C45 (1/2)

Not daring to delay, I grabbed my car keys and ran down the corridor. I knew that the Bureau had a special right to take prisoners to the execution ground without having to go through a trial.

Ten minutes later, the execution ground is twenty kilometers away from the Bureau of Investigation. I should be able to make it in time, so I drove my car to the execution ground.

The uniformed officer at the entrance raised his hand to signal to me. Then, he suddenly stepped on the throttle of the car and smashed into the door that was guarded by the police.

Of course, I knew the consequences of this. If I barged into the court, the armed police would fire directly. As expected, the moment I crashed open the door, the windshield was also shattered by a few bullet holes.

To my relief, Ding Lan's execution had not yet been carried out, her hands were tied behind her back, and she was being fed a box lunch by a policewoman. The traditional Chinese custom was to eat a full meal before being sentenced to death. Although it was a superstition, it hadn't changed for many years. After all, it was the last meal of her life.

I opened the door of the car and saw a few armed police officers holding guns aimed at my head. What made me hate, however, was that the Chief and a bunch of members of the Intelligence Services Department were all involved in the execution.

I raised my hands and walked slowly toward the boss.

Yi Tianxing laughed mockingly when he saw me walk over. He waved his hand at the police, ”Don't worry, it's a comrade from the Bureau. Let us in!”

I walked over with a smile on my face. ”Huang Quan, carry out the orders personally made by the bureau chief. The evidence is conclusive and the criminals have to admit and sign on the spot. There are so many guns here, are you careful? ”

The boss walked down the stairs. ”It's about time. Let's begin!” Two armed police officers dragged Ding Lan Xin to the centre of the court and pressed her to her knees. They aimed their rifles at the back of her head and waited for the CEO's command.

The boss walked in front of me and smiled. ”I've given you more than one chance. Your future prospects should have been very promising. In the Intelligence Department, you should have made even more headway.”

I turned my head to look at Ding Lan Xin, who was kneeling on the floor. The boss was the executive officer, so the moment he waved his hand, the armed police officer would pull the trigger.

I also smiled. ”If I had followed you back then, perhaps your goal would have been accomplished long ago.”

”You seem to know something?” The old man's eyelids slowly sank.

I was on guard and tentatively asked, ”Boss, I respect you as a senior, so you have to leave a way out for me.”

”What do you mean by back off? The execution book. Ding Lan Xin has already signed it. No one can save her.” Huang Quan, I advise you to give up on this idea! ”

”I'm sure of saving Lan Xin today. Boss, you're a smart person. Don't you think about the consequences?” A drop of sweat unconsciously rolled down my temple.

At this moment, I thought to myself, if I were to reveal this matter, not only would I not be able to save Ding Lan Xin, I would also be involved in this.

”Gloria, what do you mean?” The boss' eyes darkened, ”If you want to test your strength, I can accompany you. You can also wrongly execute the execution later. How about it?”

”Boss, you can't!” Yi Tian Xing said anxiously.

I shook my head. ”Boss, you've misunderstood. You said earlier that I'm a talent, and that no matter how capable I am, I'm not even a tenth of what the boss is. If the Bureau had been led by the boss, I'm afraid I would have already made it to the top.”

The boss's eyes slowly narrowed, ”Wait a moment.”

The policemen behind us were stunned. They looked at us and slowly lowered their guns.

The boss took a step forward, pressing his cheek very close to mine, ”I have always loved to take risks. I am willing to try anything that is exciting. Huang Quan, what do you mean? ”Say it again.”

I pointed back at Ding Lan Xin. ”This is my woman. Before I was convicted, I already said that I only want her in this life!”

”Love and righteousness!” I wonder if you dare to face death head-on? ” The boss revealed a sly smile.

”As long as Ding Lan Xin is alive, I can unconditionally obey the Chief.”

”Can I trust you?”

”This... The boss wants to take a gamble. ”

The smile on the boss' face slowly turned into a big smile, ”Alright, anyone who is capable will have some pride. Huang Quan, I will give you face today. Even if you don't come to the intelligence department, I will still let you know who I am.” The boss stopped smiling. ”Tian Xing, loosen up Ding Lan's heart.”
