Upon hearing this, Wang Qiwen immediately rubbed his hands together, eager to ask, "What is the assessment?"

Qiu Yuelin asked with some concern, "Old Qin, won't it be difficult?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry, it's not difficult at all. Considering that you are all still just rookies, this assessment will have you help the Public Security Bureau deal with a gang leader."

Wei Xuan became serious as soon as he heard about the mission.

He asked, "Is this gang leader an awakened one? Or has he become corrupted?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, according to intelligence, he's just an ordinary person."

"Huh? Ordinary people? Do we need to do this? What is the Public Security Bureau doing?" Wang Qiwen pouted in disappointment.

Wei Xuan glared at Wang Qiwen and said angrily, "Wang Qiwen, how dare you speak like that?"

Seeing that Wei Xuan was angry, Wang Qiwen pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Although this gang leader is just an ordinary person, he has many skilled men under his command and has also hoarded some weapons. In a head-on confrontation, the four of you first-level awakened individuals might not be able to defeat him."

Upon hearing that there was a considerable amount of weaponry, Wang Qiwen immediately stopped complaining.

After several days of shooting training, Wang Qiwen had come to understand the power of firearms.

"However, if you are careful and make use of your awakened abilities, assassinating a gang leader shouldn't be too difficult. How about it? Are you confident? If not, why don't you just go home and quit this line of work? After all, the dangers you will encounter in the future will be much greater than they are now."

“How could it not work?” Wang Qiwen said immediately.

Qiu Yuelin took a deep breath and said firmly, "I want to participate in the mission."

Wei Xuan also said, "Me too."

Lu Ning simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

"Alright, in that case, the mission is set. Colin will take you to communicate with the police department this evening. Now, prepare yourselves mentally. After all, gunfire is indiscriminate. Although you are all Awakened, you are still very weak and could still die."

Qin Feng put his hands behind his back, returned to his rocking chair, and continued reading the magazine.

Lu Ning walked to the side and continued to train. After a while, the booming sound of the Soul-Shaking Fist rang out rhythmically.

The remaining three, including Wei Xuan, exchanged glances and then began to train.

Even Wang Qiwen was no exception.

Time flew by, and soon it was six o'clock in the evening.

Lu Ning and the other three had dinner with Colin and Lin Xiao. After dinner, Colin stood up, adjusted his glasses, and smiled, "Alright, let's go."

Before leaving, Lin Xiao looked at the group seriously and said, "When you're on a mission, be sure to pay attention to safety and don't be reckless. If your life is in danger, retreat immediately. After all, you only have one life... Oh, except for you, Lu Ning. If things really get too difficult, you can cover our retreat, okay?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

Lin Xiao grinned: "I knew you were reliable! If you do a lot of work, you'll get a bigger bonus, you know?"

None of the three, including Wang Qiwen, spoke.

As the mission drew near, they all felt the pressure.

Colin led the four men away from the branch office and into the parking lot.

His vehicle was an SUV, which, compared to Lin Xiao's sports car, was as wild as a beast.

The car was spacious, with Qiu Yuelin sitting in the passenger seat and Lu Ning and two other men crammed into the back.

Colin started the car, and seeing the tense atmosphere, he smiled and said, "Xiaolin is the first girl to sit in my passenger seat."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuelin immediately tensed up and said somewhat flusteredly, "Ah? Then...then I'll take a taxi?"

Colin quickly reassured her, "It's okay, I wasn't complaining, I was just saying it casually. You all seem quite nervous?"

"Actually, there's no need to be too nervous. I've seen your shooting training, and it's all good. Besides, you're Awakened. Not to mention your awakened abilities, even your physical abilities surpass those of ordinary people. This time, we're not having you confront the other side head-on. As Awakened, assassinating an ordinary person isn't difficult. As long as you use your original strength and act carefully, there won't be any problems."

Wei Xuan was already in a better position, after all, he was originally a sheriff. He nodded and said, "We understand, thank you, deputy captain."

Colin's words eased the tension among the group somewhat.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

It was a residential house in a residential area that looked very ordinary.

After Colin knocked on the door, Lu Ning soon heard footsteps inside. The footsteps stopped at the door, and after a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face.

He greeted him with a smile, "Vice Captain Colin, you've arrived."

Wei Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Commander Bowen? I didn't expect it to be you."

Bowen looked at Wei Xuan and laughed, "Wei Xuan, you're quite the celebrity in our Public Security Bureau now! You've actually joined the Fog Bureau's action team, which has really made us proud! Keep up the good work!"

Wei Xuan quickly stood up straight and bowed: "Yes! Wei Xuan will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Colin smiled and said, "Let's go inside and talk about catching up."

Bowen nodded quickly: "Please come in, everyone."

The group filed into the room.

After entering the room, Lu Ning glanced around and noticed that the room was rather dimly lit.

Only a dim light was on in the living room, and a scruffy young man stood by the window.

The curtains were drawn, and he peered out through the gaps in them.

Two men and two women were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
