Chapter 59 They arrested people and sat facing each other (revised)

Gu Yiliu and his group, along with the forestry bureau police, found a secluded spot in the tomb that Wang Xiaolong and his two companions had explored and waited for them to come to their doom. After a thrilling struggle, they finally caught Xiang Haifeng and his two accomplices.

Tomb raiders are daring, and even if they stake out the location beforehand, it is still very difficult to catch them because Xiang Haifeng and his two companions all have guns.

Upon spotting them, Wang Xiaolong raised his hand and fired several shots.

They were suddenly put on the defensive. They were inside the tomb, while Wang Xiaolong, Xiang Haifeng, and the other two were outside, ready to retreat at any time. But if they made a move, the other side would fire a shot.

Gu Yiliu and his group also had guns, but their ammunition was limited, whereas Xiang Haifeng and his two companions had an inexhaustible supply of bullets.

"Kill them, and we'll be safe!"

Gu Yiliu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelids twitched wildly. She looked at the others; there were ten of them lying in wait in the tomb. They had come expecting the three to have other methods, so they brought ten people with only three guns, each with ten bullets, and even bulletproof shields. However, they were too heavy and required two people to use them together.

"Team Leader Tang, I have an idea."

Tang Shishen looked at her, signaling her to speak.

“I’ll go out and draw their attention,” Gu Yiliu said. She could take the shield and go out, then the firepower would be focused on her alone, and they could take on all three of them.

"No way," Tang Shishen couldn't agree. "If anything happens to you, Han Yi will definitely hate me. Don't you two mess with me!" Han Yi has been busy with cases every day lately, and Gu Yiliu always comes to the station when he's not there. Tang Shishen felt something was off about the two of them.

In this operation, Han Yi led a team to intercept the sold goods, while Gu Yiliu, who was more familiar with the tomb, was to bring them to the tomb to stake out the location. So, although they were acting together, they were actually two separate teams.

He had to bring each of his teammates back safely and intact.

“He won’t, he knows my situation,” Gu Yiliu didn’t say much else, but analyzed with Tang Shishen, “Captain Tang, they’re outside, they don’t want us to catch them, they’ll definitely run away, you’ll see.”

"Of the three of them, either one of them will sacrifice himself to cover our retreat and be captured by us, or they have a big trump card up their sleeve and throw a grenade at us when they're about to escape. If all three of them escape together then, we'll be in serious trouble."

Tang Shishen's expression turned grave after hearing this. He knew that Gu Yilu's analysis was highly likely to be true. Looking at the dimly lit tomb, with gunfire continuing, they could only roughly guess the location of Wang Xiaolong and his two companions from the sound of the gunfire. Meanwhile, Wang Xiaolong and his companions were outside, with less restricted visibility, which was advantageous to them. They were easily caught in a trap.

Therefore, regardless of the dangers of Gu Yiliu acting alone, they must find a breakthrough.

"I'll send everyone else out, you stay here." There's no need for women to work so hard in the first place.

“I’m going too,” Gu Yiliu said, flipping up a corner of his police uniform to reveal the bulletproof vest he was wearing underneath. “I have this, and I also have a shield, so bullets can’t hurt me.”

Tang Shishen didn't hesitate for long before agreeing to Gu Yiliu's participation. He felt he couldn't underestimate Gu Yiliu. Moreover, the forestry bureau police had expressed their willingness to send two people, and with Gu Yiliu joining them, they wanted to act quickly so the three of them could work together to encircle and surround Wang Xiaolong and his two companions.

Since the suspect struck first, it's enough to leave one alive; the remaining two can be killed instantly.

This is a safety net strategy. The optimal strategy is for all three of them to be barely alive.

The three were equipped with one gun, which Gu Yiliu carried. She had originally planned to use the shield to block bullets, but she was worried that the police officers traveling with her wouldn't be able to shoot accurately, so the task of firing the gun fell to her. However, she still modified the shield with her supernatural abilities.

Whether it was their advance column or Tang Shishen's covering column, the shots had only one target: to hit their hands so they couldn't hold their guns.

Gu Yilu's target was Wang Xiaolong, because he fought the hardest. To catch the thief, you must first catch the leader. Who knows if he might give up and fight back?

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Wang, I see Wang Xiaolong, he's right to our right. I'm going to fight him. Just go straight to the right." Gu Yiliu, wearing contact lenses, spotted the three men at a glance.

Two veteran police officers, Lao Xu and Lao Wang, were working with her. They were veterans of the war, so when they heard that Gu Yiliu was going to beat up Wang Xiaolong, they didn't suspect anything and started cooperating without saying much.

Sure enough, after taking a few steps, a "thump thump thump" sound came from the shield, with a fast and frequent frequency.

"Help me break this shield! Quickly!"

From the shallow underground cemetery came a man's furious voice.

Gu Yiliu, Lao Xu, and Lao Wang exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and quickened their pace. Gu Yiliu occasionally raised his gun and fired.

The first bullet was fired, but Wang Xiaolong dodged it.

The second one went slightly off target. The third one almost hit his hand, but Wang Xiaolong dodged it again.

Gu Yiliu took a deep breath, looking at the gun in his hand with a determined look in his eyes. The fourth bullet was crucial; there was no room for error.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was feeling remorseful, Wang Xiaolong, who was opposite her, had narrowly escaped death three times, and his hand holding the gun was already trembling.

Three times, just a hair's breadth away from hitting.

Wang Xiaolong gritted his teeth, thinking he might as well just slip away. In the darkness, his calculating gaze swept over the other two.

There's a high chance he'll slip away alone.

Having made up his mind, Wang Xiaolong reached into his gun, got up and left without looking back.

"Brother Wang!"

Gu Yiliu's eyes flickered slightly; it was Xiang Haifeng's voice.

She took a few steps back, to a safe distance where she wouldn't be harmed by stray bullets. Looking ahead, she could only see Wang Xiaolong from the shoulders up, and Xiang Haifeng seemed to be talking to him.

Gu Yiliu raised his hand, and a bullet shot out, hitting Wang Xiaolong in the right shoulder. As Wang Xiaolong cried out in pain, Gu Yiliu quickly fired another shot.

This hit him squarely on the left shoulder.

Gu Yiliu slightly shifted his hand and fired another shot.

"ah!"

Xiang Haifeng's voice.

The gunfire had stopped by then. From the moment Wang Xiaolong and Xiang Haifeng were injured until the gunfire ceased, only a few seconds had passed.

There were only three people in total, two of whom were already injured, and the rest were putting up a last-ditch effort.

Gu Yiliu put down his gun with satisfaction.

Wang Xiaolong and the other two were handcuffed and taken back for interrogation.

When the archaeologists arrived, the identity of the tomb's occupant was beyond Gu Yilu's expectations. Based on the excavated burial objects, the archaeologists initially determined that the tomb's occupant was likely a minor feudal lord during his lifetime. The tomb was quite large, and over the years, only about 40 burial objects remained.

Fifteen burial artifacts were stolen by Wang Xiaolong and his two accomplices, including a large screen, which was also recovered. Fortunately, the transaction of the 15 burial artifacts was relatively recent, so all of them were recovered.

"Not bad!" Gu Yiliu smiled brightly at Han Yi, not only because she praised him for quickly recovering the burial objects, but also because Han Yi helped her get 5% positive feedback.

Han Yi was not involved in the interrogation, nor was it Gu Yiliu's responsibility. He then pulled Gu Yiliu away.

Gu Yiliu: "Where to?"

"go home."

Dissatisfied with her speed, Han Yi swept her up and placed her on the motorcycle, then sat close to her as he rode on.

As his back sank into the man's warm chest, Gu Yiliu still struggled a bit, "I want to sit in the back!"

"Why?" Han Yi asked her, resting his chin gently on her shoulder.

She sat in the front, but it didn't affect his driving. Her head didn't block his view.

"The wind is strong, it's biting my face." Gu Yiliu didn't want to suffer from the cold wind cutting his face.

Han Yi chuckled, "That's easy."

Gu Yiliu let out a soft cry as Han Yi lifted her up with one arm. In the blink of an eye, her vision blurred, and she was in a different direction.

She was still sitting at the front of the car, but now she was sitting face-to-face with Han Yi.

"That way you won't be cold."

As soon as I pressed the accelerator, the car shot forward.

The incident happened so suddenly that Gu Yiliu was so frightened that he immediately hugged Han Yi's neck.

"Slow down!" Gu Yiliu lifted her head from Han Yi's arms. She was furious. Han Yi insisted on making her sit in the front. She was such a big person, and sitting in the front like that made her bump into Han Yi every time he accelerated or decelerated, pressing tightly against him.

Han Yi was clearly satisfied. His gaze was still fixed ahead, but he tilted his head slightly and kissed her on the cheek. "Okay."

At this moment, the car suddenly slowed down again, and Gu Yi felt a noticeable weightlessness. Her tense body felt like it was about to fly out, but the next second she crashed hard into the man's warm embrace.

"Ah!" Gu Yiliu exclaimed, half of her face was numb, and she suspected that Han Yi did it on purpose.

"Hiss!"

A muffled groan came from above. Gu Yiliu raised his head, trying to pull away from Han Yi's embrace.

But a pair of large hands firmly pressed down on her lower back, and Han Yi's hoarse voice came from beside her ear, "Sit still and don't move."

Gu Yiliu was a very rebellious person. She moved slightly, but Han Yi held her tightly in his arms and locked her in place. She suddenly froze and didn't move.

"You..." Gu Yiliu didn't know what to say, "Drive faster!" She didn't want to lose face on the street!

"hold me."

Gu Yiliu hesitated for a moment. Even through several layers of fabric, she could feel the heat. She was afraid that Han Yi would react even more strongly.

But the next second, the car started to accelerate again.

The two men slammed together due to the vehicle's forward momentum, both letting out muffled groans.

The warmth made Gu Yiliu's face feel cozy, whether from embarrassment or genuine heat, he couldn't tell. Gu Yiliu closed his eyes, stretched out his hands, and hugged Han Yi's waist tightly.

"..."

Back at her rented apartment, Gu Yiliu quickly got out of the car and stepped out of Han Yi's embrace. Han Yi's reaction had been too much. She blushed slightly, realizing something; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself. But now that she was out of his arms, she should still be within control.

Han Yi slowly exhaled, noticing that Gu Yiliu hadn't moved and her face was still flushed.

Gu Yiliu looked at him, his eyes involuntarily falling on a certain spot.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to grow increasingly intimate and sweet.

Han Yi slowly gathered his breath. He had underestimated himself. He didn't dare to move and wanted to wait for Gu Yiliu to leave on his own, fearing that the more he moved, the less he could resolve the issue. But Gu Yiliu didn't leave after getting out of the car and kept watching him.

He felt his desire growing stronger under her gaze; his fiery heart couldn't calm down and clamored to get closer to her and be close to her.

With a single, swift movement, Gu Yiliu, who was still sitting in the car, felt a flash before her eyes, and Han Yi was right in front of her.

She could even feel the heat emanating from Han Yi, like lava; just getting close made her legs go weak.

She took a step back and looked up.

"Han Yi..."

The moment she moved, a magnified face appeared before her. Han Yi lowered his head, bit her lip, and swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking. ...
