Chapter 19
Betrayal
Pang Jing Dong could not even be considered as an unofficial police officer. It was impossible for Jing Ling Ling's lie to make sense.
From Pang Jing Dong's soldier-like behaviors, it was more convincing to say he was from the military. However, Jing Ling Ling happened to come up with a stupid lie which would undoubtedly be exposed eventually.
The truth was, Jing Ling Ling's intention was not to cover up Pang Jing Dong's ident.i.ty. Her att.i.tude toward Pang Jing Dong would not have changed so rapidly in a short period. It was quite the opposite, as she was now more curious about Pang Jing Dong's background, so she decided to find out everything about his ident.i.ty by herself.
”Oh! Are you currently under training?!” The vice-captain nodded his head and said thoughtfully, ”You're still so young, your future must be bright!”
After a brief conversation, the few were in silence. Pang Jing Dong and Jing Ling Ling guarded the windows, while the vice-captain kept an eye on the prisoner in a corner.
”Idiot cops, you guys were being surrounded. Release our boss and your lives will be spared!” A harsh voice was heard, followed by two gunshots.
”Run!” Jing Ling Ling was about to rush toward the exit before Pang Jing Dong pulled her back.
”Don't move first!” said Pang Jing Dong who kept his head down and walked around the room sticking to the wall, occasionally putting his ear onto the wall. He could hear slight movements on the other side of the walls. He returned to his spot before the window and told Jing Ling Ling, ”Don't move. We are being surrounded!”
”How did they find us so quick?”
”Filthy cops, hand over the prisoner!” The same harsh voice appeared again.
In that instant, the prisoner who had remained silent the whole time busted out laughing, ”HAHAHAHA! Idiot cops! You guys are f**king dead!”
”Shut the f**k up!” Pang Jing Dong rushed toward the prisoner and threw a fist at the right side of his face. The punch was so powerful that the criminal's face was swollen.
”Pfft!” The prisoner spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground and stared at Pang Jing Dong with hatred, ”I swear I'll kill you!”
”You?” Pang Jing Dong threw another punch at him and glanced at him with an icy cold expression.
The criminal group's leader had brought his gang to different parts of the country committing serious crimes; There were more than ten lives lost on his hand solely. There was a popular saying in the past, ”even a devil is afraid of an ugly mug”. Even though most people were afraid of him, but this time, he was quick to surrender when facing Pang Jing Dong. It was because the criminal sensed Pang Jing Dong's eyes to be fierce and malicious, while a ferocious and terrifying aura was felt from him, which gave the criminal an uneasy feeling. It was hard to describe the feeling, either verbally or with words.
The prisoner who had slowly softened his att.i.tude looked at Pang Jing Dong with a dull expression. He had no idea what kind of person he was facing, to an extent he was s.h.i.+vering before Pang Jing Dong.
”I just wanted to live a peaceful life, and because of you m**therf**ker…” Pang Jing Dong raised his fist again.
Upon seeing this, the vice-captain tried to interfere, ”Stop hitting him!”
Despite that, Pang Jing Dong chose not to obey and threw a kick at the prisoner's chest.
”What are you doing? You are not allowed to hit the prisoner!” The vice-captain used all his might to pull Pang Jing Dong away.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from the outside. Pang Jing Dong felt an impact on his left shoulder, which was spurting blood. Pang Jing Dong face turned pale, with his consciousness fading away gradually. As he was falling to the ground, he saw two men trying to rush in from the window.
”Stop them…”
… …
Pang Jing Dong could tell that he was not experiencing a black-out; He still had a sense of consciousness. Lost in a stance, Pang Jing Dong felt like he was back at 'The Third Highland'.
Many people would think the Delta Troops would launch their ambush at midnight; only Pang Jing Dong predicted it to happen at a different time, to give them a surprise. He was right as the Delta Troops suddenly appeared someday at dawn.
However, Pang Jing Dong made a mistake. He thought the enemies would drop from the air onto the Highland’s front and sides, which was not the case.
Behind 'The Third Highland' was a river full of twists. Its upstream was under the control of government's army. The Delta Troops followed the flow of the river in rafts and appeared at the back of the highland.
