Ling Zhenfei's movement speed was so fast that the thugs couldn't even see his shadow. Under his barrage of gunfire, they fell to the ground in rows.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei so unstoppable, the other thugs were terrified, who would dare to come forward and court death?
Soon, the bullets in Ling Zhenfei's gun ran out. He threw the gun aside and leaped forward with an outstretched palm, grabbing for Hei Biao.
There were still a dozen or so armed bandits in the area, and Ling Zhenfei could not eliminate them all in a short time.
He now needed to capture Hei Biao as a human shield, to hold them off while waiting for Guo Qing'an, Han Lian, and a large police force to arrive.
"Damn kid, die!"
Seeing Ling Zhenfei attacking again, Hei Biao, frantic and furious, picked up a submachine gun and howled as he opened fire on Ling Zhenfei.
But Ling Zhenfei's reaction speed was even faster than a volley of bullets; with a quick teleport, he was right in front of Hei Biao, sneering as he reached out to grab him.
At such a close distance, the gun was useless. Shocked, Hei Biao threw the gun away, swinging his fists and arms, trying to block Ling Zhenfei's assault.
Hei Biao was a man of the Jianghu, having struggled in Binyang's underworld for decades to earn his current position, his skills were indeed formidable. An average Martial Arts master really couldn't get close to him!
However, for a martial artist like Ling Zhenfei who appeared out of nowhere, Hei Biao's skills simply did not measure up.
"Hei Biao, you better behave!"
A disdainful sneer crossed Ling Zhenfei's lips, and instead of evading, he advanced forward, stretching out a single palm to firmly grasp the fist that Hei Biao swung at him.
Crack!
Hei Biao's fist, seemingly powerful enough to create a whistling wind, was immediately like mud against paper when it met Ling Zhenfei's hand; he firmly gripped it and broke all five of Hei Biao's finger bones.
Ah!
Hei Biao let out a miserable cry, the pain from his fingers shot to his heart, and sweat droplets the size of soybeans immediately rolled down his forehead.
But sure enough, this guy deserved to be a district boss; even after being dealt a harsh blow by Ling Zhenfei, he did not immediately give in. He quickly lifted his leg, aiming to attack Ling Zhenfei with his knee.
Hmph!
Ling Zhenfei had already seen his scheme, and with a cold snort, he clenched the other free hand into a fist and struck hard on his knee.
Crack!
Another horrifying sound of breaking bones ensued—Hei Biao's knee had been utterly shattered by Ling Zhenfei's punch.
These two seemingly simple punches had instantly turned Hei Biao, a brutally violent underworld boss, into a cripple.
Ow!
At this point, Hei Biao was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground, clutching his knee, and let out a pig-slaughter-like wail.
After brutally crippling Hei Biao, Ling Zhenfei showed no mercy and kicked Hei Biao unconscious with another swift kick.
Then, turning back, he looked down at the already stunned Wang Changming and the assembled thugs with an arrogant gaze, "What will it be, will you all come at once? Or shall I take you down one by one?"
"Charge! Attack together! Kill him! Kill him!"
The hired thugs had already been so terrified by Ling Zhenfei's arrogant and ruthless tactics that they didn't dare to move recklessly, and it took Wang Changming a while to regain his senses before he gritted his teeth and waved his hand at the crowd.
Bang!
However, just as the crowd was preparing to follow Wang Changming's order and launch a final, frenzied attack on Ling Zhenfei, a gunshot suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately afterward, an authoritative voice shouted, "Everyone inside, listen up! We are from the Binyang police force. You are now surrounded by our forces. Please lay down your weapons and come out to surrender immediately!"
Although these thugs were fierce, they still feared the police. Hearing that they were surrounded, they suddenly panicked like rats trapped in a bellows, desperately scurrying around.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The police have guns, and so do we. We can fight them!"
Knowing that he had committed countless crimes and would face the death penalty if caught by the police, Wang Changming decided to fight against the police to the very end.
Thud!
However, no sooner had Wang Changming finished speaking his delusional words, than he felt a figure rush by his side like a gust of wind and with a punch, knocked him out cold.
"Those who want to live, raise your guns to surrender immediately and squat down on the ground honestly. You are all accomplices; your crimes are not punishable by death. Don't foolishly waste your lives for these two villains!"
The one who knocked out Wang Changming was, without a doubt, Ling Zhenfei.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
The thugs had never seen someone as formidable as Ling Zhenfei. They were immediately terrified and raised their guns high, squatting on the ground without daring to move recklessly.
Seeing that all the criminals had squatted down, Guo Qing'an, Han Lian, and Zhuo Yue, along with a squad of police officers, finally rushed into the courtyard.
"Hahaha... Zhenfei, you are just too amazing! This time I, Director Guo, am truly and thoroughly impressed by you!"
Guo Qing'an did not expect to crack such a big case in the depths of the mountains and forests. Overjoyed, he quickly stepped forward and gave Ling Zhenfei a bear hug, laughing and patting his shoulder in admiration.
"Director Guo, Han Lian, this is indeed their secret underground base for harboring kidnapped girls."
After briefly communicating with everyone, Ling Zhenfei stomped on the ground with his foot and said in a grave voice, "You all would never have guessed that this underground base is truly underground, right beneath us."
"What? The base is underground?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Qing'an and the others were all startled, clearly not expecting such a revelation.
"Yes! Come on, let's go uncover the secrets hidden underneath this abandoned factory in the mountains!"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, took a few surrendering criminals, and had them lead the way. He then proceeded with Guo Qing'an and the others down the elevator to the mysterious underground base.
What Ling Zhenfei and the others did not anticipate was that the scale of this underground base was so massive, it could practically be described as an "underground palace."
Indeed, after going down and conducting an investigation, they confirmed that it was a hidden training base for ancient military forces, which had been abandoned after the wars ended.
It has to be said, Hei Biao and Wang Changming were not to be underestimated; they had somehow discovered this hidden camp beneath the depths of the mountains without anyone noticing, and had repurposed it for the Chen family's nefarious activities.
Ling Zhenfei, Guo Qing'an, and a team of police officers entered the underground and found the kidnapped girls trapped there, proceeding to rescue them one by one.
Such a shocking case was unheard of in Binyang City, and even on a national level, it was considered a major and serious crime.
As a reporter for the provincial station, Zhuo Yue was able to record and report on this case immediately, which energized him as if he had taken a stimulant, even more so than the police officers.
