After Xu Guoren left, Lin Ruohan retracted her reluctant gaze and smiled at Chu Qianwen.""Qianwen, why? Aren't you going to invite me to your house? This wasn't how old classmates treated their guests.”
Chu Qianwen had seen her actions just now, and for some reason, she felt a trace of displeasure in her heart. However, she could not say anything because she was an old classmate, so she could only smile and say,""Let's go, Gensheng can send us back.”
When Xu Guoren rushed to the police station, he found that Wang Hai had gathered most of the police officers in the police station. They were all armed and waiting in the courtyard.
His father, Xu Tianyang, and a fat guy in a police uniform stood side by side on the stone platform outside the police station hall. Xu Guoren recognized the man as the current police chief and a good friend of his cheap father in Jiang City.
Xu Guoren quickly stepped forward and saluted." Chief, I heard that my goods were stolen. I'm here to return to the team. Please approve, Chief!"”
"Brother Tianyang, what do you think?" the bureau chief asked Xu Tianyang.”
Xu Guoren was afraid that his father would disagree, so he quickly said to him,"Dad, I'm a police officer. It's my duty to participate in the bandit suppression operation. Besides, our goods were robbed this time, so I have no reason to stand idly by.”
" Yes, Guoren makes sense." Xu Tianyang nodded at Xu Guoren with appreciation.
"Alright then, Nephew Guoren, you may return to the team."”
"Yes, sir!" Xu Guoren was overjoyed and quickly saluted.
Wang Hai had already asked someone to bring a rifle and dozens of bullets to Xu Guoren. He handed it to Xu Guoren personally and said,"Good job."
Xu Guoren took the gun and ammunition. A sense of familiarity that he had not felt for a long time spread throughout his body. In his previous life, as an all-rounded God of War, his duty was to fight. Therefore, he had an unprecedented love for weapons.
Xu Guoren had studied this type of manual bolt rifle in his previous life. In fact, at his level, there was no weapon that he did not know how to use.
After entering the line, Xu Guoren quickly loaded the gun. This was a Hanyang rifle produced by the Hanyang Munitions Factory. It had a capacity of five rounds.
Soon, Xu Guoren finished loading the gun. He pulled the bolt and loaded the gun. The rifle was ready to fire. His entire movement was smooth and practiced. Captain Wang Hai and the other policemen were surprised.
"Guoren, I couldn't tell that you had some skills. When did you secretly practice it? Wang Hai asked with a smile.
Xu Guoren only smiled slightly and did not say anything.
" Brothers," the director said," after investigation, the pirate who robbed and killed people this time is Zhang Guansan, a bandit who has been roaming Lake Tai for many years. This person often blocks the road to rob and kill passing merchants. He has committed many crimes.
This time, I have already asked the chief to send a security team to cooperate with us in exterminating the bandits. I hope that everyone can do their best and fight bravely. If we can retrieve Boss Xu's stolen goods, we will reward you with 3,000 yuan!”
Wang Hai immediately took the lead and said,"Don't worry, Chief and Uncle Xu. We will do our best to eliminate Zhang Guan and the other bandits, take back the stolen goods, and eliminate the evil for the people!”
"Let's go!" The director waved his hand.
Wang Hai immediately led nearly 200 policemen out of the police station.
There was a river not far from Jiang City that led directly to Taihu Lake. The Jiang City government had already prepared boats for the police station and the security team. The police station would be the vanguard for this operation.
Therefore, Xu Guoren and the others arrived first. After boarding the ship, they sailed towards Taihu Lake under the guidance of their spies.
Taihu Lake was one of the five largest freshwater lakes, with a water area of more than 2,000 kilometers. There were dozens of tributaries of different sizes around it. Shijiu Lake, which was not far from Jiang City, was one of them. It also belonged to the Taihu Lake water system.
Zhang Guansan, who robbed the Xu family's caravan and killed the Xu family's transportation workers, was entrenched in this stone mortar lake that had a water area of more than 200 kilometers.
"This Zhang Guansan was said to have been a boatman in his early years. Later, because he lost his job and was in war, he became a bandit in this generation of Shijiu Lake. He relied on his familiarity with water and boats to tyrannize here for more than ten years.
Previously, the National Government had been busy with conquering the East and West and had no time to care about this place. The local security corps and other forces had also attacked several times, but they were all used by him to escape with his familiarity with the terrain and his skillful swimming skills. He had repeatedly revived.
Now, you actually have your attention on your Xu family's business. You're really audacious!”On a fishing boat, Wang Hai took the initiative to introduce the origins of these pirates to Xu Guoren.
"We must eliminate them completely this time to prevent future troubles and return peace to the area!" Xu Guoren nodded.”
"It won't be that easy," Wang Hai said."Not only is this guy cunning, but he's also very skilled." It's already good enough that we can get back the goods that were stolen from your family. Do you really think that it's as easy as the chief said?”
Xu Guoren did not argue. With his current combat strength, even if this body was far from reaching the level of his peak, it was not a problem to deal with a mere Water Bandits.
Moreover, they had a security regiment and more than 200 police officers to assist them. They had an absolute military advantage.
Xu Guoren looked back at the following ship and asked,"Why haven't we seen the security team?”
"Those guys only know how to eat, drink, and gamble. They don't even put in any effort to suppress the bandits.”Wang Hai snapped.
At this moment, a small boat quickly caught up with them. A policeman reported to Wang Haihui,""Captain, the security team sent a message saying that they are responsible for sealing off the outer perimeter of the stone mortar lake. The task of attacking will be handed over to our police force.”
Wang Hai was furious when he heard that." This bunch of bastards. They run faster than the other when they get their pay. They're more afraid of death when they fight!"”
Xu Guoren tried to persuade him," Brother Hai, don't be angry. With the people in our police force, it's more than enough to exterminate these water bandits. When we exterminate these bandits, I'll ask my father for more rewards for everyone!”
"It's rare for you to have such confidence, Brother Guo Ren. I, Wang Hai, will risk my life to accompany you. This time, I must make a name for myself and let the senior officials of the city government see who is the trash between us and the security team!”Wang Hai saw Xu Guoren's confident face and was immediately encouraged. The blood in his chest surged and he immediately expressed his stance.
Soon, the boat entered the stone mortar lake. Looking around, the entire lake was covered in mist and vast smoke waves, like a paradise.
Under the guidance of the spies, Xu Guoren's fleet successfully arrived at the only small island in the lake, near the central island.
At this time, it was winter and the weather was cold. There was a faint layer of ice on the lake. The sound of the ice breaking could be heard as the boat moved forward, constantly stimulating the nervous nerves of the police officers.
Xu Guoren saw Wang Hai carrying a pair of binoculars and asked him,""Brother Hai, can I use your binoculars?”
Wang Hai immediately handed the binoculars to him. Xu Guoren took it and raised it up to observe the situation on the island.
However, because of the mist, it was impossible to see clearly. Xu Guoren asked Wang Hai,"Brother Hai, are you familiar with the geographical environment and the deployment of the bandits on the central island?”
Wang Hai shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"The enemy's situation is unknown. If we attack rashly, we might encounter trouble or even fall into their ambush," said Xu Guoren.”
"Then what should we do?" Wang Hai asked.
Xu Guoren looked around and volunteered,"How about this? Give me a small boat. I'll go to the island to scout. You guys wait for my signal!”
"How can I do that? If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Uncle Xu?" Wang Hai was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Guoren to take the initiative to volunteer at this time and go deep into the bandits 'nest.
Xu Guoren gave him a reassuring smile and said,"Brother Hai, don't worry. Since I want to go, I'm confident. Besides, who doesn't have a life? Why can't I go when others go? That's it."
After saying that, Xu Guoren did not wait for Wang Hai to agree. He asked for a signal pistol and a few signal flares from the others, then carried a rifle and jumped onto a small sampan next to him.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wang Hai immediately felt awe and said to Xu Guoren in a deep voice,"Brother Guoren, if you can come back alive, I, Wang Hai, will definitely become your brother!”
"If I don't come back, take care of my father for me!”"Of course, I will come back alive!" Xu Guoren smiled.”
