Chapter 98

At 7:45 PM, a dark green off-road vehicle suddenly drove into the police station courtyard. The guard on duty at the gate couldn't stop it; the car made a beautiful side skid and came to a stop right in front of the police station building.

Three guards quickly ran to the car, frowning, intending to educate the two people who had entered without announcing themselves.

"Hey, hey, hey, why so tense, we're all family," a young man jumped out of the driver's seat. Standing at 1.85 meters tall with a muscular build, his dark green tight T-shirt clearly showed his large pectoral muscles. He smiled faintly, not at all feeling that what he had done was wrong.

Then, a young and beautiful girl with a ponytail got out of the passenger seat. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her simple attire was complemented by her prominent bust, which could rival any model. Her noble and elegant demeanor left the three guards at a loss for words.

"Who are you?" The older guard, who could see through the situation, knew that these two young people were definitely not troublemakers. Their attire clearly indicated they were not ordinary people.

"We're looking for Chief Chen. Where is he?" The young girl spoke straightforwardly, with no intention of answering their questions.

The guard was taken aback: "You can look for Chief Chen, but you must register first. ID cards? Also, tell us who you are and which department you're from. This is a police station, not your backyard. Not just anyone can walk in."

The muscular young man smiled slightly: "It seems your boss is indeed tight-lipped, hehe..."

"You have no right to ask who we are," the young girl said with a hint of seriousness. "Which floor is Chief Chen's office?"

"Miss, don't be so pushy!" After all, they were police station guards, not ordinary security guards. "If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being unfriendly."

The young man hurriedly waved his hands in explanation: "No, no, no. Don't, don't use force. We are guests."

"Guests also need to register! Besides the Party Secretary, you're the first to enter without slowing down or announcing yourself!" The guard looked displeased, determined to stand his ground against these two.

The young and beautiful girl with the ponytail's face turned cold, feeling annoyed. The people here really didn't know how to be flexible; some confidential matters couldn't be discussed casually.

The young man, helpless, took out his phone and made a call: "Chief Chen, you should have received the notification of our arrival at the Hedong Police Station, right?"

...

It was almost 8 PM, and Chen Wei still hadn't left the police station. After reporting the Red Scorpion's activities in Hedong to his superiors, he received a clear response: since the other party was extremely dangerous, he should not act rashly. The superiors would arrange for two people to arrive at the Hedong Police Station that night, and he was to receive them and brief them on the situation.

Chen Wei had been waiting, though he was already anxious, he forced himself to remain calm.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing no number displayed, he frowned and answered: "Who is it?"

Many scam calls were from unlisted numbers, and Chen Wei was curious to see who would dare to scam him, the head of the police station.

"Chief Chen, you should have received the notification of our arrival at the Hedong Police Station, right?" The person on the phone was the young man downstairs, though Chen Wei didn't know it yet.

Chen Wei felt a wave of relief, finally, they had arrived: "I don't know where the distinguished guests are, but I'll send someone to pick you up immediately."

"We're right outside your police station, but the guards are too strict, and we can't get in," the young man said with a faint smile. "If you have rules that require registration upon entry, I can only say sorry, but we have our own rules..."

Chen Wei immediately understood the young man's intention and went down to greet them personally.

The three guards never expected Chief Chen to come down to receive them. These two were truly distinguished guests, as Chief Chen rarely greeted anyone personally, usually only those at the level of a full-time department head or above.

"Sorry, it was just a misunderstanding. I didn't inform the guards to avoid...," Chen Wei smiled, defending his subordinates, though he didn't explain further. The two understood that he was trying to keep things confidential.

The young man smiled faintly: "I understand. Shall we go upstairs and talk?"

"Thank you for your understanding," Chen Wei smiled, signaling the three guards to leave. He then curiously glanced at the young girl.

The information he received from his superiors was that two people would be sent to secretly capture the S-level fugitive, Red Scorpion. However, Chen Wei couldn't understand why one of them was a woman. The young man looked strong and seemed to be a skilled fighter, but a woman...

The young man seemed to read Chen Wei's thoughts: "Chief Chen, do you not trust the arrangements made by your superiors?"

Chen Wei was slightly taken aback, looking embarrassed: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just think... hehe, nothing. Please come upstairs."

The man and the woman followed Chen Wei upstairs. Despite his curiosity, Chen Wei's doubts remained. He knew how dangerous Red Scorpion was, and he couldn't understand why a woman was assigned to this task.

As the head of the Hedong Police Station, he was naturally uneasy. If anything happened to the people sent by his superiors on his turf, it would be a problem.

The three entered the chief's office. Chen Wei closed the door, drew the curtains, and then served tea to the two. He knew that the people sent by his superiors were not ordinary; though he didn't know which mysterious unit they came from, he was sure that anyone referred to as a secret unit was at least a major.

"Chief Chen, you don't need to be so formal with us," the young man interrupted Chen Wei's busy work. "We're here to get some useful information from you, not to drink tea."

Chen Wei sat down: "Yes, I will tell you everything I know... but, may I ask your names?"

The young man smiled: "You can call me Qinglong, and her, Yinxin."

Chen Wei was taken aback. Secret organizations were indeed secret, even their names were codenames: "Qinglong, Yinxin, I don't know your capabilities, but believe me, Red Scorpion is not an easy opponent."

"Have you ever faced him directly? How do you know his strength?" The girl with the ponytail, codenamed Yinxin, said casually. "If I were Red Scorpion, I wouldn't let any police officer who faced me off the hook."

Chen Wei nodded: "I haven't faced him directly, but I'm sure he's not an ordinary criminal."

The young man took a sip of tea, knowing that Chief Chen had something to say, and listened attentively.

"Perhaps you won't believe me, but in the Wenhui District of Hedong, there is a female police officer who is the only one in our Hedong police force to have achieved remarkable success over the years," Chen Wei said. "She single-handedly dismantled two criminal gangs and killed a Class A fugitive, Cang Ying Gong You."

Hearing this, the young man and the girl with the ponytail both raised their heads, looking at Chen Wei with suspicion. A female police officer capable of dismantling two criminal gangs wasn't surprising, but saying she killed a second-rate underground world expert like Cang Ying was hard to believe.

Chen Wei chuckled: "Of course, I didn't believe my subordinate could be such a prodigy, so I did some investigation."

The young man asked: "Perhaps she had help from someone else?"

"Yes," Chen Wei didn't deny it. "Though I have no evidence, I'm sure she doesn't have the capability to do it alone and must have had help from someone important."

This was indeed an interesting point. The young man and the girl with the ponytail exchanged glances, surprised that this small city might hide a skilled person.

"I once thought of using that person's power to deal with Red Scorpion. I thought my female subordinate would capture Red Scorpion with that person's help. Unfortunately, after so many days, I haven't gotten an answer. I'm worried that person might not be a match for Red Scorpion," Chen Wei said. "So, even though I haven't faced Red Scorpion directly, I'm sure he's extremely dangerous."

The young man nodded: "Chief Chen, that's indeed the case. It's fortunate that none of your people have faced Red Scorpion directly."

The girl with the ponytail frowned, curious about what kind of skilled person might be hiding in Hedong, and what their intentions were. Or perhaps, the mysterious skilled person didn't act against Red Scorpion because they were on the same side?

The girl with the ponytail didn't miss any suspicious points: "Chief Chen, can you tell me where your female subordinate lives? I want to know who she interacts with."

"I've investigated this. She doesn't live alone. She lives in a famous herbal restaurant in the Wenhui District, which seems to be owned by her sister," Chen Wei said. "However, there are no suspicious people in the restaurant."

The girl with the ponytail nodded, but she wasn't convinced. A truly suspicious person wouldn't show any suspicious signs, especially if they were skilled.

"Yinxin, you'd better not think too much about things outside the mission," the young man seemed to read the girl's thoughts and whispered a warning.

The girl with the ponytail ignored the young man's warning and looked elsewhere.

"I'm at a loss with Red Scorpion. I just confirmed the person protecting him, and Red Scorpion killed him," Chen Wei sighed. "Now, I have no leads."

"Chief Chen, it's getting late. We won't disturb you further," the young man stood up. "Since the mission is assigned to us, we hope your police force won't interfere. I don't want innocent people to die because of this."

Chen Wei's brows furrowed: "Don't you need our police support and cooperation?"

"You'll just be a hindrance," the girl with the ponytail said bluntly, without any courtesy.

The young man smiled helplessly: "If we need it, I'll contact you immediately. Thank you for your concern, Chief Chen. We'll take our leave."

"Then, I'll arrange accommodation for you two!" Chen Wei hurriedly said, as these were people sent by his superiors, and he needed to ensure proper hospitality.

"No need to be so formal. We can take care of ourselves," the young man stood up and left with the girl with the ponytail. Chen Wei rushed out to try to retain them, but failed.
