Seeing Xiao Liu slowly disappear down the street, I suddenly felt a surge of anger and immediately texted Zhang Hua'nan: "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don't contact me."
To my surprise, there was no movement from Zhang Hua'nan after receiving the message.
I could only take out the hidden cigarette from my pocket and light another one.
Time ticked by second by second, and my mood gradually became anxious. Just as I was about to finish smoking, I suddenly heard the car door move. I thought it was Xiao Liu coming back, but the person got in the back seat directly.
"Officer Li, long time no see."
A voice I hadn't heard for a long time sounded behind me, making me shudder all over.
Zhang Hua'nan.
"Are you crazy? Do you know whose car this is?"
Zhang Hua'nan took the cigarette butt from my hand and took a fierce drag.
"What kind of car? Anyway, it's not painted like a police car."
I saw his careless expression from the rearview mirror and felt more and more angry:
"Aren't you afraid that I will drive you to the police station right now?
"Hey? Old Li, we are on the same string." Zhang Hua'nan sneered at me, "The time you arrested me seven years ago, I gave you 100,000 yuan to treat Xuanxuan's illness. You should be grateful."
"My gratitude to you was repaid a long time ago." I gritted my teeth, feeling extremely entangled. I should have never gotten involved with this scum, "I told you to be quiet, but you keep getting into trouble... I should have sent you to the police station myself."
"Is this how you talk to the savior of Xuanxuan?" Zhang Hua'nan threw the finished cigarette butt out of the window, "Xuanxuan is in elementary school now, right? I remember it's... fourth grade, class six?"
"You..." Hearing Xuanxuan's name coming from this scum's mouth, I was furious in an instant, "If you dare to touch Xuanxuan, I will definitely tear you into pieces."
"We are interdependent." Zhang Hua'nan smiled, "If you help me escape the pursuit, I will not touch her."
I vaguely knew in my heart that as long as I got on this pirate ship, I would never be able to get off in my lifetime.
Seven years ago, when I personally arrested Zhang Hua'nan, he suddenly wanted to give me 100,000 yuan to buy his own life.
Although I have always hated evil like an enemy, my daughter Xuanxuan suffered from a very rare disease. The doctor said it was called Crigler-Najjar syndrome. He told me how rare this disease was and said a lot about how to deal with this disease, but I didn't understand a word.
I only knew that Xuanxuan needed a liver transplant, and I needed money.
Zhang Hua'nan's 100,000 yuan did save Xuanxuan's life.
But from that day on, I have been involved with this scum.
If I don't help him escape the police's pursuit time and again, he will threaten me to reveal the incident.
Where did Zhang Hua'nan have a "strong counter-surveillance consciousness"? He just had my help.
I can't let Xuanxuan have an accident. She is the child of my deceased comrade-in-arms and has called me dad for ten years, and she is naturally my daughter.
"Zhang Hua'nan, I have a bottom line." I looked at the scum in the rearview mirror and said, "If you don't want to be caught, you should be honest in these years. Otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it."
"Damn it..." Zhang Hua'nan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he cursed viciously, "Li Shangwu, you are still talking to me about conditions? If I am caught, you will be implicated too."
After hearing this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is that you should be a good dog for me and don't have any bad thoughts." Zhang Hua'nan kicked the front seat with his foot, "Otherwise, I will not only let you be disgraced but also destroy your family."
I glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and an idea flashed in my heart.
If Zhang Hua'nan is caught, things will become very troublesome. It doesn't matter if I am disgraced, after all, the mistake was made by myself and should bear the consequences.
But what about Xuanxuan?
So Zhang Hua'nan can't be caught.
He has to die.
I'm fed up with helping a fraudster every day and living in fear with a guilty conscience.
Now that Xuanxuan's illness has been cured, it's time for me to repay my debt.
Leaving Zhang Hua'nan's life will only lead to more people being persecuted by him in this world.
If I could do it all over again, I would choose to send him to jail that year instead of carrying the burden of guilt for so many years.
But I don't know if I did that, would Xuanxuan forgive me?
"Zhang Hua'nan, have you eaten?" I asked lightly.
"Eat?" He was slightly stunned, seemingly not understanding my meaning.
"After being on guard for so many days, I'll take you to have a good meal. Just take what I just said as too much talk, don't take it to heart."
"This is a human thing to say." Zhang Hua'nan leaned back in the back seat and slowly stretched, "You've been on guard for three days, and I've been eating instant noodles every day."
I nodded, started the car, and shifted gears to start.
Now I need to find a secluded place to make Zhang Hua'nan's body found as late as possible. Although I will definitely be caught, I also need to settle Xuanxuan before that.
While driving slowly, I opened the safety of the pistol from my waist.
Zhang Hua'nan has been looking at the back seat and is now resting.
Seeing this scene, I slowly drove the car to a nearby alley.
But before the car stopped, Zhang Hua'nan suddenly made a move behind me. He stretched over a hard wire and instantly looped it around my neck.
I immediately felt bad, and this kid also wanted to kill me.
"Zhang Hua'nan... Are you looking for death..." I gritted my teeth and kept pulling the wire on my neck, trying to turn around, but my legs were always stuck by the steering wheel.
"You are really a good plan, Officer Li..." Zhang Hua'nan said while exerting force, "There should be two of you on guard, right? But you drove me out to have a meal... Isn't that too strange? The other person finds that you are gone, won't they contact the team?"
In just ten seconds, I felt that my eyes were getting dark severely.
Zhang Hua'nan was really ready to kill, and I knew that once I died, Xuanxuan's situation would be very dangerous.
Thinking of this, I immediately took out the pistol from my waist and fired three shots backward, and I didn't even know if I hit it.
In the closed car, the huge sound of the pistol made my ears ring for a while.
"I've been giving you money to spend... and you actually want to kill me?!" Zhang Hua'nan shouted angrily and increased his strength.
This strangling was too severe, and I felt that my blood vessels were about to explode.
At the critical moment, I immediately pressed the button on the seat, and if I could recline the seat at this time, there might be a glimmer of hope for escape.
But I forgot.
This high-end car will slowly recline the seat at the most comfortable and slowest pace.
It might be to protect people's waists, or it might be to let people sleep well when they are tired.
At this slow pace, my eyes were all dark.
You get what you pay for, and there is a reason for high-end products.
The waist really doesn't hurt.
