Chapter 598: Crisis
The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the window of the hospital room and shone on Eunjing's slightly pale but rejuvenated face. She opened her eyes and saw Xu Mo and Xia Lan guarding the bedside, and warmth welled up in her heart.
"Didn't you two sleep all night?" Eun Jing asked softly.
Xu Mo rubbed the corners of his tired eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, for you, what is staying up late." ”
Xia Lan handed over a glass of warm water: "How do you feel now?" ”
Enjing took the water cup and took a sip gently: "Doctor Liu's antidote is indeed magical, I can't feel the presence of toxins anymore." However, we can no longer sit idly by and must take the initiative. ”
Xu Mo and Xia Lan glanced at each other, and they both saw the approval in each other's eyes. They knew very well that what happened to Eun Jing was not accidental, but the result of the behind-the-scenes boss pressing forward step by step. Now that Eun Jing is safe and sound, they are more confident to fight against it.
"I think we should visit the informant who gave the lead to the barbecue stand." Xu Mo suggested, "Maybe he'll know more about last night's attack." ”
Enjing nodded: "Yes, and we need to figure out why the big guy is so eager to attack us, and whether he has already sensed our plan?" ”
Xia Lan put away her smile and said solemnly: "No matter what the reason is, we must speed up the pace. I'm going to arrange a meeting with the informant. ”
In the afternoon, the three of them came to a dilapidated teahouse as agreed. The informant, Li Yang, sat alone in the corner, and when he saw them coming, he got up and motioned for them to sit down.
"Mr. Li, the unexpected ...... of the barbecue stall last night" As soon as Eun Jing spoke, she was interrupted by Li Yang's wave.
"I know what you're asking." Li Yang lowered his voice, "Actually, I have been undercover under the big guy for many years and have been collecting evidence of his crimes. Recently, I found out that he seemed to be planning a big event, so mysterious that even the people closest to him didn't know the details. ”
When Xu Mo and Xia Lan heard this, their expressions became more and more solemn. Eun Jing asked, "Could this big event be related to us?" ”
Li Yang frowned and pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, but judging from the big guy's recent actions, he seems to be eager to eradicate all people or things that may hinder him." The presence of the three of you is undoubtedly a threat to him. ”
"That is, we are going to expose his plot faster than he does." Xia Lan said coldly.
Enjing clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination: "We can't sit back and wait for him to act, we must take the initiative to attack." Mr. Lee, can you tell us more about his recent activities? ”
Li Yang took out a folder from his arms and handed it to them: "This is some of the information I have collected recently, including several important strongholds of the big guy and some suspicious transaction records. Hope it helps. ”
Xu Mo flipped through the document and browsed it carefully, while Xia Lan silently wrote down the key information on the side. Eun Jing looked at their busy figures, and a strong belief rose in her heart: no matter what, they will defeat evil and protect this hard-won friendship and justice.
In the evening, the trio discussed a plan of action in an unoccupied park pavilion. Xu Mo pointed to the markers on the map: "This is his largest underground casino, and it is also one of the important channels of his source of funds." If we can destroy this place, we will not only weaken his economic power, but also attract the attention of the police and intensify the crackdown on his other crimes. ”
Xia Lan added: "In addition, I also found out that he has a secret warehouse on the outskirts of the city, where it is likely that the evidence of his crime is hidden. We can sneak in at night, find the evidence, and expose his crimes publicly. ”
Enjing looked at the two of them and took a deep breath: "Okay, that's it." Xu Mo was in charge of the casino, and Xia Lan and I went to the warehouse. Success or failure is in this move, we must succeed! ”
Xu Mo and Xia Lan nodded heavily, and the three of them looked at each other, and the firmness and determination seemed to turn into an invisible force, dispelling the cold and haze under the night.
"Let's go." Xu Mo was the first to get up, followed by Enjing and Xia Lan. They each walked into the darkness, their figures gradually melting into the night, leaving only the occasional conversation of passers-by in the distance:
"Did you hear that? A couple of young men have been fighting that bully lately. ”
"Really? Aren't they dangerous? ”
"No, I heard that they were still seriously injured, but they didn't give up. It's tough. ”
"Well, if only we had the courage to do that."
"Who's to say it isn't. However, at least their actions give us hope that maybe one day, the city will really be able to escape the shadow of that demon. ”
In the city shrouded in night, the lights are dim, and the pedestrians in the streets and alleys are hurrying home, only the few small shops that are open late at night are still lighting up the warm lamps for the night returnees. And in an inconspicuous old apartment building, Enjing, Xu Mo and Xia Lan are in full swing preparing for a head-on confrontation with the evil forces.
"Enjing, are you sure there is no problem with these locations marked on the map?" Xu Mo asked while carefully examining the map in his hand. Although he has not fully recovered from his shoulder injury, the determination and focus on his face make people feel his determination to do so.
Enjing nodded, with confidence in her eyes: "These are the latest information provided by Li Yang, and the accuracy should be fine." However, we still have to be vigilant, after all, the opponent is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
"That's right." Xia Lan said, the short sword in his hand shone brightly, "The goal this time is not only to destroy the casino and obtain evidence, but more importantly, we want to take this opportunity to let the big guy hiding in the shadows show his fox tail." ”
The three of them have their own duties, Xu Mo is responsible for formulating the casino raid plan, Enjing is responsible for studying the warehouse layout and infiltration route, and Xia Lan is preparing for various emergencies that may arise. As the night wore on, they exchanged views and scrutinized every detail to make sure nothing went wrong.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, in a dimly lit basement, the big guy was sitting behind a large desk, listening to his subordinates report on the situation of Eun Jing and the others. His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer: "These three little ghosts are really interesting." However, it's time for them to taste failure. ”
At two o'clock in the morning, when the night was at its thickest, Xu Mo, Enjing and Xia Lan quietly left the apartment and went to their respective destinations. They avoided the bustling neighborhoods and hurried along the narrow and deep alleys, and the occasional passer-by who returned late was shocked when they saw their sturdy figures:
"Look at those two young men, they walk with the wind, as if they are going to do something big."
"And that woman, dressed in black and holding a sword in her hand, can't it be a movie shoot?"
"Young people nowadays really dare to play with anything."
As everyone knows, they are talking about heroes who are about to rewrite the fate of the city.
Xu Mo arrived at the perimeter of the casino, and with the help of the cover of night, he skillfully climbed the outer wall and quietly entered the interior. The casino is brightly lit, figures are shaking, and the drug trade is going on. Xu Mo found the right time, quietly eliminated a few patrolling thugs, and then detonated the pre-placed explosives, and suddenly the casino was in chaos. Xu Mo took advantage of the chaos to attack, defeating the enemies one by one, and the facilities in the casino gradually collapsed under his thunderous attack.
At the same moment, Eun Jing and Xia Lan infiltrated the secret warehouse. The inside of the warehouse is heavily guarded, with infrared alarms and cameras everywhere. Enjing used hacking techniques to remotely shut down most of the security systems, while Xia Lan used her swiftness to deal with the remaining guards one by one. The two cooperated tacitly, as if they were in a no-man's land, and successfully found the criminal evidence hidden in the depths.
"Found it!" Eun Jing excitedly raised the hard drive in her hand, which was marked with the words "Project X".
"Well done, Eunjing." Xia Lan glanced at her appreciatively, and then quickly scanned the surrounding environment, and after confirming that nothing was missed, the two quickly evacuated.
When the dawn broke, the whole city was still sleeping, Xu Mo, Enjing and Xia Lan had already met in the safe house, their tired but full of accomplishment faces looked exceptionally bright in the morning light. The bandages on Xu Mo's shoulders had been soaked with blood, and Xia Lan also had a few new knife wounds on his body, but they didn't care, at this moment, they only had the joy of victory and a vision for the future in their eyes.
"Well done, guys." Eun Jing looked at the hard drive in her hand, and her tone was full of anticipation, "Once we make this evidence public, that big guy will have no place to hide." ”
Xu Mo nodded: "It's time to give him a fatal blow." ”
Xia Lan raised her eyebrows: "Before that, I think we should surprise that Li Yang first." ”
Enjing and Xu Mo looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Of course." ”
The three of them quickly gathered their equipment and set out on the journey again. This time, their target is no longer the dark underworld, but the informant Li Yang who had provided them with information. They want to tell him that they've succeeded in their mission and that a new day is about to dawn on the city.
On the way, a sanitation worker witnessed their departing backs and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Today's young people are really amazing, and they are still so energetic in the middle of the night." However, looking at their energy, it is estimated that they are going to do something big. ”
No one knew that these three seemingly ordinary young people were about to set off a storm that swept the whole city.
The sun rises and its golden light fills the land, waking up the sleeping city. Enjing, Xu Mo and Xia Lan walked side by side on the bustling streets, their steps steady and resolute, attracting the attention of pedestrians.
"You see, those three young people have extraordinary temperaments, and they seem to have something big to do." An uncle who sells breakfast whispered to his wife.
"It's not, especially the girl with the sword, who is heroic and sassy, which is really enviable." The wife responded, her eyes flashing with admiration.
When Enjing heard this, she smiled slightly, and a sense of pride welled up in her heart. Xu Mo patted the weapon on his waist, and his eyes became more determined. Xia Lan remained silent, but the hilt of the sword in his hand was held tighter.
They went straight to Li Yang's residence and knocked on the door. Li Yang, who opened the door, saw the three of them, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into joy.
"You're here! How's it going? Li Yang asked eagerly.
Eun Jing raised the hard drive in her hand and said proudly, "We have found all the evidence of 'Project X', and now, we just need to find the right time to completely uncover the true face of that big guy." ”
Xu Mojie: "Not only that, but we have also successfully smashed his largest underground casino, which I believe will deal a major blow to his forces." ”
Li Yang looked at them in disbelief and nodded again and again: "Great, you guys have done an even better job than I imagined." With this evidence, we are one step closer to bringing down that demon. ”
Xia Lan snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy, he hasn't been caught yet, and he may fight back at any time." We must get in touch with the police as soon as possible to work out a plan of action for the next step. ”
The four sat around the living room and began to discuss in detail how to hand over the evidence from the hard drive to the police and make sure the process was foolproof. Enjing used her hacking skills to remotely contact their trusted police officer, Chen Hao.
The phone was connected, and Chen Hao's voice was full of nervousness and expectation: "Enjing, how is it going on over there?" ”
Eun Jing reported succinctly: "We have all the evidence of 'Project X', the underground kingdom of the big guy has been destroyed, and now we ask for a handover to you in person." ”
Chen Hao was excited: "Great! Come to the police station immediately, and I will arrange for the highest level of protection at once. ”
Hanging up the phone, the four immediately set off for the police station. On the way, the pedestrians on the side of the road looked at their backs in a hurry and talked about it.
"Look, those people seem to be the anti-black heroes reported on TV!"
"That's right, it's them! It's said they're fighting that big villain, that's amazing! ”
"Hopefully they'll succeed, it's long overdue for the city to get rid of that guy's shadow."
At the door of the police station, Chen Hao had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them, he stepped forward. Enjing solemnly handed the hard drive into his hands, Chen Hao looked solemn and bowed deeply to them: "Thank you, you are the heroes of this city." ”
Xu Mo patted Chen Hao on the shoulder: "I'll leave it to you next, make sure that guy pays the price he deserves." ”
Xia Lan finally advised: "Remember, be careful, that big guy will never be caught." ”
Then, Enjing and his party turned to leave, and Chen Hao's firm voice came from behind him: "Please rest assured, we will go all out and never let him escape the punishment of the law!" ”
As the sun sets, Enjing, Xu Mo and Xia Lan stroll through the familiar streets, enjoying a rare tranquility. Suddenly, a shrill siren pierced the sky, and several police cars whizzed past and sped towards the center of the city.
Enjing looked up into the distance, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "Here we go." ”
Xu Mo held her hand and looked firm: "No matter what the outcome is, at least we have worked hard and fought." ”
Xia Lan was also full of pride: "We will not lose this war." ”
As night falls, the lights come on, and the city is in the midst of a hustle and bustle brewing an impending storm. And Enjing, Xu Mo and Xia Lan have become the brightest stars in this storm, leading people to the light.
Passerby A: "Look, are those young people the anti-black heroes reported before?" ”
Passerby B: "It should be, look at their eyes, full of determination." I hope they succeed. ”
Passerby C: "Definitely, they are the hope of our city." (End of chapter)
