Chapter 789 Today
Now, they have gathered a group of equally ruthless criminals, re-established roots in some remote areas of Handong, formed their own private army, and attempted to dominate again.
Hou Liangping's face became extremely solemn, and he immediately called Qi Tongwei. "Tongwei, it seems that our work is far from over. Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's gang have reappeared, and their power should not be underestimated." Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said firmly: "Liangping, no matter how difficult they are, we can't back down. This time we must completely eradicate them!"
The two quickly contacted the police and began to investigate the criminal evidence of Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi. However, the two were extremely cautious, and their private army made the investigation difficult. Every time the police took action, they would detect it in advance, resulting in the interruption of clues.
As the investigation deepened, Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei discovered that Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi not only opened underground casinos and controlled underground banks in remote areas, but also established connections with some criminal organizations abroad, trying to expand their power by smuggling drugs and arms.
"These bastards are simply lawless!" Qi Tongwei slammed the table angrily, "We must take action as soon as possible and not let their conspiracy succeed." Hou Liangping nodded, "But they have private military forces, we must act carefully and make a careful plan."
As they were preparing for the operation, Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi also sensed the approach of danger. They decided to strike first and set a trap to catch Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei in one fell swoop.
Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi learned that Qi Tongwei had temporarily hidden in Jingzhou to avoid their pursuit. So they set their sights on Hou Liangping. One day, when Hou Liangping was out investigating, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of armed men. These people were Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's men, and they forced Hou Liangping into an abandoned factory.
Hou Liangping thought to himself that it was not good, but he did not panic. While dealing with the enemy, he looked for an opportunity to inform Qi Tongwei. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy relaxed his vigilance, Hou Liangping secretly took out his mobile phone and sent a message for help to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei was extremely anxious after receiving the message. He knew that Hou Liangping was in danger at the moment, so he led his confidants without hesitation and rushed back to Handong from Jingzhou overnight. Along the way, he kept contacting the police and asking for support.
When Qi Tongwei arrived at the abandoned factory, he saw that the factory was surrounded by Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's private army. He observed the terrain and found that the enemy's defense was very tight and a frontal attack would only cause huge casualties.
While Qi Tongwei was thinking about countermeasures, the police support team also arrived. After some discussion, they decided to split into two groups. One group was the police to attract the enemy's attention from the front, and the other group was Qi Tongwei and his confidants to outflank from the side and look for an opportunity to rescue Hou Liangping.
The battle started, and the gunshots of the police instantly broke the silence around the factory. Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's men turned their attention to the front and started a fierce exchange of fire with the police. Qi Tongwei seized this opportunity and led his confidants to quickly sneak into the factory from the side.
Inside the factory, Hou Liangping was fighting a desperate battle with the enemy. Although he was agile, the enemy was outnumbered and he gradually became exhausted. Just when he was about to collapse, Qi Tongwei's voice came from a distance: "Liangping, we are here to save you!"
Hou Liangping was delighted and immediately filled with strength. He fought back and joined forces with Qi Tongwei and others to launch a fierce attack on the enemy. Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's private army was caught off guard and their formation was in chaos.
Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi saw that the situation was not good and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping would not let them go easily, so they chased them all the way and finally found the two culprits in the basement of the factory.
"Do you think you can still run away?" Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi looked pale, they knew they were completely finished this time.
However, just as Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping were about to bring them to justice, a group of people suddenly emerged from the corner of the basement, armed with heavy weapons, and surrounded Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping and others again. It turned out that this was Zhang Mazi and Li Mazi's last trump card, and they had set up a lot of ambushes here.
"Humph, do you think we are so easy to deal with? Today is the day you die!" Zhang Mazi said viciously. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping looked at each other without any fear in their eyes. They knew that there was no way out at this moment, and they had to fight to the death.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides launched a fierce gun battle. Bullets flew across the basement, and the smoke filled the air. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping led the crowd to fight the enemy to the death. They used the terrain of the basement to cleverly avoid the enemy's attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.
In the fierce battle, Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping gradually gained the upper hand. Their heroic performance inspired the people around them, and everyone's fighting spirit became higher.
However, Zhang Mazi was indeed a tough guy who had been fighting in the dark for many years. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he suddenly whistled sharply. In an instant, the enemy, who seemed to be at the end of their rope, launched several modified heavy guns from the hidden corner of the basement. The firepower instantly increased several times, and dense bullets swept over like raindrops. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping, who had just been in high spirits, were instantly suppressed and could not raise their heads.
"Damn it, this pockmarked guy has another trick up his sleeve!" Qi Tongwei cursed in a low voice, clinging to the wall as a bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody streak. Hou Liangping quickly observed the surroundings, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a countermeasure.
At this critical moment, Zhang Mazi suddenly burst into laughter: "Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, don't you claim to be righteous? Today I will let you know that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, fists are the hard truth! From ancient times to the present, in which fight is not the victory of the strong and the death of the weak? The moral Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? That's nothing but history written by the victors!" As Zhang Mazi spoke, he pulled the trigger frantically, and bullets whizzed towards Qi Tongwei and the others.
Qi Tongwei was furious when he heard this. He ignored the danger, leaned forward and fired several shots in the direction of Zhang Mazi, shouting at the same time: "Zhang Mazi, stop talking nonsense! During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the world was for the public and the virtuous and capable ruled it. It was for the benefit of the people. How can you, who do evil for your own selfish desires, compare with that!"
