Then she didn’t realize that Li Chonglou was deliberately trying to pump her for information.
“You mean you’re worried they’ll encounter stronger enemies and trigger bigger conflicts?”
Lin Qianqian nodded. “According to my informants, three of the four major gangs have dispatched their core high-ranking members. If that weren’t the case, why would I need to seal off the scene?”
“You think I want to arrest people? I just don’t want innocent people to get caught in the crossfire.”
Lin Qianqian sighed as she said this.
As a police officer, instead of thinking about how to capture the gangsters red-handed when facing them, she had to establish a safe space for them. Anyone with a modicum of justice would feel incredibly stifled by such a situation.
“So what do you plan to do now?”
Hearing this, Lin Qianqian suddenly stared into Li Chonglou’s eyes.
“Uh, can you stop looking at me like that? I’m a little scared…”
“You’re scared? When you asked me to seal off the airport, you didn’t mention being scared. Now that something has happened, you’re telling me you’re scared?”
Li Chonglou was rendered speechless by her retort. He could only sigh and say,
“Just tell me what you want.”
“It’s not what I want, it’s what you should do!”
Li Chonglou remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
As expected, after a few seconds of silence, Lin Qianqian finally couldn’t help but voice her thoughts.
“Now that things have escalated to this extent, you alone can’t resolve it. But I want you to follow Long Fei and them and prevent them from escalating the situation further!”
Li Chonglou raised an eyebrow. “You mean you want me to stop them from arresting more people?”
Lin Qianqian didn’t reply, but her silence was an undeniable affirmation.
“That might not be a good idea. How can you be sure I can beat them? What if they don’t listen to me?”
“That’s your problem, but I believe you can do it.”
Lin Qianqian gave him an encouraging look.
Seeing that she was serious, Li Chonglou repeatedly shook his head. “No, you know me, I don’t want to get involved with them.”
Disappointment flashed across Lin Qianqian’s eyes.
But quickly, her eyes darted, and she came up with another idea. “In that case, since you caused this problem, you should be the one to apprehend them, right?”
Li Chonglou finally understood.
“So that’s what you’ve been talking about all this time.”
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes at her. However, Li Chonglou couldn’t refuse Lin Qianqian’s suggestion, as the incident had indeed originated from him.
Moreover, if Green Bull were indeed taken away by others, Li Chonglou wouldn’t be happy about it.
After all, Gao Baisong was still lying in the hospital.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou nodded.
“I’ll try my best then.”
“Try your best? It’s a must!”
Lin Qianqian said with some dissatisfaction.
However, Li Chonglou didn’t agree this time. If the Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability could still be used, this request would have been a piece of cake for Li Chonglou.
But the problem was that the Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability was currently unusable.
According to the intelligence, Green Bull was now mixed among the ordinary people. Finding him relied on luck rather than strength.
So Li Chonglou changed the subject and asked, “I’m a little curious, this is considered your territory, right? Knowing that they sent so many high-ranking members, didn’t your police department react at all?”
Although the headquarters sent Long Fei and the other six, it was clearly not enough. Furthermore, there were no elite troops around. Even if they deployed their Dragon Group, Li Chonglou felt it would be normal in this situation.
But in reality, besides the few people outside and the six sent by headquarters, the police department seemed to have truly washed their hands of the matter.
Lin Qianqian sighed. “This matter isn’t as simple as you think. Although many big fish have come this time, they are insignificant compared to the clues we are each tracking.”
“The most important thing is that even if we arrest all of them now, the charges that can be brought against them, or the sentences they receive, would not be enough to eradicate the hidden dangers.”
Li Chonglou frowned. “Then you’ll just let them kill people here?”
“Kill people?”
Lin Qianqian’s expression suddenly froze.
Li Chonglou recounted what had happened earlier, and Lin Qianqian finally understood the turn of events. She also immediately grasped the key point Li Chonglou was making.
“You mean they are very likely to go on a killing spree inside?”
“Highly likely.”
Li Chonglou nodded. Although the animal was just a probabilistic event, if another perverted scumbag like that emerged among them, the outcome would be similar to what they had predicted.
Lin Qianqian’s face turned serious, and she said solemnly, “I need to report this to headquarters. Long Fei and them might not be able to control the situation!”
“Then I don’t need to do anything, right?”
Lin Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
“You wish! You caused such a huge mess, and you still want me to clean up your mess?”
“Hey, I’m not as perverted as you are.”
Li Chonglou took a step back and looked at Lin Qianqian with contempt.
“You!”
“Alright, just kidding. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go in first. Oh, by the way, where are the ropes and handcuffs I asked for?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a police officer walked over from a distance, holding a large string of handcuffs.
“We couldn’t find the rope for the moment, so these are our spare handcuffs.”
Li Chonglou nodded, took the handcuffs, and said to Lin Qianqian again, “Then I’ll go in first.”
“Remember your own mission.”
“Mm.”
Then, Li Chonglou walked back into the airport.
Lin Qianqian immediately took out her phone and contacted the Beijing headquarters, reporting the news she had just received truthfully.
This time, she received a reply quickly.
“Leave everything to Long Fei.”
These simple eight words left Lin Qianqian extremely puzzled.
“What are the people upstairs thinking? Long Fei and them only have six people, how can they deal with so many people?”
Lin Qianqian became anxious, wanting to send police officers in to escort the passengers out. However, the culprit had mixed in with the ordinary crowd, and those gangsters clearly wouldn’t agree.
“Are we just going to ignore their lives?”
Lin Qianqian clenched her fists, her face filled with unwillingness.
On the other side, Li Chonglou returned to the airport with a large string of handcuffs and headed directly towards the waiting hall.
Although he had an additional task, Li Chonglou wasn’t in a hurry. The airport wasn’t very large for him, but the terrain inside was a bit complex. The most crucial thing was that there were too many stranded passengers. Searching for Green Bull alone would rely purely on luck.
It was better to follow Long Fei and them first.
Moreover, Li Chonglou still hadn’t figured out Long Fei’s strength.
Perhaps it was good luck this time; he didn’t encounter any other incidents until he found Long Fei and the others.
“Why did it take so long?”
They had been waiting there for a full ten minutes.
