Urban Martial Saint
Chapter 1301: Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps
The orphanage was built in Eryao Town, and there are three roads leading to Eryao Town. If Su Kaicheng and his people were coming to Eryao Town, they would definitely come through these three roads. So, if Zhao Chengshuang wanted to stop Su Kaicheng and his team, the best way was to block these three roads first.
Zhao Chengshuang ran out of the orphanage, heading straight to the local police station and directly entered Hou Jianshu's room.
Hou Jianshu was leisurely drinking tea and working in his office when suddenly someone pushed the door open, startling him. He was about to curse angrily, but when he saw who it was, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out and looked at Zhao Chengshuang in astonishment, saying, "Director Zhao, you... you're here..."
Zhao Chengshuang was out of breath, but there was no time to rest, urgently saying, "Quick, gather all the people you can call together now!"
"Ah?" Hou Jianshu looked puzzled, saying, "What's happening? How many people do you need?"
"I don't have time to explain to you now, just gather everyone you can!" As Zhao Chengshuang spoke, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed a random number, but still couldn't make the call.
"Damn, even the police station's phone line is down, what a damn terrorist attack!" Zhao Chengshuang muttered and said to Hou Jianshu, "Did you hear me? Get people together, quickly. Remember, once you have the people, block all the roads into town, no one is allowed in, and especially no vehicles are allowed in, understand?"
"Alright, alright, I'll get people now." Hou Jianshu urgently picked up his mobile phone to dial.
"Dial your ass, you don't even check if there's a signal!" Zhao Chengshuang said with a look of frustration, "Quickly go out and yell, where are your people? Where did everyone in the police station go?"
"There's really no signal!" Hou Jianshu was even more surprised, saying, "Director Zhao, don't worry, I'll... I'll go out and gather people now."
"Hurry up, I'm telling you, the people working in your station are not complete. I tell you, if you mess up today, I'm removing you!" Zhao Chengshuang shouted angrily, having no time to waste here, and quickly ran out of the room.
Hou Jianshu was nearly scared to wet himself by Zhao Chengshuang's shouting. Indeed, some people in this station were not diligent. However, generally, nothing happened here, so he didn't pay much attention. Who would have thought he'd be caught by the Deputy Director of the municipal bureau this time? If things escalated, he would really be in trouble.
Hou Jianshu quickly ran out of the office, gathered everyone he could, and arranged for them to block the three roads leading into town. He had too few people, so the arrangement was hardly sufficient; at most, he sent three officers to each entrance, and blocking it was no small difficulty.
Even so, Zhao Chengshuang now had no other options. He could only let these people get busy first, while he rushed into nearby villagers' homes, checking phones one by one to see if he could make calls. The entire town's signals were jammed; he had to find a phone outside quickly to contact reinforcements.
There were many residents in Eryao Town, but few had landlines. Zhao Chengshuang went through more than a dozen households before finding two phones, but both were useless – he simply couldn't get through. It seemed the whole town's phone lines had been cut, making it almost impossible to call out.
"Bastards, they're planning to completely seal off Eryao Town!" Zhao Chengshuang cursed angrily, and as he was feeling distressed, the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly crackled to life.
"Director Zhao, there's trouble." Hou Jianshu's anxious voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"What is it?" Zhao Chengshuang's heart sank immediately; if trouble arose now, it would certainly not be a minor issue.
"Several cars forcefully rushed into Eryao Town from Dao, and we couldn't stop them at all." Hou Jianshu said urgently.
"What?" Zhao Chengshuang's face changed. At this time, whoever was forcing their way into Eryao Town, they were either Su Kaicheng's people or those planning to ambush Su Kaicheng. Regardless of who entered, it was bad news.
"Our officers couldn't stop them at all; they're probably about to enter Eryao Town now." Hou Jianshu said urgently, "Director Zhao, should we go back for support?"
"Of course, that's a given!" Zhao Chengshuang said urgently, "Bring everyone back quickly, but no one is to fire without my orders!"
After putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhao Chengshuang looked back at the orphanage, feeling more anxious. Ye Qing had instructed him to stop Su Kaicheng, but given the current circumstances, it seemed quite tough. Ye Qing was still not clear on what was happening; if it was indeed Su Kaicheng coming in, and Ye Qing hadn't dealt with them yet, it could be dangerous.
Just as Zhao Chengshuang was feeling increasingly anxious, his phone suddenly rang. Zhao Chengshuang was stunned for a moment, looking down at his cellphone, and momentarily forgot what he was supposed to do.
Hasn't the signal in Eryao Town been blocked? How come my phone still has a signal?
Staring blankly for a few seconds, Zhao Chengshuang immediately connected the call, urgently asking, "What happened?"
"The other party should be from the Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps. This time, they're back probably seeking revenge." Ye Qing's voice came from the other end of the call: "Be careful, their target is not only Su Kaicheng but also you."
"What the hell does it have to do with me!" Zhao Chengshuang glared and said.
Ye Qing said, "This case involving the Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps was managed by you. If they come seeking revenge, do you think they might come after you?"
"I…" Zhao Chengshuang's mouth opened wide; this is troublesome. In the case of the Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps, he took most of the credit, which was the main reason for his rapid promotion. Outsiders don't know the truth, and they might really think he dealt with those people. This time the Toxic Eel Mercenary Corps is seeking revenge, so they might very likely target him.
"Find somewhere nearby to hide; whatever you do, don't show your face." Ye Qing said in a deep voice: "I already know their approximate location. I can solve them all within three minutes. Their signal jammer has been broken by me, the signal is now back to normal, call Su Kaicheng immediately, tell them not to enter, and wait until the matter here is resolved before proceeding!"
"I'm afraid…" Zhao Chengshuang looked at the three cars driving down the street and said helplessly, "It's too late to call now."
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked surprised.
The three cars have already stopped at the entrance of the orphanage, and several people got out, including Su Kaicheng.
"Su Kaicheng has already entered." Zhao Chengshuang said helplessly.
"What!?" Ye Qing's voice obviously changed, and after a moment of silence, the call was directly hung up.
Zhao Chengshuang didn't dare hesitate, quickly rushing towards Su Kaicheng, shouting urgently as he ran, "Young Master Su, Young Master Su, go back quickly, go back quickly, don't go to the school, don't enter the orphanage!"
Su Kaicheng and several others had already reached the entrance of the orphanage, hearing the yelling from this side, everyone turned their heads to look. Su Kaicheng looked puzzled, and asked curiously, "Hey, isn't that Director Zhao Chengshuang?"
The person next to him glanced over and said, "Looks like it…"
He just said two words when suddenly a gunshot rang out from afar, and Su Kaicheng fell in response, lying on the ground face up, with blood gushing from his neck.
"Young Master Su! Young Master Su!" The people nearby changed their expressions drastically and hurriedly went to support Su Kaicheng. Some of them were from the same department as Su Kaicheng, and they became even more vigilant, surrounding Su Kaicheng and watching the surroundings cautiously.
Zhao Chengshuang watched helplessly as Su Kaicheng was shot down, and couldn't help but be shocked, even slowing his footsteps a bit. Just when he was shocked and at a loss in his heart, Ye Qing's shout suddenly came from afar: "Chengshuang, run! Run into the room next door!"
Zhao Chengshuang didn't have time to turn to look at Ye Qing, quickly turning around and sprinting. He had just moved his foot when the second gunshot rang out, and a bullet landed right where he had been standing. If he had been half a second slower, he would have ended up like Su Kaicheng.
In fact, if the same thing happened to someone else, they might have been doomed. Because a normal person would definitely turn to look upon hearing such a shout. However, Zhao Chengshuang has a very good relationship with Ye Qing, and he has extreme trust in Ye Qing. So upon hearing Ye Qing's words, he didn't hesitate, didn't turn to look, but simply chose to turn around and run, thus dodging that shot.
Watching Zhao Chengshuang run, the sniper seemed a bit anxious and fired continuously. However, with Zhao Chengshuang running, it was not that easy to aim accurately. Zhao Chengshuang ran all the way, followed by a string of bullets, but not one hit him. Until he ran into the small shop next door to hide, the gunshots stopped pursuing him but turned in another direction, shooting at the people around Su Kaicheng.
Su Kaicheng was shot, and the people around him were hurriedly carrying him into the room next to the orphanage, trying to avoid the snipers. However, carrying an injured person slowed them down, and the snipers shot down three more people, causing Su Kaicheng to fall to the ground again, with no one left to protect him.
In such a critical situation, a figure suddenly dashed out from the school entrance, swiftly rushing to Su Kaicheng's side. This person was Ye Qing, who leapt to the ground, hugged Su Kaicheng, and rolled on the ground several times, dodging several bullets, then carried Su Kaicheng on his back, running frantically towards the nearby building.
Ye Qing's speed and strength were much better than those previous people, and in no time, he moved Su Kaicheng to that room. Seeing that Su Kaicheng was seriously injured, he took out a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill and stuffed it into Su Kaicheng's mouth; keeping Su Kaicheng alive was the top priority.
