Chapter 18 Siege



The group soon arrived at the entrance of the villa area across the street.

There were eight people in total: four from Lu Ning and four from the sheriff.

Security in the villa area was quite strict, but Lu Ning and his group had already obtained permission to visit one of the households in the villa area, so they entered smoothly.

The entire villa area covers a large area with a low residential density and a high greening rate. The roads winding through the woods make it feel like a forest park.

This made Wang Qiwen curl his lip: "Those rich people are really living it up. Land in the base city is so valuable, yet they managed to get such a large plot of land to build a villa district. How many people can live in this? There are probably countless people outside who don't even have a place to live."

The sheriff and others remained silent.

They are different from the Fog Bureau's action team. The Fog Bureau is full of Awakened Ones with high status, while the Security Bureau is full of ordinary people. If they accidentally say the wrong thing, they may lose their jobs.

Those who can live in such a place are naturally either rich or noble.

Wei Xuan said, "Alright, that's enough. The mission is important. Besides, it won't look good if someone hears us."

Wang Qiwen curled his lip, dismissively saying, "At this hour, who would even listen..."

He fell silent before he could finish speaking.

Two figures were walking towards us from the road ahead.

Upon approaching, Lu Ning saw that they were two women.

Both women were exquisitely made up and had beautiful and charming appearances.

They saw Lu Ning and his group, their eyes showing a hint of surprise. They glanced at them a few more times before cautiously walking past them.

Nick's eyes were still following the two beautiful women. Only after they turned the corner and disappeared from sight did he turn back and say with certainty, "If you ask me, these two must be the mistresses of some rich man here."

The young man who had been silent all along also showed envy: "It's so good to be rich."

The woman next to me said irritably, "Are you even from the Public Security Bureau? Can't you have any lofty ideals?!"

"What's wrong with the people from the Public Security Bureau? They're not saints. Can't they have normal human thoughts? Who doesn't want to live a good life?" Wang Qiwen retorted.

Nick and the other young man nodded in agreement.

Wei Xuan tried to smooth things over again: "Let's go, let's not cause any more trouble."

They finally stopped talking.

As they approached their target location, Nick and his group separated from Lu Ning and his group.

They will lie in ambush around the villa via forest trails to prevent anyone from escaping.

The remaining four, including Lu Ning, walked quietly, their footsteps clearly audible in the darkness.

As they turned a corner, they soon saw the villa they were looking for.

This villa is the king of the villas in the villa area. It has four floors, a large area, a small garden, and is surrounded by a wall.

Through the gaps in the wall in the dim light, Lu Ning could see figures moving around in the small garden.

They immediately squatted down and looked at each other.

Wei Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Proceed according to plan?"

Wang Qiwen nodded: "Don't you guys hold us back, and don't get caught."

Qiu Yuelin trembled slightly with nervousness, and was almost speechless.

Seeing Qiu Yuelin's appearance, Wei Xuan said, "Xiaolin, why don't you wait for us outside? Just treat it as a mission like the police."

Wang Qiwen frowned slightly, but did not refute, and said firmly, "I have no objection. After all, Xiaolin is only seventeen years old, still so young."

Qiu Yuelin shook her head firmly, took a deep breath, and said, "No need, I have to do a mission! I'm also a member of the action team!"

Seeing Qiu Yuelin say this, Wei Xuan didn't continue to persuade her.

Let's take action!

The four separated and approached the villa estate from the forest.

Lu Ning's footsteps were light and his movements were swift; he quickly arrived at the foot of the wall.

He crouched slightly, scanned the inside of the wall through the gaps, and after confirming that no one was around, he pushed off with his hands and smoothly vaulted over the more than two-meter-high wall, landing silently on the grass in the garden.

He then immediately hid behind a rock formation.

Just as he hid behind the rock, two men in suits emerged from the corner and walked along the path, chatting and laughing as they patrolled.

"I heard that the boss has recently acquired some good stuff again."

"What good stuff?"

"I don't know, but I heard it's the kind of stuff that makes you feel really good, better than anything you've ever had before."

"Really? Holy crap, can I try it?"

"Are you dreaming? I heard this stuff is very expensive and hard to get. The boss only managed to get a little bit, so he's definitely planning to sell it for a good price. We should just forget about it."

"Sigh...what a pity."

They quickly disappeared from Lu Ning's sight.

Lu Ning's gaze swept across the area and finally landed on a balcony on the second floor.

He ran out from behind the rockery, took two quick steps, and jumped more than three meters high. He then used his hands to support himself on the balcony railing and flipped over.

The entire process was smooth and silent.

Just as he was about to open the balcony door and go inside, he suddenly heard a gunshot from across the street.

Then came a cacophony of shouts and yells.

This is a signal; someone has been discovered.

Lu Ning paused for a moment, then took out two pistols from their holsters, leaped back, and returned to the first floor from the second-floor balcony.

Holding two guns, he strode towards the direction from which the gunfire had come.

At that moment, a barrage of gunfire erupted from that direction, interspersed with what sounded like screams.

Lu Ning's swaggering movements quickly attracted the attention of the other guards who rushed over.

The bodyguard in the suit paused for a moment when he saw Lu Ning, who was wearing a trench coat, then immediately raised his gun at Lu Ning and shouted, "Who are you?!"
