Armed SWAT

In the area of ​​downtown Los Angeles near the harbor, there are many large and small factories.

The sky gradually darkened, and the street lights came on one after another, and then the street lights near a steel factory suddenly went dark.

It was pitch black, the white moonlight shone on the back door of the factory, and the truck cast a long shadow.

Deng Kaiwen wrapped his black windbreaker tightly. Under the shadow of the street lamp, his side face was as hard as a sculpture of ice and snow, and his eyes shone coldly in the dark.

"You're here, my dear—" A greasy voice sounded from the back door of the factory: "—Brother."

Deng Kaiwen turned his head, and saw a slightly stooped and thin figure leaning against the huge trash can.

It's Stanley.

He looked a lot more decadent, and most of the arrogance and arrogance he had before had been reduced by half, only a little bit of embarrassment mixed with cruelty could be seen from the corners of his brows and eyes.

"I knew you'd come, you've always been like that...you've always been. My dear brother, how's your year been?"

Deng Kaiwen glanced at him and asked calmly, "Is what you said in the letter true?"

A week ago, the second day Deng Kaiwen returned to Los Angeles, he found a letter still stained with dew at the garden gate.

The signature of the letter is Stanley, and Deng Kaiwen is familiar with his distinctive cursive signature.The handwriting on the letter was very messy, as if it had been written in a hurry.The content is also vague, only mentioning that Epro wanted to kill him, and he escaped from GA in a panic.He also said that he knew Deng Kaiwen returned to Los Angeles, and he felt that this brother should be able to save his life, so he asked Deng Kaiwen to meet at a certain time and a certain place.

Deng Kaiwen took it for fingerprint identification and confirmed that the letter was written by Stanley.

"Why did Epro not want to kill you until now? It's been a year since you bribed Spike to assassinate him."

Stanley snapped: "He's always wanted to! He's been whitewashing GA lately, investing heavily in hospitals and education, and he wants a GA with a clean record... He thinks I'm too close to the Hebrew family .”

Stanley has always wanted to sell drugs through GA.When he first came to Los Angeles two years ago, he hooked up with the Hebrew family.It's a pity that before the drug business got bigger, he was caught by Deng Kaiwen and sent to prison for food.

"Are you still messing with the Hebrew family?"

Stanley was silent for a while, and said, "The Hebrew family can't protect me, they can't fight Epro."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"...You can take me into jail." Stanley gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you many things in the Tao, and I can be a tainted witness! The condition is that you must save my life! If you are here, Epro There is no way to buy people to assassinate me in prison, I know!"

Deng Kaiwen suddenly felt a slight disgust: "He is your father, Stanley. As long as you don't get in his way, he won't go to the prison to kill you."

Stanley sneered: "You really think so? It seems that Nathaniel Epro really has a very good image in your heart!"

The conversation was deadlocked, the night wind blew through the bushes, and the branches and leaves made a slight rustling sound.

The sound is more obvious in the silent night, when the tide rises and recedes.

"...Why should I trust you?" Deng Kaiwen finally asked after a while.

Stanley seemed to have been waiting for this sentence, and he immediately pointed back to the dark factory not far away.

"This is an underground factory of the Hebrew family. It ostensibly produces steel, but actually sells drugs through shipping containers. They seal heroin in hollow tubes of scrap and ship it out on a fixed date every month..."

Deng Kaiwen interrupted him: "I am no longer a policeman."

Stanley was taken aback.

"The LAPD already considers me dead in the line of duty."

There was silence around, and it took a long time for Stanley to understand what he meant, and immediately shouted: "No! I know more than that! Do you know Adams? Hebrew? You know that he will appear on the drug delivery ship every month ?"

Deng Kaiwen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You don't care about the drug delivery of the Hebrew family, but you don't care about Adams? Hebrew? Come on, I know what you are concerned about, and only I can trade with you!"

Deng Kaiwen thought for a long time before saying concisely: "You wait."

He walked to the dark corner, took out his mobile phone and dialed Mitchell's number.

He is no longer a special police officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, and restoring his identity requires lengthy and complicated procedures.Right now he needs a police officer who can legally arrest people to install Stanley--a person who has almost no other choice except Mitchell Landers.

However, the mobile phone has been busy, and Mitchell's phone has not been connected.

Deng Kaiwen cut off the call irritably, and dialed again, but still no one answered.

This is actually very abnormal. As a SWAT team leader, it is a necessary professional quality to turn on the working mobile phone 24 hours a day.

Suddenly the light at the back door of the factory was turned on, and the bright lights illuminated the surrounding open space brightly.Stanley hurried across the bushes, pressed Deng Kaiwen down, and whispered: "Come out!"

"Who's out?"

"Drug truck!"

Deng Kaiwen cut off the call and leaned over in the darkness where the corner lights couldn't reach.

A crane transported a large amount of scrap steel out of the back door of the factory, and several workers ran out to meet them, all wearing dark blue overalls without any identifiable LOGO on the clothes.After the steel was loaded onto the vehicle, a man who seemed to be the leader came over with a gun and checked the surroundings.

"They're going to the docks, they're taking this cargo up the northern Gulf of California, and then it's going to Mexico," Stanley said.

Deng Kaiwen asked in a low voice, "How do you know?"

"I've worked with them for so long! I also know that Adams Hebrew was in Los Angeles recently, and he'd—"

Before the words were finished, Deng Kaiwen stretched out his hand and squeezed Stanley's chin tightly.

The severe pain forced him to shut up for a moment, and then he saw a black Mercedes-Benz car coming from a distance, and stopped at the back door of the factory without a sound.

Adams? Hebrew opened the car door, and the workers around saluted him one after another.

Another gray-haired old man followed, his expression arrogant and cold.Deng Kaiwen recognized that the old man went to the GA mansion in New York with Adams to meet Epro, and they had a face-to-face confrontation - that man was named Brown Hebrew, a family director, and Adams' status was similar.

It seemed that Stanley was telling at least half the truth this time.

"Go directly to the harbor," Adams ordered the foreman, "the freighter with ship number CA8778 has been ordered, and will leave for the Gulf of California tonight."

The workers climbed onto the truck one after another. Deng Kaiwen pulled Stanley up and said in a low voice, "I'll follow them. Shut up and keep quiet."

Stanley withdrew abruptly and said in a panic, "I'm not going!"

"You must go."

"No! I, I stay here, I can find a place by myself..."

During the moment they were arguing, the black Mercedes-Benz had already followed the delivery truck out of the back gate of the factory, and the highway leading to the harbor was ahead.

Deng Kaiwen pulled Stanley out of the dark corner and pulled him hard into his bulletproof Jaguar.Just in case, he prepared a fake license plate before coming, and even prepared M1911, dagger, and handcuffs in the car.

In terms of skill, if Stanley practiced for another 20 years, he would not be able to do three tricks under Deng Kaiwen's hands. He was pushed to the back seat of the car with almost no resistance, and there was a click in an instant, his wrists were cold, and he was handcuffed .

"Walk one step at a time and talk about it at the pier." Deng Kaiwen said coldly without looking back while driving: "I won't let you die in the hands of Epro."

In the absence of a positioning device, it was almost impossible to keep up with the truck.Fortunately, Kevin Deng knew their destination. He took a shortcut from the toll road and arrived at the Los Angeles harbor before midnight.

Under the desolate moonlight, no one can be seen in the huge harbor, and the sound of the waves seems to come from far away, with the whimper of the wind, salty and unclear.

Deng Kaiwen dragged Stanley through the huge shadow gap between the container and the ship, whether he was tripped by various waste materials and large piles of garbage.

Stanley was extremely afraid of being discovered, and kept lowering his voice and yelling all the way: "I want to go back! I won't go on the boat with you! Epro knew he would kill me, he would kill me! He would kill me!  … "

Deng Kaiwen couldn't bear it anymore and said: "He won't!"

"He will, he will, he will..."

"To shut up!"

After a while, Stanley's voice sounded again, with an unmistakable viciousness in his tone: "Do you think the Epro you know is the real Epro?"

Deng Kaiwen ignored him, holding a flashlight in his mouth, and focused on identifying the logos on each freighter.

"I hate you guys, many years ago when you were in GA, before the Neptune...I hated you, you and Epro!"

The phrase "Before the Neptune" came out of Stanley's mouth, and only he and Kevin Deng knew the real meaning.

On the Neptune that year, the GA Board of Directors arranged for two heirs to conduct a three-day battle royale.This cruel game can only end when one side kills the other.

Back then, Deng Kaiwen was already a well-known underworld young master, while Stanley was not even an adult.When they faced each other's guns alone, it was Deng Kaiwen who gave up the fight first.

He had sought armed support from the Cherch family through Regulus Cherch in advance.On the Neptune, he knocked Stanley unconscious and hid in the secret room, then ran to the deck to issue a signal, intending to take this opportunity to leave GA.

But this plan failed, and the armed helicopter of the Cherki family failed to reach the Neptune, whose signal was blocked, on time.This fatal mistake led to the tragic situation of Deng Kaiwen's life in the next few years.

Because Deng Kaiwen didn't wait for the helicopter to pick him up, the GA board of directors discovered the unconscious Stanley first.

Undoubtedly, Stanley accused Deng Kaiwen of defecting and fleeing after he was sober, and the board of directors immediately began to search for Deng Kaiwen on the entire cruise ship.

The battle royale lasted for two days, and Deng Kaiwen was caught by Epro on the deck after the heavy rain.After the Neptune incident, Stanley became the new heir recognized by the board of directors, while Deng Kaiwen began the most desperate and gloomy time in his life.

Deng Kaiwen was silent for a while, then said lightly: "If I hadn't been soft then, you would have died."

"Why do you?! I am the son of Epro, why do you stand there and compete with me for that position?! You have no qualifications at all! Why do I have to rely on your soft hands to survive, why!"

"..."

"Cassandra wanted to kill me back then, and Epro did the same later." Stanley said maliciously, "But in the end, the child Cassandra took away was you, and Epro chose you as the heir."

It was clearly such a jealous and vicious voice, but there was a slight tremor in the tone.

"I don't understand why, you are such a soft-hearted, soft-hearted, woman-like guy, useless, useless, indecisive, just take it seriously if a woman coaxes you, Epro has worked hard for so many years and failed to train you ...Why?! Why is it that you are the one chosen in the end!"

Stanley stopped abruptly, and at that moment his voice became sharp and even had a hollow echo.

"You fail no matter what you do, you fail in the underworld, and it's not easy to be a policeman. Epro can only clean up GA to accommodate you, but as a policeman, you are not as good as a killer like Spike..."

"When Cassandra wanted to kill you, she was already mentally out of order." Deng Kaiwen interrupted Stanley, his expression was dim in the shadows.

"..."

"She brought me to Los Angeles so that I could atone with her. And you are innocent, and she left you with Epro because she didn't want you to suffer with her. When I was in middle school in Los Angeles . . . you can't take it."

"Epro used to love you very much, pure father's love for children." Deng Kaiwen didn't have any expression on his face, and continued on his own: "You did those things later, he was just disappointed in you and put you under house arrest. He won't let you be in power, but he didn't treat you badly, nor did he think of using those heinous methods to transform you into another person. He never let you shed blood and tears to transform you into what he wanted. "

"..." Stanley wanted to say something, but his voice stuck in his throat, and his chest heaved and fell, as if he was panting violently.

"I'll put you in jail, but Epro won't kill you even if you run outside. Maybe you think the Epro I know isn't the real him, but... Anyway, I've seen him the most The cruelest side."

The tide rushed up the rocky beach far away, and the ships of the Hebrew family in the distance lit up their searchlights, illuminating the harbor brightly.

Deng Kaiwen suddenly said coldly: "Follow me."

He dragged Stanley to the warehouse with strides, and after a while, he went around to the back door of a dilapidated warehouse, broke the glass window and climbed in.

Stanley had no choice but to stumble and follow.

There are no lights in the warehouse, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers.The high glass windows vaguely reflected the light of the searchlights on the freighter, and vague shadows swayed on the wall.

Deng Kaiwen handcuffed Stanley to the foot of the machine tool and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Stanley asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Deng Kaiwen did not answer immediately.He stood up, and the moonlight passed through the broken glass window, casting a deep shadow on his side face: "I'm going to kill Adams."

Stanley's cheeks trembled, and he saw Deng Kaiwen stepping over the heavy debris on the ground and strode out of the dark warehouse.

"...It's not certain who killed who..." Behind him, Stanley raised his head and grinned silently and tremblingly.
