Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 307 - 279: Retreat Route

The burly man had thought that joining the battle, even if he might not subdue Lin Tian, he would be able to restrain him.

However, the reality was extremely brutal, his joining did nothing to stop Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, relying on the advantage of speed, first took down all the men in black and only then did he deal with the burly man.

The burly man indeed had some skills, but he only lasted a few more moves than the men in black before Lin Tian knocked him over.

"Help!"

Just then, Ah San and Ghost Shadow were in dire straits, facing over a dozen men in black, both having sustained injuries.

Ah San had taken a bullet in the shoulder, while Ghost Shadow had been shot in the thigh.

The men in black had cornered the two.

Seeing Lin Tian’s bravery, Ah San immediately yelled out for help.

"Protect yourselves, I’ll deal with them."

Lin Tian charged at the men in black, shouting as he ran.

"Your leader is down, do you still want to continue?"

When the men in black heard Lin Tian’s words, their attack slowed, and they immediately noticed that the burly man was down, his life hanging by a thread.

They had just witnessed Lin Tian’s ghost-like speed, which was simply not something their handguns could contend with.

However, they still didn’t retreat but instead rushed crazily toward Ghost Shadow and Ah San.

"Seeking death!"

Enraged, Lin Tian’s speed doubled, and several of the men in black didn’t even reach Ghost Shadow and Ah San before being knocked down by Lin Tian one by one.

After dealing with the last of the men in black, Lin Tian approached Ghost Shadow and Ah San.

"Who among you is in charge of the shadow division?"

"I, my name is Ah San, I’m in charge here. Lin Tian, are you here for me today?"

"You actually know I’m Lin Tian?"

Lin Tian was stunned. He had never met this Ah San, yet Ah San had called out his name without hesitation.

The intelligence capabilities of the Shadow were indeed exceptional. Lin Tian’s expectations of getting information about Zhang Ya from the Shadow increased.

"Recently in Wu’an City, there have been several major events involving you."

Ghost Shadow had been silent the whole time, letting Ah San speak for him.

"The reputation of the Shadow is well-deserved, but we can’t stay here long, the police should be arriving soon. Let’s change locations to talk."

The recent gunfire had likely alerted the authorities who would soon intervene.

Lin Tian wanted to discuss matters with the Shadow, naturally without police interference.

"Mr. Lin, you are absolutely right, I have a secret passage here that leads to a safe place. Follow me."

Ah San had taken a bullet to the shoulder, his entire shoulder soaked in blood, but his face showed no sign of pain, as if the person who took the bullet wasn’t him.

He supported Ghost Shadow as they entered a dark room inside.

This place seemed to be an underground casino used to monitor the entire casino, with dozens of monitors observing every corner of the casino. Your next chapter is on novelbuddy

"This way, please!"

Under Ah San’s lead, the three quickly arrived in a lounge. Ah San flipped a switch, then tapped lightly above it.

The floor of the lounge suddenly split open to reveal a square entrance, and a staircase twisted down into the dark, unclear below.

"Going through this tunnel will take us to a safe place."

"Let me help you support him; you’re injured too."

Lin Tian saw Ah San still needed to take care of Ghost Shadow, who had an injured leg, and offered to help.

But Ah San hesitated, as Ghost Shadow was the leader of the Shadow and his safety was much more critical than Ah San’s life. If possible, Ah San would definitely not entrust Ghost Shadow’s care to someone else.

"Mr. Lin, then I’ll trouble you."

Ghost Shadow, however, readily agreed, allowing Lin Tian to support him as they descended into the secret passage.

Once inside the passage, Ah San felt for the switch and closed the entrance to the tunnel.

"Once closed from inside the tunnel, the switches above will be disabled. To open the tunnel entrance, you must exit through this tunnel."

Ah San couldn’t help but boast, clearly proud of his design.

"It’s a pity, I’m afraid this place won’t be usable anymore,"

Ah San had been running an underground casino, and now with the shootout, there was no way he could return.

However, there wasn’t much disappointment on Ah San’s face.

"No matter, the place can be replaced, but the people are what’s most important."

This time, by bravely saving Ghost Shadow, Ah San might be able to further advance his position as the head of this division.

In reality, the true savior of Ghost Shadow was Lin Tian, but since Lin Tian was not part of the Shadow, most of the credit would fall on Ah San.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, you came looking for me for something? You saved my life this time, so please feel free to ask anything."

Lin Tian didn’t just say it casually, this time he really saved Ghost Shadow, which equated to saving the entire underworld.

Lin Tian didn’t know, that the man who only showed his eyes was the leader of the underworld, Ghost Shadow.

He merely felt that this fortuitous rescue of the person in charge of Wu’an’s underworld division meant his negotiation about finding Zhang Ya should now be easier.

"Don’t say it like that. I came to the underworld today because I need your help. It’s complicated and can’t be explained in haste. Let’s find a safe place first and tend to your wounds."

"Yes, yes, let’s get moving."

The tunnel was long, and according to Lin Tian’s feeling, it must have gone directly from the underground casino they had just left, crossed the street, and reached the opposite side.

Soon, Lin Tian surprisingly saw an elevator. It was an elevator specifically used for this secret passage.

After getting on the elevator, Ah San pressed a red button inside.

The secret passage they had just passed through made a loud bang, as if it had been filled in immediately.

"That place is no longer of use, but who would have thought, we haven’t gone far, just across the street."

The elevator didn’t go down but went up instead.

Soon, it reached the top floor, and when the elevator opened, Lin Tian found himself and the two others had arrived in a luxurious room.

"Third Master, what happened?"

A beautiful OL dressed in a white shirt and pencil skirt approached.

The woman was probably in her mid-twenties, with a curvaceous figure and delicate facial features.

"First, tend our injuries."

The beautiful woman naturally started by treating Ah San’s wounds. Ah San was about to let her treat Ghost Shadow first, but a look from Ghost Shadow stopped him.

Ah San immediately understood that Ghost Shadow didn’t want others to know his identity and wanted Ah San to take charge here.

The beautiful woman seemed to have been professionally trained. She took out a small medical kit, grabbed a small knife, cut open Ah San’s clothes first, and then directly removed the bullet. Her technique was extremely professional, and Ah San didn’t utter a sound during the entire process.

"Hurry and treat him too, see if you can save his leg."

A few minutes later, Ah San’s shoulder was bandaged, and he immediately ordered the beautiful woman to tend to Ghost Shadow’s gunshot wound on his leg.

Compared to the wound on Ah San’s shoulder, the leg wound was easier to treat, and it was bandaged in about ten minutes.

"Alright, take care of these things. We might have to stay here for a few days. Don’t let anyone else in."

"Yes, Third Master."

At this moment, Lin Tian was standing in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, looking through the glass at the opposite side.

Sirens flashed from about a dozen police cars, which had completely surrounded the area across the street.

People were continuously being escorted out by the police.

But who would have thought that the leader of the underground casino was watching them from a location less than two hundred meters away from the scene?

"Your escape route is ingeniously designed. I guess no one would expect that you hadn’t gone far but were hiding right here."

"You flatter me. In our line of work, the risks are high, and if we aren’t well-prepared, lives are easily lost. By the way, Mr. Lin, what exactly do you need from us?"

Since Ghost Shadow had no intention of revealing his identity, Ah San took charge.

Lin Tian glanced suspiciously at Ghost Shadow, wondering about his real identity since Ah San hadn’t forgotten to take him along while escaping and seemed to hold great respect for him.

He didn’t ponder much, as his involvement with the underworld was solely to obtain information about Zhang Ya through them.

"How much information do you underworld have on me, and do you know everything recent that’s related to me?"

"The last piece of information about you seemed to be that you were searching for a woman named Zhang Ya."

"It’s really the underworld, knowing even that! Truly worthy of the famous intelligence agency!"

"It’s not that our capability is strong. That night, the entire Wu’an police force was mobilized—it was such a big fuss, it would be hard not to know."

That day, Lin Tian had sought out Zhong Guo, mobilizing all of Wu’an City’s police force, but the results were still grim.

"I need to find a person, a very dangerous person; I must find her and kill her."

Lin Tian’s expression suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

"Is it Zhang Ya?"

"Exactly. I know the rules of the underworld; state your price for the information, but I need detailed intelligence on her whereabouts after she escaped from Wu’an."

Ah San remained silent, frowned in thought, secretly glancing at Ghost Shadow.

"You saved my life, so our underworld can offer you one service free of charge."

Ghost Shadow spoke, his voice still hoarse.

Lin Tian was startled and turned to look at Ah San.

"Mr. Lin, this gentleman is an important figure in our underworld. He happened to visit me today. We didn’t expect to be ambushed. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Lin, it wouldn’t have been just me; even our underworld’s big shot might have fallen here. This man can fully represent our underworld."

Observing this important figure, Lin Tian could sense that although the man was concealed in a robe, the eyes that were visible were bright and authoritative, reflecting the dignity of long-held power.

"Then I must thank you. I hope that you can quickly gather the intelligence on Zhang Ya, as she is very important to me. Whatever funds you need, feel free to contact me."

"Mr. Lin, as I said earlier, our underworld can provide you this service once for free. Rest assured, I can notify our headquarters right now to start gathering intelligence on Zhang Ya immediately."
