Chapter 118 - Lu Ting Breaks Handcuffs Barehanded Iron Cage? Are You Still Human? 

Realizing this, the guards arranged around the school perimeter immediately rushed towards the teaching building one after another.

 

As these guards rushed towards the teaching building, their expressions were extremely tense. Because if something happened to the detainees on the top floor of the teaching building during their watch, they would be held accountable afterward!

 

At that time, they would undoubtedly face severe punishment!

 

Just thinking about the punishment from their boss, the movements of these guards involuntarily quickened.

 

At the same time, in another location within the "KK" scam park.

 

That's where the little boss with the golden-rimmed glasses was located. Compared to other places in the scam park, his residence was obviously much more comfortable, although not luxurious, it was well decorated.

 

This also indirectly reflected the outstanding performance this little boss had achieved within the group.

 

Otherwise, even for a little boss like him, if they hadn't created enough achievements for the group, in the eyes of the big boss behind them, they were no different from those "pigs" below!

 

When the gunfire sounded, the little boss was sleeping soundly on the bed. When the first gunshot sounded, he was actually already awakened from his sleep.

 

People in their line of work were always sensitive to gunfire.

 

The subsequent gunfire immediately made the little boss sit up in bed and shout loudly outside the room, "Ah Cai!"

 

The next second, as the chaotic footsteps approached, the door of the little boss's room was pushed open from outside, and Ah Cai, who had been guarding in the living room outside, stood at the door and shouted, "Boss."

 

"What's going on?!"

 

The little boss sitting on the bed rubbed his forehead, looking displeased as he glanced at Ah Cai and ordered, "Why is there such a big disturbance late at night? Go check what's going on?!"

 

Obviously, at this point, the little boss didn't attach much importance to the two gunshots.

 

Because in their "KK" scam park, besides those disobedient or underperforming "pigs" needing unified treatment, occasionally there were also some guys trying to escape during the night.

 

And usually, when the most common pigs were caught, they were directly shot, and then they were used as a deterrent. However, many of them were also shot and killed by armed personnel during the capture process.

 

So, gunfire in their park was not considered abnormal.

 

After hearing the little boss's instructions, Ah Cai immediately responded obediently, "I'll go and see what's going on right now."

 

With that, Ah Cai turned around to leave.

 

"Wait."

 

Just at this moment, the little boss sitting on the bed seemed to remember something, and after half a second of thought, he spoke up, "Check upstairs while you're at it."

 

By "upstairs," the little boss naturally meant the top floor of the teaching building where Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu, the "big fat pigs," were being detained.

 

Although they had no chance of escaping under the heavy guard, these two were of extraordinary importance.

 

In fact, Wang Tianyu, who had already been squeezed for ransom several times, wasn't that important anymore. What really mattered was Zhao Ting, who had just been detained today!

 

This guy's father had directly wired 20 million dollars as the first ransom!

 

Perhaps after the group got their hands on the entire 160 million dollars, they could still gain additional benefits from Zhao Ting.

 

So, his importance was self-evident!

 

Now, it didn't matter who got into trouble, except for Zhao Ting!

 

Otherwise, even the little boss who had worked for the group for many years would be in danger!

 

Thinking of this, the little boss only now realized that although they couldn't possibly escape, it was still necessary to check periodically.

 

After hearing the latter half of the little boss's statement, Ah Cai immediately nodded in understanding. Then, he quickly turned around and rushed towards the teaching building where Zhao Ting was being detained.

 

To be honest, the level of attention these scam kidnappers are giving to Zhao Ting is definitely the highest in many years. Just the place where he's being held is like an onion, with layers upon layers.

 

But no matter how much they plan, they would never imagine that 'Zhao Ting' is actually an impostor!

 

All of this is just a trap set by Lu Ting to rescue the target individual!

 

At this moment, Lu Ting, who has already rescued Wang Tianyu from the top floor, is leading him down the stairs of the teaching building.

 

Because they're in a school, and schools are closed at night, the environment inside is actually very dark, with hardly any light.

 

Yet, Lu Ting, with his exceptional senses, moves smoothly and quickly as if he's walking on flat ground!

 

But poor Wang Tianyu, who's following behind him, feels like a blind man in this almost pitch-black situation. Even though he's firmly following Lu Ting, he still stumbles several times. How on earth can this guy see the way ahead?

 

Under Lu Ting's guidance, they soon reach the staircase connecting the first and second floors.

 

However, just as Lu Ting was about to continue down without stopping, he unexpectedly hears several chaotic footsteps and shouts coming from afar.

 

Tatatata—

 

"This way! Hurry up!"

 

"Run faster!"

 

"If something goes wrong, we're all done for!"

 

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and the conversations, Lu Ting knew that the guards from around the school were rushing to check the situation.

 

Although he didn't understand what they're saying, their tone indicated that they had sensed something wrong.

 

"Someone's coming?!"

 

Upon hearing the commotion of other guards coming, Wang Tianyu, who was following behind Lu Ting, immediately panicked. His face was filled with fear and anxiety.

 

After all, Wang Tianyu knew all too well how cruel these scam kidnappers could be! And he had not only witnessed it but also experienced it firsthand!

 

Last time he tried to escape, he was caught and had one of his fingers chopped off. And if he gets caught this time... he might not make it out alive!

 

Gulp—

 

Thinking about this, Wang Tianyu, hiding behind Lu Ting, nervously swallowed but feels somewhat reassured by Lu Ting's godlike performance back in the room.

 

Then, almost instinctively, he edged closer to Lu Ting and asked in a strained voice, "Bro, can you handle this situation?"

 

What nonsense?!

 

Hearing Wang Tianyu's slightly skeptical words, Lu Ting immediately raised an eyebrow in the darkness and turns to him, asking, "Are you questioning me?"

 

"No!"

 

Hearing Lu Ting's clearly unfriendly response, Wang Tianyu's head shook like a rattle drum, and he firmly said, "Bro, I definitely didn't mean it that way!"

 

"What I meant is—"

 

Wang Tianyu wanted to explain further, but by this time, Lu Ting had already turned back, staring at the empty space below the staircase, not listening to him continue babbling.

 

At this moment, even Wang Tianyu could clearly hear that the footsteps were so close that they couldn't get any closer. So he shut his mouth promptly.

 

Then, after Lu Ting swiftly switched his AK assault rifle from single-fire mode to automatic mode with a 'click,' he pushed Wang Tianyu back with one hand and said, "Stay behind me."

 

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianyu obediently took a few steps back until he was completely hidden in the darkness.

 

It was at this moment that the guards rushing from various parts of the school entered Lu Ting's attack range.

 

These guards who came to check the situation had no idea that by this time, Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu had already escaped from the heavily guarded top floor.

 

So, when they reached the staircase on the first floor of the teaching building, they didn't take any precautions against their surroundings!

 

This resulted in all these guards being exposed to Lu Ting's gunpoint as soon as they entered the darkness of the staircase!

 

When these five or six guards all came within his effective firing range, Lu Ting wasted no time and immediately pulled the trigger!

 

Bang bang bang bang

 

After a barrage of gunfire, five or six fresh bodies appeared on the stairs in an instant!

 

These unprepared guards didn't even have time to scream before Lu Ting wiped them all out!

 

Meanwhile, hiding in the corner of the platform, Wang Tianyu felt surreal. His widened eyes were filled with disbelief, and it took him a while to recover from the shock.

 

It wasn't until Lu Ting finished shooting and said, "Let's go," that Wang Tianyu regained his senses.

 

Immediately, he walked up to Lu Ting, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Is it over just like that?!"

 

How is this different from the gunfights he imagined?!

 

Not only was it different from what he imagined a gunfight to be, it was even different from most of the combat scenes in movies and TV shows! After all, those gunfights are usually intense and hard-fought battles, but here with Lu Ting, killing five or six people seemed as simple as killing five or six chickens!

 

While Lu Ting couldn't care less about what was going on in Wang Tianyu's mind at the moment, after reminding him, he continued walking down without any hesitation.

 

At the same time, as he passed by the bodies of the guards, Lu Ting casually removed the magazines from two of the AK rifles they were using.

 

The guns had been fired, and it was only a matter of time before other armed personnel arrived, so even though he had skills like a god-tier knife thrower, it's always good to be prepared with ammunition.

 

Seeing Lu Ting move forward, Wang Tianyu quickly pushed aside his jumbled thoughts and hurried to catch up.

 

However, as they passed by the bodies of the guards, the overwhelmingly strong smell of blood made him grimace.

 

He could even feel the sticky sensation under his feet!

 

Looking at Lu Ting ahead, acting as if nothing had happened, and even rummaging through their bodies, Wang Tianyu couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

 

Indeed, compared to ordinary people like them, professionals like Lu Ting have a mental endurance ten or even a hundred times stronger!

 

While Lu Ting was dealing with the first wave of guards, the others in the electronic fraud compound finally realized that something was wrong.

 

They no longer thought that these gunshots were just dealing with disobedient "pigs," but rather that something had gone wrong at the place where the "pigs" were being held!

 

And judging from the direction of the gunfire, it was the most important location where the "pigs" were being held!

 

This discovery didn't just scare the armed personnel to death. If something had really happened to those in charge above, they wouldn't live through the night!

 

Therefore, in the next second after realizing this, regardless of their positions, armed personnel from all over the compound began rushing towards the school located in the central area of the compound!

 

Different from the guards who Lu Ting effortlessly eliminated, these armed personnel were obviously better equipped. They wore uniform combat uniforms, bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests, and even their weapons were of higher quality!

 

Clearly, they were the main fighting force in the "KK" electronic fraud compound, and the guards were just small fry!

 

At the same time, at a location hundreds of meters outside the perimeter wall of the "KK" electronic fraud compound, the members of the 141 Special Forces team lying in ambush also heard the consecutive gunshots coming from inside the compound.

 

"The commander is moving?!"

 

Hearing the continuous gunfire from inside, Soap, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately exclaimed excitedly.

 

Nikolai quickly checked the combat computer beside him. He saw that the red dot representing Lu Ting's tracking device was still flashing.

 

Then, he looked at Price and reported, "Team Leader Price, the commander's position is still active."

 

After hearing Nikolai's words, Price immediately furrowed his brows slightly. Although gunshots were indeed heard coming from the electronic fraud compound at this time, they had no way of knowing whether these gunshots were caused by Commander Lu Ting's initiation of action or for some other reason.

 

After pondering for half a second, Price immediately contacted the Ghost, who was lurking on another ridge, through his personal combat terminal, and asked, "Ghost, can you see what's happening inside the compound now?!"

 

Upon hearing this, the Ghost, who had been paying attention to the movements inside the compound since the gunshots were heard, immediately replied, "Yes, the entire electronic fraud compound is brightly lit up now. Within the range I can observe, all armed personnel are rushing towards the source of the gunfire. There are probably around fifteen to twenty people."

 

"Based on this situation, armed personnel from other areas may also be rushing over, and the possibility is high!"

 

After a brief report, the Ghost added, " Price, has the commander's action signal appeared?"

 

Obviously, the Ghost believed that with such a commotion in the "KK" electronic fraud compound in the middle of the night, there was no doubt that their commander had started to act!

 

Not only the Ghost, but the other team members also shared the same thought.

 

After all, the direction they were heading was where the tracking device on Commander Lu Ting's body indicated he was.

 

"Not yet."

 

Although Price's thoughts at this moment were the same as everyone else's, before they acted, they had agreed with the commander that the action signal would be based on the signal from the tracking device on his body.

 

Even though gunshots were heard in the electronic fraud compound now, until they received Lu Ting's accurate action signal, Price decided to temporarily hold their position.

 

Commander Lu Ting must have his own plan, and if they didn't act according to the agreed plan, it might disrupt the commander's plan!

 

Therefore, after considering for two seconds, Price communicated to everyone through his personal combat terminal, "Everyone, stay in position, and action will be based on the commander's signal!"

 

"Roger!"

 

The members of the 141 Special Forces team lying in ambush immediately responded to Team Leader Price's command.

 

At the same time,

 

Inside the "KK" electronic fraud compound, the small leader who was originally staying in his residence couldn't sit still anymore.

 

If he didn't know what was happening in the compound now, then his role as a supervisor would be pointless!

 

As he was about to get into his car and rush over, the small leader received a call from his subordinate, Ah Cai, "What's going on?!"

 

Upon hearing this, Ah Cai, the subordinate on the other end of the phone, truthfully replied, "It's Zhao Ting and Wang Tianyu. They escaped!"

 

"And the others who were detained here also escaped, but they didn't get far. I've recaptured them!"

 

"Escaped?!"

 

The small leader sitting in the car froze for a moment when he heard this. Then, his face was filled with incredulity.

 

"No way, how did they escape?!"

 

The top floor corridor of the teaching building was locked with iron gates and iron chains, and the cages they were held in were locked with iron chains as well. Moreover, they were wearing handcuffs and ankle cuffs.

 

With this level of detention, are you telling me that these people escaped?!

 

A living person with a gun was beaten to death by two pieces of broken bones?!

 

No matter who looks at it, it's something that seems utterly impossible!

 

So, at this moment, Ah Cai really didn't know how to explain the situation to the boss.

 

Could it be said that after the guards were beaten to death by two pieces of broken bones, Zhao Ting, who was locked in the iron cage, bent the handcuffs, ankle cuffs, and the iron cage with his bare hands, then found the keys on the guards' bodies, escaped by himself, and also helped others escape?!

 

Thinking about this, Ah Cai, standing in the room, suddenly froze, and an idea that seemed highly probable now but seemed impossible before emerged in his mind.

 

Damn it.

 

Could this Zhao Ting be specifically here to rescue people?!

 

Thinking of this, Ah Cai glanced at the iron cage where Wang Tianyu was detained, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

 

Yeah.

 

With the power of Wang Tianyu's family, after giving numerous ransoms, if the compound didn't release anyone, they had no choice but to seek help from others.

 

Previously, they had no results when they sought help from the police, so they had to seek help from mercenaries!

 

And mercenaries who were willing to do anything as long as the money was right seemed to be capable of such risky rescue methods!

 

Thinking of this, Ah Cai suddenly remembered that when he was catching Lu Ting and taking him to that room, he had felt the sturdy muscles all over him. Although Lu Ting didn't use force, he could still feel it.

 

But at that time, he only thought that perhaps Lu Ting had the habit of exercising regularly. But now, thinking about it...

 

Damn it, where did he get those muscles from?

 

Most likely from fighting every day!
