Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 497 In the end, he still softened his heart.

Although he deeply despised their actions, Yu Dazhang ultimately did not dare to fire a shot.

He dared not gamble with Ying Xuelian's life.

After all, she was working for the National Security Bureau, and one shouldn't discard someone after they've served their purpose.

Just as he hesitated, the man at the front had already reached him and swung a kukri straight at him.

Yu Dazhang gripped the dagger properly, and as he dodged, the tip of the blade slashed diagonally, accurately slicing across the opponent's wrist.

With his tendons severed, the man dropped the kukri from his hand.

Before he could react, Yu Dazhang stabbed him through the neck with a dagger.

The man behind him was terrified when he saw his companion being killed as soon as he went up, but he only hesitated for a moment before attacking again.

He was clearly more afraid of the two people behind him.

Unlike the others, he valued his life even more.

When he was about a meter away from Yu Dazhang, he suddenly stopped and then wildly swung the dagger in his hand.

His action caught Yu Dazhang off guard, and he instinctively took a step back.

Sensing that it was working, he increased the speed of his sword swings and continued to close in.

During this process, Yu Dazhang caught a glimpse of the two agents also escorting Ying Xuelian toward them.

"Having hostages is such a hassle..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

He then seized the opportunity, suddenly stepped forward, parried the opponent's knife with his dagger, and then plunged the dagger into the opponent's chest.

After being stabbed twice more, the man finally spurted out blood and slowly fell backward.

"What a skill!"

This time it was the woman who spoke. She stared at Yu Dazhang with curiosity, as if he were her prey, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement and greed.
"You're probably not from Beijing Guoan. As far as I know, Guoan is very strict in selecting players, and your weight is the first thing that's required."

As she spoke, the man held a knife to Ying Xuelian's neck and forced her to move forward slowly.

Seeing that Da Zhang was standing still, he threatened:
"Back off. If you don't want her to die, retreat outside the door."

If they retreated outside the door, they would lose their advantage... Naturally, Yu Dazhang didn't want to listen to the other party.

At the same time, he was also observing the two men's movements. If he saw them reach for their guns, he would not hesitate to raise his gun and shoot.

The two men seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Neither of them drew their guns; they simply led Ying Xuelian away little by little.

As the two sides drew closer, Yu Dazhang began to mentally calculate the success rate of the surprise attack.

But when he saw the tip of the knife pressed against Ying Xuelian's carotid artery, he knew that his plan was doomed to fail.

"Back off!"

The man suddenly raised his voice, and at the same time, the sharp knife in his hand moved forward, slicing Ying Xuelian's skin.

"Okay, I'll back out."

Seeing blood flowing from Ying Xuelian's neck, Yu Dazhang dared not delay any longer and had no choice but to retreat.

To everyone's surprise, Ying Xuelian suddenly shouted:

"Don't worry about me, arrest them! Da Zhang, arrest them! Don't let them get away!"

At the same time, she struggled desperately and tried to break free of the dagger pressed against her neck.

The man reacted extremely quickly, swiftly pulling the dagger back.

"You better behave yourself."

The woman behind her sternly rebuked her and placed her hand on Ying Xuelian's shoulder.

Strangely, without her exerting any force, Ying Xuelian froze instantly as if she had been electrocuted.

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes.

He could see it clearly: the woman seemed to be using no force, but she was actually gripping Ying Xuelian's collarbone with her index and middle fingers.

The woman was able to subdue a grown man with just two fingers, which shows her skill.

"Don't hurt her."

As Yu Dazhang spoke, he waved the pistol in front of them, and then put it back in its holster right in front of them.

His action, seemingly intended to lower the other party's guard, was actually preparation for his next move. With Ying Xuelian blocking his view, the pistol was now useless; holding it would only be a burden.

Rather than having one hand occupied, it's better to put it back in the holster.

The two people opposite didn't seem to care. They seemed very confident in their skills and never suggested that Yu Dazhang drop his gun.

Even now, when Yu Dazhang is holding the knife with one hand, they only glance at it casually.

It was as if the knife posed no threat to them whatsoever.

"This is a true master..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself, secretly on guard.

Those thugs who shouted for the other side to put down their guns were actually full of openings.

What I fear most is this situation right now.

They seemed indifferent, yet their defense was flawless, leaving no opening for them to break through. Even if they had a gun, it would be completely useless.

This is the source of confidence and self-assurance.

It is confidence honed through countless real-world battles.

The military skills and combat capabilities of this man and woman were clearly several levels higher than those of the others.

Or rather, the two are simply not on the same level.

"This is bad..." Yu Dazhang thought anxiously.

At this point, he had already exited through the back door. If the other side also exited through the back door, his advantage would be completely lost.

At that point, the opponent will no longer be restricted by space and can attack from both sides.

It's impossible to run.

Since both of the opposing agents are top-notch operatives, they would not expose their backs to the enemy; this is the most basic mistake in actual combat.

Therefore, they will not leave until Yu Dazhang is dealt with.

The only way to break this deadlock is to disregard Ying Xuelian's life and death and draw your gun.

That would be satisfying, but it also goes against Yu Dazhang's principles of conduct.

Police officers cannot resort to any means necessary when investigating cases.

Just as the two men opposite them were escorting Ying Xuelian to the door, the woman on the left suddenly rushed up from behind.

She was like a female leopard, agile and nimble, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Yu Dazhang.

She crossed her legs, raised her right foot, and delivered a groin kick to Yu Dazhang's crotch.

"Your mother..."

Yu Dazhang almost swore as he reached out to block.

If that kick lands squarely, I'll have to call him Eunuch Yu from now on.

That's such a dirty trick!

Just as he was about to retaliate, he saw that the woman had a small, triangular military dagger in her hand, the tip of which gleamed coldly under the streetlight.

Even their weapons are more vicious than others'... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Just as the bayonet was about to reach his chest, he swiftly deflected it with his dagger.

At the same time, he quickly grabbed the woman's arm with his other hand.

Yu Dazhang had absolute confidence in his reaction speed, but he still failed this time.

The woman deftly dodged him and quickly took two steps back to create distance between them.

Yu Dazhang could sense that the opponent's reaction wasn't particularly fast, but rather entirely based on fighting instinct.

Her dodge just now was an instinctive reaction.

The woman's face also showed surprise, as if she hadn't expected her surprise attack to be so easily thwarted.

At the very moment they were facing off.

The man suddenly rushed over from the other side, his sharp knife aimed straight at Da Zhang's throat.
