Chapter 155: Trouble Occurs
"Wushuang, can you do me a favor? Tianlong... he’s been taken to the detention center." Wu Mengting, being Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend, was naturally the first to receive the news.
"What? You mean Chen... Chen Tianlong? How did he end up in there?" Lin Wushuang knew nothing about it and found it rather sudden.
"Yes!"
Wu Mengting nodded and then detailed the whole story to Lin Wushuang.
Upon learning about it, Lin Wushuang directly took Wu Mengting to the South Sea Police Department.
However, only after a conversation with Director Zhao Bing did they find out that it was the Hao Family’s doing. If the Hao Family rescinded their accusations, Chen Tianlong could come out immediately.
Back at school, Wu Mengting gritted her teeth, planning to meet with Hao Jian to have a good talk, to see what it would take to get Chen Tianlong released.
Hao Jian saw the note Wu Mengting sent over and instantly devised a plan. He’d been bullied by Chen Tianlong lately and was thinking of finding a chance to properly teach him a lesson.
Now that his girlfriend had proactively come to him, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity? If he couldn’t deal with Chen Tianlong directly, he’d start with his woman.
With this thought, Hao Jian replied, "Tonight at nine, meet at Bitian Hotel, just say you’re looking for Hao Jian."
Bitian Hotel was a property of the Hao Family, and Hao Jian inviting Wu Mengting to go there so late was surely with ulterior motives.
Sure enough, seeing Hao Jian’s reply made Wu Mengting’s heart tremble, yet she was determined to save Chen Tianlong, willing to risk it.
She couldn’t believe that as schoolmates, Hao Jian would do anything too outrageous to her.
Thus, Wu Mengting agreed.
At around six in the afternoon, Chen Tianlong and Yan Nanfei finished their dinner and returned to their cell, suddenly noticing some commotion in the adjacent room.
Shortly after, the person who had escorted them was also lying unconscious on the ground. Chen Tianlong, with his keen sensing power, immediately felt something was wrong, hurried to the door to take a look, then walked over: "Old man, do you have anything like a wire?"
"Oh? You want to escape?" Yan Nanfei grinned and said, "If you want to leave, why would you need a wire? Watch me!"
"No, something seems off outside." Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, knowing better than to escape since he’d likely be released soon. Running away would only worsen the charges.
Not waiting for Chen Tianlong to explain further, Yan Nanfei walked to the door, fiddled with the lock for a few moments, then yanked it open.
Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened. Who was this guy? How was he so powerful, able to open such a big lock with just his arm strength?
This truly opened Chen Tianlong’s eyes.
"Don’t just stand there, clearly something major happened outside."
At this moment, Yan Nanfei also got serious, realizing that a guard was already lying unconscious on the ground, meaning the others couldn’t have fared much better.
Sure enough, after the two left the room, they saw a mist, clearly caused by a smoke bomb being thrown, and the door to the next room was already open.
To figure out what exactly happened, Chen Tianlong and Yan Nanfei started to move forward.
"Old Five, are you alright?"
Suddenly, a heavy voice echoed in the detention center’s main hall. Chen Tianlong and the old man hid in a corner, peering secretively towards the hall. They saw a dozen people with machine guns, while another dozen were tied up alongside them.
Most prominently, a man in his forties, with his face covered in stubble, was holding a gun to a hostage while smoking heavily.
"I’m fine, Old Four, let’s get out of here!" The man with the scar on his face, Du Wei, who had been beaten by Chen Tianlong earlier, looked around, saying tensely.
"Old Five, since when did you become so cowardly? This place is already under control of our Celestial Wolf Gang brothers. We’ve got a dozen machine guns, what’s there to be afraid of?"
Niu Bi, the Celestial Wolf Gang’s fourth leader, spoke with reckless abandon.
"You bunch of thugs, do you know what it means to bust someone out of jail? That’s an aggravated crime,"
Warden Zhang Yu, although captured, clearly wasn’t scared, because he was a soldier, and soldiers have their dignity.
"Oh my, still acting tough?" With that, Du Wei walked towards the warden. At that moment, sirens blared outside, and the fourth leader Niu Bi smirked coldly: "They’re finally here."
Instantly, Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, was taken aback. What did he mean, were they waiting for the police to arrive this whole time?
In the meantime, Chen Tianlong clearly caught the conversation among the thugs.
"Old man, these people seem like they’re from a gang. The one I beat before is actually a high-ranking member of this gang." Chen Tianlong said in surprise.
"Oh? So what!"
Yan Nanfei said casually, as if such things were trivial to him.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, then glanced back at the old man, feeling that this person was extremely mysterious; he’d have to question him properly once things calmed down.
At this moment, the sound of police shouting came from outside: "People inside, listen up, you are surrounded, please lay down your weapons and surrender immediately."
"Ha, if I were afraid of you, I wouldn’t be waiting here for you to come, would I? I want to show them that Celestial Wolf Gang members aren’t so easily bullied."
Niu Bi sneered, waving his hand, and a dozen subordinates with machine guns took cover by the door, ready to attack.
The Celestial Wolf Gang’s headquarters was incredibly mysterious; no one knew where it was.
This time, Zhao Bing personally led the team, while Zhang Yufei became the deputy team leader, leading a dozen people to break in from the back, trying to enter the detention center.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, the sound of machine-gun fire erupted. There were four or five people standing at the detention hall entrance, recklessly firing machine guns outside.
Zhao Bing was taken aback, never expecting this group of thugs to be so violent, daring to shoot aimlessly at them. He immediately ordered snipers to commence direct sniping.
"Bang bang..."
With two gunshots, two machine gunners from the opposing side were instantly killed.
The others quickly retreated, and at this moment, Niu Bi waved his hand, signaling his men to pull back, then commanded others to drag the hostages to the door.
"People outside, your snipers have good aim, but our shooting skills aren’t bad either." With that, he signaled two of his men beside him, who directly pointed their guns at the hostages.
"Damn... these bastards."
Zhao Bing really wanted to rush in and beat Niu Bi up, but he couldn’t, because aside from over a dozen prison guards inside, they were all hostages.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Bing stood forward: "What exactly do you want to do? Whatever the conditions are, just say them, but please don’t harm the hostages."
