It was quiet amid the darkness.
So quiet that they could hear their own breathing as if there was no one there or…
… There was a wild beast that was waiting to pounce on them.
Bai Muchuan waited quietly for a moment, beckoning the rest to get ready.
He didn’t believe that the small light spot was his own illusion.
This time, he kicked the door.
“Open the door! If you don’t, I’ll shoot!”
The gun seemed to have a cold glint in the dark night.
His gaze was sharp and stood in his range.
However, the one inside remained silent, as if they had never heard anything.
Bai Muchuan pulled his collar while his eyes narrowed—
Bang! He kicked the door and immediately moved out to safety.
Boom! At the same time, an air current together with thick smoke came from the office…
An explosion? Bai Muchuan stood near the entrance.
A few of them who were further away from the door showed horrified expressions at that sight.
“Boss! Run!”
Bai Muchuan rolled and tumbled to the ground and hid behind a wall.
“Take cover!”
The dust from the ceiling rained on them.
He coughed and fanned with his hand. However, there wasn’t any explosion. Something’s amiss!
Bai Muchuan was startled. “Flashlight!”
They turned on their flashlight and shone at the entrance.
The smoke gradually dissipated.
It was just a smoke bomb.
Bai Muchuan held his breath and slowly approached the office, his hands gripping the gun. He waved and led them inside. The flashlight shone around the place, and they saw Xie —she was tied up and was crouching like a big prawn. Her mouth was gagged; her face was also full of dust and seemed alarmed.
“Xie Wanwan?
“Where’s that person?
“Where is the other fellow?”
Everyone was asking that, but Xie Wanwan, whose mouth was gagged, couldn’t answer them.
“Hmm… Hmm…”
Bai Muchuan’s neck suffered a wound earlier, and some blood oozed out of it. He walked closer, looking all cold and grim, he seemed like he was coming to escort spirits down to hell.
He removed the cloth stuffed into Xie Wanwan’s mouth. “Where’s that person?”
Xie Wanwan panted and gasped for breath. She moved a little and looked towards a cracked glass window not too far away.
“Over there—”
This place was huge and used to be an office. Everything inside had been emptied. When one talked in there, they could hear echoes.
Bai Muchuan walked swiftly to that window.
Peering out, he saw a figure crawling down the pipe on the wall, fast…
He raised his gun. “Bang!”
He shot at that man.
He missed!
Bang! He fired again!
That man let out a muffled scream; his body paused for a moment and slid down the pipe even faster.
“He’s hurt!” Ding Yifan remarked.
Bai Muchuan’s gaze was gloomy. “Chase him!”
He then quickly returned his gun while both of his hands were on the window sill as he leaped out of the window.
“Boss!”
Everyone was shocked to see that.
“Hurry up and chase him!” Bai Muchuan instructed in a stern tone, “Don’t let him slip!”
He quickly mimicked the man and slid down the pipe…
Sliding down the pipe from such a tall building without a safety rope was no different from fiddling with their lives. Fortunately, Dihao Towers was a relatively old building that had pipes to hold and large window sills big enough to rest their legs on… Even so, the crowd was horrified.
Ding Yifan waved his hand. “Quick! Chase!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Tang Yuanchu quickly freed Xie Wanwan and brought her out.
The rest of them ran down the stairs as fast as they could.
Soon, they encountered the Special Police Force as well as Bai Muxuan and his Red Thorn team.
Bai Muxuan was fully armed, as well as his team. They heard the gunshots at ground level. When Bai Muxuan didn’t see Bai Muchuan with the detectives, his expression changed. “Where’s your Captain Bai?”
After Ding Yifan told them what happened, Bai Muxuan turned and ran away.
“Quick! Chase!”
…
This incident made Dihao Towers a point of interest.
The explosion of the smoke bomb and the few fired gunshots disrupted the quiet night.
People, whether nearby or faraway, flocked to see what was happening.
The people in Dihao Towers also knew that something had happened.
Some were filming or taking pictures; some didn’t heed the police’s warnings and wanted to rush in…
Those who were spectating were always more than those who were doing something.
When Bai Muxuan finally managed to rush out of the crowd, he went to the back of Dihao Towers, where he saw a pool of blood on the ground.
“Over there…”
“Chase there!”
There were fresh blood trails to follow.
When they entered the opposite alley, they saw that Bai Muchuan had already pinned the suspect on the ground.
“Tch! Ouch, ouch, ouch!”
Bai Muchuan had already pinned both of the man’s arms onto his back. Since he was shot in the arm, he was howling in pain.
Bai Muchuan was silent. He flipped over the man lying on the ground and brushed his long hair aside, covering his forehead before giving a few unfriendly pats on his face.
“Are you the one who shot us?”
The blood from the man’s arm dyed his clothing red. His face was so drained of color that it could send a chill to anyone who saw him.
He was looking at Bai Muchuan in horror. He only gasped and moaned in pain.
“Say something!” Bai Muchuan lifted the man’s arms and searched him.
They found no weapons with him.
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows. “You don’t want to talk? You want to be a hero?”
He lifted the man up slowly and let him fall.
Flop!
That man wailed in pain. “I’ll talk… I’ll talk!”
He looked miserable; he was covered with blood and was gasping in pain as he spoke. “It’s not me, not me… I didn’t shoot anyone… No, I didn’t even have a gun…”
“Who did it then? Where is that person?”
“I… I don’t know…”
“Still don’t want to tell the truth?”
“Detective, I really, really don’t know…” The man gulped and took out a stack of money from his pocket with his trembling hands. “I’m just there to steal, to steal…”
He was a thief.
He originally wanted to steal something.
In the end, he met another man who claimed to be a thief like him.
“He gave me a lot of money and asked me to help him tie up… tie up his girlfriend…”
“Girlfriend?”
“It’s that, that woman… he told me that they quarreled and his girlfriend wanted to break up with him. He came out with this trick… that I’ll pretend to be the kidnapper… so he could come to rescue her… and win her heart back… and I’m supposed to run away…”
“And you agreed, just like that?”
“He said that he would give me, give me money after this…”
This became an awkward situation.
This man totally didn’t seem to know what was happening.
The other party tricked him into tying up Xie Wanwan, but he didn’t harm her.
It seemed that by shooting Bai Muchuan, it actually created a cover for himself to leave…
Otherwise, he couldn’t have left so calmly before Bai Muchuan arrived.
“But why did he do that?”
Just why?
Bai Muchuan pulled his collar open since he felt that his breathing wasn’t smooth.
“Cough, cough… cough…” He had not yet recovered from his cold. Since the thief ran fast, he had to run quicker, and he realized that his throat was feeling very uncomfortable.
After coughing for a while, he frowned as he wiped his mouth then turned around to the detectives. “Put a blockade around Dihao Towers and set up traffic checkpoints around the area…”
“Yes, Sir!”
Bai Muchuan then looked toward Bai Muxuan.
“There’s nothing else to do here. Go get busy!”
When Bai Muxuan found him, he had a worried expression on his face. At that moment, he had relaxed.
“Alright!” He nodded. “I’ll go to Dihao Towers!”
While he was about to turn away, he saw something on Bai Muchuan’s hand.
“Your hand…”
