"Xiao Fei, seal all the doors! Yang Jiao has been taken!" Ping An, enduring the pain, shouted to Gao Xiao Fei's voice.
"Alert! Seal the main gate, search the perimeter!"
"Report, a suspicious group of black-clothed men has been spotted at the north gate, carrying a woman and heading for a car!"
"That's the hostage! Intercept, prioritize the hostage's safety! Request perimeter support."
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Bang!"
"Report, the opposing side has eleven men, all armed with heavy weapons, their firepower is too intense. We've blocked the road with police cars, but our brothers are pinned down by their firepower and can't get out!"
"Requesting SWAT intervention. Teams one, two, and three, follow me out the main entrance for a flanking maneuver. Team four will stay behind to organize personnel to exit via the safety通道."
On the street outside the north gate of the Wind Power Company's administrative building, several police cars were blocking the road on both sides. The street was already deserted, with only the enemy resisting with firearms and the brave police fighting.
"Rattata tat tat!" A burst of bullets tore through a van and struck the circular stone pillar where Gao Xiao Fei was hiding. He never imagined that one day he would be leading a group of brothers armed with small handguns against submachine guns, and that at least half of his brothers with small handguns were armed with damn rubber bullets!
"Boom!" The enemy's firepower was too intense. Gao Xiao Fei rushed out from behind the stone pillar during a reload, only to be blown back by a grenade.
"Are the snipers in position?" Gao Xiao Fei, covered in soot, patted himself down, finding all his limbs intact. He pulled out his walkie-talkie and asked into the divine artifact.
"The snipers are still stuck on the overpass!" the reply from the walkie-talkie chilled his heart.
Seven or eight vehicles were blocking the front, so the enemy couldn't leave for the time being. However, their superior firepower left Gao Xiao Fei and his team of police with no chance of winning. If there were snipers in high positions, they could still attempt a pincer attack, but...
On the street, bystanders who had unexpectedly encountered this situation rushed to take shelter in nearby shops.
In a sporting goods store, a bystander who had entered to escape the chaos at some point, suddenly grabbed the store owner's prized possession, a recurve bow and a quiver of arrows, then opened the store door and left amidst the flying bullets.
Yes, that person was Ping An.

Ping An dodged the hail of bullets, returned to the Wind Power Company's administrative building, and took the elevator to the sixth floor.
The balcony on the north side of the sixth floor, neither too high nor too low, offered a clear view. The enemy's positions below were all exposed to the arrows.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow whistled through the air, flying over Gao Xiao Fei's head and precisely striking an enemy hiding in the green belt.
"Whoosh!"
Another long whistle, and another enemy hiding behind a car was hit.
No need to think, since the snipers were still on their way, the only one who could strike so accurately had to be that person.
With the support of the arrows, Gao Xiao Fei's spirits also lifted. He reloaded his magazine, took a deep breath, and with a leap and a roll, he finally made contact with the brothers who had been trapped outside.
"Who has a medical kit? Two brothers have been shot!" Gao Xiao Fei's urgent voice came from amidst the gunfire.
Among the enemies on the opposite side, although two had been eliminated, the vigilant enemies began to change their strategy, shifting from defense and blockade to active assault. It was clear they wanted to finish off this group of police and leave quickly.
Kou Kou Wu Liu San Qi Si Lu Qi Wu
The attacking enemies' firepower intensified. Although Gao Xiao Fei had successfully joined the outer perimeter, he found it utterly useless. At this point, they could only huddle like turtles under the oppressive gunfire.
"Whoosh!"
The bowstring twanged again, and an arrow struck the leading enemy.
However, this arrow also revealed Ping An's location, and the enemy unleashed a barrage of gunfire in his direction.
Taking advantage of his good brother drawing fire, Gao Xiao Fei sprang forward and unleashed a saturation of fire on two enemies. Another agile police officer cooperated, and together they managed to knock out an enemy with rubber bullets.
The situation finally began to shift. The police team that had flanked from the other door took advantage of the enemy's distraction and killed two more. The remaining four enemies finally considered escape. One of the leaders suddenly shot and killed the stunned enemy, then, along with the other three and Yang Jiao, they hijacked a nearby black private car and sped away. Just before the car left, the three SUVs that had been blocking the road exploded.
In a total of ten minutes, the people on this street seemed to have experienced a lifetime of life and death. The flames from the explosion ignited much of the roadside vegetation. Gao Xiao Fei controlled the scene while directing the outer teams to pursue the fugitives.
"I was defending myself, you can't arrest me! Explain yourself!" Ping An, descending from the building, his face covered in blood, saw Gao Xiao Fei and, ignoring his own injuries, first explained his motives. He had signed an agreement not to randomly use his bow and arrows within the city.
"Ancestor, your face?" Gao Xiao Fei, not concerned about the bow and arrows, asked with concern.
"It's nothing, just a piece of stone grazed my head. My face is fine!" Ping An said, quickly returning the bow and arrows.

"Hero! I'll give you these bows and arrows. You're f***ing amazing! You killed several people!" The sporting goods store owner trembled, not daring to accept. Damn it, he used these bows and arrows to kill people; no businessman would dare to take them.
Ping An didn't care about that. Seeing that the owner wouldn't accept them, he took the bows and arrows and rejoined Gao Xiao Fei.
"These people are likely Liao Yuanchao's men," Ping An said, looking at the dead enemies on the ground. "Or perhaps Mr. Ke's men. These are all foreign weapons; only they have this capability."
"Alright. Yang Jiao has been taken, she's likely in grave danger!" Gao Xiao Fei said worriedly.
"Let's go, I guess it can only be there," Ping An pushed out his motorcycle and said to Gao Xiao Fei, "At this time, this is faster than a car! Let's go, we'll scout the way first. Don't worry, I'll listen to you and won't act rashly!"
Snake Biological Laboratory was a bio-engineering project invested in by the Wind Power Company five years ago. Publicly released information indicated that the laboratory primarily conducted applied research on the purification of Chinese medicinal materials. This was not surprising, as ten years prior, the Wind Power Company had planted a large number of medicinal herbs under its vast wind turbine stations. However, during their in-depth investigation of the company, Yang Jie and Zhan Dou discovered many irregularities. After hiring commercial investigator Peng You for a thorough investigation, they finally discovered that the biological laboratory was merely a second-hand processing plant disguised as a laboratory. It lacked any research projects, let alone the equipment typically found in a biological laboratory.
"You mean Liao Yuanchao would set up a new operating room in that laboratory?" Gao Xiao Fei shouted into the wind, hugging Ping An on the motorcycle.
"Yes, right now, only that place meets all the requirements for surgery," Ping An shouted back as he successfully overtook a car on his motorcycle. "Ever since returning to Hechuan, Hei Dou has been searching for Yang Jie. A day ago, the last place Yang Jie was seen was at a farmstead outside the laboratory."
"Logically, Liao Yuanchao should be in a coma at this time. Could it be that the old butler arranged this kidnapping?" Gao Xiao Fei asked.
"He doesn't have the capability. I told you, it should be Mr. Ke's organization," Ping An said. "You should quickly inform Director Xiang to have the task force reach the laboratory quickly. This time, we might catch a big fish."

Snake Laboratory is located on Luoye Mountain, east of Hechuan City. Luoye Mountain is the wind farm for the Wind Power Company's wind turbines.
Even the fastest motorcycle couldn't keep up with a car. On the winding mountain road of Luoye Mountain, Ping An lost sight of the car that had kidnapped Yang Jiao. He didn't see it again until he reached the mountain and entered the laboratory gates.
"Why isn't it here? Did you really lose them?" Gao Xiao Fei pulled out his pistol as soon as he got off the motorcycle, warily eyeing the laboratory's entrance.
"There's only one road up and down the mountain; we can't be wrong. Let's go in and take a look," Ping An dismounted his bow, keeping it ready to draw, and led the way into the laboratory.
It was a four-story laboratory. The main door was open, but there was no one inside. Ping An and Gao Xiao Fei searched from the first to the fourth floor and found that it seemed no one had been there for some time.
"Why isn't it here?" Gao Xiao Fei became anxious at the sight of no one. The backup teams were already driving up the mountain, and their cars were filling the courtyard, but the car they were tracking had disappeared, and so had Liao Yuanchao.
"It's useless. We searched this place thoroughly and found nothing," Gao Liang, who had appeared in the previous case after a year's absence, said to Gao Xiao Fei at the entrance. "We've even scanned underground, and there's nothing."
"Oh, Old Gao, where were you hiding? You came out as soon as you smelled something. Not bad," Gao Xiao Fei teased his old friend with a barrage of insults.
"Ping An, are you sure you're not mistaken? We searched this laboratory and this Luoye Mountain inch by inch half a month ago, but found nothing," Gao Liang ignored Gao Xiao Fei and asked Ping An directly.
But Ping An was now staring blankly at a cliff behind the laboratory.
Discussion group Wu Liu San Qi Si Lu Qi Wu
Why did it feel so familiar?
In fact, as Ping An followed them up the mountain, he had a sense of familiarity, but he swore he had never been to this mountain before.
"Ping An, Ping An?" Gao Liang, seeing that Ping An wasn't responding, stepped forward and grabbed Ping An's clothes.
"You'd better not disturb him," Gao Xiao Fei, who knew Ping An well, swatted Gao Liang's hand away and threatened, "If your good idea gets ruined by you, you'll take the blame!"
Ping An wasn't actually "out of body." He could hear Gao Liang and Gao Xiao Fei, but he was now listening intently to someone else.
"The organization first awakened me and took me to the top of a mountain called Luoye Mountain. There was a house on the mountaintop, neither tall nor short, and behind it was a bottomless cliff."
"The ravine is not as it appears. The car kept driving and driving. As we approached the cliff, the driver not only didn't brake but was laughing and joking."
"They are all crazy. I closed my eyes, waiting for the car to fall, but unexpectedly, after passing the cliff, it was as if we had descended a few small steps, and then, then we were driving through the air."
"I thought it was an illusion, but my knowledge told me that there was no psychological suggestion, no hypnosis, and everything I saw was actually happening. So, on the way back, I suddenly opened the car door, and the car braked sharply because of my action. I looked at the driver's bloodshot eyes and leaped out of the car like a madman."
"Heh heh heh, it was just a specially treated tempered glass bridge."
"If your investigation leads you this far, don't be fooled by what you see."
These were the words Qiao Yiyan had muttered to himself after "performing a ritual" while waiting for Ping An to wake up. He never expected Ping An to have overheard them in his subconscious.
Was "triggering memories" something that could be used like this?
With a clear plan in mind, Ping An struggled to organize his words, then looked back at the pig-headed Gao Xiao Fei and the stubborn Gao Liang, shook his head helplessly, and walked silently to the motorcycle.
"Roar!" The motorcycle started.
Ping An revved the engine a few times, pointing the bike towards the cliff.
"Ping An, take it slow, it's not worth it!" Gao Xiao Fei was the first to notice the problem and rushed forward to stop him, but it was too late.
Ping An steered the motorcycle and charged towards the cliff.
"Ancestor!" Gao Xiao Fei let out a pig-like scream as he watched the motorcycle fly off the cliff.
"Stop yelling, come here quickly, this is a tempered glass bridge!" Ping An's voice suddenly came from below the cliff. Everyone looked closely and saw that Ping An and the motorcycle had only fallen a short distance.
Reader ID- Wu Liu San Qi Si Lu Qi Wu
It turned out that the tempered glass bridge below the cliff, utilizing the overlapping effect of the mountain rocks and shadows, had created a visual blind spot for those looking down from the cliff.
"No wonder it felt so strange. Ten years ago, I helped a correspondent revise a manuscript that seemed to mention the successful construction of Hechuan City's first glass bridge, located in the Luoye Mountain scenic area..." As they walked onto the bridge, Ping An remembered more and more. It turned out that this place had been developed into a park by the Wind Power Company more than a decade ago, but it had failed due to its remote location. He figured this glass bridge must have been developed at that time.
Without stopping to examine the glass bridge, they followed it and finally entered a cave.
"Look, there's still a tourist route map set up when they were developing the scenic area. We are here now. If we go through the cave, there should be a road down the mountain, but this road is now blocked," Ping An said, pointing to the tattered tourist route map in front of the cave.
"Shh!" Just then, a police officer who had gone ahead to scout signaled for silence. He had discovered the car that had kidnapped Yang Jiao. In front of the car was a half-open makeshift door, and a faint light was shining from within.
"Ping An, you stay here and guide reinforcements. Xiao Fei, you and I will lead a team inside!" Gao Liang ordered Ping An after scouting.
"When did you become our editor-in-chief?" Ping An completely disregarded Gao Liang's orders. Despite being from the ministry, this guy's rank was lower than Gao Xiao Fei's, and Gao Xiao Fei...
"What do you mean?" Gao Liang turned around, only to find that Ping An had no intention of stopping.
"As a reporter, why should I listen to you? Ridiculous!" Ping An muttered, pulled out his bow, drew an arrow, and was the first to enter the door.
"Team Leader Gao, intelligence indicates the enemy is heavily armed. It took our men a lot of effort to kill seven of them earlier..." Gao Liang placed his hope in Gao Xiao Fei.
Ta-dù-xiǎo.shuō&~ap~>*~p.,complete.open@~yuánfree>.wangwénxiǎoshuō*。wǎng-zhàn
"Of those seven, four were killed by that enthusiastic citizen in self-defense," Gao Xiao Fei shrugged helplessly and also entered the door.
"You few, when you go in, prioritize protecting Ping An!" Gao Liang knew that he had been a bit unprofessional in the previous case, and those two brothers had never taken him seriously.
Inside the door, there was a standardized set of stairs. Descending the stairs and following the dim floor lights, they arrived in a large hall.
"Pop!" As Ping An was about to take out his phone to illuminate the area after entering the hall, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on.
Caught off guard, Gao Liang, who was bringing up the rear, stopped abruptly and gestured for his subordinates to crouch and wait.
Therefore, only Ping An and Gao Xiao Fei appeared in the hall.
"I knew you'd find this place, kid. Unfortunately, it's too late." Behind five or six armed men in the hall stood the person in the raincoat.
"Has the surgery already begun?" Ping An asked, unwillingly.
"Mm-hmm," the person in the raincoat shrugged, saying with a hint of pride.
"Don't you just want a piece of land? Is it worth all this?" Ping An roared.

"Oh, you know quite a bit. It seems that he is dead, and you two will have to die too." The person in the raincoat suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot. Then, behind a table next to him, a man with bound hands fell to the ground in pain.
"Yang Jie!" Ping An recognized the person. It was Yang Jie.
"Hahaha, you've been sneaking around on this mountain for days, trying to get in, but you couldn't. If he had half your skill, wouldn't he have gotten in long ago?" The person in the raincoat, stepping on the fallen Yang Jie, couldn't resist taunting him verbally.
"Alright, I don't have time to play games with you. I have other matters to attend to. See you in the next life, Ping An!" The person in the raincoat raised his hand again, aiming the gun at Yang Jie's head.
"Whoosh!" An arrow, with incredible speed, flew over the armed men in the hall and struck the person in the raincoat's right arm.
"Good arrow!" Injured, the person in the raincoat glared at Ping An and said through clenched teeth.
"You're the one who's cheap! Your whole family is cheap!" Ping An's reply was an arrow, followed by bullets fired from Gao Xiao Fei's pistol.
And at the moment the gunshots rang out, Gao Liang's team also stormed in. Instantly, a realistic action movie unfolded in the hall!
The injured person in the raincoat did not linger. Under the cover of one of his subordinates, he retreated to the back of the hall. Yang Jie, who had been shot and fallen, also struggled to stand up and, enduring the gunfire, followed them.
"Xiao Fei, I need to go around! Cover me!" Ping An analyzed the scene and said to Gao Xiao Fei hastily before rushing out.
"Gao Liang, I need to go around! Cover me!" Gao Xiao Fei, having learned from his mistake, said the same thing to Gao Liang before rushing out.
"Hey, you! I need to go around you! Cover me!" Gao Liang, likely furious at the two brats, stomped his foot hard and also rushed out.
The armed men in the hall, despite their superior weapons, seemed to have no will to fight, possibly realizing they were cornered. They were suppressed by the police's submachine guns and pistols.
Ping An, Gao Xiao Fei, and Gao Liang successfully bypassed to the back of the hall and found a corridor and a door. Pushing open the door, they saw that outside was a staircase leading down the mountain, and in the distance, the person in the raincoat was moving rapidly down the mountain.
"Hurry up and chase him, that bastard is probably a high-ranking member of Mr. Ke's organization!" Ping An exclaimed, but then calmly walked towards the corridor.
"I'll chase him, you protect Ping An!" Seeing the enemy about to escape, Gao Liang ordered Gao Xiao Fei, and without a second thought, he gave chase.
Gao Xiao Fei glanced at Gao Liang, who was already rapidly descending the mountain, gave him a defiant middle finger, and then quickly followed Ping An.
At the end of the corridor was a double door. The bloodstains on the floor suggested that it was from Yang Jie.
Ping An kicked open the door and found a makeshift operating room enclosed by medical plastic sheeting. Inside, three or four medical staff were gathered around two operating tables. Yang Jie was half-lying outside the operating room, his breaths shallow, as if he had held on until this point but finally ran out of strength.
"Stop! Stand aside!" Gao Xiao Fei dared not lift the operating room curtain and fired a shot into the air, alerting the medical staff inside to the situation outside.
First published on: Ta-dù~xiǎo A "fully armed" doctor tremblingly came out. "Boss, it's no use, he can't be saved. I told you it was useless, a waste of a heart, and that girl won't survive either," the doctor said, holding his hands up, avoiding Gao Xiao Fei's gun. "You mean Liao Yuanchao is already dead?" Ping An peered through the transparent window of the surgical curtain to see the situation inside. Although this makeshift operating room was not large, it was fully equipped. Under two medical surgical lights, two beds were placed side by side, about a meter apart. On one bed lay an old man, presumably Liao Yuanchao. On the other bed lay Yang Jiao. Yang Jiao's upper body was covered in various tubes, and her chest, near her heart, was covered with a dark blue cloth. The surgery seemed rushed, as Yang Jiao hadn't even had time to change her pants. "Was it too late after all?" Ping An finally accepted the reality and lowered his head dejectedly. "Did the girl inside die too?" Gao Xiao Fei looked at Ping An and continued to ask. "Not yet, because they were considering taking other parts of her..." The doctor struggled to organize his words. "Is she alive?" Gao Xiao Fei raised his voice and asked again. "She's alive. Although her heart has been removed, we are temporarily maintaining her life with instruments," the doctor said simply this time. "Can the removed heart be put back?" Ping An suddenly said with hope. Ta@dù@>*xiǎo`shuō, >wúguǎng.~*gào zài&xiàn&miǎnfèi yuèdú>~! "No, Mr. Liao died only after the transplant surgery. This heart, well, it's considered wasted," the doctor said with difficulty. Alas! After four months, with no less than ten people dead, all for the sake of saving Yang Jiao's life! It was a pity that Liao Yuan and Yang Jie had sacrificed everything, yet still failed to achieve their goal. Ping An sighed and walked to Yang Jie's side. Although Yang Jie was shot, the wound was not fatal. Yang Jiao would likely not recover, but Yang Jie could still be treated, and there was a doctor right behind them. "Reporter Ping An... listen to me, listen to me!" Yang Jie grabbed Ping An's hand, trying to catch his breath, and then said weakly, "Don't save me, save Jiaozi first. My heart, give it to her, give it to her, you understand, you understand..." Yes, Yang Jie was Liao Yuanchao's first donor, and Yang Jiao was the second. If Yang Jie and Liao Yuanchao were physically compatible, then Yang Jie and Yang Jiao... "How could you, how could you think of this?" Ping An instantly understood Yang Jie's meaning. "Isn't she my daughter? Do I need a reason? Save her, please, Ping An." Yang Jie could no longer speak, but he stubbornly held Ping An's hand. "Doctor! Come here, I have a question for you!" Ping An looked into Yang Jie's eyes, his gaze firm and persistent, and shouted at the doctor. Liao Yuanchao's body was moved out and casually placed on the ground. Ping An looked at the old man who had died with his eyes open and sighed, helping him close them. Zhàndian-:Tǎ.dú xiǎo`shuō@, huān<yíng.*<xiàzài "Xiao Fei, about this, what do you say?" Ping An said somewhat awkwardly as he watched the weak Yang Jie being moved into the operating room. "Don't hit my face, you know I'm getting married next month." Gao Xiao Fei, who had been silent, did not stop Ping An's actions but also did not support them. "Heh heh!" Ping An chuckled embarrassedly, swung his fist, and smashed it towards Gao Xiao Fei's head, who had already closed his eyes. "Get lost! The way you're hitting, you won't knock me out even if you kill me!" "Oh, let me do it again, endure it!" "Ah! You scoundrel, you did it on purpose, aim for the back of the neck, the back, understand?" "Oh, let me do it again, endure it!" "Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! I'm dizzy, stop!" "Alas, it doesn't look right, bear with it!" "Get lost!" ID- Wu Liu San Qi Si Lu Qi Wu The sound of a man screaming like a pig echoed from the cave on Luoye Mountain.
