Chapter 1018:
Wei Zhen is a meticulous person, she asked through the security door: "Who is it?"
"Checking the water meter!" A strong male voice responded from outside.
"The water meter is downstairs!" Wei Zhen replied.
"Just checking the gas meter too!" The guy outside seemed taken aback and quickly changed his words.
"The gas meter is also downstairs!" Wei Zhen frowned, feeling that the man at the door was indeed suspicious. First water, then gas, is something up? Nowadays, especially in the suburbs of Beijing, it’s quite chaotic, with frequent cases of home invasion and assault happening.
"Damn it, we’re from the police department, checking ID cards!" The guy at the door finally got angry and started pounding on the door with his fist. Wei Zhen was scared out of her wits and turned to Ye Chen, seemingly seeking his advice. Ye Chen nodded and said: "Open the door, don’t be afraid of them, they’re just here to trouble me!"
"What?!" Duoduo exclaimed: "Ye, should you not hide quickly?"
"Fool, how big is this place? Where can I hide?" Ye Chen chuckled.
At this moment, Wei Zhen nervously opened the door, and more than a dozen guys with genuine firearms rushed in, immediately occupying the entire studio apartment. Leading them was a burly fat guy who resembled Chen Fugui, especially in the vibe between his brows. Ye Chen immediately understood that this guy must be Chen Fugui’s brother.
"Director Chen, this is the guy that injured your brother!" An officer quickly pointed at Ye Chen.
"Good kid, you dare to touch my brother?!" The burly man gritted his teeth as if Ye Chen had had his way with his wife. Ye Chen smiled calmly: "I hit him, so what? Do you expect me to hit the brother and then smack the brother too?"
"Damn it. You’re in my hands now, you’ll suffer!" The guy glared at Ye Chen viciously and then said: "Come on, this guy dared to hurt someone purposely, take him away!"
"Yes!" The dozen policemen immediately surrounded him.
These officers were unaware of Ye Chen’s prowess, all anxious to earn merit. Especially when they saw Ye Chen sitting still on a chair, they thought their chance had come. But these policemen were gravely mistaken. As they lunged at Ye Chen, Ye Chen spun around, hooked a chair that no one was sitting on with his foot, and flung it at the dozen incoming policemen.
Bang...
With a loud crash, the wooden chair instantly shattered, the chair struck a policeman’s chest, while other fragments scattered onto the ground, disintegrating in an instant. The other policemen were startled by this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief. The guy hit in the chest slowly crumpled to the ground without even the strength to groan.
"Damn it!" The chief behind roared in anger: "Shoot, I don’t believe he’s not afraid of bullets!"
Clatter...
The policemen immediately retreated several steps, squatting on the ground, guns aimed at Ye Chen, waiting for the superior’s command. With a command from the chief, the guys decisively pulled the trigger.
In a flash, the room was filled with sounds echoing like firecrackers. Duoduo and Wei Zhen were scared out of their wits, the two had never seen such a scene before, not only seeing so many armed policemen but also witnessing them open fire. The thing the two worried about the most was Ye Chen. No matter how capable Ye Chen was, could he really escape from the hail of bullets?
The possibility was slim, almost unlikely. Of course, if Ye Chen was God, maybe it was possible. But is there really a God in this world?
After a torrent of fire, a mist of dust rose inside the room. As the bullets penetrated the white plaster walls, clouds of dust erupted. With over a dozen rifles firing simultaneously, the room immediately became a sea of dust.
"Cough..." The chief coughed harshly, gritting his teeth: "Find that guy’s body!"
"Yes!" The policemen donned gas masks, unafraid of the dust that clouded their vision, unable to see Ye Chen’s position clearly.
Swish...
A flash of white light instantly alerted the policemen. Everyone trained could somehow sense the danger around them. Once a threat emerged, whether they could see it or not, the sixth sense would immediately alert them.
"Thud..."
A streak of bright red flashed through the air like a hellish flower blooming across the river, radiant. At this moment, a policeman screamed: "Help, help..."
Suddenly, the cries stopped abruptly, causing everyone to draw a sharp breath. What did this sharp cry for help signify? It meant Ye Chen isn’t dead, that he escaped amidst the barrage of bullets! Was he... was he a human? No, no, he wasn’t human, he... he must be God. Otherwise, how could he escape such concentrated gunfire?
"Oh my God, has he... hasn’t he died?" a policeman hurriedly asked.
"No, he... he’s really not dead!" Another policeman quickly replied.
While the officers searched around for Ye Chen, Ye Chen played cat and mouse in the mist with them. Holding a dagger, Ye Chen had already killed one policeman, and taking down a policeman wasn’t difficult for him, even handling the aftermath was fine.
The policemen nervously searched for Ye Chen, who in turn dizzied these officers within the mist.
Bang...
Another loud noise, another policeman was kicked away, leaving the officers completely shattered. Ye Chen was stealthy in the mist, while they couldn’t see a thing. At this moment, the chief ordered: "Everyone retreat, surround the entrance. Also, get the SWAT team for support and lockdown the entire area!"
"Yes!" The policemen nodded quickly.
All the policemen retreated out of the apartment, blocking the entrance. Several officers hurried downstairs to seal off the windows of the apartment. They planned to lock Ye Chen in, but they were miscalculating. Ye Chen quietly approached the corner where Duoduo and Wei Zhen were hiding.
"Wei Zhen, Duoduo, are you okay?" Ye Chen asked urgently.
"Ye, you’re... you’re alive?" Duoduo tearfully whimpered, thinking Ye Chen was already dead in the hail of bullets, only to hear Ye Chen’s voice now, making Duoduo feel as if she was dreaming. She lightly bit her finger and said: "I... I guess I’m not dreaming, right?"
"No, listen, find a place to hide in the room now." Ye Chen hurriedly said.
The two girls didn’t ask why, quickly rushing into the bedroom and hid inside the wardrobe. Ye Chen stood up straight and began walking slowly outside. The policemen had set a trap outside, waiting for Ye Chen to face it.
Over a dozen policemen squatted at the entrance, occupying crucial positions on the floor. Once Ye Chen came out, they would immediately open fire. Every eye focused on the door, anticipating Ye Chen’s appearance. As soon as Ye Chen emerged, he would be shot dead.
As everyone anticipated Ye Chen, his figure indeed came out from the dusty room. The burly chief immediately said: "Don’t shoot, capture him alive!"
"Yes!" Everyone quickly put away their weapons.
Ye Chen smirked mysteriously. As everyone surrounded him slowly, Ye Chen’s figure suddenly vanished—it was just a flicker—and he disappeared from under everyone’s nose, shocking everyone.
"Damn it, where did he run off to?" Director Chen asked curiously.
"Director, he... he’s gone!" A nearby policeman swallowed hard.
"Pow..."
Director Chen slapped someone and angrily said: "I saw it, do I need you to tell me? Damn it, hurry and find him. Damn it, if I can’t find the kid, how will I explain? And if I can’t explain, see how I punish you!"
"Yes, yes!" The policemen were scared out of their wits and quickly began the search.
