Chapter 338: Anger

The other two also pulled out their guns and pointed them at Lu Peng, one on the left and one on the right, staring at him.

"You've made a mistake, haven't you?" Lu Peng suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly.

"Stop talking nonsense, surrender if you know what's best for you, or don't blame us for being rude." The leading policeman spoke in a bad tone, obviously not taking Lu Peng seriously.

Lu Peng was furious. Although he didn't know why the three people came, he guessed that they must have received benefits from Wang Huzi and deliberately made things difficult for him. He took a deep breath, calmed down his inner resentment, and said coldly: "I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise you will regret it."

"Humph!" The leading policeman snorted coldly, pulled the trigger without warning, and a shell fell to the ground. Then he shouted in poor Chinese: "Don't move!"

Lu Peng was startled. He never dreamed that the other party would dare to shoot. He cursed him as an idiot and dodged subconsciously.

Due to the short distance, Lu Peng had no time to avoid it and could only bear it.

"Bang!"

A bullet hit his chest, and Lu Peng could not help but groan in pain.

"Brother Lu!" The girl was shocked, screamed, and rushed up desperately.

"Stop!" The leading policeman stared at the girl coldly and pulled the trigger again, but the bullet did not shoot out. Instead, he said to Lu Peng's forehead: "Tell me the truth, did you kidnap my sister and rob her bag?"

"Brother Lu, I beg you to save my sister, please!" The girl knelt down in front of Lu Peng and begged.

Lu Peng's face changed slightly, realizing that the situation was not good, and forced himself to calm down, saying: "You misunderstood, I don't know your sister."

"Nonsense, how could you not know my sister?" The man stared at Lu Peng, his eyes full of murderous intent, wishing to kill Lu Peng immediately.

"I really don't know your sister, you've made a mistake!" Lu Peng smiled bitterly, sighed inwardly, and was a little confused. Wang Huzi had already reported the case, and the police should have been dispatched long ago. Why was there no news for a long time? Moreover, this group of police came aggressively, and it seemed that they were not just passing by. Is there something else strange about this matter?

"Are you not from the Northeast?" the man asked suspiciously.

"No." Lu Peng shook his head, thought of a key point, and tried to ask: "Is your sister's surname Lin?"

"Huh!?!" The man's eyes lit up and blurted out: "Do you know my sister?"

Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his judgment was correct. He asked: "How do you know that I am a bad guy?"

The man explained: "Because only you know my sister's name."

"How do you prove it?" Lu Peng asked back, feeling ecstatic.

"This is simple. As long as you go to the police station with me, I will tell you about my sister's situation." The man said excitedly.

"No hurry." Lu Peng did not agree immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "You guys can go first. I will find you after I arrange things here."

"This..." The man was stunned and reluctant to agree.

"There is no time." The leading policeman said, glancing at the money in Lu Peng's hand, and urged, "I think this guy is sneaky. I guess he is not a good bird. Let's take him back to the bureau for investigation."

The man hesitated.

Lu Peng took this opportunity to say, "How about this, if I haven't found you in half an hour, please inform Captain Li that I am in Room 301 on the second floor of Jinyuan Hotel."

"Okay!" The man thought about it and agreed.

Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the girl, signaled her not to worry, and then walked forward. A car happened to pass by, so he stopped it and got in.

"Master, please help me take it to Jinyuan Hotel in the west of the city." Lu Peng took out 500 yuan and handed it to the driver.

The driver was a man in his forties. He was stunned again when he saw the license plate of Lu Peng's car. He took the money and put it in his pocket, started the car, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, where are you going?"

Lu Peng did not hide it and said: "I have urgent matters to deal with. Please take me to Jinyuan Hotel in the west of the city first."

"Okay, sit tight." The driver smiled heartily and stepped on the accelerator to leave.

The driver did not take Lu Peng to the city, but drove along the highway to the suburbs, turning more than once on the way.

Lu Peng said nothing and observed secretly. He soon found the driver's abnormality. After thinking about it, he did not expose it.

The car drove more and more remote, gradually leaving the bustling downtown, and finally stopped at a dilapidated factory.

The driver stopped the car, asked Lu Peng to get off, pointed at the factory and said: "This is the engineering department of the industrial park. What you saw just now is my cousin's house. He is on duty tonight and should still be sleeping inside."

"Thank you." Lu Peng nodded and took a look at the dilapidated factory. The environment was very bad. Except for a three-story office with lights on, the rest of the place was pitch black. It looked abandoned. The building was covered with weeds and dead leaves. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

The driver smiled and said: "Why are you being polite? We are all from neighboring villages. It is only right for us to take care of each other."

"Okay, go and get busy." Lu Peng waved his hand and walked straight to the office. When he opened the door, a musty smell came to his nose, almost making him faint. He quickly covered his mouth and coughed for a while. When he looked up, there was only a bed and a computer left in the room. It was empty.

"That's weird. Where did the person go?" Lu Peng frowned and searched carefully. After making sure that no one was there, he backed out and squatted near the door frame. He carefully observed the surrounding environment and suddenly found a person in the corner. In the dark compartment, his eyes lit up, he took out his flashlight and slipped in along the gap.

The first thing you see is a spacious underground warehouse with various scraps piled up. Several tattered paintings hang on the walls, and there is a wooden table and chair by the window.

There was a dim kerosene lamp on the table, and the light flickered on and off, making it difficult to tell whether there was anything hidden inside.

Lu Peng held his breath and listened for a moment, but didn't notice any noise. He walked carefully to the table, reached out and touched the Wenwan walnuts on the table. He felt that his tentacles were cold, and with a thought, he grabbed the Wenwan walnuts.

Wenwan walnuts were warm, smooth and delicate, with excellent texture. Lu Peng was immediately stunned. Not only that, judging from the material and decoration of Wenwan walnuts, they were definitely not antiques that ordinary people could own.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Peng put down the walnuts, his eyes brightened, and he pondered.

After a while, Lu Peng picked up the walnuts again and inspected them again. Based on his memory, it was easy to judge that this was an antique made during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the late Yuan Dynasty and Song Dynasty. It was an exclusive item for the royal family and relatives. It was not available to ordinary people, let alone circulated among the people. to the people.

Since we can collect Wenwan walnuts from the reign of Song Huizong, it means that the head of the household must have a special status, or have a close relationship with Song Huizong.

If this family is really related to Song Huizong, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to him. Thinking of this, Lu Peng's eyes flashed with brilliance, he put the walnuts into his pocket, quietly left the basement, returned to the car, and found The two policemen were staring at him and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. The person you are looking for has already reached an agreement with me. You can take him away."

"Really?!" the man shouted excitedly with joy. He obviously regarded Lu Peng as his savior and had no doubt whether what Lu Peng said was true.

The other two police officers exchanged glances and pulled out their guns in unison.

Lu Peng didn't expect that these policemen would dare to rob you in broad daylight. He snorted coldly and said without any sign of weakness: "Believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot?"

"You..." The three of them were startled, all showing fear.

Lu Peng said coldly: "You are considered veterans who are used to the wind and waves. You should know very well that doing this is illegal!"

"Brother, don't be impulsive. We are just conducting a routine investigation. No matter who it is, as long as it involves a murder case, we have to act in accordance with the law. You can understand." The leading policeman said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Lu Peng snorted coldly. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to these policemen, started the car and went straight to the hospital.

The hospital was not far from the factory. Arriving there more than ten minutes later, Lu Peng got out of the car and went straight to the hospital. He asked questions along the way and soon found Li Xia outside the ward.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake." Lu Peng knocked on the door and peeked inside. He saw Li Xia lying on the bed, her face pale, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong.

"Hey, Brother Lu?!" On the hospital bed, Li Xia looked at Lu Peng in surprise and struggled to sit up.

"Sister-in-law, I just called Captain Li. He said something happened to you. I came over to see what happened." Lu Peng asked with concern.

"It's okay. Maybe I got a little cold last night and didn't get a good rest. Just rest for a day or two and I'll be fine." Li Xia shook her head, seeming to think of something, and asked anxiously: "Where's Xiaobao, have you found it?"

"Found it." Lu Peng nodded and said.

"Is he okay? Is he crying?" Li Xia asked.

"He is very sensible and didn't say a word. I think he should be fine." Lu Peng said perfunctorily and continued: "Sister-in-law, you can rest in peace and recuperate. I will come to see you when the injury is better."

"That's okay, you have helped us a lot, we can't let you go away in vain." Li Xia quickly refused.

"It's okay. I just came to visit my sister-in-law and ask about the situation. Now that the matter has been clarified, I can rest assured." Lu Peng found an excuse at random. Seeing that Li Xia had no intention of staying, he said goodbye wisely: "Okay. Now, you can rest and I won’t disturb you.”

"Yes." Li Xia nodded and warned, "Brother Lu, drive slower and contact me anytime if you need anything."

Lu Peng agreed, walked to the door, turned back, took out 500 yuan and handed it to Li Xia, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know your family is in trouble, keep the money, write the password on the note, and come back Reimburse me."

"This doesn't help..." Li Xia was startled and subconsciously shied away, then smiled bitterly, "Brother Lu, I know you are a good person, but I really can't ask for this money. It will kill you. Please, I must Take it back."

"I'm not short of this little money. I just hope that my sister-in-law will accept it. This incident happened because of me. I can't let your family be worried. If you accept this little money, I will feel better." Lu Peng insisted, unable to help but say He forced the money to Li Xia.

Li Xia hesitated and wanted to say something more, but Lu Peng stopped her and her tone became stern, "I have decided. If you insist on not accepting it, then I won't leave."

"What are you doing!" Li Xia panicked, and while trying to dissuade Lu Peng, she begged: "Brother Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I don't think this money is too little, it's really too much. If others find out, I will This life is ruined.”

"You deserve this. You are a good person and deserve the money." Lu Peng was firm.

"But……"

"Stop talking, listen to me, take the money and get treated first, don't worry about other things, I'll take care of everything."

"Then... thank you!"

Li Xia was grateful, tears welled up in her eyes, she said with a sob, and a thought came to her mind. If it weren't for her family's poverty, she would have agreed long ago. After all, Lu Peng looked handsome, and he was a soldier, which was completely different from the men in the village. He also saved her life. Even if she couldn't get married, she was willing to be with Lu Peng, and even take care of his children.

Lu Peng didn't notice this scene, comforted her a few words, and turned to walk out of the hospital.

Rushing back to the factory, he found that the workers had left. Lu Peng rushed back to the guesthouse without stopping. After looking around, he found that Zhang Jianguo was still sleeping soundly. He couldn't bear to wake him up, so he went straight into the kitchen to prepare to cook.

"Captain Lu!"

Just when Lu Peng was cooking, Li Hongqi hurried in, looked at Lu Peng with a complicated expression, and after a while, he sighed: "I heard about it. Thank you for helping us catch the criminals. I thank you on behalf of all the employees."

"You're welcome." Lu Peng smiled faintly and pointed to the food in the pot, "Eat it while it's hot."

"Alas, I have no appetite." Li Hongqi sighed.

"Are you worried that Captain Li and the others will get into trouble?" Lu Peng guessed what Li Hongqi was worried about.

"I'm not worried about them. Although they are all our comrades, compared to you, they are simply scum. If they lose their jobs because of this, we will become sinners."

"It's not that exaggerated. Don't worry. Since they have chosen to believe me, I will definitely do my best to bring these people to justice." Lu Peng promised seriously.

"So, you have already got the evidence?" Li Hongqi's eyes lit up and asked impatiently.

"Almost." Lu Peng said hesitantly, considering how to start.

"You say, I promise not to tell anyone." Li Hongqi patted his chest and promised.

Lu Peng took a deep breath and said what he thought, "The other party is obviously premeditated this time. The target must be Li Xia and Xiao Shitou. If you are worried, you can send someone to protect them 24 hours a day to ensure their safety. In addition, we must find out the details of this group of people as soon as possible, the more detailed the better, and strive to kill them with one blow and completely eliminate this hidden danger."

"Okay, I'll notify everyone immediately." Li Hongqi nodded and took out his phone to contact.

Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Thinking that Li Xia and her daughter were temporarily safe, his heart fell into his stomach. Thinking that Li Xia had been thinking about Xiao Shitou, he asked: "Is sister-in-law's mood more stable now?"

"Well, she just talked to me a lot, and I guess she will recover soon."
