As the helicopter slowly descended to the edge of the rooftop, Yang Yuan shouted from a distance. The situation was urgent; if they didn't leave quickly, they would be in trouble when the pursuers arrived.
Hearing this, Lingyun Tian's eyes flashed with intensity. He swiftly threw a punch, aiming to drive Mo Ming back and make his escape. However, Mo Ming had no intention of letting him go. With a wicked smile on his face, he met Lingyun Tian's punch head-on.
Calmly, he said, "You’re staying here tonight; you can't escape."
"You think you can keep us here?" Lingyun Tian scoffed. Even if Mo Ming came at him, he was confident he could overpower Mo Ming's fist.
"Let’s see if you can stay."
Just as their fists were about to collide, Mo Ming suddenly relaxed his clenched fist and transformed it into an open palm, dodging Lingyun Tian's punch. He then forcefully pushed Lingyun Tian's wrist aside.
Anyone familiar with Tai Chi would be surprised to find that Mo Ming's move embodied the essence of combining speed and slowness found in Tai Chi, though it was not a technique from that discipline.
"What!"
Lingyun Tian was taken aback, realizing this wasn’t over yet. In the instant his punch was deflected, Mo Ming's palm quickly wrapped around Lingyun Tian's wrist.
"Practicing martial arts through self-harm is a grave mistake. Because of your iron fist training, your hand's sensitivity has greatly diminished!"
Mo Ming tightened his grip on Lingyun Tian's wrist and pulled him forward. As Lingyun Tian came closer, Mo Ming leaped up and struck him hard in the abdomen with his knee.
"Ah..."
After being hit by Mo Ming, Lingyun Tian couldn't help but cry out. He struggled desperately to break free, but Mo Ming held onto his wrist tightly. No matter how much he attacked Mo Ming, he couldn't inflict even the slightest harm.
"Big Brother!" Yang Yuan saw Lingyun Tian being beaten by Mo Ming and wanted to rush over to help. However, Lingyun Tian shouted to stop him, saying, "Don't worry about me; you go first. If I die here tonight, remember to avenge me."
"Revenge?" Mo Ming sneered coldly, with a hint of chill in his tone. "Don't worry, tonight, none of you from Bloodthirsty Mercenaries will escape. I don't like leaving my enemies thinking about how to kill me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ming raised his fist and quickly struck Lingyun Tian's nose several times. He then released Lingyun Tian's wrist and gathered strength in his leg, delivering a powerful kick to Lingyun Tian's abdomen, sending him flying two meters away.
"Let's go! As long as the green mountains remain, we won't worry about firewood! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to!" At this moment, Lingyun Tian still prioritized Yang Yuan's escape over his own safety. One had to admit, he was a real man.
If they weren't destined to be enemies, Mo Ming would have liked to be friends with Lingyun Tian.
"Big brother, take care! One day, I will avenge you. I won't let them live in peace," Yang Yuan gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to leave alone. He tightened his grip on Fu Meng's neck and slowly moved towards the helicopter.
At that moment, Ji Yue led a group of detectives who rushed over, their guns aimed at Yang Yuan and Lingyun Tian. Lingyun Tian stood up defiantly despite the difficulty, revealing that he had indeed strapped a bomb around his waist!
"You better not move; otherwise, we won't hesitate to detonate the bomb!" Lingyun Tian shouted frantically. "Once this bomb goes off, you won't be able to escape!"
"Oh really?" Mo Ming ignored Lingyun Tian's words and stepped closer. "Why don't you detonate it for me to see? After all, I have nothing to lose; if I die, then so be it. What do I have to fear?"
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Lingyun Tian retorted.
Mo Ming wore a mocking expression and shrugged his shoulders. "I never said you wouldn't dare; I'm just asking you to detonate it for me to see. I want to know how powerful this bomb really is!"
"Mo Ming, are you crazy?" Ji Yue bit her lip and said. "If you provoke him any further, we might end up going down with him. You may not care about your life, but we still want ours."
"Lingyun Tian, I want you to detonate it for me!" Mo Ming shouted sternly at Lingyun Tian. "I want to see who is afraid of death; I’m not afraid! Are you afraid?"
This statement left Ji Yue and the others exchanging stunned glances. At such a moment, you're actually saying this to an extremely dangerous person? You really are fearless!
"Heh, do you think that just because you're not afraid of death, I am?" Lingyun Tian sneered. "Since founding Bloodthirsty Mercenaries, I've often lived on the edge of life and death. Death? I've already..."
"Shut up! If you're not afraid, why haven't you detonated the bomb yet? You're scared, you trash, you coward!" Mo Ming chuckled and said, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you to blow it up!"
The police officers were closely watching Lingyun Tian's movements. They noticed that he turned pale at Mo Ming's words and remained motionless. Ji Yue was somewhat dumbfounded; could it be that Mo Ming's words had frightened him into a stupor?
"I'll tell you why you won't detonate the bomb: it's because you never expected things to escalate to this point, and the bomb on you is real. Unfortunately, things happened too suddenly. The one skilled in handling bombs, Fourth Brother, is dead, and you have no code to activate the bomb!"
Mo Ming's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, a hint of sarcasm curling at the corners of his mouth as he said, "Are you wondering how I know so much about you? That's because I investigated you a long time ago."
"Who are you?"
Lingyun Tian asked in shock, his curiosity piqued by this capable young man who seemed to know so much about them.
"Hehe, who I am isn't important. What's important is that none of you are leaving today!"
Mo Ming did not answer Lingyun Tian's question; he didn't want Ji Yue and the others to know his identity. His identity as Shura couldn't be revealed just yet; otherwise, Ji Yue would frequently drag him into the station for tea.
Since the bomb couldn't intimidate Mo Ming, Lingyun Tian harbored resentment and wanted to attack him. However, the police officers standing nearby were not to be trifled with. They aimed at Lingyun Tian's vital points and fired several shots to restrict his movements.
"Big brother!" Yang Yuan roared in pain.
Lingyun Tian gritted his teeth against the gunshot wound and shouted, "Don't worry about me, just go!"
"None of you are leaving. If you've broken the law, you'll face legal consequences!" Ji Yue said as he instructed two nearby officers, "You two go and cuff the robber. Take him back for interrogation!" The two officers stepped forward and handcuffed Lingyun Tian.
No matter how skilled one is, they can't outmatch a gun! Lingyun Tian was the perfect example!
The police subdued Lingyun Tian and began moving towards the helicopter when Yang Yuan fired a few shots as a warning. Yang Yuan immediately dared not move again, gripping tightly onto his last lifeline.
At this moment, Yang Yuan felt as lost as a stray dog, filled with fear of death. Once a young master, he had now become a robber facing imminent death, a conclusion that was hard for him to accept.
"Young Master Yang, I'm sorry, but looking at you all, it seems you can't save yourselves. The money may be tempting, but life is more precious. We won't take this deal," said the man wearing a ghost king mask in the helicopter with a cold laugh, then instructed the pilot to fly away.
"Bastard, come back!"
Yang Yuan's eyes were filled with despair as he roared madly, but they paid him no mind and flew far away. If they delayed any longer, escaping from Nanhua City would become very difficult.
Mo Ming revealed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth: "Young Master Yang, after planning so hard for so long, aren't you tired? Since your plan has failed, why bother running so desperately? Why not just stay and accompany your brothers?"
"Hmph, Mo Ming, I underestimated you. My mistake was being too merciful towards you. I should have hired someone to assassinate you back then; perhaps today’s outcome wouldn’t have turned out like this."
Yang Yuan regretted not being ruthless enough back then. But even if he had hired someone to assassinate Mo Ming, would it have succeeded? Sito Hai had tried that approach and ended up dead. If Yang Yuan had acted sooner, perhaps today’s events wouldn’t have occurred.
"Regret is useless now, Yang Yuan. You only have two paths before you: one, release Mayor Fu and accept the law's punishment," Mo Ming said with a smile. "The other is to fight to the death and bleed on the spot!"
"Hmph! As long as I hold Mayor Fu's life in my hands, I don't believe you can do anything to me!" Yang Yuan tightened his grip on Fu Meng and declared, "Everyone drop your weapons and turn your backs to me. If you don’t comply, I’ll die anyway; I might as well take your Mayor Fu down with me."
"You know you're going to die anyway; then why say such things?" Mo Ming mocked. "There's no need to hide your inner fear; your eyes betray you. You are scared—scared of death!"
"No! I'm not afraid! I want you to do as I say immediately; otherwise, we will truly perish together!" Yang Yuan became increasingly agitated, his head trembling as he said, "Also, bring my brother over here; otherwise, I'll kill him."
Yang Yuan tightened his grip on Fu Meng's neck even more. From Fu Meng's expression, it was clear he was in great pain and struggling to breathe; his face was turning red and he was completely powerless.
"Drop your weapons and turn your backs to me!" Yang Yuan's roar echoed through the dark void.
"Don't be impulsive; we can do as you say. Just let Mayor Fu go and we will let you leave," Fu Meng said. If anything happened to him, Ji Yue would bear significant responsibility. Thus, she had no choice but to compromise. With a sigh, she said, "Everyone listen to him; drop your weapons."
"Captain..."
"Follow orders!" Ji Yue did not give the detectives any chance to speak and said, "The mayor's life is very important. We cannot let him sacrifice himself. Evil cannot triumph over good; even if he escapes today, he won't escape tomorrow!"
"Alright, fine."
The detectives were extremely reluctant, but Ji Yue had already issued the command, and they could not openly defy it, so they had no choice but to drop their weapons.
"Very well, now turn around and let my brother come over. Don't play tricks; otherwise, I will kill him!" Yang Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride as he spoke with a touch of dominance, having successfully threatened the detectives for once.
Just as the detective was about to unlock Lingyun Tian's handcuffs, his eyes widened in terror as he shouted at Yang Yuan, "Third brother, be careful!"
"What?"
Yang Yuan had no time to react when he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. Turning his head to look, he realized that Mo Ming had somehow appeared behind him without him noticing.
Strange, swift, terrifying!
