Chapter 1032: Chapter 690: Enemy Comes Knocking (Part 1)

Two months had passed since the end of the last incident, and the weather had gradually grown cooler. The events from before slowly faded away, eventually burying themselves in a corner of everyone’s hearts, no longer spoken of.

Well, actually, it seemed like they didn’t have any time to think about those things now.

Why?

Having been training at the base continuously, Mu Lin thought about inviting other Special Forces teams for joint live-fire exercises, which took place in a jungle on the border of China. The idea was mutual progress, of course! Little did they expect that within less than a day into their exercises, they had already caught someone’s eye.

If they hadn’t reacted quickly and spotted the danger early, some of them might have gotten shot.

All of them immediately switched their blanks for live rounds, and the field exercise turned into real combat, carefully observing their surroundings.

The opposing force had snipers, and not just one—their presence was confirmed just moments ago.

The Ying Sun team pursed their lips.

It so happened that they had been itching for action after two months without a mission, and now these people had just shown up on their doorstep. Good, very good, excellent even! That’s what made it interesting!

Gunfire echoed around their ears, but aside from excitement, there was nothing else on the faces of the Ying Sun team; oh right, there was also vigilance and caution.

From the moment of initial contact, they could feel that their opponents were undoubtedly skilled.

Only, they hadn’t expected that their so-called "mercenaries’ forbidden area" would actually be invaded by foreign mercenaries this time, and judging by their manner, it seemed they were targeting them specifically.

The audacity—quite bold, indeed.

Elsewhere.

Inside the combat vehicle, Jing Chen and Mu Lin watched everything unfolding before them with cold eyes.

As a military doctor, Mu Lin didn’t need to participate in this exercise; in Ying Sun, unless necessary, Mu Lin’s role was always supportive.

This exercise’s mode was hands-off, letting them perform normally without orders because Jing Chen wanted to see if there had been any improvement in their recent training. But unexpectedly, this had led to a bunch of Cheng Yaojin charging in.

For some reason, the people before him seemed familiar to Jing Chen, but he couldn’t place them at the moment.

"Are you sure you don’t want to give them directions? At the very least, let them know the enemy’s position?" asked a man lounging lazily nearby, an unusually enchanting man at that, with an air of nonchalance that was unrivaled.

However, Jing Chen glanced back at him indifferently, "As the ’enemy’ leader, aren’t you afraid I’ll behead you first by staying in the enemy camp like this?"

"Big brother, would you bear to do that?" The man didn’t seem to care at all, and since the captains, including him, weren’t really part of it, why be so petty?

"I would."

Jing Chen probably had long wished to kick out this super-sized, obliviously annoying third wheel.

Jing Tian looked at Mu Lin with a wronged expression, "Look at that, sister-in-law, this is your husband; prioritizing desire over brotherhood."

Mu Lin chuckled softly, "As long as the ’desire’ he prioritizes is me, I don’t mind at all."

"But what if that ’desire’ isn’t you? Sister-in-law, what would you do then?" His expression was one of schadenfreude; by his guess, with his sister-in-law’s temperament, preferring to shatter than to be unwhole, if his brother really did something to wrong her, it would likely end in death or serious injury.

Yet, Mu Lin looked towards Jing Chen beside her, her smile gentle, "Such a thing will not happen." As Jing Chen’s cold gaze shifted away from Jing Tian, he looked at her, and they shared a smile.

Jing Tian definitively had to swallow a mouthful of dog food.

Ah... It hurts to be a single dog! He was starting to feel some sympathy for the young lads in Ying Sun.

As he observed the calm couple before him, Jing Tian actually felt a bit envious. Suddenly, a stunningly delicate and lovely face popped unbidden into his mind, smiling tenderly at him. Unfortunately, the next moment, a sudden fist seemed to aim straight for his handsome face, causing him to nearly fall from his chair, and the realization came—his thoughts had run away with him.

He touched his nose and clicked his tongue twice.

How could he think of that fiery-tempered woman? He must have gotten his head jarred during the car ride!

"We’ve got intel coming in." Just then, Mu Lin suddenly spoke up, and Jing Tian briskly stood up and walked over to the two, looking at the large screen in front of them.

"Chi Xie, former member of the Delta Special Forces, has participated in no fewer than ten overseas wars and is currently employed by an international mercenary organization. Since he joined the mercenaries, no matter what kind of mission he took on, he has never failed." Seeing the photo, Jing Tian’s originally playful face instantly turned serious and earnest, "And these men under him are also top handlers from various countries’ special forces. They were recruited by him after their retirements, and it is unknown how he managed to recruit them." The team in front of them was all elite; they absolutely could not be underestimated, as underestimating them could lead to death.

To tell the truth, Jing Tian didn’t actually like these foreign soldiers, because the chances of them becoming mercenaries, becoming their enemies, were just too high; people without faith could be easily turned.

"He has failed once before." However, Jing Chen’s deep voice suddenly rang out.

Jing Tian was surprised, "When?" He had no idea!

"Six years ago, in F Country, I once crossed paths with him. At that time, his target was someone I was protecting." Jing Chen’s gaze grew intense as he looked at the person in the photo.

"So the one who injured you six years ago was him." Jing Tian’s expression changed subtly; he remembered it clearly, that was the most serious injury Jing Chen had ever sustained.

He had suffered gunshot wounds to his leg and hand, as well as blast injuries; his leg was almost disabled and he had to rest at home for a full half a year before he completely recovered.

Looking at the person on the screen, Mu Lin’s eyes were cold.

Jing Chen’s scar, which had almost cost him his life, she had seen it.

"Could it be that he’s here for revenge this time?" That shouldn’t be the case. Jing Tian looked at the screen with some confusion.

"No," Jing Chen said, "If he were out for personal revenge, he definitely wouldn’t wait six years." Although this man was ruthless, he wasn’t one to not accept a loss, "That time, although he injured me, his wounds definitely weren’t lighter than mine." He hadn’t expected him to still be alive.

"Each of his men is also not so easy to deal with; should we remind ours?" He did not want his brothers to encounter any trouble here, "Or we could take action personally."

Jing Chen didn’t respond.

Mu Lin picked up the headset and put it to her mouth, "Attention, Ying Sun’s people, your opponents this time are seasoned mercenaries from the international mercenary organization. I think some of you have faced them before. That person’s name is —— Chi Xie."

The name Chi Xie instantly stirred up towering waves in the hearts of Ying Sun’s people.

Who is Chi Xie?

Some who didn’t know were a bit confused, but those who knew immediately snapped to attention.

Before the group could regain their composure, Mu Lin continued, "Chi Xie is like a scorpion that only has poison, remember, this time, we want to make sure he doesn’t return." Those who dared to harm her, she wouldn’t let live.

She wanted to see, once and for all, whether her Medical Poison was deadlier, or this scorpion’s venom was.

Mu Lin’s expression was dark.

Jing Tian: Sister-in-law is terrifying.

But he also stepped forward to remind his own men, "Cooperate well with Ying Sun’s people, and remember to be careful. This scorpion is very poisonous; even our Jing Ye has suffered at his hands before."

"Understood," responded the Marine Corps members, shocked at heart; even Jing Ye had suffered a loss, it seemed he was indeed not easy to deal with.

Everyone cautiously observed their surroundings. There had just been a moment of attack, and now everything had suddenly come to a halt. What exactly did these people want to do?

For a moment, nobody could figure it out.

Yang Yuebin looked towards Xigua and the others, asking softly, "Do all of you know this Chi Xie?" As a newbie, there were indeed things he didn’t know.

"Even if he turned to ash, we would recognize him." How could they not know! "Six years ago, one of our brothers fell at their hands, and the Boss nearly lost his life; to think that these people now dare to intrude into our territory." It was simply courting death!

"Six years ago?" Jing Youlan subconsciously frowned, remembering that incident when Jing Chen’s injury had nearly scared their entire Jing family to death; everyone had thought he was beyond saving, but then he seemed to have been rescued by someone very capable. However, they didn’t know who that person was; that individual was mysterious and disappeared without a trace after saving them.

"I know now!" It looked like today was the day for revenge and for settling grievances!
