Chapter 1 Ambush

On a street in Dragon City, Yu Mingyuan’s car was slowly pulling over to the side of the road.

The tires rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound.

Under the dim streetlights, several men in police uniforms were walking towards their car, waving at them as they approached.

The platoon leader of the guards was sitting in the back seat, ready to negotiate with the officers.

“Dilingling!”

Just then, a pleasant cell phone ringtone rang out.

Yu Mingyuan took out his cell phone and saw that it was Kong ZhengHui calling. He immediately answered the phone, “Hello, what’s up?”

Kong ZhengHui came right to the point, asking, “Where are you?”

His voice was a little hurried. Yu Mingyuan thought he was urging him, so he reassured him, “I’m on my way to you. Don’t worry, the An family has already sent someone over. They’re reliable, all trustworthy people.”

Kong ZhengHui seemed a little surprised, “You’re coming too?”

Yu Mingyuan nodded, “Yes, I’m a little worried about your side…”

“You’d better go back first!” Kong ZhengHui immediately shouted into the phone, his tone brooking no refusal, “Go back to the garrison, don’t come out.”

Yu Mingyuan sensed that something was wrong and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

Kong ZhengHui hurriedly explained, “I’ve found out some information. The other side is very likely to make a move against you. Listen to me, go back quickly, hurry!”

Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan hesitated for barely a moment before immediately saying into the phone, “I understand, I’m heading back now.”

After speaking, Yu Mingyuan turned to look at the platoon leader of the guards next to him and quickly ordered, “Don’t move the other cars yet, let our car turn around and go back first.”

“Understood!”

The platoon leader of the guards had heard their conversation and immediately became vigilant, grabbing the walkie-talkie and quickly ordering, “All units prepare for action, possible situation!”

As the driver in the front was about to turn the steering wheel around, several gunshots suddenly rang out outside.

The officers who were walking towards them saw the car turning around. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately pulled out submachine guns hidden behind their backs and sprayed the car with bullets.

“Da da da!”

A row of bullets landed on the bulletproof car body, sending up golden sparks.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

The windows of the military vehicle next to them were lowered, and as they prepared to return fire, they saw the doors of several police cars in the distance being pushed open. Several gunmen carrying automatic rifles jumped out of the cars and started firing at them wildly.

“Da da da!”

“Bang bang bang!”

The bullets rained down, suppressing the guards so that they couldn’t lift their heads for a while.

The enemy was well-prepared. While suppressing them with firepower, a burly gunman jumped out of the car, carrying a single-soldier RPG on his shoulder. He took two steps forward, squatted down, aimed at the car Yu Mingyuan was in, and immediately fired.

“Whoosh!”

The rocket left a long trail of flames in the night sky, slamming into the car Yu Mingyuan was in.

“Boom!”

Flames soared into the sky.

The bulletproof military vehicle was instantly overturned by the explosion, flipping over in the air before landing on its side.

“Bang!”

“Sizzle!”

A shower of golden sparks flew out as the car slid sideways for thirty or forty meters.

Yu Mingyuan was lying in the car, his head still spinning, and he felt pain all over his body from the impact.

The violent impact left Yu Mingyuan dazed, and he felt as if he had been unconscious for a long time, but in reality, he had only briefly passed out for a few seconds. His head was still heavy, and his vision was a little blurry.

“Da da da…”

The buzzing in his ears gradually subsided, and the violent gunfire and the smell of thick smoke surged towards him.

Next to him, a guard was bleeding from the head, trying to wake him up, “Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, wake up!”

His cell phone had also fallen to the side, the screen cracked, but still on the call.

Hearing the commotion, Kong ZhengHui roared anxiously, “Mingyuan, Mingyuan? Are you okay?!”

But no one could answer the phone at this time. The platoon leader of the guards was lying in his seat, kicking the already deformed car door.

“Bang!”

With great effort, the car door was finally kicked open. The platoon leader of the guards was the first to climb out, followed by the guards inside, who pulled out the still-dazed Yu Mingyuan.

In terms of physical fitness, Yu Mingyuan couldn't compare with these soldiers who trained all year round, but this commotion sobered him up a bit.

On the street, after being briefly suppressed, the guards quickly jumped out of the car and used the vehicle as cover to exchange fire with the enemy.

Bullets intertwined in the air, and gunshots echoed in the night sky.

The platoon leader of the guards immediately shouted, “Squad leader, you guys take Mr. Yu and retreat first! The rest of you, cover me with gunfire!”

“Yes!”

Several guards stepped forward, helping Yu Mingyuan run towards the alley next to them.

The remaining soldiers, holding their guns, continued to fire, blocking the enemy's advance.

“Mingyuan, how are things on your side? Mingyuan!” Kong ZhengHui was still shouting on the phone.

The platoon leader of the guards picked up the phone and shouted at him, “We’re under attack here.”

Kong ZhengHui's voice was urgent as he pressed, “Where are you? I’ll send people to support you immediately!”

The platoon leader of the guards had heard the conversation between the two in the car earlier, so he didn’t suspect Kong ZhengHui and immediately told him their location.

…

On the other end of the phone, Kong ZhengHui quickly hung up and turned to the others in the room, “Let Da Liang stay here to watch over the things in the house, the rest of you follow me immediately.”

“Okay!”

A group of people grabbed their weapons and hurried downstairs with Kong ZhengHui.

As he went downstairs, Kong ZhengHui took out his cell phone again and called home, asking them to send people to rescue them immediately.

…

On the street, the man with the plastic surgery face, wearing a police uniform, stared at Yu Mingyuan, who was running away into the distance, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

He Yan stood beside him, holding a gun and firing at the soldiers in the distance.

The man with the plastic surgery face turned his head, firing his gun as he said to He Yan, “The boss ordered that he must die.”

He Yan frowned and immediately shouted, “Everyone spread out, attack with all your might, push forward quickly!”

At this moment, Yu Mingyuan, covered in blood, was being supported by two soldiers as they ran into the alley. He quickly regained his senses, shook his head, pushed away the soldiers, reached for the pistol at his waist, and fired back at the gunmen in the distance as he ran.

…

Dragon City National Security Bureau.

Xiao Zhang, the chief of the intelligence section, looked anxious as he strode through the corridor to the deputy director's office.

“Dong dong dong!”

A rapid knocking sound rang out, and after waiting for a moment, the door opened.

But at first glance, Xiao Zhang saw that it was Gu Bai Shun's secretary blocking the way, politely asking, “Chief Zhang, is there something I can help you with?”

Xiao Zhang immediately replied, “I have something to report to Director Gu, let me in.”

The secretary shook his head and said softly, “Director Gu has been busy all day, he just took his medicine and fell asleep. If there’s anything, you can tell me first.”

As he spoke, the secretary deliberately took two steps to the side. Through the glass window, Xiao Zhang subconsciously craned his neck and glanced inside.

In a small bed in the room, Gu Bai Shun was lying on his side with his back to him, looking as if he was indeed asleep.
