There’s still one day left until the artifact exhibition in Shanghai City. Everyone is getting restless for these invaluable artifacts.
anwhile, the Shanghai police haven’t been idle either. They’ve cast a wide net near the exhibition venue, detaining no less than twenty suspicious characters.
However, Xiao Tian didn’t care much about this. True experts planning to steal the artifacts wouldn’t get caught so easily, would they? They usually lurk nearby, revealing themselves only at the mont of action. As for those who got caught so far, they’re just small fry.
Xiao Tian’s instincts are very sharp. He can sense that these days, undercurrents are stirring beneath the surface in Shanghai. Even the seemingly calm air is tinged with the scent of gunpowder.
And tomorrow’s exhibition might just be the spark that ignites it all!
That noon, Xiao Tian went to the West Bureau as usual. The mont he stepped in, he could clearly sense an unusual atmosphere in the room. So people were pacing back and forth. Seeing this, Xiao Tian quickly walked over and asked, "What’s going on?"
One of the policen, upon seeing Xiao Tian, imdiately rushed over with a face filled with anger, as if seeing the backbone he needed. "Tian! ng is injured!"
Xiao Tian frowned, "What happened?"
The policeman, extrely angry, said, "In the morning, we went to assist the British side in protecting the artifacts. Clearly, they look down on us and tried every possible way to make things difficult. Later, ng got angry and started a fight with them."
By this point, the policeman was clenching his fists tightly, his face tense, "In the end, that lowlife Kings couldn’t beat ng, and actually attacked him with a knife! ng got stabbed and is still in the hospital!"
"What?" Xiao Tian’s expression turned cold upon hearing this.
Why hadn’t he heard anything about this? And why didn’t Wang ng call him to help protect the artifacts?
At that mont, Xiao Tian didn’t hesitate, directly asking, "Which hospital? Take there!"
-----
Half an hour later, the policeman led Xiao Tian to Wang ng’s ward at the city center hospital. Opening the door, they found Wang ng lying on the hospital bed with a few of his subordinate policen accompanying him.
Seeing Xiao Tian arrive, several policen greeted him and ca over.
"Tian!"
After Xiao Tian joined the West Bureau, he had nurous achievents with extraordinary thods, so the policen admired him from their hearts. That cry of "Tian" was truly sincere.
Xiao Tian nodded and walked over to check Wang ng’s injuries. When he saw Wang ng’s torso wrapped in bandages, his breath weak, Xiao Tian’s expression grew increasingly cold.
Wang ng had been stabbed in the chest. Any slight deviation would have cost Wang ng his life! Clearly, the attacker showed no rcy towards him!
Xiao Tian suddenly asked in a low voice, "Why didn’t you call when you went to protect the artifacts?"
"It was ng’s arrangent... ng said not to call you," said a policeman standing by the bedside.
"What?"
Another policeman nearby sighed and explained, "ng said, you have a fiery temper and aren’t accustod to bowing to others. So he planned for a few of us to bear it instead!"
Hearing that, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion in his nose.
After listening to the details of the fight between Wang ng and Kings, Xiao Tian’s expression grew even colder, a hint of killing intent erging.
A mont later, Xiao Tian turned around and walked away slowly. The policen behind him hurriedly asked, "Tian, where are you going?"
"To kill soone," Xiao Tian replied indifferently.
----
In the afternoon.
At the artifact storage warehouse in Shanghai City, several British agents were discussing the incident from the morning.
They were gathered around the warehouse entrance, drinking French beer and laughing, "Haha, did you see that stupid Huaxia person getting stabbed by Deputy Captain Kings?"
Tom, one of the British agents, fawned, "Captain Kings is unbeatable, what can a Huaxia person do??"
Sitting in the center, Kings laughed proudly, clearly enjoying the attention. He then said coldly, "Heh, that guy was lucky to survive after I stabbed him!"
"Haha, co on, drink, drink!"
The group of agents continued drinking.
"Hey! You Huaxia person, this is a restricted area. You’re not allowed to enter!"
While the British agents were drinking and eating, sothing was happening at the warehouse entrance.
A Huaxia man with a cold gaze was walking directly toward the warehouse.
Several young British agents at the entrance moved at once, surrounding Xiao Tian, numbering over a dozen people in total.
One of the British agents issued another warning, "Huaxia person, we hope you don’t make us remind you a second ti! This is a restricted area. If you proceed, we have the right to detain you or even open fire!"
Xiao Tian seed not to hear them, directly saying coldly, "I’m here for soone nad Kings. Where is he?"
"Deputy Captain Kings?"
Upon hearing Xiao Tian ntion Kings, the surrounding agents thought Xiao Tian might be an acquaintance of Kings. They asked, "Captain Kings is in the courtyard having a al. Are you a friend of his? Do you have business with him?"
Xiao Tian, looking stern, shook his head and said in perfectly fluent English,
"No, I’m here to take his life."
Having said that, Xiao Tian ignored the line of agents before him and moved toward the courtyard of the warehouse.
"Damn, he’s here to cause trouble. Detain him!!"
Seeing Xiao Tian attempting to break through, the agents shouted, quickly charging at him to form a human wall, apparently intending to completely block Xiao Tian’s path.
However, Xiao Tian moved swiftly like a ghost. With a flash, he passed through the line of agents, turning around to deliver a fierce kick. The row of people in front of him was imdiately knocked down.
"Move again and I’ll shoot!!!"
Seeing Xiao Tian take down so many agents with a single strike, a few agents pulled out their guns, aiming at Xiao Tian’s back.
Yet Xiao Tian remained silent, his pace undeterred, sprinting toward the courtyard.
"Open fire!"
Despite repeated warnings, Xiao Tian didn’t pause, and eventually, so agents didn’t hesitate any longer, pulling their triggers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless bullets, like a storm, rained down, sweeping toward him in a haze of smoke and sparks.
The endless bullets aid at Xiao Tian’s back swept towards him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tian suddenly changed his pace, his figure flashing rapidly. Almost like teleporting, he dodged all the bullets with ease.
In less than ten seconds, Xiao Tian had completely vanished from the sight of the young agents.
"What?? Is this... a human or a ghost?" Several agents were shocked by Xiao Tian’s wind-like movent.
When the bullets couldn’t even stop Xiao Tian, the agents were stupefied, as the scene was too unbelievable.
