Chapter 41: Dodged the bullet.

Qin Qianyu pulled her mask out and put it on before sneaking in. She found the men's trail as they entered into a private booth inside the club.

She didn't really have a solid plan in place, she just wanted to send the gang a message that she's not a person they should provoke, ever.

She ambled to the door where two men stood guard.

"Hey! This is where everyone is meeting right?"

The two men turn to see Qin Qianyu. They both looked her up and down,

"Who the hell are you?"

"This isn't a place for you, but that room over there has a nice comfortable bed how about the three of us test it out later?"

The taller of the two door guards quipped as he eyed Qin Qianyu's equally tall and filled out body.

Qin Qianyu shot a palm strike to the tall man's throat causing him to double over gasping for breath.

She then sent a kick to the other guards chin knocking him out cold as he flew back into the door before sliding down to the floor.

Qin Qianyu opened the door and stepped inside holding the doubled over tall guard.

When she was in, she scanned the room then she threw a front kick sending the tall man flying into a group of men standing around.

"The fuck is all this then!?"

A large heavyset man sitting on a leather couch called out after taking a drink of whiskey he had in hand.

"I'm a debt collector, you haven't made any payments so, here I am."

Qin Qianyu stated nonchalantly as she took stock of all the men inside the room.

She quickly found two of the three technicians laying in a pool of their own blood, the third one was sitting in his own piss muttering to himself,

The big guy was already in a bad mood, out of all the heads of the gang, he was always given all the shit jobs like babysitting those three technicians.

When they told him that they made little to no progress whatsoever with Qin Qianyu's pills he beat two of them within a matter of seconds.

The men who watched this were all in awe of his strength. The big guy looked at Qin Qianyu and didn't feel like playing around.

He immediately threw the glass in his hand at Qin Qianyu then got up to confront her.

He charged at her and Qin Qianyu smirked as she locked on to all of his openings.

He swung his massive arms, his fist aiming for Qin Qianyu's face. She didn't even fully dodge the incoming hit, she just stepped to the side and with a single finger she pushed down on the fist and the massive arm lost momentum and fell to the man's side.

"Tsk! So many openings, if this is the best you can do, I'm sorely disappointed in this gang. Hey, maybe you should rename it "Everstink Dog dung" heh! It has a nice ring to it right?"

Qin Qianyu mocked, this cause the big oaf to be even more furious. He charged at her again and again. Each time he did, more of the same happened.

"Alright baby oxen . . My turn,"

Qin Qianyu had also had enough, with that said she made her move. She flashed left and right pushing her fingers into various joints on the big guys joints before taking a few steps backwards then charging right at him.

She gave the big fellow a charged shoulder barge which caused him to stumble back and followed that up with a roundhouse kick to the chest causing his large body to smash through the door.

The other members were shocked at the turn of events. Most of them started backing away, they all held similar thoughts,

"If the big boss couldn't handle her, how could they?"

Suddenly another crashing sound echoed out, everyone turned to see the big guy flying back through the door he was just kicked out off.

As he landed, another silhouette followed him through the door.

Qin Qianyu cocked her head to the side and flashed a smile. The interloper saw this and with surprise in their eyes, gave her a slight nod.

"Handsome Wolf! Hey! . . You don't strike me as the dancing type. Say! You wouldn't happen to be stalking me by chance are you?"

" . . . "

Wen Wú Ting's face twisted when she asked, hearing her mention the word "stalker" made him recall his little brother and the mess he made chasing a girl younger that their little sister.

"W . . Work, I'm working."

"Haha, that's a pity, well you gotta pay the bills somehow right? By the way, has anyone never told you that you talk funny?"

" . . . "

"Tsk! This only occurs when I'm around you!"

Wen Wú ting complained in his heart. He still couldn't fathom why he'd always get tongue tied when ever he met her.

"Now's not the time for chitchat."

Wen wu Ting replied as he pointed out the men holding bats, clubs, machetes and knives.

"Oh right! . . them! Haha, I don't think they like me very much."

"Why?"

"Not sure, but what I could gather, they seem to be taking my medicine and trying to modify the components in order to recreate another type of pill. So I came to collect debts, and some weren't willing to pay."

Qin Qianyu stated then pointed out the big oaf laid out on the ground.

"Mhm, Gu Ping was this gangs supplier of meth, aphrodisiacs, ghb and other party pills."

"It seems that ADT are taking things seriously,"

Qin Qianyu thought to herself. Wen Wú Ting then added that during their investigation into Gu Ping and his activities, they found that all of the trial medications he and his uncle made were sold to the Evergreen Dragon gang every now and then to supplement their spending and funds into making more drugs to on sell to Jing Hospital and the more bigger hospitals in the future for a larger profit.

Qin Qianyu understood why Zhang Qingmei was in her city. ADT had been planning a raid on the gang for some time now.

"I've found a warehouse where they had a makeshift lab set up, but it's probably only one of many under the gangs control. I only found it cause I had a tracker in my stolen medicine. You'll have to find the others if there are any, yourself."

"Already done, this is the last place."

"Gu Ping's last batch is here, that's why I'm here."

"Ahh! It makes sense then, well we'll have to destroy the pills they've made so far, it's nothing short of death for anyone who takes it."

"Mhm, take this,"

Wen Wú Ting held out a handgun for Qin Qianyu, she recognised the make and model from her time at the firing range.

"Steinbrenner 9mm! Heh, you keep it, I have all I need right here."

She says nonchalantly as she tapped her head and flashed Wen Wú Ting a small smile.

"I insist, it'll be dangerous without it. You can't dodge a bullet."

"Says who!? It's super easy to dodge bullets."

" . . . "

"What? . . Don't believe me? . . It's simple, if someone has a gun pointed at you, knock their arse out before they can pull the trigger!"

" . . . "

"I'm joking of course, look, these fools are too low level, they won't have firearms, most of them don't have any martial training under them, so those weapons in their hands would lose around 79% of their efficiency. To me they're basically overweight, overgrown high schoolers who are only brave because they move in a pack with an alpha behind them."

"Besides, I don't kill wantonly, there are only two people that deserve such a thing by these two hands of mine, everyone else I'll leave to the law."

Wen Wú Ting agreed internally at Qin Qianyu's assessment of the goons in front of them.

He had forgotten that she's actually a triple zero holder, but it still didn't stop him from wanting to offer her extra protection so that she wouldn't get hurt.

Then another thought hit him,

"Wait, You have a hit list?"

"Doesn't everyone?"

"Mhm . . . Are you sure you don't need it?"

"Mhm, you keep it, I honestly don't need a gun."

"Suit yourself,"

The pair's conversation was soon interrupted by one of the gang members,

"The fuck is with the flirting! If you two wanna go and screw each other there's . . "

"A comfortable bed in the room over there, yes, yes, I've been made aware of this already!"

Qin Qianyu intervened and cut off the gang member then finished off his sentence for him.

Then she continued,

"And who's flirting? Besides, I have no interest in a "Cave Diver!" And I'm 100% sure he really doesn't want to flirt with me."

"Who you bullshitting lady!?"

" . . . "

"But . . I'm . . Not"

Wen Wú Ting stuttered with widen eyes after hearing the heated dialogue going on between Qin Qianyu and the goon.

"See! . . I was right! He said he's not!"

With that said, Qin Qianyu flashed a smile and went to work on the slightly frightened gang members.

Wen Wú Ting watched on in awe, he examined her movements well.

"Why do these moves look familiar?"

After a while more he was fully entranced. It was like she was performing in a Wushu event.

Qin Qianyu threw a goon into what was the utility closet and as he stumbled out of the damaged closet a mop and bucket followed after him.

Qin Qianyu flashed towards it and stepped on the mop head removing it from the handle.

She started a kata with the metal handle and started swinging and twirling it around her hands and body with practiced hands.

She stepped towards a middle aged man holding a bat. As she got close he swung the bat with all his might.

Qin Qianyu took a single step back while the bat was at its peak arch.

She then stepped forwards straight away and moved the mop handle in between his arms and following the momentum of his swing Qin Qianyu held the lower end of the mop handle in an upward motion making the handle go from vertical to horizontal in the same direction as his swing locking both arms which caused the wielder to flip themselves on the spot.

She continued on and repeated several such moves on all the goons. It truly amazed Wen Wú Ting how she could deliver so much pain and damage with just a mop handle.

Suddenly, Qin Qianyu flashed in front of Wen Wú Ting and wrapped an arm around his waist as she did so, she pulled him into her and threw them both backwards while throwing the mop handle like a spear.

Wen Wú Ting turned slightly to see the big guy they had both kicked though the door a while ago, swinging a machete and hitting nothing but air where Wen Wú Ting was previously standing.

The mop handle lodged itself into the big guys shoulder causing him to drop the blade before dropping himself.

"Thanks, that was . . close,"

Wen Wú Ting muttered as Qin Qianyu held him in her embrace. He was so close to Qin Qianyu that his eyes where in line with her lips and her scent coming off her exposed neck invaded his nostrils with a vengeance.

Suddenly a voice begrudgingly brought him out of his self induced trance

"Commander!"

Zhang Qingmei cried out as she entered the room with her gun in hand. She saw him close to Qin Qianyu and without blinking, raised her gun and opened fire.

Qin Qianyu gave Wen Wú Ting a slight nudge with a well placed kick,

"Foxy!"

Wen Wú Ting exclaimed with fright as a bullet hole appeared on the wall between the two.

"Two close calls in a matter of seconds, tsk! How bad is your luck handsome wolf?"

Qin Qianyu asked with a smile that wasn't a smile,

"Hey bitch! Get the hell away from him!"

"Or . . You'll shoot me?"

Qin Qianyu uttered nonchalantly. She smiled at Wen Wú Ting then it disappeared in a flash just like Qin Qianyu herself.

She had flashed away and stood before Zhang Qingmei.

Zhang Qingmei pulled the trigger and fired off a round. Qin Qianyu stepped to the left so the bullet wouldn't stray and hit Wen Wú Ting then she gave the irate Lieutenant an open palmed slap to the face.

Qin Qianyu wasn't finished, she punched the woman's solar plexus causing her to become winded before pinching her carotid artery stopping both oxygen and blood flow.

Zhang Qingmei fell to the floor still breathing but in an unconscious state.

"Handsome wolf, it seems your Lieutenant Zhang is quite fond of accidental discharges, how she still remains on the team is beyond me."

Qin Qianyu quipped as she looked down on the unconscious Zhang Qingmei. She then added

"Alright, seems like your team is here, I'll leave the rest for you, same deal as before. You clean up since I provided the meal."

She turned and started walking away, then she stopped.

"Handsome Wolf!"

"I ain't no saint! Let this be the last and only time, least there be an addition to my list of two people."

Qin Qianyu stated as she pointed directly at Zhang Qingmei.

Wen Wú Ting watched quietly as Qin Qianyu disappeared from sight.

He sighed then looked around at all the bodies knocked out lying on the ground, then he saw blood where Qin Qianyu had been standing with him just moments ago.

Wanting to ease his mind, Wen Wú Ting poked his finger into the bullet hole in the wall. When he pulled it out, his finger was lightly covered in blood and dry wall particles.

"Commander! . . What . . What happened to the Lieutenant?"

Guards Three and Four had arrived and had entered the private room.

Wen Wú Ting told them to secure the scene and watch over Lieutenant Zhang.

After saying as much, he bolted out the door and headed in the general direction that Qin Qianyu left in.

He knew she was wearing a custom tailored ballistic fibre cloak, but she had used her leg to push him away when Zhang Qingmei shot her gun.

He found blood every 5 to 6 meters for 100 meters or so, then there was nothing in any direction he looked in.

Wen Wú Ting quickly pulled out his phone,

"Eldest brother! Don't you know how late it is?"

"Find the Phantom Fox for me!"

"Foxy sister? Wait! . . Are you poisoned again?"

"Hurry up! . . . She's been shot!"

"She who!? . . Lieutenant Zhang? Just send her to the hospital, why bother my Foxy sister for someone like her?"

"It's not Lieutenant Zhang, . . It's the Fox, she was shot but she left without saying anything."

"What! How could she!? She's a Phantom!?"

"Xiaoling! Find her now!"

Wen Wú Ling ended her call with her brother and started up her hextext.

Seconds felt like an eternity for Wen Wú Ting, some of the members of ADT came across him and noticed how anxious he was.

All of them thought he was like this because of Lieutenant Zhang.

"Don't worry commander she'll pull through,"

"That's right, the doctors on the scene just said she's unconscious but not in any serious danger."

"Mhm, make sure you don't miss anything, we must get every single drug otherwise the entire raid and operation would be for nought."

"Yes commander!"

"Mhm,"

Wen Wú Ting gave the two men a throaty reply then walked off in another direction and took out his phone again.

"Well?"

"Brother it hasn't even been a minute. Look, I've messaged her already but there's no response. Now tell me what's going on? What happened?"

"Nothing happened,"

"If you don't tell me I'll stop messaging her,"

" . . . "
