"Hahaha, well done!"
In a deserted mountain, Zhao Yan looked at the neatly packed boxes of gold in front of him, a smile on his face.
Thirteen armed men stood guard around them.
"Brother Luo, what exactly is going on here?"
Er Pi, Fei Zai and Xiao Shuai's faces didn't look too good. Zhao Yan had made these arrangements without telling them, which made them feel he didn't trust them.
"Don't overthink this. I do trust you guys, you just need to know that no matter who I've wronged, I would never wrong you," Zhao Yan said.
Only then did the three men's expressions ease up a little.
"Ding ling ling, ding ling ling..."
An urgent ringtone sounded from the phone.
Zhao Yan took it out and saw it was Huang Guofeng calling. This time, without hiding it from Da Lei and the others, he directly answered the call, "Hello, Officer Huang."
The agreement he signed with Luo Jiajun only stated that he could not actively expose his undercover identity.
But it didn't say he couldn't be passively exposed!
Making use of this little loophole should be fine, right?
Next, he was going to step into the spotlight. It would be better for them to find out about his undercover identity sooner rather than later.
"Luo Jiajun! What are you doing! Why did another group snatch away the gold halfway! How do you expect me to explain this to the boss!" Huang Guofeng thundered furiously.
Xiao Lei and the men keeping guard instantly changed expressions, looking at Zhao Yan in disbelief.
Zhao Yan remained calm as he spoke to Huang Guofeng, "Officer Huang, do you think I'm God? If you hadn't called me, I still wouldn't know that the gold was hijacked halfway by someone else."
"You can't return to the team for now. You have to help me retrieve that gold," Huang Guofeng said firmly.
Zhao Yan smiled, "Officer Huang, after working with you for so many years, I've been wanting to say something to you."
"What is it?" Huang Guofeng thought he was going to try to appeal to his emotions.
Slowly enunciating each word, Zhao Yan said, "F**k your mother."
After that, he directly ended the call.
"Big brother... You... You're a mole?" Da Lei looked at Zhao Yan, his lips quivering, voice shaking.
Zhao Yan nodded calmly, straightforwardly admitting, "That's right, I'm the police's mole. Older Brother Cai was also taken down by me. What, do you guys want to avenge him?"
"You're our big brother. I just want to know if you're going to arrest us?" Xiao Shuai pursed his lips.
Zhao Yan laughed heartily, "What's there to arrest about you guys? My hands are only for catching women."
Hearing this, the four men revealed smiles.
"What about you guys?" Zhao Yan looked towards those thirteen men.
The thirteen men looked at each other, and eventually one of them spoke up first, "When Older Brother Cai was around, we were just little brothers in a branch company. We weren't close with him. As long as Brother Luo doesn't look down on us, we're willing to work for you."
"You all think this way?" Zhao Yan smiled gingerly.
The crowd shouted in unison, "Brother Luo!"
"Good. As long as I, Luo Jiajun, don't fall, you will always have a mountain to lean on," Zhao Yan said as he took out a cigarette and put it between his lips.
Da Lei used his lighter to help light it for him, then asked, "Are you going back to the police force now?"
"Going back to the police force?" Zhao Yan chuckled lightly. He flicked some cigarette ash, then stood with his back facing everyone, one hand in his pocket, the hand holding the cigarette pointing at Lincheng below the mountain, "That is our Lincheng, full of extravagance and debauchery.
"Being a cop can only protect this city, but this city doesn't belong to the cops. So I want to become the master of this city! The true master!"
The wind blew, making his trousers flutter. Looking down on Lincheng, hair slightly messy, he was high-spirited.
"Ding ling ling, ding ling ling..."
His phone rang once again.
Zhao Yan put the cigarette in his mouth and answered the call.
"Luo Jiajun! How dare you curse at me! Do you believe that I can make you unable to return to the police force for life and be a gangster forever!" Huang Guofeng yelled furiously.
Zhao Yan smiled playfully, "Officer Huang, I have something good here that I want to share with you."
Next, he took out a voice recorder from his other pant pocket and played the recording from the other day of Huang Guofeng personally permitting him to kidnap Huo Tianyu.
"You... You were plotting against me!" In his office, Huang Guofeng was already drenched in sweat, tightly gripping his phone with a hand that had turned white. He asked in a low voice.
If this recording fell into the hands of Huo Xiaoqi, it was possible his whole family could be thrown into the sea to feed sharks.
Zhao Yan casually said, "I'm returning to the police force tomorrow. I need to be decorated with all the medals I deserve, otherwise, you know the consequences."
After saying that, he hung up again.
"Big brother, didn't you just say you weren't going back to the police force?" Da Lei was a little confused by Zhao Yan's actions.
Zhao Yan took a deep breath and let it out, smiling, "Just watch patiently. You'll understand very soon."
On the other side, after Huang Guofeng had raged fiercely in his office for a while, he tidied up his attire and went to see his superior.
He told his superior that taking down Madman Cai was Luo Jiajun's achievement, and successfully capturing Zhou Shen this time was also Luo Jiajun's achievement.
Now that the mission was accomplished, he should return to the team.
After Huang Guofeng's superior listened, he said that since Huo Tianyu had been kidnapped, and Huafeng Bank had been robbed, the citizens' emotions urgently needed soothing. So he decided to establish Luo Jiajun as a model, a hero.
They would hold a press conference to welcome him back to the team, and at the same time, the task of retrieving the missing gold would be handed to him.
...
On the afternoon of the day the bank robbery occurred.
Zhao Yan personally sent Huo Tianyu back to the Huo family home.
"Tianyu! My son! Were you hurt anywhere?" Mrs. Huo rushed forward to hug Huo Tianyu, crying tears of joy, her whole face flustered as she checked his body.
After being so frightened these days, the twenty-something-year-old Huo Tianyu bawled loudly in his mother's embrace.
Huo Xiaoqi shook Zhao Yan's hand, "I really can't thank you enough, Officer Luo. Please come in and have some tea before you leave."
"It is my honor." Zhao Yan smiled faintly, then followed Huo Xiaoqi into the living room. Sitting down, he said, "Mr. Huo, I need to apologize to you."
"What does Officer Luo have to apologize for? You have only shown my Huo family grace," Huo Xiaoqi looked at him in bewilderment.
Zhao Yan was full of guilt, "Mr. Huo, although I brought the person back safely, I don't have the money anymore. On the day I retrieved the money, the people Zhou Shen sent to monitor me took it to be laundered. I'm afraid you stand to lose about two to three hundred million."
"Then Officer Luo should not say such things. This is not your fault either. What's more, just a insignificant two hundred million is worth exchanging for Tianyu's safety," Huo Xiaoqi said heroically.
He didn't think Zhao Yan was lying to him, because from his perspective, a small policeman wouldn't have the guts.
Moreover, there were no logical loopholes in Zhao Yan's story, and the commission taken to launder black money was indeed this rate.
Zhao Yan heaved a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "As long as Mr. Huo does not blame me."
"Officer Luo need not be like this," seeing his frightened manner, Huo Xiaoqi was even more convinced there was no doubt, waving to Huo Tianyu, "Hurry and thank Officer Luo."
Huo Tianyu shuddered, shooting Zhao Yan a somewhat fearful look as he slowly walked up to him, "Th...Thank you, Officer Luo, for saving my life. I am eternally grateful."
Only he knew that the truth was completely different from what his parents believed. Zhao Yan was sinisterly ambitious!
But he didn't dare to speak out, because Zhao Yan held evidence of him murdering and secretly disposing of corpses multiple times, as well as his confession tapes blackmailing his own father.
Once it got out, he'd be done for.
Moreover, for a ruthless man like Zhao Yan, he now exuded an innate fear towards him.
Xu Tian and his bodyguards had all been killed in front of him before letting him return today.
When facing Zhao Yan, he couldn't put up any resistance.
Cough, but this seems kind of normal, right?
If he could, it would be abnormal instead.
"Young Master Huo is too courteous. This is just doing my duty," Zhao Yan said modestly.
Seeing Huo Tianyu's cowering appearance, Huo Xiaoqi thought he hadn't recovered yet and sent him to rest. Then he said to Zhao Yan, "I have always reciprocated favors. Tell me directly, what do you want?"
