Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 749: First Battle Victory

    

nto the distance. It was as if she were watching her own throne slipping away from her grasp. A suffocating feeling of bitterness and resentment welled up within her, but it was all too late.The coug...With a deafening bang, the smoke grenade landed in the enemy camp. Li Qian, Yuan Chongming, and Zhao Jia immediately retreated to the fireproof door. The passage was already filled with smoke, and moments later, the five of them heard gunfire.

"Damn it! Get out here, I'll kill you all!"

The fat man's shouts were the loudest.

A ripple raised his hand and fired a shot, followed immediately by the fat man's screams.

"Boss, they have guns too!"

Someone exclaimed.

Immediately, ripples raised their hand again with a shot. Confused footsteps echoed in the stairwell as the other party ran down.

The commotion upstairs had clearly alarmed the entire building, and people were shouting and running for cover.

"Let's go! Don't give them a chance to take hostages!"

Ripples smiled and said to the four people.

At this time, besides Yuan Chongming, the remaining three people each had a gun. Lianri took out a handgun from her small bag and threw it to Yuan Chongming.

Will you use it

"Yes!"

The other party skillfully opened the safe and loaded the gun.

"Let's go!"

The smoke grenades hadn't cleared yet, and the five people took advantage of the cover to rush down quickly. From the fifteenth floor to the eleventh floor, there were no residents blocking the stairwell on these four floors, which allowed the group to retreat faster.

Yuan Chongming and his men were all professionally trained, so they were fast and precise with their attacks, showing no hesitation. Their speed was surpassed only by the ripples, as both their pistols and deadly silk shot forth simultaneously.

Those hiding in the line of fire, all had their feet entangled by the transparent death silk. With the cover of smoke grenades, they believed someone was ambushing them from the shadows, so they ran even faster, eager to escape this building immediately. Anyone who lagged behind would meet their demise.

Among these people, some smart ones ran to the tenth floor and grabbed those who hadn't had time to dodge, intending to use them as shields. Unfortunately, Ripples' deadly threads had already wrapped around their necks. A light tug, and their heads rolled off, eliciting even more terrifyingly high-pitched screams.

"Ah! Murdered!"

"Help me!"

"Run! Don't get caught!"

For a time, the entire building was in chaos. The people inside were too afraid to open their doors, lest they invite trouble upon themselves.

The group that was eventually brought back to the eleventh floor by Guo Haiyang had only one escape, jumping onto a speedboat and fleeing from Shui Shan Hu Ting residential complex at the fastest speed possible.

"Don't let him run away!"

Li Qian said loudly.

Ripple furrowed her brow, raised her hand to aim, and when the target was out of her range, she blasted his head with a shot.

The speedboat was out of control and crashed into another building in the residential complex, causing everyone in that building to come out and stare.

"Ripples, your aim is pretty good."

Zhao Jia smiled and said.

"It's a pity about that speedboat, I wonder if it can still be used."

Ripples said softly.

"I'll take a look, you clean up."

Li Gan finished speaking and immediately jumped onto the speedboat he had used before to check the situation.

Yuan Chongming went straight to the eleventh floor to find Guo Haiyang. He brought him here, so what does it mean to hide now At least he should give everyone an explanation.

The pounding on the door startled another household, but they didn't dare open it to see who was there. After all, Yuan Chongming had a gun in his hand.

Guo Haiyang, you better come out, or I'll break down your door, and then you won't have to come out ever again.

Yuan Chongming's voice was somewhat cold.

There was no sound from inside the room, so he took a step back and held his gun, aiming it at the door lock. This time, there was finally movement inside, as the door creaked open to reveal a pale-faced woman.

Please don't break down my door, my husband didn't mean it, he's hurt too!

The woman was very afraid and explained in a low, timid voice.

"Let him out, I won't kill him, I just have something to ask him."

Yuan Chonghui's voice was still cold.

Let me go help him!

The woman finally reacted. She quickly ran into the bedroom and brought Guo Haiyang out. His leg was wrapped in a clean bandage, with fresh blood seeping through. His face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat.

“Mr. Yuan, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to bring them here. They recognized the speedboat and surrounded us directly. They even broke my leg. I had no choice but to say that. I have a wife and children at home, I can’t afford to get hurt.”

Guo Haiyang admitted defeat very quickly and immediately blurted everything out.

Where did you meet them

"The DeDeMa supermarket isn't too far away, I didn't dare go anywhere too far, just wanted to try my luck, but ended up with nothing. We then went to the nearby office building and were intercepted there."

Guo Haiyang speaks the truth.

Have you been to their den

"No, they intercepted us halfway. Then they called over three speedboats. They made me lead the way, saying they wanted to avenge their comrades. I told them I really didn't know who their comrades were, and they just started beating me up."

Guo Haiyang said with a pained expression.

"Alright, I understand. Take care of your injuries! Now that we have more speedboats, if you still need to borrow one, you can return it with supplies. I welcome it anytime."

Yuan Chongming learned the situation and didn't linger. He immediately returned to the fifteenth floor.

At this time, Li Qian had already returned and was gathering everyone for a small meeting. Lian Yi was forcibly dragged over. They said it involved national security, and she had to attend.

Ripple wanted to cover her face. In order to make things easier, she had fabricated an identity for herself, and this group of people had believed it wholeheartedly. Now that she wanted to stay out of it, she couldn't. She could only force a stoic expression and attend the meeting.

Sun Wei Feng was the first to speak:

“Those bodies were cleaned up by me. There were two people inside who were that drug lord’s henchmen, I'm sure it was them.”

What about the others

"No, it was probably a hastily assembled mob."

"Jia Jia, have you seen their weapons"

Li Qian continued to ask.

“Having seen it, it's their standard equipment, only four of them. I estimate that it's to deal with emergencies, and the bullets they carry aren't many. The biggest one might be used to scare people, after all, gun control in China is still very strict.”

Zhao Jia placed all four guns on the table. Lian Ri glanced at them and said,

"No, one is missing!"

"What does it mean"

They had five guns, I heard.

With confidence, Lian Yi said.

"I'll keep looking."

Zhao Jia immediately said.

"No need, it must be someone in this building stirring up trouble. Having a gun doesn't mean they'll use it, nor does it mean they are invincible."

Li Qian said faintly. He didn't say that the other party might not willingly hand over their gun.

At this moment, Yuan Chongming also returned and told what he had inquired from Guo Haiyang.

What do you think

“We need to strike first. We're trapped here for a reason, to catch this bastard.”

Sun Weifeng said with eager anticipation.

"I agree with Weifeng's opinion. We can't bring trouble to ordinary people anymore. This is our responsibility."

Li Qian nodded.

Then, all four turned their gazes towards Ripple. Ripple, who was at that moment leaning her head back and daydreaming, noticed everyone looking at her and asked:

"What can I support you with"hao Jingcheng's residence.Zhao Jingcheng's courtyard wasn't small, but it was in a state of disrepair. After all, he lived alone and for at least three months out of the year, he stayed in a hunter's...
