Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1237 The Arrogant Cao Nan

Looking at Chen Jiaju's expression, Lü Mingzhe nodded: "Jiaju, welcome to the team!" Then he went to the whiteboard and shouted: "I'll assign tasks. Afeng, you lead the team to seal off all the nearby entrances and exits. Jiaju, you lead the team and I will break down the door together..."

"set off!"

At Lü Mingzhe's command, a joint team from multiple departments, including the Major Crimes Unit, PTU, and the uniformed squad, headed towards Cao Nan and his associates' hideout.

At this moment, Cao Nan and others were discussing the plans for their next operation in a residential building.

“Our target this time is also an armored truck. Having learned from the last experience, we need to be even more careful this time…” Cao Nan said, standing in front of a map.

"Blind Dragon, let's put the recruitment on hold for now. This incident has blown up quite a bit, and I'm worried that word might leak out, and we might even recruit a mole. So let's stop for now."

This morning, Cao Nan bought newspapers from various publishers, but none of them reported on the incident of people being beaten at the Central District Police Station yesterday, as if they knew nothing about it.

This made him feel uneasy, giving him a deeper understanding of the police force's power.

Hearing Cao Nan's words, Manlong had no objections and nodded, saying, "Okay, Brother Nan."

Just then, Tao Chengbang suddenly said, "Brother Nan... my former boss, Brother Pa... has been released from prison."

Cao Nan looked up at him, then at Blind Dragon beside him. Seeing that Blind Dragon had his head down, she realized that Blind Dragon also knew the news.

He knew very well that Tao Chengbang and Manglong had previously followed the same boss.

"Well, what are your thoughts?"

Tao Chengbang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Nan, didn't you say you'd do one more job and then quit? Manglong and I plan to follow Brother Pa after we pull off this one. After all, he used to be our boss."

Cao Nan smiled and said, "No problem. I want to retire from this life of crime. It's normal for you to want to leave as well. I can't expect you to retire with me."

Just then, Tao Chengbang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the footage on the monitor and said, "The police are here."

Cao Nan's face darkened: "Grab your weapons!"

Outside the stairwell, fully armed police officers, carrying shields, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, walked at the front, followed by a group of fully armed officers.

When they arrived at the door of Cao Nan and his group's stronghold and were about to break down the door, Cao Nan, who was inside the house wearing a mask, suddenly fired a shot at the door while holding a grenade launcher.

The grenade was fired and exploded the instant it hit the door of the house.

"boom!"

The violent explosion severely injured the police officers at the entrance, who were thrown backward and lay on the ground screaming in agony.

Fortunately, the shields and the full armor protection reduced the number of casualties.

Otherwise, this one grenade could have reduced the number of police officers at the entrance to less than half.

After Cao Nan finished firing the grenade, he tossed the grenade launcher to Tao Chengbang, who was standing to the side, and then took out a hand grenade, pulled the safety, and threw it.

"boom!"

Another explosion occurred at the entrance, sending shrapnel flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Nan rushed out with an automatic rifle and fired a finishing shot at the police officer lying on the ground.

When the grenade exploded, Lü Mingzhe was dazed and disoriented. When he saw the grenade, he quickly lay down to avoid the shrapnel.

When Cao Nan came out to finish him off, he could only roll down the stairs to avoid the shooting.

Seeing this, Cao Nan smiled and did not give chase. Instead, he ran in the other direction, with Tao Chengbang and the others following behind.

Chen Jiaju was also stunned by the explosion. When he shook his head and saw that the lagging blind dragon was trying to escape, he pounced on him.

Seeing this, Cao Nan and the others wanted to come to their rescue, but Lü Mingzhe had already recovered and led his men to rush up.

"withdraw!"

Upon hearing Cao Nan's voice, Tao Chengbang and the others hesitated for a moment before decisively abandoning Manglong. At this point, trying to save someone would only put themselves in danger.

To even block the pursuers behind him, Cao Nan threw another grenade.

"Lie down!"

Lu Mingzhe kept a close eye on Cao Nan's movements. As soon as he saw Cao Nan throw a grenade, he immediately shouted for everyone to lie down.

Using grenades to cover their retreat, Cao Nan and the others went downstairs. When A Feng and the others tried to stop them, he used grenades again to blast a path and escaped with them.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiaju had also subdued Manglong. After all, he was the War God of the Furniture City. Although the environment he was in was not the most advantageous, Manglong was not a master either. He was directly subdued by Chen Jiaju.

Lu Mingzhe's face was extremely grim. Looking at the wounded scattered on the ground, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Jiaju, take this guy back. As long as he's willing to identify Cao Nan and the others, then we won't have come away empty-handed."

Chen Jiaju nodded, looking disheveled: "These bastards are too arrogant, using heavy weapons and grenades with impunity. Next time we must call the Flying Tigers, otherwise it will be too difficult for us to deal with them."

Lu Mingzhe nodded. He understood that he had underestimated Cao Nan and his group this time. He hadn't expected that after the last robbery, the other party had actually increased their firepower and purchased grenade launchers, hand grenades, and so on.

Back at the Central District Police Station, Tung Piu frowned as he looked at the disheveled members of the Major Crimes Unit and asked, "What happened?"

After learning what had happened from Chen Jiaju, he sighed, "Next time we must call the Flying Tigers. By the way, interrogate that robber properly and catch him. He's the only breakthrough we have now."

Lu Mingzhe immediately began a surprise interrogation of Manglong. Just when he felt he was about to succeed, there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room.

“Inspector Lui, there’s a lawyer outside. He says he’s Chen Baoyuan’s lawyer and wants to see his client. By the way, this Chen Baoyuan is the person you’re interrogating right now.”

Lu Mingzhe gritted his teeth, wanting to refuse, but he was a very rule-abiding person. It was in accordance with the rules for a lawyer to see his client, and it would be against the rules to refuse him the meeting.

Chen Jiaju, standing beside him, was different. He impatiently shouted, "What's there to see? We'll talk about it after we've finished the interrogation."

The police officer at the door looked troubled and said, "Inspector Chen, that lawyer brought a lot of reporters with him. I'm worried things will escalate."

Upon hearing this, Chan Ka-kui's heart skipped a beat. Yesterday's events were still fresh in his mind. If he were photographed again this time, Uncle Piu would probably be furious!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lü Mingzhe beside him.

Noticing Chen Jiaju's gaze, Lü Mingzhe took a deep breath and said, "We can let them meet."
