Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Resolving the Bandit Crisis
Hearing this, Ling Fengās brows slightly furrowed; it seemed his guess was indeed correct. The robbersā target was not to rob the bank but to tie down the Criminal Police Team. But why would they do that?
"Could it be..." A sudden shock went through Ling Fengās heart, as an ominous thought struck him.
Just yesterday, Ling Feng had just assisted Bai Feifei in capturing Lone Wolf, a major drug lord, and two top experts of the United Hearts Gang. And today, there were robbers robbing a bank to distract the Criminal Police Teamācould there be a connection?
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, prepare the final checkpoint, letās give Bai Feifei a surprise!" the leader chuckled with a sinister laugh.
Lao Si took something out of his bag, causing Ling Fengās complexion to change dramatically!
"Itās actually dynamite, where did these people get this from?"
Under Ling Fengās wary gaze, the robbers, Third Brother and Lao Si, quickly wrapped Zheng Xinyi and Xiao Peng with this dynamite and then connected a device to it.
"Donāt move, this is the most sophisticated heartbeat-triggered time bomb. If you fidget, the device might fail to detect your heartbeat and it could blow you into pieces!" Second Brother laughed sinisterly, "I see you two seem like a pair with mixed feelings of love and resentment. If you canāt live together, dying together isnāt bad either!"
"No, no, I donāt want to die!" Xiao Peng turned pale, trembling as he looked at the bomb strapped to him.
Seeing everything was set up, the leader checked the time and then said, "Grab a few women as hostages, and then weāll break out."
Third Brother and Lao Si scanned around and then their gaze fell on Liu Tingyu.
Ling Feng inwardly cursed at the situation.
"You, you, and you! The three of you, come to us!" Among those pointed at was none other than Liu Tingyu.
Liu Tingyuās body trembled, on the verge of getting up, but was pushed down by Ling Feng: "Donāt move, leave everything to me."
As he spoke, Ling Feng stood up, looking directly at the four robbers.
With a "click," as Ling Feng stood, two of the robbers aimed their handguns at him.
"Are you her boyfriend?" The leader looked at Ling Feng, then at Liu Tingyu on the side, and asked indifferently.
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Whether I am or not is not a question you are entitled to ask. I had no intention of getting involved in your fight with the police, but it seems youāve eventually made the mistake of involving me."
"Boss, is this guy crazy?" Third Brother laughed, "Who does he think he is? Thatās just hilarious!"
Ling Feng replied calmly, "I suppose your goal this time isnāt to rob the bank, but to rescue someone, right?"
The leaderās eyes flickered slightly, then said evasively, "I donāt know what youāre talking about!"
"No need to pretend!" Ling Feng retorted, "Your eyes just now have already betrayed you, but what I donāt know is which faction you belong to. Is it Lone Wolf, or Situ Wushui?"
The leaderās face suddenly changed, "Attack!"
With that, he lunged at Ling Feng. Ling Fengās words had made many things clearāat the very least, they were enemies, not friends!
Moreover, Ling Feng had given the leader a very unsettling feeling, so he decided to strike first!
Following the leaderās command, Second Brother lunged too. Their figures intertwined back and forth, blocking Ling Fengās movements on both sides. It was clear that there was strong coordination between them, and both had considerable strength!
"Bring it on!" Ling Feng bellowed lowly, bowing his body and crashing into the arms of Second Brother.
"Die!" Second Brotherās hand, shaped like an eagleās claw, reached towards Ling Fengās head and throat.
Crushing Mountain Sticker! Ling Fengās body sank heavy, slamming into Second Brother with full force.
With a thud, Second Brotherās body was suddenly sent flying, crashing heavily onto the counter.
With a gasp, a spurt of fresh blood burst forth, and in the eyes of the robber Second Brother, there was endless terror.
"How could a single move strike me flying and leave me severely injured? Who exactly is this young man?"
Bang Bang Bang! Robber Second Brother was sent flying, and right after, Lao San and Lao Si began firing at Ling Feng.
A red light flashed in Ling Fengās eyesāhe had already seen the bulletsā trajectory! With a flicker, he vanished from in front of them.
"Eh? Whereād he go?" Lao San and Lao Si were astonished, their bullets hitting the marble floor, but the person had disappeared!
"Be careful, heās behind you!" The robber leader saw Ling Fengās figure and couldnāt help but shout loudly.
Before the two could react, Ling Feng pressed a hand against each of their heads and brought them together with great force. Their bodies went limp, and they toppled over.
"Now itās just you left," Ling Feng said indifferently. "Speak your purpose, and if you do, I might let you live."
Sweat beads continuously streamed down the face of the robber leader. He couldnāt understand how such a freak had appeared here!
"Want to know our purpose? Wishful thinking!" the robber leader said calmly. "While youāre strong, Iām not a pushover either. I..."
Ling Fengās brow furrowed. "Annoying! Of course, I know youāre not a vegetarian. Monks are the ones who eat vegetables, right?"
As he spoke, Ling Fengās figure blurred into a phantom, rushing toward the robber leader.
Bang Bang Bang! The robber leader fired three shots, but Ling Feng dodged them all!
"Your skills arenāt bad, but you rely too much on firearms," Ling Feng whispered into the ear of the robber leader, having sidled up beside him unnoticed. "On this point, your Second Brother is much better than you."
With a swing of his palm, the robber leader was heavily slammed onto the ground.
Ribs fractured, internal organs jolted, every move made felt as though numerous steel knives were being plunged into his body.
A vicious glint appeared in the eyes of the robber leader: "Even if itās me, Iāll drag you down with me!"
As he said this, his hand lifted, and a bullet shot towards Zheng Xinyi.
If Zheng Xinyi died, the bomb on her would explode, turning the entire bank to ashes!
At the moment he fired, Ling Feng tossed a coin from his hand, and a one-yuan coin soared into the air.
With a sharp clang, the bullet and the coin collided in mid-air, the bulletās trajectory changed, shattering the glass nearby.
"You... what are you!" the robber leader shouted in despair.
Not only could he dodge bullets, but he could also intercept them mid-flight. Was this even something a human could do?
"Who I am is of no concern to you. Since youāre so uncooperative, Iāll have to hand you over to Bai Feifei," Ling Feng said before the robber leader could speak, and with a slash of his hand, the robber leader slumped to the ground.
Meanwhile, outside the bank, Bai Feifeiās expression tightened upon hearing the gunshots from within. "Could it be that the robbers have started to shoot the hostages? Damn it, Criminal Police Team, follow me; weāre going in!"
With a loud bang, Bai Feifei kicked open the bankās door: "Police, drop your weapons!"
But the scene before her left Bai Feifei completely astonished!
The four robbers were lying on the ground in disarray, and a familiar figure was squatting in front of a man and a woman.
"Ling Feng? How is it you again?" Bai Feifei couldnāt help but exclaim.
