Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Ling Feng looked at the woman beside him with a playful gaze. Although she wore heavy makeup, it couldnāt hide the delicate skin beneath. Moreover, her movements were efficient, and the calluses on her hands flashed by quicklyāclearly, she wasnāt the type to come to a bar to let loose.
"Miss, I donāt accept rewards without merit," Ling Feng pushed the Blue Fantasy cocktail back to the girl and said, "Iāll admit Iām quite the looker, and a magnet for the ladies, but let me make it clear that Iām quite traditional, and I donāt just accept drinks from girls!"
Bai Feifei was somewhat dazed. Was this guy nuts? It was just a cocktail, why was he making such a fuss? If he really were such a traditional man, how could he be found in a place like this?
Bai Feifei couldnāt help but look down on him in her mind. But she had no choiceāaccording to undercover reports, a drug deal would be going down in this bar today, and her Criminal Police team had to blend in as a last resort in hopes of rounding them all up during the transaction!
And Ling Fengās location was right in the drug traffickersā blind spot!
So Bai Feifei, enduring Ling Fengās "narcissism," forced a twisted smile onto her face: "Youāre overthinking it, I just wanted to buy you a drink, thatās all!"
"Buy me a drink?" Ling Feng said with interest: "And your reason would be? I canāt just drink for nothing, right?"
"Oh? What do you want?" Bai Feifei was getting impatient; this guy was really dragging it out.
Ling Feng said with a cheeky grin, "Well, how about this, you treat me to a drink."
Ling Feng smirked inwardly. From the moment the girl sat down, he was sure she was a copāmoreover, a female Criminal Police officer! That police vibe she gave off was just too strong!
Although he didnāt know the reason they were here, Ling Feng didnāt mind helping them out with a cover-up if they were on official duty. But if they werenāt, he wouldnāt hesitate to tease her a bit!
After all, he had received unfair treatment today!
"You..." Bai Feifei was so angry her teeth hurt. With her fiery temper, anyone who dared talk to her like this would already be lying in a hospital! But for the sake of the mission and to catch the drug traffickers, she had to grit her teeth and endure.
Cough! Ling Feng nearly choked on his own drinkāthis chick was obviously green but unblushingly brought up such talk; that was certainly interesting.
At that moment, Bai Feifeiās eyes caught a glimpse of two groups at the opposite table exchanging suitcases, shaking hands, and preparing to leave!
"Nowās the time!" Bai Feifei whispered into her pin-sized walkie-talkie on her chest: "The fish are in the net, commence the roundup!"
The Criminal Police hidden nearby immediately rushed over and surrounded the two groups of people! The patrons of the bar scattered like birds and beasts.
The two groups were taken aback for a moment, then their faces turned pale: "Damn, itās the cops. Letās break through!"
Soon, a confrontation ensued. Although the traffickers had quite a few bodyguards, how could they stand a chance against the Criminal Police? They were swiftly subdued one by one!
A fat man among the traffickers showed a look of despair on his face. A ferocious gleam flashed in his eyes as he pulled out a handgun from his chest: "Stop or Iāll kill someone!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a waitress, pressing the gun against her temple: "Everyone back off!"
"Letās not be hasty!" Bai Feifei had already subdued two or three people when she saw the fat man taking a hostage, and she exclaimed in shock: "I advise you to surrender now, thereās no escape. Only by confessing your crimes can you hope for legal leniency!"
The fat man, his flab quivering, said viciously: "Go to hell, you crazy broad. I didnāt expect you cops to come now, careless of me! Hmph, now I have a hostage, and Iām not getting out alive anyway. If you donāt let me go, Iāll start killing!"
"Team Bai, what do we do?" An undercover cop, anxious, approached Bai Feifei: "We canāt just let this guy go that easily!"
Bai Feifei, fuming, said: "Of course not, but right now Fat Brother is unstable, and he could easily hurt the hostage! We can only try to keep his emotions in check for the moment and wait for an opportunity..."
At this juncture, Ling Feng spoke up with a grin to Fat Brother: "Fat Brother, these cops wonāt let you off easily. I suggest you just shoot. One dead breaks even, killing two means a profit, right?"
Bai Feifei was furious. She grabbed Ling Feng by the collar and barked: "This is police work, shut up and get out of the way, take him down!"
Two undercover officers stepped forward to grab Ling Feng who simply shook his head: "Ah, supposed Criminal Police elites, and you canāt even tell a fake gun. Disappointing really!"
"A fake gun?" Bai Feifei gestured dismissively: "You mean..."
The fat man suddenly shouted nervously: "Bullshit, this is a real gun. Step back, you damn cops, or I really will shoot!"
Ling Feng flicked his wrist, and a toothpick shot out like a sword straight into the fat manās palm!
"Ah, it hurts!" In pain, Fat Brotherās hand shook, and the gun clattered to the floor.
Seeing her chance, Bai Feifeiās eyes lit up. With a quick stride forward, she captured Fat Brother with ease.
After picking up the handgun, Bai Feifeiās face showed skepticismāit was indeed a fake gun, one that couldnāt shoot bullets. But the key question was, how had that young man figured it out?
In such chaotic and urgent circumstances, even Bai Feifei hadnāt noticed it.
"Boss, all the contraband is here!" a Criminal Police officer placed a suitcase on the table.
"Open it!" Bai Feifei commanded sternly.
With a click, the suitcase opened, but all that was inside were rolls of toilet paperāno drugs whatsoever! What exactly was going on here?
"Officer, I donāt know what crime we have committed!" At this point, the fat man said calmly: "Is it a crime now to exchange some toilet paper in a bar?"
"You..." Bai Feifeiās complexion was awful. She immediately realized this was a diversion, a misdirection! And now, the real drug traffickers were likely in the midst of their transaction!

"Confess, where have you hidden the drugs, and where is the transaction taking place?" Bai Feifeiās eyes emitted a fierce light.
