Chapter 108: Conclusion
“What does this have to do with you wiping out five families in a row?”
Chang Ning asked. He had some guesses in his heart, but he still wanted to hear the person’s own thoughts and the full connection to the entire incident.
“!”
Twelve pairs of eyes all turned to Chang Ning. At a time like this, he still had the leisure to worry about the connections between events?
Hou Wenquan’s son had just died, he had no way to seek justice, it was so tragic, and Chang Ning was simply bringing up the wrong topic at the wrong time.
“Uh, I’m just curious.”
Chang Ning realized the timing of his question was wrong. The man was grieving right now; bringing this up was like rubbing salt in the wound.
If Gao Zhong Dui weren’t here, Hou Wenquan would probably send Chang Ning on his way.
It was better not to mention it, but as soon as it was brought up, Hou Wenquan became extremely agitated.
“Those five people were the parents of the ones who killed my son. They banded together to try to cover the matter up.
Do you know how they did it? They bribed the school’s security personnel to destroy the monitor, leaving the police without solid evidence.
The school’s leader didn’t want the matter to escalate and affect the school, so they secretly provided convenience to these killers. Could a single fourteen-year-old child have beaten my son like that just by himself?
The reason was too far-fetched, but the police had no solid evidence.
Since they started it, they can’t blame me for finishing it!
So I spent two or three days scouting the spots, then in the early morning climbed up to the building barehanded, pried open the window, went in, and neatly sent them on their way.
After that it was simple, just doing the same thing again, but unfortunately I was discovered at the end and didn’t have time to take out that school’s leader.”
Hou Wenquan was full of unwillingness. He still had an enemy alive, and this time he couldn’t personally send that leader on his way.
He had defended the country for over a decade. Since he couldn’t wait for justice, he had to take revenge in his own way.
“Gao Zhong Dui, you know it, my strength is decent in our squadron. Just give me time and I can get revenge.
These techniques were all taught in our squadron. I never thought there’d be a day I’d use them here.”
Hou Wenquan looked at Gao Zhong Dui with a bitter smile.
“You’re deliberately trying to piss me off, aren’t you!”
After hearing Hou Wenquan’s words, especially the last sentence, Gao Zhong Dui was both angry and heartbroken.
He couldn’t express any opinion. On one side was his aggrieved comrade, on the other was the law. Emotionally, he understood Hou Wenquan.
“Sigh~”
Feeling frustrated inside, Gao Zhong Dui patted Hou Wenquan’s shoulder. Don’t advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t want to and couldn’t make any statement about this.
After hearing Hou Wenquan’s account, Chang Ning felt complicated emotions.
Putting himself in the other’s shoes, if he experienced something like this, he might do even worse things than Hou Wenquan.
The ways of the world are unpredictable.
“Wild Wolf, since you’ve come, I won’t trouble you all anymore. Just please give me a gun. I don’t want to be taken back.”
Hou Wenquan now had a death wish. From the moment he was discovered, he knew there was no chance to take out the last one.
Although the special police in the mountain forest had been badly messed up by him now, he knew that once he entered the city, he had no confidence in escaping in front of the special police.
Specialization is key; special police handle urban counter-terrorism, and they’re the professionals in city combat.
Moreover, Hou Wenquan knew the rules of the special forces well. If the locals couldn’t take him down, they would definitely borrow troops to handle it.
So Hou Wenquan fleeing to the mountains next to Linghui County and setting up the landmine—everything was to get Gao Zhong Dui to come find him.
Then tell these things to Gao Zhong Dui for his help. He could die, but his grievance had to be made public.
Seeing Hou Wenquan wanting a weapon, this made Chang Ning and the others look worried.
They weren’t Gao Zhong Dui and didn’t know Hou Wenquan’s character. Even if they sympathized with his experience, in their eyes Hou Wenquan was still a violent criminal.
As long as it was a violent criminal, it had aggression, and moreover one who had received the harshest training and was proficient in killing.
If such a person had a gun in hand and suddenly decided to attack, the cost would be huge.
“Gao Zhong Dui!”
Chang Ning drew his 54 handgun from the holster on his thigh. At this distance, Chang Ning was 100% confident he could take Hou Wenquan down before he could harm anyone.
Seeing Chang Ning draw his gun, the B Group members also went on alert.
They didn’t know Hou Wenquan, so B Group was more willing to trust Chang Ning, with whom they had spent day and night.
Gao Zhong Dui ignored Chang Ning and the others. He stared into Hou Wenquan’s eyes for a moment and saw no sign of life in them.
‘He doesn’t want to live anymore.’
Gao Zhong Dui felt heavy-hearted. Right now here there were only Lone Wolf Commando Unit members, all comrades who had lived and died together; no one would betray him.
Moreover, when going up the mountain, the police hadn’t required them to capture Hou Wenquan alive, so theoretically handing him a gun to let him commit suicide was not wrong.
But procedurally it was definitely not allowed; criminals must be punished by the law.
The police hadn’t told Gao Zhong Dui and the others because they assumed Gao Zhong Dui knew the process.
And that was the case. If facing anyone else right now, Gao Zhong Dui would definitely try to capture them alive.
But now the suspect was Hou Wenquan, his former comrade, and based on his understanding of him, over 90% of what this man said was credible.
So Gao Zhong Dui could risk his military career to let Hou Wenquan commit suicide in front of him.
As said before, these were all his own people; no one would talk.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t reprimand Chang Ning for drawing his gun with the B Group crowd. He understood their current mood, so he didn’t tell Chang Ning and them to lower their guns either.
One must always be cautious; some things Gao Zhong Dui wasn’t suitable to do, but Chang Ning and them could.
“Here.”
He took the service pistol handed over by Hui Lang, chambered a bullet, then handed it to Hou Wenquan.
“Wild Wolf, are those the newcomers from this year behind you?”
Hou Wenquan said, holding the gun in hand.
“Yes, the ceremony was just held today, and then your incident happened, so I brought them over to see the world.”
Hou Wenquan and Gao Zhong Dui chatted casually as if nothing was wrong. If not for the location, you’d think they were at the Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment barracks right now.
“They look okay, but this sniper isn’t up to par, far worse than Assassin.
He didn’t even spot my camouflage just now.”
Hou Wenquan said with a look of disdain. He didn’t think much of Ostrich.
“Get lost! They’re newcomers. You can’t compare newcomers to Wolf Fang’s top sniper; is that even fair?”
Gao Zhong Dui said grumpily.
“It’s a bit regrettable. If not for this incident, I should have been able to be their instructor.”
Hou Wenquan’s tone was full of regret. Seeing good prospects but no chance to teach them—one of life’s great regrets!
“Wild Wolf, my matter is in your hands. Make sure the truth comes out!”
With that, Hou Wenquan didn’t give Gao Zhong Dui a chance to react. He raised the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.
