**************************

As Huang Haifa spoke, he kept sneering, making everyone want to punch him.

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood. Huang Haifa had been operating in Huanghai City for many years and had risen to the level of a tycoon. If he didn't know how to protect his reputation, he would be truly foolish.

Indeed, a guy like him would never personally get involved in such business, even though he was managing it for his older brother, Huang Hengfa. He definitely wouldn't be the one leading the charge.

Places like the Paramount Nightclub make money quickly, but they also come with a lot of trouble. Therefore, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't stand in the front, but would choose to stay behind the scenes.

Huang Haifa is a smart man; how could he not think of this?

The Paramount Nightclub could be run by a hired general manager, and he could be a major shareholder who operates behind the scenes. When something goes wrong, he could hand over the general manager and remain unscathed.

Seeing the fleeting shock on Li Xiang's face, Huang Haifa felt a surge of satisfaction. He had been at a disadvantage all night, and this was the first time he had the upper hand. "You want to catch me? You're still too young!"

Li Xiang didn't speak but looked past him. Behind Huang Haifa were the three people whose IDs he had checked earlier.

To others, those three were distinctive-looking, but to Li Xiang, they were demons.

However, this is a society governed by law. They appeared as individuals, so you can't just arrest them because they are demons.

When Huang Haifa saw Li Xiang's gaze shift to his back, he also felt an inexplicable tension, clearly indicating that those three were important to him.

"Officer Li, if there's nothing else, can we leave now?"

Afraid of disturbing the three distinguished guests behind him, Huang Haifa didn't want to tangle with Li Xiang any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But Li Xiang smiled slightly. The more the other party didn't want to tangle, the more he wanted to. After all, the more uncomfortable Huang Haifa was, the happier Li Xiang was.

Just as he was about to find a reason to detain them, there were two sharp sounds from upstairs.

Li Xiang's ears perked up, and he immediately identified them as gunshots. Something was happening upstairs.

Huang Haifa's face also changed abruptly. Using a gun in the Paramount Nightclub, especially during a police inspection, who the hell had the nerve to do that?

This is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

He wasn't afraid of the inspection this time. At worst, he would be fined, hand over a manager, and then close for a month for rectification before continuing the nightly revelry.

But now someone was using a gun in his nightclub. Wasn't this cutting off his source of income?

If any police officers were killed or injured, his nightclub would have to close, and he might even be in trouble himself.

Killing a police officer is a serious crime. If the police were really angered, they could nail him down in no time.

"Ha ha, Mr. Huang, your nightclub is really something. Xiao Li, come over here and watch over Mr. Huang and his people. Protect their safety. When things are over, take them to the police station to collect their testimonies."

Gunfire soon erupted upstairs, getting louder and more chaotic. The walkie-talkie in An Jianing's hand, who was standing behind Li Xiang, was filled with a cacophony of gunshots, calls for backup, and the cries of wounded officers.

Li Xiang didn't want to waste time here. He called over a special forces officer to watch over the people in the room, then turned and led the remaining three special forces officers upstairs to provide support.

But just as they turned, a violent explosion sounded overhead, and everyone felt the ground shake. All the lights in the room suddenly went out, and dust and debris rained down from the ceiling. Chandeliers, concrete fragments, rebar, and bricks fell from above.

At first, everyone thought it was an earthquake, and many people immediately hit the ground. But the strange movement overhead left everyone speechless.

When they came to their senses, they realized that the ceiling had been blown open, creating a large hole.

Before anyone could react, two black dots were thrown down from upstairs. Li Xiang's eagle eyes gave him exceptional dynamic vision.

He could see that the two black dots were grenades even before they hit the ground.

Without time to think, he turned and tackled An Jianing to the ground. The grenades exploded in mid-air. Fortunately, they were attack grenades with strong shockwaves but few shrapnel.

Still, the shockwave threw Li Xiang far, and he flew through the air, crashing into the wall. Fortunately, the bear's strength had given him a bear-like physique. Though not as robust as a bear, he was still tough.

If an ordinary person had taken such a hit, they would have broken several bones and been in the hospital for months. But Li Xiang only felt dizzy and in pain.

After a few deep breaths, he gradually came to his senses. His ears were ringing, and his vision was blurry. After a while, the ringing subsided, and his vision began to focus, and his consciousness returned to normal.

He slowly raised his head and saw a scene that made his blood boil. Two men in black trench coats were finishing off the wounded special forces officers on the ground.

These two in black trench coats must have jumped down from the hole in the ceiling. The grenades they threw had caught Li Xiang and the special forces officers off guard.

Li Xiang was fine, with his enhanced physical strength, but the special forces officers didn't have his abnormal physique and hadn't reacted as quickly. The shockwave had severely injured them, and they were now lying on the ground, unable to move.

And those two men in black weren't sparing even the wounded.

One of them shot a special forces officer in the head and then looked up at Li Xiang with a grin. Li Xiang's heart sank. It was him.

He recognized this man; he was one of the two drug dealers who had escaped during the rainstorm a while ago.
