Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 775 - 780: Thrilling Gunfight_1

PHEW, PHEW...

BANG, BANG, BANG... CRASH! TINKLE, TINKLE...

The sound of bullets whizzed past. Shattered glass rained down on Lin Feng and Ye Lin’s backs. Occasionally, a bullet would strike the metal car door, sending a shower of sparks into the air. Ye Lin finally realized what was happening: someone was raking her car with a silenced submachine gun.

What on earth is happening? Why would someone want to kill me? Despite Ye Lin’s usual composure, she was an ordinary person with no experience in gunfights. Faced with a hail of bullets from a submachine gun, all she could do was duck her head and tremble, utterly incapable of any effective evasive action.

Lin Feng’s mind, however, remained perfectly clear. He shoved Ye Lin down, helping her evade the gunman’s initial burst of fire. The moment the gunfire paused, he kicked open the passenger door, dragged Ye Lin out, and rolled with her across the ground several times. Using the car for cover, he pulled her behind a large pillar.

Reality isn’t like the movies. A car’s thin metal body offers no real protection against bullets. I’m not staying in the car to be turned into a sieve.

Indeed, just as Lin Feng leaped from the car, the mysterious gunman adjusted his aim and fired another dozen rounds, riddling Ye Lin’s car with holes. The bullets tore through both car doors and still had enough force to shred the vehicle parked behind it.

Then, the car carrying the gunman sped off. Its tires screeched loudly as it quickly vanished into the depths of the underground parking lot.

Fearing another ambush, Lin Feng kept Ye Lin close, and they remained hidden and motionless for a considerable time before he cautiously emerged from behind the pillar.

"Lin Feng, what in the world is going on? Why the gunfire? How could they be so audacious, daring to commit murder right here in the Bureau’s underground parking lot?" Ye Lin gasped for breath, panic etched on her face as she demanded answers. The situation was beyond anything she could have imagined; she couldn’t believe anyone would dare such a violent act in this place. If the Public Security Bureau’s parking lot isn’t safe, then where in Jiangzhou City is safe?!

"Calm down. We’re okay," Lin Feng said, shaking his head. He struggled to guess who might be behind this. However, anyone daring to use a submachine gun in China was unlikely to be insignificant.

Lin Feng said to Ye Lin in a low voice, "Quick, call your colleagues and report what happened. Let’s go check the security booth." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

There was a security booth near the entrance of the underground parking lot. Lin Feng recalled not seeing any guards when Ye Lin drove in, nor when the assailants’ car fled. He wondered if something had happened there.

Only then, belatedly, did Ye Lin take out her phone to inform her colleagues at the Bureau about the shooting. She then followed Lin Feng to the security booth, where they found the guard unconscious, apparently stuffed under a desk.

Lin Feng checked the guard’s breathing. Finding it steady, he nodded. "He’s alive and should be fine. We’ll send him to the hospital later. Have a colleague accompany him to get his statement."

Ye Lin had calmed down considerably by now. Hearing Lin Feng instruct her as if she were his subordinate, she rolled her eyes in irritation and retorted, "Are you the police officer, or am I? Do I need you to tell me how to do my job?"

Lin Feng was in no mood to bicker with Ye Lin. He shook his head and turned the unconscious guard over. Discovering a small, faint red mark on the guard’s neck, his expression turned grave.

To knock someone out, an ordinary person would likely strike their head with a hard object. Moreover, most people can’t control their strength well enough to render someone unconscious without causing serious injury or death. Only an expert with a deep understanding of human anatomy and exceptional control over their body would target the neck to incapacitate someone non-lethally...

Looking at the tiny mark on the guard’s neck, Lin Feng deduced, The driver who attacked him must also be a martial arts expert, perhaps even an Inner Strength practitioner of the Nei Family...

Such skilled and audacious individuals are rare in all of Jiangzhou. Besides the Qingzi Sect and the Hong Sect, perhaps only foreign professional Killer Organizations would employ people like this...

When the officers of the Nanjiang Bureau received the startling news of a vicious shooting in their own parking lot, they all armed themselves immediately. They rushed downstairs, and dozens of Detectives quickly secured and surrounded the entire parking lot.

"Captain Ye, what in God’s name happened here? How could anyone dare commit such a heinous act in the Bureau’s own parking lot?!" A short, portly, balding middle-aged man strode up to Ye Lin, demanding harshly, "What kind of job are you doing? After something like this, how can our Bureau show its face?!"

"Director Wang, this is my responsibility..." Ye Lin bit her lip, admitting fault in a somber tone to the portly, middle-aged leader. "Our security was lacking, and that’s what led to this incident. I will investigate this case as swiftly as possible and give a full account to everyone at the Bureau!"

The portly, middle-aged man was none other than Wang Zhongzhi, Director of the Nanjiang Bureau. Having just witnessed the chaotic scene in the parking lot, he had initially unleashed his anger on Ye Lin. After composing himself, he said coolly, "Forget it. I know this isn’t entirely your fault. While the gunman might have been targeting you specifically, you likely angered such a depraved criminal in the line of duty. Therefore, for your own protection, you should stay away from the Bureau for the time being. Take some leave."

Wang Zhongzhi assumed that since Ye Lin’s car was targeted, she must have been the sole objective. He failed to notice Lin Feng standing beside her. Most of the other Nanjiang Bureau officers were also preoccupied, their attention drawn to the bullet-riddled cars. Consequently, no one paid Lin Feng much mind.

"Director Wang, how can I possibly take leave at a time like this?!" Ye Lin disagreed with Wang Zhongzhi’s decision. She looked up at him, her expression resolute, and said gravely, "No matter who these people are, the fact that they dared to do this to me proves they have no regard for the law! Faced with such depraved criminals, how can I retreat and allow them to remain at large, flouting justice?!"

"Ye Lin, don’t blame me for being blunt," Wang Zhongzhi said, glancing at her coolly. "Do you honestly believe the Nanjiang Bureau can’t catch this criminal without you? You’re overestimating your importance! Besides, don’t you realize your presence would only complicate the Bureau’s operations?"
