Chapter 1

The cold wind blew gently on the street.

Su Tiannan paused slightly, glanced at the car's position, and suddenly shouted, "Run!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them took off.

Inside the car, a police chief immediately pulled out his gun, looked up, and shouted, "These two must have slipped out of the Baolong Group. They might even be the leaders. Chase them!"

"Vroom!"

The car engine roared as it sped after them.

"This way, this way!" Su Tiannan shouted, observing the terrain as he ran. Seeing the complex alleyways of the residential area across the street, he immediately yelled.

On the street, the two ran hard for sixty or seventy meters, dashed across the road, and disappeared into the alleyways.

"Screech, screech!"

The sound of screeching brakes echoed as three cars stopped on the side of the road, and a dozen police officers jumped out, guns in hand, and chased into the alley.

"Stop! We'll shoot if you run again!"

"Bang!"

"…!"

As the police officers ran, they shouted warnings and fired warning shots, but to no avail. The two ahead were running like madmen, darting along the walls.

This reaction piqued the interest of the experienced police chief. If they weren't involved in something big, would they be running for their lives like this, even with warning shots being fired?

"They must be the leaders! Catch them, catch them!" the police chief shouted.

In the alley, a police officer suddenly stopped, aiming his gun with both hands. "Captain, I'm going to shoot, okay?!"

"Don't hit anything vital."

"…Understood!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, and Ermao, who was running, fell to the ground with a thud, blood spurting from his left shoulder.

Hearing the gunshots, Su Tiannan turned back and saw Ermao injured. Without hesitation, he retreated, knocking over the trash cans and debris piled against the wall.

"Crash!"

Broken planks, broken wooden boxes, and trash cans all toppled over, filling the narrow alley.

Bending over, Su Tiannan reached out and grabbed Ermao. "Let's go, let's go together!"

Gritting his teeth, Ermao struggled to his feet, sweat pouring down his forehead, and stumbled forward with Su Tiannan.

The police officers behind them rushed forward, clambering over the pile of debris, guns in hand, continuing the chase.

Ahead, Su Tiannan dragged Ermao around two corners, only to find themselves facing a two-meter-high wall.

A dead end!

The two paused briefly, and Su Tiannan immediately bent down and shouted, "Step on my back, get up first, quick!"

Ermao hadn't had a good impression of the Su family and Yu Mingyuan's team before, but after the frequent contact in recent days, he found that these people were quite loyal to their brothers. At least they weren't the type to sell out their teammates as soon as a fight broke out.

Ermao was already injured, so he didn't hesitate, stepping on Su Tiannan's back and climbing towards the top of the wall.

"Thump, thump…!"

Ermao had just grabbed the edge of the wall when he heard footsteps behind him.

The police officers were catching up.

"Go, go!" Knowing that he might not be able to escape, Su Tiannan arched his back, preparing to send Ermao up first.

"Da-da…da-da…!"

Just then, the sound of an automatic weapon burst from the wall to the left.

Su Tiannan looked up abruptly and saw Lao Hei, his face covered, lying on the wall and firing.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

At the same time, two belts were thrown over the wall, and Lao Hei's two brothers shouted urgently, "Quick, get up here!"

Deep in the alley, the police officers had just tried to rush forward but were pushed back by the automatic weapon fire. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Tiannan and Ermao grabbed the belts and climbed over the wall.

"Go!"

Lao Hei shouted, took the lead by jumping down from the wall with his gun, and rushed towards the car.

"How did you find us?" Ermao asked.

"Heard the gunshots," Lao Hei replied quickly, bending down and getting into the car. "Let's go, let's go!"

Everyone reunited and piled into the car.

Inside the alley, the Victory District police captain, after climbing onto the wall, glanced outside and saw the rear of Lao Hei's vehicle.

"I'm Team Two, we've spotted two suspects near the intersection of Changyang Street and Donglin Road. I fired warning shots, but they still refused to be apprehended. I suspect they are the ringleaders of the riot. I chased them to the outskirts of Baoliyuan Residential Area, where several armed men fired at our officers, providing cover for their escape."

"What are their characteristics?!" The Victory District police responded immediately.

"I didn't get a clear look at the faces of the armed men, but they were in a dark blue Meng Hu (fierce tiger) off-road vehicle, probably the 49 model. I didn't get the license plate number."

"Listen to me, someone died at the Baolong Group, Xu Jinbo's cousin." Liu Changming's voice on the radio was serious. "The two who escaped are likely the murderers. Follow them immediately, and I will send you reinforcements."

"Understood!"

The two ended the call.

Liu Changming quickly found the director of the police department's technical investigation unit, pointed at him, and said, "Get me real-time surveillance footage from Changyang Street, Donglin Road, and the vicinity of Baoliyuan Residential Area, tracking a blue Meng Hu off-road vehicle. Quick!"

"Understood!" the director of the technical investigation unit nodded.

At the same time, Miao Ziwei contacted a senior member of the Regulatory Commission as soon as he learned that someone had died in his group.

"Miao, has there been a death in your group?" the white deputy chairman of the Regulatory Commission asked.

"Yes, he was beaten to death by rioting workers. We have roughly identified the suspects," Miao Ziwei frowned and replied. "They are likely managers from Changqing Company and the vice president of the Tongji Society!"

The other party paused slightly and immediately replied, "We will urge the Municipal Police Department to send more police to capture the bandits!"

"Good, good…!" This was exactly what Miao Ziwei had been waiting for.

The two ended the call, and the car happened to stop at the entrance of the Baolong Group. Xu Jinbo pushed the door open and rushed out, his face gloomy, just as he ran into people from the police department carrying his cousin's body.

"Who did this?! Did anyone see?!" Xu Jinbo asked the group's management, furious.

"The security department's Lao Li said that Su Tiannan and a gangster named Ermao were the ones who did it!"

"…!" Xu Jinbo looked at the body covered with a white cloth and said through gritted teeth, "How did this happen?!"

"It was because of Xiaohu's girlfriend. She said that a worker molested her, and Xiaohu lost control…!"

"Find that woman for me! Immediately!" Xu Jinbo threw down the sentence and shouted, clenching his fists, "Get Liu Yuan and Xu Zhen back!"

"Yes, President Xu!"

…

Zha Nan District.

Su Tianyu held the phone and said to Li Yuan, "The death was an accident, something no one wanted to see! Now we have to find a way to help me get these people out of here!"

"Wait a moment!" Li Yuan muted the phone, walked to Li Mingsheng, and asked, "Leader, Xiao Yu wants to get the people out of here!"

"It's too late to run, the Regulatory Commission and the police department will get involved. We can't get them out." Li Mingsheng paused, and said expressionlessly, "Tell Su Tianyu to send them to…"
