Still Not Giving Up
Mr. Jin was still thinking about how to make a clean getaway, leave this place, and return safely.
But after tracking him for so long, how could Lin Nannan and the others let him go? Especially since he had quietly slipped into the country from abroad and even reached the capital—without help, it would have been impossible. So, if they didn’t capture him, how could they nab the people behind him?
They didn’t give him much time to dwell on it. As Lin Kangnian and Zhang Shengguo showed up one after another, Mr. Jin’s people figured out they were surrounded.
They didn’t even know when it had happened.
“How… how is this possible?” Mr. Jin, upon discovering they were surrounded, was in complete disbelief. Then, as if remembering something, he wheeled on Jiang Xiaopeng and accused, “Did you betray me?”
Jiang Xiaopeng shook his head. “It wasn’t me. I’d never sell you out. I want to leave this place more than anyone!”
To be honest, he was in the dark too, completely unaware of how they had found this place or managed to box them in completely.
Seeing their panic and disbelief, Lin Nannan cut in to explain, to keep them from turning on each other.
“It really wasn’t him. We just followed him here, bided our time, quietly set up the trap, and now we’re catching you all in a trap!” She explained it clearly, but it only infuriated those who were surrounded.
They had been negotiating with her in good faith, yet she had double-crossed them and surrounded them all.
At this thought, Mr. Jin could no longer contain his anger. Gnashing his teeth, he said, “Since I won’t survive anyway, I’ll drag you all down with me today!”
Lin Nannan let out a dry laugh and was promptly whisked away by her team.
Best to leave professional matters to the professionals. If she got involved, everyone would just be distracted.
After she retreated, a burst of gunfire erupted. She was kept in a safe location, waiting for it all to play out.
Bullets don’t have eyes, and she worried about Lu Hang and the others getting injured, but this was their mission.
Yes, after learning that there were still fugitives among those who had kidnapped Lin Shuang, the task fell to Lu Hang. He worked with Zhang Shengguo and others to fully dismantle these forces hidden in the capital.
As for Mr. Jin, he was an unexpected catch!
Once they captured him, there might be even more surprises—like who had helped Mr. Jin come to the capital undetected despite so many people being involved.
The situation ended quickly; after all, no one wanted to die.
Well, except for Mr. Jin, who was fighting like a cornered animal. He wanted to struggle, but no one was willing to risk their lives for him, especially when surrounded. So, after the offer of “lay down your weapons and you won’t be killed,” they only resisted for a short while. After some casualties, it was over.
There was no other way—they didn’t want to surrender, but not only were they outnumbered, they were also outgunned.
They thought their weapons were the best, but the other side’s were even better. What could they do? They had to surrender—after all, no one wanted to die.
In the end, Mr. Jin and Jiang Xiaopeng were seriously injured, Jiang Xiaomeng sustained minor injuries, and everything was settled.
As she was being arrested, Jiang Xiaomeng still refused to accept defeat. She stared at Lin Nannan and asked, “The Lin family was so worried about you, yet you used them. So your coldness wasn’t just directed at me, right?”
This was an attempt to sow discord, especially since Lin Kangnian, a member of the Lin family, was still present.
Lin Nannan looked at her coldly. Just as Jiang Xiaomeng thought she wouldn’t respond, she slowly said, “Even now, you still refuse to give up. I told you it was a trap we dug for you—why did you believe it?”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Xiaomeng couldn’t understand.
