Chapter 313 Rescuing 200 Mining Slaves
Time ticked by, and all the armed police were ready to move, waiting only for Qi Tongwei's order.
As darkness gradually dissipated, the outline of the Xishan Mine became clearer. The majestic mountains and lush green trees created a picturesque natural landscape, but unfortunately, human greed is never satisfied.
The thugs, who had stayed up all night, all had dark circles under their eyes, and the room reeked of smoke.
"action"
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, and the armed police rushed towards the gate of Xishan Mine. The gate was surrounded by an iron fence more than three meters high, making it impossible for the workers inside to escape.
Two armed police officers immediately cut the iron lock on the gate, and the armed police officers behind them quickly divided into two rows to control each entrance.
The mine had set up makeshift sheds where the workers slept on large communal beds, living without any dignity. To prevent the workers from escaping, the doors were locked from the outside every night.
A thug rubbed his eyes and went out to urinate. As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned to see a large number of armed police officers.
"Brother, there are police!"
The thugs inside immediately grabbed their guns. They were all reckless; surrendering was out of the question, but they figured they might have a chance if they took a gamble.
A bearded man wearing shorts rushed out with a shotgun and, without saying a word, fired a shot at the armed police officer, who quickly dove to the ground to avoid it.
boom.
The bearded man fired another shot, shattering the morning's tranquility. The miners in the dormitory trembled with fear.
Qi Tongwei rushed over, raised his hand, and shot the bearded man dead.
"Anyone who dares to resist will be shot on sight."
Then another seven or eight armed thugs rushed out. The armed police, having received the order to kill them, immediately opened fire as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Bang bang bang.
A burst of gunfire riddled the seven or eight thugs who rushed out with bullets.
The remaining thugs in the room were terrified when they saw their companion lying in a pool of blood. They had been playing cards and bragging together just last night, and even said they were going to a nightclub to find prostitutes. And now they were dead.
Qi Tongwei, holding a large megaphone, immediately shouted, "Listen up, people inside! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. I'll give you only one minute to consider!"
"If you don't come out with your hands on your sides in one minute, I will consider it as you're prepared to resist to the bitter end, and your only fate will be death."
The word "death" terrified the thugs inside, completely severing their courage to resist. Damn it, this guy is supposed to be a policeman? He's got military discipline.
"Thirty seconds left"
"Twenty seconds left"
"Ten seconds left"
boom.
Qi Tongwei fired a shot into the air; his words were like a death knell.
"Officer, we surrender."
"Officer, we surrender."
"Officer, we surrender."
The thugs inside the house were so frightened that they scrambled out, covering their heads and running for their lives; all they wanted now was to survive.
The armed police quickly brought the remaining thugs under control and immediately cleaned up the battlefield.
Qi Tongwei's decisive and efficient style earned him the nickname "Living Yama" from the armed police present.
Before long, the armed police rescued all the workers and took control of the entire mine.
When the workers saw the armed police and learned that they had been rescued, they were all overjoyed and wept tears of joy. The Xishan Mine had been in operation for more than four years, and the worker who had worked there the longest had not had a single day off since he was arrested on the first day of operation. He probably didn't even remember that his child was his father.
"Thank you, officer."
"Thank you, officer."
"Thank you, officer."
A simple thank you, yet the workers harbored countless grievances. At this moment, they were free, and all they wanted was to hear the voices of their families.
Qi Tongwei took out a photo of Chen Dali and said, "Fellow villagers, you have suffered. The scum who harmed you will be punished by law."
"Look at this photo now, isn't it this scum who kidnapped them?"
The workers looked closely and, upon seeing Chen Dali's photo, gritted their teeth in hatred.
"Officer, it was this scum from the joint defense team who arrested me. I'd recognize him even if he were ashes."
"Officer, I was also captured by this beast. I want to chop him to death right now."
"Officer, you need to arrest this bastard right now!"
"Officer, you must do us justice! I've been imprisoned for four years, and every day I've thought about escaping. I've finally been waiting for you!"
"Officer, I've been locked up for a year."
"Officer, I've also been imprisoned for a year."
"Officer, I've also been imprisoned for a year."
"Officer, I've been locked up for a year."
"Officer, I've also been imprisoned for a year."
"Officer, I've been locked up for a year."
"Officer, I've also been imprisoned for a year."
Hearing these harsh words, Qi Tongwei felt terrible. Damn it, they are human beings, not cattle or horses. They are people with thoughts and feelings, not beasts who only know how to work.
The armed police officer gripped his gun tightly, his heart filled with anger. It seemed he should have killed all those thugs earlier.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. "Folks, the scum in the photo is named Chen Dali. He's been shot to death and deserved it."
When the workers heard that Chen Dali was dead, they were so excited that they were almost at a loss for what to do. After all, in the hearts of simple folks, death is the end of all debts.
"Fellow villagers, rest assured, we will definitely investigate thoroughly and give you all justice."
"Thank you, officer."
"Thank you, officer."
"Thank you, officer."
The workers felt a sense of relief; with Chen Dali dead, no one would threaten their families anymore.
After tallying the number of workers rescued, Qi Tongwei immediately called Ye Xingguo.
"Reporting to Director Ye, nearly 200 workers have all been rescued. Nine of the armed thugs who resisted were killed, and the rest have all been arrested."
Ye Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief, but the death of nine people was still beyond his expectations. This kid was too young and impetuous, and his bloodlust would make him a target of ostracism in officialdom.
"Don't publicize this yet; I need to report to the provincial party committee immediately."
After the operation, Qi Tongwei informed the reporters, "Director Ye, reporters have already arrived at the Xishan mine. You need to hurry."
Ye Xingguo was so angry he wanted to curse. This kid had acted first and informed the others later, determined to make a big fuss.
"You bastard!"
Qi Tongwei smiled, thinking that leaders should know a little about the hardships of ordinary people.
When reporters heard that there were imprisoned miners at the Xishan Mine, they rushed over as fast as they could, all eager to get firsthand information.
Police cars arrived quickly, creating a high-speed chase with the reporters' vehicles.
Chenjiazhai.
When the police raided the Xishan Mine, Chen Wenxiong received the news immediately and was furious. To make matters worse, that bastard Qi Tongwei wanted to cause him trouble, which was simply outrageous.
"Wenru, go to the scene right away and check it out. Let me know immediately if anything happens."
Chen Wenru's hair was a mess, and she was already in a bad mood first thing in the morning. "Big brother, that bastard Qi Tongwei really can't be allowed to live any longer. We have to kill him no matter what it takes."
"Wenru, stop talking, you go first."
Chen Wenxiong restrained his anger; as the head of the family, he absolutely could not afford to lose his composure now.
