"So... Chen Tianlong, where are you going?" Zhang Yufei didn’t quite understand Chen Tianlong’s words and asked.
Chen Tianlong’s lips curled into a wicked smile, as if he could foresee what was about to happen.
"Behind? You mean..."
Chen Tianlong made a gesture for silence and then whispered, "Be cautious, walls have ears. Just do as I say later."
Zhang Yufei nodded, took out a dark pistol from her small bag, checked the bullets, and headed to the third floor.
Chen Tianlong took advantage of the moment when the landlady went into the room and slipped outside.
He observed for a while, then stepped forward and headed towards the back of the inn, since all the windows and balconies were on this side, and with Zhang Yufei watching the front with a gun, this seemed to be the only way.
Arriving at the back of the building, Chen Tianlong found a somewhat hidden spot, then lit a cigarette and patiently waited.
On the third floor, Zhang Yufei began moving forward slowly with her gun.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a commotion in a room; it was clearly a phone ringing. Zhang Yufei quickly located room 306, hurriedly kicked the door open, and stormed inside with her gun raised.
But in the next moment, she was dumbfounded.
She saw a woman holding a phone, answering a call, and then, upon seeing someone suddenly kick the door open, was terrified.
"You... what do you want?"
No matter how ignorant the girl was, she knew Zhang Yufei was holding a gun in her hand and thought it might be a robbery. She was so scared that she quickly clasped her hands over her head, dropping the phone on the floor.
"Sorry, wrong door, pardon the intrusion!"
Zhang Yufei smiled wryly for a moment, knowing this wasn’t the time for apologies, and quickly exited the room, closing the door.
However, as she stepped out again, she felt something was off, because earlier she saw two figures squeezing into another room at the same time. Although she couldn’t see clearly, it seemed suspicious.
Zhang Yufei didn’t linger, hurried to the door of the suspicious room. This time, she didn’t kick the door open; after all, if she made another mistake, she’d embarrass herself as an officer.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Zhang Yufei gently knocked on the door, not too hurriedly.
A man’s voice came from inside, sounding rather lazy.
But Zhang Yufei wasn’t a fool; she wouldn’t judge the situation inside solely based on this response. Instead, she pressed her ear against the door.
At this moment, there was indeed movement inside the room. Judging from the footsteps, there were at least three people, and the person speaking was apparently far from the door, while someone was standing near the door.
If Zhang Yufei guessed correctly, this person was certainly waiting to ambush her.
However, Zhang Yufei coldly chuckled, quite sure that Hao Jian was likely inside.
Zhang Yufei directly announced.
"Oh, hold on, I’m getting dressed, please wait a moment!"
As soon as the person inside finished speaking, Zhang Yufei clearly heard a chaotic noise in the room; apparently, they were a bit panicked.
Upon saying that, Zhang Yufei kicked the door open and charged in with her gun raised.
Sure enough, just as she rushed to the corner of the room, a man in black holding a dagger suddenly came out. He then frantically stabbed at Zhang Yufei.
Even though Zhang Yufei was quite skilled, had she not been, she might have ended up with a few holes from the guy. Updates are released by novel⦿fire.net
After quickly dodging, Zhang Yufei fired two shots forward, and the criminal evidently ducked away; she seized the opportunity to storm inside.
At this moment, another person inside suddenly fired two shots in Zhang Yufei’s direction, frightening her into quickly retreating.
The previous criminal who was using a dagger abandoned the attack and, together with the person pretending to sleep on the bed, ran to the window.
They seemed to be prepared, retrieving a bundle of rope from under the bed, tying it to the window, and sliding down swiftly.
All that was left was the criminal holding a handgun, still covering them from above.
Zhang Yufei felt a bit frustrated; the person’s marksmanship was obviously good. Every time she leaned out, he would shoot at her, making it difficult to handle.
A short while later, Zhang Yufei suddenly noticed no more shooting from that side, quickly peeking out to see the man climbing onto the window sill.
"Damn, trying to escape? No way!"
Zhang Yufei fired at the man, but unfortunately missed, and he quickly slid down. She hurried over to the window, preparing to shoot downwards, only to find Chen Tianlong already standing in the alley.
"Everyone, leave Hao Jian behind, and I’ll ensure the rest of you are unharmed." Chen Tianlong inserted his left hand into his pocket, holding a cigarette in his right hand, looking relaxed and showing no sign of tension.
In front of him stood two men in black, as well as Hao Jian.
"Damn it, don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense, kill him for me." Hao Jian was now a desperado and wouldn’t let Chen Tianlong leave, immediately giving the order.
Among the two men in black, one was Zhou Qianghan, and the other was an expert from the Celestial Wolf Gang holding a gun. Dao’s subordinate who clearly had died; they were all eager to tear Chen Tianlong to pieces.
Seeing Chen Tianlong now, the subordinate raised his gun towards Chen Tianlong, ready to shoot.
"I hate it when people point guns at me."
Chen Tianlong said coldly, throwing his cigarette butt aside, and three silver needles flew from his hands.
Before the man with the gun had any chance to react, he felt everything go black and fainted.
Zhou Qianghan furrowed his brows, quickly trying to grab that handgun.
At this moment, gunshots rang from upstairs; Zhou Qianghan abruptly looked up to find Zhang Yufei firing at him. With no other option, he had to run with Hao Jian down an alley to the side.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong quickly chased after them.
Zhang Yufei also climbed down the rope from the window, hurriedly followed along.
Chen Tianlong didn’t expect this place to be a dead-end alley; he couldn’t understand why Hao Jian and the others still wanted to run there.
But as he got closer, he suddenly understood. On the high wall ahead, several people appeared, each holding machine guns, lying in ambush.
With the order from a black-clad man wearing sunglasses, a row of machine gunners fired at Chen Tianlong.
Having already sensed it, Chen Tianlong dodged to the side with a Ghost Shadow Flash maneuver, then quickly rolled over and threw three darts.
Due to the haste, the darts struck only one of them, while four others remained providing cover, leaving him unable to peek out.
Shortly after, Zhang Yufei pursued, fired two shots forward, but faced a burst of machine-gun fire, quickly taking cover around a corner while using her peripheral vision to observe ahead.
By now, Hao Jian had already been pulled over the high wall by someone with a rope, leaving Chen Tianlong frustrated that he had escaped again.
