Yu Yi took out her gun, skillfully removing the magazine, then reloading it and assuming a shooting stance, the entire process taking less than two seconds.
Meng Qing’s eyes flashed with surprise, then he nodded satisfactorily, “Looks like you’ve been practicing well.” He pulled up the factory floor plan and began explaining how she should provide cover during the operation.
Guo Long’s subordinates saw Guo Long still lying on the ground, exposed under dense gunfire, and hurriedly rushed over to pull him.
Yu Yi and Meng Qing had put away the camera when the first shot was fired. Seeing the subordinate about to rescue Guo Long, he quickly drew his gun and aimed to shoot at his leg. But the distance was far, and the person’s legs were constantly moving while running. With zero practical experience, she fired two shots without hitting him. During this time, the subordinate had already dragged Guo Long to a concealed spot.
At this moment, Xie Hui was returning fire while shouting, “Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! This isn’t my doing. Everyone stop, don’t shoot!”
Being pulled by his subordinate, Guo Long was in pain and grimacing. Hearing Xie Hui shout “Everyone stop, don’t shoot!”, he was suddenly furious, roaring, “Why don’t you stop?”
Xie Hui shouted, “You stop first!”
“Stop your mother!” Guo Long cursed, “Daring to mess with me, none of these sons of bitches are getting out alive today!”
“
“Fuck your informant, no one in Longnan dares to mess with my black ops!”
While Xie Hui was arguing, his gun never stopped. He knew he had few people with him, and everyone in the underworld knew that Tu Long was ruthless – anyone who had ever offended him would be eliminated, intentionally or not. Xie Hui had made up his mind to fight to the death, deciding to wipe out Tu Long’s entire group and take over his territory.
During the firefight between Meng Qing and Yu Yi, they would shoot the drug dealers on whichever side seemed weaker. After several instances, some people noticed something was off – the shooting angles were strange, and teammates hiding behind machine beds were still getting shot in the legs. Both Tu Long and Xie Hui’s groups noticed someone shooting from the side, and they discovered Meng Qing, shouting and returning fire.
Meng Qing simply stood up and quickly ran towards the other end of the hundred-meter walkway. The bulletproof system could typically only sustain for about thirty seconds. So Meng Qing began counting, 1 second, changing the empty magazine, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, firing back while running.
Someone fired at her, and although the bullets were blocked by the force field of the bulletproof system, the residual energy could still be felt.
This was Yu Yi’s first time experiencing the defensive function of the bulletproof system. She initially took a small step forward out of surprise to maintain her body balance, then quickly turned around.
The ambushing drug dealer was very close to Yu Yi. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, he was even more shocked. As she turned, he immediately fired several more shots, each aimed at Yu Yi’s head and body, but each shot “missed”.
Yu Yi was now prepared for the residual kinetic energy of the bullets and stood firmly, identifying the attacker’s position before returning fire.
After her position was exposed, several drug dealers began shooting at her simultaneously. Yu Yi started to get nervous as she tried to maintain her composure to keep her gun hand steady. But a voice kept repeating in her mind, “Only thirty seconds!”
At this moment, her lack of experience became a fatal flaw. She couldn’t clearly judge how long it had been since the first sneak attack. Her head was buzzing, and she hesitated whether to immediately find cover or try to injure all these drug dealers, who were mostly hiding, with only their heads or shoulders exposed.
Yu Yi’s heart was racing, and sweat beaded at her temple. She aimed at a drug dealer’s head and fired for the first time. After the first shot, things became easier. She had no other thoughts now, just aiming, shooting, and repeating.
After two drug dealers fell, no one fired at Yu Yi anymore.
Meng Qing, from above, had taken down three more.
Meng Qing, seeing no more threats around Yu Yi, turned to look towards the factory entrance. At this moment, Xie Hui and one of his subordinates had taken the opportunity to escape from the factory and were running frantically towards their car. Meng Qing smiled slightly, raised his gun, and fired two shots. Xie Hui and his subordinate both rolled to the ground, crying out in pain, both shot in the thigh.
Meng Qing didn’t look at them again. He focused on searching for Guo Long inside the factory.
Yu Yi sent a voice message from the client: “Guo Long is no longer here. He’s escaped.”
Meng Qing frowned slightly, replying: “How do you know?”
“I checked with infrared glasses. The factory is full of injured drug dealers lying down, with no one crouching or sitting. The number of people on the ground is forty-one, with Xie Hui and his subordinate outside the factory entrance. The total is missing two people, so…”
Meng Qing agreed with her assessment. There was an iron ladder beside him leading to the factory entrance, so he quickly descended, jumping over the railing from about three meters high and landing gracefully. Yu Yi also ran to the entrance, scanning inside the factory. She asked Meng Qing: “What about these people?”
“
Meng Qing opened the client, tapped a few times, and anonymously dialed the police and emergency services using a pre-set program. “Okay, police cars and ambulances will arrive. Let’s go chase Guo Long.”
Chapter 50: Drug Trafficking Group (3)
Meng Qing pulled open the door of the black Range Rover parked at the factory entrance and gestured for Yu Yi to get in. This Range Rover was the car Guo Long had driven for the transaction. While his subordinates were attacking Yu Yi, Guo Long’s men had secretly slipped out without using this vehicle to escape.
Guo Long was crafty and had likely arranged backup vehicles at other locations in the factory area.
Meng Qing drove out of the factory area without slowing down, executing a drift to switch to the opposite lane, speeding north along the highway.
Yu Yi asked curiously: “Do you know where Guo Long will escape to?”
“About 90% sure,” Meng Qing said, staring ahead. “Target number one, Guo Long, is afraid of dying. With a leg wound, he has a private doctor in Langnan City. So he’ll most likely go there to treat his injury. By now, target number two should know about this confrontation. We need to hurry.”
He looked back at Yu Yi, “You brought the camera?”
“Yes,” Yu Yi nodded, pulling out the camera from her pants pocket. She had also brought out the box of crystal meth and the money box, knowing that leaving evidence at the scene might cause it to mysteriously “disappear”.
Meng Qing then asked: “Can you drive?”
“No.”
“I suggest you learn.”
Yu Yi searched the client and found that learning vehicle driving skills only required 3 points, so she chose to implant the memory.
To her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she saw Meng Qing had unbuckled his seatbelt and left the driver’s seat. Yu Yi quickly realized and took over the driver’s seat, gripping the steering wheel.
Fortunately, this was a straight road in the suburbs with no other vehicles around. Yu Yi successfully took over driving and was about to complain to Meng Qing when a “beep, beep” alarm sounded in the car. She carefully checked the source of the alarm, finding a small warning light blinking.
Meng Qing pulled a gray strap over her shoulder, wrapped it around her front, and inserted it into the seat belt lock next to her seat. “Don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt.”
