The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

"You should have cooperated with us from the beginning. Now you're being hunted down by Zhu Tao's men and you're only just realizing how scared you are."

As he went upstairs, Chen Jiaju was in a good mood. The evidence against Zhu Tao had finally broken through with Shalina, and he was already imagining the scene of being praised by the chief.

"I never imagined he was this kind of person, actually sending someone to kill me."

Serena looked dejected. She took a set of keys from her handbag and was about to open the door when Lu Ming suddenly pressed her hand down. "Wait."

Serena looked at her hand being held down by Lu Ming, a hint of heat rising on her beautiful face. She carefully pulled her hand away and stole a glance at Lu Ming, finding him unexpectedly handsome.

She had a prejudice against Lu Ming because of what happened when she was chasing Zhu Tao, which made her have a very bad impression of him. She never really looked at Lu Ming's appearance properly. Now that her mindset has changed, she has put aside her prejudice and is getting to know Lu Ming again.

Chen Jiaju frowned. "Ah Ming, is there a problem?"

"Salena, do you usually live here alone?"

Lu Ming asked a question that Serena didn't expect.

Serena looked somewhat bewildered. "Of course I live alone."

"This is problematic," Lu Ming said slowly. "There are people in the room." His hearing had become extremely sharp thanks to his Sequence 9 Hunter enhancement, and he could hear three heavy breathing sounds coming from inside the room through the door.

Did Zhu Tao send another assassin to ambush Salina in her room?

He felt a chill run down his spine. This Zhu Tao was too cunning. He sent a group of thugs to deliver food to lull people into a false sense of security, and then ambushed them with assassins in the room to catch them off guard.

anyone?

Chen Jiaju reacted quickly, drawing his .38 revolver from his waist and aiming it at the door with a wary expression.

"Salena, give me the key, and stand behind me."

Lu Ming took the key from Serena's hand, then pushed the somewhat nervous Serena behind him. He signaled to Chen Jiaju not to stand at the door, to prevent the assassin inside from firing at the door immediately.

Click!

He pulled out his pistol, hid it in the wall next to the door, then reached in and inserted the key into the lock, opened the door and pushed it inside, but did not rush straight in.

Skill--

Hawkeye!

The space was connected, as if an eagle had darted into the room. In an instant, all the circumstances in the dimly lit room came into Lu Ming's view, and the surrounding area was also brought into his sight.

The originally dim environment became as bright as day under "Eagle Eye's" gaze, allowing him to see everything clearly.

The room was in a mess; drawers were open, the sofa was slashed, and the bed was overturned, clearly indicating that someone had conducted a thorough search of Serena's room.

Now, the room is fraught with danger. Behind the wall on the living room balcony stands an assassin wielding a Black Star pistol, a gunman crouches under the kitchen cabinets, and another gunman is behind the bedroom door.

besides……

"careful."

Lu Ming suddenly pulled Serena, and the two switched positions. Without saying a word, Lu Ming raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

boom!boom!

As two gunshots rang out, the gunman who had just rushed out from the corner at the end of the corridor to fire a shot collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to understand how he had been exposed.

Serena was terrified and clung tightly to Lu Ming.

Meanwhile, the gunmen inside the room heard gunshots in the corridor and realized that no one had come in even though the door had been open for a while. They immediately knew they had been exposed, rushed out from their hiding spots, and fired their guns at the door.

"Ka-Kui, there are three gunmen inside. I'll draw their fire from here, and you go around to the back from the balcony."

Lu Ming threw out the ammunition magazine, quickly ejected and reloaded the ammunition, and at the same time decisively deployed a simple tactic.

"I'm coming right away. Be careful."

Chen Jiaju was a man of action. He pulled out his police ID, kicked open the door of his neighbor's house, and rushed to the balcony, intending to climb over and flank the neighbor from both sides.

Lu Ming saw that Chen Jiaju had rushed into the next room, and only then did he realize that his clothes were being held tightly by Shalena, whose body was pressed tightly against him.

He whispered, "Salena, hide next door and come out after we've dealt with the gunman."

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying here."

Serena looked flustered and whispered, "Your chief told you to protect me closely, so you have to take responsibility." She dared not go anywhere now, fearing that other gunmen might be hiding in the shadows. Only by staying behind Lu Ming did she feel a little safe.

"..."

Lu Ming felt a soft mass behind him, shook his head, and gave up trying to persuade him. He leaned against the wall, held the gun in one hand, aimed at the gunman in the room through "Eagle Eye," and stuck the .38 pistol out the door.

Skill--

Aimbot!

Two more shots rang out, and one of the gunmen was immediately shot, falling down with a scream.

The remaining two gunmen were startled and quickly sought cover. One crouched behind the liquor cabinet, and the other leaned against the living room wall. They imitated Lu Ming, sticking out only their pistols to fire for faith. They soon emptied their magazines and had to change them.

"Salena, you stay here and wait for me."

Lu Ming "saw" this scene and, taking advantage of the opening, rolled over and rolled inside, firing two shots at the gunman who was reloading behind the living room wall.

He then pushed off with his feet, leaping into the liquor cabinet. The powerful impact knocked the cabinet down, pinning the gunman, who had just changed his magazine and was trying to get up to fire, underneath.

Lu Ming raised his gun, reached under the liquor cabinet, and fired two shots.

The struggling gunman twitched twice and then stopped moving.

As the gunman died, under the effect of the skill "Hunting," a warm sensation rose from Lu Ming's body, his spiritual energy fluctuated, and his physical attributes improved once again.

Although the improvement is not significant, every little bit helps. If we persevere, he will eventually become a superman like Captain America.

"Don't move, police!"

At this moment, Chen Jiaju finally came around from the balcony, jumped out holding a .38 rifle and shouted a warning. The next moment, he was dumbfounded. In the messy living room, only Lu Ming was left alive.

"Ah Ming, you killed them all?"

He glanced warily across the living room, looking for any hidden gunmen.

"The gunmen have all been dealt with."

Lu Ming saw everything clearly with his "Eagle Eye"; there were no gunmen left in the room. He called out to the door, "Salena, come in. It's safe here now."

Serena walked shakily into the house, her legs trembling as she looked at the bloody scene before her.

"Ms. Serena, you are in a very dangerous situation. The Zhu Tao Group will not let you live to appear in court as a prosecution witness tomorrow. If you want to live, you must cooperate with the police and hand over the evidence of Zhu Tao's crimes."

Chen Jiaju put away his pistol and gave a serious warning.

Zhu Tao has already sent a gunman to kill Salina. If the gunman cannot return and report in time, the people in Zhu Tao's group will know that the assassination has failed.

Given their ruthless nature, they will inevitably send a second wave of gunmen to kill and silence witnesses.

Therefore, Serena is now in a very dangerous situation.

"I have a work log that records some of the things Zhu Tao did, including drug trafficking and other illegal and criminal activities."

This time, Serena dared not take any chances. She rushed into the bedroom and pulled out a black leather notebook from behind the vanity mirror.

Chen Jiaju took the notebook and glanced through it. His face lit up with joy. The notebook contained detailed records of Zhu Tao's crimes. Although it still lacked solid evidence, it was enough to make Zhu Tao look bad.

Lu Ming picked up a Black Star pistol from one of the gunmen and collected all the magazines from all of them. Seeing that Serena only had a work logbook in her hand, he had an idea and asked, "Serena, besides this, do you have any other evidence related to Zhu Tao's crimes?"

"It's difficult to definitively categorize Zhu Tao based on a single work log."

Serena hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhu Tao's computer in his office contains all the evidence of his crimes. I have the password to Zhu Tao's computer. If you want to get this evidence, I can take you to retrieve it."

Chen Jiaju perked up and exclaimed with delight, "We'll go get it right away!" The court hearing was tomorrow, and it was late at night; there wasn't enough time to apply for a search warrant. In this urgent situation, they had no choice but to go and "get" it themselves.

"Ka-Kui, shouldn't we ask Uncle Biu for instructions?"

"You're right, I'll make the call right away."

Chen Jiaju grabbed the phone at Shalena's house and dialed, "Uncle Biao, Shalena has evidence of Zhu Tao's crimes, but according to her, all of Zhu Tao's criminal evidence is stored on Zhu Tao's computer, and we need to go to Zhu Tao's company to retrieve it."

"...I'll pretend I didn't receive that call. You can do as you please. Also, there will be some guys keeping watch near Zhu Tao's company tonight. If anything happens, we can provide support immediately."

When Uncle Biao heard that Chen Jiaju was going to Zhu Tao's company to "steal" evidence, he immediately coughed, gave a brief explanation, and hung up the phone.

"Uncle Biao agrees to our actions."

"Okay, let's go together."
