“Get your asses here!” Sister Zhang screeched.
An Xiaoning pointed a gun to Sister Zhang’s temple and bellowed menacingly, “If you dare take another step forward, I’ll kill her immediately!”
Panting heavily, Sister Zhang yelled at her subordinates, “Stay back!”
Soon, the sound of the police sirens could be heard. The gangsters immediately tried to take flight and sprint toward their cars, leaving their boss behind. However, it was too late.
A fleet of police cars was driving into the estate.
No one could escape.
“Team Leader Zhang, bring her men back with you. I’ll send her over to the police station myself later. Will that do?” said An Xiaoning.
Team Leader Zhang answered unhurriedly, “Of course, Ms. An. I summoned my team immediately upon receiving Chief’s orders. Alright, I’ll bring them back with me first.”
“Alright.”
After dragging Sister Zhang to the backyard, An Xiaoning instructed her subordinates to tie the latter’s limbs up.
They then brought her to the guardroom, which An Xiaoning had constructed the day before.
The room became rather cramped after the ten-odd people entered.
Staring at the aged woman who was forced to kneel onto the ground, An Xiaoning squinted and stomped her foot on Sister Zhang’s wrinkly face. “Have you stopped wailing? I thought you were a capable and invincible gang leader who had the guts to show up at my house with your men. Not only did you insult me and my subordinates, but you also even insulted Gu Beicheng and Jin Qingyan. Yet, you’re still thinking of stirring trouble in my territory. How bold of you!”
“Ms. An, I was wrong, please let me off this once, I wouldn’t dare to do this anymore…” Sister Zhang pleaded, a stark contrast with the haughty and obnoxious gang leader she was moments ago.
“You wouldn’t dare anymore? You’re Sister Zhang, is there anything you wouldn’t dare to do? Weren’t you very confident and smug earlier?”
“I really didn’t know that you were still alive. I had no choice but to ask for your subordinate forcefully. Ms. An, please be magnanimous and let me off.”
“Let you off? Don’t think I have no idea what you’re thinking. If I really spare you and let you go, you’ll rack your brains and come up with a way to exact revenge on me, won’t you?” She then said to No. 8 and the rest, “I’ll give you guys a chance to vent your anger and frustration now. Go ahead.”
They immediately walked toward Sister Zhang and began throwing punches and kicks at her. Soon, she began gasping for breath and wincing in excruciating pain.
“Enough. Move her into the car. I’m making a trip to the police station.”
After beating Sister Zhang into a pulp, they dragged her out and shoved her into the car, after which No. 5 and No. 8 followed An Xiaoning to the police station.
“Team Leader An, have a seat, quick,” Team Leader Zhang greeted enthusiastically.
“Team Leader Zhang, are you on shift duty even on New Year’s Eve?”
“Of course, policemen like us don’t work conventional jobs. It’s our duty to serve the citizens. Ms. An, how did you have a feud with those people?” Team Leader Zhang asked, handing An Xiaoning a cup of hot tea.
“That’s not the point. The point is, will they be given a sentence for stirring trouble?”
“That’ll depend on the severity of the offense they had committed. But… I know I can’t hide anything from you so I shall just be frank. Just as we brought them back, we received a call from the higher-ups. Apparently, this gang is led by a more powerful triad known as the ‘Flying Tigers.’ I’m sure you’ve heard about them, right, Team Leader An?”
“Yes.”
“They’d like to strike a deal with you.”
“That gang has got such a great significance.”
Ring-ring… Team Leader Zhang immediately answered the call.
He handed the phone to An Xiaoning, who had already guessed who the caller was. “Hello,” she answered.
“Ms. An, we are indeed to blame for this incident. I promise you, we won’t be bringing you trouble again. On top of that, we’re willing to compensate you with 10 million dollars as a token of apology and to express our sincerity,” the man said over the phone.
“What if it happens again?”
“You may then handle them as you please. We will not interfere.”
An Xiaoning smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll hold you to your word, then.”
She ended the call immediately.
“That’s right, Team Leader An, don’t make those people your enemy. The ‘Flying Tigers’ do have a broad network of connections at present.”
Staring at him calmly, An Xiaoning answered, “Team Leader Zhang… It has nothing to do with me whether or not he has a broad network of connections. Fortunately, there are no casualties or losses on my side tonight. I’m willing to make a truce with them, not because I’m afraid of their power, but because I don’t wish to cause so much trouble on New Year’s Eve. I’ll just drop the matter now.”
She turned around to leave immediately, not giving Team Leader Zhang a chance to speak at all.
On the way back, An Xiaoning received a text message on her mobile phone, which was a notification from the bank to inform her that she had just received a payment of 10 million dollars.
They’re really so nonchalant. They transferred the money to me without even asking for my bank account number. Aren’t they afraid of sending the money to the wrong account at all?
She then decided to call the police station to inquire about the matter, only to discover that the police were the ones who gave them the bank account number that An Xiaoning had provided when she worked for the police previously.
She drove back to Sanqiao Estate.
Just as she was about to reach the entrance, she caught sight of two figures.
“Mommy!” Jin Yiheng scurried toward her gleefully and threw his arms around her. “Where did you go?”
“I went to settle some things. Why did you come here with Daddy at such a late hour?” An Xiaoning asked while holding his hand.
“Daddy said that it’s New Year’s Eve today and we must spend it with you.”
She handed her car keys to No. 8 and instructed, “Drive the car inside.”
“Yes.” No. 8 took the keys and drove the car into the yard of her mansion.
They had already hung red lanterns and couplets by the entrance, along with some cackling firecrackers, all of which added to the festive mood of the season.
Jin Yiheng stood in between his parents and held their hands. “Mommy, Daddy said that you’re living here. Did you buy this mansion?”
“Yes.”
“Can I stay with you here from now on?”
“Of course you may.”
“Let’s go in,” said Jin Yiheng, skipping merrily alongside his parents.
Jin Qingyan was dressed in a white shirt with a knitted sweater and a black, woolen coat. He appeared dashing as usual.
It was An Xiaoning’s subordinates’ first time meeting Jin Qingyan.
Jin Qingyan was much more suave in person and had an authoritative aura, as compared with the photos of him online.
With one hand in his pocket, he scanned his surroundings and said, “This mansion looks great.”
“Daddy, what do you mean ‘great’? It’s splendid!”
