"Zhao Ming, you really can't escape this time. We need to think of another way."

Another voice rang out: "No, I've lost contact with anyone outside. We have to wait here for reinforcements."

"But it's not safe here. The police will find us sooner or later."

"Don't worry, they won't dare to make any rash moves. Unless they want this warehouse to become their graveyard."

Su Ting's heart skipped a beat; it seemed Zhao Ming had indeed set a trap. He signaled his team to prepare for battle, then slowly approached the source of the sound.

"Get ready, wait for my signal and we'll move out together," Su Ting said in a low voice.

The team members nodded in acknowledgment and each found a concealed position. Su Ting gently pushed open the door a crack and saw a spacious room, barely illuminated by a few dim light bulbs. Zhao Ming was sitting at a worn-out table, with two henchmen holding guns standing beside him.

Su Ting took a deep breath, then kicked the door open and rushed in: "Everyone, squat down! Put down your weapons!"

Zhao Ming looked up abruptly, a flicker of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, a cold smile playing on his lips: "I didn't expect you to come here. Too bad you're too late."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a flash of light appeared beside his hand, followed by a deafening explosion. The room instantly filled with thick smoke, and Su Ting and his team members were all knocked to the ground by the shockwave.

"Captain! Are you alright?" Lin Tao helped Su Ting up and asked with concern.

Su Ting shook his head and steadied himself: "I'm fine, how is everyone?"

Zhang Hao also struggled to his feet: "We're all fine. What about Zhao Ming?"

Su Ting looked around and saw that Zhao Ming had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape. "Chase him! He can't have gone far!"

Chapter 350 A Pungent Smell

"Chase them!" Su Ting ordered through gritted teeth, leading the charge out of the smoke-filled room. The team members followed closely behind, weaving through the chaotic scene.

The basement was filled with dust and smoke from the explosion, and the air was thick with a pungent odor.

Li Jie quickly found an emergency flashlight and illuminated the road ahead. "Go that way!" he shouted, pointing to a narrow passage on the left.

The four of them ran quickly along the corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps ringing in their ears. Suddenly, they heard a soft slamming of a door ahead. Lin Tao immediately stopped. "He must be behind that door."

Su Ting nodded, cautiously approached, and gently pushed the door, only to find it locked from the inside. He glanced back at everyone: "Get ready, I'm going to break in!"

Lin Tao, Zhang Hao, and Li Jie quickly took their positions and prepared for battle.

Su Ting kicked the door hard, and with a loud crash, the door was flung open. They rushed inside and saw Zhao Ming hiding under a table, holding a detonator in his hand, his eyes flashing with madness.

"Don't come any closer! Otherwise I'll detonate the rest of the bombs!" Zhao Ming's voice was hoarse and filled with despair.

Su Ting slowly raised his hands, signaling his team to halt their actions. "Zhao Ming, put down your weapons. We still have a chance to talk," he said, trying to keep his tone calm.

Zhao Ming sneered: "Talk? What's there for me to talk about? You've already ruined everything for me!"

Lin Tao said softly, "Captain, we need a plan."

Su Ting nodded, his mind racing as he considered a solution. "Zhao Ming, your men have all left, and you're all alone. We can offer you a way out."

Zhao Ming's gaze grew even more crazed: "A way out? My only way out is to kill you all! That way, at least I can take a few people with me to hell!"

Zhang Hao whispered to Su Ting, "Captain, could we try to distract him?"

Su Ting nodded, gesturing for Li Jie to quietly move to the other side. Li Jie moved stealthily, trying to avoid making a sound.

Meanwhile, Su Ting continued to negotiate with Zhao Ming: "You know you have no way out, so why are you still struggling? Put down your weapon, and maybe we can help you get leniency in court."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Zhao Ming's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "No! I don't trust anyone! You're all the same! You all want me dead!"

In that instant, Li Jie successfully approached Zhao Ming from behind. He swiftly pounced and slammed Zhao Ming to the ground. The detonator in Zhao Ming's hand fell to the side, making a soft sound.

Su Ting and Zhang Hao immediately rushed forward to help subdue Zhao Ming, and after a fierce struggle, they finally managed to subdue him. Lin Tao, panting heavily, asked, "Captain, is everyone alright?"

Su Ting nodded: "It's alright, just a minor injury. Take Zhao Ming away, we need to leave here immediately to avoid further danger."

Li Jie picked up the detonator and checked it: "This should be the only one; there shouldn't be any danger elsewhere."

Zhang Hao helped Su Ting up Zhao Ming, and asked as they walked, "Zhao Ming, what are you planning to do now?"

Zhao Ming's eyes remained cold, but he seemed to have lost his last strength to resist: "Do whatever you want with me. I knew this day would come."

Su Ting sighed and led his team and Zhao Ming away from the warehouse. They carefully returned to the vehicles and quickly drove away from the ruins.

“We must remain highly vigilant on the way back,” Su Ting said in a deep voice. “Although this operation was successful, we don’t know if Zhao Ming has any backup plans.”

"Understood, Captain." The team members responded in unison, each one tense and warily scanning their surroundings.

Chapter 351 The Latent Crisis

Su Ting drove through a series of dark alleys. The night was as deep as ink, and apart from the occasional bark of a dog, it was eerily quiet.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, but his mind still couldn't calm down.

Zhao Ming has been arrested, but the problems they face are far from over.

Inside the car, Li Jie sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Zhang Hao and Lin Tao sat in the back, occasionally glancing out the window at the surroundings. Zhao Ming, bound hand and foot and gagged, slumped in the back corner, his eyes still filled with coldness and despair.

"Captain, is this route safe?" Lin Tao asked in a low voice.

Su Ting nodded slightly: "It should be fine. I've already contacted them beforehand, and this road has been blocked."

Just as Su Ting finished speaking, the lights ahead suddenly went out, plunging the entire street into complete darkness. Su Ting instinctively slowed down and watched the road ahead warily.

"Something's not right!" Li Jie exclaimed alertly.

Lin Tao quickly took out a flashlight, turned it on, and scanned the surroundings. "Everyone be careful, there might be danger!"

An uneasy feeling filled the car. Suddenly, a dark figure leaped down from the roof on the left, crashing into the windshield with a loud bang.

Everyone was startled, but Su Ting reacted immediately, stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward.

"It's a sniper!" Zhang Hao shouted.

Su Ting quickly drove the car into a side alley, barely maintaining its balance amidst violent shaking. Li Jie drew his gun, preparing to deal with any potential attack. Zhang Hao and Lin Tao also quickly drew their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

Just then, several screeching brakes rang out, and a few motorcycles rushed out of the darkness, quickly surrounding them. The riders were dressed in black combat uniforms, wearing helmets, and carrying pistols; they were clearly prepared.

"They are Zhao Ming's men!" Zhang Hao roared.

Su Ting gritted his teeth and quickly made a judgment. "We can't let them get close, or we'll be in even greater danger!"

Li Jie quickly leaned half his body out of the car window and fired several shots at the enemy on the motorcycle.

Bullets whizzed through the air, hitting one of the motorcycles, which immediately overturned to the ground. The others slowed down in an attempt to create distance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Ting accelerated, rushed out of the side alley, and drove into another small road.

However, more and more enemy figures kept appearing, clearly the result of careful planning. At that moment, Su Ting's phone suddenly rang; it was an urgent call from headquarters.

He pressed the speakerphone button, and a familiar voice came through: "Su Ting, we just received news that Zhao Ming's forces have infiltrated the city, and multiple explosions have occurred simultaneously. You must evacuate to a safe area as soon as possible!"

Su Ting frowned. "Understood, we will leave as soon as possible!"

While the call was in progress, a motorcycle suddenly darted out from the side and crashed directly into the car.

Su Ting instinctively jerked the steering wheel, nearly causing the car to overturn due to inertia. Li Jie seized the opportunity and fired another shot, hitting the motorcyclist who screamed and fell to the ground.

"Quickly, keep going!" Zhang Hao shouted.

Su Ting readjusted the direction and sped towards the city. At this moment, Lin Tao noticed a police car parked on the side of the road ahead. Without hesitation, he got out of his car, ran over quickly, and waved to the police car.

A few minutes later, the police car joined their ranks, and the two vehicles moved side by side. Su Ting saw more and more enemies surging in through his rearview mirror, but he knew they still had a chance.

"Everyone be careful, hold on!" Su Ting said firmly.

Silence fell over the crowd, but each person gripped their weapon tightly, bracing themselves for the unknown challenges ahead. The sirens echoed through the night, offering a faint sense of security.

Chapter 352 A Narrow Escape

The night remained silent, and the road ahead seemed endless. The wailing of sirens and the occasional distant gunshots mingled together, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

"Captain, this can't go on," Li Jie said, frowning. "Their numbers are increasing."

Su Ting took a deep breath, his mind racing as he considered a solution. "We must find a place to hide and then replan our route."

Just as everyone was discussing, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead. To the left was an abandoned factory area, and to the right was a wide avenue, with a few cars faintly visible under the streetlights.

"Turn left!" Su Ting decisively ordered, stepping on the gas pedal, and the car quickly turned into the factory area.

The factory area was eerily quiet, save for the faint moonlight that cast dappled shadows on the ground. The abandoned factory buildings and mountains of waste created a sense of unease.

Lin Tao looked around through the car window. "This place looks good. We can hide here for a while."

"Stop the car," Su Ting ordered.

Everyone immediately got out of the car. Li Jie, holding a flashlight, carefully checked the surroundings. Zhang Hao stood warily beside the car, gripping his gun tightly.

“This place isn’t safe enough; we need to find a more secluded spot,” Zhang Hao said.

Su Ting looked around, his gaze finally settling on an old warehouse. "There's a warehouse there; we can go in and take a look."

The group quickly approached the warehouse door. Lin Tao tried to push the iron door open, only to find it was ajar. Su Ting gestured for everyone to carefully enter the warehouse.

The warehouse was pitch black, the air damp and stifling. Lin Tao's flashlight shone on the wall, casting a dim beam. The group moved forward slowly, their footsteps echoing in the empty space.

"No one should have been here before, so it's safe for now," Li Jie said softly.

Suddenly, a series of deep footsteps came from not far away, and everyone immediately became alert. Su Ting quickly raised his pistol and pointed it in the direction of the sound.
