Hidden Assassin 216

Just a few seconds, boom boom boom boom boom boom boom sounds echoed in the room. Some hits the ground, some hits the broken bed frame and wood, some hit the enemy solidly. Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, the whole room felt like a sudden storm. The air contracted and expanded. Flower-Picking Great Thief Yujinxia kicked the man in gray clothes out, crashing into the wall on the other side. Countless wood chips and debris flew across the entire space. The glass window behind shattered into powder, splashing out.

As if a bomb exploded in the room, such supernatural power would probably make an ordinary person wonder for half a day. However, neither of the two in the room hesitated. Flower-Picking Great Thief Yujinxia pulled out two pistols, while Jia Ming directly took out a shotgun from under his gray robe. The two leaped out in different directions, pulling the trigger just three or four meters apart in mid-air.

Bang—

Countless wood chips and debris were still flying around the room due to the wind. On the walls on both sides, stones and debris exploded. Jia Ming’s body smashed through the window. Flower-Picking Great Thief Yujinxia also rolled out the door at the same time. Getting up from the ground, the two ran quickly in the same direction across the room. Bullets flew past the window and door, and large swathes of the room’s walls peeled off and splashed…

“Finally willing to show yourself!” The fire flickered, the stones flew, and Flower-Picking Great Thief Yujinxia laughed while firing.

…

…

Along with the gunfire still coming from afar, teams of police entered Sacred Heart Academy, with the main road leading to the school as the axis. They searched the surroundings. Under extremely strict guard, the rescued students left the teaching area. The injured were first transported by vehicles, followed by men and women, some pale-faced, some crying. Yan Huang Jue Xing (The Awakening of Yan and Huang, a name related to Chinese ancient legends and often used to symbolize a cultural or national awakening) seized the opportunity to rescue, which naturally also had some accidents or casualties. But supporting characters don’t have rights, so we won’t talk about it.

These mercenaries who rushed in, due to the explosion and the events before and after, a considerable number died at the hands of Jia Ming. At this time, some were still escaping. They were taking advantage of the complex terrain of Sacred Heart Academy to resist and prepare to disperse outside the school. The police and Yan Huang Jue Xing were working hard to prevent anyone from expanding the chaos to the city.

Outside the school, parents worried about their children’s safety were still waiting anxiously. Since there was still danger in the school, they could only wait here for their children to come out. Those with backgrounds brought a lot of bodyguards. Black society bosses like Liu Zheng called all the manpower they could mobilize. During this time, he also warmly greeted several people from the underworld who had had previous grievances – these people also had children sent to the school. Because of these people, there were now thousands of people scattered around the outside of Sacred Heart Academy in every possible escape route, some bodyguards even carrying guns. More were those who were just mixed-up in the black society, each carrying machetes and iron chains. Some even carried homemade shotguns. One by one, with fierce eyes, they hid in concealed locations, ready to kill any unknown figure coming out of the school. Because at this time, the entire Jiang Hai City’s underworld had a bounty for such people. Killing one would earn five hundred thousand yuan.

Considering the current situation and the fact that the scope of Sacred Heart Academy is really quite large, the police did not make any difficulties for these people. In fact, some police officers were eager to get a black society bounty. Later, it was said that a policeman killed a mercenary by firing randomly during a small-scale scuffle. After the news spread within the police station, before he could collect the bounty, Liu Zheng and others personally went to his house with a check to thank him. Of course, this is a story for later, not to be mentioned now.

However, although they were indifferent to this matter, the police chief did meet with Liu Zheng and others once, saying that it was fine for you to carry knives and sticks, but can you put the shotguns back? Don’t be so ostentatious. Look how professional those bodyguards are. You can’t tell what they are carrying on them… Seeing those people wearing suits, their right hands always tucked into their clothes, looking like future warriors, the bosses called their men to find some long bags used for carrying golf clubs or fishing rods and had their men put the shotguns in.

As the first batch of injured people came out, someone told the reporters that the situation was under control. Immediately, there was a wave of excitement outside the school. All those whose children had not come out yet wanted to go in. These were mostly people with strong family backgrounds. They said to the group of police who were blocking them, “I am the president of the Xiangdong Group, I am good friends with your deputy chief…”

“If anything happens, I will take responsibility. Don’t you see the people behind me? They are all veterans from the Vietnam War, seasoned veterans…”

“If everything is fine, let me go in. I warn you…”

“I will personally speak to Chief Hao…”

The situation had been controlled to a certain extent, but there were still some problems. Perhaps he took the lead, or perhaps he had already anticipated the trouble at this time. Chief Hao had already arrived inside the school, coordinating police forces and manpower, arranging rescue and evacuation. Amidst the chaos, someone said something. He immediately turned to one side of the small square. He saw Ye Lian, a handsome man, followed by Dongfang Lu, who was now bruised and swollen. After them, there was a rabbit and a bear. The one wearing the rabbit costume was Dongfang Lu’s sister, Dongfang Wan. As for the one wearing the bear costume, he didn’t recognize him, a rather猥琐 (unseemly) fat man.

“Thank you, Team Leader Ye. Xiao Lu, Xiao Wan, are you alright?”

As the most influential family in Jiang Hai City, even the police chief could only curry favor with them. Occasionally, he would go to the Dongfang family for tea and dinner. Chief Hao knew the Dongfang siblings well. He usually called himself “Uncle” to them. After exchanging greetings, Ye Lian nodded, “Fortunately, we were lucky and arrived in time. We almost got into trouble.” He pointed at Dongfang Lu, “He’s been seriously injured, mainly internal injuries. The other two just have some superficial wounds. Take them to the hospital quickly. I still have something to do, I’ll go first.”

As he said this, he waved his hand and prepared to go support his other comrades. A policeman ran straight towards them, “Report to Chief Hao, the old teaching building over there is fighting fiercely right now. However, it’s not our people. It’s not clear who’s fighting whom. We sent in a small team. Three of our colleagues were killed in the first exchange of fire. The rest quickly retreated. Now everyone can only surround the area. We request instructions.”

“It’s not our people?” Chief Hao turned his head and looked at Ye Lian curiously.

“Go have a look.”

The two nodded and walked away with the surrounding police officers. Dongfang Lu and the other two got into the ambulance parked nearby. The rescued students were now coming out of the teaching area one after another. During the incident on the Xingmeng Hao (Star Dream) last time, the three of them were also taken hostage together. However, Fu Yan Jie’s presence was not strong. After that, they had no contact. Unexpectedly, they got mixed up together again this time. It really felt like a karmic connection. Dongfang Wan sat next to her brother, checking his injuries with a nurse. Fu Yan Jie, wearing the bear costume, sat opposite them, his eyes moving up and down, left and right. Dongfang Lu’s eyes also wandered. He was clearly embarrassed by the misunderstanding just now. After a moment, their eyes met. Fu Yan Jie laughed nervously, “Haha, hello, do you remember me? … We’ve met again…”

“Uh… Hello, hello…”

The two shook hands nervously, like springs. Dongfang Wan looked at them curiously, “Why are you acting so strange? … Hi, we’ve met again, hehe, we three are really destined…”

“Hehe, hehe…”

“Destined, destined…”

…

…

“What’s going on?”

Following Chief Hao’s order, in the nearby forest, the old six-story building had been surrounded by police. Before the establishment of Sacred Heart Academy, this was a school. Later, a large area of land was enclosed for the noble academy, and a new plan was made. Because the plan was too advanced, many projects – such as the plan to establish a university – had not reached the time of implementation, so many old buildings were still preserved. This six-story building was built like a fortress. It looked completely devoid of beauty. It used to be a teaching building, but it had been sealed off. Now, only gunfire could be heard, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. Some windowpanes fell from mid-air with the gunfire.

“Chief Hao, Xiao Fang and A Luo are dead. We can’t determine who’s on our side inside, so… Their shooting is very accurate. Xiao Fang and A Luo fell as soon as they entered. And they… they seem to only be two people…”

“Two people… Give me the loudspeaker.”

The police officer nodded and brought a loudspeaker. Chief Hao stood behind a police car, “Listen up inside. You are surrounded. Surrender immediately and put down your weapons. We are the Jiang Hai City People’s Police…”

He shouted once, but the gunfire inside continued without any response. Chief Hao waited a few seconds and shouted again. Until the third time, he had just begun to speak when Ye Lian suddenly pushed him away, “Be careful!”

Gunfire rang out. The glass window on the third floor shattered, and Ye Lian and Chief Hao rolled to the ground. The loudspeaker exploded in the air with a bang.
