Chapter 167: Kind Smile, Wang Daolin

Hearing this, Bai Hongbo immediately replied: "We're not taking the same route as the Su family, we've already passed Sea Swallow Pit."

"Is anyone chasing you?" Wang Daolin asked.

"Not yet, but my friend at the port called to say Longkou District's people have come out chasing," Bai Hongbo replied.

Wang Daolin thought for a while before immediately replying: "Don't worry about anything, just keep going forward, I'll go to Sea Swallow Pit."

"Good, thank you, Uncle Wang!"

"Hehe, no problem."

After they ended their call, Wang Daolin smoked while telling the police officer driving: "Take a detour, wait on the road to Sea Swallow Pit."

"Understood," the officer nodded in reply.

......

About twenty-five minutes later, a police car stopped at the road entrance to the inevitable Sea Swallow Pit, with only four officers in the car.

Wang Daolin sat in the back playing with his phone, communicating with someone unknown.

Shortly after they arrived, over ten SUVs drove out from the city direction, all rushing from Tianhong Port.

"Boss, Longkou's people are here," the driver reminded.

Wang Daolin slowly looked up and replied with a yawn: "Let's go, get out."

At these words, all five people in the car got out, with two officers reaching for their service weapons.

The convoy came roaring up and had to stop seeing police officers blocking the road.

Wang Daolin stood in place with his hands behind his back, striding lazily.

One of Longkou District hall master Baocheng's top lieutenants got out of the car first. This man was also a notable figure in Longkou, named Lu Wei. He had previously been sentenced to six years for trafficking controlled goods and armed assault. Recently released from prison, he was Baocheng's confidant and a die-hard loyalist supporting Baocheng as gang leader.

Lu Wei was anxious inside, eager to catch the Bai family people, so after stepping forward he immediately asked: "What's wrong, officer?"

Wang Daolin looked at him with a smile: "How deep is the grudge? They're already fleeing with their whole family, can't you leave them a way to live?!"

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment before asking expressionlessly: "Officer, I don't quite understand what you mean? I'm going outside the district on business."

Wang Daolin stepped forward and said softly to him: "Brother, take my advice, don't take bullets for the people making money behind you. However you came, take your people back the same way, and we'll have no problems."

Lu Wei paused: "I said I don't understand what you mean, I need to get through now."

"Must you make trouble?" Wang Daolin asked.

Lu Wei was anxious inside, and seeing the other side didn't have many people, he immediately retorted: "If I commit a crime, arrest me. If you have no evidence, don't block the way. Have you seen how many people I have in my cars? Fifty or sixty! What can four or five police officers do?!"

"Brother, can you give me some face?" Wang Daolin's tone remained very gentle.

"When the dock gang had trouble recently, did you arrest Xu Hu? What happened in the end? Didn't you just detain him for two days before releasing him?!" Seeing Wang Daolin seemed timid, Lu Wei immediately countered: "What's your rank?! If even the director couldn't handle it clearly, how could you?!"

Wang Daolin looked at him without responding.

Lu Wei turned back and waved: "Go, let's go!"

Behind him, the stopped convoy immediately started moving forward again.

"Pat!"

Wang Daolin suddenly reached out to wrap his arm around Lu Wei's neck, smiling as he replied: "Why are you so stubborn?!"

"What the fuck are you doing?" Lu Wei demanded face to face.

As soon as he spoke, seeing Wang Daolin make a move, the Longkou District lackeys in the cars immediately rushed out.

"What are you doing? Police officer hitting people?!"

"What's the meaning of this?! Let go!"

"...!"

Several dozen people surrounded them like this.

All of Wang Daolin's fellow officers drew their service weapons, surrounding the perimeter.

"What's with the guns? Did I commit a crime? Shoot me if you dare?!"

"Take out phones, film him, let's see what he can do!"

"...!"

These dock workers association people had truly grown arrogant at the port, because the police officers, marine police, and customs enforcement staff there all had intricate relationships with them. So they weren't afraid of uniformed officers in their hearts, and even outside district police officers kept a low profile when entering the port.

This habit made them feel that with their large numbers, even if they caused trouble, the law wouldn't punish crowds, and those above would cover for them.

The group not only showed no fear of the guns in Wang Daolin's colleagues' hands, but surged forward in a dark mass.

Looking at the crowd coming toward him, Wang Daolin smiled lightly and said to Lu Wei: "You! You've been locked up so long your brain's not working. Think about it, why would I dare come with just four people to block you?"

Hearing this, Lu Wei's brows furrowed slightly.

Wang Daolin's left arm wrapped around Lu Wei's neck while his right hand opened his holster, and he suddenly leaned to his ear saying: "Those above don't know who to make an example of, why did you rush up?"

At these words, the four officers suddenly used their bodies to surround Wang Daolin in the center, blocking the outside lackeys' line of sight.

Wang Daolin lowered his gun, aiming at Lu Wei's thigh.

"Bang!!!"

A crisp gunshot rang out. Before Lu Wei could react, he felt his right knee lose support as burning pain shot to his head.

Wang Daolin's left arm supported Lu Wei's body as he looked down at him slightly and said softly again: "Want to get through? Huh?!"

"Bang!!"

Another gunshot rang out as Lu Wei's right kneecap visibly deformed and bent, blood spraying over ten centimeters high.

"Still want to get through?!" Wang Daolin asked softly while pulling the trigger again.

"Bang!"

Lu Wei's right leg was completely ruined as he screamed in pain before passing out.

After firing three shots, Wang Daolin pushed aside the officers blocking him and pointed at the Longkou District people saying: "Call Baocheng, tell him I'm coming to arrest him in twenty minutes. If he hides at all, I'll count him as a fugitive."

With that, Wang Daolin got into the car with his gun and called the deputy director above.

"Hello?"

"Leader, I encountered dock gang troublemakers on Sea Swallow Pit road. After warning shots were ineffective, they assaulted police and resisted arrest."

"Damn it, they're rebelling!" The deputy director cursed and immediately waved his hand shouting: "Riot squad, get out of the city, sweep away these local tyrants!"

Why did Wang Daolin only bring four people out of the city when he knew the other side had many people?

If he had brought more people, would Lu Wei still have acted so aggressively? If Lu Wei hadn't jumped out, would Wang Daolin have had reason to shoot?!

Old Wang had worked in the police system for over ten years - what hadn't he seen?

Those above were frustrated, so Old Wang needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, to vent for those above, so Lu Wei was unfortunate.

At the same time, the Yu family would have to remember Old Wang's favor.

To help the Bai and Kong families escape, he had hurriedly taken only four officers to the scene and nearly suffered assault, finally having no choice but to shoot Lu Wei, thoroughly offending the Dock Workers General Association.

So didn't the Yu family owe him a big favor?!

Wang Daolin, having crawled and fought his way through the basic-level officialdom for so many years, had abundant personal connections and accumulated weight. Now he only lacked one thing - an opportunity, an opportunity to soar.

......

That night.

Over ten members of the Dock Workers Association council of elders were summoned by the Police Bureau without receiving any prior notice.

At the same time, Longkou District hall master Baocheng was intercepted and arrested by police officers halfway while preparing to go handle the police assault incident at Sea Swallow Pit.
