Chapter 52: Ambush

"These smugglers really do have their own mine."

The group hid in the shadows, carefully observing the silent mine in the distance.

After a while, Higgins spoke up: "Let's go. Because of the swarm, this mine should have been abandoned by those smugglers. Let's go in and see if we can find any clues."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked toward the mine in the distance.

Seeing this, Li Ang and Danika looked at each other, then took Cole and the others and followed.

Walking into the mine, metal equipment scattered on the ground could be seen everywhere.

Just as Higgins said, this mine had been abandoned.

Just then, the blond man walking at the very front asked as if casually: "Speaking of which, Li Ang, your professional ability is physical enhancement, right?"

Hearing this, Li Ang frowned slightly, not knowing why the other party was bringing this up now: "More or less."

This was information already available within the Public Security Bureau; he didn't need to hide it.

However, Higgins’s sudden inquiry made him feel a bit guarded.

Moreover, Li Ang hadn't trusted Higgins much to begin with; after all, the other party’s behavior was truly suspicious.

He felt that Danika must have seen it too, but he didn't know why she still chose to take on this mission.

"Is that so..." Higgins’s footsteps paused, and he muttered to himself, "That's good."

Just as the words fell, the blond man suddenly ran forward.

At the same time, several gunshots rang out suddenly.

And Li Ang, the moment he sensed something was wrong, had rolled to hide behind the metal equipment scattered on the ground.

Soon, the gunfire ceased.

"Captain? Cole?"

Li Ang tried calling out, and upon receiving their responses, he felt a sense of relief.

It hadn't reached the worst-case scenario yet.

'So Ma Kusi really is planning to silence us?'

'...No, if he didn't want us to know, there would have been no need to let us arrest the smugglers in the first place.'

At this moment, thoughts raced through Li Ang’s mind.

He thought of the bandit who had died inside the Public Security Bureau earlier.

'So...'

'Are they using us as bait?'

'Is there someone else behind those smugglers?'

If that were the case, it would indeed explain why Danika chose to go out of the city even though she knew there was a problem.

Before Li Ang could think further, Higgins’s voice, mixed with a hint of complaint, rang out in the mine. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
