Chapter 132

On the street to the left of Dragon Bridge, Wei Xiangzuo looked down at his watch. Feeling that the time was right, he looked up and instructed, "You guys wait in the car. I'll go take a look."

The others nodded. Wei Xiangzuo pushed the door open and got out, while Xiao Feng instinctively drew his gun from his waist, glancing around.

By this time, the heavy rain outside had turned into a light drizzle. Wei Xiangzuo walked alone toward the main street by Dragon Bridge.

The street was deserted, the lights dim. Wei Xiangzuo walked along the roadside for about a hundred meters when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Wei Xiangzuo stopped, reached into his pocket, and opened the message, reading its contents.

"Don't go to Dragon Bridge. Xu Hu's men are there to ambush you!"

Under the streetlight, Wei Xiangzuo looked down at the message, his hairs standing on end. He abruptly turned to look at the alleyway entrance.

How had his location been leaked again?!

Was there a mole in his car? This was the first thought that came to Wei Xiangzuo's mind, but at the same time, his thoughts were conflicted. If there really was a mole, why had the counter-ambush scheme on Beian Street succeeded? The same people had been in his car then.

After a brief pause, Wei Xiangzuo immediately ran toward the alleyway while dialing the number of the person he was supposed to meet.

"Beep beep...!"

A busy signal sounded, and the call was disconnected.

Wei Xiangzuo dialed two more times, but the call didn't go through. The other person's phone seemed to have no signal, or perhaps it was in airplane mode.

"Damn it!"

Wei Xiangzuo cursed, rushing to the entrance of the alley and waving his hand, shouting, "Drive! Come here!"

Inside the car, the driver, Xiao Xuan, hearing the shout, immediately shifted into drive, preparing to rush out and meet Wei Xiangzuo.

At that moment, two SUVs suddenly screeched out onto the main street by Dragon Bridge, speeding toward the alleyway.

Wei Xiangzuo turned his head to look at the road, seeing three people in each of the two SUVs lean out of the windows, wielding handguns and folding submachine guns.

Wei Xiangzuo reacted quickly, immediately stepping into the alleyway. The moment he entered, a burst of gunfire erupted behind him.

Bullets swept across the alleyway entrance, sending debris flying from the brick and cement walls. While running back, Wei Xiangzuo shouted, "Reverse! Back up!"

Xiao Xuan, who had just been about to drive out, immediately shifted into reverse upon hearing the shout, backing up.

"Bang, bang...!"

At that moment, gunfire also erupted from the rear exit of the alleyway. Three men wielding shotguns and handguns rushed in.

This time, Xu Hu hadn't brought many men, but the weapons they used were on a completely different level. Each of his henchmen had a gun.

It should be known that after the Nick case and the Gu Tongshan case, the police department had completely lost it. The recent shootings were more numerous than in the past five years combined, and many people had died. So the higher-ups had secretly formed a special task force to investigate the stevedore association and the Yu family's team.

At this stage, although the police department hadn't yet figured out the case or gathered any solid evidence, the atmosphere had become very tense. So anyone who dared to go against the wind and disrespect the higher-ups at this time would eventually be dealt with, it was just a matter of time.

But even so, Xu Hu was still prepared to kill Wei Xiangzuo against the odds.

In the alleyway, Xiao Xuan had only driven back less than twenty meters when both of the rear tires were shot out.

"Can't drive anymore, get out of the car!" Xiao Xuan shouted with his gun.

After the battle on Beian Street, Wei Xiangzuo's men were like frightened birds. They carried guns when they went out, just in case.

Hearing the shout, everyone immediately pushed open the car doors and jumped out. Wei Xiangzuo ran to the front of the van, looked back, and saw that the two SUVs from the main street had blocked the alleyway entrance.

Xiao Feng stepped forward and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother, climb the wall and go first!"

As he spoke, Cheng Gang, Xiao Xuan, and the others rushed to the front and sides of the van, firing outward to cover Wei Xiangzuo's retreat.

Wei Xiangzuo knew very well that they were after him, so he didn't hesitate. He took two steps back, took a running start, and rushed toward the wall on the left side of the alleyway.

The buildings along the Dragon River were either densely packed residential complexes or various small factories. In addition, the area was very close to the docks, and the security situation was poor. As a result, the walls around the alleys here were very high, about two and a half meters tall, and some even had iron nets on top.

Wei Xiangzuo's skills were beyond doubt. He took a running start to the wall, kicked off the wall with his right foot, and grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands.

It had been raining for a day and a night, and the wall was very slippery. When Wei Xiangzuo climbed up, his foot slipped, and his body fell down again.

At this critical moment, Xiao Xuan retreated from the front and actively bent over, using his shoulder to prop up Wei Xiangzuo's right foot: "Brother, run!"

Wei Xiangzuo used the force to leap directly onto the top of the wall, straddling the edge. He reached out and shouted, "Grab me, come up."

Xiao Xuan's action of propping up Wei Xiangzuo's foot exposed himself below the wall. There was no cover nearby, so the other side immediately targeted him.

"Da da da...!"

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out as a submachine gun swept across the side of the wall. Xiao Xuan had just grabbed Wei Xiangzuo's wrist when two bloody sprays erupted from his back.

"Come up!"

Seeing Xiao Xuan injured, Wei Xiangzuo used all his strength to pull him up. The latter gritted his teeth, stepped hard on the wall, and also leaped onto the high wall.

"Xiao Feng, come back, let's go... stop fighting." A strong man pulled Xiao Feng, who was covering them in the front, back to the side of the van.

"Climb the wall, hurry, climb the wall!" The strong man shouted at Xiao Feng.

As he spoke, the others also hurriedly stepped on the wall, pulling each other, and fled to the walls on the left and right sides.

"Don't wait, Brother, go first, hurry, or we'll all be buried here." Xiao Feng climbed to the opposite wall, firing his gun to cover his brothers, while shouting wildly.

"Let's go together!" Wei Xiangzuo also fired his gun from the top of the wall.

Xiao Xuan, who was seriously injured, immediately reached out and pushed Wei Xiangzuo when he saw that he wasn't leaving: "Go, Brother!"

Wei Xiangzuo was pushed off the wall to the other side. Immediately afterward, Xiao Xuan jumped down, blood streaming from his nose, and shouted, "Run! Run!"

Wei Xiangzuo supported him and ran toward the small factory's courtyard, while Xiao Feng, Cheng Gang, and the others scattered and fled the scene from the top of the wall.

In the alleyway, the strong man who had covered Xiao Feng and Wei Xiangzuo was ultimately shot six times and died.

After escaping from the small factory, Wei Xiangzuo didn't dare to flee toward the street. Without thinking, he jumped into the Dragon River, taking Xiao Xuan with him and disappearing.

...

Inside a villa in Longkou District.

Xu Hu sat on the sofa, waiting anxiously.

About five minutes later, a man walked in and whispered in Xu Hu's ear, "Wei Xiangzuo got wind of it in advance and ran away."

Hearing this, Xu Hu's eyes turned red. He suddenly stood up and kicked the chair next to him, looking at everyone in the room with his hands on his hips.

Li Hongze was there, Gu Tongshan's wife and children were there, the head of Longkou District was there, as well as several core leaders, and finally... the group from the Elders' Council who had taken the money was also there!

Xu Hu scanned the crowd, gnashing his teeth and shouting, "This room can't even tell who's a friend and who's a spy anymore, is that right?!"
