"Yes, Brother Kuang." One of the henchmen stepped forward and reached out to take Li Zhen's gun.
Just then, a soft "poof" sound came from outside the door—the sound of a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer.
Immediately afterwards, the arm of the henchman who was about to shoot Li Zhen exploded into a bloody mess.
The henchman stared in disbelief at his missing arm, then let out a hysterical scream.
"Police are here..." someone shouted, and chaos erupted inside as everyone scattered and scrambled for cover.
However, the lights outside the door came on, and then several streaks of light shot over from mid-air—these were rockets loaded on an armed helicopter.
Boom... A violent explosion rang out, several figures were blown away, and the thugs in the center of the rocket were instantly killed.
The three armed helicopters deployed were Z-19s from the military, each carrying 16 missiles, providing a very wide range of firepower.
There were quite a few people gathered here today, and Ma Jinguo had made ample preparations for this transaction, even bringing in two 60mm rocket launchers from overseas. As soon as the battle began, two of his underlings grabbed rocket launchers and fired them into the sky.
However, the Gatling gun on the attack helicopter flashed blue, and amidst the dense gunfire, the two henchmen were riddled with holes.
Several rockets came flying, causing chaos and casualties. Then several tanks rolled in. Under the heavy firepower, these underlings had almost no power to resist.
They scattered and fled in all directions, not even caring about the guns in their hasty escape.
"Dad...Dad, wake up!" Ma Chenglong cried hysterically as he grabbed Ma Jinguo's body.
In one wave of attacks, Ma Jinguo was hit by a stray bullet and collapsed to the ground. His subordinates were either killed or fled. Even though they had weapons, they had no choice but to run away in the face of overwhelming firepower.
"Let's go." Ye Xingchen climbed up from a pile of rubble, saw Ma Chenglong, and on a whim, he pulled the guy up.
"My dad! Save my dad!" Ma Chenglong roared.
Ye Xingchen knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, then dragged him away.
This guy still has value. Destroying a drug den is nothing. The most important thing is to find out who is behind it. As long as Huang Tai doesn't show up, everything is just empty talk.
A barrage of aerial fire followed, then tanks and armored vehicles drove up, and then infantry stepped forward. A group of energetic young men carrying rifles pounced on the fleeing youths and pinned them to the ground.
The two men behind him immediately pounced on them, smashing them down with the butts of their rifles before handcuffing them.
In the chaos, Uncle Qiang grabbed Ye Xingchen, who was carrying Ma Chenglong, and said, "Come with me."
Ye Xingchen had a sudden thought: this guy has a secret passage. He quickly followed Uncle Qiang out.
Behind the warehouse, there was indeed a secret passage in a hidden cave. The group entered the passage and fled in a panic.
Halfway through the run, Uncle Qiang was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
Ye Xingchen put Ma Chenglong down with his backhand. This kid is heavy, let him rest for a bit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put it down, Uncle Qiang pointed a gun at Ye Xingchen's head.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xingchen stared at Uncle Qiang. Damn it, these guys are bastards. He saved their boss, and now this guy is pointing a gun at him.
"I'm grateful that you saved Young Master Ma." Uncle Qiang struggled to his feet and said through gritted teeth, "But I must get rid of you because your origins are unknown."
"How am I of unknown origin?" Ye Xingchen looked bewildered. Liu Kun's influence was no longer effective in Nanshi.
"Heh, because there are too many coincidences and too many accidents. Although I have no evidence, I believe that tonight's events are definitely related to you," Uncle Qiang said through gritted teeth.
"Why don't you ask Li Zhen why he's stalling for time?" Ye Xingchen lit a cigarette. "If anyone should be suspected, it should be him. What's with you pointing a gun at me?"
“Li Zhen’s targeting of you is indeed a personal grudge. I know the Liang family well enough that Li Zhen couldn’t possibly be a member of the police.” Uncle Qiang said through gritted teeth, “Tonight, the military was mobilized and the police were cleaning up the mess. Our people planted in the bureau didn’t get any prior warning. There must be a mole inside.”
“I know everyone except you, so the mole can only be you.”
"With your IQ, it's a waste for you to do this." Ye Xingchen shook his head, sighed, and said, "Why do you have to do this? You could start your own business, be a boss, or at least reach a senior management level in a company. Why do you have to do something that could cost you your life?"
"Hahaha, I'm a northerner, I own a company." Uncle Qiang's face gradually turned ferocious: "I contracted municipal projects, and I put all my savings into them, but my project payments have been delayed again and again."
“My wife ran away, and my son was critically ill and needed money. He was lying in the operating room waiting for money to save his life. I went to ask for money, but I didn’t get a single penny… In the end, my son died on the operating table.”
"Was I wrong? What did I do wrong? My biggest mistake was trying to make money off them!" Uncle Qiang roared hysterically.
Ye Xingchen looked at Uncle Qiang with a hint of pity in her eyes.
If he hadn't been forced into this situation, he might have been a good boss, but there's no such thing as a regret in this world.
"I deeply sympathize with what you've been through," Ye Xingchen sighed. "But there's nothing I can do; it's all fate."
"Don't give me that nonsense. Who are you? What's your purpose?" Uncle Qiang tightened his grip, bringing the gun closer to Ye Xingchen.
“I’m not a policeman, and my target isn’t the Ma family,” Ye Xingchen said. “You should have been more patient, really. If you had been more patient, I might have spared your life. But you insisted on exposing yourself, so I have to kill you.”
"Hehe..." Uncle Qiang laughed, then suddenly turned the gun around and pointed it at his temple.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xingchen was stunned. Uncle Qiang's series of actions had left him completely bewildered.
“My parents are gone, I have no brothers, no relatives, my only son… I watched him die on the operating table.” Uncle Qiang’s smile was somewhat tragic: “Now that the Ma family has arrived, I don’t expect to make a comeback, so… I have nothing to miss now.”
"I need your help with something." Uncle Qiang stared at Ye Xingchen.
"Go on," Ye Xingchen said, feeling a pang of pity for the middle-aged man in front of her.
The other party wasn't a bad person, but they were forced onto this path.
"Keeping Ma means losing a life," Uncle Qiang said.
Ye Xingchen never expected that this person, who was determined to die, would ask him for this very thing, which puzzled him: "Why?"
