The two police cars quickly noticed several private vehicles speeding towards them. The opposing vehicles, with their aggressive intent, bypassed the officers and blocked the road ahead. If they wanted to pursue forcefully, they would have to ram into the other cars. With so many vehicles on the road, even a collision might not guarantee they could keep up.
"Captain Zheng, several cars are blocking our path," one officer reported.
Hearing this, Zheng Rufeng immediately understood that the other side had sent people to create chaos. "Let's follow them for now. If we don't get a chance to communicate, we'll pull back."
This conversation was overheard by Lin Yuan, who realized they had left a backup plan in place. Zheng Rufeng looked over with concern, knowing that this pursuit was likely going to be fruitless. The drugs were probably not fully delivered yet; since this was their first attempt, the opposing side would surely be on high alert now.
Lin Yuan was unfazed. "Don't worry about me. Even if I go in alone next time, they'll still be cautious. If they can anticipate my arrival, they will also expect me to bring backup."
"Let's withdraw for now," he suggested.
Seeing his determination, Zheng Rufeng felt there was no point in continuing the chase. Since the other side was prepared, it was better not to waste time here. He led Lin Yuan back to the police station.
Although Lin Yuan had already checked that the new type of drugs were safe, it was still best to send them to a professional agency for testing. As they returned, two officers approached with expressions of shame; if they had been a bit faster, they might not have been caught up at all, but it wasn't entirely their fault.
"Have you found out who is behind this?" Lin Yuan asked as he entered Bai Ling's office and noticed only one document remaining on her desk. It was related to the testimony of a witness known as Butterfly.
"Qing She," Bai Ling said with a slight headache as she rubbed her temples. This name wasn't new to her; however, it was the first time she had heard it in this context.
Noticing that Bai Ling seemed like she wanted to say something more, Lin Yuan took a seat. "What did Butterfly say?"
With the bag of new drugs as evidence against her, Butterfly knew she couldn't escape and thus revealed most of what she knew. The main issue was—
Bai Ling looked at Lin Yuan with an expression that suggested it was complicated. "You were too harsh when you confronted her. She had never dealt with the Hua Country police before and grew up abroad; she thought our methods were similar to yours."
"Where did all this strength come from?" Lin Yuan awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Wasn't he thinking that if he didn't act this way, the other party would have him at their mercy? How could they allow themselves to be controlled like that?
Anyway, the deed was done, and Bai Ling couldn't say much more. He revealed what he knew. The person called Qing She was actually not from Haishi; based on current information, it seemed highly likely that they were from Haishi. The reason for so many wanted criminals gathering was to transport drugs. Only those who were reckless would engage in such activities, and many people actually had no connections. Qing She rarely met with others, so that person couldn't be him. Lin Yuan understood this point clearly.
"Do you know about the case in Jiang City six months ago?"
Lin Yuan shook his head; at that time, he was still busy working day and night and had no time to pay attention to such matters.
That drug case involved a significant amount of narcotics, and over a hundred people were dispatched to the capture team, suffering more than half casualties. Most of the drugs had already been seized. The last time Huaguo suffered such heavy losses was years ago.
"Years ago?" Lin Yuan questioned the timeframe.
When this time was mentioned, Bai Ling's face rarely showed a hint of nostalgia and regret. It must have been something significant for him to reveal such emotions, as he usually kept to himself in the office.
"I was still in school back then, about to graduate. Because my grades were exceptionally good, I was assigned to intern at the police station."
Jiang City was quite different back then; it was well-known on various levels. Due to the police station's outstanding execution and case-handling speed, higher authorities provided considerable support in terms of infrastructure and economy.
Everything came to a halt because of that case.
"Bai Ling," he said, "I won't go into details with you; let me just tell you the conclusion."
The amount of drugs carried by the opposing party was even greater, and their personnel were more extensive, which is why that operation involved many people, including a whole armed police company. The majority of those involved were from that company.
Unfortunately, the consultant within the police station made a wrong decision, leading to significant personnel losses—half of them perished.
Lin Yuan noticed that the other party did not mention any injured personnel; it was likely that the dead accounted for the vast majority. If the consultant made a mistake, then where was he now? He had disappeared for a while and returned with those drugs.
No one knew what he had gone through, or how those drugs were brought back. I was clear that his vision had deteriorated, and then he resigned in shame. No one knew where he was now.
Bai Ling calmly finished this part of the story and then looked at Lin Yuan. Did you feel anything? Just like years ago, was there some connection between the two?
I knew you would think that, so I investigated the links, but there has been no conclusion. A vague figure had already formed in Lin Yuan's mind. Perhaps the system had told him those things, and others were not entirely unaware either; they might also be looking for someone.
I mention this to remind you to always be cautious when facing these reckless revolutionaries. Stay calm and think objectively. Bai Ling warned him. They can be very impulsive; once provoked, the consequences could be unimaginable.
You did well to have Team Zheng withdraw from this situation, but remember to clarify your conditions next time. Don’t put yourself in danger; you are only acting in my name, not as me. This was his way of advising Lin Yuan as a senior.
Got it, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, indicating that he understood.
About that case from years ago, can I check it out from here?
Go ahead. His office was connected to the police department's internal network, so Lin Yuan could look up whatever he wanted; after all, it was all in the past.
Thinking of something else, Bai Ling spoke again: The butterfly has regained consciousness and has made a request after giving her statement—she wants to see you.
What does she want? You have a secret with her.
He did not scrutinize Lin Yuan with curiosity or judgment; he simply stated it as it was. Whether to meet or not was up to you, but after tonight she might be transferred to a holding cell.
