Chapter 1198 Scorpion Attack

Liu Jianming was looking at materials in his office when he suddenly felt a little hungry. He was on duty tonight and couldn't go out to eat, so he looked in his drawer and pulled out a cup of instant noodles.

"Luckily, I still have a cup of instant noodles. I need to buy some tomorrow to keep on hand, otherwise I'll be hungry tonight and there won't be anything to eat!"

He shook his head and smiled, picked up the instant noodles and walked towards the water dispenser. When he saw that there was only a little water left in the dispenser, he sighed helplessly and could only take the instant noodle container to another office to get some water.

He had just finished making instant noodles and was carrying them back to his office when he suddenly encountered a man in a police uniform in the hallway.

Liu Jianming didn't pay much attention at first, but instead smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.

The man in the police uniform was Scorpion. Upon seeing Liu Jianming, he decisively stood aside, lowered his head, and made a gesture of avoidance.

However, Liu Jianming suddenly noticed that the other party seemed to have never seen this person before. Although the person was looking down and the police hat was covering their face, making it impossible for him to see their full appearance, it was very suspicious for them to be wearing a police hat so late at night.

Why are you wearing a police hat so late at night, when there are no calls to be made?

This made him slow his pace slightly, and he said, "I'm hungry so late at night. I'll have some instant noodles. Do you want some? I have some more!"

Scorpion was tense all over, but relaxed slightly after hearing this. He lowered his head and said, "No need, sir, I'm not hungry!"

Liu Jianming smiled and said, "Okay, if you get hungry, come find me. I have plenty of instant noodles." As he spoke, he continued walking forward, as if he had not noticed anything suspicious.

The two passed each other, and just as Scorpion turned around and took a step, he suddenly turned around, a gleaming dagger appearing in his hand, and lunged at Liu Jianming.

But what awaited him was a bucket of scalding hot instant noodles.

"what!"

Soup, instant noodles, and various other ingredients were smeared all over the scorpion's face. It was originally just boiling water, but with the addition of seasoning packets, it soaked the scorpion's eyes. From its painful screams, one could clearly see the scorpion's suffering at that moment.

Despite his cries of pain, Scorpion didn't stop what he was doing. He waved the dagger rapidly in front of him, while simultaneously raising his other arm to wipe his face with his clothes.

Liu Jianming was not carrying any guns. Who the hell carries a gun when they go to get instant noodles?

In the instant they passed each other, he saw the gun on the other person's waist and immediately determined that it was not a police gun.

From this, he could confirm the other person's identity; they were definitely not a police officer.

Therefore, he was always on guard against his opponent. He almost made a move when they passed each other. He didn't know if the scorpion sensed something or what, but chose to make a move after they passed each other.

During this time, Liu Jianming kept the instant noodle bucket in his hand ready to be thrown at any moment, and kept his eyes fixed on the other party's movements, on guard.

Ultimately, both sides chose to make their move the instant after they crossed paths. However, Liu Jianming threw away the instant noodles and quickly ran towards the office, where his gun was still.

He didn't choose to shout. The other party had a gun, and for a skilled assassin, shooting with his eyes closed wasn't difficult. So, he chose to kick the trash can as he passed by.

"Clang~ Bang bang~!"

A series of sounds rang out, and the sounds were very clear in the night. The police officers on duty also heard the noise and immediately sent two people to check the situation, while the others continued to keep watch.

However, they all cautiously drew their guns, and after suffering two losses, none of them dared to be careless again.

After hearing the sound of the trash can, Scorpion wiped his face and eyes with his clothes, enduring the pain and discomfort, and barely opened his eyes to glance at Liu Jianming who was running.

However, due to his damaged eyesight, he could not see clearly.

This situation made the scorpion grit its teeth, choose not to give chase, and instead turn and run.

He's an assassin, not a suicide squad member. In a situation where the operation is clearly failing, it's not something he would do to chase after the enemy or fight them head-on.

Taking money to do a job doesn't mean you have to put yourself in the same boat.

Liu Jianming noticed this as well and immediately shouted, "Attention everyone! There are intruders! They're wearing police uniforms! Seal off all entrances and exits immediately! No one is allowed to leave!"

He didn't give chase. He had no weapon, and even if he did, it would be difficult to subdue the other party. He was good with a gun, but not so good at hand-to-hand combat, about the same level as an ordinary police officer in the Major Crimes Unit.

Without a gun in hand, one lacks confidence.

There were quite a few police officers on duty at the police station building at night, and after hearing Liu Jianming's shout, the whole building became lively.

After running to the office and grabbing the gun, Liu Jianming didn't delay and quickly turned around and chased after them.

Lau Kin-ming's rank was not low; he was one of the top officers on duty. He stood by the window and shouted, "I am Senior Superintendent Lau Kin-ming. Immediately seal off the entire police station. No one is allowed to leave."

The fleeing scorpion also heard these words, which made his heart tremble. However, he gritted his teeth and continued to go downstairs. At this point, hiding was useless; he would be found sooner or later.

The only saving grace is that he is now wearing a police uniform, which is his only chance of survival.

He had already planned his escape route; once he reached the back of the police station building, he could escape through the sewers.

Suddenly, two police officers appeared in front of Scorpion. Before they could speak, he quickly shouted, "Have you seen the criminals?"

This surprised the two officers for a moment, and they replied, "No, we also heard the noise and were planning to come and check it out."

As they drew near, a dagger suddenly appeared in Scorpion's hand, and he swung it toward the neck of one of the officers. Before the officer could react, his throat was slit.

Another officer immediately retaliated, drawing his gun to fire, but Scorpion dodged the shot and continued to swing his dagger, instantly slashing his arm.

"what!"

The pain and weakness caused him to drop the police gun from his hand.

However, the officer did not give up. At this critical moment, he roared and charged directly at the scorpion.

The scorpion hadn't expected its opponent to be so fierce. It was knocked back and staggered, taking two steps back. However, because its body was tilted, the area of ​​impact wasn't large, and it didn't fall down.

The police officer who hit him also fell to the ground due to the excessive force.

Seeing this, the scorpion had no intention of finishing off the enemy and continued to flee.
