Chapter 230 - You Are Under Arrest (2/2)
Of course, Lei Hang did not have conclusive proof that Xiao Luo was the one who wiped out the Red Scorpion Mercenaries, but there was sufficient circ.u.mstantial evidence to make that case. But, it did not matter to him, as Xiao Luo was a significant threat to the Dragon Gang. Instigating the Blackwater Company and Khun Sa to target Xiao Luo would be in the interest of the Dragon Gang.
The man was shocked when he heard that, then gritting his teeth and said, “As they say, don’t judge a book by its cover.” He carefully folded the sheet, then made a slight bow to Hei Lang with both hands clasped in front of his chest. “I will report everything to my boss. I believe my boss will be very grateful for the efforts you all have dedicated to the task.”
“Mr. Khun Sa is a great friend of the Dragon Gang. This is the least we can do to help a friend,” Hei Lang returned the gesture and said.
The green-haired man dragged a hefty chest over. He opened it to show its contents, and it was filled with stacks of red-colored bills.
One of the man’s subordinates went through the contents and then nodded to confirm the money was all there. On the other end, Hei Lang had his men check the quality of the product in the sacks, and after a short while, they signaled him with a thumbs up.
“Alright, Mr. Hei Lang, I’ll see you around!”
The man with fish-eyes clasped his hands together in front of him and gave Hei Lang a slight bow. It was a gesture of courtesy in their part of the world, as had been done since ancient times. There was no reason for him to stay any longer now that the deal had been concluded, and he made haste.
“Don’t move, you are under arrest!”
A thunderous voice suddenly reverberated through the night air and alarmed the men at the jetty.
The voice issued from a stack of containers nearby, and as everyone stared at the direction, a black figure somersaulted down, landing lightly on the ground before them.
Xiao Luo wore a loose, black hooded sweater, and in the dim light, it resembled a smock worn during medieval times in Europe. He had elegant features, good looks, fair in complexion, deep-set eyes, and perfectly-shaped lips. But yet, as he stood there, a threatening and dark aura emanated from him.
Immediately he raised his arms and pointed the two guns he held at the group of surprised men. One was aimed directly at Hei Lang.
It was none other than Xiao Luo!
“So, I’ve caught you all red-handed, what impeccable timing!” Xiao Luo couldn’t help a wisecrack as his lips curled into a cold, confident smile. But his gaze remained intense, he knew what he had to do tonight.
Khun Sa’s man narrowed his eyes and snarled, “You are a cop of this nation?”
“Yes.”
The man asked again, “It’s just you?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Luo answered matter-of-factly. He was, of course, the drug enforcement team’s vanguard and had already neutralized all the sentries posted by Hei Lang. w.a.n.g Yongjia and the rest of the task force were now making their way to the jetty.
“Hahaha… you as dumb as a pig. Are you here to seek your death?”
The man laughed loudly and pulled out his gun to shoot Xiao Luo.
But Xiao Luo was a step faster. A piercing report issued form the barrel of his gun, and the bullet penetrated the man’s palm, causing him to drop his piece.
“Don’t move, if you do, I guarantee the next bullet will hit your head!”
Xiao Luo chuckled, seeing the man’s shocked expression. Of course, had he known that the man had information on him, he would definitely have killed him with a headshot outright.
“He is Xiao Luo!” Hei Lang screamed at the man.
The man startled and looked at Xiao Luo intensely. This person in front of him was indeed the same man in the information sheet handed to him. He was now facing someone who had single-handedly annihilated a host of well-trained, Red Scorpions Mercenaries. His expression changed, and he knew he would be going up against a very dangerous adversary.
