Chapter 73 - 72: Mysterious Person Attacks the Martial Arts Academy at Night
Without realizing it, an hour had passed. Ling Chen rubbed his somewhat sore and swollen eyes, tossed his phone aside, and prepared for a good night’s sleep. But at this moment, a barely audible sound came from outside the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
One... two... three... Ling Chen pricked up his ears, silently counting in his mind. A minute passed, and he slowly sat up, turning his head toward the door, his eyes narrowing slightly. Judging from the sounds just now, it seemed that more than ten people had climbed over the wall from outside.
In the middle of the night, to have such a large group of people stealthily infiltrating the Martial Arts Academy, their intentions were probably not simple. Recalling how Little Hua was kidnapped a while ago, a thought flashed through his mind—could it be those same people?
As thoughts raced through his mind, he quietly moved to the window and gently pushed it open a crack to peer into the courtyard. As expected, he saw more than a dozen dark figures scattered around the courtyard. With the faint moonlight, he could make out the equipment they carried. These people wore masks, each sporting night vision goggles, and carried guns equipped with silencers and infrared, donned bulletproof vests, and had smoke grenades hanging at their waists—a complete set of special forces combat gear.
Ling Chen inwardly was impressed; he didn’t know where these guys came from, but their equipment was even more complete than the military’s.
As he pondered, he saw the man in the center raise his hand over his head, signaling to the others. Immediately, the rest understood, dispersing and beginning to search each room.
Seeing a shadow approaching his direction, Ling Chen quickly ducked down, crouching beside the door, tensing his body like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Before long, a hand gently pushed open the door. Immediately after, the dark barrel of a gun was thrust through the gap. Ling Chen held his breath, motionless, pressing himself against the wall, trying to keep as low as possible to avoid detection.
