It was somewhat understandable, after all. If that guy had still been conscious, they would have been able to find them using the single flashlight they had. This flashlight was part of the satellite phone belonging to the criminal leader. The flashlight was now in Scarface's hand, as it would greatly enhance his abilities when combined with his hearing.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng began to assess the surrounding resources. He smiled as he noticed the many pillars in the warehouse. Now, it was time for the silver needles to do their work.
Suddenly, a silver needle flew through the silent warehouse, whistling towards Scarface in the distance.
"Careful, hidden weapon!" Scarface shouted, dropping to the ground. Indeed, his hearing was incredible; he had actually heard the sound of the flying needle. Following his shout, the criminals behind him immediately ducked. The needle flew over them and struck a concrete pillar.
"Clang!" The sound of the falling silver needle wasn't very clear, but after all this time, it had served its purpose. Li Qingfeng felt a pang of regret that none of them had been hit.
"What a shame!" he muttered with a sigh.
The next second, he saw Scarface's ear twitch, and his eyes widened in shock. My goodness, he could even hear that.
Scarface shouted to Viper, who was lying prone above them, "Viper, southeast at 120 degrees!"
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng's body jolted. "Not good, get out of the way!" This was his first thought. Just as he moved from his hiding spot behind a pillar, he heard a suppressed gunshot.
"Whoosh…" accompanied by a faint gust of wind, a bullet, inconspicuous in the darkness, appeared. After colliding with the concrete pillar, the bullet caused a small explosion, shattering a large chunk of concrete. This was an armor-piercing round, typically used by anti-materiel sniper rifles. He hadn't expected Viper to have such high-end equipment.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng's pupils constricted. "It looks like I need to finish this quickly!" With this thought, Li Qingfeng rapidly threw silver needles, targeting three different directions.
As the needles flew, Scarface suddenly cried out, "Everyone, careful, the needles are coming." As expected, upon hearing Scarface's warning, everyone backed away. However, Li Qingfeng had learned from his previous attempt; he had thrown the needles downwards this time. With a whoosh, three members of the criminal gang fell. With their fall, only one member of the gang remained in the warehouse: Scarface.
"Who are you?" Scarface shouted, hiding behind a concrete pillar.
Hearing Scarface's flustered shout, Li Qingfeng activated his X-ray vision again and located his position. As he took two or three steps forward, the rapid burst of an AK-47 erupted next to him. A large number of bullets sprayed around him, and for a moment, Li Qingfeng felt the icy grip of death. Fortunately, Scarface, perhaps in his panic, had emptied the entire magazine. The crisp sound of falling casings echoed in the distance, filling Li Qingfeng with a sense of oppression.
Thankfully, after a few tens of seconds, Scarface's magazine was empty. Li Qingfeng quickly moved forward a few meters. However, it was of no use. Because the criminals had been standing close together earlier, Scarface had three more guns near him. He casually picked up another one and pointed it towards the darkness in the southeast, shouting again, "Hiding and peeking, what kind of skill is that? Dare you reveal your name?"
"Do you really want to know! Then listen carefully, I have no other name, and I have no other surname. I am Li Qingfeng!" After speaking, Li Qingfeng casually threw two more silver needles, startling Scarface into ducking down again.
At this moment, Qin Bingran, who had already begun to lose hope, heard his name and her eyes widened. Countless thoughts raced through her mind. "He's just a normal person. How did he get here? He wouldn't be injured by all those gunshots, would he?" Qin Bingran almost shouted for him to escape, but then she remembered Scarface's terrifying hearing and forced herself to stay silent. If anyone were to look at Qin Bingran now, they would see tears streaming down her face.
Meanwhile, Scarface, with curiosity, asked, "Li Qingfeng? Where did you come from?" Hearing the name, Scarface was momentarily stunned. He was certain he had never heard this name before.
"I just walked in, how else could I have come?"
"Do you have a grudge against us?"
"I don't have any grudge against you. I just happened to pass by." Li Qingfeng said, hearing this. To be honest, he really had no enmity with these people.
Thinking this, Li Qingfeng spoke, "I came here... it was actually a coincidence. I originally intended to take something from here, but who knew you guys had occupied my territory?" He was improvising now, figuring the guy in front of him might actually believe it. To Li Qingfeng's surprise, after hearing his words, Scarface actually believed him.
"What were you going to take?"
"It's something very precious, immeasurable by money." Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Scarface thought it was some priceless treasure, and a greedy glint appeared in his eyes. However, Li Qingfeng's next words completely deflated him. "This thing... it can only be understood, not explained in words. Perhaps it's a girl's heart!"
"What kind of nonsense is that? Are you joking with me?" Hearing this, Scarface became truly enraged. He raised his AK and started firing uncontrollably. He had figured out that as long as he maintained suppressive fire, Li Qingfeng wouldn't be able to advance.
Li Qingfeng looked at the fiery muzzle flashes dancing above him, his expression grave. He only had three silver needles left in his hand; this was his last chance. Moreover, his silver needles had only grazed the pressure points on the heads of the criminals, causing them to temporarily lose consciousness, which was why he needed to finish this quickly.
Meanwhile, the leader of the criminal gang was on the south gate, looking back. "Boss, it seems like there's a fight breaking out behind us. Should we go and check?" The real Shanji, standing beside him, asked, looking at the criminal leader.
Hearing his words, the criminal leader shook his head. Criminal Leader: "No need to go. If I'm not mistaken, our men have probably all been taken care of by that one person!"
"What? How is that possible? Scarface and the others have all been through hell." Shanji found the criminal leader's words hard to believe. However, the criminal leader calmly waved his hand and said to him, "Call Li Xuelin and have them send a car over. Say we're about to carry out the exchange."
"Huh?" Hearing the criminal leader's words, Shanji didn't understand but complied. After the criminal leader directly shot the hostage in the arm, Li Xuelin immediately sent a car without hesitation.
With the car secured, the criminal leader directly called Scarface.
"Ring, ring!" In the otherwise silent warehouse, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence. Scarface was about to reject the call, but upon seeing the number, he picked it up.
Criminal Leader: "How many of you are left?"
Scarface: "Just me."
Criminal Leader: "Who is it on the other side?"
Scarface: "I don't know them either. It's an outsider, named Li Qingfeng!"
Hearing the name, the criminal leader immediately hung up the phone. Looking out at the darkness, he slowly uttered the name, "Li Qingfeng!"
