Chapter 100: Chen Yuxin's Astonishment

  This cemetery looks very old and dilapidated, with some crumbling stone walls around it, which should be quite a few years old. However, no one has taken care of it, and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, looking desolate.

  The cemetery covers a large area, and the surrounding areas are also wasteland. There are many small tombs around the cemetery, some of which have wreaths on them, indicating that they haven't been there for long.

  Ning Yu walked into the mausoleum, looked around and roughly judged what this place was about. This should be a tomb of that dynasty, but because the tomb was not famous or had nothing valuable, it was abandoned. Later, some villagers also buried their ancestors nearby, making this piece of mausoleum a public cemetery.

  Such places are actually not uncommon throughout the country, especially some modern tombs, such as those from the Republican era or the late Qing dynasty. Due to various reasons like war and disruption of family lines, they became abandoned graves. Since the tombs themselves have no value worth restoring and the surrounding land has not been developed, they ended up in this state.

  Ning Yu was close to the main entrance of the mausoleum. From the edge of the main entrance, he vaguely recognized two characters on an upside-down stone tablet: Tong Garden.

  This Tongyuan Garden is far away from the urban area of Shangjiang City, and it is close to the other side of Lianyun Mountain. From the main entrance of Tongyuan Garden, walking in almost allows you to enter the southeastern mountain range of Lianyun Mountain. Moreover, there are all tombs nearby, giving people a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

  Ning Yuan entered through the main gate and opened up his senses, but he didn't detect any movement, so he proceeded with caution.

  In the southeast corner of Tongyuan, which had already entered a valley in Lianyun Mountain, Chen Yuxin and five or six police officers were hiding inside. At this time, several police officers were all pale-faced, with bloodstains on their bodies, having clearly gone through a fierce battle.

  Chen Yuxin's long hair was already drenched with sweat, disheveled and scattered on her head, her face covered in dirt, leaning against a rock panting heavily.

  At this time, Chen Yuxin had already lost that heroic spirit and instead looked like a helpless girl, one hand tightly grasping the pistol, while the other hand was clutching the red rope hanging around her neck.

  On the red rope, a small piece of jade was hanging at this time, only as big as a green bean. This green-bean-sized jade fragment was tightly grasped in Chen Yu Xin's hand, and even the sharp edges of the fragment had pierced through her palm, but she felt no pain.

  Leaning against the giant stone, Chen Yuxin's eyes were slightly scattered, and her mind was still thinking about the previous big battle. Her face had a dazed expression, with some lingering fear and incredulity.

  At 2 pm, the high district branch received a clue that someone was active near Tongyuan Garden. As a result, all elite police officers from the entire criminal police brigade were dispatched to Tongyuan Garden, hoping for some gains. Unexpectedly, they encountered an ambush by thugs.

  It might be inappropriate to call it an ambush, as the other side had only four people, while their criminal police squad had a full eight. However, after engaging in combat, Chen Yuxin discovered how formidable the opponents were.

  The other side had four people, each of whom was a master, not only agile in their movements but also accurate with their guns. Within one minute of the two sides clashing, eight ordinary police officers were killed, and Wang Ming, the captain of the criminal police team, was also sacrificed in the battle. The original eight people were left with only five, and two of them were shot.

  The other party held an ordinary handgun as if it were a sniper rifle, no matter how deeply Chen Yu-xin and his group hid, as long as they slightly exposed themselves, the other party could kill them with one shot, while Chen Yu-xin and his police officers couldn't even hurt the other party's skin.

  Other police may not have noticed, but Chen Yuxin herself clearly remembered that at the time a bullet had already hit her abdomen. However, just as the bullet struck her, the jade gourd on her chest suddenly shattered, and the bullet that was supposed to hit her seemed to hit the bulletproof vest instead, without actually harming her.

  In fact, they did not expect to encounter such a fierce battle when they came to Tong Garden this time. No one wore bulletproof vests and each person only brought five bullets.

  At that time, Chen Yuxin had already clearly felt the death and clearly felt the impact of the bullet. She herself was also knocked down by the bullet and thrown out three meters away.

  But when she got up, there was nothing on her body, only the jade gourd in front of her chest was crushed, and only a green bean-sized piece of jade stone remained on the red thread.

  What Chen Yuxin found most bizarre was that after she was shot, the other side stopped attacking for some unknown reason, allowing her and a few others to take advantage of the opportunity to escape and hide in this valley.

  This valley is easy to defend and hard to attack. There's only one entrance, and it's very hidden inside. The four of them made a probing attack and then got stuck outside.

  Although the other party did not attack at this time, Chen Yuxin and several others were trapped inside. There were only seven or eight bullets left, and the two wounded police officers' wounds were still bleeding. If they continued like this, there would inevitably be a risk to their lives.

  What made Chen Yuxin and his group desperate was that since they entered Tongyuan, the communication signals on their bodies were lost, and now they couldn't get help, they could only wait dryly, and they had to worry about the four people outside rushing in at any time.

  "Captain Chen, what should we do? Xiao Hua has lost too much blood and is about to pass out. If we don't break through soon, we'll all really die here."

  Several people have been trapped in the valley for almost an hour, and a policeman obviously couldn't bear it, came to Chen Yuxin's side and complained.

  "Break through the siege, how to break through?"

  Chen Yuxin snapped out of her trance, her voice cold as she said: "You've all seen the enemy's marksmanship before. Once we leave this valley, we'll be sitting ducks. Do you think our remaining bullets will be enough to take them down?"

  "But waiting like this isn't a solution either. Xiaohua and Chen Ke have both been shot, if we keep going on like this, the two of them will lose their lives."

  "Don't worry, we've lost contact with the branch office, they'll definitely investigate and it won't be long before the support team arrives," Chen Yuxin comforted.

  As she spoke, her hand unconsciously reached for the red cord around her neck again, muttering to herself: "Ningyuan, is this because of you? If so, do you know my situation?"

  Having personally experienced that magical moment, Chen Yuxin's heart was extremely complicated at this time. On the one hand, she didn't believe it really had anything to do with Ningyuan and couldn't believe in such a miraculous thing that transcended cognition. On the other hand, she couldn't help but acknowledge the fact of what had just happened, and even felt some longing for Ningyuan's appearance.

  Outside the valley, two middle-aged men wearing sportswear were standing guard on both sides of the valley. Their faces were calm and cold, without any tension, and one person's mouth was even holding a cigarette.

  At the same time, on the steep peaks of the mountains on both sides of the valley, two figures were moving. The peaks on both sides were extremely steep and almost inaccessible, but these two people were agile and kept climbing up, apparently intending to enter the valley from both sides and eliminate Chen Yu-xin and others inside.

  In Tong Garden, Ningyuan opened up his senses and quickly moved forward, soon arriving at the depths of Tong Garden.

  All the way, Ningyuan was comforted by Chen Yuxin's words, but he also discovered the strangeness in this Tong Garden. The deeper he went, the thicker the eerie atmosphere became. Moreover, Ningyuan could vaguely feel that the ground here had been disturbed recently, and the traces were from the past few days.

  "Could it be that there is a famous tomb hidden here?" Ning Yuan wondered as he searched for Chen Yu Xin's trail, if there was indeed a famous tomb hidden here, then the presence of a notorious grave-robbing gang in the vicinity would make sense.

  Generally, tomb raiders will also have geomancers among them to inspect the earth's pulse and find the burial chamber. The disturbance of the earth's pulse is normal.

  "Yes, there are signs of a fight here."

  Ningyuan, who was advancing forward, suddenly stopped and carefully looked around, soon discovering three police officers in uniform lying not far away.

  "This group of people really has big guts."

  After checking the bodies of the two policemen, there was no Chen Yuxin. Ning felt a mix of relief and admiration for the boldness of this group of grave robbers.

  They dared to openly rob the police and were willing to tear their faces with the police, this group of grave robbers must have a great plan, and their background is absolutely not small.

  Ningyuan also involuntarily summoned his full spirit and slowly approached the mountain valley in the southeast along the trail.

  About thirty meters away from the valley, Ningyuan sensed that there were two people not far away, with dense and thick murderous aura on their bodies, very similar to the two who assassinated him last night, both of whom were ruthless fugitives.
