Han Ning asked Cui Enxi to drive the car to follow the taxi Li Chunzai was in. He was talking to Jiang Qing and arranging what to do next.

“Yes, go and apply for an arrest warrant from Zheng Sir right now. Then arrange for a team to go to the restaurant and lie in ambush. We’re following this guy right now…”

Han Ning ordered Cui Enxi to follow as he arranged the next mission for Jiang Qing.

Seeing that the taxi was not heading back to the Korean restaurant, Cui Enxi and Ya Cai were puzzled.

It was not until Han Ning hung up the phone and knew that he had finished making arrangements for tonight’s operation that Cui Enxi asked.

“Team Leader Han, what do you think the target is doing now?”

Han Ning had long thought of the other party’s destination and spoke without thinking.

“He’s going to the mountain road to see the truck he hid. He’s probably going to investigate the agreed-upon location.”

As soon as Han Ning explained, the two people in the car suddenly understood.

No wonder the people of the Hong Kong General Administration said that Han Ning was a natural born criminal police officer. His talent was unparalleled.

When Cui Enxi first learned about these rumors, no one believed it. However, during the time they were working with him, Ya Cai and Enxi had already believed those rumors and even thought that he was more powerful than what the rumors said.

The three of them drove and followed Li Chunzai all the way to the forest where the small truck was hidden a few days ago. Just like before, Han Ning followed the target alone and watched the other party carefully check the car.

Han Ning was glad that they had restored the scene to its original state after investigating last time. Otherwise, they would have been exposed.

Li Chunzai carefully checked the surroundings of the car where he hid it and cleaned his traces along the way. After leaving this forest, he directly returned to the restaurant.

“Team Leader Han, what should we do next?”

Ya Cai still refused to give up. Compared to capturing the murderer inside, he wanted Han Ning to capture Yu Wei, the woman who had killed many tycoons in Thailand and swept away countless wealth.

“Our people should be arriving soon. We’ll start deploying when it gets dark. Everyone has to be in place.”

Han Ning already had a detailed plan for tonight’s capture. After everyone was gathered, the operation would begin as soon as the sky darkened.

Almost at six in the morning, Jiang Qing called Han Ning.

“Brother Han, the person you want has already arrived at South Bay. We didn’t dare to get too close. What should we do next?”

Fu Xin needed someone around him so Han Ning did not let Zhang Zhi participate in the capture tonight. After all, he was indeed not very skilled at such operations.

However, Han Ning never expected Jiang Qing to come alone. He had never asked her to come.

“Wait with everyone. I’ll go find you.”

After saying this, Han Ning left the surveillance car and walked towards the street where Jiang Qing was currently located.

Because Zhou Zhan had followed Yu Wei to the seaview villa in South Bay, he was somewhat far from the area of the Korean restaurant. He was still on the way and was expected to make it before the operation.

“Why are you here? The operation tonight was no joke!”

The first thing Han Ning said when she saw Jiang Qing was to reprimand her for rashly coming to the frontlines.

“I came to give you an arrest warrant. Besides, I’m also a member of the team. Why can’t I come?!”

Jiang Qing retorted childishly, leaving Han Ning speechless.

As the two of them were in a deadlock, Han Ning caught a glimpse of Division Chief Park behind her with a gloomy expression. He suddenly remembered that someone seemed to be missing from the operation this afternoon. Only when he saw the other party did Han Ning realize that Division Chief Park, who had argued with him, was missing from the car.

However, Han Ning did not care about the other party’s emotions. He ignored him and directly planned for tonight’s operation.

Since Jiang Qing was already here, it was impossible for her to return easily. He could only ask her to stay away when he acted.

He had already investigated the terrain around the restaurant and had figured out the direction to escape.

Han Ning was very vigilant against the cunning Li Chunzai. He had surrounded the restaurant and set up an inescapable net. This time, Li Chunzai will definitely not be able to escape.

In order to prevent him from using ordinary people as hostages, Han Ning even asked Jiang Qing to bring the officers to a nearby shop in advance and tell everyone about the police’s actions tonight. He told everyone to end their business as soon as possible and to close the door and not go out.

The commercial street of South Bay was filled with short old houses. With Han Ning’s skills, it was easy for him to escape from such a place, be it from the ground or from the roof.

Therefore, whether it was the roof or the ground, Han Ning had calculated everything.

Everything was now ready. Zhou Zhan arrived at the restaurant just after dark. Everyone was present. Once the restaurant’s business ended, the capture operation would begin.

In order to ensure that the police would find out about the situation in the restaurant as soon as possible, Jiang Qing sneaked into the restaurant when Han Ning wasn’t paying attention. Coincidentally, the female attendant remembered Jiang Qing and welcomed her warmly.

After Han Ning realized that Jiang Qing had disappeared, he was very anxious. After all, the other party was a girl. Although she was a police officer, she was only an administrative staff member who had just joined the police force.

When he found out that she had gone missing, Han Ning kept calling her, but Jiang Qing never answered. It was only when he received Jiang Qing’s message that he found out that she had already entered the restaurant. His heart, which had just calmed down, instantly tensed up again.

Cui Enxi knew what Han Ning was worried about and volunteered to enter the store to take care of Jiang Qing.

Han Ning didn’t want to agree at first. However, because women who could become police officers were too opinionated, Han Ning couldn’t help but agree. In the end, he allowed the two of them to dawdle until they became the last customers to leave the shop.

Because his own people were in the store, Han Ning was somewhat uneasy. He looked at her watch frequently, afraid that something would happen inside and he wouldn’t be able to save them in time.

It was soon 10 pm, but they still hadn’t come out. Han Ning was getting more and more anxious. After waiting for another 10 minutes, just as Han Ning was about to give the order to barge in, Jiang Qing and Cui Enxi walked out of the restaurant side by side.

Jiang Qing gestured obscurely in Han Ning’s direction, indicating that he could take action.

Because the surrounding shops had received the police’s warning in advance, they had all ended their business early. The entire street was silent.

Li Chunzai tidied up the kitchen as usual. After that he threw the leftover kitchen trash into the trash pile at the back door with another chef. When he was throwing the trash, he acutely sensed that the surrounding atmosphere was not right. He immediately ignored it and only faintly used the person beside him to cover his figure.

The police officers lying in ambush were prepared to capture him at any moment, but they could not find a chance to start.

Han Ning, who was blocking the front door, waited for a long time. There was no sound from the back door, and there was also no sign of anyone at the front door. He was puzzled and felt that something was wrong.

It was not until the female attendant at the restaurant left after work that Han Ning knew that he could not wait any longer and ordered everyone to take action together.

After searching carefully, he found that Li Chunzai was no longer in the restaurant. He couldn’t even find any traces of the other party.

“Han Ning, what should we do? How did we lose him?!” Zhou Zhan asked anxiously.

Han Ning frowned and quickly pondered about the current situation.

“Zhou Zhan will first expand the search range with the officers. We’ll spread the search with the restaurant as the center. Search in teams and don’t act alone. The other party is very dangerous!”

After giving the order, the surrounding police officers began to split up and search in an orderly manner. Han Ning was still thinking. According to the arrangements just now, it was impossible for Li Chunzai to escape, but how did the other party disappear?!

After thinking for a long time, the police officers around the restaurant scattered. Suddenly, Han Ning saw the trash pile beside him and thought of a way for the other party to disappear under the siege of many police officers.

Han Ning didn’t call for anyone else and ran towards the trash pile at the back door alone.

This trash pile was at the end of the alley at the back door of the restaurant. Han Ning did not enter the alley but hid in the shadows at the entrance. Not long after, he sensed a careful black figure coming out of the alley.

After the other party entered his attack range, Han Ning quickly attacked. With a single move, he subdued the other party and instantly captured him. After handcuffing the other party, he pressed the still confused Li Chunzai back to the police car at the entrance of the restaurant.

“Zhou Zhan, bring everyone back. I’ve already captured the target.”

Han Ning used the walkie talkie in the car to call back the police officers who had left.

It didn’t take long for everyone to return one after another. When they saw Li Chunzai, who was handcuffed to the police car by Han Ning, they were all surprised.

“Damn… Han Ning, you’re amazing!”

When Zhou Zhan heard from Han Ning, he was still in disbelief. However, when he returned, he couldn’t help but sigh..
