However, Long Fei and the others were clearly unaware of the latest news. At this moment, the six of them, plus A Qiang, were waiting for him at their original positions.
"Sorry, it took them a bit of time to collect the handcuffs."
Li Chonglou explained briefly, only to realize that ten minutes had passed and they hadn't encountered a single passenger.
Where were all the passengers?
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed slightly. As time passed, more and more gangsters would arrive. If they didn't find the people quickly, it was entirely possible that the situation would become uncontrollable.
With this thought, Li Chonglou could only issue a false order to Long Fei.
"Director Lin asked me to tell you that the top priority now is to ensure the evacuation of the innocent passengers."
Long Fei's brow furrowed. "Didn't she ask me to come in and stabilize the situation before?"
Someone had to repeat what he had just said to Lin Qianqian to him.
The faces of the six changed instantly upon hearing this.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Li Chonglou nodded.
"Damn, if I had known, we should have interrogated them earlier!"
Long Fei finally realized that they hadn't interrogated the few people they had apprehended, otherwise, they wouldn't be finding out this news now.
Wang She, standing beside him, said, "This is no small matter. How about we split up?"
"All split up?"
Long Fei shook his head. "We can't all split up. Don't underestimate these guys. It's hard to say who would have the disadvantage in a one-on-one fight."
Wang She asked doubtfully, "Then how about groups of two?"
Long Fei glanced at Li Chonglou and A Qiang, then said, "Let's split into two groups, with one person leading each. Besides, three people in a group should be safe. Even if we encounter someone stronger than me, we can handle them."
Long Fei's suggestion was also approved by Wang She. Then, they each became the captain of a group, leading two members.
However, when it came to assigning Li Chonglou and A Qiang, both of them paused.
Li Chonglou spoke directly, "I'll go with Captain Long Fei."
Normally, it wouldn't matter which group the two of them joined, and as Li Chonglou had spoken, his request would generally be granted.
However, at that moment, a team member accompanying Wang She suddenly spoke up, "You come with us, let A Qiang go with the captain."
Li Chonglou's expression instantly stiffened. He turned his head to look and saw that the man who had spoken was the team member who had stayed behind to protect A Qiang earlier.
What? Why was this guy butting in?
Li Chonglou felt a sense of helplessness. As expected, since a team member had spoken up, Long Fei, who had been about to agree with Li Chonglou, changed his mind and said, "Then let's do this. Without further ado, we'll split up now."
As he spoke, he gave Li Chonglou a meaningful glance.
Li Chonglou sighed inwardly and could only hand half the handcuffs to A Qiang. The latter then followed Long Fei towards the left.
He, however, silently walked behind Wang She and the other two.
Suddenly, he noticed the team member who had spoken earlier glancing back at him as if casually.
Li Chonglou immediately understood that the other person hadn't been acting thoughtlessly but deliberately!
But why would he do that?
Li Chonglou racked his brain but couldn't come up with an answer, and his mood inevitably became more dejected.
After all, the reason he wanted to come back and follow them was to try and ascertain Long Fei's strength, but now he couldn't even do that.
"It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to slip away."
Li Chonglou made up his mind silently. Wang She didn't think much of it and directly led the three of them to the right.
As soon as they entered a corridor, they saw five passengers running towards them in panic.
"There's a situation."
Wang She reminded them and rushed forward. Halfway there, two gray figures appeared in their sight.
They were the twins whom Green Bull had encountered.
Facing Wang She and the others who had suddenly appeared, the two men in gray didn't pay much attention, thinking they were just some other passengers.
"Looks like we got lucky this time."
One of them quipped.
"Don't celebrate too soon. It's not certain if they're among them."
As they spoke, the two suddenly accelerated. They were initially ten meters away from the five passengers but in the blink of an eye, they were behind them.
"Didn't I tell you to stop?"
A cold sneer came from beneath the mask of one of the gray-robed figures, and at the same time, his large hand reached out towards the neck of the man at the very back.
Suddenly, a dark shadow intruded into his field of vision.
And it directly held down his hand.
The gray-robed figure's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retaliated with a punch.
"Scram."
Wang She kicked the gray-robed figure in the abdomen, causing the latter to grunt and stumble backward.
"You're seeking death!"
At this moment, the other gray-robed figure also caught up. Without a word, he leaped up and swung a whip kick at Wang She.
Those who came were not weak, at least all of them had entered the realm of internal energy! As soon as the gray-robed figure's whip kick was unleashed, a fierce and piercing wind brushed against Wang She's face!
It was obvious that this kick was not simple, and perhaps the opponent was a master of using their legs.
Chinese martial arts had a history of many years, with the most common being fist and leg techniques. However, common did not mean ordinary. On the contrary, those who relied on fist or leg techniques at this level were undoubtedly the elites.
Wang She dared not be careless and bent down to dodge the gray-robed man's whip kick.
At the same time, two team members also rushed up.
They surrounded the gray-robed man from the left and right, both engaging with punches. However, under the pincer attack, the man was clearly being pushed back step by step.
At their level, weapons were considered an enhancement, and sometimes even a limitation of their strength. Therefore, almost everyone fought with their fists.
Only a small number of sects still used traditional weapons. For example, the previous Hei Yan. The reason for this was that weapons could not penetrate their internal energy. At this level, internal energy was their true trump card!
Therefore, at this moment, neither Wang She nor the internal energy masters they encountered carried weapons. And in terms of fist fighting, it was natural that two fists were no match for four hands.
After only a few rounds, the gray-robed man fell into an absolute disadvantage.
However, the other gray-robed man also quickly adjusted and joined the fray, quickly tipping the scales back.
The strength of the two was roughly equal to Wang She's two team members.
Unfortunately, they were not the only ones present.
"I advise you to surrender obediently."
Wang She sneered and charged towards one of them. With his addition, the gray-robed men instantly felt immense pressure.
"Who exactly are you!"
At this moment, one of the gray-robed men finally couldn't help but shout. The two of them had initially thought they were just ordinary passengers, but they hadn't expected them to be evenly matched opponents.
No, Wang She's strength was clearly superior to theirs!
