Chapter 305 A Shootout

So, what was it? It was certainly not a person, otherwise, it was impossible that he and Xiaojin had not discovered them. Then it had to be surveillance or some other high-tech product.

Ding Ning silently placed his hand on the wall and extended out his superpower like crazy. He gave no thought to how much was being used up, he had to nip all threats in the bud.

The superpower light mass burned quickly and all the steel and concrete dissolved into data and flashed endlessly through his mind.

He had never tried using his superpower on such a large scale before, after all, he did not want to waste it.

In a few moments, the entire structural blueprint of the villa appeared in his mind.

Found it. Ding Ning’s expression became joyful. Although he had not yet found the source of the surveillance, he had unexpectedly discovered that the safety deposit box was in the wall just two rooms down from him.

This was an inlaid safety deposit box. Ding Ning tried to use his superpower to see what was inside.

But as his superpower sank like mercury into it, Ding Ning’s expression changed.

The safety deposit box was not large. There were only a few USBs, a dozen diamonds, and some property deeds and such inside.

What made his expression change was not the lack of things inside, rather, it was the four bombs inside the safety deposit box.

Four already counting-down time bombs. The red numbers were already flashing. Looking at the time, there were less than twenty minutes until the bombs went off.

What made him most fearful was that when he investigated beneath the safety deposit box, he found that a large number of guns and gunpowder were stored in the villa’s wine cellar. Even the grenades could be counted by the box.

What was this for? Did they want to blow the entire villa sky-high?

“Master, I found a bird that is not a bird.”

Just as Ding Ning’s heart was jumping in shock, Xiaojin’s brainwave came through.

A bird that was not a bird? What was it? Ding Ning quickly switched to Xiaojin’s perspective and looked toward the thing he found.

A small bird-shaped flying machine sat silently on the branch of a large and leafy tree at the edge of the villa. A barely perceptible light would only flash every three seconds.

Ding Ning did not move but shock and fear rose in his heart. No wonder his superpower had not found the source of the surveillance even though he had searched the entire villa, the surveillance had been on a tree.

His instinct had not been wrong. This was a three-dimensional transflective converter. It could record the actions of every person in the villa and send it back to the connected receiver every three seconds, forming a completely unobstructed projection.

This meant that his every move was under someone’s surveillance. How could Ding Ning not be shocked?

“Xiaojin, search within a radius of 10 km, and find out who is watching this place.”

Ding Ning gave an order with his spiritual strength but his mind was spinning quickly. Who had installed the bomb and the converter?

Was it targeted at him? Or was it targeted at Gu Fangran’s subordinates?

But regardless of who was the target, the person who had placed the bomb was merciless. Once the bomb exploded, the gunpowder in the underground cellar would also explode. When that happened, very few people in the villa would be able to survive.

Fine beads of sweat rose on Ding Ning’s head. Although the officers patrolling the villa were Gu Fangran’s subordinates and were probably the ones responsible for smuggling in the gunpowder, they were still vibrant human lives, and should not die so purposelessly in someone’s plot.

Thinking of this, heaviness flashed through Ding Ning’s eyes. He had to stop the bomb from blowing up.

“Master, I’ve found a suspicious target!”

Xiaojin’s brainwave came back and Ding Ning immediately changed his perspective. He immediately saw the ship that was speeding away.

Liu Junwei? Liu Zhongyu? Chen Yuxi? Why were they all together, and with that woman he didn’t know? And it was clear that they all obeyed the silver-masked black-robed man.

Just as Ding Ning was asking himself these questions, the black-robed man suddenly raised his head and looked toward the sky. His red electronic eyes flashed as if sensing Xiaojin’s surveillance.

Ding Ning’s heart jumped. What powerful sensing ability! He quickly instructed Xiaojin to fly higher. Previously, Deng Jiuzhi could send out lightning with his eyes. Who knew what strange power this mysterious black-robed man had?

Once Xiaojin was higher up and turned back to look, Ding Ning abruptly discovered that the black-robed man had oddly disappeared.

“Where is His Honor?”

Liu Junwei immediately asked with confusion when he realized that the black-robed man had disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

“His Honor is a silver-level warrior, how could you understand his powers?”

Liu Zhongyu said with admiration. A fiery heat suddenly burned in Liu Junwei’s heart. If a silver warrior was already so god-like, how powerful were the gold and purple-gold warriors?

One day, I, Liu Junwei will become a purple-gold warrior and become the most powerful type of person in this world.

“Xiaojin, move the converter!”

Ding Ning’s face was clouded. The mysterious black-robed man brought him a strong sense of threat. He decided to end this quickly and immediately resolve the threat of the bomb.

“Yes, master!”

Xiaojin grasped the converter in his hand and flew toward the river to drop it into the water. The projector on the ship flashed and changed, showing the underwater world of the river. Confused expressions appeared on Liu Junwei’s and the others’ faces. They were not sure what to do.

Without the surveillance of the converter, Ding Ning no longer hesitated. He immediately called Xiao Nuo and told her of the emergency situation.

After hearing the news, Xiao Nuo’s expression change dramatically, and immediately reported it to her superiors.

Qi Ruoxian’s face drained of color when he received the news. Without any regard for the time, he immediately had Secretary Xu report directly to Mayor Du.

Mayor Du gave the order to immediately send out bomb-defusing specialists to the location and at the same time, had the surrounding people evacuated.

The national security bureau, the police, the army, and emergency services were all summoned. Large numbers of police cars and emergency vehicles surged toward the northern suburbs.

However, the situation at hand was very urgent. With only a dozen minutes, it was impossible for them to reach the location.

Qi Ruoxian’s expression was ashen. He would only rest his hopes on Ding Ning and Xiao Nuo. He ordered them to think of all possible solutions, for the bombs must not explode.

Xiao Nuo was almost in tears. She had no experience in defusing bombs at all and Ding Ning had also never received such training. How could they defuse the bomb?

Just as she was panicking, Ding Ning’s call came through and he said in a heavy voice. “Nuonuo, there’s no time left. There are only ten minutes left. I’m going to take the safety deposit box away and drop it in the ocean to blow up.”

“Are you crazy? The safety deposit box is inlaid into the wall, how can you get it out?”

Xiao Nuo yelled.

“Don’t worry about it, I have my methods. So many lives, I can’t just let them all die. Don’t forget, I’m also a policeman now.”

Ding Ning did his best to make his voice sound relaxed and joked laughingly.

“You, you have to promise me that you will come back safely.”

Xiao Nuo’s tears were falling like rain and she swallowed hard before speaking.

“I promise you! I will come back alive.”

Ding Ning immediately hung up the phone after speaking. He had no time to waste.

Before the bombs went off, he had to take out the evidence inside and take the bomb to the ocean to blow up.

With no further regard for how shocking this would be, Ding Ning landed a hard punch against the wall. With a boom, a large hole appeared in the wall.

“Someone has come in; they’re on the second floor!”

The villa immediately exploded into chaos. Officers, who had no idea they had already patrolled the perimeter of the underworld, yelled loudly and charged toward the second-floor.

Ding Ning had no time to spare a thought of them. With a series of booming punches, half the wall surrounding the safety deposit box crumpled.

A cloud of dust flew up causing Ding Ning to cough repeatedly. He scooped up the safety deposit box and ran outside.

“Stop him!”

“He stole the safety deposit box.”

“Kill him!”

...

A group of officers rushed and charged toward Ding Ning menacingly.

“Godd*mn, move out of the way. There’s a bomb inside.”

Ding Ning roared as he charged out with a death-grip on the safety deposit box.

“A bomb? What bullsh*t. You dare to steal things from under our very eyes? Kill him!”

The officers waved their tasers and charged toward Ding Ning.

Ding Ning burned with urgency and had no time to show mercy. Holding the safety deposit box, he leaned into the air. His legs left shadows in the air and the officers fell over in waves, yelling tragically.

“God-d*mn it; shoot him!”

A head officer, shocked and scared, yelled and pulled out a gun and fired toward Ding Ning.

“Do you want to die?”

A burst of red bloomed on Ding Ning’s shoulder and he immediately saw red.

As if possessed, Ding Ning kicked the head officer and sent him flying. Blood and innards flew out of his mouth, and it did not seem he would survive.

“Shoot him!”

Unexpectedly, Ding Ning’s vicious kick did not scare of these fugitives, and instead, it excited their rage.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A dozen officers pulled out guns and fired wildly at Ding Ning.

Ding Ning’s vision shattered and, with a roar, he leaped toward the window. With a bang, the window and the security screen behind it were both smashed to pieces.

“He’s down below. He’s not dead yet; shoot him!”

The officers only stopped for a moment before running to the window and firing wildly at Ding Ning, who had just landed on the ground.

“Crap, there’s fighting inside. What do we do?”

Hearing gunfire, Xiao Nuo’s entire person felt unwell. Taking out the gun at her waist, she prepared to charge in.

“Captain Xiao, you can’t go in. There are hundreds of people there and they all have guns. Are you not just going to your death?”

Yu Qian quickly held onto her and tried to persuade her not to go in.

“Then what should we do? I can’t just sit out here doing nothing while Ding Ning is inside fighting for his life.”

Xiao Nuo’s eyes were red and she shouted, without self-control.

“Captain Xiao, calm own. Ding... Officer Ding is very powerful, nothing will happen to him. If you go in, you’ll just be giving him more trouble.”

Yu Qian was shocked and said without much confidence.

“No, no, I can’t just do nothing. I have to do something.”

Although Xiao Nuo had calmed down, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Picking up the phone, she called Qi Ruoxian and yelled, “I don’t care how you do it, but within two minutes, I want to see a fully equipped squad of police heading this way. Otherwise, you should prepare to collect our bodies.”

“Calm down, what’s the situation right now?” Qi Ruoxian was also very upset. Listening to her voice, it seemed that Xiao Nuo was truly anxious.

“Ding Ning, Ding Ning is going to take the bomb to the see to detonate.. and now... the b*stards have found him. One hundred people are firing at him...”

Xiao Nuo’s nose itched and her eyes grew red. Unable to control herself anymore, she burst into tears.

“What? What lawlessness? How dare they carry weapons openly in Ninghai? What law and order are there left? Hold on, the SWAT Team is heading over, and they’ll arrive soon.”

Qi Ruoxian’s body trembled with anger and his face was ashen. At last, he provided Xiao Nuo with some reassurance.

“Have them hurry!”

Xiao Nuo heard the gunshots grow more urgent. Unable to care about anything else, she hung up and charged toward the villa.

With a boom, the doors to the villa exploded open. A blood-covered figure holding a safety deposit box charged out.

“Ding Ning!”

Xiao Nuo’s mouth twisted and her tears poured down as she gave a grieved shout.

“I’m alright. There’s no time left, so I can only detonate it in the river nearby. Go hide first; there’s a group of desperate guards inside.”

Ding Ning had no time to comfort her. He tossed down these words and ran desperately toward the river.
