it is? My phone has been bombarded with complaints.

It’s not about you, but when handling cases, there must be proper methods. In broad daylight, to kill until blood is everywhere... that suspect..."

Tang Tang suddenly looked up, her gaze sweeping over everyone seated from the Third Group, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She took a deep breath, suddenly smiled, and leaned into the phone, "Hello, hello, is this Police Commissioner Wang? The signal’s bad here, I can’t hear what you’re saying. Whatever it is, I’ll report to you tomorrow."

"Click!"

Tang Tang decisively turned off her phone, slammed it on the table, her face nonchalant, and gave Zhou Ping’an a deep look, "Ping’an, I authorize you to take command of this operation. Despite all precautions, the leak couldn’t be contained...

I estimate that in no later than twenty minutes, someone will come to take that ’[Brother Wu]’ into custody. We don’t have much time left."

The Third Group had a mole.

It was an inevitability.

Living in this society, there are always many compulsions.

Some people just have different ideas.

In their hearts, what justice and fairness really meant wasn’t that important.

Joining Police Security was just for a comfortable and respectable job...

With that little salary every month, asking them to abandon everything and fight to death against evil, only happens in movies.

Those who could truly do that weren’t many.

At least, not everyone.

So, Tang Tang didn’t actually want to blame anyone.

She didn’t even inquire or investigate; she simply handed over command to Zhou Ping’an.

Since the last incident on Binjiang Road, Zhou Ping’an’s formidable strength and ruthless tactics had deeply shocked her.

Though she hadn’t asked in detail, deep down, she had already thought it over countless times.

How had he become so powerful?

What other abilities had he not yet revealed?

There was a moment when Tang Tang felt her junior from the same school had become profoundly alien to her, no longer the fledgling bird that once needed her protection.

When Zhou Ping’an by himself eliminated seventy-three "Night Hawk Team" members on the Black List, Tang Tang almost entertained the thought of stepping down and yielding her place to him.

If it weren’t for Zhou Ping’an’s outburst that day, the Third Group would have definitely suffered a huge blow, and who knows how many team members would have died in that battle.

’Although I love this job, my abilities are limited. The backlash from the Poisonous Snake Society is clearly too much for me to handle; it has already surpassed my capacity...’

"With the leak, my way of doing things will definitely be put under scrutiny. This operation, even before it has started, has actually failed."

At this moment, Tang Tang felt as if she was back at the scene of the incident on Binjiang Road, a sense of dejection rising from the depths of her spirit.

"Alright, Sister will stay by your side to observe and supervise. I will take command of this operation," said Zhou Ping’an, raising his head and flashing a big smile.

At this moment, he keenly sensed the sense of powerlessness in Sister Tang Tang’s heart.

The content of that call, with his eyesight, he had already clearly seen the displayed text.

It was from the Dongjiang City Special Operations Squad, the squad leader, Wang Yulin.

Simply put, he was the boss of these special operation groups, holding the rank of police inspector.

This person was intervening to take over the Poisonous Snake Society case.

And he intended to take away the "Brother Wu" they had brought in.

The events that occurred at the hospital entrance, whether there were complaints or not, at the very least proved one thing: behind the scenes, a vast force was at work, obstructing their efforts.

No wonder, after Ping’an’s father was murdered, the case was closed without further investigation, archived and forgotten.

The waters were deeper than he had imagined.

Thinking about Councilman Sun’s only daughter targeted by kidnappers, and the Poisonous Snake Society’s brazen attempt to abduct someone from the hospital today, Zhou Ping’an only felt a hand silently manipulating everything, quietly watching his meaningless struggles.

’Things are getting more interesting.’

’It seems that the other side knows better than I thought what amazing treasures I have obtained. Perhaps they do not know the true uses, but they undoubtedly know how precious this object really is.’

’That said, it doesn’t quite add up.’

A thought suddenly struck Zhou Ping’an, and he remembered something he had previously overlooked.

Back at General Wenshan’s Tomb, Master Dong fought his way out, seized the Broken Mirror, and embarked on a path of rapid martial progress.

Why did he turn hostile on the spot?

How was he so sure that the mirror was a treasure?

So determined that he risked his life for it?

The answer is simple: he had witnessed a miracle.

Perhaps it was not the function of this mirror specifically or maybe some other items that enlightened him to the fact that some unearthed relics were indescribably precious.

So, he hastily grabbed an item and immediately fled, inadvertently traveling to Another World and chasing after rapid improvement.

Zhou Ping’an had not forgotten.

Before they were dispatched to the first group to participate in the Wenshan case search, the file he saw described it this way.

[Dong Qingshan faced thirty-two long guns and pistols, killed fifteen with his bare hands, broke the encirclement, and escaped wounded.]

What kind of wounds did he suffer? Of course, gunshot wounds.

Pitting himself against thirty-two guns did not mean that there were only thirty-two participants in the excavation of the General’s Tomb; perhaps there were more who didn’t make it in time.

Why did Master Dong have the mirror in his possession? If he managed to find the opportunity to cross into Another World, why didn’t he wait a little longer before taking action?

Besides that damaged mirror, were there other artifacts unearthed at the same time, anything that exhibited miraculous effects?

The Wenshan case ultimately was not within the jurisdiction of Third Group. Due to its high level of confidentiality, even Inspector Tang couldn’t access more detailed information.

Of course, Zhou Ping’an had no way of knowing any of this.

But he could make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

He had already convinced himself that the other party must possess other mysterious items. Only with this certainty could he conclude that the item obtained by Master Dong was extraordinary.

And now, that power had almost confirmed that the item had fallen into their hands.

Therefore, they were resorting to any means necessary to try and seize it.

Without a doubt, the Poisonous Snake Society was nothing but someone’s extended hand, a sinister force in plain sight.

If he didn’t cut off this malignant hand,

they would always hide in the darkness, there would be no need for them to personally show themselves.

Therefore, pertaining to his own safety and benefit, Zhou Ping’an would not give up, even if the Heavenly King himself tried to stop him, it would be futile.

What’s more,

three years ago, his father, Zhou Changjun, was investigating the "Boxer’s Disappearance" case and subsequently met with misfortune.

Both overtly and covertly, this had a great connection with the Poisonous Snake Society.

In the past, he neither dared to investigate, nor had the authority to do so.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, now he could.

...

"I won’t make it difficult for you all. Tonight we face grave danger, and it’s likely we’ll encounter a brutal counterattack. They won’t surrender without a fight. Those who don’t wish to join, stay behind,"

Zhou Ping’an spoke with a detached expression.

He didn’t care if there weren’t enough people going with him.

Those who weren’t fully committed could actually cause more harm if they went...

It would be better to leave such dissenters behind.

If they missed today, the range of suspects could be narrowed down later for a thorough investigation to purify the team.

He just hoped there weren’t many of such people, and that they wouldn’t regret it later.

His gaze swept over the thirty-seven people and he noticed about three or four of them feeling uneasy, slightly lowering their heads.

"I won’t call names. Those who want to join me in battle, stand up and check your equipment..."

"Shush!"

Thirty-three people stood up at once. Beside him, Inspector Tang also got up with a solemn face, straightened his bulletproof vest, and meticulously checked the pistol at his waist.

Zhou Ping’an noticed that Wu Shi, who always spoke of "safety first," was also trembling as he checked his firearms and ammunition, his eyes flickering with a hint of murderous intent.

"Old Wu, you’re going too? Weren’t you supposed to stay at the base?"

Zhou Ping’an was greatly surprised.

"Ping’an, I’ve given this careful thought. If it were any other case, I’d be as far away as possible, but this time it’s different," said Old Wu, his face complex.

Yet in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of pain and hatred.

"I am, after all, one of the Yuhua Twin Dragons. Even though I’m old and not up for fighting, I haven’t abandoned my marksmanship," he continued.

"You?"

Yuhua Twin Dragons?

Zhou Ping’an remembered when he first joined the Third Group, it was Old Wu he followed.

The old fellow was known for his timidity, clear to everyone in the Third Group.

But no one doubted his skills.

As long as he wasn’t on the battlefield, he knew everything and was quite formidable.

Especially with marksmanship.

Whether moving or stationary targets, he shot with precision, as if it were an acrobatic feat.

However, once in action, he became like a person with malaria, shaking all over, and it was useless to talk about his marksmanship; he wouldn’t even show his head.

Besides his cowardice,

Old Wu had another flaw.

That was, he loved to boast.

During downtime on duty, he always boasted to Zhou Ping’an about how amazing he used to be, claiming the title "Yuhua Twin Dragons," with his divine marksmanship and unrivaled case-solving skills.

Of course, Zhou Ping’an usually took his words as jokes.

He didn’t take them seriously.

He just laughed it off without engaging.

But now, the old man spoke the name "Yuhua Twin Dragons" with an extremely serious tone. If it weren’t for the seriousness of the situation, Zhou Ping’an might have laughed out loud.

"Let him go," said Inspector Tang as he pulled Zhou Ping’an aside, whispering in his ear, "When I first joined, Old Wu was incredibly brave. Back then, he was known as [Gun Dragon] and was quite famous in the district.

The other Dragon, your father, the [Heavenly King] Zhou Changjun, is someone you should know about.

Besides the Yuhua Twin Dragons, there was also a famous figure known as [Blood Tiger] Jin Lin..."

By now, there was no need for secrecy or worry that Zhou Ping’an might do something dangerous once he heard the news.

Inspector Tang decided to disclose everything openly.

"When the investigation reached the Poisonous Snake Society, the three top experts in the district took action. [Blood Tiger] infiltrated their ranks, disguising himself and working as a boxer, while your father strategized from afar, tracking and investigating. Old Wu was the executioner, the sharp edge of the operation."

"Unfortunately, due to certain unexpected incidents, the case ended abruptly."

What exactly went wrong and why the operation failed weren’t evident from the case files.

Even Old Wu kept a deep silence about what happened back then, not wanting to talk about it.

But I’ve overheard some of the "old-timers" of the Third Group chatting and got a rough idea of what followed...

...
