Jindi Garden District in Ping County.
In the living room of Room 502, Building 13, a red dot flickered.
In the darkness, Zhang San sat on the sofa, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
A year ago today, he ca to Ping County from Lai County and has stayed here for an entire year.
Now, he’s preparing to head south again and live in another city.
After years on the run, he has gathered quite a bit of experience: never stay too long in one place.
Changing places once a year is relatively safe.
This ti, he decided to work and live in a county at the southernmost part of Ji Province, bordering Yu Province.
He bought a train ticket for 1:30 a.m., so there was no rush to leave.
It only takes about an hour by taxi to get from Ping County to the train station.
After finishing a cigarette, Zhang San took a betel nut from a bag and began chewing.
As he chewed, his cheeks bulged and contracted, looking sowhat comical.
But if soone saw the fierce expression on his face that exuded power without anger, they’d surely not dare to laugh at him openly.
Ten years ago, Zhang San owned a restaurant in a county in the Northeast, and conflicts arose due to malicious competition from a rival.
In a fit of rage, Zhang San killed a family of four and then began his life on the run, fleeing across the country.
Due to long-term chewing of betel nuts, combined with intentional weight gain.
Now, Zhang San is a completely different person from who he was ten years ago.
This has helped him stay hidden, making it more difficult for the police to capture him.
Over the years, the bounty on Zhang San’s head increased from 100,000 yuan ten years ago to 500,000 yuan today!
"It’s about ti, I should be going."
At 12:21 a.m., Zhang San picked up a parcel from the sofa, left the dark room, and took the elevator down.
As he stepped out of the building, Zhang San saw a young man walking straight toward him from afar.
Despite his heavy wariness, Zhang San managed to maintain a calm expression.
Perhaps it was just an overworked employee returning late from the office.
Facing Zhang San.
Jiang Tao saw the faint golden glow emanating from Zhang San, like a light bulb in the darkness, and almost burst into laughter.
"Stay calm, don’t laugh; this guy is a 1.5 million yuan bounty!"
Although Jiang Tao felt confident in capturing Zhang San.
To avoid any complications, he approached the mission seriously and cautiously.
Even a lion gives its all when hunting a rabbit.
Many seemingly certain things fail due to carelessness.
Tap, tap, tap—
In the darkness, as they passed each other, their minds on different tracks, Jiang Tao made his move!
At the mont they brushed past each other, Jiang Tao swiftly turned and locked his elbow around Zhang San’s neck!
Amid Zhang San’s curses, the two instantly grappled.
Of course, facing Jiang Tao, with a constitution of 126 points and System Level Free Fighting Skill, Zhang San could only take a beating.
The confrontation was as swift as its resolution; within a minute, Jiang Tao had bound Zhang San securely to the ground.
"Who the hell are you? Let go, or I’ll X you up!"
"Let go, damn it!"
"Bastard!"
Bound and lying flat on the ground, Zhang San could only curse and yell.
Less than ten ters from the fight between Jiang Tao and Zhang San, inside a black Maybach.
Ji Wei stared open-mouthed at the unfolding events outside.
The ga character on his phone had died, but he hadn’t noticed.
Especially when he recognized the two battling outside.
A stirring tide surged in Ji Wei’s heart.
At this late hour, what sort of drama was unfolding?
Why was Jiang Tao fighting his neighbor?
Moreover, during the fight, Ji Wei had the equivalent of VIP seats in close proximity to the action.
Jiang Tao’s crisp and agile movents resembled those of experienced detectives in cri films.
Ordinary people can’t pull off those moves.
At this mont, Ji Wei felt like he’d uncovered another of his old classmate’s secrets.
Should he stay in the car as a spectator, or go down and see what’s going on?
Hesitating for about a minute or two, Ji Wei finally decided to get out and see what was happening.
Maybe he could even lend a hand if needed.
"Hello, is this Ping County Public Security Bureau? I’ve caught a wanted criminal, please send soone over."
"Yes, he’s on the wanted list; his na is Zhang San."
"I’m at Jindi Garden District, by Building 13."
"I’ve secured him, there’s no danger."
"Okay, I’ll be here waiting, I’ll ensure my own safety till you arrive."
As Jiang Tao hung up the phone, he heard the sound of a car door behind him.
Turning abruptly, he saw a familiar figure stepping out of the car.
"Ji Wei? How co you haven’t gone ho yet? Were you in the car the whole ti? Saw everything?"
Seeing Ji Wei suddenly appear, Jiang Tao was a bit at a loss.
This guy had left West City Mansion District at just after 10 p.m.
And it’s already past 12:30 a.m., and he still hasn’t gone ho.
"Bastard, let go! Or when I get out, I won’t spare you; I’ll X your whole family!"
Lying on the ground, hearing Jiang Tao calling the police, Zhang San was even more panicked.
He struggled as he threatened Jiang Tao, hoping to shake his resolve.
