Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing that succession of gunshots, even a fool would know something was wrong, that they had encountered a hostile attack.

Therefore, without needing Qiu Tu's instructions, Chen Feng rushed forward in a few strides, grabbed Old Master Qin's arms, and twisted him back onto the table, demanding loudly, "You actually dare to arrange an attack on the Political Department?"

Old Master Qin also felt incredibly wronged at this moment. Although he had committed countless misdeeds, this wasn't his doing!

So, with a bewildered look, he shook his head, "I don't know. This isn't arranged by me."

Qiu Tu's face was as cold as water as he looked into Old Master Qin's eyes, briefly discerning that he probably wasn't lying.

Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't panic due to the hostile attack, but instead calmly issued orders, "Chen Feng, handcuff Old Master Qin to the staircase."

The staircase in this small villa had metal handrails that couldn't be moved. Once handcuffed, there was no escape.

Chen Feng hastily complied, escorted Old Master Qin to the stairs, and handcuffed him.

Seeing that Old Master Qin was secured, Qiu Tu called out to the outside, "Big Biao!"

The living room door was pushed open from the outside, and Cao Dabiao walked in with a serious face, pistol in hand, "Chief!"

Qiu Tu ordered, "You and Chen Feng stay here."

"Keep a close watch on Old Master Qin, don't let anyone take him away amidst the chaos."

After speaking, he pulled out his own service pistol, motioned towards Liu Fuping, and Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan by the door, "Let's go see who dares to cause trouble outside!"

When faced with a sudden attack, the composure of the team leader could easily stabilize the moods of the subordinates.

Therefore, seeing how composed Qiu Tu was, everyone else, who had been nervous just moments ago, calmed down as well.

They drew their pistols and followed Qiu Tu out with rapid strides.

And after Chen Feng, Cao Dabiao, and Old Master Qin were left alone in the living room, the atmosphere instantly became much colder.

Cao Dabiao also knew this was a crucial moment, so he put away his usual carefree demeanor and took a defensive position on the other side of the living room with his gun, forming a triangular position with Chen Feng, who was guarding Old Master Qin.

——On a battlefield where enemies might appear at any moment, guards should be spread out to avoid being wiped out all at once.

And Cao Dabiao's behavior indeed posed some difficulty for the shadowy figure who had just sneaked into the living room.

He glanced at Cao Dabiao hiding behind a cabinet, then at Chen Feng guarding Old Master Qin, raising and lowering the rifle in his hand.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Possibly lacking full confidence in rescuing Old Master Qin unharmed, he thought for a moment and then hid upstairs, taking out a small silver metallic box from his pocket.

The surface of the little box was carved with various eerie and bizarre patterns, inside it was lying a plump white caterpillar.

Opening the box, the shadow gently pinched the white caterpillar.

The caterpillar, as if in pain, spat out a transparent, delicate thread.

The shadow continued pinching, and the caterpillar kept releasing more thread.

Soon, there was a small pile of transparent threads in the box.

The shadow picked up the end of the thread and tossed it into the void toward the floor below. The thread, as if existing in another reality, silently penetrated the floorboards, walls, and countless spaces, striking directly into Old Master Qin's heart...

In that instant, Old Master Qin's body visibly jerked. Seeming to know what it was, his expression shifted subtly and he directly inquired in his heart, "Lone Wolf? You're here?"

Upstairs, the Lone Wolf tied the other end of the thread to his finger and also responded in his heart, "Old Qin, it's me."

"Qiu Tu has been staying in the Investigation Bureau this whole time, and I never had the chance to make a move."

"So as soon as he left the Bureau today, I followed closely, only to end up here at your place."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin asked deeply, "Did you bring those people outside?"

Lone Wolf replied succinctly, "No."

"Knowing that you were under Qiu Tu's control, I didn't want to spook anyone, just sneaked quietly into the villa without calling for backup yet."

Pausing for a moment, he then asked, "I see that there are only two of them guarding you. If you cooperate with me and find a way to dodge at the right moment, I should be able to get you out safely."

Hearing Lone Wolf's words, Old Master Qin immediately rejected the suggestion, "Don't rescue me!"

"Kill Qiu Tu first!"

"Take him out! Then kill that female agent in the living room and this agent beside me!"

"They are the ones who know my identity."

"If we don't deal with them, even if you rescue me, it will be difficult for us to escape Xinjie City!"

"Moreover, after killing Qiu Tu, it should be easier to save me."

Hearing Old Master Qin's strategy, Lone Wolf fell silent for a moment, "Attacking Wei to save Zhao is indeed a good idea." Stay updated via empire

"Once I assassinate Qiu Tu, the two agents in the living room may be lured away or thrown into disarray, making them easier to deal with at that point."

After speaking, he said, "Then Old Qin, wait for me, after I kill Qiu Tu, I'll come back to rescue you!"

Having finished the conversation, Lone Wolf tugged gently at the transparent thread.

The thread was pulled out from Old Master Qin's heart.

After a few tugs, he drew the thread back in front of him.

Lone Wolf unwound the thread from his finger, and in the next second, the thread self-ignited without wind, turning into specks of ash.

Seeing this, Lone Wolf carefully closed the silver box and solemnly put it back in his pocket, then confidently made his way toward the villa entrance with a rifle on his back.

With his stealth, Invisibility Class cataclysmic ability, he was the king of assassins walking through the darkness.
