From Liu Qiang, Han Ning learned that the next transaction was about to begin.
Wang Jing immediately left the interrogation room and called her superior to report the situation.
After obtaining permission, she arranged for the various departments to coordinate their counter measures and arrange surveillance. She wanted to ensure that tonight’s drug cleanup operation was foolproof.
Han Ning, on the other hand, was left in the interrogation room by Wang Jing. She wanted him to find more clues from Liu Qiang.
After Wang Jing left the interrogation room, he did not continue the interrogation. Instead, he sat on the chair and studied his new system.
His silence frightened Liu Qiang.
“Detective… Officer… I’ve really told you everything I know…” Liu Qiang said with a sad face.
His thoughts were interrupted, and Han Ning could only turn his attention to Liu Qiang.
However, Liu Qiang didn’t wait for Han Ning to ask any questions and started explaining himself.
“Oh, right. Officer Han, I remember something else. The person who delivered the goods to me. Everyone calls him the Arhat. He used to work at the South Bay Pier.”
“Do you know this Arhat’s real name?” Han Ning asked.
“I’m not sure if it’s true, but I heard that Arhat’s real name was Cheng Xing. He had been living in South Bay for more than ten years. In the end, he was recruited by Bodhisattva to do a big business. At that time, the other gangsters were all extremely envious of him.”
Liu Qiang forced a smile as he revealed the information about the Arhat.
“Oh, looks like you know quite a bit of information. Do you want to recall a bit more for me?” Han Ning sneered.
“I heard that Bodhisattva has nine Arhats under his command. Typically, Arhats who come to South Bay to trade are newly promoted. Is this true?”
“I really don’t know if it’s true or not. I’m just a middleman, not an organization member…”
Liu Qiang was on the verge of tears.
Han Ning touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
…
At night, South Bay Pier Port Three.
Han Ning brought Liu Qiang to his company.
Wang Jing used Liu Qiang’s company as her police command center.
“All the employees have been dealt with, and the port staff have been evacuated secretly.” Wang Jing paused.
Han Ning was puzzled.
“Han Ning, I need you to sneak into Port Nine to pick up the goods tonight. Do you have any questions?”
Wang Jing looked at him seriously and said.
“No problem, Team Leader. I will get it done!” Han Ning answered without hesitation.
“Don’t worry. The arrangements for the entire South Bay have been completed. Whether it’s at sea or inside the harbor, we have already set up an inescapable net. Tonight, we will definitely capture the Arhat with this operation!” Wang Jing said firmly.
“By the way, during the operation, you must remember to take care of your own safety,” Wang Jing said before Han Ning could respond.
Han Ning nodded.
Midnight.
Port Nine.
According to Liu Qiang’s recommendation, Han Ning disguised himself as a lackey leader who came to collect the goods. He blended in with the other drug dealers who came to collect the goods and carefully observed his surroundings.
He stood at the edge and the drug dealers in the field gathered in groups of twos and threes to whisper.
Everyone remained vigilant towards the unfamiliar Han Ning. No one took the initiative to talk to him.
The drug traffickers present were all leaders with more lackeys. There were a total of nine leaders, and each of them had many trusted aides.
Han Ning, on the other hand, was alone. It was as if a vacuum had formed around him, making him very conspicuous.
Not long after, the whistle of a freighter came from the dark sea far away.
When the freighter reached the shore, a group of people walked down from the ship. The leader was the Arhat, followed by six armed subordinates.
He was wearing a black windbreaker and an Arhat mask that covered his face.
His footsteps were steady and strong, and his figure was tall and sturdy. It was obvious that he was a martial arts practitioner.
After disembarking from the ship, he silently glanced at everyone present. Unsurprisingly, he saw Han Ning who was out of place with everyone.
As a newcomer, it was normal for him to receive his attention on his first meeting with the Arhat.
“You’re the newcomer recommended by Liu Qiang, Ah Ning?”
The Arhat looked at Han Ning and asked in a low voice.
Han Ning replied calmly, “I am.”
“Why have I never heard of someone like you before?” The Arhat questioned.
“We’re not in the same circle. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of me.” Han Ning was neither humble nor arrogant.
The Arhat’s eyes beneath the mask looked angry.
“You better be telling the truth.”
Han Ning didn’t answer him. He looked into his eyes expressionlessly.
After staring at each other for a long time, the Arhat snorted and looked away.
He lifted his chin, indicating that his lackeys could start trading.
Seeing that the drug dealers were about to start trading, Han Ning was waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The transaction went on as usual, but the Arhat suddenly raised his hand to stop it.
He stared intently at Han Ning. His behavior made Luo Han feel very strange. The Arhat didn’t look like he wanted to do business with them at all.
With that thought in mind, the Arhat quickly took out his gun and fired an empty shot in Han Ning’s direction without another word.
Han Ning’s expression changed slightly. He turned around and questioned the Arhat who was standing at the front.
“What is this? You don’t want to do business anymore?” Han Ning glared at him and questioned him.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“Doesn’t anyone think the port is too quiet tonight?” The Arhat replied slowly.
Han Ning’s scalp tightened. He knew that the situation wasn’t good. This fellow was too vigilant!
Naturally, he reached out and tapped three times on the hidden earpiece rhythmically, indicating for Wang Jing to take action immediately.
“Hmph, I think you’re just bullying me because I’m a new face. You’re deliberately finding fault with me!” Han Ning deliberately delayed.
“Of course, we still have to do business. However, we have to differentiate whether the target is a human or a spy,” The Arhat said.
Han Ning was shocked. The burly man in front of her was not a simple brute.
Even though he was born on the streets, he was a ruthless and meticulous person. It was no wonder that Bodhisattva took a fancy to him and took him away.
“So, can you tell?” Han Ning gritted his teeth and asked.
“Ha,” The Arhat scoffed.
“You don’t look like you’re here to do business. I think you’re here to stir up trouble!” The Arhat said angrily.
The moment he finished speaking, The Arhat raised his gun, aimed, and fired at Han Ning.
Han Ning reacted quickly. He had long heard the decisiveness in his words. He predicted the Arhat’s movements and dodged towards the nearest container.
The Arhat fired several times but missed.
The police ambush was finally in place. A group of fully armed police officers rushed into Port Nine.
The two sides instantly engaged in a gunfight.
The Arhat’s face was grim. He already knew something was wrong but he had expected the other party to be from an enemy gang.
In the end, he did not expect Liu Qiang to betray them and cooperate with the police.
“Retreat first!” The Arhat shouted at his six subordinates.
The entire Port Nine was filled with sirens after the gunshot.
Han Ning moved between the dense cargo boxes.
He was confident in his skills and made use of the cover of the terrain to chase after the Arhat.
The leaders were leading their trusted aides and resisting the police.
The leaders had many underlings who were fleeing in all directions. When they rushed out of the encirclement, they were all caught by the police officers lying in ambush.
The Arhat, who was standing at the port, took advantage of the chaos and retreated with his men, fleeing towards the cargo ship..
