Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Ji Yang knew there wasn’t much time left. If there were people targeting them ahead and similarly from behind, there would be absolutely no way out.

The road was along the edge of a cliff, and he guessed they wouldn’t make their move here; after all, even if a car fell off the cliff, it could only be chalked up to a driving issue. What they hoped was for Hua Country to see it as an ambush that had caused the accident.

Therefore, after this stretch of cliff-side road, that would be their best place to strike.

For Ji Yang, now was the crucial moment; only by eliminating the enemies in the car behind could he possibly save himself.

Ji Yang’s jeep was crammed full of people, with the passenger seat given to the female translator, Xu Shiman.

He also gave the middle row to He Hongfei and his two companions.

Now, Ji Yang and Gao Changjun were sitting in the back, which had been modified to add another row.

Although it was cramped, everyone could still fit.

Before setting off, Ji Yang had suggested that everyone sit in the same vehicle for convenience in looking out for each other, and no one had objected.

Ideally, with so many people, they should have arranged for an additional vehicle. The current ones were not enough, but ultimately, it had to be this way.

The vehicles ahead and behind were occupied by military soldiers and did not include Ji Yang’s people.

Sitting in the back, Ji Yang looked at the people in front, then at Gao Changjun beside him.

Due to the hot weather, the windows were all open. Everyone was tortured by the dirt road, tensely watching ahead and not looking behind.

This indeed gave Ji Yang some convenience.

He had armed himself with plenty of items and now covertly began to remove a steel nail from his shirt.

He had specially crafted this, hammering a common nail into a dart shape. Paired with True Yuan, he had tested it; its power was formidable.

Even Gao Changjun didn’t notice Ji Yang’s movements as he was vigilantly watching the front.

With the small steel dart in hand, Ji Yang placed it near the window.

Just as the vehicle was about to turn a corner, Ji Yang’s gaze shifted to the car behind.

Then, under the force exerted by his hand, he threw the small dart out.

The dart didn’t hit a person but targeted the tire of the vehicle.

Under the force, the front tire burst instantly.

Then, as the car lost control and couldn’t react in time, it plunged off the cliff.

"Oh no!"

"What happened?"

The people in front also heard the noise from behind and saw the vehicle tumbling down the cliff.

Both vehicles stopped.

Everyone got out of the cars.

Ji Yang also got out, exhibiting the same expression as everyone else.

From the lead vehicle, the Myanmar soldiers also alighted, all with faces of astonishment.

"What happened?" Everyone looked around, hoping to find those targeting them.

Like everyone else, Ji Yang showed an expression of complete ignorance in response to their inquiries.

Ji Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief internally; as long as the enemies behind them were eliminated, he just needed to focus on the enemies ahead.

Of course, Ji Yang knew in his heart that he still didn’t know what kind of enemies lay ahead and couldn’t really relax yet.

Should they continue forward or turn back?

Ji Yang looked at everyone’s response and knew that even if he opposed moving forward, it probably wouldn’t work, especially since the enemy hadn’t been spotted. In everyone’s eyes, the vehicle had merely suffered a blown tire.
