A bullet was extracted from Deng Ge’s body. He was quite tough, bearing the pain without crying out.
The man who plucked out the bullet was shocked, and threw the bullet aside, reporting, "Brother Kang, this is bad news, the bullet in Deng Ge’s body is a tracking bullet."
"What?" Brother Kang’s expression changed, his voice elevated in panic. With a sinister look, he approached Deng Ge, berating him, "You useless fool, where did your usual vigilance go? Do you want to kill us all?"
"Brother Kang, I didn’t know." Deng Ge countered, his face filled with despair, "I was very careful on the way here, ensuring no one was following."
"With the tracking bullet inside you, does anyone need to follow?" Brother Kang’s face turned fierce.
The situation was now very passive; Deng Ge had exposed the hideout, posing a huge threat to Brother Kang.
This period’s gains and all the children were in the warehouse. If the police came, it would be disastrous.
Deng Ge never expected such an event, and was suddenly panicked.
"Brother Kang, I was really careful, I didn’t expect this outcome." Deng Ge’s eyes were filled with terror.
He could foresee his fate; having made such a grave mistake, in Brother Kang’s eyes, he was already a dead man.
"Go to hell, when you make a mistake you have to pay the price." Brother Kang’s eyes were cold.
"Brother Kang, please, considering I..." Deng Ge pleaded, but his pleading words were cut short.
Brother Kang casually stabbed a knife into Deng Ge’s chest. Along with a spray of blood, Deng Ge collapsed onto the ground, twitching.
"Brother Kang, what do we do now?" the man next to him asked urgently.
Brother Kang frowned, painfully pondering, and cursed in his heart, "Damn it, if I knew what to do, it would be fine. Now that we’re exposed, it won’t take long for catastrophe to strike. It’s too late to move the children."
"I think it will still take some time for the police to arrive. You take people and lead them away with the tracking bullet." This was the only arrangement Brother Kang could make. Whether they could evade this calamity depended on luck.
"Yes, Brother Kang." The man responded.
At that moment, a man with a gun rushed up, saying, "Brother Kang, we’re surrounded."
"So quickly, how is that possible?" Brother Kang was shocked and turned pale.
"Break through, escape before the police launch an attack. As many as can escape should go, leave those children for now." Brother Kang issued such a command. It seemed wise to use the children as leverage, but now they lost the initiative. Even if the children were used as hostages, it would only be a temporary advantage. Escaping was impossible.
Each of Brother Kang’s men was an expert, and he didn’t want them to be lost here just like that.
Leave the mountain green, fear not the firewood lacking.
There would be endless opportunities to catch children again, making a comeback is easy, but if the people are gone, the loss would be significant.
"Brother Kang, we’ll cover you as we escape together," the armed man said.
"Carry out the order and go quickly, no more talk. I have something to handle, must leave no evidence." Brother Kang gave the indisputable order, and the others gathered, concentrating their fire in one direction and began their assault outwards.
Brother Kang entered a room, quickly lifted the floor, found the secret passage door, and with a complex look in his eyes listened to the gunfire echoing in his ears. He was most unwilling, knowing that none of his men would survive, but he couldn’t leave with them. Their deaths were his only cover now.
The children were found, those rogue kidnappers were shot dead. Thus, the police could close the case.
Next, he would organize another group and continue in the shadows. Although losing these men was significant, compared to long-term plans, the death of some people was to ensure more convenient future operations.
Brother Kang composed himself, felt no reluctance, and bent down to enter the secret passage.
"Tat-tat-tat!" Intense gunfire rang around the warehouse.
Occasionally, it was interspersed with howls of those shot.
"Let’s go," Ye Fan and Zhang Lu exchanged glances, and followed Brother Kang into the secret passage.
Brother Kang moved quickly, without any worry. No one would know about this passage, so he felt very secure, not worrying about being followed at all.
The other end of the secret passage led to a flower bush.
Brother Kang emerged from the bushes, crossed several blocks, and entered a luxurious villa.
Inside the villa was only one woman, codenamed k8, who, like Qin Xue, was a strong subordinate under the Red Skull.
K1 to K12, twelve exceptional women, each famed and feared.
Brother Kang was responsible for those who captured the children, and above him, the only person he had direct contact with was k8.
"Why are you here? I told you unless it’s urgent, don’t appear before me," k8’s expression was cold, looking at Brother Kang with considerable displeasure.
"Something bad happened, something huge, the hideout is ruined," Brother Kang said with lingering fear.
"What happened?" k8’s beautiful eyes shot out with killing intent.
"A wounded subordinate of mine reached the hideout, unexpectedly, he had a tracking bullet inside him." Brother Kang explained briefly.
At this moment, k8’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered.
The caller was Nagatani Meiaki, the only one alive among those who attacked the research institute.
"Hurry and evacuate. The man who spoiled our plans by capturing k12 alive has come for us," Nagatani Meiaki said this single sentence before hanging up, leaving k8 no time to speak.
K8’s expression darkened. She naturally knew that the man referred to Ye Fan. Within the organization, Ye Fan was an extremely dangerous enemy.
Although the exact strength of Ye Fan was unknown to Nagatani Meiaki’s organization, various analyses and evaluations deemed Ye Fan a dangerous enemy.
The interior and exterior of the villa where k8 was located were under constant surveillance, monitoring every corner.
Thus, when Ye Fan and Zhang Lu appeared, Nagatani Meiaki immediately sensed the anomaly.
K8 bore significant responsibility, and Nagatani Meiaki kept a close watch on her every move.
Her expression turned icy, looking at Brother Kang like she was seeing a dead man.
Brother Kang killed Deng Ge, which could serve as a warning to others, but she couldn’t casually kill Brother Kang because he was her direct contact, controlling many members below.
Even though Brother Kang’s mistake was severe, he could be forgiven, and atone for his mistakes in the future.
But now, Brother Kang foolishly led the enemy here, stirring k8’s killing intent.
"You deserve death, bringing the enemy to my doorstep without even realizing it." k8’s beautiful pupils instantly turned exceedingly cold.
