In the darkness, the house with suddenly lit windows was as conspicuous as a guiding beacon, impossible to overlook.
Even more so, with two furtive figures appearing, their presence would only confirm suspicions.
Qin Chuan and Li Ya had noticed, and Qin Yang and Rong Xiaoan had also seen them much earlier, striding towards them.
In the courtyard, the two sneaky figures peered out. Finding no anomalies, one of them skillfully took out a flashlight and ran towards a neighboring house, while the other turned off the lights inside.
Shortly after, the beam of the flashlight was replaced by a powerful headlight, accompanied by the sound of a motorcycle starting.
"They have a motorcycle!"
Qin Chuan and Li Ya, hiding not far away, widened their eyes.
"Xiao Chuan, they have a motorcycle, what do we do? If we don't stop them now, they'll get away?"
Li Ya was anxious.
It would take a little time for Qin Yang and the policeman named Rong Xiaoan to arrive.
Qin Chuan's eyes darted around. A direct confrontation was impossible. The two shadowy figures were both tall, burly, and muscular, and he had an injured ankle.
He would have to use his wits.
Any tactic would do, as long as it could delay them until his elder brother and Rong Xiaoan arrived.
With that thought, Qin Chuan quickly crouched down, grabbed handfuls of thick dust from the ground with each hand, and instructed Li Ya, "Don't come over!"
With that said, he strode towards the house, moving with incredible speed, ignoring the pain in his ankle.
At that very moment, at the entrance of the house, the motorcycle sped out, about to escape. Just then, Qin Chuan leaped forward, scattering a barrage of hidden projectiles.
A sky-obscuring cloud of dust instantly enveloped the two people on the motorcycle, creating a hazy expanse.
"Ouch, my eyes!"
"Damn it, who? Which son of a bitch dares to attack me?"
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, the two shadowy figures on the motorcycle were hit directly. Then, with a "clang," the motorcycle lost control and crashed to the ground, its wheels spinning.
The two figures also fell to the ground, crying out in pain. They then covered their eyes with their hands, tears streaming down their faces.
The dust and grit in their eyes were excruciatingly uncomfortable!
Angrily, ignoring their watering eyes, they got up from the ground and prepared to find the scoundrel who had attacked them from the shadows.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly retreated far away, then continued to scoop up dust from the ground and hurl it at their faces, forcing them to shield their eyes with their arms.
At this point, the sound of footsteps approached rapidly from a distance. It was Qin Yang and Rong Xiaoan.
"Stop! Police!"
Rong Xiaoan was the first to grab one of the shadowy figures by the arm. Unexpectedly, this figure reacted with incredible agility and immense strength, launching a swift back kick.
*Bang!*
Caught off guard, Rong Xiaoan was kicked squarely in the abdomen, his face contorted in pain. The hand that had been holding the figure's arm let go.
The figure quickly turned, revealing a fierce face, stubble-covered, with a scar on his left cheek.
"Black Bear, Huang Lao San, it really is you!"
Rong Xiaoan recognized the figure immediately. This person was one of Han Shifei's most capable and strongest subordinates.
The other was Huang Lao San, a subordinate of Han Shihong.
"Little cop, you think you can catch me? Get lost if you know what's good for you, or I'll cripple you!"
Recognized, Black Bear showed no alarm. Instead, he issued a threat.
Huang Lao San also grinned sinisterly. Men like them had no fear of the police; they had been through such situations countless times.
Rong Xiaoan clutched his stomach tightly and sneered, "Black Bear, Huang Lao San, I know I'm no match for you, but you absolutely won't escape tonight!"
With that, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Captain, Black Bear and Huang Lao San are here!!!"
In the silent night, the shout was incredibly loud, carrying far.
Black Bear and Huang Lao San were clearly caught off guard by the little cop's move. Hearing Rong Xiaoan call for the captain, they knew Xiao Guodong should be nearby.
Black Bear immediately rushed forward to help up the motorcycle on the ground. They weren't fools. The police had deployed so many forces tonight; it was clearly a serious operation, and they couldn't be caught.
As long as they could escape, they were confident that with their boss's connections, they could resolve the matter, turning a big problem into a small one.
This was almost a regular occurrence!
It would merely cost some money.
"Brother!"
"Don't let them get away!"
Seeing Black Bear moving to help the motorcycle and prepare to escape again, Qin Chuan, standing in the shadows, shouted.
It would be a joke if these two escaped tonight; what would be the point of all this action?
Who would avenge the burning of his building?
"You're not leaving!"
As Qin Chuan's voice fell, Qin Yang, who had been standing by without acting, stepped forward and reached out to grab Black Bear's shoulder.
"Get lost!"
Without a second thought, Black Bear threw a punch, the wind sharp and fierce.
In his mind, this punch was enough to give the other person a hard time and leave him bruised and swollen. To his surprise, as soon as he swung his fist, his waist was struck heavily by a kick.
*Clang!*
Black Bear, along with the motorcycle, crashed to the ground, covered in dust and dirt.
"Damn you!"
Intense pain shot from his waist. Black Bear was shocked and furious. Who was he? The most formidable fighter under Han Shifei, yet tonight he had suffered such a heavy blow.
An boundless ferocity erupted from him. He quickly scrambled up from the ground, his eyes red, and charged rapidly towards Qin Yang.
His fists carried astonishing power, each strike vicious, aimed at Qin Yang's head.
It was clear he was a trained fighter. An ordinary person would likely suffer a concussion and collapse after just one blow.
But surprisingly, Qin Yang, who usually appeared rather slow-witted, reacted with remarkable agility. His muscular physique displayed unusual nimbleness. Every punch Black Bear threw was calmly dodged.
In the depths of his dark, resolute eyes, an extraordinary calm was evident.
Black Bear threw over a dozen punches, either dodged or blocked, and his expression gradually grew solemn.
He knew he had encountered a master. This brawny man before him was even stronger than him. When had such a formidable fighter appeared in the county town without his knowledge?
"Who are you?"
Black Bear couldn't help but ask.
As he spoke, his punching speed slowed by half a beat. Qin Yang's calm eyes, which had been evading him, suddenly flashed with two sharp glints.
His retreating body abruptly halted, and then he surged forward like a tiger descending from a mountain.
"Not good!!"
Black Bear's heart pounded. He instinctively crossed his arms, blocking his chest.
*Boom!!*
The next moment, a force like a collapsing mountain rushed forward. The strength of this force far exceeded Black Bear's expectations. He only managed a muffled grunt before being sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the yellow earth several meters away, dust billowing.
Black Bear tried to get up but found a piercing pain radiating from his chest. It felt as if his ribs were broken.
