Chapter 437: Did We Really See a Ghost?
Lin Feng had not spent much time since he left the villa until now, and it seemed inconceivable that he could so quickly determine it was Ruan Jun who had acted. It should be known that the Great South Gang had already sprung into action, and only in such a short time did they manage to find out the news, but he... he had already pried the truth out of the mouths of Ruan Jun’s men. How on earth did he track it down? His individual efficiency was, incredibly, even greater than that of the entire Great South Gang...
However, since Lin Feng had also determined with certainty that it was Ruan Jun who had done it, there was no doubt Ruan Jun was the one who moved. But she had already arranged for the men of the Great South Gang to continue to search for Ruan Jun’s whereabouts with all their might; only now, there was still no news. What... what should she do!
With this in mind, Qian Duoduo asked Lin Feng very anxiously, hoping that Lin Feng would have information about Ruan Jun’s whereabouts. As long as they found Ruan Jun, things would be easy. No matter what, they had to drag him out and then capture him for the organization, to skin him alive and set off a sky lantern to commemorate the brothers who had died!
"I’ve already found out his location. He’s at an abandoned warehouse district in the Western Outskirt of Tianhai! If nothing goes wrong, he’s probably planning to hide for a while. I’m on my way there now, trying to capture him!" Lin Feng told Qian Duoduo everything he knew. He understood her anger completely; he would feel the same if he were in her position. After hanging up the phone, he drove off into the night, leaving only the dim afterglow of two barely visible taillights...
"I will immediately muster my men and head over. If I don’t annihilate him, I am not Qian Duoduo!" Upon hearing it was Ruan Jun, Qian Duoduo froze momentarily, but then the thought of so many innocent people and members of the organization having died in the Fortune God Bar and Ji Yunlong’s current disappearance made her heart grow colder. She had to have Ruan Jun torn to pieces no matter what. After hanging up, she took out her own phone and dialed a number.
"Old Eleven, you three go to an abandoned warehouse district in the Western Outskirt of Tianhai right away! The target is Ruan Jun, whom you all recognize. He’s the real culprit behind the bombing of the Fortune God Bar. You must capture him alive and bring him back to the gang’s headquarters. I want him skinned alive and used for a sky lantern to commemorate our fallen brothers!" Qian Duoduo spoke with an unusually icy tone, causing Chu Meng beside her to feel extremely uncomfortable. Qian Duoduo didn’t bother being polite and directly ordered three people from ’Blood Thirteen Guards’ to take care of Ruan Jun.
"Boss, understood!" The person on the other end of the phone acknowledged her orders and then hung up.
Qian Duoduo was still wondering if Ji Yunlong was alive. If he was, that would be great; Tianhai still needed him to take control. Now that the bar had been bombed, there were too many complications, a real headache...
Qian Duoduo spent the entire night troubled by the incident at the bombed bar. The incident would surely be reported nationwide, with many dead and wounded, and the subsequent work on how to handle it was so headache-inducing that when she arrived at Chu Meng’s place, Qian Duoduo was constantly thinking about these issues and kept in touch with people to deal with them.
...
After arranging the bombing of the Fortune God Bar, Ruan Jun disappeared from the Black Panther bar because he knew that once the Fortune God Bar exploded, it was still possible for the Great South Gang to pick up on some clues, and to prevent any mishaps, he ran off and hid in the base in the Western Outskirt of Tianhai.
After Ruan Jun got to the base, he went straight into the specially designed surveillance room. The surveillance room was considered unique because the chair inside it was actually connected to an escape tunnel. With just the press of a button, he could quickly leave the surveillance room and avoid danger.
Now, Ruan Jun was leisurely drinking red wine, smoking a cigar, and waiting for the news that Black Panther had killed all of Qian Duoduo’s people. He even felt bored and directly pulled up an action movie from his computer, watching with keen interest. Not bad! Not bad!
When Lin Feng drove up to the abandoned warehouse, he immediately caught the attention of all the lookouts, who then reported it through walkie-talkies to Ruan Jun in the surveillance room.
"Boss! Someone’s driven up here!" On top of the warehouse, the lookout was very puzzled. In the middle of the night, why would a car suddenly come out to this wilderness? There had been no word of any drug trafficking cars coming recently. Moreover, the most important point was that they had never seen this particular car before; it was a completely unfamiliar vehicle.
"A car’s come? What kind of car?" Ruan Jun was in a good mood, and he had not expected a car to suddenly arrive at this place. This location was where he hid his drugs, and ordinary people had no business coming here, especially not in the middle of the night. And after Ruan Jun thought carefully, he confirmed there was no drug dealing scheduled for these two days, so what could this car possibly be?
"A black car, never seen the license plate before; it’s not one of ours," replied the lookout with certainty, as the license plate was distinctly recognizable, definitely not one of their own.
"No need for idle talk, if you see a stranger get out later, just shoot and kill them!" Ruan Jun said casually, regarding it as some unwitting soul who had wandered in to die; without any greetings, they’d come here to die and might as well be dragged out back to feed to the dogs.
"Understood!" The rooftop leader, having heard the instructions, knew what to do and quickly used the walkie-talkie to alert the other ambushers: as soon as the car’s occupants got out, if they weren’t one of their own, shoot to kill at once! Having received their orders, everyone tensely trained their guns, watching the car’s every move, ready to shoot whoever came out at any moment.
The commotion over the walkie-talkie also woke everyone in the warehouse, who, upon hearing that strangers were invading, immediately roused those resting inside. They picked up their guns and ran to their assigned positions, aiming at the doorway and ready to open fire at any moment.
The entire warehouse, not just the exterior firing points, but also the interior ones, were all specially designed by experts. Moreover, all the gunmen were specially trained by Ruan Jun from recruits from the Golden Triangle. While their marksmanship may not be that of a sharpshooter, it was definitely top-notch; thus, they were quite confident that no one could escape from under their guns.
As Lin Feng drove towards the derelict warehouse, he already felt the danger. As soon as he entered the area, he was pinpointed by many people. Therefore, Lin Feng parked his car a safe distance from the warehouse, a distance from which he could handle any emergencies, and just by looking at the old warehouse, he felt something was amiss. It definitely was not the dilapidated building no one visited; it was likely filled with people. It seemed that Ruan Jun was indeed there.
"Fire!" Just as he had gotten out of the car, the leader of the gunmen ambushed on the warehouse roof spotted that Lin Feng was an unfamiliar face. He didn’t hesitate to follow Ruan Jun’s arrangements and immediately gave the order to shoot, aiming to kill Lin Feng as if he were a target for their weapon practice!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
...
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire and bullets whizzing through the air filled the surroundings, countless bullets covering the spot where Lin Feng had just stood like a downpour, kicking up a cloud of dust as they hit the ground!
"Fuck! Where the hell is he?"
"I just saw him, where did he go?"
"Is he a human or a ghost?"
...
The gunmen lying in wait on the rooftop were immediately startled. They hadn’t expected that at the moment of firing, their target would vanish from their line of sight. What the fuck was going on, was he man or ghost, and how could he just disappear all of a sudden? If it weren’t for the car still being there, they would never have believed someone had actually been there just moments before. This... this was just too unbelievable, where on earth had he run off to!
Little did they know, the night was already quite dark, and Lin Feng’s speed had suddenly increased the instant they began firing. He’d moved from where he was just standing, which is why they hadn’t seen how he disappeared.
Everyone was incredibly shocked; they’d never seen a target vanish the instant they fired. But now there was no time for them to ponder. If a stranger got too close, Boss Ruan Jun would definitely explode in anger. With that thought, they immediately intended to continue searching for the target. The situation was too mysterious; they had to find this person and kill him! But just as they were about to move, a strange noise suddenly erupted!
"Boom!"
Hearing this sudden sound, everyone’s head immediately turned towards the direction of the noise, each person wondering inside, what was that sound...
As soon as Lin Feng got out of the car, he sensed danger, not just from one pair of eyes but from multiple gazes locked onto him with murderous intent. At that moment, he casually shifted his body and dashed to the side of the warehouse. All bullets aimed at him missed their mark, and with a cold expression, he jumped right up to the warehouse roof, more than ten meters high.
Upon landing, Lin Feng’s figure shifted once more and disappeared into the darkness...
"What’s with that hole?"
"Yeah! How did a hole suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
"What’s going on?"
After hearing the sound, the people were astonished to see a hole more than two meters in diameter suddenly appear at the side of the warehouse. Struggling to understand, they wondered how such a big hole could appear out of the blue. Could it be someone’s grenade had fallen? That didn’t make sense; there was no one in that spot, so how could there be a grenade? Then what was this...
Looking at the hole, they all felt confused by the situation unfolding before them. The reality of a person who vanished into thin air followed by the sudden appearance of a mysterious hole... what the hell was going on, had they truly seen a ghost?
