153 Night Attack
When Shi Man heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong. She did not ask Shi Zhong where this happened. Instead, she used the excuse of returning to her room to change and went online to read the latest news.
As expected, the location of the gun battle was Immaculate’s stronghold.
After she went downstairs and quickly finished dinner, she ignored the others’ requests to stay and chat. She used tiredness as an excuse and returned to her room to lock the door. She changed into clothes suitable for moving in the dark. She carried her pistol and jumped out of the Shi family.
By the time she arrived at the location of the gunfight, there was already a cordon everywhere. The police were searching for the hiding place of the two groups of people.

Shi Man frowned and looked around. It was not easy for her to find a trace. She walked along the path into the depths and saw Sean and the others in a remote hut.
When Sean saw Shi Man, he immediately held her hand in surprise. He could not help but cry, “Boss, you’re finally here to seek justice for us!”
“Who did it?” Shi Man helped Sean sit up and looked at their injuries carefully. Seeing that they were only slightly bruised, she was slightly relieved.
“It must be the people from Hellgate!” Sean said with certainty. “I’ve dealt with them before and know that they’re all used to having a skull tattoo on their wrists. I saw it clearly this time. Everyone in the group who attacked had this mark on their hands.”
“Hellgate?” Shi Man was not very clear about the division of power in this world. She asked in confusion, “What do the people of Hellgate have to do with us?”
Sean coughed awkwardly and reminded her with a faint gaze, “Boss, in G City, Hellgate’s power could be ranked second! But now, under your guidance, our brothers are becoming stronger day by day. Not long ago, we did a few missions and snatched a lot of Hellgate’s business. It might be because of this that they targeted us.”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes dangerously. If anyone dared to touch her people, they had to ask for permission from the silver gun in her hand.
Sean could see the anger in her eyes and could not help but persuade her. “Boss, it’s not the most important thing that we suffered this time. However, if they still target us in the future, I’m afraid Immaculate will not be able to survive in G City.”
“Where’s that batch of firearms?” Shi Man’s voice was deep as she referred to the batch of firearms Yi Zheng had sent.
Sean was overjoyed. He slapped his thigh and rejoiced. “Fortunately, the boss over there sent someone to remind us yesterday that a faction has been secretly investigating Immaculate. My brothers and I hid that batch of goods overnight. Just now, the people from the Hellgate barged into the stronghold to snatch our treasures. Unfortunately, they’re destined to not be able to find anything!”
“You said he sent someone to remind you yesterday?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly. Thinking of Yi Zheng’s strange overtures recently, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had seen through something.
Sean nodded and said proudly, “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Boss’s shrewdness and ability that we can be allies with such a huge force! Recently, we’ve been able to receive so many rewarding missions because of the other party’s help behind the scenes. We’re not fools. We can naturally tell that without them, we probably wouldn’t have risen so quickly.”
Shi Man sneered and did not echo his words. Instead, she asked coldly, “Where’s the stronghold of the Hellgate you mentioned?”
“Boss! You’re not going to do a sneak attack on their nest alone, are you?” Sean stood up in shock. Ignoring the pain of the wound on his body, he could not help but advise anxiously, “This won’t do. It’s too dangerous. Let’s wait for our brothers to recover before planning an operation together!”
“That’s right! Boss, you can’t take the risk!” The other mercenaries hurriedly echoed.
They now knew how wise Sean’s decision to acknowledge Shi Man as his boss was. If not for Shi Man, they would not have been able to reach their current heights even if they had worked hard for more than ten years.
Shi Man glanced at them coldly and said faintly, “There’s no reason for them to retreat unscathed. I’ll send them a big gift.”
Sean pondered for a moment and suddenly made up his mind. He nodded solemnly and said, “Boss is right. Then I’ll go with you!”
“No need.” Shi Man patted his shoulder and asked him to sit down. She threw them a bank card and said slowly, “Tell me the address and find a place to recuperate in peace.”
Sean was still worried and could not help but advise, “Why don’t we wait for the few of us to act together?”
Shi Man glanced at him unhappily and frowned. “Since when can you question my decision?”
The few of them hurriedly lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to say anything else. After telling Shi Man about one of the strongholds of the Hellgate that they knew, they handed the remaining bullets to Shi Man. “Boss, you don’t want us to move with you, but you have to bring these so that we can be at ease.”
“Yes.” Shi Man took the bullets that were suitable for her gun and put them away. She turned around and entered the night.
