Chen Lin’s heart was filled with unwillingness and even more hatred.
Along with regret.
Damn it, he could have just commanded remotely. He just had to come and see Bai Jinghong’s miserable state afterwards.
Now, that guy was perfectly fine, probably leisurely smoking in the car.
His own men, on the other hand, were dead or captured.
Even he, the supreme leader, was pinned down behind a tree.
It truly confirmed the saying: “A lifetime of hunting eagles, only to have his eyes pecked out by a little sparrow!”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! I’ve been through a hundred battles, escaped how many desperate situations unscathed.”
“How can I fall today!”
Chen Lin’s eyes turned fierce. He was ready to fight with everything he had.
Chen Lin raised his gun, planted his foot on the tree, preparing to use it to spring out.
With his Profound Level Mid-stage speed, he could definitely leap out over ten meters. Then they wouldn’t be able to hit him.
Of course, this action carried risk.
But right now, he had no choice but to gamble.
Seeing Chen Lin’s movements through X-Ray Vision, Bai Jinghong raised his hand, ready to give the order.
All the bodyguards stood ready, guns raised.
Chen Lin over there bent his knees, about to spring out at any moment.
A cold smile lingered on Bai Jinghong’s lips. His hand slowly pressed down in sync with Chen Lin’s knee-bending motion.
“Whoosh!”
Chen Lin leapt out, attempting to jump away.
Bai Jinghong’s hand pressed down, and the bodyguards unleashed a hail of bullets.
“Bang bang bang!”
Gunfire thundered.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Lin executed a desperate mid-air turn, wanting to suddenly change direction to his right and escape.
But in his haste, he slammed headfirst into a tree.
“Fuck…” Chen Lin used the momentum for a roll, diving towards another tree.
Chen Lin’s experience was truly rich.
But he couldn’t withstand Bai Jinghong’s precise tracking.
Bai Jinghong had been waiting. Just when Chen Lin’s body was about to fully disappear behind the tree, he pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
A bullet shot out rapidly.
“Splat…”
A soft sound of impact rang out. The part of Chen Lin’s shoulder blade left exposed behind the tree was directly hit.
“Ugh…”
Chen Lin let out a muffled grunt, instantly furious.
He fired blindly in that direction.
Finally, enduring the intense pain, he used a leaping technique to dodge again, quickly diving into a small clump of bushes.
Bai Jinghong’s bodyguards wanted to pursue, but Bai Jinghong stopped them.
“No need to chase.”
The bodyguards naturally obeyed Bai Jinghong’s orders.
They didn’t pursue.
Only Bai Jinghong knew it wasn’t that easy to kill Chen Lin.
Even he had to completely focus his mind to hit Chen Lin.
If it were anyone else, they probably would have only grazed his skin.
Making Chen Lin injured and suffer a major defeat was good enough.
“Young Master Bai, who exactly were these people?” Ah Kun asked, puzzled.
Daring to ambush Bai Jinghong in Dragon Sea was a first for him.
And so brazenly, a direct roadblock ambush.
If word got out, it would cause a sensation.
“Who they are, how should we know? That’s for the police to investigate and then tell us!”
Bai Jinghong smiled wickedly.
Ah Kun immediately understood and couldn’t help but laugh too.
Having the police hound Chen Lin was also a fine thing.
“Ah Kun, call the police. Make it sound as serious as possible!”
Bai Jinghong said calmly.
“Yes!”
After giving the order, Bai Jinghong told the bodyguards, “Put on gloves and scatter all the bullet casings from the roadside into the woods.”
“Then leave three cars’ worth of people here. The rest, return to the estate first.”
“Yes, Young Master Bai!”
The bodyguards responded, scattered the bullet casings, and eventually, seven out of the ten cars left.
The surviving Underworld Guard was left at the scene, receiving temporary first aid and bandaging from the bodyguards.
Bai Jinghong sat in the car, lit a cigarette, leaned back in his seat, and said nothing, waiting for the police to arrive.
Within twenty minutes or so, a large number of police cars rushed over with sirens wailing, along with ambulances.
The police cars stopped. A middle-aged man with shoulder insignia depicting “two wheat ears wrapping a national emblem” ran directly towards Bai Jinghong.
“Young Master Bai, what’s the situation!” The middle-aged man looked anxious.
Bai Jinghong sighed: “Director Wang, I don’t know the situation either.”
“I planned to go out and have fun tonight. When I was driving through here, a group of people ambushed me right here.”
“By the looks of it, there should have been ten or twenty people, all armed with guns!”
“If my bodyguards weren’t all elite soldiers, I probably would have died here today.”
Bai Jinghong sighed deliberately.
There had only been about twenty-odd Underworld Guards entering Dragon Sea. Saying it this way would make the investigation seem truthful.
Wang Guoming was shocked.
Because he also saw the ground in the woods covered in bullet casings.
Damn, you couldn’t fire so many bullets without dozens of people!
A gunfight of this severity had happened in his jurisdiction, and the target was the young master of Dragon Sea’s First Family.
This case was going to turn the city upside down.
“Young Master Bai, what about the casualties?” At that moment, a cold voice sounded.
Bai Jinghong followed the voice and looked over.
A policewoman in uniform, her hair in a neat ponytail, looking heroic and valiant, was slowly walking towards him, her expression icy cold.
Bai Jinghong recognized her at a glance.
Mu Yanbing, the Female Police Flower of Dragon Sea’s Number One Branch.
In the original story, she was naturally one of Chen Lin’s women.
Just based on that cold, bitchy face she was putting on, Bai Jinghong couldn’t mistake her.
“No casualties on our side. The other side seemed to be in a hurry too. One volley and then they ran.”
“But our people killed four of them and wounded one. The living one is in the car right now.”
After hearing this, Mu Yanbing immediately had people check.
She then looked at Bai Jinghong with some suspicion: “So many of them didn’t manage to injure a single one of your men? Instead, you killed four?”
Bai Jinghong frowned deeply, displeased. He said coldly: “What? Do you need someone on my side to die before you’re happy?”
“My bodyguards are all retired special forces. They’re highly skilled, is that not allowed?”
“Are you even a police officer? Damn it, I was going out to have fun and got ambushed. Who did I offend?”
“According to you, my people have to die to prove I was ambushed, right?”
“Yanbing, don’t cause trouble!” Wang Guoming immediately stopped her.
Mu Yanbing suddenly felt her question was very inappropriate.
She hurriedly said: “Sorry, that’s not what I meant.”
Bai Jinghong snorted coldly, too lazy to engage.
In any urban power fantasy novel, as long as there’s a female officer, she’s basically hot-tempered, with a smoking body, and a perpetual bitchy face.
Acting like the whole world owed her something, interrogating witnesses with an arrogant attitude.
Bai Jinghong wasn’t going to indulge her.
In fact, Mu Yanbing did think there were many suspicious points.
For instance, there were no large-scale bullet marks on the cars. If it was an interceptive shooting, the cars would inevitably have traces left.
Suspicious points were just suspicions, but the incident itself was real.
There were signs of activity in the jungle, plenty of bullet casings, and they weren’t all the same caliber.
Additionally, there were four bodies, and one survivor captured.
And according to investigation, there was a bullet mark on the car window corresponding to the wounded captive’s seated position.
Likely, the opponents saw their man captured and wanted to silence him.
It was just that the car window was bulletproof, so they failed!
Coincidentally, this road section had no surveillance. The other side must have deliberately chosen this spot.
Whether Bai Jinghong’s words were exaggerated or mixed with some falsehoods.
The fact remained: he was ambushed.
“Director Wang, suppress this matter for now. Don’t let my family know. I’ll be waiting for you to give me a result!”
Bai Jinghong said calmly.
“Young Master Bai, rest assured. With something like this happening, even if I have to turn Dragon Sea upside down, I’ll give you a result.”
Wang Guoming himself was terrified. How could he not suppress this?
This matter had to be investigated secretly. Once made public, the impact would be too great.
“By the way, remember to tell me the interrogation results. Make absolutely sure to protect that survivor. I feel those people really want to kill him to silence him.”
“That goes without saying!” Wang Guoming said hastily.
He also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Bai Jinghong was fine, and he didn’t seem intent on pursuing it publicly.
Otherwise, his position here would have reached its end.
