Chapter 73

Time slowly passed, and the operation finally began.

Following Liang Wei's command, the investigators left some personnel to guard the perimeter while the rest attacked from the east and west gates according to the plan.

Bang.

The massive iron gates were forcibly broken open, and two teams of investigators stormed in from both sides. Supporting investigators used their abilities to launch several flares into the sky, and several light balls flew up, instantly dispelling the darkness in the area, making the food processing plant as bright as daylight.

"Listen up, you inside, you are surrounded. Drop your weapons; any futile resistance is pointless," an investigator with amplification abilities shouted from outside the food processing plant.

"Damn, Mr. Seven, Mr. Eight, a large number of investigators have come, and we are surrounded. What should we do?" a man panicked and shouted.

The sounds of fighting outside continued, and the specialized personnel from the Ability Management Bureau were making announcements: "Confess and be leniently treated; resist and be severely punished. Any futile resistance is pointless. Surrender and you will be treated leniently!"

Inside the food processing plant, dozens of people gathered, their faces filled with panic.

"Mr. Eight, what should we do? The exits on both sides are sealed off," a subordinate said anxiously.

"Everyone, quickly destroy the documents and break through as fast as you can! Whoever can escape, do so," Mr. Seven suddenly said.

Upon hearing Mr. Seven's order, the members of the Greedy Wolf organization immediately began destroying the scene and set a fire.

Then, Mr. Seven and Mr. Eight led the dozens of elite members to charge out.

As soon as they appeared outside, they encountered the team led by Xie Yurong and Chen Wu, and the investigators immediately surrounded them.

"Everyone, scatter," Mr. Seven ordered, and the Greedy Wolf members immediately fled in all directions.

"Don't let anyone escape," Chen Wu shouted when he saw them running.

"Xiao Xu, go put out the fire in the warehouse," Xie Yurong instructed an investigator after seeing the thick smoke from the warehouse, then she went to intercept the fleeing Greedy Wolf members.

A peak second-stage subordinate knocked an investigator who was blocking his escape and was about to head towards the fence to climb over and escape.

At that moment, he saw a fiery red figure appear beside him. This person, enveloped in a faint flame, was Xie Yurong, who extended her left fist and struck the Greedy Wolf member's head.

The member tried to block, but Xie Yurong's strength was too great. Her fist broke through his arms and struck his head directly.

The impact made him dizzy. He shook his head a few times, trying to clear his blurred vision. Just as he regained some clarity, he saw a long leg coming towards him.

Xie Yurong's right foot struck him, and the subordinate was kicked into the air, then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Bang!

Mr. Eight opened his mouth and created a highly penetrative and powerful air bullet.

The bullet whistled towards Xie Yurong, and with a loud bang, sparks flew.

Xie Yurong's back was hit with a large hole, but no blood appeared. The hole was filled with burning flames.

Xie Yurong turned to look at Mr. Eight, who had ambushed her, and her eyebrows slightly raised. The large hole in her back was immediately filled with flames, and then the flames extinguished, and her body returned to its original state without any wounds.

Bang, bang, bang...

Mr. Eight's mouth rapidly fired a series of air bullets at Xie Yurong, causing sparks to fly from her body.

"Mr. Seven, find a way to escape and report the situation to headquarters. I'll hold them off," Mr. Eight shouted to Mr. Seven after firing a round of air bullets.

"Thinking of escaping? Not today. None of you will leave," Chen Wu said, forming a fist with his right hand and striking the shadow that was Mr. Seven.

Chen Wu's attack created a shockwave that hit the shadow, causing a large part of it to disintegrate.

The shadow around the blank area flowed like water, immediately filling the gap, and everything returned to its original state. An investigator seized the opportunity, rolled to the side, and made his right hand pale, emitting a cold aura.

Frost condensed and rushed towards the shadow, freezing it within seconds. It writhed and twisted under the transparent ice, looking like living oil.

Bang.

Seeing Mr. Seven frozen, Mr. Eight quickly came to his aid. An air bullet struck the ice, shattering it into pieces.

Then, the shadow surged upwards, and Mr. Seven returned to human form.

Mr. Seven looked at the situation and realized it was very dire. Half of the members had already been arrested by the investigators, and the remaining members were still resisting, but it was only a matter of time before they were all captured.

Boom, a loud explosion drew Mr. Seven's attention.

He saw Mr. Eight, who had been fighting Xie Yurong, lying unconscious on the ground. The investigators immediately followed up, using specialized psychic handcuffs to cuff Mr. Eight's hands.

"We can't delay any longer," Mr. Seven thought.

Everyone saw Mr. Seven leap high into the air and transform into a black shadow in mid-air.

Boom.

With a painful scream, the shadow exploded in mid-air, scattering into countless fragments.

"Careless! This guy used this method to escape," Chen Wu said angrily.

"Investigators with perception abilities, quickly search and see which direction he went," Xie Yurong commanded.

The perception investigators quickly dispersed. After a while, everyone except Mr. Seven was captured.

"We found a clue. Mr. Seven fled towards the west district," an investigator reported to Chen Wu.

"We'll chase him!" Chen Wu immediately said to the investigator.

...

Lin Fei put the last octopus ball from the box into his mouth and threw the box into the nearby trash can. He looked at the bustling tourists on the street and thought, "No matter the season, famous food spots are always crowded!"

"Lin Fei, what are you looking at?" Zhou Yue's voice came from behind.

"Nothing, just daydreaming," Lin Fei said, coming back to his senses.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Wang Xiaoru said.
