124: Connecting the manhole cover with bare face

As two gunshots rang out, the muzzle flash instantly illuminated the surroundings in a fiery red.

The firelight was seared into Lin Jia's terrified pupils; she was at a loss for a moment, her eyes wide as she froze on the spot.

The instant the shots rang out, Lin Jia felt her heart tremble violently!

They really shot!

And there was no warning before they acted; both sides pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Lin Jia had never seen a scene like this; normally, she hadn't even seen live chickens or fish being butchered much.

But at this moment, she was witnessing a gunfight!

If she hadn't desperately controlled her emotions,

she probably would have screamed, covering her ears, like a 'white lotus' female lead in a TV drama.

Enveloped by fear, Lin Jia forced herself to calm down.

What was the situation now? Who was shot?

If the person hit was Su Yue...

Then Wang Lin's next target would definitely be her!

This concerned her life and death,

Lin Jia suppressed the panic in her heart, her gaze fixed on the two of them.

In extreme tension, she even forgot to breathe.

It was also at this moment that a shout, enduring pain, came from ahead:

"Hiss... damn it, I'll mince you!"

This was clearly Wang Lin's voice!

Lin Jia's gaze sharpened, her sight landing on Wang Lin.

She saw that he had changed his usual demeanor, no longer having his previous composure,

Lin Jia noticed that the right hand holding his gun hung down, and there was clearly a bloody wound on his shoulder!

He was shot! Although it wasn't a fatal blow.

But his shoulder was severely injured, clearly one arm could no longer be lifted!

Lin Jia's heart trembled, and she quickly looked towards Su Yue.

When she saw Su Yue still standing there, her heart, which had been hanging, finally settled.

However, after observing for a couple of seconds, Lin Jia's brow furrowed again.

Because she saw that although Su Yue was still standing there.

But using the dim light from the surroundings, Lin Jia noticed something unusual about his left arm.

The greyish-white Water Products Company uniform was gradually being stained dark red with blood...

Bright red blood flowed down his arm.

However, when it reached his wrist, Su Yue tightened his cuff, preventing the blood from dripping down.

Oh no, Su Yue was also injured!

As this thought emerged, Lin Jia subconsciously covered her mouth.

...

Just as Lin Jia saw, Su Yue was also feeling the pain from his arm at this moment.

It felt like a freshly forged knife had sliced his arm.

Everything just now happened too quickly; it seemed he hadn't been able to dodge the bullet Wang Lin shot.

With the warmth on his arm, blood was gushing from the wound.

His blood-stained sleeve was also clinging tightly to his skin.

Blood soaked the sleeve, continuously overflowing down his arm.

The wound was burning with pain.

Su Yue assessed his own injury while watching Wang Lin's condition.

From the burning sensation, it seemed the bullet hadn't hit the bone in his arm.

Instead, it had grazed the flesh on the upper part of his right arm.

The bullet hadn't remained in his body; Su Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, noticing the warmth on his arm, Su Yue also secretly tightened his cuff.

At the same time, he slightly bent his arm to concentrate the blood at the elbow so it wouldn't flow onto the ground.

After all, blood could detect DNA!

If Police wanted to investigate his identity, they would definitely not miss collecting blood samples from the scene and performing DNA comparisons in their database.

At the same time, Su Yue was replaying the scene just now in his mind.

When Wang Lin raised his gun and pointed it at him, Su Yue observed that the other party was holding the gun with his right hand.

And he was holding the gun single-handedly, which was extremely arrogant.

The intelligence agency had previously provided him with various weapons, which led Su Yue to gain some understanding of firearms.

He knew that the recoil of a handgun was actually not to be underestimated.

Even veterans who had undergone years of shooting training found it difficult to guarantee accuracy when holding a gun with one hand.

Let alone a young master like Wang Lin.

Once he fired, under the effect of recoil, there was a high probability that his trajectory would shift upwards.

And the right hand the other party was holding the gun with should be Wang Lin's dominant hand.

Under psychological influence, Wang Lin's aiming angle would subconsciously deviate to the right...

Analyzing the two together.

There was a very high probability that the bullet's trajectory would pass through the upper left side of his body.

Which was precisely where his heart was located!

Su Yue concluded based on the current situation that the situation was indeed too dangerous for him.

So before the other party pulled the trigger, Su Yue had already hinted to himself in his mind.

That he must react in advance.

Even if it was a guess, he had to avoid the trajectory of the opponent's bullet as much as possible!

Thus, the moment the muzzles of both guns simultaneously spat fire,

Su Yue, while trying his best to remain calm, forcibly controlled his subconsciously tensed and slightly stiff body with his will,

and finally managed to make a movement to dodge to the right!

And it was this slight movement that indeed created a favorable condition for him!

Although the short-lived movement of his body seemed slightly insignificant compared to the bullet's speed.

But fortunately, Su Yue had planned in advance, and his reaction was relatively timely.

Only then did the bullet graze the flesh on the upper part of his left arm and shoot past.

Otherwise, with that shot just now,

even if the bullet didn't land in his chest, it was very likely to pierce his left arm!

...

On the other hand, Wang Lin had completely not expected Su Yue's movements to be so fast!

From Su Yue taking off his baseball cap to reveal the hair underneath, to him pulling out his gun and counterattacking, these actions were seamless.

Wang Lin had just concluded based on the hairstyle that he was indeed not Yan Laoqi.

And he was still a bit surprised how Su Yue's voice was imitated so similarly.

The next second, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and immediately pulled the trigger first to gain the upper hand.

However, now it was Wang Lin's shoulder that was pierced by a bullet, and his right hand holding the gun had also dropped powerlessly.

At this moment, Wang Lin was still gritting his teeth in pain,

The fury gushing from his eyes looked like it wanted to tear Su Yue into pieces alive!

Low growls came from his throat.

His left hand was reaching for his gun, preparing to act again.

And just as Wang Lin's left hand reached down, wanting to switch hands to hold the gun.

Su Yue stared at his every move, giving him no chance to switch hands.

"Now!" Su Yue shouted towards the dark area behind Wang Lin.

This shout did not deliberately imitate Yan Laoqi either.

As soon as Lin Jia heard this voice, she realized it was the same voice as Su Yue's before!

However, she was startled after hearing the words clearly.

It sounded like Su Yue was calling out to hidden reinforcements who had already been concealed.

Could it be... Su Yue also brought help?

But where were the people?

Before Su Yue arrived, she hadn't seen anyone else besides Wang Lin, right?

...

As Su Yue's voice fell, Wang Lin's expression also darkened.

He quickly prepared to turn around and look towards the dark area.

But the severe pain from his shoulder made his movements extremely difficult.

And before he could turn around, he heard a bang from behind!

A chill instantly shot up Wang Lin's back; he strained to turn his neck and look behind him.

However, just as his face turned behind him.

The next second, a manhole cover slammed into his face!

'Slap!' Wang Lin's face made intimate contact with the manhole cover!

The sound of his nasal bone breaking was exceptionally clear!

The force of this suddenly flying manhole cover was indeed powerful, its impact even comparable to a riot shield!

With just one impact, Wang Lin nearly had several teeth knocked out.

Moreover, at zero distance contact, he even tasted the lingering seafood smell left on the manhole cover!

In addition, his mouth and nose seemed to be filled with the smell of rust.

It was hard to tell if it was from the manhole cover or the taste of the fresh blood in his own mouth.

This sudden blow caused Wang Lin to stumble.

At the same time, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He had clearly made ample preparations, even specifically arranging so many thugs to lure out the person behind Lin Jia.

But now, not only had he not caught the fish, but the fishhook had been damaged, and he had been tricked by this Su Yue!

Thinking of this, Wang Lin was consumed by rage.

In near frenzy, he no longer intended to raise his gun and aim.

Didn't even see who was behind the manhole cover, only wanting to kill everyone present.

So, enduring the pain in his shoulder and face, he immediately wanted to pull the trigger.

...

With a clang, the manhole cover that had just hit Wang Lin's face smashed heavily onto the ground.

And Su Yue and Lin Jia only saw the person behind just now.

The person who shot out from the sewer shaft was undoubtedly Liang Yuzhu.

But Su Yue still remembered that Liang Yuzhu was wearing a waterproof suit when moving in the sewer.

Perhaps worried that it would affect her movement when shooting out from the shaft, she had taken it off.

At this moment, Liang Yuzhu was only wearing a dark green vest on her upper body.

It outlined her body lines, shaped by long-term training, making her look very capable.

She had been in position in the shaft for a long time and felt anxious when she heard the gunshots above just now.

So, as soon as she received the signal from Yuan, she immediately shot out from the shaft.

And in doing so, she threw the lifted manhole cover towards the back of Wang Lin's head.

It was just that Liang Yuzhu hadn't expected this.

After hearing Yuan's voice, Wang Lin would actually turn his head to check the situation behind him.

This caused the manhole cover, which was originally meant for the back of his head, to be blocked by his face.

And Wang Lin was clearly furious at this moment.

The shoulder holding the gun couldn't even be lifted.

But he still pulled the trigger, venting a few more bullets.

The bullets fired from the barrel were deeply embedded in the surrounding mottled, damp concrete walls.

Seeing this, Liang Yuzhu didn't delay and directly lifted her leg to kick Wang Lin's gun-holding arm!

The kick had full force, and Wang Lin's shoulder was already injured.

His handgun was subsequently kicked several meters away.

"Peh..." Seeing the gun in his hand kicked away, Wang Lin stood there fiercely.

His gaze was like that of a hungry wolf, silently observing Su Yue and Liang Yuzhu.

Because he had just taken the manhole cover with his face.

At this moment, Wang Lin's face was covered in blood, and his expression looked extremely ferocious.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and surprisingly, laughed in anger, saying in a deep voice:

"I arranged so many thugs outside, yet you were still able to get here."

"Who... exactly are you?"

Wang Lin spoke word by word, also observing Liang Yuzhu opposite him.

As if seeing some clue from Liang Yuzhu, Wang Lin's expression froze.

And just as he was stunned, Liang Yuzhu had already taken a pair of silver handcuffs from her waist.

Upon seeing this gleaming pair of silver handcuffs, Wang Lin's face instantly changed.

But the next second, Liang Yuzhu had already walked up to him and directly restrained both of his arms.

Ignoring Wang Lin's roars, she cuffed his hands behind his back.

"I am a Police Officer," Liang Yuzhu said coldly.

"Wang Lin, I am now legally arresting you on charges of kidnapping, infringing upon citizens' personal rights, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and other crimes."

"Furthermore, according to the intelligence our police have, you are suspected of controlling Sihai Shipping for illegal transnational smuggling, hiring someone to kill Sun Xiangdong... If you have anything to say, wait until you get to court to explain."

As Liang Yuzhu's words fell.

Wang Lin's face became incredibly grim, and he fell silent.

In fact, when he discovered Liang Yuzhu's identity, he sensed that things were bad.

But now, hearing the list of crimes she presented, it even included smuggling!

How is this possible?

A trace of surprise flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

He believed everything he had done before was seamless and had been hidden very well.

What's more, Sun Xiangdong was already dead.

Even if Police launched an investigation, the clues should have ended with him.

How did Police know all of this and determine that these matters were related to him?!

And although Wang Lin didn't show any fear on his face.

But from his silence, Liang Yuzhu could also sense the change in his mindset.

So she continued to pressure his psychological defenses, saying coldly:

"Wang Lin, did you think what you did was foolproof?"

"Let me tell you, no one can escape the punishment of the law."

"Police have been watching you for a long time, just secretly observing and collecting evidence!"

Liang Yuzhu spoke forcefully, as if she had thought of something.

Then she cleared her throat twice, not forgetting to add:

"Of course, this also wouldn't be possible without a few important clues Yuan provided to Police. You can't escape now!"

When Liang Yuzhu finished speaking, Wang Lin's expression finally couldn't hold up anymore.

He immediately looked at Su Yue, his eyes filled with immense resentment and shock.

Hearing her speak with such certainty, it seemed they really had evidence.

And it was Yuan who provided the clues to Police?!

A tempest had already risen in Wang Lin's heart.

He originally thought Lin Jia was the last loose end to get rid of.

Upon realizing someone was guiding her from behind, he just wanted to eliminate the root of the problem.

But he hadn't expected that Yuan had already set his sights on him.

And had even been secretly investigating with Police.

Wang Lin was originally going fishing, but he didn't expect that he was the fish!

And he had already taken the bait long ago, without even realizing it!

"Who exactly is he...!"

...

Wang Lin looked at Su Yue, muttering absentmindedly.

Just then, a piercing police siren sounded, instantly breaking the silence underground.

Then, a commotion was heard outside.

It seemed some thugs had woken up and were fleeing in panic in all directions.

And Su Yue's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing Police siren.

Although his face was disguised,

But if he were to go to Police Station for questioning, there would inevitably be a risk of his identity being exposed.

At this moment, Liang Yuzhu saved Lin Jia and explained to Su Yue:

"I just sent my location to Police Station, and the main force has just arrived."

"After all, those thugs are desperate criminals; we have to arrest them all."

Liang Yuzhu then looked at Su Yue, her gaze fixed on his arm.

"Police Officer, Yuan was also injured just now!" Lin Jia said urgently.

And seeing Yuan's left sleeve soaked dark red, Liang Yuzhu's brow furrowed.

"Yuan, come with us. I will send someone to get you treated as soon as possible."

Su Yue heard this and was also clear about his injury.

He definitely couldn't go with Liang Yuzhu and them now.

But the wound on his arm also needed to be treated quickly.

There were medicines to treat it in his intelligence room.

And in this situation, he also had to ensure his identity wasn't discovered...

Su Yue glanced at this co-renting housemate.

It seemed he could only seize the opportunity while she stayed to cooperate with Police to go back and treat his wound beforehand.

Otherwise, if anything seemed off, Lin Jia would inevitably become suspicious.

Thinking this, Su Yue immediately shook his head and said lightly:

"No need. Handle your matters."

Then he turned and walked away, leaving only a retreating figure.

Just before Su Yue was about to step into the darkness, his figure stopped at the corner of the passage.

His gaze searched and found an object reflecting a faint metallic sheen.

So his right hand quietly swept across the wall, as if he had thought of something, and he said without turning his head:

"Oh right, Officer Liang, don't forget the agreement between us."

Watching Yuan's figure disappear into the dark passage, Liang Yuzhu's mind was filled with thoughts.

It wasn't until Police sirens outside got closer that she finally contacted the main force.

"...Yes, the person has been apprehended."

"Number of people to arrest? Besides Wang Lin who has been apprehended..."

"There are thirteen others."

Liang Yuzhu glanced at the inky darkness, and in the end, only reported the number of thugs.

Then, remembering the thug whose clothes had been stripped in the shaft, she reminded the people above:

"Oh, remember to pay attention to the surrounding sewer pipes and set up some personnel near the exits."

"Be mentally prepared, there might be a surprise."
