As the two grey-robed men realized they were outmatched, they began to consider retreating. What truly sealed their decision was Wang She's reply.
"Wang She, from the Capital General Bureau."
Wang She grinned, but his attacks became even more vicious.
As one of the grey-robed men raised his hand to block an attack from a team member, Wang She landed a punch on his chest. A faint sound of breaking bone reached Li Chonglou's ears.
The struck grey-robed man spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
To Wang She's surprise, the man suddenly spun in mid-air, stabilized himself, and then used the momentum to flee outward.
The speed of his escape even stunned Wang She.
The other grey-robed man also seized the opportunity, took a punch from a team member, kicked the team member in the thigh, and fled as well.
In the blink of an eye, the two who had been resisting stubbornly chose to trade injury for escape. They acted not only decisively and quickly but also with remarkable coordination!
"We can't let them run!"
Wang She suddenly shouted, then took the lead in pursuit. The two team members exchanged glances.
"Let's go!"
Wang She could at best chase after one of them. Dealing with the other alone would be a bit taxing for either of them, so they had to act together.
However, before leaving, the team member who had called Li Chonglou over instructed him, "You stay here and protect them. Don't wander off! Do you hear me?"
Li Chonglou nodded silently.
Reassured, the team member left with his companion.
Li Chonglou then turned his gaze to one of the five men, who had been keeping his head down.
"Greetings."
Li Chonglou initiated the conversation. The man's body visibly tensed, but he still did not lift his head. However, the hand he had behind his back suddenly clenched into a claw.
A man behind him, thinking Li Chonglou was speaking to him, asked in confusion, "Do I know you?"
Li Chonglou ignored him, noticing the subtle movement of someone. His eyes narrowed slightly.
The man with his head down was none other than Green Bull's subordinate, A Niu.
Although Li Chonglou didn't know why he had gotten separated, he was confident that if he could capture him, finding Green Bull would only be a matter of time.
Therefore, Li Chonglou unhesitatingly instructed Wen Yi to initiate the soul fusion.
The moment the soul fusion was complete, A Niu finally couldn't hold back. He suddenly spun around, appearing behind the man who had just spoken, and simultaneously reached out to grasp the man's neck.
If it had been before, A Niu would never have considered taking a bystander hostage. But after seeing Li Chonglou mingling with people from the Capital General Bureau, he immediately guessed that Li Chonglou was also from the police force.
And the most effective way to deal with police officers was to take hostages, which was how they had managed to evade capture before.
However, before his hand could reach the man's neck, he felt his own neck firmly gripped by a large hand.
"How is this possible?"
A Niu looked up and saw that Li Chonglou, who had been two meters away moments ago, was now in front of him!
Moreover, the hand gripping his neck exerted a force he couldn't budge!
A Niu panicked.
Li Chonglou smiled calmly at his flustered face. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Take me to your boss."
"We won't kill you?"
The word "we" caused A Niu's expression to falter.
"What do you mean?"
As A Niu spoke, he happened to glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Li Chonglou had, in that brief moment, knocked down the other four men. He didn't know if they were killed or merely knocked unconscious.
Li Chonglou calmly replied, "I mean what I say. You ultimately want someone to get you out of here, right? Why can't that person be me?"
A Niu finally understood Li Chonglou's intention, but he also knew that the current situation was caused by this man!
If it weren't for Li Chonglou, they would have been on the plane by now, and he would have been able to meet his wife and daughter.
Thinking of this, intense ruthlessness ignited in A Niu's eyes.
"Never! We'll throw the item into the sea before we hand it over to you!"
Li Chonglou looked at A Niu with some confusion. He clearly saw the ferocity in his eyes but wondered why he harbored such intense hatred towards him.
Even though he was the cause of their current predicament, it shouldn't be this strong.
However, Li Chonglou quickly dismissed the question.
It didn't matter. It wasn't important.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me. I'm determined to get Green Bull."
A Niu's pupils contracted sharply.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Chonglou's other raised hand stopped.
"I don't want to waste time. You have one last chance."
A clear struggle flashed across A Niu's face. After a long pause, he finally said, "I can take you to my boss, but you have to promise not to hurt us!"
Li Chonglou chuckled, "What's the big deal? Don't worry, I'm not concerned about that."
Then Li Chonglou released A Niu, put a handcuff on him, and then deactivated the soul fusion.
"Let's go."
Li Chonglou said, throwing the handcuffs he held onto the ground. A Niu asked with some confusion, "What about these people? Aren't you afraid something will happen to them?"
"Oh, you're actually worried about them?"
Li Chonglou teased. A Niu's gaze suddenly became evasive.
"I'm just curious, don't you have to obey the orders of the people from the General Bureau?"
"That's fine, I'll just say they were attacked."
A Niu shook his head, "No, I mean, aren't you worried about something happening to them? Wouldn't you be held responsible then?"
Li Chonglou nodded thoughtfully, "What you say has some logic. In that case, let's wait."
He then pulled A Niu to the side.
"Didn't you say we should wait?"
"Are you stupid? If we wait here and they see me, how can I take you away?"
A Niu was speechless.
Afterward, the two hid in a passage mouth some distance away. From here, they could observe the situation inside through a smooth wall without being directly discovered.
The two grey-robed men had traded injury for escape. Under Wang She and the others' full pursuit, it only took a few minutes to catch up, but the fastest to return were not Wang She, but the two team members.
The two team members each held one of the grey-robed men by the arm. Their face coverings had already been torn off, and their faces were filled with unwillingness.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou quickly left with A Niu. With the two team members present, the safety of the unconscious passengers was no longer a concern.
Whether they would take these people out first or continue searching for others was no longer his business.
He couldn't let such matters delay his primary objective.
After all, the root of the problem lay with Green Bull. Once he was captured, the gangsters gathered at the airport would naturally disperse.
Therefore, for him, finding Green Bull as quickly as possible was the priority, not acting as Wang She's babysitter.
