The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 192: Hiding in the Basement


Xiao Feng observed the situation on the third floor. From what he could see in front of him, aside from the sisters Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Zhiyan, the opposing side had a total of twenty-three people. In a fight without firearms, he felt no fear.

Lin Zhiyan instantly breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiao Feng hadn't appeared in time, she could only imagine what would have happened to her.

Although Xiao Feng's appearance might be worthy of being called an accident, the fact remained unchanged.

Opposite Lin Zhiyan, the man unbuckling his belt froze suddenly, looking a bit bewildered.

"I really don't understand you clowns. Where do you get the courage to be this arrogant, thinking we're as easily bullied as decades ago?" Xiao Feng placed one hand behind his back, looking like an aloof sage.

"Are you a cop?" The hooked nose man asked after hearing the translation from the Asian-looking man beside him, his face turning sour.

Seeing everyone's attention drawn to him, Xiao Feng pressed the send button with the hand behind his back, sending the pre-edited message to Gong Kaishan, then grinned: "Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is that none of you will leave today."

On the second-floor platform, Li Ying was waiting for the right moment. Listening to Xiao Feng's words, she recalled the legend of Xiao Feng during the Yanhuang Period, and couldn't help but think: This is what a son of Huaxia should be like!

Just then, the hooked nose man sneered: "Really? I'd like to see how you alone dare to boast like this."

With that said, a dozen foreigners quickly ran into a nearby room and emerged with guns pointed at Xiao Feng.

Lin Zhiyan's pupils shrank with worry, but she noticed Xiao Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this scene.

"Now, you still dare to boast?" the hooked nose man laughed sinisterly.

Xiao Feng replied proudly: "These dozen lousy guns, are they your confidence?"

The hooked nose man furrowed his brow. At this point, the Huaxia man before him still showed no panic. Could it be that the other had a bomb strapped to himself?

Just pondering this, he saw Xiao Feng slowly reaching to unbutton his coat while saying with a laugh: "Watch closely, don't blink."

The hooked nose man's heart skipped a beat, cursing those cunning Huaxia people. If they opened fire now, everyone would die, does this mean they have to let the prey escape?

While speaking, Xiao Feng had already unbuttoned the first button, and everyone's heart was in their mouths.

And when he reached for the second button, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Feng carried Lin Jiaxuan onto his shoulder then dragged Lin Zhiyan as they ran towards downstairs.

"Damn it!" The hooked nose man's face turned purple with rage: "Chase them, don't let anyone escape, or we're all finished."

Xiao Feng was also quite helpless. Why is it that whenever he's feeling good about himself, there're always a dozen submachine guns pointing at him?

It's a problem worth pondering, but now is obviously not the right time.

Lin Jiaxuan clung onto Xiao Feng's shoulder. Although she couldn't move, she was still conscious enough to think.

This was the second time Xiao Feng carried her like this, but this time was completely different from the last with her feeling.

After running to the basement, Xiao Feng set Lin Jiaxuan down, quickly said: "Don't exit this building, surely someone is aiming at the entrance upstairs. Stay here, don't move, leave the rest to me!"

This unfinished building had been around for years, and its basement was divided by walls, seemingly meant for parking, appropriately serving as a temporary haven.

As Xiao Feng was about to leave, Lin Zhiyan and Li Ying simultaneously reached out to block him, clearly not planning to let him risk going alone.

Listening to the dense footsteps upstairs, Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said: "I've asked Gong Kaishan to call for backup, we only need to stall for five minutes. Try not to fire unless necessary."

With that said, Xiao Feng handed his gun to Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan was stunned: "The gun to me, what will you use?"

Xiao Feng smiled slightly, pulled a knife from his boot, and dashed away.

Li Ying closely followed and Lin Zhiyan, upon confirming her sister was merely temporarily immobilized, unlocked the safety and went out too.

The hooked nose man arrived at the basement entrance, angrily punched the wall: "Damn Huaxia dogs, once inside, capture the smaller one immediately, kill everyone else!"

These words echoed into the basement, amplified like a loudspeaker, Xiao Feng furrowed his brow: "Why are these foreigners so intent on capturing Lin Jiaxuan?"

Lin Zhiyan was equally puzzled and shook her head: "I don't know either."

Xiao Feng knew now wasn't the time for such discussions and silently calculated the time before giving orders: "We disperse, hide in various garages, three minutes left, focus on self-preservation rather than confronting the enemy."

"What about you?" Li Ying and Lin Zhiyan asked in unison.

Xiao Feng didn't respond, just smiled, and took the lead entering the nearest garage.

There's something he was shy to say: If it weren't for having them with him, Xiao Feng wouldn't even need to run!

Previously, these foreigners held Lin Jiaxuan hostage, but now without a hostage, Xiao Feng's mind started to become active.

Of course, during the Dutch Ranch incident, it was a special case with an open landscape and no place to hide; facing them head-on to the end was basically suicidal.

Once Xiao Feng settled, Li Ying took Lin Zhiyan back to the garage where Lin Jiaxuan was and entered.

Lin Zhiyan was somewhat confused, wasn't it agreed to disperse and hide, why pull her along while choosing her sister's location?

Due to Xiao Feng, Lin Zhiyan didn't suspect Li Ying, but now couldn't help feeling cautious: "What do you want?"

"Didn't Xiao Feng tell us to focus on self-preservation?" Li Ying quickly explained: "Later, I'll bind your sister on my back, then the two of us can press each other's shoulders and try to climb to the roof."

Lin Zhiyan's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"

With words matching actions, Li Ying quickly unbuckled, squatted down, tied herself tightly with Lin Jiaxuan, and prepared before looking at Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan wasn't indecisive. The two nodded to each other, pressed each other's shoulders, then with a foot against the wall began exerting force, the three lifted off the ground, cooperating seamlessly.

Upon reaching the rooftop, both breathed a sigh of relief; this was as good as done. As long as the searching ones below didn't look up, everything would be fine, the only concern left being Xiao Feng.

He was alone, hiding near the garage close to the basement entrance, with an exceedingly high risk of exposure...

Xiao Feng pressed tight against the wall, adjusted his breathing, clutching the knife with its tip downward, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

In the next second, footsteps sounded; clearly, someone had entered the basement.

"Search thoroughly, be quick, it's such a small space, they can't escape," the hooked nose man coldly ordered.

Xiao Feng was somewhat regretful; he wanted to capture the leader first - the hooked nose man - everything would then be easier, but didn't expect the hooked nose man to be so cautious, unwilling to go down himself.

Yet it's quite something, as the hooked nose man, being the chief among the foreigners, obviously wasn't stupid; he realized going down now would likely result in a life-for-a-life situation, and he wasn't keen on being the one to exchange lives.

"You guys, move forward!" A blond foreigner imperiously instructed, pointing toward Lin Zhiyan's former subordinates, as if he was innately superior.

A few exchanged glances, turned on their phone flashlights, and gloomily moved forward; they were currently unarmed, unable to project any defiance even if willing.

Additionally, they understood, this foreigner was waiting for someone to make the first move to set an example through death, no one wanted to be the first one killed.

Upon seeing the light, Xiao Feng laughed coldly, tempted to jump out and declare: "You all go ahead and die, if anyone passes through here, consider it my loss!"
