City of Vice (Chapter 9: Foiling a Narcotics Deal)

  The parking lot of the membership-based golf club was filled with all sorts of luxury cars, including high-end SUVs and stretched-out high-end sedans. Even the bodyguards brought by these people were sitting in pretty good cars. Wu Junwen and Yu Fei got out of the car and walked in without being stopped. Wu Junwen had already made a reservation over the phone, so they picked up their membership cards as soon as they entered. The two of them drove a golf cart onto the spacious lawn.

  Yu Fei saw the SSangYong C8 sports car in the parking lot before he came in. He still had an impression of this car, after all, there were only a few cars of this model locally, and it wouldn't be that judge again, she wouldn't come to play ball here on workdays either. With doubts, Yu Fei arrived at the court, where there were not many people playing, most of them sat down chatting in some place, don't know what they were talking about.

  At this time, Yu Fei's mobile phone rang. He looked at the number and saw that it was the one he had called in the morning, so he picked it up. "Hello, have you arrived?" He made a long story short, Xu Huaiqing said: "I'm already in Lion City, I rented a plane and am circling over the city, where are you?"

  "I am on the largest golf course."

  "Doesn't it affect your tennis?"

  "I'm not quite familiar with this thing, can you come over as soon as possible?" Yu Fei said, looking up at the sky, and indeed there was a Cessna light aircraft in the distance. Xu Huaiqing said: "I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and let the pilot fly the plane to hover above the golf course, where Xu Huaiqing, dressed in paragliding gear, jumped out of the plane with ease.

  Yu Fei watched as people parachuted down from the plane and thought to himself, "How did these people all come down from the sky? Do they really like playing it cool?" Xu Huaiqing manipulated the parachute and landed, he put away the parachute and saw his buddy Wu Junwen, who was still wearing a helmet and goggles and hadn't taken them off. He walked over and greeted him, "I'm here."

  Wu Junwen said: "In the future, if you want to solve trouble, just find him."

  Xu Huaqing knew that the business was introduced by a good friend, because this brother didn't do anything illegal, so it must be that this person wanted to do business with him. Xu Huaqing took a look at Yu Fei, "You're Yu Fei, right? We used to work in the same company, just never had the chance to cooperate."

  "You still recognize me, that saves a lot of trouble. The important things can be discussed later. You're living locally now, right? I'll keep giving you business." Yu Fei didn't plan to discuss those shady matters in public. Xu Huaiqing nodded, "Where should we go to talk? I'm not here to play around, I need to find something to do."

  "Let's talk somewhere where there's no one around." Yu Fei sat in the golf cart and Xu Huaiqing also got on, the cart headed towards a secluded area. After leaving the people around them at a certain distance, Yu Fei said: "I hope the local crime rate drops as soon as possible, do you have any good methods? I don't want to go through any judicial procedures, this will torture me to death."

  "This is easy, just take care of the people with guns and there won't be any big cases. For example, those casinos are dens of iniquity, I'll just wipe them out and that's it." Xu Huaqing thought everything was very simple, he believed he was invincible. Yu Fei said: "Some things need to be noted, don't let others know who you are, don't let others know we're cooperating, the money will be transferred to you through a reliable person."

  "You want to govern this place well, what's the purpose, I'm afraid it's not just to be a good garrison officer. People with ideals must have ambitions. You tell me the truth." Xu Huaqing knew that except for a few police officers, no one caught thieves just for the sake of catching thieves. Yu Fei said: "You're indeed not an ordinary person, so I won't hide it from you. I want to get promoted by reducing the local crime rate, and then become a general as soon as possible, and see if I can become the Minister of National Defense."

  "Your ambition is not small, but eliminating bandits requires many things, such as weapons and ammunition. You should at least give me the initial capital first. Of course, I'm not dealing with bandits for your money. Even if you didn't find me, wouldn't I still open fire on bank robbers?" Xu Huaqing took off his wind goggles and looked at Yu Fei, who was a sensible person. "I will let you know my sincerity. Give me an address, and I'll send the money for purchasing weapons to you first."

  "No problem." Xuhuaiqing took out a notebook and wrote an address, stuffing it into his pocket. Before Yufei could take it out to look, Xuhuaiqing had already jumped off the car. "I'll go take care of my business, you guys go play golf, so as not to arouse suspicion." Yufei thought to himself that this guy was good at hiding things, and drove the golf cart back to the playing area.

  Wu Junwen was chatting with the person next to him while playing ball, Yu Fei recognized the female judge without getting off the car, and met her again here, it's better not to greet each other, private contact is not a good thing either, in case other law enforcement units find out, there might be trouble. Wu Junwen said: "Come over, I'll introduce you to some new friends."

  Yu Fei was about to make a call when the phone rang, and he answered without checking the number. The sound of police sirens came from the other end, and before he could ask any questions, the person on the other end spoke up, "I'm Wen Qian, I just got a tip that two groups of people are going to make a drug deal in the casino, disguised as gamblers. They chose this place because it's not easy for us to investigate. There are surveillance cameras at the entrance of the casino, and by the time we get inside, the people involved will have scattered. I want you to assist me."

  "I'll take someone over right away." Yu Fei immediately contacted Wu Junwen as soon as he heard there was a big case, "I'm really sorry, I received an assisting task, I need to go catch some people and bring them back. When I have time, can I get to know your friend? Can I borrow your car for now?"

  Wu Junwen felt a bit disappointed when he heard that, it's easy for him to have time to run to the club of rich people to pretend to be a big shot. He still had things to attend to, "The car is rented, you must not use my car to chase or engage in a shootout, if you damage the car, my reputation will be gone." He said and threw the car keys to Yu Fei.

  Yu Fei didn't dare to delay, driving the golf cart quickly to the entrance of the club. He ran out and got into his Land Rover D12 off-road vehicle. As soon as he started the car, he made a phone call to ask Wen Qian for the address of the casino. His handheld computer still had the addresses of local famous casinos stored in it. Wen Qian was afraid someone might be eavesdropping, so she sent the address via text message. Yu Fei saw the address and called to notify Wen Yong. Wen Yong had no choice but to stop resting and lead his troops to provide support.

  Police cars and military vehicles quickly gathered under the hotel building, Wen Qian saw Yu Fei and told him directly, "Your people are outside the front and back doors. If someone runs out, catch them. I'll go in to catch the drug dealers. Everyone who comes out must be caught, everything will be confiscated, and we can't let drugs and drug money flow out. Any questions?"

  "No problem, I'll go in with you, they're outside." Yu Fei was still wearing casual clothes, he took down a bulletproof vest from the command car of the military police squad and put it on, carrying two pistols on his body, then picked up an M249 machine gun and prepared to enter the hotel. Wen Yong opened the military computer, which stored the drawings of all buildings in the city. The drawing of this hotel in front of him was shown to the two squad leaders, "Take a look at the drawing, then lead people to launch a simultaneous attack on the front and back doors, don't let anyone from the casino come out, you also stay away from the door."

  Military vehicles and police cars entered the hotel's underground parking lot, and the hotel security did not dare to stop them. The recent inspections had already become a habit for them, and it was not a new thing for large casinos to be sealed off. The hotel security also knew that many floors in the building were rented out, with some opening companies and others doing other businesses, including a very large casino. A platoon of gendarmes divided into two groups simultaneously entered the hotel, Yu Fei and Wen Qian held guns and took the elevator to enter the building, running to the entrance of the casino, where the cameras inside had already discovered them.

  "The monitor has found us, let's rush in." Wen Qian, holding an M16 rifle, was the first to run in. She had the police's most powerful gun. Yu Fei thought she was showing off, having her own way of handling things locally, why did she have to be so reckless in solving the case? Wen Qian ran over and kicked open the door with a flying kick, then shouted: "I'm a policeman, no one is allowed to move."

  The thugs at the casino entrance had already received a secret report, and as soon as the back door opened, the casino manager hadn't decided whether to evacuate or not. They thought they had given money to the police and shouldn't have any problems. The informants outside only saw the police and constables arrive but didn't know they were going to search the place. Wen Qian kicked open the door, and the thugs also picked up their guns and took aim at him. Yu Fei saw that the other side had weapons, so there was no need for a warning. He held his machine gun and opened fire as a warning. However, the thugs were uncultured and didn't understand the law. Even when law enforcement personnel use guns, they must fire a warning shot first. They didn't know this, so they immediately opened fire and shot at Yu Fei. This time, Yu Fei seized the opportunity, pulled the trigger, and swept his gun across the thugs in front of him. Wen Qian used her rifle to knock down the person in front of her and quickly rushed inside. They weren't there to catch gamblers; inside was enough evidence to sentence the suspects to death for drug trafficking.

  Wen Qian rushed into the casino and shouted loudly: "Everyone get down, no one is allowed to move."

  The unarmed gamblers and casino staff were naturally afraid of the black hole-like gun muzzles. The thugs in the casino weren't good guys, they took out their guns to resist when they saw the police rush in. The two suspects who had just finished their transaction came out of the restroom with suitcases, but the two boxes contained evidence against them. They put down the boxes and lay on the ground pretending to be honest people, first watching the casino thugs exchange gunfire with the police.

  Yu Fei took one look at the many people who drew out their weapons and fired back without hesitation. The M249 machine gun burst forth with a shocking gunshot, and the thugs holding guns were hit by bullets one after another. They weren't wearing bulletproof vests; they thought no one would dare to cause them trouble, so why wear those uncomfortable things? The machine gun's rate of fire could reach over 700 rounds per minute, and several thugs who didn't know life from death were shot into a beehive-like state, with blood splashing everywhere. Many gamblers carrying illegal weapons saw the crazily firing machine gun and were frightened, not daring to take out their own small handguns.

  After killing off the resisting thugs, Yu Fei held his gun at a group of gamblers crouching on the ground, while Wen Qian held her rifle in search of evidence she wanted in the casino. Two boxes under the gambling table caught her attention: "Whose boxes are these? Take them out and open them."
