Originally, the police were almost to this area with their carpet search, when the gunshot fired by Hu Nodun just before his death immediately pinpointed the location for them.
Soon, police swarmed the area around the cave.
Qian Yi led a large group of officers, arriving just meters away from the cave entrance.
At a glance...
They saw two bodies outside the entrance and another lying across the threshold.
"???"
"Electrocuted again?"
They were almost numb to it. Over the past few days, they had lost count of how many electrocuted bodies they had come across while investigating.
This can’t be so ridiculous, can it?
Is the probability of being struck by lightning this high nowadays?
Qian Yi and the other officers increasingly felt that the idea of "retribution" seemed to hold some truth.
However, their attention didn’t stay on the corpses for long.
There was something even more pressing—
The gunshot!
Where did it come from?
Who fired the shot?
Qian Yi and the others looked toward the cave in unison.
Even though the cave was obscured by weeds.
But...
A body lay right at the entrance, and a dim light emanated from inside.
It was impossible to miss!
"Perhaps..."
"The answer is inside that cave!"
Just as Qian Yi was about to lead the officers into the cave.
Suddenly!
A shadow flickered on the dimly lit cave wall.
At the same time.
"Plop—"
"Plop—"
"..."
Footsteps echoed clearly from the cave.
Qian Yi and the officers: ?!
Someone was in there!
Without anyone giving an order, the well-trained officers raised their guns at the cave entrance.
"Click—"
Amidst the clattering sound of metal being lifted, the shadow on the wall appeared at the entrance.
Lin Beichen felt himself instantly locked in place by numerous guns.
Densely packed gun barrels!
Anyone with a fear of numerous small holes would be paralyzed at this sight!
The black, ominous gun barrels exuded an aura of danger!
Anyone would panic in this situation!
If they fired...
He would be riddled with bullets!
He quickly shouted, "Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!"
At the same time.
Qian Yi, Wang Kai, and the officers who had met Lin Beichen before recognized him.
"????"
"Lin Beichen???"
"What’s he doing here?!"
In that instant, they felt like they were not in some remote woods outside a small village in Beihai Province, but as if they had never left Wuling Mountain.
There was no time to think.
They quickly raised their hands, signaling to the other officers not to shoot.
Immediately after.
Under their lead, the officers cautiously advanced toward the cave entrance with their guns.
Soon, they reached Lin Beichen.
Qian Yi signaled the officers to disperse and search inside the cave and its surroundings, then looked at Wang Kai, indicating he should question Lin Beichen, having had more contact with him.
Wang Kai understood, nodded, then looked at Lin Beichen, frowning as he asked, "Lin Beichen, why are you here?"
"Team Leader Wang, here’s the situation."
Lin Beichen pointed at Hu Nodun’s corpse at his feet, "These kidnappers abducted my parents, threatening me not to call the police, and making me come to be kidnapped. I didn’t want to sit and wait, so I turned the tables, lost their tail, and tracked them here."
"They kidnapped your parents? And wanted to kidnap you too?"
"Yes."
Lin Beichen nodded and speculated, "They might be from a foreign organization, retaliating against me for disrupting their operation last time."
"This..."
Wang Kai looked embarrassed. Lin Beichen had acted bravely, but they hadn’t provided adequate protection, leading to retaliation, and they were completely unaware of it.
What a disgrace!
Shameful!
Qian Yi then spoke with a sincere, regretful expression, "Lin Beichen, you guessed right, they are foreign agents. I’m truly sorry we failed to protect you and your family. That was our negligence, our failure, and we deeply apologize."
Then, he glanced at Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong, leaning against the cave wall, eyes closed and motionless.
He felt a pang of concern.
He asked hesitantly, "These two are..."
"They are my parents."
Lin Beichen, understanding Qian Yi’s concern, explained, "They were just drugged and are still unconscious."
"Phew—"
Qian Yi and the officers let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness they were unharmed; otherwise, it would have been a grave sin!
But then.
Something dawned on them, and their expressions turned peculiar.
He came to rescue his parents...
And these foreign agents were inexplicably struck by lightning.
What kind of luck is that?
Of course, this wasn’t the focus of the officers’ attention.
Wang Kai brought the topic back, "Lin Beichen, you heard the gunshot just now, right?"
Seeing Lin Beichen nod.
He continued, "Did you see who fired the shot?"
"It was him."
Lin Beichen pointed again at Hu Nodun’s corpse.
Upon hearing this, the officers examined Hu Nodun’s body, finding the handgun beneath it.
Wang Kai’s eyes lit up, asking again, "Why did he fire?"
Lin Beichen shook the Thunder Tribulation Sword in his hand, "Because when he saw me about to strike, he shot, trying to take me down with him."
"???"
