Chapter 804: Chapter 804 Leaderboard Update
Armor-Piercing Bullet!
Ling Feng, who had been lying in Lin Xue’s arms, imdiately sat up straight upon hearing this, and said with wide eyes and an open mouth, "They really went all out to kill , huh!"
"That’s right, this is a special bullet, extrely lethal. It seems it was indeed prepared to kill you in one shot!" Zhou Yi nodded.
Looking at the alloy bullet head in her hand, Ling Feng grew angry.
"Damn it, they resorted to gunfire when ramming the car didn’t work. Who’s so ruthless, hell-bent on killing ?"
"Whoever it is, they’ve gotten serious this ti!" Zhou Yi stated.
Ling Feng’s wound was gradually healing and wasn’t a major concern, which allowed everyone to relax a little.
After a quick bandaging, Ling Feng took Lin Xue and Zhou Yi back to the car.
The windshield had spider-webbed from the impact. Seeing this, Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, "Well, we can’t drive this car!"
"Xiao Xue, call the station and ask them to send a tow truck. I’m heading up the hill to take a look!"
Zhou Yi inspected the marks on the windshield and estimated the likely trajectory of the shot before getting out of the car.
Ling Feng followed her, "I’ll co with you!"
"Okay."
Zhou Yi didn’t say much. After both of them got out of the car, they headed straight up the nearby slope and then made their way towards the opposite hill.
"When we stopped earlier, did you notice anything unusual on the other side, like the flash of a gun or the reflection from a scope?" Zhou Yi asked as they walked.
"No." Ling Feng indicated his understanding briefly, then shook his head.
"That ans the other party was fully prepared. It’s been half an hour now, so they probably have retreated back to their nest!" Zhou Yi said.
"Then why are we still looking for anything?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhou Yi turned to look at him, "After you were shot, Lin Xue imdiately teleported with you to leave. We know what happened, but the two shooters must have been stunned. They would then think you two might co after them, so in their rush they’re bound to make a mistake!"
"Could they have left behind any traces of so sort?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhou Yi nodded, "There’s that possibility!"
Ling Feng laughed, "You are the professional. I wouldn’t have thought of all this!"
Zhou Yi didn’t respond but quickly made her way through the underbrush and shrubs between the mountains, soon reaching the opposite mid-hill.
Without an exact location, they had to conduct a carpet search, and the range would be vast.
Luckily, they had so ti to spare since the tow truck would also take ti to arrive, so there was no need to rush.
After Lin Xue finished making the call, she too climbed the mountain. The three of them split up to search through a large expanse of shrubbery.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Yi suddenly shouted, summoning Ling Feng and Lin Xue to her side!
There were large swaths of flattened grass at her feet. After a few glances, she looked up at Ling Feng and said, "It should be right here. From this side, you can clearly see the highway; the view is excellent and it’s also well-concealed!"
"Then have you found any clues?"
Ling Feng asked while bending down to examine the area.
Just as he asked, he noticed sothing in the grass by his feet, so he bent down and picked it up.
It was a cartridge case!
Seeing this, Zhou Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, "This is exactly what I was looking for!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Just a cartridge case, what use is that?"
"With the number on it, we can trace who manufactured it, when it was sold, and who it was sold to!" Zhou Yi explained.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback after hearing this; he hadn’t expected such an inconspicuous shell casing to be of such great use.
At this mont, Lin Xue said, "It seems that the other party isn’t too professional either, actually leaving the number on it unfiled. I also find it odd, it could even be intentional. Let’s head back to the precinct and talk about it there!"
So the three of them stopped their search and turned to descend the mountain together.
After waiting for a while, two cars from the Security Bureau arrived. One was a tow truck; the other was driven by Du Song. As soon as he parked, he imdiately asked, "Boss, how are you?"
"Suffered so superficial wounds, but I’m okay now!"
Ling Feng briefly responded, then got into the car.
"Let’s not wait for the tow truck, let’s head back to the precinct!" Zhou Yi suggested.
"Alright!"
Du Song turned the car around and then drove in the direction of the county city.
Upon arriving at Longyuan, Chen Ping was also looking nervous, wanting to see the extent of Ling Feng’s injuries as soon as possible.
But since the wounds had already been bandaged, he couldn’t see them.
However, seeing Ling Feng lively and energetic, he knew the lad wasn’t in serious trouble, which was a relief.
Chen Ping then said, "You’ve been attacked twice in a row, and the matter has alerted the main bureau. We are currently doing our best to track down the perpetrator!"
"Thank you, everyone."
Ling Feng nodded and handed over the shell casing. "Director, this is what the sniper left behind. See what you can find."
"Alright!"
Chen Ping passed it on to Du Song and asked him to take it down to the technical departnt, then turned back to look at Ling Feng. "Besides the He Family, who else have you offended recently?"
"Not that I can think of? I’ve been in seclusion recently and haven’t really been out and about, just dealt with He Wei and Luo Qianyang, that’s all!" Ling Feng replied after a mont’s thought.
"Hmm, the attacker’s thods are getting more vicious each ti. You must be very careful. Also, remind the people around you as well, in case they try sothing sneaky!" Chen Ping advised.
"I know. I’ve already notified them, and everyone is safe now," Ling Feng nodded.
Upon learning of his attack, Li Shiyun returned ho and then called Mo Jiaolan and the others. After wrapping up their tasks at hand, they gradually teleported to Nine Heavens.
Later, talking about the rankings list, Chen Ping sighed. "The list has been updated, and we in Huaxia weren’t able to keep our data secure; it’s been added to the list as well!"
"What!"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise!
Just a mont ago at ho, he felt relieved, thinking that Huaxia’s confidentiality was well managed. He didn’t expect to be proven wrong so fast!
"It doesn’t matter now. Actually, the leak might have its advantages, letting the world know the strength of our country so they won’t dare to harbor covetous thoughts!" Chen Ping said with a smile.
"How does the latest ranking look?" Ling Feng asked.
"It’s on this tablet, have a look!"
As he spoke, Chen Ping handed over a tablet.
Upon opening it, the screen displayed a pitch-black background with bold white letters that were very eye-catching. The first page had only ten lines, each corresponding to a na and nationality, nothing else.
The first two nas were of foreigners, which Ling Feng didn’t pay close attention to. The third na was in Chinese script, unmistakably that of Zhou Yi!
"I said it, with your strength you were sure to rank high, but I didn’t expect that there would be soone even more formidable than you!" After a glance, Ling Feng handed the tablet to her.
Zhou Yi took a brief look and didn’t dwell on it, speaking indifferently, "Breaking through to the Qi Refining stage indicates they’ve had so kind of fortuitous encounter. The world is so vast; there’s no reason why only we would get special benefits!"
