Chapter 58: The War in the New House (Part 1)

  Bought a new house, Dongfang Yu and Li Huanhuan are the most excited, talking about the benefits of the new house in my ear every day. In fact, I am also very much looking forward to it, but because of being hospitalized, until today, I have not been able to see our new house with my own eyes.

  So on this discharge day today, I didn't think of anything else and just wanted to take a look at the new house as soon as possible.

  Du Yifei didn't come over today because she had class. Actually, I'm almost recovered now and don't need her to take care of me anymore.

  Because Zhou Hui and Dongfang Yu also had to go to work, Li Huanhuan came alone in the car to pick me up from the hospital. She also teased me: "Today we can finally go see our new house, are you excited?"

  I have to admit that I had some fantasies about the new house, which was highly praised by Dongfang Yu. However, when I arrived at the new house, I was still shocked.

  This is not a villa, it's a small estate. The three-story building covers an area of at least 300-400 square meters. It feels inappropriate to call it a small building as it is three times larger than the average house. Behind the building, there is a small hill that looks natural. Next to the hill is a garden with a real pond, swimming pool, and an independent garage... All together, the area covers at least several thousand square meters. This house gives me the feeling of being in a manor, which is far beyond a villa.

  No wonder after seeing it once, Li Huanhuan and Dongfang Yu decided to buy it. Such a house would be liked by anyone who has seen it.

  As I entered the house, my first feeling was that I had entered the Huixiang Pavilion. The decoration inside is as luxurious as the Huixiang Pavilion. However, the interior design here is more comfortable and cozy compared to the Huixiang Pavilion, making it more suitable for living. It seems that the interior design was done by a master craftsman, with a perfect blend of luxury, elegance, grandeur, and comfort - not an easy feat to achieve unless one is a true master.

  I just took a glance and determined that this villa... no, it's this estate, is far from being worth only two million. If the Dragon Gate Society's raid hadn't happened, this place would have been worth at least five or six million.

  Li Huan looked at me staring blankly at the house and couldn't help but laugh: "How is it? Did we make a bad deal?"

  I quickly shook my head: "No loss, no loss, made a big profit. This house, if someone else bought it, I think at least 30-40 million."

  Li Huanhuan waved her hand: "You're wrong. Sister Hui said that the original owner of this house spent almost six million yuan when building it. Later, they also built a pond and a swimming pool, which added up to at least one million yuan. So, everything here is worth at least seven million yuan."

  I was taken aback, then nodded: "That's right. Just look at the decoration, the land it occupies... Alas... If I could have a house like this, I'd be satisfied for the rest of my life."

  Li Huanhuan laughed loudly: "You already have it now, what are you sighing about?"

  I was taken aback, and then I remembered that I am also one of the owners of this house. I couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, I'm also one of the owners of this house, haha..."

  Li Huanhuan helped me put away my luggage and pulled me upstairs, saying as we walked: "On the first floor, except for the living room, dining room, and kitchen, there is only one other room. We discussed it and decided to leave it empty for now. The second floor has my room and Yu'er's room, as well as six empty rooms - you can choose any one of them to live in. The third floor is a recreational area with a gym, a card room, a billiard room, a table tennis room, and two computer rooms with computers that were replaced within the last two years. Oh, and there's a staircase on the third floor that goes directly up to the rooftop, which is an open-air balcony where we can do many things."

  I'm even more surprised, the original owner of this house is really good at enjoying life, almost everything has been thought of.

  Li Huan continued, "I forgot to tell you that near the north side of the rooftop, there is a flowerbed where many precious flowers and grasses are planted. Although we can't see their beauty in full bloom now, I think by summer, all sorts of beautiful flowers will be blooming."

  I really want to go upstairs now and take a look, so I walked up the stairs in big strides: "Let's go take a look now, what you said has piqued my curiosity."

  Li Huan followed me up to the rooftop with a big smile on his face and said: "I guarantee you will be very surprised."

  I didn't have time to say much, and hastily climbed up the stairs to the rooftop. The rooftop was very large, except for the staircase and flowerbeds taking up a part of the space, there were probably still about 300 square meters left, it was like a small plaza. It would be enough to build a volleyball court on top, with room to spare.

  In the flower bed, many small signs are erected, with names of orchids, plum blossoms, peonies, chrysanthemums, roses, azaleas, lotus flowers, tea flowers, osmanthus fragrans and narcissus written on them. They seem to be some rare varieties.

  I looked at everything in front of me, feeling very unreal, and couldn't help but say to Li Huanhuan: "Unexpectedly, we got such a big bargain this time. Alas, if it weren't for your persistence, we might have missed out on such a good house."

  Li Huan smiled and said: "Actually, it's true. This time we did the right thing. If we had followed your idea, we really wouldn't have had the chance to buy such a good house."

  I also acknowledged this and turned around to go downstairs to take a look at my room.

  I actually already have a dormitory at school, and having a room here is just in case I need to stay over for a few nights sometimes.

  Almost every room is decorated luxuriously, and the style is also different. At a glance, you can tell which room is for men, which room is for women or children. The designer is really not an ordinary person, I insist on thinking so.

  I chose a room facing east and then went with Li Huanhuan to the living room on the first floor, preparing to rest for a while before going to school for formal registration.

  On my last day in hospital, Zhou Hui had already helped me finish the physical examination and I also got the physical examination report, so I could go to school for registration and attend classes.

  Just as we arrived at the gate of the yard, ready to get on the car, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I quickly took a look at Li Huanhuan, and Li Huanhuan also had a puzzled face. It turned out that our car parked outside the yard was gone.

  My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly pulled Li Huanhuan back into the courtyard. Just then, a piercing gunshot rang out. I didn't have time to look around, and Li Huanhuan and I rushed hastily into the house.

  I immediately thought of finding my gun, but then I remembered that my gun was still in the Public Security Bureau and hadn't been retrieved. Li Huanhuan, however, was well-prepared and rushed into her room to grab two handguns.

  I took the pistol from her hand, and as I lay down at the window to look out, I saw a man in a white upper garment standing at the gate of the yard looking towards us.

  I wasn't sure if this was the same person who had stolen our car and attacked us, so I didn't dare fire immediately, but just kept him under surveillance.

  At this time, Li Huanhuan had already picked up the phone to call the police and heard her say in a low voice: "The police will arrive soon, let's not go out, just stay here."

  I was just about to respond when I saw the man in white suddenly pull out a rocket launcher from behind his back. I was shocked and instinctively raised my pistol, aiming at the man in white, and shot him down with one bullet.

  As I watched the bright red blood flowing out of the white-shirted man's chest, my brain suddenly went completely blank. The feeling after killing someone was very strange, with fear, worry, terror and confusion... all sorts of strange feelings rushed to my heart at once, leaving me completely at a loss.

  Li Huanhuan was also startled when she saw me shoot, rushed over to take a look, and then loudly shouted at me: "Jin Cang, wake up!"

  I was startled awake by Li Huanhuan's cries and didn't even dare to take another look at the fallen white-clothed man.

  Li Huan loudly said: "We go up to the rooftop, it's not safe here anymore."

  I dazedly followed Li Huanhuan to the rooftop, and before I could even recover from the aftermath of the murder, I heard Li Huanhuan fire three shots in a row.

  The gunshot rang out right next to my ear, startling me, but also pulling me back from the brink of panic. I quickly looked around and saw that five or six more people had entered the courtyard, all armed, advancing towards us while firing their guns, apparently targeting us.

  Li Huanhuan's hasty shooting didn't hit any of the invaders at all. I knew that this was not the time to be lenient, so I gritted my teeth and raised my gun to start counterattacking the invading enemy.

  Although I don't know who the intruders are, judging from their weapons and equipment, they must be related to the Wanlong Society. Such excellent weapons and equipment, coming to invade us in broad daylight, it's hard not to believe that it's the Wanlong Society.

  My shooting skills used to be pretty good, but now they can barely pass as decent. One clip of bullets and I only managed to hit one person. And it was just his left shoulder, only injuring him enough for him to retreat.

  Li Huanhuan also calmed down when I started counterattacking and began to shoot accurately. I saw her hit two people with three shots, causing the rest of them to retreat completely.

  I still didn't dare to be careless, staring tightly at the big gate of the courtyard, afraid that there would be a fish escaping from the net and rushing over to harm us.

  Li Huanhuan was also tense, but much better than me. She took out her phone again to call the police: "If you don't come over, we'll be beaten to a pulp. There are at least seven of them, all with weapons... what kind of weapons? Guns, rocket launchers... that's what I saw. What... you're on your way, hurry up, we can't hold out for much longer."

  As soon as Li Huanhuan finished speaking, I saw two people quietly approaching our small building along the wall of the courtyard, one on the left and one on the right. I immediately opened fire, although I didn't hit them, but also blocked them outside. Li Huanhuan saw it too, and immediately put down the phone to shoot, coordinating with me quite tacitly.

  The gunfight should have drawn the attention of others around, but not a single person dared to stand out, after all, ordinary people did not dare to say or do anything when facing **** with guns.

  So Li Huanhuan and I could only fight alone. Fortunately, Li Huanhuan was well-prepared, with enough bullets, and we were able to temporarily suppress the invading people. In addition, we had a geographical advantage, overlooking from above, and those invaders did not think of a way to rush in for the time being.

  But such a situation can only be temporary, once they use powerful weapons like rocket shells, Li Huanhuan and I may lose the power to fight back. The shadow of death slowly enveloped Li Huanhuan and me, so we could only grit our teeth and hold on, not giving the invaders any chance to rush in.

  If we saw someone trying to rush in, we would quickly open fire to block them. After holding out for several minutes, the intruders suddenly fell silent. My heart skipped a beat as I shouted loudly: "Fall back, they may be going to attack us with rockets."

  Li Huanhuan started backing away the moment I opened my mouth, moving further and further away from where we originally were. At this time, I also ran off, but not in the same direction as Li Huanhuan.

  Facing such a powerful weapon, staying together would greatly increase the chances of death. This I understand, so I chose to keep a certain distance from Li Huanhuan. However, we still kept an eye on the courtyard gate, otherwise, once they charged in, it would be difficult for us to hold on any longer.

  Far away, I heard the sound of a police siren, and at the same time, I also heard Li Huanhuan's shout: "Quickly call Sun Heng, use your secret contact hotline, quickly!"

  I suddenly remembered Sun Heng and quickly took out my phone, dialing the special contact number assigned to me. This number could only reach Sun Heng, who was also my direct supervisor.

  Sun Heng answered the phone quickly, which surprised me. I didn't have time to say anything else and just loudly said: "Sun Heng, we are being attacked in the villa area next to the school. There are seven people with weapons and rocket launchers. Please hurry up and notify the relevant departments to come and rescue us."

  Sun Heng responded with a sound, and then I heard him speaking loudly: "Immediately contact the 1008 team headquarters, have them send people to support Jin Cang, the specific location has already been sent to them..."

  I put down the phone and let out a sigh of relief, just as I was about to tell Li Huanhuan about the reply I got from Sun Heng after contacting him. Suddenly, I heard Li Huanhuan say: "Someone is coming over, with their hands up, unarmed, what should we do?"

  I was stunned and quickly looked up to see a person slowly walking towards the yard with their hands raised, unarmed, apparently wanting to negotiate with us.

  "Don't move! One more move and I'll shoot!"

  The man stopped and didn't move again: "I'm here to talk with you all. How about it, can we chat now?"

  I recalled many scenes from TV shows, where negotiations were often just a smokescreen to attract attention, and the real killer moves always came from behind. So I quietly made a hand gesture to Li Huanhuan and whispered: "You go to the back and keep watch, if there's any situation, just shoot..."

  After Li Huanhuan quietly left, I said to the people who came to negotiate: "What is there to talk about between us? What kind of people are you and why did you attack us?"

  That man laughed: "Haha... what kind of people we are, you're very clear in your heart. We are under the Red Dragon Association of the Wanlong Association, and this time we came just to catch you back. How about it, do you understand our meaning?"

  I burst out laughing: "Haha, you make it sound so easy! What makes you think I'll go back with you? Haven't you heard the police sirens outside? In another minute, you'll be surrounded and killed by the cops. Whether or not you can survive is a question, where's the opportunity to catch me?"

  That man fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Do you think a few police officers can trap us? You're too naive. Let me tell you, our people have already blocked the traffic to here, and the police you're expecting won't be able to arrive anytime soon. I advise you to follow me quietly, otherwise, bullets don't discriminate, and hurting you and your friend's lives wouldn't be fun."

  I knew what the man said might be true, and the police really couldn't rush over in a short period of time. So I quietly made another call to Sun Heng and whispered: "The highway is blocked in the north, and the police can't get through. Tell the people who come to rescue us not to take the highway." Then I loudly said to that man: "If I go with you, will you let my friend go?"

  That man smiled: "The order we received was to catch you back, others have nothing to do with us, and naturally they won't be troubled."

  I shook my head: "I don't believe you. Call your leader over and talk to me, what you say doesn't count."

  That person was taken aback for a moment, then let out a cold laugh and turned around to leave, without saying another word.

  It seems I was wrong, this person really can't make decisions. Waiting for them to send a new person to negotiate, I quietly ran over to Li Huanhuan and said: "Be careful, keep a distance from the edge of the rooftop, as long as you can see the situation below, that's enough."

  Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "You be careful too, don't get cheated by them. During the negotiation, try to drag out the time as much as possible, I think the police will find a way to come and rescue us."

  I nodded and returned to where I was just now, and saw a person standing in the yard, looking around.

  "I said loudly: 'Are you their leader?'"

  This person lifted his head and smiled at me slightly, before he even spoke, I had already exclaimed: "Are you Bai Xin, Bai Feng's mother?" This person looked too much like Bai Feng, only a bit older.

  The newcomer was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "It seems you really are Jin Cang. We've been looking for you. Tell me, where have you hidden my daughter? And what about Bai Hu - is he being held in prison by your people?"

  I also laughed: "Bai Xin, don't ask me anymore, I don't know. Even if I knew, I couldn't say it, that's the rule."

  Bai Xin gritted her teeth and suddenly looked at me, saying: "My daughter is very beautiful, isn't she?" She paused, and when I had a puzzled expression, she said again: "I'm referring to Hui'er. Do you think what I said is right or not?"

  I feel angry and don't know what's going on, so I said angrily: "What does it have to do with you whether Hui Jie is beautiful or not? You're not her birth mother, are you trying to set her up with a boyfriend?"

  Bai Xin heard what I said and suddenly became angry: "You're good, Jin Cang! Don't let me catch you, or else you'll be in for it..."

  I laughed: "Bai Xin, no matter if you are Zhou Hui's biological mother or not, judging from your current appearance, I won't believe a word you say."
