Xu Weiwei's eyes revealed a hint of mockery. People from Batianhu? Isn't that just your excuse?
She naturally didn't believe that Batianhu would really send people to kill her! Therefore, she didn't believe Ye Cangtian's words at all. She just glared at Ye Cangtian with a fiery gaze.
I treated you like a brother, but you lusted after my body!
Ye Cangtian felt uncomfortable under that gaze. He helplessly let go, raising his hands as he explained, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance."
There was surveillance installed at the door, which Xu Weiwei had previously used to guard against Ye Cangtian.
At this moment, Xu Weiwei was half-believing. She reached under the pillow for her phone with one hand, holding a pistol with the other, and said, "Back up! Don't come any closer!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged. This girl didn't trust him at all!
Am I that kind of person? If I really wanted to do something to you, would you even have a chance to pull out a gun?
Xu Weiwei opened the surveillance on her phone. The camera at the door had night vision, so she could see what was happening outside even without lights.
When she opened the surveillance, there was nothing in the picture!
"This is what you call someone trying to assassinate me?" Xu Weiwei threw her phone onto the bedside and sneered.
Ye Cangtian took a look and was also frustrated!
Did he guess wrong? Those people weren't sent by Batianhu to kill Xu Weiwei? Maybe they were just thieves?
A group operation?
However, at that moment, a furtive figure suddenly appeared in the surveillance footage on the phone screen.
Following that, more people appeared, a total of five!
These guys were all wearing hoods and masks, gathered outside Xu Weiwei's door, seemingly trying to pick the lock.
Xu Weiwei's expression finally changed. Were these guys crazy? Were they really coming after her?
"Didn't I tell you?"
Ye Cangtian pursed his lips, pushed away Xu Weiwei's gun, and said helplessly, "I came to warn you kindly, but you doubted my character!"
Xu Weiwei knew she had misunderstood him and felt a little awkward.
Ye Cangtian didn't seem angry. The situation was a bit complicated. He analyzed, "There are five people outside the door now. There might be a few more in the hallway, and perhaps people in other parts of the complex."
So, all in all, these guys numbered at least a dozen, or even more.
But since the other party was prepared, it wouldn't be as simple as it seemed on the surface!
"Then I'll call the police!" Xu Weiwei immediately thought of notifying the police.
You're a cop yourself, and you're calling the police? Ye Cangtian was torn between laughter and tears.
But at this point, calling the police was indeed the best option. But wouldn't the other party have thought of this?
Just then, as she was picking up her phone to call the police, Xu Weiwei found that the surveillance screen on her phone directly displayed "connection failed."
What she didn't know was that the entire complex's power had been cut off, and the streetlights had gone out, plunging everything into darkness.
"No signal!" Xu Weiwei soon discovered this as well.
"It seems these guys were prepared. They cut off the complex's power and blocked all signals in this area!" Ye Cangtian said gravely.
Cutting off the power was to prevent being captured by surveillance and to avoid being illuminated by lights.
Blocking the signals in this area was to prevent anyone from calling the police!
"What do we do now?" Xu Weiwei was also a little flustered.
Having been a police officer for years, she had encountered some tough characters! But she had never met anyone so arrogant as to actively send people to harm a police officer in her own home.
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment, not too worried. He looked at the gun in Xu Weiwei's hand and said, "How about this, we break out first. You have a gun, so they might not be able to threaten you."
At this moment, Xu Weiwei looked awkward.
She sheepishly took out the magazine and said with some embarrassment, "This gun can probably only scare them!"
Ye Cangtian took a look, and it was a bit of a headache!
This was a toy gun?
The yellow plastic bullets in the magazine were from a toy gun for children!
He had been a bit intimidated by this gun just now. How idle was this girl to keep a toy gun at home?
"We can only take our precinct-issued guns out when we're on a case. Do you think we police officers can just carry guns around casually?" Xu Weiwei muttered.
China has very strict gun control, even for civil servants. So, even though police officers usually carry guns, they can only take them out when they are on duty.
Ye Cangtian hadn't thought of this. He thought that having a gun would at least allow Xu Weiwei to protect herself.
But it was fine if she didn't have one! He didn't care either. The most important thing in this situation was to get Xu Weiwei out first.
After all, he didn't know how many Batianhu members were in the complex.
"Follow me, and we'll get out of here!"
"Okay!" Xu Weiwei also got off the bed and, after thinking, decided to bring the toy gun along.
After taking a few steps, she looked at her pajamas and said, "I'll change my clothes."
"No time!"
Ye Cangtian pulled her towards the living room, as he could already hear the sound of the lock turning.
Soon, the people outside opened the door. Two of them walked in first, coming face-to-face with Ye Cangtian and Xu Weiwei.
Those two were wearing masks. The moment they entered, they saw Ye Cangtian and Xu Weiwei, clearly caught off guard.
"Attack!" one of them reacted first and shouted.
As the two drew their daggers, Ye Cangtian struck their necks with two punches, and they slumped to the ground, unconscious.
However, there were more than just two people outside the door. After dealing with these two, Ye Cangtian found two more rushing in with knives.
But although these two were holding knives, they were ultimately just ordinary people, and were easily subdued by Ye Cangtian.
There was one more!
Ye Cangtian had seen it on Xu Weiwei's phone surveillance earlier; there were five people outside the door. After dealing with four, there was clearly one who hadn't entered yet.
He went to the doorway and poked his head out. Seeing that the person outside was holding a gun, he instantly withdrew his head.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Three consecutive gunshots rang out.
These were the sounds made by a pistol barrel equipped with a silencer.
Although there was no loud gunshot, the bullets that shot out hit the living room television and glass cups, also producing the sound of shattering glass.
Xu Weiwei, behind Ye Cangtian, turned pale. The other party actually had a gun?
She, a proper police officer, was using a toy gun, while the person coming to kill her was using a real gun!
At this moment, Ye Cangtian pulled her behind the wall to hide. The person outside also became impatient and rushed in with his gun.
"Crack!"
As the person's gun-holding hand extended in, Ye Cangtian grabbed the gun handle and forcefully bent it with his other hand. The person's hands snapped with a crunch, and their bones were fractured. Sudan Novel Network
The person, in pain, opened his mouth to shout, but Ye Cangtian simultaneously grabbed his neck and twisted it fiercely.
"Thump!" The person fell to the ground limply, dead!
Ye Cangtian picked up the pistol from the ground. He checked and saw that there were four bullets left. He turned to see Xu Weiwei looking stunned and said, "What are you spacing out for? Follow me, and let's break out!"
Seeing him walk out with the gun, Xu Weiwei glanced at the dead assailant on the ground, her expression complex.
