Chapter 1 Get Off to a Good Start  

Heaven takes in the devout dead, and hell catches the fallen souls. Heaven to God, hell to me.

A.D. 2012, Qingshan Town, Yungang City.

A rescue operation that could be called the Battle of Man and Ghost was coming to an end. The operation was supervised by the ministry and directly commanded by the provincial department. The Yungang Public Security Bureau and the Yungang City Public Security Bureau of Qinzhou cooperated closely and the Yungang City Armed Police Detachment worked together to destroy the hiding place of the kidnappers gang in Qingpong Ridge in one fell swoop. This evil organization that had committed crimes across several provinces and abducted women and children for more than a decade, and illegally harvested and sold organs, was completely destroyed.

In the so-called Dragon Palace of Ren Qiushi , the kidnapper gang's so-called Dragon Head, the investigators found a large amount of shocking evidence. Include accounts of the sale of organs and tissues, dozens of young women victims of coercion, hundreds of disabled begging children, female placentas used to make health medicines, and even frozen preterm fetuses. Hundreds of kilograms of ice, drugs and illegally held guns were also seized.

The results of this operation were remarkable. As many as 212 people were arrested, large amounts of evidence were seized, more than 200 women and children were rescued, and as many as 1,116 victims were verified as missing and dead. As the initiator of this investigation, Dai Xiaolou , the captain of Qinzhou Municipal Bureau of Criminal Police, was both excited and heavy-hearted at this moment.

Ren Qiushi , the leader of the kidnapping gang, had yet to be captured, and the young undercover agent he had planted inside the kidnapping gang had also lost contact with him. Dai Xiaolou knew that as the most important person to solve the case, the young man had contributed greatly to the investigation of the case.

Dai Xiaolou 's heart was filled with worry, and he silently prayed that the young man would not be surprised. He was only twenty-one years old, and he was only a freshman at the police academy!

… … … …

Early in the morning, forty miles west of Qingpine Ridge, a middle-aged man buried his head and ran wildly. He was in a sorry state and was already exhausted. A dozen meters behind him, a young man was also running out of breath. His head was injured, fresh blood left a bloody mark on his handsome face, and the collar of his white shirt had been dyed red. In addition, there was a gunshot wound on his left arm, his entire arm bathed in blood.

"It's only a few thousand yuan a month. What are you going to do with your life!"

The middle-aged man couldn't run anymore. He turned around and staggered. His eyes were filled with viciousness as he stared fixedly at the young man chasing after him.

" Ren Qiushi , you're wrong. This daddy doesn't even have a few thousand yuan a month."

The young man's footsteps were obviously lighter than Ren Qiushi 's. The gunshot wound on his left arm was bleeding all the time. In addition, the rugged and unfamiliar road slowed his footsteps. Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn't have chased after him all night long.

"Then why did you come here? Gu, tell me with your conscience, how has this daddy treated you since you joined the gang?"

The middle-aged man was Ren Qiushi , the leader of the monstrous kidnapping gang. Facing his most valued subordinates, he still had fantasies of escaping and tried to use his past favors to move them.

" Ren Qiushi , stop talking nonsense. Aren't you known as the Southeast Pig Iron Buddha? I'm injured now, so I'm not necessarily your opponent. As long as you let me down, I'll naturally be able to fly high in the sky." The young man remained unmoved and continued to approach, "From last night until now, it has been roughly 40 miles of mountain road. It is truly rare for someone your age to run. If you, a drunkard, did not eat so many placental nascent souls, how could you obtain such good physical strength?"

Ren Qiushi gritted her teeth in hatred and laughed angrily, "The Dragon Palace that I've run for 23 years was destroyed by a little bastard like you. Now that you've reached this stage, you still refuse to let me go. Do you really think that I'm made of mud?" As he spoke, he clenched his fists and rushed towards the young man with all his strength.

At this moment, the sky was filled with lead clouds. In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck them. A dazzling light shone on their faces. Ren Qiushi 's blood poured into their pupils, and the young man's expression was cold and stern. A torrential rain poured down on the two of them. The young man was still as quiet as a virgin in the first half of a second, but suddenly moved like a rabbit in the second half, swinging his right arm towards Ren Qiushi 's fist!

The two fists collided with each other, producing a crisp sound of bones shattering. The young man's body suddenly stopped and his arm weakly lowered. Ren Qiushi took two steps back, but a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Little bastard, your left hand is injured, and the bones in your right hand are broken again. What are you going to fight me for now?"

Even though his physical strength had reached the critical point, his heart was beating like a drum, and his vision was blurred, the old devil was still relying on his will to survive.

"Your hands are two doors. You hit me with your feet. Ren Qiushi , did you knock me down?" The young man's cold expression did not change at all. His cold gaze seemed to be able to see through his opponent's reality. "You are too drunk and can't recover from eating immortal pills. Rather than bluffing, it's better to sit down and rest for a moment. Be careful of exhausting yourself to death."

"Little bastard, you're ruthless. You're right. I'm going to be forced to death by you. Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I let out a sigh of relief and let you off?"

At this moment, Ren Qiushi 's muscles and flesh were exhausted to the limit, and his internal organs were functioning to the limit. He relied on a single breath to force his heart to supply blood. Once he let go of this Dantian Qi, this fellow would collapse in an instant, and he wouldn't be able to recover for a year and a half. However, he knew very well that once he was caught, there was no way he would have another year or half to recover from his injuries.

Heavy rain fell on their bodies, and the rain quickly dissipated due to the temperature of their bodies. The young man stood proudly, breathing slowly and steadily. Ren Qiushi bent her body, leaving only her breathing. However, the young man's hands were severely injured. Although Ren Qiushi had exhausted all of her energy and spirit, she still had the ability to make a final attack.

"It's no different for you to die here than to die at our hands, but it's very different for your son."

The young man suddenly said this, smashing into Ren Qiushi 's heart like a muffled hammer. He said in a somewhat panicked and unwilling tone, "He doesn't know the slightest bit about what I did. He never participated. What can you do to him?"

"He must have spent the black money you earned, right?" The young man looked at him coldly. "The money is stained with dirty blood. He's not clean anymore."

"What are you doing?" Ren Qiushi 's breathing became even more chaotic as she roared in despair, "Don't forget, you are a policeman."

"You should know that I'm a very special policeman." The young man's lips curled into a cold smile. "How about letting him get addicted to drugs first? Don't you often use this method to test undercover trainers to teach women?"

"Yes, you're right. If you weren't so special, I wouldn't have trusted you so much and wouldn't have been like this." Ren Qiushi angrily scolded her mother, "Drugs are more fierce than me. Playing with women is better than me. The Jianghu incision is even more slippery than me. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been tricked by you."

"So you know very well that I'm not just saying it." The young man took a step back and said, "What choice do you have to make?"

"Gu, if you break your promise and play tricks on me, I will not let you off when I turn into a ghost." Ren Qiushi 's expression suddenly relaxed as she almost finished her sentence with a roar. Her eyes instantly dissipated and she fell into the mud.

The young man dragged his heavy steps in front of him. His legs went soft and he sat down on his butt. He endured the pain in his arm and managed to pull out a handcuff from his body. He cuffed Ren Qiushi 's right hand and left foot respectively. It turned out that his physical condition wasn't much better than Ren Qiushi 's. Staring at Ren Qiushi 's remorseful and desperate gaze, the corner of her lips curled into a smile, "Isn't it a bit unwilling?"

Ren Qiushi nodded helplessly, "If I had attacked earlier, I would have had a chance to die with you. Now that it's too late to say anything, I just want to know why there is a police officer like you. Where did you come from?"

The young man looked up at the sky and burst into laughter. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears on his face, but the laughter was like a golden splitting stone. "I came from hell to the mortal world to show people like you a bright way to go there!"
