Upon hearing Feng Shinian's words, Nong Zhenghao nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, leave this person to me!"

Feng Shinian glanced around, then stood up. Several team members who were waiting nearby also stood up, and the group quickly went up the stairs.

The second floor of the casino was reserved for VIPs, all of whom were wealthy and influential gamblers. Several guards stood watch at the stairwell. When they saw Jiang Weicheng come up, one of the guards quickly greeted him with a smile: "Captain Jiang, you're on a winning streak today, ready to go big?"

Jiang Weicheng nodded in acknowledgment, casually replied to the guards a few words, and then walked into the gambling hall. He glanced back and saw that Feng Shinian and the others had also come up, but were stopped by the guards.

Feng Shinian and his group belonged to the First Division and did not often operate in the western part of Shanghai, so they were somewhat unfamiliar to the guards. The guards here did not recognize them and tried to stop them until Feng Shinian and his group took out their identification, at which point they were allowed to pass.

However, in just a short while, Jiang Weicheng had disappeared from the gambling hall. Feng Shinian and his companions searched the gambling hall but could not find him. They quickly asked several waiters. One of the waiters had a good memory and remembered Jiang Weicheng. He pointed in a direction, and Feng Shinian and the others hurriedly chased after him, arriving at a back door.

This is the emergency back door of the second-floor casino, set up in case of emergencies. Without saying a word, Feng Shinian stepped forward and kicked it open. Several people quickly ran down an iron ladder and saw a figure flash in front of them.

"Chase!"

Feng Shinian's spirits lifted. Luckily, he reacted in time, otherwise Jiang Weicheng would have gotten away.

This is the back entrance of the Universal Casino. Further ahead is a narrow street that connects to several alleyways, and the surrounding terrain is quite complex.

Unlike other urban areas, the terrain of western Shanghai is not well-developed and standardized. It consists mostly of narrow working-class areas and shantytowns, making it easy for people familiar with the area to escape.

Jiang Weicheng had scouted the surrounding terrain beforehand because he frequented the Wanguo Casino. This was the reason he specifically chose to escape from the Wanguo Casino. However, he did not expect that the people tracking him would act so quickly. As soon as he began to leave, they abandoned the surveillance and launched a capture operation. He had been tailed.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Jiang Weicheng crossed the street and entered an alley. The sound of footsteps behind him was loud and clear, indicating that his pursuers were following closely and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.

Feng Shinian and several team members followed closely behind. He knew the terrain was complex and was afraid of losing track of the enemy if he wasn't careful, so he chased after them with all his might. Soon they came to a fork in the road. He stopped and pointed to another road, ordering, "Two people go this way, and the two of you follow me!"

The two team members nodded and accepted the order, and followed the road. Feng Shinian led two other team members to continue the pursuit, but the alley ahead became narrower and narrower, and there were no pedestrians around. It was obviously an extremely remote path.

After chasing for a while, Jiang Weicheng's figure came into view again. Feng Shinian was overjoyed, realizing that he had been following the right direction. Just then, he saw Jiang Weicheng dart into a corner.

Feng Shinian knew that Jiang Weicheng had no way out and was preparing to put up a last-ditch resistance. He immediately felt relieved. He knew that this was western Shanghai, the territory of the 76th Gang, and the surrounding area was full of Green Gang members who were affiliated with the 76th Gang. As long as he didn't let the other party break free and kept him hooked, this man would definitely have a hard time escaping.

Just as he was full of confidence and excitement, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn't know when, but the footsteps behind him had disappeared. He quickly stopped and turned around to look. The two teammates who had been following closely behind him had disappeared without him noticing.

Feng Shinian was immediately alarmed. If someone helped him, he was confident he could capture Jiang Weicheng. But alone, he really didn't dare to pursue him any further. If they met on a narrow path and the other party was driven to the brink of desperation and fought for his life, he might not be able to handle him.

He had no idea where his teammates had gone or when they would return, and he was filled with anxiety. He dared not make any more rash moves, and with his gun in hand, he moved forward little by little.

Finally reaching the corner, Feng Shinian performed a standard forward roll, his tactical movements were skilled, and he darted around the corner. He then drew his gun and aimed, but there was no one in front of him.

Just as he was about to turn around, a gust of wind struck, causing a sharp pain in his wrist. The Browning in his hand was knocked to the ground with a "thud," followed by a heavy punch to his face. His mind went blank, and he fell to the ground.

Having succeeded in his surprise attack, Jiang Weicheng stepped forward, bent down, and with a bend of his right arm, tightly strangled Feng Shinian, who had just struggled to stand up. He also grabbed him with his left hand, preparing to form a strangulation.

However, Feng Shinian was a veteran agent from the intelligence department. Even though he was getting older, his skills were no less than Jiang Weicheng's. Taking advantage of the slight gap before Jiang Weicheng could exert his strength, he suddenly shrank his body, arched his back, and exerted his strength. With a back-hook move, he threw Jiang Weicheng off his back and onto the ground.

Jiang Weicheng felt an unbearable pain in his back, as if his bones had been shattered. But he still endured the pain and reacted very quickly. He grabbed Feng Shinian and pulled him into his arms. At the same time, he leaned against the ground, curled up his legs, and kicked outwards towards Feng Shinian's abdomen.

Feng Shinian had not expected Jiang Weicheng to be so strong in combat. Jiang Weicheng was thrown to the ground by Feng Shinian, but he seemed unaware and instead engaged in close combat. Before Feng Shinian could react, he felt a wound in his abdomen, his body was thrown high into the air, and then crashed heavily to the ground.

The two fighters moved very quickly, each knocking the other down as soon as they made contact. They were both well-trained special agents, and their tactical movements were standard, crisp, and clean, without any fancy moves.
