The people of the Shahe Gang were stunned when they heard this.

Yes, who dares to hit a foreigner?

The imperial court will be the first to not let him off!

But what's going on now?

The group of people couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried, until they finally saw a familiar-looking foreigner.

Qiu Ba remembered that this guy seemed to speak Chinese, so he quickly put on a smile and went over to him:

"My lord! My lord! What's all this commotion outside?"

The foreign officer, already annoyed, glared at him and snapped irritably:

"The government troops have stormed in! A bunch of barbarians are asking for death!"

"yamen?"

Qiu Ba's smile froze, and his henchmen behind him were all dumbfounded.

yamen?

That government office that grovels before foreigners and only knows how to extort local bullies?

How dare they attack the foreign concessions?

This is as absurd as hearing that the sun is rising in the west!

"What do we do now, boss?" The underlings' voices trembled.

Qiu Ba swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, and shouted with a fierce but weak voice:

"What's there to be afraid of! Foreigners are very powerful!"

"Their guns and cannons would make even the imperial army fall to their knees!"

"These useless bastards in the government office must have eaten the gall of a bear to come and die! Just wait and see how the foreign lords deal with them!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

A sudden burst of more intense gunfire and shouts of killing approached, accompanied by the sounds of buildings collapsing and flames burning.

Clearly, the fighting is rapidly spreading into the interior of the concession.

"Damn it! They've really broken in!" one of the thugs screamed.

They panicked and tried to run, only to find themselves inside the walls of the foreign concession.

What they once felt was a safe barrier has now become a cage that traps them.

"Run to the dock! Yes, there are boats at the dock!"

A group of people ran wildly toward the dock like headless flies.

When they arrived at the dock area, they found it in chaos, with many foreigners driving groups of people onto several large ships.

Most of those people were dressed in rags and looked terrified.

Their hands and feet were also tied together with ropes.

Many of them were young women, their eyes filled with despair.

If they struggled or slowed down even slightly, the foreign sailors next to them would raise their whips or gun butts and beat them hard.

Cries and shouts filled the air.

The thugs of the Shahe Gang knew that those were pigs who had been tricked or captured by foreigners!

And it wasn't just those piglets; there were also some foreigners moving gold and silver treasures!

What's going on?

Are the foreigners going to run away?

"Quick! You guys! Come and help!"

A foreign officer saw Qiu Ba and his group and immediately shouted:

"Get all this cargo onto the ship! Quickly! The ship's about to leave!"

The thugs of the Shahe Gang were taken aback at first, but then they realized that this was a perfect opportunity to show their loyalty to the foreigners.

And they can escape too!

The group immediately forgot their fear and pounced on them menacingly.

They hit and kicked, even more vigorously than the foreign sailors.

The scene became even more chaotic and tragic as the women who were crying and struggling were driven onto the boat.

Just then.

Huang Feihong led a group of militiamen to the vicinity of the dock.

I saw this!

Foreigners were rampant and plundered, the Shahe Gang acted as their accomplices, and our compatriots were driven away like livestock!

Wong Fei-hung's eyes instantly turned red!

"The Shahe Gang! Foreigners! You deserve to die!"

Huang Feihong let out a roar and, disregarding everything else, charged straight at them!

"It's Wong Fei-hung!"

The Shahe Gang members recognized him and were greatly surprised.

However, they soon discovered that Wong Fei-hung and his men seemed hesitant to fire their guns, fearing they might accidentally injure the innocent civilians who were being held hostage.

"Haha! Wong Fei-hung, aren't you so good at fighting? Come on!"

Qiu Ba hid behind a string of piglets and shouted arrogantly.

At the same time, he pulled out a short gun and pulled the trigger in Huang Feihong's direction!

"Master, be careful!" Lin Shirong shouted urgently.

Huang Feihong had no choice but to dodge behind a pile of wooden crates. Bullets hit the crates, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

He watched helplessly as several more women were roughly pushed onto the springboard, his heart filled with anxiety.

However, the Shahe Gang scum, using hostages, made it difficult for them to get close.

"Don't fire! Be careful not to hurt civilians!" Wong Fei-hung shouted through gritted teeth to the militia members who had followed him.

The militia members were also furious, but they were also hesitant to act.

They could only use the cargo piled up at the dock as cover to confront the Shahe Gang thugs hiding behind the crowd and the foreigners on the opposite boat who had begun to organize shooting.

The situation is very passive.

Seeing this, the Shahe gang became even more rampant, pushing and shoving the piglets while occasionally firing sniper shots.

They cursed and swore under their breath, while the foreign sailors on the ship laughed arrogantly.

"Master Huang! What's the point of talking about morality with foreigners! Those who were arrested will suffer a worse fate than dying here!"

Yan Zhendong also charged over from the other side. Seeing the situation, he frowned and said sternly.

"Hesitation now is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, with endless consequences! When it's time to be ruthless, be ruthless!"

Huang Feihong was well aware that Yan Zhendong was telling the truth.

Those who were kidnapped like pigs suffered a terrible fate!

But... he simply couldn't bring himself to shoot his terrified and helpless compatriots, even if it was just to eliminate the villains behind them.

He forced himself to calm down, his gaze rapidly scanning the chaotic dock.

Try to find a way to break the deadlock!

Just then!

boom!

A gunshot instantly drowned out the surrounding noise.

The bullet pierced precisely through the gaps in the chaotic crowd, striking the foreign first mate who was herding the "piglet".

The first mate's angry outburst came to an abrupt halt, a bloody hole now appearing on his forehead.

He fell backward, head tilted back.

"Who? Who fired the shot?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

In this situation where both sides were concerned about the hostages and it was almost a standoff, how could someone dare to open fire directly?

He even shot and killed one of the foreign leaders!

This person is too reckless!

Everyone!

Foreigners, the Shahe Gang, Huang Feihong, Yan Zhendong, militia members, and even the Fucha Admiral hiding behind a pile of goods, trembling with fear.

Everyone looked in astonishment toward the direction of the gunshot.

A figure slowly walked onto the deck and came into everyone's view.

Chen Wen's expression was calm, as if he had just done something insignificant.

Yan Zhendong's eyes lit up, and he gave a low shout:

"Good! That's how it should be! Being indecisive and wishy-washy will only kill more people!"

Huang Feihong became nervous.

No one expected Chen Wen to act without regard for the safety of the hostages.

But that shouldn't be the case. He knew that Chen Wen's style of doing things seemed impulsive, but he always knew how to keep things in check.

Does he have some kind of plan?

Huang Feihong clenched his fists instinctively, staring intently at Chen Wen's movements.

Most of the foreigners and members of the Shahe Gang did not recognize Chen Wen.

The Shahe Gang suffered a loss in the last melee, but it was too chaotic at the time.

Qiu Ba and the others did not get a clear look at Chen Wen's appearance.

The foreigners only knew that there was a Chinese man named Chen Wen who was skilled in making medicine, and that was their target.

But I have never met him in person.

Just then, a shrill voice filled with terror and disbelief came from behind the pile of goods:

"Chen Wen?! It's you?! You... what are you doing here?! Weren't you kidnapped by the foreigners?!"

When Admiral Fucha saw that Chen Wen had actually come in from outside, he was utterly shocked and bewildered.

Almost forgetting to hide, he leaned out halfway and pointed at Chen Wen, shouting.

Jason from the United States and Captain Wiggs from the Union Jack were just about to order their men to fire.

Upon hearing this name, they almost simultaneously widened their eyes and stared intently at Chen Wen.

"Chen Wen? You're that Chen Wen from the pharmaceutical factory?"

Captain Jason blurted out, his voice filled with astonishment and greed.

They quickly exchanged a glance.

A living Chen Wen is worth far more than a dead Chen Wen!

His mind and his prescriptions are a moving gold mine!

"Don't shoot! Capture him alive! You must capture him alive!"
