Chapter 167 A Fish That Escaped the Net

When attacking the three people in front of him, Zhou Xin didn't even look at them; he was simply firing blindly based on his memory of their positions.

As he fired the shot, his gaze had already passed over the two people at the door and landed on the five people on the sofa inside the room.

The three shots that struck the three men between the eyebrows were completed in almost two seconds, leaving the people inside the house completely unaware of what was happening.

The moment the third shot was fired, before the two men shot at the door could even fall, he had already slipped past them and entered the house.

During this period, in addition to practicing shooting, he and Edward Alo also underwent high-intensity physical training, and now his physical strength and speed have improved significantly.

He had already killed the three people in front of him in the blink of an eye and entered the house.

Only then did the people on the sofa react, instinctively reaching for their guns.

But Zhou Xin clearly wouldn't give them that chance.

He had already noted the location of several people while looking out from the doorway, and now, without even aiming, he fired directly into the house.

The first three shots hit him squarely between the eyebrows, but the two men behind, including Finn, were already on guard. Seeing that there was no time to retaliate, they quickly rolled off the sofa, dodging Zhou Xin's fatal bullets.

Missing his first attack, Zhou Xin immediately rolled away and hid in the corner of the kitchen next door.

Bang bang bang bang—

The two who had dodged the attack began to fight back, and a barrage of bullets whistled through the air, hitting the wall.

If Zhou Xin had taken cover a few seconds later, he might have already been hit by a bullet.

"Who are you?" Finn shouted, firing several more shots.

While Zhou Xin was hiding, the two of them also hid in another corner.

Zhou Xin, recalling the conversation he had just overheard, had a sudden inspiration and said in a deep voice, "Russell knows about your dealings and sent me to teach you a lesson!"

Judging from their conversation, Russell is likely a drug lord who sells old-fashioned drugs. The group was originally working with him, but seeing the market being impacted by new drugs and their business declining, they decided to secretly sell new drugs behind Russell's back.

His casual ramblings startled the two of them.

"Yes—I'm sorry, please tell Mr. Russell that we know we were wrong, please give us a chance!"

Finn instantly lost his previous arrogance, his voice trembling, clearly terrified.

It seems Russell must wield considerable power, otherwise he wouldn't have been so frightened.

"Hmph, it's probably a bit too late to admit your mistakes now. However, Mr. Russell also said that he would spare your lives in consideration of the many things you've done for him," Zhou Xin continued to deceive.

"Thank you, Mr. Russell. We will definitely not have any other thoughts, and from now on we will cooperate wholeheartedly with Mr. Russell!"

"I haven't finished speaking. I can spare you, but you must do as he demands!"

"No problem, as long as Mr. Russell forgives us, we'll do anything!" Finn said repeatedly.

"First, hand over the gold you just stole!"

Zhou Xin didn't see the wooden box on the table, so he knew they must have already put the gold away. To avoid any complications, he decided to trick them into handing it over themselves.

"How—how did Mr. Russell know—"

"Nothing you do can be hidden from Mr. Russell, so I advise you to stop plotting anything!"

Finn's face was deathly pale, seemingly terrified of Russell and completely devoid of any will to resist.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away. Please don't shoot."

He raised his hands and walked out from the corner, seemingly having given up the resistance.

Seeing that the leader had given up resisting, the other person also raised his hands and stepped forward.

"One person can go in and get it!" Zhou Xin's voice was icy.

Although the two seem to have surrendered, if they have hidden an AK or something in the house, he might find himself in a passive position again.

"Jaeger, you wait for me here!" Finn said as he walked into the room where they had just taken out the goods.

Zhou Xin peeked at Jaeger, who was raising his hand, and memorized his position and posture.

A moment later, a thud was heard outside on the first floor, followed by a scream.

Oh no, that guy jumped out the window and escaped.

boom!

Before Yeager could even beg for mercy, Zhou Xin sent him to hell with a single shot.

Then he ran quickly into the room and, sure enough, saw that the windows were wide open and Finn was nowhere to be seen.

He cautiously peeked out of the window.

Bang bang bang!

Sparks flew from the window, and all the glass shattered.

Fortunately, Zhou Xin was well prepared and dodged the bullets by slightly shifting his body to the side.

Hearing footsteps approaching and receding from downstairs, he knew Finn had run out of bullets and was preparing to escape.

He poked his head out and shot at his back.

boom!

A bullet struck Finn squarely in the back, and he fell to the ground, the wooden box he was holding flying away.

Fortunately, he had locked the wooden box, so the gold did not spill out.

The shot hit him in the back, but it wasn't fatal.

He struggled to his feet and, incredibly, jumped into a nearby uncovered sewer manhole.

Zhou Xin put away his gun, hurriedly ran out the door and downstairs, heading towards the sewer well.

Because Finn landed behind the house, and it took Zhou Xin several minutes to get there after going around several buildings.

Just then, a homeless man walked over and curiously picked up the wooden box from the ground.

"Put it down!"

Zhou Xin raised his gun and aimed it at the homeless man, his voice icy.

The homeless man turned around and saw a gun aimed at him. He was so frightened that he dropped the wooden box and raised his hands.

"Get out of here!"

Upon hearing Zhou Xin's order, the homeless man dared not linger any longer and fled the place as quickly as possible.

Zhou Xin picked up the box and weighed it in his hand, and knew that the gold was still there.

He walked to the manhole and looked down. He saw murky rainwater and sewage flowing through the pipes at the bottom of the manhole. It seemed that Finn had escaped through the pipes.

Looking at the stench emanating from the sewer, Zhou Xin really didn't want to jump down and give chase.

Anyway, the gold has been retrieved, and I just concealed my identity. Even if he survives, he will only think that Russell's men stole the gold, and will not suspect me.

The intense gunfire has already attracted attention, and the police should arrive soon.

Zhou Xin didn't linger any longer. He returned to the spot where he had changed clothes, put back the clothes he had left there, and planned to leave immediately.

As he passed by Casey's tent, he saw it shaking incessantly and heard indescribable sounds coming from inside.

It seems she has already secured her next client.

The gunshots hadn't caught their attention, as such sounds were common in the area and nothing unusual.

Zhou Xin sighed inwardly, walked back to where he had parked his car, and drove away.
