Just as they were still searching for Ning Chen, Ning Chen suddenly stepped out from the darkness; he stood in a corner, a corner so well-hidden that if one did not look carefully, it was simply impossible to see.

Ning Chen quickly launched a second wave of attacks; bullets struck the Long Hu Gang subordinates, killing a large number of people once again.

Others, upon realizing that a whole group of their own had suddenly been killed, quickly searched for the firing position of the bullets and finally determined it.

They immediately raised their hands, aiming their guns at Ning Chen, who was still hiding in the darkness.

Just a second before these people fired, Ning Chen had already sensed the gun barrels aimed at him from all directions; he sneered and immediately moved to another location.

And the transfer time took less than even a second; after the Long Hu Gang people fired, they missed again, the bullets hitting that pile of scrap metal and producing a somewhat grating sound.

Ning Chen was simply like a ghost or deity who came without a trace and left without a footprint; the second before he was still in place, the second after he had transferred elsewhere; even Luo Xi, a person accustomed to all sorts of strange and bizarre things, could not help but be astonished.

Luo Xi deeply understood the principle that when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, one cannot engage in battle; he ordered his subordinates to hide, as it was highly likely Ning Chen would launch a second wave of combat, and hiding at this moment was the most important thing.

505. Only adding trouble; one person can handle it.

A moment before activating his skill, Ning Chen saw the Long Hu Gang people hiding; he narrowed his eyes, realized this was not the time to act, and retracted his skill the next second.

After the skill was retracted, the Long Hu Gang people were still hiding in place, unwilling to show their heads for a long time; Ning Chen looked at their cowardly appearance, sneered, and turned his head to look toward the door.

There were no traces of that group of police at the door, so Ning Chen only glanced once before withdrawing his gaze.

Compared to those police coming to "help" him, Ning Chen actually preferred that they not come and add trouble; after all, when fighting the Long Hu Gang, skills would need to be used, and the scale of skill release was too large, making it very easy to accidentally injure them.

Luo Xi waited for a long time but still did not wait for Ning Chen's attack; he felt something was wrong, so he poked his head out from behind the wall.

But he did not see Ning Chen down below.

Ning Chen had transferred his position again at this moment; he hid in a blind spot, took his phone out of his pants pocket with his fingertips, opened the contact list, and immediately dialed Xu Si's number.

His contact list was very simple, containing only a few contacts; after Si Shiya's incident, Ning Chen had been living a life between clocking in and seeking revenge, a two-point line; let alone contacts, the people he met were becoming fewer and fewer.

Xu Si answered quite quickly on the other end; before Ning Chen could speak, Xu Si's slightly surprised voice came through: "Do you need our help? We are just guarding the door; this time we have assembled a team, just waiting for your order."

Ning Chen's expression showed a hint of helplessness; he turned his head to look at the Haiwan Family people who were still anxiously searching for his traces and said, "No, do not add trouble for me; it is best if you do not come at all."

Xu Si said "Ah": "We have already deployed personnel, placing them in positions the Long Hu Gang people cannot discover... we will not add trouble for you; besides, you alone may not be able to defeat the opposition."

Ning Chen said decisively and calmly: "I can; if you want to help me, do not come in, just stay far away from me."

After saying this, Ning Chen directly hung up the phone.

Xu Si heard the "dudududu" busy tone, his expression somewhat disappointed; he turned to look at Chen Gu and said, "He does not need our help; let us withdraw first."

Chen Gu immediately frowned: "Are you sure? The situation inside does not seem optimistic."

Jiang Yixi, listening to the voices of the two people in the walkie-talkie, suddenly felt a degree of dissatisfaction: "We spent so much time and such great effort; he says he doesn't want it, so he doesn't want it? Moreover, I feel that Ning Chen is fighting a life-or-death battle inside; it would be better if we helped him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Si fell silent for an instant and said, "Forget it; let us still wait for Ning Chen's order; I trust him more than you do; he can handle it."

After saying this sentence, Xu Si took a deep breath, his expression somewhat flickering, as if comforting himself.

He could not determine whether Ning Chen could truly handle those people inside; although Ning Chen had indeed fought a whole mercenary company and the Haiwan Family, but human physical strength has limits; at this point, Xu Si did not know at all whether he could trust Ning Chen.

It was just that Xu Si trusted Ning Chen from the bottom of his heart and also knew that their small team's strength was not top-tier; adhering to his trust in Ning Chen, Xu Si still chose to plan for the long term.

Chen Gu and Jiang Yixi heard Xu Si say this; although they did not quite understand, they did not say much; although this trip was indeed in vain, Ning Chen did not need their help, which was also beneficial for the police, after all, it could reduce casualty statistics.

So Xu Si held his position and waited for Ning Chen to speak.

Xu Si wanted to help Ning Chen but was also afraid of adding trouble for Ning Chen, so he squatted somewhat impatiently in the corner, doing nothing, just waiting for Ning Chen to speak.

But until the people inside truly started fighting, Ning Chen did not call.

When Ning Chen voluntarily stepped out from the darkness, Luo Xi even felt somewhat amused; there are no absolute victors on the battlefield; all opportunities must be seized by people.

And Ning Chen's appearance, so self-assured and fearless of heaven or earth, looked very much like those young calves that Luo Xi had once disciplined.

Luo Xi's hand was somewhat restless; he completely cast fear aside; for him, Ning Chen was the best opponent to increase experience and power.

Luo Xi knew his current position was very hidden; even if Ning Chen had two pairs of eyes, he might not necessarily discover Luo Xi's position.

So Luo Xi quietly raised his hand holding the gun and fired several shots "bang bang" toward Ning Chen's position.

But all were easily dodged by Ning Chen.

Luo Xi widened his eyes in shock.

That was absolutely not his eyes playing tricks just now; Luo Xi saw Ning Chen easily avoid the bullets fired from behind him, the speed so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

After dodging, Ning Chen searched for the position of the person firing among the crowd; after seeing Luo Xi's eyes widened in shock, he sneered disdainfully.

This kind of smile was nothing less than adding fuel to the fire; Luo Xi was inflamed by this look and immediately organized everyone to fire at Ning Chen.

For a moment, gunshots came; all directions surrounded Ning Chen with gunfire; this time Luo Xi brought many people; the gunshots merged into a mass, sounding like a grand slaughter.

After hearing the sounds from inside, Xu Si's heart was quickly lifted; his heartbeat accelerated, and he began to worry about Ning Chen's safety.

If Ning Chen died, the police station would lose a powerful partner; even for the sake of repaying a debt, Xu Si could not possibly stand by and watch Ning Chen die inside.

After a fierce internal struggle, Xu Si tightened his grip on the walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "According to the original plan, we go in to help Ning Chen!"

Jiang Yixi showed confusion: "Didn't you just say to wait for Ning Chen's order before acting? Why the change of heart?"

Although Jiang Yixi heard the gunshots coming from inside, he still maintained a self-assured appearance, as if not very worried.

Xu Si frowned deeply: "I am still worried Ning Chen will have an accident... this time I will just consider it my overstepping; never mind, act according to the original plan."

Although among the three of Jiang Yixi, Chen Gu, and Xu Si, Xu Si's position was not the highest, Hua Ping gave the command authority for this operation to Xu Si.

That is to say, in this operation, the other two were to fully obey Xu Si's orders.

And after Xu Si gave this order, even if the other two were unwilling, they could not say much and could only quickly arrange their subordinates to prepare for assistance.

The Ning Chen inside easily dodged another wave of attacks and did not forget to launch a provocation, making Luo Xi and the Long Hu Gang people so angry they blew their whiskers and widened their eyes, yet they were completely powerless against him.

506. The clash between the police and the Long Hu Gang.

Ning Chen enjoyed the frustration of those on the opposite side; at the same time, he discovered that the more anxious they became, the more distorted their shooting or strategic arrangements became, allowing Ning Chen to exploit many loopholes.

It was already not difficult to defeat the opposition; after the opposition became anxious, they were even easier for Ning Chen to deal with; after Ning Chen easily eliminated several more Long Hu Gang people, Luo Xi finally realized he simply could not defeat Ning Chen, so the Long Hu Gang's fighting style shifted from aggressive to conservative.

But even with the conservative attack method, they still could not defeat Ning Chen.

After all, Ning Chen had a detailed response plan; if the opposition did not show their heads, Ning Chen would not choose to continue attacking; dragging this out caused no loss to Ning Chen, it would only make the Long Hu Gang people feel anxious.

Although the people in the Long Hu Gang all listened to orders, there were inevitably a few who were restless; as a result, Ning Chen killed several more people who did not obey orders, so that now the Long Hu Gang people began to feel somewhat powerless.

The police outside suddenly heard gunshots and stopped, each becoming somewhat at a loss; before arriving, they had specifically investigated the Long Hu Gang and studied their tactics in detail from the files.

They found the Long Hu Gang's tactics were mostly aggressive; their leader was Luo Xi, and the teams he led almost always won, catching their opponents off guard.

This made Ning Chen's situation even more dangerous.

Xu Si had arranged the best strategic positions; the team members reached their assigned spots and stood ready, waiting for Xu Si's order.

Xu Si moved to a spot with the clearest view; from outside looking in, he could clearly see the situation inside.

Just from that glance, Xu Si nearly fell off the wall.

Xu Si saw Ning Chen standing in a place with no obstacles blocking him, surrounded on all sides by Long Hu Gang members.

Ning Chen stood there boldly, not even bothering to dodge, facing the enemies with a gun in hand, like an unfazed grandmaster.

Xu Si's mouth twitched; he realized Ning Chen was truly arrogant, even in such a situation, looking at the opponents with an attitude bordering on contempt.

Yet the Long Hu Gang members did not shoot Ning Chen either; the two sides were unexpectedly harmonious at that moment.

It was as if the gunfight just now never existed; the struggle inside had now turned into a harmonious stare-down.

Xu Si nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood; he turned his head, hesitantly looking at Jiang Yixi and Chen Gu below, hesitated for a second or two, and ultimately did not order those two to retreat.

Everything proceeded according to the original plan.

Luo Xi had clearly set his heart on Ning Chen; Ning Chen was his greatest enemy. Although he knew the police had arrived at the Haiwan Family headquarters, he did not choose to focus his attention on the police at this time.

This also conveniently allowed those police to infiltrate the Haiwan Family headquarters and, while the Long Hu Gang members were unaware, directly kill several people.

Some among them noticed the police, but those who came to assist Ning Chen were no pushovers either; they silently killed those few people.

Ning Chen, using his perception, also discovered those police had entered the Haiwan Family headquarters; a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes; he hadn't expected they would still come in.

It seemed his skills would have to be held back.

When Ning Chen fought the Long Hu Gang members alone, he had no need to worry about whether his skills would harm others; after all, everyone in the Haiwan Family was an enemy to him, and killing anyone meant nothing to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen dodged several bullets and stopped at a safe spot; he keenly perceived those police had infiltrated the Haiwan Family headquarters and had silently killed several Long Hu Gang members.

They were indeed stronger than he had imagined.

Ning Chen thought for a moment, then slipped into a relatively safe position where the Long Hu Gang members could not immediately detect him, yet from which he could see the police.

Ning Chen intended to hold his position; he naturally knew what those police were thinking; perhaps they wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

Ning Chen originally did not want to cooperate with them, as such matters were too much trouble, but he could also see the sincerity of those police.

Moreover, cooperating with these people did not diminish his own standing.

And the strength of those police was indeed quite good.

The squad led by Chen Gu was especially formidable; they hid in the shadows, and every time one of them fired, they did not hesitate long, yet almost every shot hit its mark.

Such accuracy indeed left Ning Chen amazed.
