Chapter 240: Chapter 230: Directly Attacking Huanglong
Xiao Lin smiled at Guo Liang, remembering when he first joined Dragon Soul. Apart from martial arts and medical skills, he knew nothing else, all taught hand by hand by Guo Liang and the others. In this sense, the previous generation of Dragon Soul members could be considered his mentors or at least mentors and friends. However, what he later accomplished earned him praise from nearly everyone, establishing a great reputation within Dragon Soul.
"Okay!" Xiao Lin nodded without further ado and agreed directly.
At this time, the fourth floor was completely under the control of the soldiers from the Sharp Sword Special Forces. Looking at the situation on the fifth floor from the surveillance screens, there was a hall on the fifth floor, roughly three to five hundred square meters, which was now crowded with many people, at least a hundred, some in security uniforms and others in suits.
The security force on this floor was quite formidable. When Xiao Lin, Guo Liang, and Liang Feng left the monitoring room, some had already drawn light submachine guns, guarding the two entrances on the fifth floor.
Of course, this security force was negligible for the Sharp Sword members. By the time Xiao Lin and the others reached the fourth floor, the soldiers who had been stationed earlier on the fourth floor had already moved up to the fifth floor.
Those two disciples from the Poison Dragon Gang, holding micro submachine guns, dared not shoot when they saw this stance, and tried to flee immediately. However, facing the members of the Sharp Sword Special Forces, they had no chance of escape and were captured as soon as they reached the corridor from the hall.
"Don’t move! Stand quietly to the side!" The team leader, a lieutenant-colonel rank figure in this troop, naturally wasn’t afraid of these gangsters’ underlings.
The two armed Poison Dragon Gang disciples had already fainted on the ground. The two soldiers chasing them had used injuring techniques as soon as they acted. These ordinary disciples had no resistance, being at most stronger than regular guys, but compared to these special forces regularly involved in dangerous missions, they were mere child’s play.
It was also because they saw that although these two held micro submachine guns, they didn’t aim at them but instead turned and ran at the sight. If they dared to aim their guns, it wouldn’t just be fainting at this point.
Liang Feng followed beside them like in a dream. The seemingly impenetrable fortress from a few hours ago, and now it only took about ten minutes to reach here?
Without a second thought, Liang Feng headed towards the room where Lin Cheng and the others were being held. As she reached the corner of the corridor, she saw several big men preparing to open a door, each holding weapons fiercely. One look and you could tell they were core disciples of the Poison Dragon Gang.
These core disciples of the Poison Dragon Gang naturally knew who the woman at the end of the corridor was. She had caused trouble here last night. Any disciple at Tianli Entertainment City had no reason not to know her. Upon seeing her suddenly appear again, their reaction was swift as they raised guns to fire.
However, while their reaction was swift, the action of the special forces following Liang Feng was quicker. The moment they raised their guns, five or six new model rifles aimed at them and opened fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After a burst of gunfire, the four bandits without exception, had their hands crippled and fell to the ground screaming miserably.
Liang Feng quickly entered the room without caring about what was happening behind her. All she hoped for now was to save Lin Cheng and the others first.
With the burst of gunfire, the originally orderly exiting downstairs guests suddenly couldn’t contain their fear of gunshots, like a breached dam with countless screams and cries, rushing out. Amid this sporadic explosion of chaos, the Sharp Sword Special Forces showed their strongest on-the-spot performance.
Without needing orders from above, the soldiers originally stationed in the passage each split half their personnel to crowded areas to maintain order, calming the situation quickly.
With this gunfire, the Vip members on the fifth floor finally realized something was happening here. Those having fun or doing business in private rooms stuck their heads out, only to see several armed soldiers guarding the passageway, scaring them back inside.
The fifth floor differed from the lower four. It consisted mainly of suites and private rooms, like personal enclosures, with good soundproofing. If not for the succession of shots, firing several times, those inside might not know what was going on outside.
As for the guests in the private rooms, the Sharp Sword Special Forces had no time to worry about them. Their current mission was to ensure the safety of ordinary citizens, maintain order on site, and prevent chaos that could provide an opportunity for the Poison Dragon Gang’s upper echelon to escape.
Currently, there are about thirty soldiers scattered on each floor for guard duty. On the third floor, due to the presence of a monitoring room, twenty soldiers are needed for surveillance, so there are now about one hundred and thirty soldiers in total, all concentrated at the stairway leading to the sixth floor.
At this moment, Liang Feng effortlessly brought Lin Cheng and the other three women safely back to the hall. Seeing the armed soldiers standing around, they were utterly shocked. Before Liang Feng brought them out, they had asked her how she got in, but Liang Feng did not tell them, only saying that it wasn’t the time to talk, and they’d discuss it once they got out.
At this time, the other four women originally thought they could come out and ask Liang Feng how she sneaked in to get them out, but seeing the hall filled with fully armed soldiers exuding authority, even Lin Cheng, who usually loved to talk, suddenly became silent and wide-eyed with disbelief, her pretty eyes staring around with her mouth agape, speechless. The same went for the remaining Lu Dan, Lin Jiaqi, and Lin Liwen who stood by Liang Feng’s side, with Lin Jiaqi even tugging excitedly at Liang Feng’s sleeve.
"I say, can’t you stop being so starry-eyed? Don’t you see what kind of situation this is?" Liang Feng, being their older sister, naturally knew their personalities, especially Lin Jiaqi, who had quite a serious crush and had a fondness for soldier brothers. Seeing so many fully armed and imposing soldiers, how could she not be excited? However, this was not the right time for it.
"Big sister, I’m not being starry-eyed; don’t you think they’re all very handsome?" Lin Jiaqi whispered, feeling a bit guilty.
"Alright, even if you want to be starry-eyed, wait until things here are over. This place isn’t very safe. Let’s return to the third floor!" Having rescued the four women, Liang Feng finally felt relieved and looked towards Xiao Lin and Guo Liang, who were gathering the soldiers, ready to head to the sixth floor.
However, before they could head up, the sound of a door opening came from the sixth floor, and a middle-aged man in his forties came down with a smiling face, unaccompanied by any bodyguards, looking like a typical businessman who always put on a polite face. If you didn’t know him, his smile might have seemed warm and genuinely sincere.
"Dear soldiers, I wonder where my little shop has offended you all. If my place did anything wrong, I’ll close it down immediately and won’t make things difficult for you!" This man was none other than Shen Jiaming, the owner of Tianli Entertainment City, whose face carried an incredibly sincere smile, but inside, he was utterly shocked. Usually relying on his security guards, even the core members of the Poison Dragon Gang were scared stiff by this lineup, leaving him helpless against this formidable troop.
"I happen to know Lieutenant General Fang Xiao of the Yanjing Military Region. We’re all family, just a misunderstanding!" As a businessman, even in this situation, Shen Jiaming concealed his anger quite well, speaking casually with Xiao Lin and Guo Liang as if having a friendly chat at home.
However, to Shen Jiaming’s surprise, Xiao Lin simply replied with three words: "Take him away!"
As soon as the words were spoken, two soldiers emerged and directly took Shen Jiaming down with capturing moves. Only then did Shen Jiaming clearly see the opposing lineup, with the hall seemingly holding no less than a hundred and fifty soldiers, all armed, their presence carrying a faint deadly aura that would send chills down one’s spine.
"Which God of Slaughter have I offended? These aren’t troops from the Yanjing Military Region!" Shen Jiaming immediately made a judgment. He hadn’t lied about knowing Lieutenant General Fang Xiao from the Yanjing Military Region, although whether Fang Xiao knew him was another matter.
Moreover, being quickly taken down without being allowed to speak alarmed him greatly.
"Who are you people? Do you know that what you’re doing is illegal? Even if you’re active-duty officers, can you bully people like this? I run a legitimate business!"
"Gag him!" Xiao Lin coldly ordered, then led the remaining personnel directly to the sixth floor, heading towards the No. 1 Heaven Suite.
"I... I’ll report you to the military court..." Shen Jiaming hadn’t finished speaking when he was chopped on the neck by a nearby soldier, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Suddenly, Guo Liang said, "Military Doctor, two waitstaff entered the No. 1 Heaven Suite and quickly came out, moving towards the kitchen. The monitoring room analysis indicates that the staff who entered and left are not the same!"
"Poison Dragon is trying to escape!" Xiao Lin straightforwardly concluded, recalling the scene where Poison Dragon jumped out of the window to escape at Dragon and Tiger Heaven and Earth Entertainment City. He then ordered, "Instruct the soldiers outside to shoot on sight anyone escaping from the sixth floor!"
"This... yes!" Guo Liang hesitated for a moment before immediately passing the order.
Then, Xiao Lin and Guo Liang led the soldiers swiftly up to the sixth floor, but before exiting the staircase, Xiao Lin looked towards the sixth floor, frowning at the scene full of speechlessness.
