198 Sudden Even (1/2)

Qiu!

The moment the mysterious man fell to the ground, he pulled the trigger subconsciously. The 7.62mm bullet roared across Chen Fan's head, blowing open a finger-thick black hole in the ceiling.

”Damn your masters, Nakagawa Emi…”Chen Fan felt only numbness all over, and a chill feeling in his spine.

He had guns, too, but he did not say anything. He couldn't shoot people, not even in his own home. He was not a murderous gangster, but was just a kid, who grew up in the peace years, a naughty kid, who used to fight in school and never dared hurt anyone.

”Don't move, for if you move again, I'll shoot!” Chen Fan acted cruel and took out a pistol from his back. The crisp sound of loading bullets was heard, leaving two mysterious people, who could not see the scene, at a loss.

The pistols he had seized were of high quality, and were made by the old Italian gun company Beretta, which had been hijacked from a ship by Wei Songyue, before being taken back by Wang Bing. With the help of a night vision device, Chen Fan zoomed down several flights of stairs, grabbed a black man's retractable electric baton, and held it in his hand.

He knew how powerful this thing was. A bear bigger than a human could fall down like a fallen tree, if he was hit by it. Crackling, crackling, crackling, the two men in black, who had been trapped in the corner of the wall, showed looks of horror.

Another man, who had been kicked by Chen Fan in his chin, was acting as if he had been possessed, unable to struggle, when he heard the crackling sound of the electric baton. After he was shot by the electric batons, he was immediately as if he had been cut in the nervous system, his whole body going rigid.

”It's better than a handgun or something, as it works faster and has no serious effect.” Chen Fan kicked the two men, who fell down, before he could even snort. Seeing that they did not respond, he leaned over and prodded them. Chen Fan, who was not prepared for such an outcome, was scared and had a chill.

The three men dressed in black seemed unaware that, hidden in his clothes, placed at his waist and near his ribs, were all deadly weapons: the SUT retractable fighting stick, a leather gun sheath, a spare cartridge clip, a small revolver...

”My dear,” Chen Fan gasped. Are they going to fight in Afghanistan or against a law-abiding businessman?

Without the help of the flash, how could he be so ruthless as to lay out these three guys, who wanted his life?

”Hello, have you picked up Yunmeng?” Chen Fan phoned his friend, after dragging the three ”dead pigs” into the living room and running to the balcony on the third floor, where the satellite signals were good.

”I'm on campus now. I've got her. I'll be home in twelve minutes.”

”Well, those three have been knocked down by me with my electric baton.” Chen Fan did not show any expression, while touching Xiao Xue, which he had locked on the balcony. He then said quietly, ”Don't rush back, take Yunmeng somewhere to eat something. It's not good for her to see this scene. When I take the three men to the dock by the sea, you can come back, and we'll raid them all night.”

”Well, well, I'm good at that!” Wang Bing's voice was full of impatience. ”You hurry up, and when you are done, call me!”

”Yeah!” After pressing the phone off, Chen Fan ran downstairs, ready to find some ropes and strips, to use to tie them up in hemp.

”How dare you send someone to my house to rob me?” he demanded of the robbers. ”I'll ask for your details, and the little girl will be whining for her father and mother.”

............

Two men in black uniforms and yellow armbands walked side by side on the tree-lined boulevard around the lake, their thick black oxen boots kicking up the asphalt.

”Whew, it's cold in this weather! The man on the left looked up and exhaled a string of white fog. ”By the way, Ma Shuai, how is your foreign wife?”

”How else? Her family wants me to take 100 thousand RMB in monetary gifts, and then buy a commodity house in the county town. They say that if I do not, then we are over!”

The robust young man, called Ma Shuai, was not surprised. ”The parents these days are not marrying their daughters, they are selling them.”

”Who says? It's supposed to be a good job for us, to have a secure salary of 3,000 RMB a month and a few hundred RMB bonus every year. But if you want to buy a house and get married, you have to work for fifteen years, all without eating or drinking!”

”Yeah... ” Ma Shuai rubbed the hand that was frozen and pale. ”Wait for me to save enough, like 100 thousand, and ask my parents for tens of thousands, and then think of a way to pay the down payment! As for the gift money? Sheesh. Only then will she marry if she likes, and if she doesn't, it's okay. Do they really think that we men are worse than donkeys, who are tired of supporting a wife and putting effort on her mother's house?”

While complaining, Ma Shuai's cell phone suddenly rang, and he took a look at it.

”My girlfriend's calling!” Ma Shuai let out a bitter laugh, then pressed the on the button to answer.

”Hello,” he said as he performed his duty of patrol, using all kinds of flattering words to ward off his girlfriend's complaints.

Zi... zi...

As he continued walking more than 100 meters down the lake's tarmac, there was a steady hum of electricity that sounded from his cell phone.

”What's wrong with the signal?” Ma Shuai, who was already upset, began to frown.

”No, my signal is full!”

When he looked at his phone, he found that the signal on his side was only showing two grids. He walked one step forward, due to his habit, and the signal was lowered by another one.

”Hello...Hello” Ma Shuai roared a few times, as the detection signal was getting worse and worse, so he had to hang up the phone. ”What a stupid cell phone!”

There were special mobile base stations and Unicom base stations in the community, even in the basement, where the calls would not be affected, so he thought his phone was out of order. After about 50 meters, he noticed that the signal on his cell phone had suddenly changed from no service area to now having a grid signal.

”Eh?” The flat-headed man suddenly stopped. ”My cell phone, like yours, has one signal.”

They exchanged a look, then, without saying a word, they quickened their pace at the same time and walked thirty meters. When the signal was full, the two men doubled their speeds, and their face expressions changed greatly.

”Hello, duty room, near area A, no. 8, there is a mobile phone jammer working. Send someone here immediately.” Ma Shuai ran outside the interference area and called out on his walkie-talkie.

In less than a minute, all 12 security guards in the entire duty room rushed in their four-wheel battery cars to meet the two men.

”Let's change the walkie-talkie channel to 455MHZ!” Security chief Zhuo Peng took out his cellphone and took a look at it.

The working atmosphere of the mobile signal jammer was very limited. It only worked for a fixed frequency range of mobile phones, and could not interfere with any v-segment radio frequency walkie-talkie, which could be tuned at any time. Unless a high power broadband jammer was used, to break down all radio signals in the range. (That's the kind of jamming car used by special forces to prevent a remotely controlled bomb from exploding.)

”Chief!” Ma Shuai touched Zhuo Peng with his arms, pointing to the villa 30 meters away, and said, ”I estimate that the signal source comes from there, as all the houses nearby have their lights on, but that house does not, and the door is wide open, which is very suspicious.”

”You guys get the electro bike out of here, call the police, then go to the duty room and get the webbing gun and the night-vision goggles. The rest of you come hide in the grass with me!” Zhuo Peng looked worried, as the people who lived here were all among the Zhongyun rich class, so if anyone was hurt, he would be the first one to be blamed, because he was the security chief.
