At 11:30 p.m., a silver minivan drove in from the darkness and stopped outside the glass factory.
Tang Yan lay on the ground and watched Cheng Bin unload a large box from the car and enter the glass factory with the assistance of two people.
If his guess was correct, the box should contain the innocent pregnant woman.
Cheng Bin had chosen this place to prevent Tang Yan from tampering with the complicated environment. There was nothing around.
He didn’t believe that Tang Yan could play tricks like this.
“Tie her to the chair,” Cheng Bin ordered his two men.
The pregnant woman was wearing Feng Shanshan’s clothes and jewelry. Her figure was similar to Feng Shanshan’s, and she was covered with a black cloth. He didn’t believe that Tang Yan could still recognize her.
The pregnant woman was unconscious as she had been drugged till she knocked out.
“When Tang Yan arrives, stand guard at the door. If there’s any movement, give me a signal immediately.”
“Got it, Brother Cheng.”
Cheng Bin had tied a bomb to himself and the pregnant woman. Anyone who dared to come near them would be turned into meat paste.
Time was approaching minute by minute. People from the station had appeared in the wasteland a few kilometers away from the abandoned factory. The police force in charge of investigation had also quietly arrived. The main force would move according to the information from their colleagues in the frontlines, and they would also narrow down the area.
The bureau chief was in charge. He was afraid that Tang Yan would do something stupid. In comparison, Sheng Xiao was much calmer. There was not the slightest hint of panic on his sharp face. It was as if he was more able in stabilizing the overall situation than the chief.
Time slowly ticked to twelve o’clock.
Tang Yan got up from the side of the rubbish heap and approached the glass factory silently.
“Brother Cheng, he’s here.”
Cheng Bin’s subordinate informed him.
“Alone? There’s no trace of the police?”
“Indeed, he didn’t even drive a car,” the subordinate replied.
“Let him in…” Cheng Bin couldn’t wait any longer. He stood behind the pregnant woman with a homemade weapon in his hand. When he saw Tang Yan come in, he was extremely excited.
Tang Yan was alone. He didn’t have anything in his hands and his body had been searched by the two subordinates. Other than a dagger, there was nothing, not even a gun.
“I’m here.” Tang Yan walked four meters away from Cheng Bin and stopped. “What do you want in order to let her go?”
“Let her go?” Cheng Bin laughed. “Tang Yan, as a police officer, you shouldn’t be so whimsical. You and your beloved woman, your family of three, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you all died together?”
“Let her go. I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
“You think you can still negotiate with me?” Cheng Bin shouted. “Tie him up!”
Tang Yan had been observing the pregnant woman. From this, he could conclude that it was indeed not his Shanshan, but an innocent and pitiful victim.
The two men moved quickly and took the rope they brought to tie Tang Yan up.
Tang Yan was pushed to the ground and he lay there without any resistance. “You’ve got what you wanted. Can you let go of this innocent pregnant woman?”
Cheng Bin was stunned for a moment and his expression changed slightly. “Tang Yan, this is your woman. Don’t try to play tricks on me. If it weren’t for your woman, would you be willing to come here? Beat him up.”
The two subordinates pounced on him at the same time and kicked Tang Yan’s junior and lower abdomen. It lasted for about three minutes, and when they saw Tang Yan Spit out blood, Cheng Bin finally asked them to stop. “Don’t beat him to death. He hasn’t experience the torture I’ve suffered over the past few years.”
Tang Yan was curled up on the ground in a sorry state. His mouth and eyes were full of blood. “Now… can we let go of that innocent pregnant woman?”
Cheng Bin was curious. Seeing that Tang Yan was willing to be beaten, he almost laughed out of anger. “How do you know that this isn’t your woman?”
“Shanshan… doesn’t have such a big shoe size.”
Cheng Bin looked at the woman’s feet and instantly felt deflated, but he nodded. “How touching. He knows his woman very well. Since you’ve already noticed, I’m not afraid to tell you that she is indeed not your woman.” After saying that, Cheng Bin lifted the woman’s hood. “She’s an innocent woman. Because of you, I took her.”
“Do you want to know where your woman is?”
Cheng Bin squatted on the ground and looked at Tang Yan. “She’s in a dark place with blood all over her body. By the way, she even had a miscarriage. Do you know? Blood all over the ground. I’ve never seen such a tragic scene.”
“Shut up!” Tang Yan shouted. “Shut… cough cough… shut up.”
Cheng Bin took the opportunity to grab Tang Yan’s collar and pulled him in front of him. “So many of my brothers, because of you, were sent to prison. Their families were destroyed, their wives were sick, and they died. Your woman’s current state is considered light!”
After hearing Cheng Bin’s words, Tang Yan suddenly laughed. “Criminals are criminals. Trash is trash. Even your excuses are so shameless.”
“Because of your so-called brothers, selling drugs and committing all kinds of evil, how many families in this world have been broken and all of their families dead? Talk about justice with me!”
Cheng Bin was enraged. He punched Tang Yan’s face again and again to vent his hatred.
“They are all our brothers.”
“They are brothers with you and enemies with me! A policeman is a policeman, and a bandit is a bandit!” Tang Yan answered firmly.
Cheng Bin could not tame Tang Yan, so he stood up in exasperation. Then, he slowly revealed a smile. “So, you say that a policeman is a policeman, and a bandit is a bandit? Fine, then I’ll let you, a policeman, kill the pregnant woman in front of you with your own hands. Let’s see how many tough bones you still have!”
After hearing Cheng Bin’s words, Tang Yan suddenly laughed despite being covered in injuries. “Seeing you like this, I’m even more certain that my woman is unharmed because you’re just Jin Bo’s pawn. You don’t have the power to control my woman. As long as she’s not in your hands, what do I have to fear?”
“I’ll kill the pregnant woman, but say I was threatened by you. The law will give me a lighter punishment, and you will die without a burial ground!”
“Who do you think will survive today?” Cheng Bin suddenly sneered. “You… and me, we should all die with our dead brothers.”
On the other side, the chief was very anxious. “What’s the situation inside?”
“Cheng Bin is very excited. Captain Tang is in a bad situation. If he gets beaten again, I’m afraid he won’t be able to take it.”
“He can take it,” Sheng Xiao told the chief with certainty. “He told me that he would wait for me for half an hour.”
As someone who had been undercover, how could he not have this little capability?
