Late at night.
The Dragon Hall's imposing black G-Wagon drove steadily down the road.
The atmosphere inside the car was exceptionally heavy and oppressive, due to the shocking intelligence about Lu Cheng that Ye Shuying had just reported.
The Lu family's vast influence, their ruthless methods, and the strict security measures at Lu Cheng's residence and frequent haunts... Xiao Zhan's face grew increasingly grim, and a chilling, bone-deep coldness emanated from him!
Hu Sha, sitting in the passenger seat, had a fiery and impatient temper.
Looking at the bustling, prosperous, and noisy nightscape of Modu still teeming with traffic outside the window, he felt an inexplicable rage building in his chest and couldn't help but curse and complain: "Damn it! The traffic in Dragon Country is a fucking mess!"
"These drivers, every single one of them acts like they're blind! They don't know any rules! And they even dare to drive against traffic? Are they in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
He was referring to several cars on the opposite lane that seemed to be in a frantic chase, even disregarding traffic laws and performing various dangerous maneuvers like driving against traffic and overtaking.
Those cars seemed to be fleeing from something, weaving recklessly through traffic, creating dangerous situations.
Tie Bi, who was driving, narrowed his eyes the moment he saw those cars!
He keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Wait! Hu Sha, look!"
"That car's license plate... it looks like... our own brothers' car?"
Before he finished speaking!
Several more black SUVs roared past from the opposite lane!
Their bodies were covered in obvious scratches and collision marks!
"Damn it! Something must have happened!"
Seeing this, Hu Sha was furious!
He immediately yelled at Tie Bi in the driver's seat:
"Tie Bi! Turn around! Turn around immediately! Let's follow them first!"
Tie Bi didn't hesitate for a moment; he sharply turned the steering wheel!
The black G-Wagon let out a deafening roar, like a waking beast!
A textbook-perfect power slide!
The massive vehicle deftly completed a U-turn on the narrow road, joining the chase and speeding off in the direction their brothers were frantically fleeing!
Soon, they caught up to the last car, which was also in the most miserable condition.
When the driver of that car saw the Dragon King's vehicle catching up, he immediately pulled over to the side of the road, swaying unsteadily.
The car door opened.
A Dragon Hall member, covered in blood and with a look of terror and despair on his face, stumbled out of the car, seemingly wanting to run towards Xiao Zhan and his group to report.
Hu Sha was already burning with anxiety; he pushed open the car door, ready to get out and go forward, eager to ask what was happening.
"What's going on? Where are the others?"
Just as that Dragon Hall member opened his mouth, before he could utter a single word!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several crisp and deadly gunshots suddenly erupted in the silent night sky!
In the distance.
Several police officers in SWAT uniforms, heavily armed, with camouflage painted on their faces, emerged silently like ghosts from hell.
The muzzles of their guns were still emitting wisps of smoke.
Right in front of the four, several cold and ruthless bullets, with a piercing whistle that tore through the air, accurately struck the chest and head of the unarmed Dragon Hall member who had just gotten out of the car.
Blood instantly stained the cold ground!
He couldn't even let out a scream; his body slumped softly like a ragdoll.
His eyes were still fixed on the direction of the four-person group.
The scene was bloody and shocking.
The four in the car witnessed their brother being so cleanly and decisively shot dead right before their eyes!
An indescribable grief and fury instantly overwhelmed their reason.
This... this wasn't an arrest at all, was it?
This was simply... a one-sided hunt!
Just at this desperate moment.
In the distance, an even denser, more piercing wail of police sirens echoed again!
Dozens of police cars, flashing their unsettling red and blue lights, surged like a tide, pursuing in the direction the previous vehicles had fled.
At the same time, the nearby SWAT officers quickly began to clear the scene before them... taking photos, collecting evidence, setting up a cordon—professional, efficient, and utterly cold.
"Ah—!!!"
Seeing his brother brutally killed and the enemy arrogant, Hu Sha could no longer control the rage in his heart!
Like a mad tiger, he recklessly charged forward, intending to fight those SWAT officers to the death.
However, just as he was about to rush out of the car door!
Tie Bi grabbed the enraged Hu Sha, his arm like an iron clamp, locking him firmly.
Then, he roughly carried him back into the car like a sack of potatoes and buckled his seatbelt.
At the same time, he let out a low, urgent roar to Xiao Zhan and Ye Shuying, who also had ashen faces and boiling killing intent:
"Dragon King! Phantom! This is not a place to stay! This is a trap!"
He slammed the accelerator to the floor.
The G-Wagon's powerful engine let out an unwilling roar!
They quietly left before anyone noticed them... Inside the car, the four remained silent throughout the journey.
Even Hu Sha had no time to complain or be angry now.
They frantically sent messages through various communication channels, trying to contact their brothers in the Dragon Hall.
But there was nothing but deathly silence... The next morning.
Temporary safe house.
The atmosphere remained heavy, with cigarette butts from the three men scattered all over the floor... On the TV screen, Modu's morning news led with a sternly worded, shocking major report:
"[Thunderous Strike! The city police have launched a powerful crackdown, successfully dismantling a den of foreign armed terrorists attempting to infiltrate our country and engage in illegal activities! Several resisters were killed on the spot, and dozens of suspects were arrested!]"
In the news footage, heavily armed SWAT team members were brave and decisive, acting swiftly, and the police's swift action and determination to maintain safety and stability were highly praised.
But the Dragon Hall's four-person group in front of the TV... found it hard to remain calm.
Only they knew what those numbers meant.
It meant that the Dragon Hall elites they had brought to Modu were completely wiped out!
And the news was not yet over.
It mentioned that the police were able to act so precisely and efficiently and achieve such brilliant results entirely thanks to crucial intelligence provided by a mysterious, selfless citizen, Mr. Lu, who wished to remain anonymous!
On the TV screen, this Mr. Lu, elegantly dressed, stood with a leader, receiving the "Modu Good Citizen" medal and banner.
Although his face was heavily pixelated, making his appearance impossible to discern.
But Ye Shuying only needed one glance at his attire, his unique silhouette, and his innate noble aura.
Instantly, she recognized him!
That person was Lu Cheng!
Xiao Zhan also found the pixelated, blurry figure extremely familiar.
When he saw Ye Shuying's face instantly turn ashen, and her eyes filled with disbelief and horror, his heart sank.
His voice hoarse, with a slight tremor, he asked:
"Is it him... Lu Cheng?"
Ye Shuying nodded with difficulty, her despair deepening.
"Pfft—!"
Xiao Zhan could no longer suppress the rage and humiliation in his heart.
He violently spat out a mouthful of blood!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms from clenching too hard, seeping with traces of blood.
He let out a roar like a wounded, trapped beast, filled with endless despair and towering hatred:
"Lu Cheng—!!"
"You despicable and shameless villain!!"
"If this grudge is not avenged! I, Xiao Zhan! Swear I am not human!!"
