Two minutes later, Zhang Lin heard the sound of the elevator.

Everyone was prepared, the atmosphere was heavy. Wu Peng was also encountering this kind of thing for the first time; his adrenaline was surging, and his heart was pounding.

When they first returned to the residential compound, Zhang Lin had told him to leave first, but he was afraid that Zhang Lin and the remaining colleague wouldn't have enough manpower, so he stubbornly refused to leave and insisted on coming along.

Zhang Lin didn't have time to argue with him, so he had to let him do as he pleased.

"The suspect is in the elevator," the colleague downstairs reminded Zhang Lin over the phone.

The sound of the elevator cable rubbing against the pulleys grew louder and louder, and finally stopped at the floor where Zhang Lin and the others were ambushing.

Brother Qian heard the "ding" sound when the elevator reached their floor, tightened his gloves, and waited for the elevator doors to open. He and his men quickened their pace and walked out of the elevator.

The two first checked the elevator lobby to make sure no one was there. Only then did they take out the key to unlock the door. As soon as the door opened, they finally saw the treasure hidden here.

The carpets were bundled into long rolls, all lying neatly in PP bags. Brother Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that his contact and subordinates had been arrested, fortunately, this batch of goods was still here. Once he sold the stuff and got the money, he could go out and hide for a few years. After the heat died down, he could make a comeback.

The two had just put the first roll of carpet on the handcart when the door behind them was kicked open.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

Brother Qian didn't expect that the diversion he had carefully planned had failed. He took a stride toward the balcony, trying to climb down from the air conditioner platform, but Zhang Lin rushed up, grabbed his collar, and threw him to the ground.

Brother Qian was about to reach for his gun, but Zhang Lin was prepared. He kicked the hand holding the gun, sending the gun flying several meters away. Brother Qian wasn't a pushover either. He immediately flipped over, trying to grab the gun on the ground. How could Zhang Lin let him pick it up? The two immediately started wrestling.

Zhang Lin's other colleague was fighting with Brother Qian's subordinate. The man was holding a knife, and every strike was aimed to kill. The slightest slip-up could mean death or serious injury.

Although Wu Peng had been in plenty of fights, he was encountering this kind of life-or-death situation for the first time. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.

Seeing Zhang Lin being hit in the face by the other party's underhanded move, he instantly lost the upper hand.

Wu Peng couldn't bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth, rushed over, picked up the gun on the ground, and pointed it at Brother Qian, saying, "Don't move!"

In the second that Brother Qian was distracted, Zhang Lin struck him in the chest with an elbow, then twisted his arm and directly handcuffed him. All the movements were completed in the blink of an eye, in one smooth motion.

With Wu Peng holding the gun and watching Brother Qian, Zhang Lin ran to help his colleague. Seeing that things were not going well, Brother Qian's subordinate tried to slip away, but the two of them subdued him together.

In just a few minutes, Brother Qian and his remaining accomplice were all arrested.

At the same time, Chen Hao was also taken down.

When Teacher Lin learned that her son had helped drug dealers transport drugs, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.

On the way to the police station, she couldn't help but cry several times. She didn't believe that her excellent son would do such a thing.

When she saw her son wearing a courier uniform with shifty eyes, what she had firmly believed in collapsed instantly.

Teacher Lin swung her arm around and slapped Chen Hao hard across the face.

Chen Hao was beaten speechless.

Teacher Lin cried out, "Look at yourself now! Are you still my son?"

Wearing handcuffs, Chen Hao hurriedly explained, "Mom, Mom, it's not what you think. I, I was forced."

"Whether you were forced or volunteered, your job and reputation are gone!" Teacher Lin was most proud of her son's excellence in her life. Who would have thought that her son would now have a criminal record.

Chen Hao's spirit was drained by these words, and he slumped down.

"How can you be worthy of your deceased father? And you even accepted their money! You're so confused! What kind of people are they? They're drug dealers! How can you take their money? Were you out of your mind?" Teacher Lin sobbed uncontrollably.

"Mom, I was wrong. I didn't want it at the time, but they insisted on forcing me to take it."

"You!" Teacher Lin raised her hand to hit him, but finally slowly lowered her arm, leaving only muffled sobs.

The son she had painstakingly raised was ruined just like that. Anna, it was all Anna. If she hadn't dragged them onto the drug-smuggling boat, none of this would have happened.

Thinking of how Anna had been targeting Jia Wenjun on the ship, it must have been Jia Wenjun who ran her ship aground, exposing her as a drug dealer. That's why she hated Jia Wenjun so much, even wanting to kill her.

Teacher Lin clenched her fists. Although she also loathed Jia Wenjun, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. She couldn't directly take revenge on Anna, but she could prevent Anna from getting her way. Didn't Anna want Jia Wenjun to die? She just wouldn't let Anna get her wish.

When she came out of the police station, Teacher Lin was already a little unsteady on her feet.

Wu Peng walked over from behind and supported her. "Teacher Lin, be careful."

Teacher Lin stared at him. "You, you're the one who came to me before, Jia Wenjun's lawyer?"

Wu Peng nodded. He had gone to Teacher Lin to collect information for Jia Wenjun's case, but when she heard that he was defending Jia Wenjun, she didn't want to say much and directly closed the door and drove him away.

"Lawyer Wu, are you free? I want to talk to you."

Wu Peng was a little surprised. "I wonder what you want to talk about?"

"Jia Wenjun's matter." She had indeed heard some things on the ship before, but she didn't want to cause trouble. She hadn't thought about meddling in other people's business, but now that her son had been harmed like this, she didn't want to be a coward anymore. No matter what would happen after she spoke out, in short, she just didn't want to let Anna get her way.

Hearing her say this, Wu Peng quickly pulled her into a nearby cafe.

"Teacher Lin, I will record what you say, is that okay with you?" Wu Peng asked.

Teacher Lin was desperate. "You can record it. I guarantee that every word I say is true. It was on the night Zhao Di was murdered, I went back to the cabin to sleep. When I was half-asleep, I felt extremely thirsty and wanted to get up and drink some water, but I was weak all over and couldn't get up no matter what. At this moment, I heard a burst of engine noise, the sound getting louder and louder until there was a 'boom' sound. It felt like the side of my room was hit by something, and the ship shook for a long time. I was very scared at the time, thinking the ship was going to sink."

"What was it that hit you?"

"I think it should be a ship."

Wu Peng frowned. "You mean, there was another ship that hit your ship on the night Zhao Di had the accident?"

Teacher Lin hesitated for a few seconds. "I guess that's the case. I didn't see with my own eyes what hit our ship, but what else on the sea could crash into us besides a ship?"

"Then do you know what time it was?"

Teacher Lin shook her head. "I don't know. I couldn't move at the time, and my head was dizzy. If the ship hadn't crashed so hard, and it was on my side of the room, I probably wouldn't have known. After the ship stopped shaking, I fell asleep."

Wu Peng looked at her. "Why didn't you tell the police who questioned you about this before?"

Teacher Lin looked a little embarrassed. "I, I was frightened before, and my mind was too confused. After resting for a few days, I just remembered it."
