Chapter 274 – Recovering the stolen relics!

Coast.

A few seagulls are flying across the sky.

Trucks and cars were parked across the road, and bodies were on the ground. The Boss hiding behind a car was quiet. He is furious over what happened, as he looked at the remaining three men beside him. Sweat is pouring down his forehead, and his three followers looked at each other. They swallowed their saliva as they heard footsteps behind him. Although all of them had killed people before, at this moment, they could feel shivers down their spine.

This person, who can kill more than a dozen men easily, is not someone they can fight against!

The followers tighten their grips on the guns!

Dong Xuebing counted how many criminals are remaining and shouted. “Everyone from Hai Bing Bath Parlor! You all are surrounded and cannot escape. If you don’t want to die, put down your weapons and walk out with your hands behind your heads! Do you all hear me? I will repeat it! Drop your weapons and come out with your hands behind your heads!”

One person had surrounded all of them?!

If the criminals heard this in the past, they would be laughing out loud. But now, none of them dares to laugh.

One of the followers got scared. “Boss, we…”

Click! The Boss reloaded his gun. “Kill him! Whoever dares to escape, I will kill him first!”

“He is alone! Don’t be scare!” A loyal follower shouted. “We are all armed and can kill him! This time, let’s aim properly!”

The remaining criminals held up their guns.

About 30 seconds later, Dong Xuebing saw those criminals were not coming out from their hiding spots and knew they are not going to surrender. He took a big step and was about to rush out from the back of a truck. Suddenly, a gun fired, but Dong Xuebing raised his foot half a second earlier. The bullet nearly hit his leg, and brushed past his shoe!

Hou Qing shouted from her hiding spot. “Be careful! They are hiding under the car!”

Dong Xuebing does not need her reminder. He dived onto the ground, and the moment Dong Xuebing got onto the floor, he pushes himself up. At the same time, a gun was fired, and the bullet missed his chest by inches. It was a close shave. He lowered himself again and raised his gun against the undercarriage. He saw a man on the side of the car pointing his gun at him!

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots were heard!

That man had a bullet wound on his head, while Dong Xuebing picks himself up unharmed.

The tenth man!

Dong Xuebing might make dodging bullets and killing those people look easy, but it’s not. Some of the bullets might miss him, but he got a fright every time. The rounds that hit his body hurt, and he had to use BACK to turn back time. If he is lucky, he can avoid the bullets with two or three BACKs. Even though he was not shot, but he had physically and mentally experienced getting countless times!

It’s time to end this!

It will be disastrous if these people escape!

Dong Xuebing lowered his body and took cover behind the parked car. He tried to find the location of the remaining men, but all of them were hiding behind covers. From Dong Xuebing’s position, he could not see them. He looks out from his cover, but could not see or hear anyone. Dong Xuebing had no choice but to walk out from his hiding spot to a new location.

“Now!”

Someone shouted!

Suddenly, a few men stood up from behind a car, and point their guns at Dong Xuebing! Three guns are pointing at Dong Xuebing now!

However, Dong Xuebing seems to know where those men were hiding and opened fired the moment that man shouted. Bang! Hou Qing, Xiao Wang, and Brother Yu were stunned by what they saw. That man who wanted to catch Dong Xuebing by surprise was shot in his head the moment he got up from behind the car!

Hou Qing, Brother Yu, and Xiao Wang had wanted to warn Dong Xuebing when they saw that man jumping out from behind the car. But before they can say a word, Dong Xuebing killed him with a headshot. Dong Xuebing’s reaction is ridiculous fast!

The Eleventh men are killed!

The Boss swears and starts firing at Dong Xuebing!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Shots are fired!

One of the followers emptied all his rounds at Dong Xuebing!

After killing one man, Dong Xuebing quickly take a step back. Two rounds brushed past his left and right shoulders. The bullet on the right is slightly lower and tore his shirt. After dodging those two shots, Dong Xuebing tilted his head and lifted one leg. Three rounds whizzed past his ear and hair. The next second, the Boss and his men fired two rounds at Dong Xuebing’s chest. Dong Xuebing twisted his waist, and one of his buttons was smashed into pieces by one of the bullets. When he got up again, he was unharmed.

That follower took a deep breath, and felt he is watching in real life!

Why? Why can he avoid all the bullets? No one can even hit him at this close distance!

The Boss saw his follower in a daze and shouts at him. “Fire! What are you waiting for?!” The Boss quickly got down behind the car to reload.

The follower regained his senses and continue shooting at Dong Xuebing.

But it was too late. Dong Xuebing raised his hand slightly. Bang! Another headshot!

The twelfth man! If the Crew-cut and Lao Hei in the basement were included, Dong Xuebing had killed fourteen men within 3 minutes! Dong Xuebing looks at the car in front and the surrounding. He knew there are no more men, as he raised his gun. “Mr. Wu. You are the only one remaining! I don’t want to say anymore. Just drop your weapon and surrender. This way, you might still live for a few more days. If you choose to continue, don’t blame me!”

It was quite behind the car.

Dong Xuebing is not in a hurry. This man is the mastermind, and it’s beneficial to keep him alive.

Seeing the coast is clear, Hou Qing, Xiao Wang, and Brother Yu got out of the building carefully. They picked up the guns from the bodies in front of them and got closer to Dong Xuebing slowly.

“Xiao Dong…” Hou Qing called out to Dong Xuebing but did not know what to say.

Dong Xuebing turns to her. “Sister Hou, can you all secure the area and make sure all of them are killed?”

Hou Qing nodded and started checking the surroundings and cars. Xiao Wang was afraid some of the criminals were feinting death and went over to kick those bodies carefully. But Hou Qing stopped him and told him not to waste his effects. Xiao Wang blushed. Hou Qing is right. All the bodies were shot in their heads, and there’s no way for them to survive.

After checking the area, Hou Qing was relieved. “There’s no one left.”

Brother Yu was excited. This gunfight is too one-sided and ended too fast!

Dong Xuebing smiles and shouted. “Mr. Wu. Have you decided?” The Boss did not reply, and Dong Xuebing continued. “I will give you three seconds! If you still don’t surrender by the count of three, you will bear the consequences!” Dong Xuebing made a hand gesture to ask Hou Qing to get ready.

Hou Qing shouted. “Surrender now! You will not escape!”

Xiao Wang counted. “One…”

“Two…”

“Three…”

Dong Xuebing frowned and was about to get around the car.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Ding! It was the sound of a pin dropping, and a small black object was thrown out from behind the car. One meter, two meters, three meters… towards Dong Xuebing, Hou Qing, and the rest. Three meters… two meters… one meter… it was at this very moment, Dong Xuebing and the rest saw what that black object is. It’s a hand grenade!

Dong Xuebing and the rest were stunned! Grenade?! How come the Boss has a grenade with him?!

All of them were too careless. None of them had expected their opponent still has such a dangerous weapon!

“Get down!” Hou Qing turned pale, and all of them got onto the ground!

Ding…

Thud…

The grenade landed on the ground and bounced twice!

Boom! It exploded after the second bounce!

Dong Xuebing, Hou Qing, Xiao Wang, and Brother Yu, were blasted into pieces!

It was total darkness, and Dong Xuebing knew he is dead. Damn! He had killed almost everyone but ended up getting killed by a grenade at the final moment?! How did they get hand grenades?! The impacted area is too big, and even if he uses BACK, there is no way to avoid it. He can’t be running dozen of meters within one or two seconds. Even if he can escape from the grenade, what about Hou Qing and the rest?! He also does not have much time left on his power! He is unable to return too long into the past! What should he do?

That’s it!

Dong Xuebing suddenly had an idea!

BACK six seconds!

The scene in front of Dong Xuebing changed!

“Surrender now! You will not escape!”

“One…”

“Two…”

“Three…”

Dong Xuebing suddenly shouted. “Get down!”

Hou Qing, Xiao Wang, and Brother Yu paused for a second, but when they say the small black object thrown from behind the car, they quickly get onto the ground!

That is a hand grenade!

Hou Qing shouted. “Xiao Dong! Get down!”

Dong Xuebing did not get onto the floor. He took a step forward and positioned himself at where the grenade will land. He raised his leg, like someone taking a penalty kick. The next moment, the grenade landed centimeters in front of Dong Xuebing, and he kicked it upwards lightly!

Ding!

The grenade was kicked upwards to the sky!

Dong Xuebing quickly got onto the ground!

Boom! The grenade exploded! The blast wave pushes them downwards into the ground!

Shards were flying everywhere, but most of them were towards the sky, and the people below the blast were not hurt!

Dong Xuebing was relieved as he got up from the ground. Hou Qing and Brother Yu were stunned. Kicking a grenade away?! What the f**k?! How daring is this person?! How fast is his reaction?! What Dong Xuebing did was beyond their comprehension! They had never heard of anyone doing such a thing before in their lives!

The Boss, hiding behind the car, saw everything and was stunned. He immediately throws his gun on the ground!

“I… surrender!”

This guy cannot be killed by guns and even dare to kick a grenade away! How is he going to continue fighting?

The Boss had never met a Police Officer like this guy before and had given up hope on escaping.

Dong Xuebing was afraid the Boss might be playing tricks, or there will be a second grenade. He waved to Hou Qing and the rest to step back before he walks over to the Boss cautiously. He walked around the car and saw the Boss sitting there panting. The Boss is not holding any guns or grenades, and Dong Xuebing is relieved. “You should have surrendered earlier! Where did you hide the relics?”

The Boss kept quiet.

Dong Xuebing did not want to waste time and pointed his gun at the Boss’s head.

The Boss sighed and pointed to a Honda Accord in front.

Xiao Wang got closer slowly and pointed his gun at the Boss.

Dong Xuebing kept his gun and walked towards the Accord with Hou Qing. The rear passenger seats are empty, and there is a big box underneath the seats. Dong Xuebing opened the passenger door and carried the box out, while Hou Qing opened the boot. The scepter from the Liao dynasty, the porcelain container from the Song dynasty, and the rest of the relics were in the boot and were not damaged. Dong Xuebing and Hou Qing were relieved as they were afraid the relics would but damaged in the explosion and gunfights earlier.

Now, only the most critical Liu Shen Jade Suit Sewn with Golden Thread is missing!

Dong Xuebing looks at the long box he pulled out from the car. He reached over and opened it carefully.

The greyish jade pieces were tied together into the shape of a man, and the threads were not golden color. It looks old and dirty. Brother Yu saw it and asked. “Is this… fake?”

Hou Qing is not sure.

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “This item is more than a thousand years old. The jade pieces will not look like the jade we have now, and the gold threads have been corroded. It’s already a miracle for it to be preserved in this state. Ah… finally, all the stolen relics have been found! This is definitely authentic.” Dong Xuebing knows about antiques than the rest and could tell the authenticity with one glance.

Everything is over!

The stolen relics have been recovered!

Dong Xuebing and Hou Qing looked at each other and sighed in relief.

Back at the car, Dong Xuebing found a pair of handcuffs from a body. It should belong to Xiao Wang or Brother Yu, and he cuffed the Boss. He waited for a while, but the boat did not appear. Dong Xuebing is unsure if the people on the boat saw what happened there through binoculars, or they had not received instructions from the Boss. But in conclusion, the boat that is supposed to come will not be arriving.

Brother Yu said. “Call the Bureau.”

Xiao Wang used the Boss’s mobile phone and called their Bureau. Dong Xuebing and Hou Qing shook their head. Although they are in a secluded location, with the gunshots and grenade explosion, the Public Security should have sent their people over. Is this the way how things work here? Xiao Wang could tell what Dong Xuebing and Hou Qing were thinking and said embarrassedly. “There is an accident in the Western district, and there is a bad traffic jam.”

Brother Yu interrupted. “This time, it’s all thanks to Xiao Dong. You are a sharpshooter.”

Hou Qing looks at Dong Xuebing. “Are you… from the Armed Police?”

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “I am from Public Security.”

Public Security? How can someone from the Public Security so good at fighting? Of course… even the officers from the Armed Police department cannot be as good as him!

Everyone relaxed after everything had ended. They looked at Dong Xuebing from head to toes again. All of them can still remember what happened earlier during the gunfight, and it felt like a dream!

“Ah!” Xiao Wang exclaimed suddenly. “I remember it now! Dong Xuebing! You are Chief Dong from Yan Tai County?!” Brother Yu was confused as he had not heard about this person before. Hou Qing frowned and tried to recall. Xiao Wang looked at Dong Xuebing and said excitedly. “Nine out of ten escapees from the prison had run to Yan Tai County and hid in a school. They held the students and teachers as hostages, and I heard you pretended to be a hostage and killed all of them with your hands cuffed. Is it true?”

Hou Qing heard what Xiao Wang said and remembered who Dong Xuebing was. She gasped. “A few days, the Mayor was held hostage, and a bomb was strapped on her. You are the one who defused the bomb and rescued her! I heard you had also risked your life to save many people in a landslide, and ended up getting buried alive. You are that Chief Dong?!” The public might not know a lot of things about Dong Xuebing, but they are all from the same ministry and can easily find out about his deeds.

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Yes.”

“It’s you?!” Xiao Wang’s eyes opened wide.

Hou Qing looks at Dong Xuebing. “I read on the papers… you are injured, right?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes. I was just discharged from the hospital.”

Brother Yu was stunned. He had still been calling Dong Xuebing as Xiao Dong and thought he is just an ordinary officer. Chief Dong? A Bureau Chief?! Dong Xuebing is several ranks above him, and the events mentioned by Xiao Wang and Hou Qing shocked him. This guy can defuse a bomb, kill nine escape fugitives with his hands cuffed, and even survive after getting buried in a landslide. He almost swears when he recalls about the gunfight earlier. Is this person even human?! What is he made of?

Brother Yu thought back to the time when they were still in the basement. At that time, Dong Xuebing said he wants to rush out alone, and Brother Yu was still laughing at him in his heart.

But now, Brother Yu felt that Dong Xuebing could easily kill all of them even if their numbers are doubled!

This guy is on another level!
