Chapter 157: Ambushed Again

On the street to the left of Dragon Bridge, Wei Xiangzuo looked at his watch and, feeling the time was about right, looked up and instructed: "You all wait in the car, I'll go down and look."

Everyone nodded. Wei Xiangzuo pushed open the door and got out, while Little Feng instinctively drew his gun from his waist and turned to scan the surroundings.

By then, the downpour outside had turned into a drizzle. Wei Xiangzuo walked alone toward the main street by Dragon Bridge.

The street was cold and dimly lit. Wei Xiangzuo had walked along the roadside for about a hundred meters when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

Wei Xiangzuo stopped, reached for his phone, opened the text message and read its contents.

"Don't go to Dragon Bridge, Xu Hu's people have gone to ambush you!"

Under the streetlight, Wei Xiangzuo looked down at the message content, his hair standing on end as he suddenly turned to look at the alley entrance.

How had his position leaked again?!

Was there a ghost in his car? This was Wei Xiangzuo's first thought, but his thinking was also contradictory. If there really was a ghost, why had the first round counter-trap at Bei'an Street succeeded? The same people had been in his car then too.

After pausing briefly, Wei Xiangzuo immediately ran toward the alley while dialing the number of the person he was supposed to meet.

"Beep beep...!"

A busy signal rang out - the call didn't connect.

Wei Xiangzuo tried two more times but the calls didn't go through. The other party's phone seemed to have no signal or was in airplane mode.

"Damn it!"

Wei Xiangzuo cursed and rushed to the alley entrance, waving and shouting: "Start the car, come over!"

In the car, driver Little Xuan heard the shout and immediately shifted into drive, preparing to rush out to support Wei Xiangzuo.

At that moment, two SUVs suddenly emerged from the main street by Dragon Bridge, speeding toward the alley.

Wei Xiangzuo turned back to look at the road and saw three people in each SUV lowering their windows and leaning out their upper bodies, raising handguns and folding submachine guns.

Wei Xiangzuo reacted extremely quickly, immediately stepping into the alley. Just as he entered, intense gunfire rang out behind him.

Bullets swept across as brick and concrete fragments flew from the alley entrance walls. Wei Xiangzuo ran back while shouting: "Reverse, back up!"

Little Xuan, who had just started driving forward, immediately shifted into reverse upon hearing the shout.

"Bang, bang...!"

Just then, gunfire also rang out from the alley's rear exit as three men carrying shotguns and handguns rushed forward.

This time, Xu Hu's side didn't bring many people, but their weapons had increased by more than one level - every lackey was armed with guns.

It should be noted that after the Nick case and Gu Tongshan case, the Police Bureau had completely lost patience. Because more gun cases had occurred recently than in the past five years combined, with many deaths, the higher-ups had long secretly established special task forces to investigate the dock workers association and the Yu family team.

At this stage, although the Police Bureau hadn't yet sorted out the case progression or obtained solid evidence, the climate had become very strict. So whoever dared to commit crimes against this trend and disrespect those above would eventually face consequences - it was just a matter of time.

But even so, Xu Hu still prepared to defy the trend and forcefully kill Wei Xiangzuo.

In the alley, Little Xuan had barely reversed the car twenty meters when both rear tires were shot out.

"Can't drive anymore, get out!" Little Xuan shouted while grabbing his gun.

After the Bei'an Street battle, Wei Xiangzuo's people were like startled birds - they also carried guns when going out, just in case.

Hearing the shout, everyone immediately pushed open their doors and jumped out. Wei Xiangzuo ran to the front of the van and looked back to see the two SUVs from the main street had blocked the alley entrance.

Little Feng stepped forward and shouted: "Big Brother, jump the wall and leave first!"

At these words, Cheng Gang, Little Xuan and others also rushed to both sides of the van, shooting outward to cover Wei Xiangzuo's retreat.

Wei Xiangzuo also knew clearly they were coming for him, so he didn't waste time - he stepped back twice, took a running start, and charged toward the left wall of the alley.

The buildings along Dragon River were either crowded residential complexes or various small factories. Plus being close to the docks meant poor security, so the alley walls were very high, about two and a half meters, some even topped with iron netting.

Wei Xiangzuo's physical abilities were undoubted. With a running start he reached the wall, his right foot kicked up against it, and both hands grabbed the edge.

After a day and night of heavy rain, the wall was very slippery. As Wei Xiangzuo climbed up, his foot slipped and his body dropped back down slightly.

In this crucial moment, Little Xuan retreated from the front and actively bent down, using his shoulder to support Wei Xiangzuo's right foot: "Big Brother, run quickly!"

Wei Xiangzuo used the boost to jump straight onto the wall top, lying horizontally on the edge and reaching down shouting: "Grab me, come up!"

That moment when Little Xuan helped boost Wei Xiangzuo exposed him at the base of the wall with no cover nearby, so the enemy immediately targeted him.

"Rat-tat-tat...!"

Crisp gunfire rang out as the submachine gun swept across the wall. Just as Little Xuan's hand grabbed Wei Xiangzuo's wrist, two sprays of blood burst from his back.

"Come up!"

Seeing Little Xuan wounded, Wei Xiangzuo pulled with all his strength. The latter gritted his teeth and kicked hard against the wall, also making it to the top.

"Little Feng, come back, let's go... stop shooting," a burly man pulled Little Feng, who was providing cover from the front, back to the van's side.

"Up the wall, quick, up the wall!" the burly man shouted at Little Feng.

At these words, the others also frantically climbed the walls, pulling each other up as they fled to both sides.

"Don't wait, Big Brother, go first, quick, or we'll all be buried here," Little Feng climbed onto the opposite wall, shooting to cover his brothers while shouting wildly.

"Let's go together!" Wei Xiangzuo also shot from the wall top.

Severely wounded Little Xuan, seeing Wei Xiangzuo wouldn't leave, immediately pushed his body: "Go, Big Brother!"

Wei Xiangzuo was pushed and fell to the other side of the wall top, followed by Little Xuan jumping down with blood gushing from his nose shouting: "Run quick, run quick!"

Wei Xiangzuo supported him as they ran toward the small factory compound, while Little Feng, Cheng Gang and the others on the other side also scattered and fled from the wall tops.

In the alley, the burly man who had covered Little Feng and Wei Xiangzuo finally died after taking six shots.

After escaping from the small factory, Wei Xiangzuo didn't dare flee toward the street side. Without even thinking, he jumped into Dragon River with Little Xuan and disappeared.

......

In the villa in Longkou District.

Xu Hu sat on the sofa, anxiously waiting.

About five minutes later, a man walked in and whispered in Xu Hu's ear: "Wei Xiangzuo was alerted early again and escaped."

Hearing this, Xu Hu's eyes turned red as he suddenly stood up and kicked away a nearby chair, putting his hands on his hips as he looked at everyone in the room.

Li Hongze was there, Gu Tongshan's wife and children were there, the Longkou District hall master and several core leaders were there, and finally... those council of elders who had taken money were also there!

Xu Hu scanned everyone and shouted through gritted teeth: "In this room we can't even tell who's friend and who's gathering intelligence anymore, is that it?!"
