Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 751: Someone else is in charge of this case (Part Two)

Li Chao gritted his teeth. “Alright, I’m all in. Don’t worry, I’ll arrest him, and I guarantee that no one will be allowed to let him go free! But Mr. Fang, you have to come back quickly. I’m afraid I can’t hold him for long.”

“Okay, I will be on my way,” Xu Cheng said.

Li Chao hung up the phone and took a breath before he ordered his team members, “Take him away!”

The police surrounding the villa surrounded the car without a word and gestured for Liu Xianming to get off the car.

Liu Xianming was mad. “You dare to arrest me?”

“Well, I guess I shouldn’t disappoint you.” Li Chao pulled open the door and dragged Liu Xianming out.

His bodyguard wanted to come over and help, but Li Chao took out his pistol and pointed it at him. “I can execute him on the spot if you take another step! Try me!”

Liu Xianming’s face turned red. “Very well, I’m going to remember you. Li Chao, right? I will praise you by name at the conference.”

“Thank you in advance,” Li Chao said as he dragged Liu Xianming towards his police car.

Liu Xianming’s lawyer scolded, “I will file a complaint against you, just you wait.”

Li Chao was already an arrow on the string, and he couldn’t care any less as he brought Liu Xianming back to the police station.

Meanwhile in the police station, someone from the provincial unit was criticizing Ran Jing’s decision in her office.

Ran Jing said, “I don’t have my hands on this case anymore. Li Chao is Li Chao, and I can’t control him.”

“Is he not one of your people? That’s how being a Chief works, right? Just run the protocol and release him. We’ll investigate the other suspects and get evidence from them first.”

“It would be impossible to gather evidence from them.” Ran Jing continued. “If they dared to do this, they wouldn’t leave a loose end. All the orders were given unidirectionally, those anglers don’t know who’s feeding them the fishes, and the manager of the South Gate simply doesn’t know about the drugs in the fish belly. That means none of them knows who’s behind them, so where would this interrogation end up at? The only key person in this is Liu Xianming, and he’s the key to the case. You’re asking me to release him and interrogate the puppets. We’ve alerted the snakes and this case cannot be stopped here.”

The superior: “The drug manufacturing site was busted, and the entire supply chain was destroyed. What’s not to be satisfied with?”

Ran Jing: “Of course we’re not satisfied. Our goal is the entire South and East gate, not just finding a few scapegoats and convicting them to solve the case. If we don’t get rid of them from the roots, they’ll be back again! Besides, Li Chao really won’t listen to me. Have you forgotten where he got transferred here from and which team he belongs to right now?”

The superior worked at the Shangcheng Police Deputy Department before, so he obviously knew which group Li Chao belonged to in the past. He grinned and said, “Of course I know, the most foul-tempered second team.”

Ran Jing said, “He admired the former policeman Xu Cheng, and although he’s gone, Li Chao and Wu Gang did not give Xu Cheng disgrace. Li Chao even replaced Xu Cheng’s seat to become the head of the second group. Who do you think his temper resembles?”

The superior grunted and left Ran Jing’s office.

Ran Jing breathed a sigh of relief and hoped, Mr. Fang, I hope you can take on this like a man.

Meanwhile, Li Chao was called outside after he threw Liu Xianming into the jail.

“Where’s your discipline?” The superior scolded at him without hesitation.

Li Chao was smart enough to know that he must pass the buck to withhold the pressure.

He said, “Boss, I’m not to blame for this. I’m very disciplined and I only know how to obey orders.”

“Obey orders?” The superior sneered, “Whose orders do you obey? Do you know how much pressure I am under? The network of these people is forcing me to a dead end.”

Li Chao let out a bitter smile. “I’m really obeying the orders of my direct superior. In case you forgot, someone else is in charge of this operation aside from Chief Ran Jing.”

The superior was stunned. “Who?”

Li Chao: “Mr. Fang from Yanjing! If you want to protect Liu Xianming, you’d better find Mr. Fang first. I can’t release him without the orders from Mr. Fang.”
