Chapter 67

“This court is adjourned until tomorrow.” Judge Yong announced after their plan went downhill. It didn’t make sense and the decision seemed nonsensical to adjourn the court but from the looks of it, they had no other choice but to do this because they were unaware of what other evidence Wei Jun might have.

Wei Jun smiled even more broadly and stood up. A police officer escorted him out of the court under the care of Xiang Fan. Wei Jun simply let them and when they arrived at the van, Xiang Fan was asked to ride in a different car. No other reason was given but Wei Jun was perfectly aware of their reason so he did nothing about it and said to Xiang Fan, “Do it.”

Xiang Fan nodded and left in his own car to somewhere else along with Lao Chen. Wei Jun noticed the drivers in the car and pointed at them which Lao Chen noticed before they both drove away. Wei Jun also boarded the police transfer van along with three more policemen. An officer was also present making the back of the van quite crowded. Then there were two patrol jeeps, one at the front and one at the back.

All the reporters were stopped at the back so although many questions were raised regarding today’s events, there was nothing they could do but just raise them because no one was willing to answer. Chief Tao had left without a word to the media.

The van left under the escort of two more cars and as they left, Yao Tian, who was also at the court said on the phone, “Make sure there is no mistake.”

“How is it?” Wei Jun spoke as the van was slowly going to its destination.

“What?” The officer rudely spoke.

“I asked how is it? The plan, I mean. You know you might also die, right?” Wei Jun once again asked which made the officer realize something.

“You’re not as stupid as I thought.” The officer remarked.

“You will all die too. Or at least you won’t get out of this scot-free. Are you sure you want to do this?” Wei Jun asked again. “I’m sure.” The officer replied to which Wei Jun nodded and said, “Of course, you are sure. Now that I know you are willing to pay the price, killing you would be very easy.”

“What?” The officer asked confused before his gaze went to Wei Jun’s hands. He saw gloves on his hand that he hadn’t seen before. Soon, something else began to appear in his hand, and by the time he noticed it and pulled out his gun, he had already been shot three times and died on the spot. The other policemen also became aware of the situation but Wei Jun killed them hurriedly as well.

Since the SMG was silenced, the driver section wasn’t aware of this. Wei put strength into his hands and pushed them apart to snap the cuffs. He stood up, placed his hands on the door of the van, and pushed with all his might. The door budged but it didn’t open. He tried again but it didn’t work. He couldn’t risk shooting at the locks to alert the car behind him and because the keys were with the driver, there was no other way out.

Seeing no other choice, he remembered something. The venom with which he had tortured the biker who had attacked Quan Li and Zhan Yi. Smiling, he opened the shop to buy it. since he had untraceable money from the Tian family reserves, he had a lot of money to exchange in his inventory.

[Hydra’s saliva (diluted)

Tier: E

Description: The diluted saliva of the mythical seven-headed creature, the hydra, which can melt through stones and metals of unparalleled hardness.

Additional information: It does not have any poisonous effects.]

[Cost: 1000 coins]

Wei Jun pulled it out of the inventory and slowly dipped a drop of it into the lock. It melted but not that much but that was enough. He dropped two more drops and the venom seeped in quite a bit. The smell of melted and rusted metal spread in the van but Wei Jun kept going until after using half of the vial, the lock was thoroughly melted.

Wei Jun stepped back and pulled out a rifle from his inventory. He prepared himself and once he was ready, he kicked the door that swung open and Wei Jun saw the car behind the van. The policemen in the car noticed him too but before they could do anything, Wei Jun opened fire on them and riddled them with bullets using half of the magazine in the rifle.

The policemen in the front of the van suddenly panicked when they heard the gunshot and turned to look at Wei Jun jumping from the moving van. They pushed the brakes and the van began to slow down at a fast pace. The officers in the front also noticed that turned the car around only to look at a guy with a rifle pointed at them. Wei Jun opened fire at the fuel tank of the jeep in front and it exploded. The last of the two came out with shotguns in their hands but Wei Jun shot one in the leg and stopped the last one with the gun before he could even aim at Wei Jun.

“Now, I don’t need to tell you what you need to do, right?” Wei Jun said nonchalantly to which both of the policemen dropped their weapons.

“Now, I need to kill you since you are shot and will only be a liability.” Wei Jun pointed at the wounded policeman and shot him a couple of times, only not in the head.

“Please! Please don’t kill me!” The other one begged for his life on his knees to which Wei Jun smiled and said, “Get up. I got something for you.” He then pulled out the phone from the policeman’s pocket and dialed his wife. He gave the phone to the man and said, “Talk to your wife.”

The man did as he was told and after a brief exchange, he said with tears in his eyes, “I will do whatever you say.”

“Good because if you want your family to live, you will do exactly so.” Wei Jun said before he pushed him to the front and said, “Go and get the phone of the detective. Don’t forget to unlock using his fingers.”

The policeman nodded and went into the van to do just that. Wei Jun waited for him and once he was out, he said, “I know you know the person waiting for us up ahead. Call him and give me the phone.”

The policeman quietly did as he was told, dialed a number, and gave it to Wei Jun. Wei Jun took the phone and pointed the gun at the man with the other hand.

“What? Why are you not here yet?” The voice on the other end asked.

“There was a complication from the Ruan family.” Wei Jun replied only his voice wasn’t his own his voice had changed to the voice of the earlier officer whom he had killed the first.

“So?” The man on the other end asked.

“We have stopped a little behind under the pretense of engine failure. Come from the other side but be careful not to hit any of my men.” Wei Jun instructed.

“Are you sure? I wasn’t informed of this.” The man on the other side hesitated because such a big change in plan wasn’t for no reason.

“Look, I don’t know what you do. If you want to confirm then confirm but we will be leaving here in three minutes and then everything would go to waste. We won’t be able to execute him at the planned place because the Ruan family is aware of it now.” Wei Jun chose a passive-aggressive approach and planted the idea inside the man’s head as if the choice was up to him. Only that it wasn’t.

“Very well. We will be there in two minutes. Try to stall if it takes longer but we will be there soon.” The man from the other side said and hung up the phone. Wei Jun threw the phone on the ground and turned to the astonished policeman.

“What? How do you think I obtained the testimony of your boss’s boss?” Wei Jun said before he added, “Take a few of the guns and sprinkle these on the hands of everyone. Hurry!”

The policeman carried the orders at the gunpoint and in just a minute, the task was done. Wei Jun stored his gun back in and took one of the rifles of the police. If he wanted this to look like an ambush, he needed to plant this much at least. As for the untraceable bullets with which he had shot all the people, they wouldn’t be found anyway if the bodies were exploded to smithereens.

“Come on, into the woods.” Wei Jun pointed at the woods on the side of the road because he could see a caravan of three jeeps heading in their direction.
