Luo An and Reed settled themselves in the living room on the first floor of Qianbaisi's house, as Qianbaisi took over six photos with a very grim expression on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, a crisp female voice suddenly ca from the second floor:
"Dad!"
Luo An looked up to see a little girl around six or seven years old, wearing pink kitty pajamas, rubbing her eyes and rushing into Qianbaisi's arms:
"I'm scared~"
"Sorry."
Seeing his daughter in his arms, the gloom on Qianbaisi's face vanished in an instant, replaced with a look of utter indulgence.
After whispering a few soothing words in his daughter's ear, Qianbaisi lifted his head, full of apology, and said:
"This is my daughter, Donna."
Luo An and Reed smiled, waved their hands to apologize to the little girl, blaming themselves for waking her up.
According to Mona's information, Donna's mother died giving birth to her.
Victimized by fate, Luo An and Reed both showed ample tolerance.
Children's tempers co and go quickly, and coupled with the fact that it was already late at night, Little Donna threw a small tantrum and quickly fell asleep in Bai Qianbaisi's arms.
"She's always like this."
Holding Little Donna in his arms, Qianbaisi wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and smiled at Luo An and Reed:
"Every night she wakes up a few tis."
Not knowing what to say on this topic, Luo An stayed silent, while Reed nodding with full agreent, said:
"I understand you.
I have a son, and he was the sa when he was little."
Reed greatly admired Qianbaisi.
Being a single father is no easy task, let alone when the child is a daughter, and he himself is a policeman.
The two briefly chatted about the care of children when they were little, before quickly getting down to business.
Looking at the six photos on the table, Qianbaisi's expression turned serious. After contemplating for a mont, he picked up a photo of a Caucasian male and said:
"I don't rember the na Jorgen Landry, nor can I recall which case I handled might be related to him.
But I do rember this man, his specific na escapes , but his profession is a lawyer."
"A lawyer?"
Hearing that Qianbaisi couldn't recall any leads related to Jorgen Landry, Reed's expression faltered.
But hearing that the man in the photo was a lawyer lifted Reed's spirits again.
Just then, Luo An, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly felt discomfort all over his body, as if his seat had caught fire.
Rembering he had once consud a bottle of "Danger Perception Potion" (Chapter 57), Luo An's face changed color, and he quickly stood up, drew his pistol, and went to the window.
Seeing this, Reed hurriedly left the couch, drew his weapon, and asked:
"What's wrong, Luo..."
Before Reed could finish his sentence, a bright flash of light suddenly flew from behind a gray pickup truck across the street, heading their way.
Luo An, seeing this, turned around and shouted:
"Get down!!!"
A second before Luo An shouted, both Reed and Qianbaisi saw the flash of fire outside the house.
Both well-trained individuals, on hearing Luo An's command, Qianbaisi quickly clutched Little Donna tightly and dropped to the ground.
Reed, wearing a bulletproof vest, darted over to protect Bai Qianbaisi, the single father and witness.
The next second, accompanied by a long orange fla, the bright flash hit the main bedroom on the second floor of the house.
A loud explosion erupted!
Boom—
Fire blazed into the sky, debris scattered everywhere, and cars all along the street began to sound their alarms.
Luo An, hidden in the corner of the first floor, was hit hard by the shockwave of the explosion, feeling a surge of pain in his internal organs.
However, thanks to drinking a bottle of Stamina Potion every day after als, Luo An's resilience to pressure was far stronger than before.
"FU-K!
This motherf*cker is a rocket launcher!"
Despite the discomfort from all over his body, Luo An angrily pushed off the planks on top of him, and without saying another word, pulled out two stun grenades from his pocket and threw them with all his might at the house opposite.
Bang!
Bang!
Two explosions sounded, but regrettably, the enemies across from the house had already driven away from here right after firing the rocket launcher.
"I @%￥..."
Touching the wound next to his left eye caused by glass shards, Luo An's expression was extrely grim.
He had planned to chase after them by car, but suddenly, a strong sll of blood rushed into Luo An's nostrils.
Turning his head in a hurry, Luo An saw Reed and others buried under the planks in the living room.
With great effort, he lifted the planks. Reed was lying on top of Qianbaisi, his head severely struck by a plank that had fallen from the second floor, and he had already passed out.
As for Qianbaisi, Reed only managed to protect his vital organs like the heart and brain.
Qianbaisi's exposed legs, on the other hand, had a long and a short plank stabbed into them, with blood gushing out like it was free, and he had completely lost consciousness.
The only one who was not too badly hurt was Little Donna.
She was tightly protected in Qianbaisi's arms. Although she was startled awake from her sleep and had a few minor cuts on her arms and legs from the glass, she did not sustain any other serious injuries and was now crying loudly underneath Qianbaisi.
Though the community where Qianbaisi lived was not a rich area, there were quite a few police who patrolled nearby.
Saving lives was crucial, Luo An could not bear to see Little Donna lose her mother and then her police father.
Opening the system page, Luo An took out a bottle of [Hemostatic dicine], and in a spot out of Little Donna's sight, he poured it directly into Qianbaisi's mouth.
At this ti, Luo An and Reed also had various wounds exposed on their bodies.
Although not deep, it wasn't a solution to keep bleeding, especially the wound near Luo An's eye.
Furthermore, Luo An was planning to pursue the enemy, so he imdiately took out a second bottle of Hemostatic dicine, drank half himself, and fed the other half to Reed.
Drip, drip, drip——
Just then, the patrol officers from the nearby area also rushed over.
"FBI! My na is Luo An Greenwood!"
Loudly declaring his identity, Luo An imdiately shouted at the three officers who had arrived:
"The perpetrator drove off in a grey pickup truck, it hasn't been long since they left here, seal off this area imdiately!
Also, the suspect just used a rocket launcher! Don't rule out the possibility they have other high-threat weapons!"
"Understood!"
Upon hearing Luo An's orders, the three officers loudly acknowledged, with clear divisions of labor, they imdiately began reporting the incident, requesting to seal off the area while calling for other district officers to co support, and urging the ambulance to hurry to the scene to rescue the injured.
Seeing this, Luo An wiped the blood from his right cheek and handed Little Donna over to one of the officers.
Looking back to see that though the wounds on Qianbaisi and Reed weren't healing, but were no longer bleeding, he imdiately turned and headed towards the nearby SUV.
"Agent Luo An!"
Seeing Luo An start the SUV, the officer holding Donna urgently called out loudly:
"The ambulance is about to arrive! Don't you need a nurse to check your body?"
"No need, I'm very healthy, thanks for your concern."
Luo An turned his head, smiling with a grimace, the wound beside his left eye looking rather ferocious in the glow of the fire:
"Right now, I need to go catch this guy who dared to use a rocket launcher!"
For law enforcent, long guns and handguns have never been the sa concept.
NYPD killing an enemy wielding a handgun would always result in countless people debating over it in court.
But killing an enemy ard with a long gun, there are a lot fewer of such people.
And now, soone dared to use a heavy weapon like a rocket launcher...
Recalling the thing in the fridge and the photos on the whiteboard, Luo An's eyes glimred coldly.
He now had an increasing interest in the identity of Jorgen Landry.
Boom!
Pushing the gas pedal hard, the dark SUV shot off, following the path of the grey pickup truck, and instantly plunged into the night in the distance.
