CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 290: YOU CAN KNOCK ME OUT!

Xiao Lin’s face turned cold; he knew very well how tough this policewoman was to deal with.

"There are a total of five explosion points, only two have been detonated, and there are two hiding spots not yet found, can you handle it?" Flipping Wu Shuang away without courtesy, Xiao Lin returned to Box 407.

"Xia Xue!" The box was empty, the food on the table scattered everywhere, the sofa slashed by something sharp, and there was a bloodstain on the floor. Xiao Lin squatted down, touched a bit of the blood, noting it hadn’t coagulated and was still warm, indicating a fight had just occurred here, and the person couldn’t have gone far.

"Where are you going?" Wu Shuang blocked his way: "Although you are capable, I will tell you the same thing." Looking at Xiao Lin’s face, Wu Shuang didn’t want any harm to come to him.

"Watch out!" Xiao Lin suddenly lunged forward, embracing Wu Shuang as they rolled on the ground, dodging the flying bullets.

"Get out quickly, don’t stay here and be a burden." Without any room for compromise, Xiao Lin pursued in the direction of the bullets, leaving the still startled Wu Shuang lying on the floor. When she thought to chase, the figure had already disappeared.

The wireless radio transmitted Director Lin’s voice.

"Officer Wu, what’s the situation inside now? Have you found Dr. Xiao?"

"Found him, he ran away again!"

"What? You must ensure Dr. Xiao’s safety."

How can I ensure that? Wu Shuang frustratingly thought of smashing the radio in her hand. Was Xiao Lin someone who obediently listened to orders? Sitting and talking is easy, she couldn’t help but recall Xiao Lin’s earlier boast, and said, "According to current information, the enemy still has three explosion points hidden."

"The anti-riot team has entered the scene, you prepare to assist them."

"Yes, Director Lin." Although she still wanted to find Xiao Lin, after receiving the order, Wu Shuang could only stand by and await further instructions. No one could understand the urgency in her heart, not even herself.

Xiao Lin held three Silver Needles in his hands; he was skilled at using cold weapons, simply because he felt carrying medical equipment was enough weight. Adding a gun would be cumbersome. He leaped over the ruins, the sound of a battle reached from above. Holding the railing, he flipped up from the escape route, landing easily on the outer wall walkway. Through the window, he could clearly see inside.

Xiao Lin didn’t expect Xiang Fei’s strength to be unfathomable, yet compared to her opponent, she was clearly at a disadvantage. Unable to use his left hand, Xiao Lin leveraged continuous leg attacks to pin his opponent in a corner, struggling to mount an effective counterattack. He glanced around looking for Xia Xue’s trail.

"What is Mushu to you?" The opponent found an opening and began to counterattack, every strike targeting Xiang Fei’s right side. It was only then Xiao Lin noticed her right arm bleeding heavily. Prolonged blood loss could cause severe disability, prompting him to leap and block a heavy blow from the opponent. He caught the opponent’s kicking foot with one hand, using Inner Strength to fling them aside, quickly sealing two acupuncture points on Xiang Fei’s arm.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Lin asked Xiang Fei, noticing her pale face.

"Watch out!" Xiang Fei forcefully embraced Xiao Lin, rotating to take a solid kick on the back, spewing fresh blood onto Xiao Lin’s chest.

Xiao Lin scooped up Xiang Fei; if Xia Xue wasn’t by his side, he trusted that Xiao Lang had already made a move, giving him peace of mind.

"You deserve to die!" After dropping this line, he put away the Silver Needles, unfolding a short knife about twenty centimeters long from the belt, made from a special flexible material that could bend into any shape you wanted. Its exquisite handle was handcrafted from pure silver. Xiang Fei, looking at the short blade, couldn’t help but admire the craftsmanship and ingenuity.

In many combat scenarios, close combat focuses on grappling and fighting techniques, where a second’s deviation could give the opponent a chance to kill you. Xiao Lin’s entire being exuded murderous intent, his piercing gaze swept at the opponent, transforming him from a doctor into a Demon. Xiang Fei seemed to see from behind the Grim Reaper wielding a Scythe aimed at the condemned person, shaken by Xiao Lin’s lethal aura, involuntarily retreating.

Everyone wants to live, so during a life-and-death moment, one can burst with boundless energy; perhaps the opponent was too strong or crisis awareness triggered innate abilities. The opponent’s swift movement nearly shot a bullet into Xiao Lin’s shoulder.

Xiao Lin’s eyes flashed a cold glint, unwilling to prolong the battle. He deftly maneuvered behind his opponent, the short blade gleamed silver, blood splattering on his hand.

Silently, effortlessly, the body slumped to the ground.

"Can you still walk?" Xiao Lin helped Xiang Fei up. There was still a bomb in the storage room, clearly not yet detonated by the opponent.

"We can’t stay here long; I’ll get you out first. Special police outside will escort you to the hospital while I handle the rest myself."

Wu Shuang searched each box room for Xiao Lin’s whereabouts, her anxious expression frozen on her face. The city committee had already issued the task of ensuring Xiao Lin was taken out unharmed, any mishaps and the entire special police team would be held accountable. Who was this person? Though she knew Xiao Lin wasn’t simple, not even enough for the city committee to get involved.

"Xiao Lin, Dr. Xiao, where are you?" She couldn’t help but shout, but the next moment, acrid smoke forced her to shut her mouth to avoid inhaling.

"Officer Wu, there’s a seriously injured person here, please take them to the hospital. I suspect his internal organs are severely damaged, take good care of him!" Xiao Lin, carrying Xiang Fei sideways, said, "I’ve done some measures on his spleen and stomach area. During transport, ensure that the Silver Needle remains in place, and have a traditional Chinese doctor accompany you."

"Are you hurt?" Wu Shuang blocked Xiao Lin, after sending someone behind her to carry Xiang Fei, saying, "You must come with me. I can’t risk the entire special police team’s jobs playing around here."

"You’re not my opponent."

"You could knock me out first!" Before finishing her sentence, Wu Shuang realized she didn’t even know how Xiao Lin had moved, a pain in her neck rendered her vision dark, knowing nothing thereafter.

"Take your Officer Wu out with you and evacuate the entire building of people, don’t linger here." With that, Xiao Lin sprinted towards the depths of the fourth floor.

The recent explosion sound came from the far end, quite distant from their box. He couldn’t understand why the opponent went through such lengths. If they wanted lives, they could have easily tampered inside the box; no need for such complexity. Illogical arrangements often have a fundamental reason, and a setup beyond reasoning usually involves drawing the wolf into the house.

In a private villa within Yanjing’s Jingshan Villa Complex, someone laughed at a large screen. They swirled a crystal glass, red liquid leaving traces on the glass walls with each swirl. It wasn’t due to the poor quality of the glass, as its age could be traced back to the last century. (To be continued.
