Volume 1, Chapter 57: Three-Head Mountain, Gunshots

This kind of direct combat was not their forte. Being dispatched by higher-ups was due to a shortage of manpower, and secondly, it was rumored to be related to a drug cartel, with subsequent investigations handed over to them.

"Captain Zhai, do you have any further instructions?" Zhu Yong looked toward Zhai Wei.

"None. We criminal investigators will follow Captain Zhu's command."

"Alright then, let's proceed slowly from the left peak toward the central peak."

......

"Three-Head Mountain?" Ye Lin muttered to himself as he looked at the red dot on the map.

Ahead, Pichai's speed had slowed down, which probably meant he had gotten out of the vehicle. The red dot was climbing a mountain named Three-Head Mountain.

Ye Lin...

A fierce gust of wind from a punch rushed toward his face, but Wang Xiu did not budge at all. When Song Chen's fist was still ten centimeters away from him, he suddenly raised his hand.

Needless to say, the gentle and adorable classmate Tian Yuanhui had her heart entirely set on him. She belonged to that kind of relationship where, once the favorability rating exceeded 90, any request to make love would definitely be met with a nod of agreement.

A look of joy flashed across Chen Jin's face. He immediately sent someone to the Imperial Capital with the Wa Wa robot and had the finance department wire over 300,000.

Moreover, even if he managed to scrape together 50 million by every means possible, not to mention wasting a massive amount of time, he would also have to shoulder a heavy burden of debt.

Jiang Chao had only had a few work-related interactions with Lin Xi after she joined the company, and they found each other easy to talk to, so they naturally became friends.

He walked up to the Marquis's Mansion and happened to see Chen Xinyun walking out from inside. He ignored her; this matter required long-term planning.

The fierce sword momentum made the space between Wang Xiu's eyebrows feel chilled. Then Wang Xiu tilted his head, and the assassin's sword brushed past his shoulder.

Everything in this apartment had once been personally designed by Ruan Tian herself. Now that she was trapped here, it felt as though she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

Xie Zhigang and his men retreated while returning fire. Just then, Xie Zhigang discovered that the enemy actually had a sniper, and his target was locked onto the deputy captain not far away.

Room 901 was inhabited by three couples, two of which were already married. They were usually very meticulous about cleanliness, so an occasional check-in was sufficient. Chen Jin had looked in last month, and had no intention of entering today.

These police officers were too low in rank and lacked a sufficient understanding of just how terrifying Li Ruhai was. Seeing that they were about to take the blame again, they naturally felt resentful in their hearts. However, Hiraga Satoshi held the highest rank among them, and once he set the tone, they could only dare to feel angry without daring to speak out.

As soon as they entered the barrier, everyone was knocked back and forth by a fierce gale. Looking closely, they realized that the entire Xuanming Taiji Diagram had undergone drastic changes.

"Big brother, this Hua Shisan is rather eccentric," Feng Mozhi blurted out suddenly. She plucked at the flower bud of the fire velvet, a look of intoxication in her eyes.

"Jin'er, they are simply trying to extort us. If we let them through the door, won't they claim that the Mighty Marquis's Mansion is in the wrong and has failed them?" Lady Zhou said with a frown.

Furthermore, Consort Ning was a person planted by Emperor Lijing, and from a certain perspective, she was also Lin Qi's person.

Xu Xiyuan glanced at the commoners, then swept a look at the two rat-faced men, and gave a slight nod to Qingyang.

When Shen Yu saw the gold ring, his pupils suddenly constricted. This ordinarily styled gold ring was precisely the one his mother had worn year round—a token of love from his parents' wedding. His mother's name was engraved inside the ring, and Shen Yu recognized it at a single glance.

"I wonder if my three female cousins are still feeling any discomfort anywhere? I have some slight knowledge of traditional medicine; why don't I feel the pulse for the three younger sisters?" Upon hearing this, Minghui shifted her attention to the three female cousins and asked.

Yet to her utter astonishment, there were neither piercing high-pitched notes nor choked-low tones; instead, stereo sound like the gurgling waters of a mountain stream drifted out. The sound quality was as pure and ethereal as the music she had once heard in concert halls.

The artisan monk was inherently unaccustomed to making decisions and felt even more clueless at this moment. Fortunately, remembering that the boss was right outside, he scurried out in a flurry.

What caught Zheng Qiu's attention were two shield rafts detached from the mechanized city's troops in the rear. These two shield rafts moved one after the other toward the mechanized city's troops in the front—or more precisely, toward the cavalry forces that had already charged out.

Wu Qianqian had obviously been back, because the things she had previously left here were gone, and a key lay on the table.

In Zhang Jun's army, the soldiers no longer dared to jump up to attack, because the moment they jumped, they would become live targets for the enemy's regular troops positioned close by.

All eight Qiongqi launched their attack simultaneously, possessing the momentum of a thunderbolt, an offensive destined to kill. Many formidable enemies in the past had died under this very move.

Therefore, up to this point, although the recording of the first season was less than halfway through, it had been temporarily suspended, to be resumed a few days later.

Ning Tao called again. First, he offered a few apologetic words, then explained that he was too busy today and lacked the time to come over, expressing a desire to invite Lin Yuming out for a meal tomorrow.

Such an old person still acting coy and childish! Luo Hanhong felt contempt in her heart, but her movements were not slow. She smiled and curtsied to the Princess Consort, stating that she paid her respects to Her Highness the Princess Consort.

When Master Hengzhi saw Qi Bao produce this Primeval Mountain Gate, his originally detached expression vanished instantly. His eyes lit up as he accepted the Primeval Mountain Gate from Qi Bao's hands, staring at the three characters "Songshan Temple" as if entranced for a moment.

The lotus throne emitted a pure white micro-glow, rotating slowly upon his palm, gradually absorbing the filth of the heaven and earth along its path.

Although he had traveled far and wide in his life and witnessed quite a bit of the world, he still could not imagine the horror of someone having their head directly blown apart by a gun right before his eyes, let alone some warlord commanding tens of thousands of troops. Just thinking about it filled his heart with dread.
