The police station has a total of five floors, and beneath it, there is a basent level used specifically as a temporary jail for detaining criminals. Aside from the reception hall on the ground floor, the upper four floors serve as the office spaces for the police.
With Xia Mutong leading the way, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun encountered no resistance and leisurely strolled through the police station.
Over ten minutes passed, and Ling Chen road from the first floor to the fifth without finding anything that piqued his interest.
"Officer Xia, I heard there’s also a basent level here. Aren’t you going to take to have a look?"
Frowning slightly, Xia Mutong said, "That’s the temporary jail for detaining criminals. Apart from the police, unauthorized individuals are not allowed inside." At this point, Xia Mutong gave Ling Chen a wary look and said in a stern voice, "I hope you’re not thinking of breaking soone out of jail? Ling Chen, if you have such thoughts, I advise you to dismiss them early. Otherwise, don’t bla for being unkind."
Ling Chen hastily waved his hands and said, "Officer Xia, I wouldn’t dare to do such illegal things. Rest assured, I’m not here to cause trouble. Besides, I don’t have friends detained here."
"That’s for the best. Alright, the tour ends here. Go about your business, and don’t bother if there’s nothing important."
Seeing Xia Mutong issue an eviction order, Ling Chen unwillingly asked, "Officer Xia, are you really not taking us to visit the basent level?"
"No." Xia Mutong refused directly, "Ling Chen, stop ssing with . Annoy , and I might just lock you up in the basent jail, satisfying your wish to visit."
"Well... let’s just forget it then." Ling Chen touched his nose and said with a smile, "Since Officer Xia has work to do, we won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll co back as guests when we have the ti." Saying this, Ling Chen gave Tang Guolun a look, and the two headed straight for the elevator.
Watching the elevator doors close, a hint of doubt appeared on Xia Mutong’s exquisite, pale face.
Having known Ling Chen for quite a while, she knew a bit about his personality. As far as she knew of him, Ling Chen never wasted energy or ti on fruitless matters. His unexpected visit to the police station today, repeatedly asking for a tour and particularly wanting to see the basent level, seed quite out of the ordinary.
Hmph! That guy must be up to sothing. Xia Mutong thought to herself.
As she pondered, Xia Mutong suddenly noticed the elevator display showing it went directly to the basent level without stopping on the first floor. Seeing this, Xia Mutong was taken aback.
Those two really had the audacity to sneak into the basent level; did they just ignore what I said?
Without wasting more ti, Xia Mutong quickly took the adjacent elevator to head to the basent level.
anwhile, at the basent level of the police station, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun erged from the elevator and proceeded straight down the corridor. As they walked, Tang Guolun asked, "What if we get discovered later?"
Ling Chen replied with a smile, "Boss Tang, don’t you think that’s a bit redundant? Even if we do get discovered, they should be asking you, not . Don’t forget, you’re the escape expert. Hey, are you losing confidence?"
"Not at all." As they spoke, they arrived at the checkpoint in the basent. To enter the jail, identification verification or a travel pass issued from above was required.
Looking at the heavy iron door ahead, Ling Chen took a card from his pocket and lightly swiped it on the scanner. With a ’beep’, the scanner’s light imdiately turned from red to green. As the door opened, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun swiftly walked inside.
At this mont, inside the adjacent guard room, the staff noticed on the computer that the identification card belonged to Xia Mutong, but it was two n who entered.
Seeing this, the staff imdiately shouted through the loudspeaker, "Stop right there!"
Beyond the first door was another, which required verification from the staff to proceed into the jail.
Watching the policen rush out of the guard room, Tang Guolun took out a button-like object and placed it on the electronic lock of the second door.
"Fatty, it’s ready. It’s up to you now."
"Received!" Shortly after, Hu Fei’s voice ca through their earpieces.
"You two, freeze, and put your hands up." Several policen stood on the other side of the door, yelling at Ling Chen and Tang Guolun, signaling them to raise their hands and face the wall.
Ling Chen and Tang Guolun exchanged glances, both smiling slightly, as they raised their arms high above their heads.
"Gentlen, we’re acting under Officer Xia’s orders. Please don’t misunderstand." Ling Chen stated.
Upon hearing this, one of the policen imdiately took out a walkie-talkie and said in a stern voice, "We’ll verify if it’s really Officer Xia’s order."
Before he finished speaking, with a light ’beep’, the securely locked door suddenly opened.
"I’ve hacked into their firewall, shut down all electronic monitors and alarms. You have ten minutes of unrestricted movent before they reboot the system."
"Understood." Ling Chen smiled, pleased that Hu Fei’s efficiency had not let him down.
Ten minutes wasn’t a long ti, but it would be enough.
At this mont, seeing the suddenly opened door, the policen were montarily stunned, quickly turning to the staff in the guard room, shouting, "Why is the door open?"
"I... I don’t know." The staff was equally baffled.
Without waiting for the police to react, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun had already rushed through the second door.
"Quick, stop them!"
A policeman shouted, quickly lunging toward Ling Chen and Tang Guolun.
Seeing them charge, Tang Guolun raised his fist, ready to punch the officer. However, before he could strike, Ling Chen intercepted him.
"What are you doing?"
"Don’t hurt them, they’re police." Ling Chen reminded.
Their objective for coming to the police station was simple: to find the God Organization’s temporary base in East Sea City. Based on the information they had, the base was located beneath the basent jail. That’s why Ling Chen and Tang Guolun dared to break in.
So, their real adversary was the God Organization, not the officers guarding the jail. To prevent unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, it was best to minimize confrontations and avoid being charged with assaulting an officer.
At once, following Ling Chen’s cue, Tang Guolun refrained from attacking and instead dodged the officer’s onslaught. With Ling Chen’s assistance, the two easily bypassed the pursuing officers and charged into the prison area.
Although ant for temporarily holding prisoners, the defense inside was extrely tight, with iron doors every twenty ters, to prevent prisoners from escaping.
