Code 521

  The two uniformed police officers arrived on this highway at 5 o'clock in the morning to carry out their inspection tasks. For them, it was an easy shift because this highway is not the main road in and out of Sanlina City, but rather a remote one, with few vehicles passing through during this time period. Now, although they were standing by the car, they looked completely idle. They appeared to be young, of medium height, and slender build, likely having just become police officers not long ago.

  Two police officers saw a Range Rover slowly approaching them, so they prepared to check the vehicle. However, the Range Rover stopped at the side of the road not far from them. A kind of professional sensitivity and caution made them feel that there was something wrong with this Range Rover. The two police officers walked towards the Range Rover with light steps, smiling, but their right hands had already touched the gun holsters hanging on their waists.

  Suddenly, two police officers were startled and immediately raised their guns in a shooting stance, shouting: "Put down the gun! Throw the gun to the ground!" The two police officers slowly separated and walked towards the driver's side in an arc shape. Because they saw that from the windows of the driver's seat and passenger seat, each stretched out a handgun, but these two handguns were held by hands with the muzzle facing downwards and shaking slightly.

  Upon hearing the police warning, Zuo Dong and Fu Anbang simultaneously let go of their hands, and the two pistols fell heavily to the ground.

  A reconnaissance satellite hovering above Sanlirina City accurately captured the Range Rover driven by Zuo Dong. The high-definition camera of the spy satellite clearly overlooked the Range Rover, projecting the image onto a large screen inside a container. Here, Fu Anbang watched the Range Rover on the big screen as if he were standing on the second floor looking down at it, crystal clear. He thought that Zuo Dong and Jian Gang were about to be captured, so he hastily contacted them: "Zuo Dong, what are you doing? If not, withdraw!"

  Zuo Dong listened to Fu Anbang's piercing voice, but didn't respond, a confident expression appearing on his face.

  "Open the car door slowly and put your hands up over your head, lie on the hood of the car!" The two police officers had already aimed their guns at Liao Dong and Jian Gang.

  Zuo Dong and Jian Gang opened the car door from the outside, used their feet to push it open, then raised their hands above their heads and got out of the car, with their backs to the police, slowly bending down to lie on the hood.

  Fu Anbang in the container saw all this and was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted, "What the hell are you doing!"

  Zuo Dong and Jian Gang could both hear Fu Anbang's shouting from their earpieces, but they remained unmoved.

  "Hands behind your back!" The two policemen once again pulled out the shiny handcuffs from their waist and approached Zuo Dong and Jian Gang. Zuo Dong and Jian Gang were very obedient, putting their hands behind their backs without a word.

  Two police officers, standing on opposite sides of the road, exchanged a glance, unable to conceal their excitement. Without much effort, they apprehended two suspects carrying guns. Even if they didn't know what they were up to, it was clear that they weren't good people.

  The two men, who were neatly dressed and appeared to be bodyguards or something similar, seemed obedient and honest. The two police officers relaxed their vigilance while secretly rejoicing, putting away their guns and grasping handcuffs in both hands, ready to cuff Zuo Dong and the other man.

  At this moment, Zuo Dong and Jian Gang exchanged a quick and sharp glance at each other, then turned around. A policeman saw Zuo Dong turn around and immediately threw away his handcuffs to draw his gun, but Zuo Dong was faster, taking a step forward with a swift kick, striking the policeman's abdomen with his knee. The policeman's expression contorted in pain as he knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach. Seizing the opportunity, Zuo Dong delivered a palm strike to the back of the policeman's neck, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse to the ground. Meanwhile, Jian Gang was even more efficient, stretching out both arms like embracing a large watermelon, holding the other policeman's head in place. With a swift motion, Jian Gang jerked his elbows back, tilting his body forward, and crashed his forehead into the policeman's skull with a dull thud. The policeman flew backward two to three meters before stumbling left and right, finally collapsing straight onto the ground, also losing consciousness.

  Zuo Dong and Jian Gang completed this series of actions in less than ten seconds. Fu Anbang stared at the screen, his face **with anger**. Zuo Dong and Jian Gang looked around to make sure no one was watching, picked up the guns that had been thrown on the ground, each carrying a policeman, and walked towards the woods. A moment later, Zuo Dong ran back to the police car, pulled down several strips of cloth from the back seat, and re-entered the woods. Before long, Zuo Dong and Jian Gang emerged from the woods wearing police uniforms, holding the clothes they had been wearing earlier in their hands.

  Now the two policemen have been stripped down to their underwear, with their limbs tied up, eyes blindfolded, mouths gagged, and bodies buried under thick leaves. If you don't search carefully, it's really not certain that they can be found.

  Zuo Dong drove the police car away, and Fu Anbang walked towards the Land Rover. Zuo Dong pulled over to the side of the road, and Jian Gang parked the Land Rover next to the police car. The two men moved all the weapons from the Land Rover into the back seat of the police car, and put the clothes they weren't wearing into the Land Rover. Then Jian Gang drove the Land Rover into the woods, covering it up to make sure it wouldn't be found.

  Zuo Dong and Jian Gang sat in the police car, looking at each other without saying a word. At this time, Fu Anbang's shouting voice came from the earpiece again, he was very angry now, his voice was loud enough to burst Zuo Dong and Jian Gang's eardrums.

  "How could you kill two policemen? You're in big trouble now!"

  Zuo Dong said: "Boss, don't worry, they just made us dizzy for a while and we won't wake up soon. I guarantee that before they wake up, we will return this car and clothes completely."

  Fu Anbang was relieved when he heard they hadn't killed anyone, and his anger dissipated by half, but the hijacking of the police car still made him very angry.

  "You two should be low-key, don't show off, understand?"

  "Alright, don't worry boss. I know what I'm doing!" Zuo Dong said with a smile, his face showing no concern.

  Fu Anbang said in a low voice, "The ghost believes you have a sense of proportion when doing things."

  Driving east on the left, he contacted Amanda: "Amanda, we're close to downtown now, can you give us directions?"

  "A faintly tired voice came from the earpiece, Amanda said: "This notary office is located at 1256 Lika Street, Sanlina City, which is not in the bustling downtown area. There is a two-way four-lane road outside the door, and there are not many vehicles passing by normally. I think you should have an electronic map on your police car." Amanda said no more."

  "Alright, alright, I'll find my brother myself then!" Zuo Dong glanced at the car's display screen, brought up the electronic map, found the location of the evidence room, and walked in the direction indicated by the map.

  On the way into the city, Zuo Dong and Jian Gang passed through no less than three checkpoints. Although they were wearing police uniforms and driving a police car, every time they went through one, they were extremely cautious. Fortunately, the police at the three checkpoints and the ones they replaced were not from the same precinct and did not know each other, so they were able to get through without much effort.

  "In the city's streets, Lao Dong said in a bad mood: 'Jian Gang, you know I didn't want to come and get that unknown broken B thing suitcase. Now that we're here, don't let your broken suitcase confuse your head. If your brain gets kicked by a donkey, I won't take care of it! Everything should be done within our capabilities. If we can retrieve it, try our best to do so. If not, then let's hurry and leave. You also saw that we've already passed four checkpoints. It was easy to get in, but if we're exposed, getting out won't be so easy.'"

  Jian Gang didn't say anything, and now they have both cooperation and disputes between them.

  "MD, you don't know? You don't know that your arbitrary actions might put all of us in danger. I'm telling you this: if you act impulsively or get caught, I'll have no choice but to take you down. I won't let you, a 'piece of rat shit', ruin everything for all of us."

  Jian stood still, listening to Zuo Dong's words that were both threatening and insulting, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

  Fu Anbang sat in the container, staring at the screen and listening to Zuo Dong's words. He believed that if Jian Gang really did something detrimental to the team's interests, Zuo Dong would definitely shoot him in the head without hesitation. He couldn't help but contact Zuo Dong: "Zuo Dong, don't do anything rash." Zuo Dong didn't give Fu Anbang any feedback.

  Zuo Dong slammed on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road. He removed the car key and got out, walking along the nearly deserted sidewalk. Jian Gang yelled after him, "Where are you going?"

  Zuo Dong made a face that was like a smile but not quite, and said: "Haven't you seen the hot dog stand over there? I'm starving, I want to eat hot dogs!"

  Jian Gang looked at Zuo Dong, thinking to himself, what kind of person is this Zuo Dong? You say he cares, but it seems like he doesn't care about anything. He doesn't care about anything, yet he's always thinking ahead.

  Zuo Dong walked up to the hot dog stand and ordered two hot dogs and two cups of coffee.

  It was just past six thirty, and many office workers in the city had only just woken up. The roads were quiet without the hustle and bustle of crowds. Dong looked at the street vendor skillfully making hot dogs, smelling the savory aroma, and swallowed hard.

  The street vendor placed the hot dog and coffee in front of Zuo Dong, telling him the price. This made Zuo Dong a bit flustered as he realized all his money was in his original clothes, and he didn't know if there was a wallet in the police uniform he was currently wearing. Zuo Dong searched up and down, feeling for a wallet in his jacket pocket, and took out some change to give to the vendor. As he walked away with the hot dog and coffee, he thought to himself, "Good, good, I didn't lose face."

  Zuo Dong walked up to the police car and handed Jian Gang a hot dog and coffee. Jian Gang took the food from Zuo Dong, looking at him in confusion. Zuo Dong put the coffee on the roof of the car, propped himself against it with one hand, and fed himself the hot dog with the other, saying: "Man is iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat once, you'll be starving! You'd better hurry up and eat too, hopefully this isn't your last breakfast."
