Chapter 70

Lao Wu did not notice the abnormal expression on Xiao Chen's face. He poked his head out and then pulled back, leaning against the tombstone, cursing, "Damn, I wonder which grandson was just buried here. It wasn't here the day before yesterday!"

Upon hearing Lao Wu's words, Xiao Chen's expression turned even colder, but he reined in his murderous intent. It wasn't the right time to act yet!

Moreover, a thought struck him. These four bandits had been here two days ago?

That meant they had the chance to leave, so why did they wait until today?

Did they want to pull off one more heist before leaving?

Or did they have another purpose?

"I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender, or else..."

Bang!

Before the negotiator could finish his sentence, the bearded man, hiding behind a large tree, poked out his AK-47 and pulled the trigger at the distant police car.

Crack!

The bullet shattered the flashing police light on a car, sending debris flying. The surrounding police quickly ducked to avoid injury.

"If you don't care about the hostages' lives, you can't ignore your own, can you?"

The bearded man said coldly, taking out a remote control-like electronic device from his waist.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the device. A high-explosive bomb detonator? How did they get this thing?!

"I've buried twelve high-explosive bombs around here. Just a light press of the remote, and this area will turn into ruins!"

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the bearded man's words. Twelve high-explosive bombs? Real or fake? Why didn't he notice anything before?

But thinking about his state of mind earlier, he sighed. He hadn't been in the mood to pay attention to his surroundings!

Let alone a few bombs, even if there were a pile of bombs, he wouldn't have cared to check if they were real.

The police were equally shocked. The bandits had buried bombs?

"Sniper, can you see what the guy is holding?"

The female police officer's face turned grim as she asked.

"High-explosive bomb detonator, it's real!"

A sniper quickly reported back.

The female police officer's face turned even grimmer. If there were really twelve high-explosive bombs nearby, they had walked right into a trap!

Originally, they were the hunters, but now?

Who was the hunter?

If they hadn't pursued so closely, if the bearded man and his gang hadn't thought the hostages were useless, if they hadn't revealed the bombs...

Once the bearded man and his gang escaped and pressed the detonator, the scene... Han Yifei didn't dare to imagine!

So, from beginning to end, they had been led step by step into this dangerous area by these four bandits!

They had turned from hunters into prey!

And the four bandits were the final hunters!

Imagine the police suffering heavy losses, with at least half of them dead!

No, the special forces would also be coming, and they would be prey too...

Once the explosion happened, it would be a shocking national event!

Han Yifei was almost driven mad. What were these bandits trying to do?

"If you don't believe me, you can dig under that large tree over there. There's a high-explosive bomb buried there!"

The bearded man's voice came again, tinged with reluctance. If he could escape, he wouldn't have revealed the bombs but would have planned to kill a large number of police and special forces!

Now, to ensure a safe escape, he had to abandon this crazy idea!

Han Yifei signaled, and two police officers went to dig. In no time, they exposed the bomb underneath!

The surrounding police all drew a sharp breath. There really were bombs?

Many police officers' faces turned pale. This was like dancing on the edge of a knife!

Some police officers subconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to stay farther from the bombs, fearing that these bandits might be so ruthless as to detonate the bombs in a last-ditch effort!

"Captain Han, what should we do?"

"Retreat 500 meters according to their demands, and contact the armed helicopters to speed up!" Han Yifei gritted her teeth. "No matter what, we can't let these guys escape; it's too dangerous!"

"Okay!"

"Snipers, continue to cover from the high points, look for opportunities, and wait for my orders!"

"Yes!"

"Captain Shao, contact the bomb disposal experts..."

"Okay!"

On one side, the police responded, while on the other, the four bandits sneered!

"Too bad we can't blow up these police..."

Lao Wu pointed his gun at Xiao Chen's head, watching the retreating police, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"Prepare to withdraw... once we get on the speedboat, we'll put on diving gear and submerge. The helicopters and special forces should be here soon!"

The bearded man glanced at his watch and said coldly.

Xiao Chen's eyes twitched again. These four bandits were no ordinary criminals... especially the bearded man, who was incredibly professional, even timing everything perfectly!

Bang!

Suddenly, another sniper shot rang out, a bullet hitting the tombstone.

The faces of the four bandits changed. The police had some tough guys too, still trying to intimidate them at this point?

"Damn, I heard this operation was led by a girl... next time we return to Longhai, I'll strip her naked and do her ten times, I love uniforms and seduction!" The thin man cursed.

"Less talk, let's focus on escaping!"

The bearded man said, slightly poking his head out from behind the tree to look around. He could sense that there were at least ten snipers covering the area!

To safely withdraw, the snipers had to back off; otherwise, they had no chance!

"You listen, I hope you release the hostages first... I'll have everyone retreat!"

Han Yifei's voice echoed from the perimeter.

"Pull back the snipers too, don't take me for a fool!" The bearded man shouted coldly. "If the snipers are still there, I'll kill the hostage... if we can't escape, we'll all go down together!"

"Okay, the snipers can withdraw, but you better not harm the hostages..."

Han Yifei was at a loss. These bandits were too perceptive, even noticing the snipers!

Several shadows moved, and the snipers began to withdraw.

"Captain Han, we should wait for the armed helicopters and special forces! With our current equipment, we can't take them down immediately... if they detonate the bombs, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Han Yifei's beautiful face was filled with frustration. In the current situation, even the special forces wouldn't be able to do much!

"Also, this area is where prominent figures from Longhai City are buried. If the bombs explode, their graves will be affected, and we won't be able to explain to their families..." Captain Shao added.

"Damn!"

Han Yifei cursed. Since she started her career, when had she ever been so constrained? Not only did she have to care about the hostages' safety, but also the graves of the dead?

"Boss, they've all retreated, we should withdraw too!"

Lao Wu cautiously poked his head out from behind the tombstone, carefully observing, and shouted to the bearded man behind the tree.

"Right, prepare to withdraw. Once we're on the speedboat and in diving gear, the armed helicopters won't be a threat!"

The bearded man nodded. Despite the unexpected developments, they could still retreat safely.

"Damn, too bad we can't blow up these police to avenge our brothers!" Lao Wu cursed, kicking the tombstone in frustration.

The tombstone, which had just been erected, wobbled, and even the marble base cracked a bit.

"Do you know who is buried here?"

Xiao Chen, seeing the black footprint on the white tombstone, finally couldn't suppress his murderous intent and asked in a low voice.

Lao Wu was taken aback and shook his head instinctively, "I don't know..."

"Let me tell you, my brother, my comrade, is buried here... today is the day he rests in peace, and you come to disturb him, so..."

Xiao Chen's voice grew colder, and a murderous aura began to spread.

Lao Wu sensed the murderous intent and was startled, instinctively trying to pull the trigger to blow the head off this dangerous drunkard!

But Xiao Chen didn't give him the chance!

His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Lao Wu's throat: "So... you all must die!"

Crack!

Xiao Chen crushed Lao Wu's throat, and his body trembled, his eyes rolled back, and he died!

His eyes were filled with terror, unable to understand how this seemingly harmless drunkard could instantly become a death god, ending his life!

His face was filled with regret, his mouth wide open, trying to scream, but no sound came out!

He wanted to pull the trigger, just a light pull, and he could blow the drunkard's head off...

But he had no strength to pull the trigger, feeling himself fall into endless darkness and cold.

Xiao Chen held Lao Wu's neck, not letting go, but supporting his body and pulling out the dagger from his waist.

There were still three bandits, and he had to silently take out one more to ensure success!

The opportunity had arrived!

Lao Liux, with an injured arm, slowly stood up from behind a rock, and his position was in a blind spot from the bearded man and the thin man!

So, Xiao Chen decided, the second target would be him!

Swish!

Xiao Chen flicked his wrist, and the dagger flashed!

Thud!

Before Lao Liux could react, the dagger pierced his throat, the force so great that the blade came out the back of his neck!

Lao Liux's body wobbled, his eyes bulging, and he died without understanding where the dagger came from!

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, and Lao Liux's body fell to the ground!

"Trouble!"

Unexpectedly, the bearded man's intuition was too sharp. Almost simultaneously, he sensed the abnormality and intense murderous intent!

Without hesitation, he aimed his AK-47 at Xiao Chen and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

Bullets hit Lao Wu's body, and Xiao Chen picked up the AK-47 from the ground and began to counterattack.

"Lao Wu, Lao Liux!"

The bearded man roared, his face twisted in rage, pulling out a grenade and throwing it over.

Xiao Chen instinctively wanted to dive out of the way, but then thought, if the grenade exploded, Old Su's grave would be turned to ruins!
