Yang Bingning spoke and then left the command vehicle.
"Captain, I just learned from a property management staff member of this mall that thereâs a back door to the mall unknown to the public; we can enter the mall through there,"
the young police officer raced over and reported to Yang Bingning.
Suddenly, Yang Bingningâs eyes focused sharply, and she commanded with a glint of determination, "Prepare for action."
Meanwhile, inside the mall, one member of the gang spoke to their leader, "Boss, do you think theyâll agree to our demands?"
"With hundreds of people inside the mall, theyâll have to agree even if they donât want to. Are the bombs all set up?"
"Everythingâs ready, enough to destroy the entire mall. Hereâs the remote,"
one of the men said, as he took a red remote control with a button on it from his chest and handed it to the boss.
"These guys have really gone insane!"
With his exceptional hearing, Ye Luo heard all of their conversation. Learning that they planned to blow up the entire mall, he couldnât help but tense up.
"Grandpa, grandpa, how are you?"
"Grandpa, wake up, please!"
Just then, a series of urgent calling voices suddenly came from somewhere on the second floor of the mall. Using his Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo looked sharply over and saw an elderly man in a Sun Yat-sen suit with silver hair on the ground, with a young girl in a long dress and a ponytail beside him, calling out to him with a face full of urgent concern.
"What happened?" At this moment, Luo Jingxuan couldnât help but ask.
"Stay here and donât move."
Ye Luo immediately said, then darted out, quickly reaching the old manâs side.
"Heâs having a heart attack, donât move him recklessly."
Ye Luo scanned the old man once and spoke solemnly, while the young girl looked at him with a start, surprise evident on her face, not understanding how this man knew her grandfather had a heart condition.
The next second, Ye Luo wielded a Silver Needle and thrust it directly into a certain acupoint on the old manâs chest, rotating it slightly while a special kind of energy flowed into the old manâs body, causing him to let out a soft moan.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing her grandfather respond, the young girl called out with a face full of joy.
However, at this moment, the young girlâs repeated shouts had already drawn the attention of the gang of criminals. Immediately, three gunmen on the second floor approached, brandishing their weapons.
"Whatâs all this noise? Looking to die, are you?"
One of the criminals, with cold glint in his eyes, rudely shouted.
Seeing the terrifying eyes of the three criminals and the weapons in their hands, the girlâs face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled fearfully.
"Whatâs wrong with this old man?"
The three then approached the old man, and one of them kicked the old manâs body.
"My grandpa is having a heart attack. This gentleman is treating him. Please, please donât hurt my grandpa," the girl said with a look of pleading in her eyes.
"Hmph, since heâs sick, Iâll help him on his way,"
the criminal said with murderous eyes, as he gripped his gun, ready to pull the trigger on the old man.
"Donât!" the girl suddenly screamed in panic.
Thump!
But the next second, the gunman who was about to shoot collapsed onto the floor.
The scene unfolded too quickly for the other two criminals to react. They watched their comrade fall and immediately their faces changed as they raised their guns.
Click, click!
At that moment, Ye Luoâs body shot forward, grabbed the hands holding the guns and with a fierce twist, broke the arms of the two men instantly, causing their guns to drop.
Following that, Ye Luoâs feet lashed out, sending two more thugs flying through the air, crashing to the ground, coughing up blood, and losing their ability to fight.
The sudden turn of events caught the attention of the other thugs downstairs and upstairs. Two more thugs on the second floor heard the commotion and rushed over.
Ye Luo turned around, swinging his hands out, and two Silver Needles shot out swiftly, taking down the two approaching thugs before they could even fire their guns.
"Whatâs happening? Go up and check!"
At that moment, in the store on the first floor, the gang leader heard the noise from upstairs and his face darkened as he barked an order.
Just then, a figure jumped down directly from the second floor, landing on the ground from a height of four to five meters in an instant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
All of a sudden, streaks of silver light shot out, and the first three thugs fell to the ground with Silver Needles embedded in their throats.
"Damn, open fire!"
Seeing Ye Luo suddenly appearing, the gang leaderâs face sank, and he squeezed the trigger of the gun in his hand repeatedly.
Bang, bang, bang!
Ye Luo dodged with incredible speed, avoiding the bullets, and in a blur of motion, he discharged a number of Silver Needles. The speed of these needles matched the bullets and each hit its mark without fail.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so thugs on the first floor all fell to the Silver Needles, and Ye Luo charged straight toward the gang leader. He delivered a fierce kick, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough, cough... Who are you?"
The gang leader looked at Ye Luo with a terrified expression in his eyes from behind the mask.
"You donât need to know who I am," Ye Luo said indifferently, "but you guys ruined my good mood while shopping with the beauty, and thatâs unforgivable."
"Ha ha..."
The man then burst into laughter and suddenly raised another remote control in his hand, saying coldly, "No matter who you are, since you ruined our plan, youâre going to die with us."
As he was about to press the button on the remote control to reduce the shopping center to ashes, Ye Luo certainly wouldnât let him succeed. After all, he wasnât ready to die yet.
Whiz!
A Silver Needle shot into the guyâs head at the speed of lightning, causing his pupils to dilate as he fell to the ground, the remote control slipping from his grasp and hitting the floor.
"Donât move!"
Suddenly, from one of the mallâs passageways, a group of fully armed police officers wearing bulletproof vests and holding submachine guns burst in.
However, when they saw the scene before them, they showed a look of astonishment and froze for a moment.
This situation doesnât seem right, does it?
Werenât there supposed to be hostages?
Why is everyone lying on the ground?
For a moment, the police officersâ minds were filled with questions, but they quickly noticed the only person standing, Ye Luo, and their faces turned wary as they aimed all their weapons at him.
However, when they saw Ye Luoâs oddly dressed appearance, their expressions turned somewhat strange.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Iâm not a criminal. Youâre pointing so many guns at me, and itâs scaring me. Be careful of accidental discharges," Ye Luo protested, his face full of fear.
