<h4>Chapter 1138: Chapter 1145: Fishing Operation</h4>


    "Captain Xia, a directive just came down from above, instructing you to immediately transfer the prisoner captured today to the prison." A policeman walked into Xia Mutong’s office and handed her an order signed by the director.


    "Transfer?" Xia Mutong frowned and said, "We haven’t even interrogated him yet, why transfer him so quickly?"


    "The higher-ups said, given the prisoner’s special identity and extreme danger, our police force doesn’t have enough resources to protect him, so we need to transfer him immediately to a high-security prison."


    Xia Mutong looked at the document signed by the director and said helplessly, "Alright then, since it’s the director’s order, immediately notify everyone to prepare. We’ll leave from the parking lot in half an hour and directly transfer the prisoner to the prison."


    After the colleagues left the office, Xia Mutong immediately picked up the phone and called Ling Chen.


    "Hello! Looks like your guess was right, they have someone on the inside. The order has alreadye down, and in half an hour we’ll be transferring the prisoner. I think they’ll definitely try to intercept along the way... alright, get here as soon as you can. I’ll wait for you in the parking lot."


    After hanging up the phone, Xia Mutong put on her police uniform,pleted her gun and bulletproof vest, and quickly walked out of the office.


    Half an hour passed quickly, and in the parking lot on the basement level of the police station, Zhu Hong wearing a prison uniform with chains on his hands and feet, was escorted by several police officers into a prisoner transport vehicle.


    Xia Mutong nced at Zhu Hong sitting in the prisoner vehicle, turned to the police responsible for guarding Zhu Hong and instructed, "Keep a close watch on him. If he tries anything, shoot to kill immediately. That’s my order, understood?"


    "Captain Xia, you can rest assured, this guy won’t escape our grasp."


    "Hmph!" Zhu Hong, who had been silent all along, sneered disdainfully, "Just you few? Be careful or you won’t even know how you ended up dead."


    "Zhu Hong, stop being arrogant in front of me. Now that you’re in my hands, don’t think you’ll have a nice time again." After saying that, Xia Mutong mmed the car door shut, signaling the driver to start the car, and the convoy prepared to depart.


    Not long after, the convoy left the parking lot and drove onto the road. At the back of the convoy, an Audi followed, with Ling Chen in the driver’s seat.


    Upon receiving Xia Mutong’s notification, Ling Chen immediately drove over. As he expected, after Zhu Hong was caught, Ling Beichuan would surely take action. This was a perfect opportunity to lure the snake out and capture Ling Beichuan’s men in one fell swoop.


    The journey from the police station to the prison was about an hour, and because of the city’s traffic congestion, it took more time.


    On the way, the convoy moved intermittently, struggling to maintain a speed of sixty kilometers per hour. After twenty or so minutes, the convoy reached a junction at an intersection. Ling Chen stopped the car behind the convoy, and stuck his head out the window, looking at the traffic lights ahead. It’s been a minute already, but it’s still a red light, which was clearly unusual.


    While thinking, a garbage truck came from another road, and as it crossed the intersection, suddenly changednes and crashed directly into the lead police car of the convoy.


    Boom!


    Under the collision impact from the garbage truck, the police car was instantly wrecked, with its body even deformed. Meanwhile, Ling Chen saw through the rearview mirror, another garbage truck rapidly approaching from behind, seemingly aiming to seal off the convoy’s rear route. Without time to think, Ling Chen hurriedly pushed open the car door, leaped out of the vehicle.


    The next second, apanied by a loud crash, the front of the garbage truck hit the tail of the Audi viciously. Driven by the inertia impact, the Audi charged straight forward, crashing into the police car ahead.


    At that moment when the convoy was cornered, more than twenty people jumped out from the two garbage trucks respectively, swiftly heading towards the prisoner transport vehicle in the middle.


    These people all wore suits and masks to prevent identification. Before they could reach the prisoner vehicle, Ling Chen tapped lightly on his tiptoes, leaped into the air, and jumped onto the roof of a police car, striding rapidly forward. In an instant, Ling Chen overtook the group of robbers, blocking their path.


    A man in a suit at the forefront saw Ling Chen appear and, without a word, swung the electric baton in his hand, aiming directly at Ling Chen’s head.


    Seeing this, Ling Chen slightly shifted his footsteps, dodging the electric baton attack, and simultaneously, leaned his body slightly forward, executing a Mountain Copse technique, and mmed his shoulder hard. There was a scream of pain, and the body of the man in the suit was instantly knocked out.


    Hearing theirpanion’s scream, the group of suited men immediately focused their gaze on Ling Chen.


    "Go, stop him!"


    As the words fell, before Ling Chen could strike again, a man in a suit with a mask had already appeared in front of Ling Chen.


    Ling Chen surveyed the opponent, a hint of surprise shed across his Mo Che-like pupils. Although this person was wearing a suit, from his graying hair, it could be seen that the man was not young.


    Thoughts raced through his mind, a fierce gust of power suddenly approached, pushing rapidly towards Ling Chen’s front. As the gust came, Ling Chen only noticed a shadow sh in front of him, with the opponent’s punch forcefully aiming straight for his face.


    So fast!


    Ling Chen’s heart was startled, he managed his thoughts and swiftly shifted his footwork. As the Nine Yang Qiankun Step was deployed, Ling Chen’s body seemed like a gust of wind, dodging the opponent’s attack in time.


    A master... who knew that Ling Beichuan valued Zhu Hong so highly, sending a master here for the rescue.


    At this moment, smoke bombs were thrown from all directions, surrounding the prisoner vehicle in the middle. In an instant, thick smoke engulfed the scene, obscuring the entire prisoner vehicle, making it impossible to see anything.


    While Ling Chen was still entangled with the master, several suited men quickly reached the back of the prisoner vehicle, smashed open the window ss, and threw a shbang inside.


    Boom!


    The blinding sh exploded, and hearingmotion from inside the vehicle, several suited men said nothing, immediately opened the car door. At this moment, the police officers responsible for guarding Zhu Hong were lying on the ground, covering their eyes, intermittently moaning in pain.


    "Quickly take the person away!"


    "Mr. Zhu, let’s go."


    Under the crowd of suited men, Zhu Hong quickly fled from the prisoner vehicle. Just when everyone was ready to leave, a cold shout suddenly came: "Stop!"


    Looking intently, they saw Xia Mutong holding a gun, coldly watching Zhu Hong and hispanions. On her forehead, there was a wound several centimeters long, with blood gushing out, trickling slowly down her cheek. She was sitting in the first police car earlier, which happened to be smashed by the garbage truck. Luckily, her physical strength was extraordinary, among her colleagues in the vehicle who were knocked out, she was the only one unscathed.


    All eyes stopped, Zhu Hong and his men instantly halted, coldly ring at Xia Mutong.


    "Put your hands up!" Xia Mutongmanded softly.
