Chapter 727: Must Leave!
"What should we do?"
Inside the cargo truck, the man who had moved from the container to the front driving compartment looked at Xiao Yi, who had flashed behind his companion. He finally stopped the continuous shooting, trembling in his voice and his face showing a hint of fear as he looked towards his companion.
For the first time in his life since becoming a criminal, he felt such fear and terror.
It was terrifying... So many bullets had not hit a single person. It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried before—Uncle Hua was an example. During practice, the three of them had exhausted all their ammunition without even hitting his clothes.
But like this, with the other party not even dodging, letting him shoot for so long, exhausting his bullets, reloading, and still not hitting him once—that was something he had never seen before!
"We..."
The other man beside him was completely shocked and hadn’t recovered for a long while. He felt cold all over, his lips dry, and only after a long while did he slowly and hoarsely speak. Originally, he had made a tough decision to abandon his companion and was about to say, let’s go, but he ended up not finishing his words. It wasn’t that his conscience or loyalty prevailed, but because he couldn’t make that decision anymore.
Because, he saw that terrifying young man had in that instant already appeared in front of his vehicle...
His companion, whom he had almost given up on, was being held like a small chicken in the young man’s hand, pale and devoid of blood, swaying in front of him as if... as if greeting him...
.....................................
"Uncle Hua, how’s the situation?"
At G City International Airport, Zheng Yi wore thick sunglasses that almost completely covered his face, but it didn’t stop him from standing out in the crowd. Almost two meters tall, dressed in a long coat today, he stood there like a crane among chickens, his figure erect. With those sunglasses, he seemed like a character straight out of a movie, capturing the attention of the female passengers at the airport.
Even the female flight attendants and staff frequently glanced his way...
If it had been any other time, he would have unhesitatingly responded to those beauties and perhaps picked one he liked to flirt with, enhancing his enjoyment while waiting for his flight. If possible, he might even find a VIP lounge to engage in a bit of romance. However, at the moment, his mind wasn’t on these women.
His eyes and thoughts were entirely focused on Uncle Hua in front of him, or rather, on Xiao Yi, who was several dozen miles away!
His flight was about to take off soon, but he had yet to receive any definite news... Had they dealt with that bumpkin or not?
"Young master, there’s no news yet, please wait a moment."
Uncle Hua also felt a twinge of unease, his tone lacking the assertiveness he usually had when answering Zheng Yi’s questions. So much time had passed, and by all logic, there should have been a result by now, but he had yet to receive any news, which was quite abnormal.
It was just a pretty boy; how could it take so long?
Doubts flitted through his mind.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment, how do you expect me to wait? Just now you told me to wait, now you’re still telling me to wait, when exactly do you plan to let me wait until?"
Zheng Yi waved his hand impatiently, his tone extremely irritable, "Are you expecting me to wait until I return to M Country?"
"Young master..."
Seeing the irritated expression on Zheng Yi’s face, Uncle Hua’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zheng Yi again.
"No matter what, I want you to give me a result before I board the plane!"
Zheng Yi snorted coldly and angrily turned away, sitting down in his chair, "If there’s no result, I won’t return to M Country!"
Uncle Hua looked at Zheng Yi in front of him, opened his mouth hesitantly, wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth and just bowed his head, hurriedly turning around to walk aside and took out a communicator.
As he took out the communicator, his gaze turned once more towards Zheng Yi not far away. In his heart, he firmly decided that this time, no matter what, even if it meant offending Zheng Yi, he had to make sure Zheng Yi boarded that plane. He absolutely could not let him stay in Xuanwu Country any longer.
Because, it was already way too dangerous!
He had lost his calm and reason because of Xiao Yi. The normal him would never have spoken the words he just did. He had to forcibly calm his mind.
"Beep!"
Accompanied by Uncle Hua’s fingers, had begun sliding on the communicator, the device’s green light had started flashing quickly. His gaze had grown anxious, staring at the light in front of him, waiting for the sound of connection.
However, even after about a minute, the green light kept blinking but had never connected successfully—no one answered the call.
Time passed second by second, and Uncle Hua’s gaze was fixed tightly on the communicator in front of him, a shadow grew gradually in his heart, enveloping him...
When the timer showed three minutes, determination flashed through Uncle Hua’s eyes. He decisively snapped the connection, resolutely packed up the communicator, and briskly walked over to Li Zhengyi.
"Young Master, we must leave immediately!"
Uncle Hua’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn, his tone allowing no doubt. He rarely spoke to Li Zhengyi in such a tone, but this time, the situation was urgent, and he could not worry about so much. His tone was also to tell Li Zhengyi that whether you want to leave or not, this time, you cannot refuse—you must go.
"What happened?"
Li Zhengyi was startled, then his expression grew nervous as he looked at the solemn Uncle Hua; he rarely spoke to him with such urgency.
"Zhang San and Li Si have met with an accident!"
Uncle Hua’s expression was somewhat pained; the three were his effective assistants who had exerted a lot of effort on his behalf in this part of the world. Most importantly, they were truly capable individuals, a significant loss for him.
Although he had not received any concrete information, he was absolutely certain that they had indeed met with an accident.
Because if they hadn’t, they would have been reachable!
The communicators they carried were the most advanced in the world at the moment, all supplied by the Military of M Country, and not merely standard military products but used exclusively among the elite special forces teams!
As long as he was still breathing, he would be able to connect and respond.
Moreover, he was too familiar with their operational styles; generally speaking, Li Si was always in a state where communication was available, as he was mostly responsible for logistics.
"You mean to say?"
After a pause, Li Zhengyi came back to his senses, looking at Uncle Hua with some surprise and suspicion.
"It’s likely that that country bumpkin isn’t as simple as we thought. Although it’s unclear why Zhang San and Li Si failed, it seems they did fail, and for our safety, we must leave," Uncle Hua said.
Uncle Hua nodded, the shadows and uneasy feelings in his mind thickening. He finally confirmed that he had entered the Condensation period, a state generally not prone to such restlessness. Restlessness meant that something was amiss!
"What..."
Getting a confirmed answer from Uncle Hua, Li Zhengyi almost jumped up, his eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot, his face showing an expression of unwillingness, his facial muscles contorting.
He had been sitting here waiting half the day just to hear some good news. Although he couldn’t personally insult and teach that man a lesson before his death, making him disappear from this world would have been somewhat comforting.
Yet, what he had expected was completely different from what had happened!
The country bumpkin hadn’t suffered any damage, but his few capable subordinates might already have fallen into peril... possibly even lost their lives!
How could he endure this!
"Young Master, no matter what, we must leave now!"
Uncle Hua’s gaze was extremely determined as he looked at the emotionally charged Li Zhengyi, his voice growing stern, leaving no room for question.
"This..."
Still with a face full of reluctance, Li Zhengyi wanted to say something else, but Uncle Hua had already begun to take direct action. He grabbed Li Zhengyi by the shoulder, held him down, and walked toward the boarding gate, saying in a deep voice, "Young Master, no matter what, we must first return to M country. The current situation is very grim, and you shouldn’t act rashly. There will be many more opportunities to deal with that country bumpkin in the future! The offenses committed today, once we are back in M country, I’ll accept your punishment."
Looking at Uncle Hua beside him, Li Zhengyi knew it was futile to resist and a shred of rationality left in him also told him that Uncle Hua’s decision was correct. The three had run into trouble, and it was even more inappropriate for him to stay in Xuanwu Country. He was well aware that those three were actually the ones who had attempted to assassinate Chen Jianguo initially!
Yet, in his heart, there was still some reluctance... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
