Chapter 681 Even Bigger Trouble

How could it be her? !

Ai Yiqian?!

Qin Luo's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand! Immense shock and disbelief instantly swept over him!
How could she be here?! Was she tricked into coming? Or... was she on some secret mission that was exposed and she's being hunted down?! Countless questions exploded in Qin Luo's mind!

In the instant he was shocked, Ai Yiqian seemed to have noticed the convoy. Without stopping, she endured the excruciating pain in her leg, dragged her injured leg, quickly turned around, and stumbled into the darker alley across the street, her figure instantly swallowed by the darkness.

The convoy did not stop and continued driving towards the brightly lit casino ahead.

However, less than a minute later!

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of rapid and clear gunshots suddenly rang out from the depths of the alley where Ai Yiqian had disappeared, shattering the brief silence!
Qin Luo's heart sank!
"parking!"

His voice was deep and urgent, carrying an unquestionable command.

The driver instinctively stepped on the brakes.

"Mr. Qin? What's wrong?"

Qiangzi, who was in the passenger seat, immediately turned around, his face full of confusion and tension.

"Brother Leopard's place is just ahead! We'll be there soon!"

"I know that woman."

Qin Luo stared in the direction from which the gunshots came, his tone resolute.

"I have to save her!"

"what?!"

Qiangzi was stunned, and then his face turned extremely ugly.

“Mr. Qin! Didn’t you see? Those are Cha Meng’s men! There are at least twenty of them! And they’re all armed! Cha Meng is the most powerful local tyrant here! Brother Leopard’s place can operate smoothly only because of the huge protection fees he pays every year! We can’t afford to offend him! It’s better to avoid trouble…”

"She's my friend!"

Qin Luo interrupted him, her eyes sharp as knives.

"Even if we can't save someone we know, we have to save them! That's our principle! Open the door!"

Seeing the unwavering determination and chilling light in Qin Luo's eyes, Qiangzi knew that further persuasion would be useless.

He sighed heavily and nodded helplessly to the driver. The car pulled over.

Qin Luo pushed open the car door and was about to get out.

"Mr. Qin! Wait!"

Qiangzi quickly pulled out a pistol, an AK47 assault rifle, and two spare magazines from under his seat and shoved them over.

"Take this for self-defense!"

Qin Luo glanced at the cold, deadly weapon and shook his head.

"I don't know how to use it; holding it would just be a burden."

He is proficient in ancient martial arts and combat, but modern firearms are not his forte.

Moreover, the reason he didn't get out of the car immediately upon seeing Ai Yiqian was that he didn't want to involve Xu Tianbao's men and avoid a direct conflict between them and Cha Meng.

Getting off the bus now is also an act in an individual capacity.

"Then be careful! After you've settled things here, come to the casino to find Brother Leopard as soon as possible!"

Qiangzi watched Qin Luo jump out of the car and disappear into the darkness. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including worry and a hint of sincere admiration. Knowing that it was a dangerous place, he was willing to go for his friend without hesitation. This courage and loyalty moved him.

Qin Luo's figure moved like a ghost, silently slipping into the alley where the gunshots had rang out in a few leaps.

The alleyway was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Using the dim light in the distance, Qin Luo spotted Ai Yiqian huddled deep in the alley, hiding behind a rusty iron barrel about half a person's height!
She slumped to the ground, her back against the cold, damp wall, her face ashen, her breathing rapid and weak.

Her left hand was pressed tightly against the outside of her left thigh, and blood was gushing out from between her fingers, staining her dark pants and pooling on the ground in a glaring dark red.

His right hand hung limply at his sides, the black pistol he held still emitting wisps of smoke from its muzzle.

Her eyes began to glaze over, her vision blurred, and a strong sense of dizziness kept washing over her.

She had been shot for more than ten minutes, and the continuous blood loss was rapidly taking away her strength and consciousness.

She knew she had to stop the bleeding, but she had no first-aid supplies on her.

Even more despairing was the sight of seven or eight fully armed thugs with AKs and fierce eyes looming over the only exit of the alley! Four unfortunate souls, killed by Ai Yiqian in her dying counterattack, lay sprawled on the ground.

With the exit blocked, no hope of reinforcements, and blood loss continuing... Ai Yiqian felt her life slipping away bit by bit, her consciousness like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

She could even clearly hear her heart beating weaker and weaker.

The thugs at the alley entrance were also wary of Ai Yiqian's accurate marksmanship. Although they knew she was injured, they were unsure of the severity of her injuries and dared not rush in easily. The two sides were locked in a brief standoff.

In this deathly silent yet murderous moment!

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Several extremely faint yet sharp and piercing sounds of wind breaking suddenly rang out!
The seven or eight thugs at the alley entrance, who were nervously watching the alleyway inside, suddenly froze!
They instinctively clutched their necks, their eyes wide with horror! Hidden deep in their throats were rows of gleaming, willow-leaf-shaped throwing knives! The blades were completely embedded, leaving only the hilts visible!
Blood gushed out from between his fingers like a fountain!
They couldn't even scream; they could only gasp for breath, their eyes filled with unbelievable terror. Their bodies felt as if their bones had been removed, and they collapsed limply to the ground, twitching a few times before falling silent.

In their dying moments, through their blurred vision, they saw only a tall figure in a black tracksuit, like a grim reaper emerging from hell, taking steady steps, step by step, over their corpses, slowly walking from the darkness across the street into this alleyway that exuded an aura of death.

The person who arrived was none other than Qin Luo!
He didn't even glance at the corpses on the ground, but walked straight to Ai Yiqian, who was curled up behind the iron barrel, and squatted down.

At this moment, Ai Yiqian had completely lost consciousness, her head tilted limply to one side, and her breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

Cold sweat soaked her temples and clung tightly to her pale cheeks.

Qin Luo's heart clenched suddenly!
He quickly extended his fingers and placed them on Ai Yiqian's slender wrist.

A faint, yet persistent, pulse could be felt at my fingertips!
Thank goodness! He's still alive! He's just in shock due to excessive blood loss!
Qin Luo breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling half of his anxiety lifted.

Just as Qin Luo was checking Ai Yiqian's pulse.

"Boom! Boom!"

The roar of the engine grew louder as it approached!

Two modified Hummer H2s, resembling steel monsters, and three pickup trucks equipped with machine guns, exuding an aura of arrogance and dominance, kicked up clouds of dust and sped towards the alley entrance.

With a screech, the brakes came to a sudden stop!

The car door opened, and more than twenty burly, fully armed men with a menacing aura jumped out! Each carried an AK47 or M16 automatic rifle, the dark muzzles pointing in all directions! Two people got out of the lead Humvee.

The man on the left was a full 1.9 meters tall, with dark, shiny skin, as if cast in iron. He was extremely thin, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes, but his gaze was as sharp and sinister as a hawk's, revealing cruelty and violence.

He was dressed in camouflage combat uniform, with two large-caliber pistols tucked into his waistband. He was none other than Cha Meng, the most powerful and feared local tyrant in the area!

The man on the right is dressed in a relatively well-tailored casual suit, his hair is neatly combed, and he wears gold-rimmed glasses. He looks refined and cultured, but the eyes behind the lenses are full of resentment and coldness.

It was none other than Wei Junwu, whom Qin Luo was on his way to hunt down!

"What about people?!"

Cha Meng looked at the corpses of his men lying haphazardly at the alley entrance, his face instantly turning so gloomy it could drip water, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper were being rubbed.

A scout came running over, stumbling and scrambling, his voice trembling.

"Meng...Brother Meng! That...that policewoman is gone! Our men...are all dead!"

"Gone? They're all dead?"

Cha Meng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he kicked the henchman to the ground.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! You couldn't even catch an injured woman?! And you all got wiped out?!"
Can she fly?!

"Brother Meng! He's really... really gone! We've searched the area, but we can't find him..." The henchman trembled with fear.

At this moment, Wei Junwu pushed up his glasses and spoke in a sinister tone.

"Brother Meng, this woman is no simpleton. She managed to kill so many of your brothers on your turf and escape wounded... She might not be so easy to catch. Perhaps... she has an inside man helping her?"

He glanced meaningfully in the direction of Xu Tianbao's casino.

Cha Meng frowned, clearly having considered this possibility as well.

Just then, another henchman dragged over a middle-aged man dressed in local clothing who was terrified and looked pale.

"Brother Meng! Brother Meng! We've found a witness! He lives nearby!"

Cha Meng grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar and demanded an explanation in Burmese.

The middle-aged man was terrified. He pointed into the alley and then across the street in the direction of Xu Tianbao's casino, speaking incoherently in a mix of Burmese and broken Chinese.

"Look... I saw him! A Chinese man in black! He was amazing! He used... he used throwing knives! Swish swish swish! He killed them all! And then... then he carried the injured woman... and ran... that way!"

His trembling finger pointed directly in the direction of Xu Tianbao's casino.

"That man in black... he... got out of that car!"

He then pointed to the spot where the SUV Qin Luo had just been in had been parked.

"That...that's Brother Qiang's car! One of Xu Tianbao's men!"

"Qiangzi's car? Xu Tianbao's men?!"

Cha suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the brightly lit casino in the distance like a venomous snake, and a violent killing intent instantly spread out!
He abruptly shoved the middle-aged man away, his teeth grinding together, squeezing out a chilling sound from between them.

"Xu Tianbao... Fine! Very well! You eat my food and then smash my pot! You dare to save the person I'm trying to arrest? I think you're tired of living!!"

The cold throwing knife still carried the scent of blood, but Qin Luo's gaze had already shifted from the corpse at the alley entrance to the unconscious Ai Yiqian in his arms.

Her face was deathly pale, her breathing so weak it was almost imperceptible, and the gauze on her injured left leg was soaked with blood. Time was of the essence!
Without any hesitation, he used his strength to lift Ai Yiqian steadily into his arms.

Her body was very light and cold from excessive blood loss.

Qin Luo's figure flickered, like a ghost blending into the night, and he quickly retreated into the darkness deeper into the alley with Ai Yiqian in his arms. After a few turns, he completely disappeared into the intricate alleyways.

where to go?
Xu Tianbao's casino was not far away, brightly lit, seemingly the most direct refuge.

But Qin Luo avoided that direction without the slightest hesitation.

His eyes were as cold and icy.

Ai Yiqian offended Cha Meng, the most powerful local tyrant in this area!
Her identity is even more sensitive for a Chinese police officer! Once she is taken to Xu Tianbao's territory, the news will not be able to escape the notice of Cha Meng's extensive network of informants.

Although Xu Tianbao had been operating in this area for many years and had his own local power, facing a warlord like Cha Meng, who had deep roots, head-on confrontation would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

Qin Luo knew that he had come here to seek revenge, and he absolutely could not drag his friends into an abyss of no return because of his actions.

Xu Tianbao treated him with sincerity, and he could not repay kindness with ingratitude.

His gaze swept across the chaotic neighborhood like that of a hawk.

The distant commotion of Cha Meng's men could be faintly heard, and the pursuit could escalate at any moment.

He needed a temporary, absolutely safe place to stay.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto a building diagonally across the street, about two hundred meters away from the site of the fierce battle.

It was a detached three-story villa, standing out from the surrounding low and dilapidated buildings.

The walls are high, the iron gates are tightly closed, and there are even carefully trimmed flower and tree outlines inside the yard.

Most importantly, two burly security guards, dressed in matching black uniforms and carrying AK47 assault rifles, stood prominently on either side of the villa's entrance!
They looked wary, constantly scanning the dark corners around them.

To own such a villa in this lawless area, complete with armed guards, its owner must be either extremely wealthy or powerful, and undoubtedly a figure of considerable influence in the local community.

In such places, Cha Meng's men dared not venture in recklessly, at least they could buy precious time!
That's it!

Qin Luo, carrying Ai Yiqian, stealthily made his way to a shadowy spot opposite the villa.

He gently put Ai Yiqian down and let her lean against the cold corner of the wall.

Her breathing was still weak, but her pulse was still beating stubbornly.

"wait for me."

Qin Luo murmured, his sharp gaze locking onto the two armed security guards at the door.

He didn't choose to force his way through. He bent down and picked up two hard stones, about the size of eggs, from the ground covered with rubble.

After weighing it for a moment, Qin Luo's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force on his wrist!

"Huh! Huh!"

Two faint yet sharp whooshing sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
As if guided by precision, the two pebbles traced two almost invisible trajectories and struck the two security guards in the temples with unparalleled accuracy!
"Uh!"

Two short, muffled hums were emitted almost simultaneously.

The two security guards froze abruptly, their eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment. Before they could even react, everything went black, and they collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Qin Luo acted with great restraint, only stunning the victim without taking his life.

He didn't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed here and invite even more trouble.
