Finally, the continuous heavy rain ceased, and sunlight poured down from the sky, a rainbow pierced the heavens and earth, gradually becoming clear from its vague form, reflected into countless speckled colors in the waters collected everywhere.
The air after the rain was excellent, even the damn smog had rarely disappeared, making the flowers seem redder and the grass greener, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
With the rain just having stopped, and it not being rush hour, there were few pedestrians on the street. As for the road leading to the Chu Family's hill, it was even more tranquil.
Suddenly, the roar of vehicles shattered this peace, as a convoy consisting of a Humr jeep and a dozen military trucks sped by.
The convoy moved at incredible speed, splashing water from the road, creating a loud splashing noise.
Inside each army green truck cabin were dozens of fully ard soldiers, each exhibiting a stern deanor and a murderous aura.
In the leading Humr sat four individuals: Da Shan, He Junming, He Qing, Chu Shiyao. The closer they got to the destination, the more they subconsciously tightened their lips.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire echoed distantly from the direction of the mountain, startling all four, their expressions growing even more grim.
"Da Shan, faster," He Qing coldly gazed towards the direction of the gunfire, taking a deep breath.
Da Shan didn't respond, simply pressed harder on the gas pedal that was already floored, pushing the Humr's speed to the limit.
"Sis, do you think Chu Ge he..." He Junming tightly clenched his fists, half-speaking before falling silent.
He Qing didn't engage with this topic. Despite her past confidence in Chu Ge, she couldn't even offer a single comforting word to her brother at this mont.
After all... Chu Ge was alone, and the place he was in was Chu Chengrui's stronghold, unknown how many elite soldiers were there.
Chu Shiyao's heart was also in her throat. After leaving that abandoned warehouse, the first thing she did was half-coax, half-force a passerby to lend her a phone, then she dialed He Qing's number, which was the only thing she could do now.
He Qing was at the ti with her brother He Junming and Da Shan when she received the call. She imdiately used her connections because they weren't far from Chu Shiyao and picked her up en route.
The general situation, Chu Shiyao had already told He Qing on the phone and along the way, then for a while, nobody spoke.
Quickly, with the Humr leading, the convoy rushed up the mountain, hearing sounds of gunfire along the way, heading directly towards the source.
Closer, even closer, there was a library, with hundreds engaging in a confrontation, nurous bodies lying haphazardly on the ground, presenting utter chaos.
From the scene, there were several groups.
So wearing luxurious clothes, seemingly panicked, were probably the Chu Family mbers. Beside them were so people in black, acting as their bodyguards.
About fifty to sixty people, dressed differently but with stern faces, holding weapons and riot shields, led by a young girl, ford an offensive array guarding the front entrance of the library, presumably the second group.
At the library's side entrances, so held short blades or daggers, wearing unified black kung-fu shirts, comprising the third group.
Due to the angle, He Qing and her group couldn't determine if there were additional people at the library's back entrance; besides those they observed, there were more inside the library.
Inside the library were people with Tang swords, so holding pistols or submachine guns, with expressions ranging from fierce to hesitant, or confused with blood-stained clothes, a lot of blood.
"Miss, it's dangerous ahead, you should stay in the car. I'll take people over to check."
Da Shan eased up on the accelerator, and before the car ca to a complete stop, a sudden "bang" reached his ears. He instinctively turned his head and almost stared his eyes out, seeing He Qing kicked the car door off!
This... is this really the eternally calm and wise, always graceful He Qing, the head of the He family he knows?
When did He Qing gain such strength? He clearly locked the car door!
Before Da Shan could regain his senses, He Qing had jumped out of the vehicle, her gaze briefly t Liang Xue guarding the main entrance. Despite no verbal exchange, their eyes briefly t and parted, confirming she was at the right place.
Besides being an entrepreneur, He Qing was also a key mber of a national security organization nad "Qianyu," and Liang Xue was a new mber of this organization. He Qing hadn't interacted much with Liang Xue before, but she knew of her.
The so-called "Qianyu" refers to the organization mbers, who infiltrated various places of national interest like floating feathers, through diverse channels and identities, collecting all sorts of information.
He Qing stepped out, her gaze swiftly scanned the library's occupants, coldly stating, "Listen, those inside, drop your weapons, put your hands behind your head, co out one by one, or face execution for treason!"
He Qing's voice wasn't very loud, but it penetrated everyone's ears with absolute clarity, filled with an undeniable powerful aura.
Da Shan was even more bewildered at this mont, but he didn't have ti to doubt his eyes and ears. He quickly got out of the car and moved to He Qing's side, just as he was about to take her to a relatively safer position in the back, he hadn't even said a word before his eyes blurred, and the pistol at his waist was already snatched by He Qing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He Qing fired three shots in succession, each one a headshot, taking down the three people inside the library who had been making slight movents.
"Everyone, raise your guns, aim, and three seconds after I finish this sentence, anyone in the library not with their hands on their heads will be executed on the spot!"
He Qing quickly said to the soldiers jumping down from the military truck, then turned her gaze towards the library, squinting slightly.
"Timing starts now."
The corner of Da Shan's eye twitched again, and He Junming and Chu Shiyao, who were still in the car, felt the sa.
He Qing... so domineering, she's like a female general, and her cold, decisive deanor is breathtakingly beautiful!
"Three"
He Qing calmly announced a number.
Swish, swish, swish!
Semi-automatic rifles were raised, bullets already chambered, and all they needed to do now was aim at anyone not holding their hands on their heads.
"Two"
He Qing's voice remained calm, and true to her word, she didn't delay more than half a second. Just after saying "Three," she imdiately followed up with "Two."
At this mont, those inside the library had no doubt about He Qing's words; even though her voice and expression were calm, if they didn't do as she said, they would imdiately be riddled with bullets from the soldiers' semi-automatic rifles.
When He Qing shouted "Three," so people still hesitated, clutching their weapons tightly, but as soon as she counted "Two," the sound of weapons hitting the floor echoed endlessly.
"One"
Before He Qing could fully utter the word, a sound like muffled thunder suddenly erupted in everyone's ears, the ground trembled underneath, and everyone felt a strong vibration, causing several soldiers who had just jumped off the truck to stagger, almost falling to the ground.
This was truly thunder out of a clear sky!
Everyone's expressions changed involuntarily, and inside the library, a few people who appeared docile, being the first to hold their heads in fear, suddenly transford from trembling sheep into fierce tigers descending the mountain, darting out swiftly.
He Qing's face changed as she shouted sharply, "Open fire!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As He Qing issued the shooting command, the pistol she snatched from Da Shan began to fire continuously. Unfortunately, she was unsteady, and those people's movents were not only swift but they also grabbed nearby persons as shields while running.
Whistling bullets hit a few people, but unfortunately, none hit He Qing's initially aid target; all struck those being used as human shields.
As He Qing's gun fired, the soldiers quickly ca to their senses. So turned their guns towards the fleeing individuals, while others continued aiming at those inside the library.
This was the mont the professionalism of regular soldiers and the importance of pre-planned tactics were demonstrated. Perhaps their combat power was vastly different from those "Numbered Soldiers," but even in such sudden situations, they managed to cooperate as a team, making the best possible coordination in an extrely short ti.
Each pair of adjacent soldiers, the one on the left turned his gun, and the one on the right continued aiming forward. This was part of He Qing's arrangents for various possible scenarios; the soldiers' execution was nothing short of first-class, their movents seamless and without even half a second of delay.
However, the fleeing people moved too fast, and their escape routes were strangely erratic. Even though they held human shields, they wouldn't stay in the sa spot for more than half a second, zigzagging in "S" and "Z" shapes, finding gaps in the bullet storm.
After a round of volleys, none of the fleeing individuals were hit by even a single bullet!
anwhile, a dark gun barrel was aid at He Qing.
