With the arrival of reinforcements, the firepower on Su Chaoyang's side had considerably weakened.
The assassins, aware that their mission had failed, and that their opponents possessed greater firepower, had to beat a hasty retreat to save their own lives.
In a short while, the forest fell silent again, leaving the air filled with the scent of gunpowder.
Su Chaoyang sat on one knee behind a large rock, with his right hand gripping the gun resting on his knee, and his head slightly drooped, panting in a disordered manner.
When the plainclothes officers found him, sensing something was wrong, they hurriedly rushed forward, asking with concern, "Lieutenant Su, are you alright?"
As someone attempted to help him up, Su Chaoyang lifted his head, his resolute cheek now returning to calm, "I'm fine." He waved off the officer's goodwill with a shake of his hand, raised his brows slightly, and got up by himself.
