Chapter 879: Heading North to Make an Arrest

Just as He Yaozu climbed up, He Yuzhu tossed over a few empty magazines and several boxes of bullets: "Help me load the magazines."

He Yaozu responded with a sound, then hurriedly hid behind a large rock. His fingers were trembling a little as he pressed the bullets into the magazines one by one.

Only then did he realize that the training he had done before—shooting BB guns and simulating live-action combat—was simply child's play compared to the real battlefield before his eyes.

He stole a glance at He Yuzhu and the enemies down the mountain, and he was truly impressed: his father was blowing a head apart with almost every shot, taking down seventeen or eighteen of them in the blink of an eye.

The security personnel at the foot of the mountain were no slouches either; they had good guns, and even though they were at a geographical disadvantage, they still took down seven or eight of the opposing side.

The leader of the killers on the opposite side, Chen Ze, shouted into a walkie-talkie: "These people are too powerful, retreat!"

But just as they wanted to retreat, they realized they couldn't leave—He Yuzhu had actually pulled a machine gun out of his backpack.

He Yaozu's eyes nearly popped out; his father's backpack had actually contained an FNMini.

"Da-da-da-da-da-da—" The machine gun sealed off their retreat, and the dozen or so people charging at the very front fell to the ground instantly.

With their rear path cut off, the security personnel immediately pressed forward, surrounding the remaining people like dumplings in a wrapper.

Just at this moment, He Yuzhu caught a glimpse of a few figures running down the mountain behind the ridge: "Someone is going to report the news! Yaozu, you stay here and guard. If there are still hidden enemies or reinforcements, you must hold this position for me."

"Don't worry, Dad." No sooner had He Yaozu finished speaking than He Yuzhu had already grabbed a rope like an ape and slid rapidly down the stone wall.

He took a shortcut, circled behind those few people, shot and downed a few first, and hit the last one in the thigh with a single shot to capture them alive, casually stowing them into his space, intending to find a quiet place to interrogate them later.

When He Yuzhu returned, the security personnel were finishing off the wounded one by one.

He instructed Ershuan: "You lead the team to protect the family, retreat quickly; I will handle the scene."

Ershuan knew his capabilities and immediately organized the personnel to get into the vehicles, escorting He Daqing to continue heading south.

He Yuzhu stayed behind and quickly collected all the corpses into his space.

At this time, Lin Wanning finished bandaging the wounds of several security guards and walked over quickly.

She scanned the area and found that the shadows of the enemy corpses were already gone from the battlefield, then shook her head and said: "Zhuzi, I'm afraid this gunfight here can't be covered up, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Finish cleaning up and run!" He Yuzhu said.

He Yaozu also came over; seeing that the bloodstains were still there but the corpses were all gone, he stared at He Yuzhu, dumbfounded.

Lin Wanning walked over and patted him: "Your father's ability, make sure you don't tell anyone, you hear me?"

"Mom, do you take me for a three-year-old?" He Yaozu came back to his senses, "How could I blab about this kind of thing? But today I've really seen it; my dad is a god."

He Yuzhu kicked him: "Stop buttering me up, I'm a human. You hurry and help me clean up the bloodstains, we need to run, the police will probably be here soon."

The three of them finished cleaning up quickly and boarded the vehicle to continue south.

Just at this moment, several police cars came roaring over from the opposite direction.

Ma Rui was napping in the rehearsal room when suddenly, the door was kicked open by Li Xiang.

Li Xiang rushed in and went to grab Ma Rui by the collar, but how could Ma Rui let him run wild? He slid to the side like a loach, tripped him with his foot, and delivered an elbow strike, sending Li Xiang flying far away.

Li Xiang sat on the ground and cursed loudly: "Ma Rui, you bastard, it was you who reported Deputy Director Liu, right? He's been taken away..."

He sat on the ground and cursed non-stop.

At this time, the classmates entered one after another, and seeing Li Xiang and Ma Rui seemingly fighting, they all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Li Xiang cursed more and more vigorously: "Does everyone know? Ma Rui actually reported Deputy Director Liu, this ungrateful thing!"

Ma Rui laughed: "Deputy Director Liu hasn't done me any favors, so I'm not taking the blame for being ungrateful. Besides, Deputy Director Liu being investigated has nothing to do with me; he has moral failings and was having an improper relationship with his own student, so it was only a matter of time before he was investigated."

The classmates looked at each other, none daring to make a sound.

Li Xiang gritted his teeth and said: "I'm telling you, if Deputy Director Liu doesn't fall, he will definitely expel you!"

Ma Rui laughed: "Even if he doesn't fall, he won't be able to be a Deputy Director anymore, stop threatening me here."

Li Xiang turned his head to look at Li Xin: "Let's sign a joint petition to go to the Dean and say that Deputy Director Liu is the best teacher, let's go protect him!"

Li Xin shook his head: "Li Xiang, it's useless. Deputy Director Liu is being investigated; if he's innocent, the organization will surely clear his name, and if he's guilty, we can't protect him either."

"You're ungrateful, you're all ungrateful!" Li Xiang pointed at everyone and cursed.

Liu Wei stood out: "Li Xiang, if we're talking about favors, your cousin-in-law has done you favors, and it's already good enough that he doesn't have grudges against the rest of us. You should go home and reflect; you're a self-funded student, do you have no idea how you were admitted? You brag every day about how well you study and want to be the lead in the report performance, on what grounds? Do you think no one has any objections? Everyone is just afraid to say it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang's face turned beet red. He had always thought he was very impressive, but in reality, no one had bothered to argue with him; he was the only clown.

Ma Rui chimed in from the side: "Chen Ze was the first to leave our class, you're probably the second."

Li Xiang pointed at Ma Rui's nose and cursed: "You just wait, I'll deal with you."

"I'll wait for you to come back!" Ma Rui said, infuriating him to death.

After Li Xiang left, Liu Wei said loudly: "I feel so relaxed, that oppressive feeling suddenly vanished."

He Yuzhu's group headed straight for Xuzhou, and upon arriving, they chose the largest hotel to stay in.

He called Ershuan to his side: "Ershuan, for the next two or three days, the whole team will depend on you. I have to go back to take care of something, I will be back as soon as possible."

Ershuan asked: "Are you going to raid their nest?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "I feel like we ran into two groups of people—one group responsible for scouting information, and the other should be professional killers."

Ershuan said: "Don't worry. Once this group is wiped out, I expect there won't be a second group."

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder: "I'm leaving overnight to avoid any complications from dragging things out."

After getting settled, He Yuzhu drove out alone, found a remote patch of woods, and released the person he had captured earlier from his space.

Because of excessive blood loss, the man's face was as white as paper.

He Yuzhu squatted down, stared at him, and asked: "Where exactly are you from? Why did you ambush us?"

The man was stubborn at first and refused to speak.

He Yuzhu didn't hold back; after a brutal beating, the man finally couldn't hold out and confessed everything about their nest hidden in Si Jiu Cheng—including the place where Shi Lei often stayed and the hideouts of several intelligence agents he knew about.

Seeing that he had no more utility, He Yuzhu snapped his neck and wiped his hands.

That same night, he drove onto the road alone, heading straight for Si Jiu Cheng.

There was only one goal: to drag Shi Lei out.
