I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 161 - : Discovering Han Xue
Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Discovering Han Xue
The sound of gunfire just now, the screams of colleagues, and the stench of blood in the air chilled the deputy team leader to the bone.
This was it, they were doomed.
“My career…”
The deputy team leader looked up to the sky and sighed deeply.
“Counterattack!”
“Hit them hard!”
...
The deputy team leader gritted his teeth and bellowed.
As he spoke, he gripped his pistol with one hand and returned fire toward the living room.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The deputy team leader didn’t care if he hit anything, he just fired three shots right away.
Firepower suppression, no need to aim.
As long as bullets flew in that direction, the people inside had to hide. Everyone’s flesh and blood, no one wants to “eat peanuts.”
With the leader taking the initiative, the remaining able team members also immediately returned fire.
For a time, a flurry of bullets poured into the living room.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately crouched down, hiding behind a solid wood leather sofa, daring not to show his head.
Bullets hitting the sofa made a dull noise; the solid wood was hard enough and the sofa thick enough that all the bullets hit the sofa without harming the middle-aged man at all.
With so many guns aimed at him and bullets coming at him as if they cost nothing, the middle-aged man, no matter how daring, dared not show his face.
He could only keep signaling to Fatty in the lounge, motioning for him to be alert and to open fire immediately if any police rushed in.
Receiving the middle-aged man’s signals, Fatty nodded, lifted his gun slightly to show he understood.
Fatty held his gun aimed at the living room.
As soon as someone showed their head, he would pull the trigger.
The deputy team leader clenched his teeth, enduring the sharp pain in his shoulder, firing his gun sporadically.
At the same time, he said to his subordinate next to him, “Quick, while we have the chance, rescue the wounded!”
Although the deputy team leader had been outwitted several times, he had merely underestimated the capabilities of the middle-aged man and his group, temporarily dumbfounded by the attack.
Now realizing his error, his intelligence regained the upper hand, and he immediately recognized what they needed to do most at the moment.
The gunman in the room was that middle-aged man involved in falsifying evidence, but that Fatty had yet to be seen.
This meant there were at least two criminals in the house, along with two guns!
Now one man had caused such heavy losses to his Criminal Investigation Team, but what about the other, Fatty?
Could there be other accomplices?
Only now did the deputy team leader realize how little they knew, how rash their operation had been.
The deputy team leader decided to think long-term, just guarding this door would mean the criminals inside could not escape.
Instead of continuing to put his team at risk, it was better to first rescue the wounded lying at the doorway.
Following the leader’s directives, the members of the Criminal Investigation Team regained their composure.
The rhythm of their shooting also became orderly.
While firing in turns rythmically, they arranged for personnel to treat the wounded; surely, if the middle-aged man showed his head, bullets would greet him.
“Captain, all the wounded have been rescued.”
A team member reported.
“Where’s the ambulance?”
The deputy team leader, clutching his shoulder, asked through clenched teeth.
“It’s almost here!”
“Expected in five minutes!”
The team member answered.
“What about backup?”
The deputy team leader continued.
If not for the delay in backup, his team wouldn’t have suffered such heavy casualties.
After all, they were just criminal investigators, not as well-equipped or tactically trained as their brother units.
Like shields, for example!
They in the Criminal Investigation Team, had only Blast Shields.
Which could not effectively protect against gunfire.
If it had been the Steel Shield, even fragments from a Hand Grenade could have been blocked.
If they had had a Steel Shield when they entered,
would there have been injuries?
Even if there were, it wouldn’t have been so many.
Moreover, the brother units’ weaponry included not only handguns but also various light and heavy weapons, including
Shock Grenades for breaching.
When they arrived at their second Criminal Investigation Team, the standard issue gear was just pistols and blast shields.
“Report, backup…”
“Backup…”
The subordinate stuttered and couldn’t articulate a reason.
“What’s wrong with the backup?”
The second team leader gritted his teeth and asked.
“The backup changed cars to come over and then got hit by another car.”
The subordinate said with a mournful expression.
“Damn?”
Upon hearing this, the second team leader was dumbfounded.
What kind of operation was this?
To respond to a call, and in such a short period, get hit twice?
No matter how the second team leader thought about it, he felt there was something fishy.
It’s too coincidental, right?
Leaning against the wall, the second team leader clenched his teeth and said, “Tell them to arrest everyone involved in both car accidents for questioning.”
“This damn thing definitely isn’t a coincidence.”
“It’s likely they are accomplices of the criminals inside.”
Hearing the second team leader’s order, the subordinate’s eyes brightened, and he immediately picked up his phone to make contact.
…
Inside Room 507 at the hotel!
“Han Xue!”
While reviewing surveillance footage, Fang Xiaocao exclaimed when she saw a seductive figure entering the hotel.
Although she had anticipated that Han Xue might return to the hotel, hoping against hope to avoid the police chase, seeing Han Xue’s figure actually appearing in the hotel surveillance video took Fang Xiaocao by surprise.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“This crazy woman really has some nerve.”
Fang Xiaocao muttered through clenched teeth.
“Buzz buzz buzz~”
The phone vibrated with a notification for a WeChat message.
It was a message from Tom.
Fang Xiaocao paused for a moment, opened WeChat, and checked the message from Tom.
[Tom: Princess Your Highness, I’ve spotted Han Xue! She’s already infiltrated the hotel!]
Just as Fang Xiaocao had spotted Han Xue, Tom, who was also reviewing the surveillance footage, naturally saw her as well.
The moment Tom spotted Han Xue, he immediately sent a WeChat message to Fang Xiaocao.
“I also saw Han Xue in the surveillance video!”
Fang Xiaocao responded with a message to Tom.
[Tom: Princess Your Highness, what should we do? Should I find where Han Xue is hiding and eliminate her?]
Tom even included an emoticon of a cleaver.
Looking at Tom’s message, Fang Xiaocao blinked and was somewhat tempted.
She despised Han Xue to the core.
If possible, Fang Xiaocao wanted to personally send that despicable woman to hell.
Of course, Fang Xiaocao was just thinking about it.
She wouldn’t be so impulsive.
Even if they were to act, she wouldn’t get involved personally, but would rather play a game of using someone else’s hand.
Fang Xiaocao didn’t want to risk herself just to kill Han Xue.
She still had plenty of good days ahead to enjoy.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xiaocao suddenly had an idea.
So, Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone and replied to Tom with a message: “Find Han Xue, but there’s no need for us to act.”
[Tom: No need for us to act personally?]
[Tom: Does Princess Your Highness have other helpers?]
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s reply made Tom incredibly curious.
“Yes and no,”
Fang Xiaocao replied with a mysterious smile.
[Tom: Princess Your Highness, stop teasing, I’m dying of curiosity.]
“All we need to do is make a phone call to the police.”
Fang Xiaocao sent the message to Tom with a cold laugh.
