Chapter 762: Chapter 710: Expert

“How’s it going; did you find the hostage?” Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei had just left the small motel when Liu Dekai, who had rushed over, anxiously asked.

He couldn’t afford to take this lightly; in a very short time, he had been given a strict order from above: if anything happened to the hostage, he could forget about his position.

This was naturally the power of the Liu Family, so now Liu Dekai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

“Liu Hun, you stop right there.” Before Liu Hun could speak, An Ran’s furious voice came from behind him.

Following the voice, An Ran appeared breathless, afraid that Liu Hun might run away again.

Seeing An Ran, Liu Hun turned to Liu Dekai and said with a cold smile, “If it weren’t for this police officer, I would have already caught one of the suspects.”

“What is going on, you scoundrel?” Liu Dekai exclaimed, alarmed by Liu Hun’s somewhat displeased tone.

“Secretary, he is suspected of unprovoked murder, I…” An Ran, hearing Liu Hun unfairly report her first, immediately retorted angrily.

But before she could explain, Liu Hun took over, “The motel owner was their accomplice. As soon as I entered, he tried to shoot me, so in self-defense, I killed him, and then found the accomplice. But due to this police officer’s interference, the accomplice got away.”

“This is outrageous!” Liu Dekai, upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, immediately stared at An Ran and yelled loudly.

Right now, he didn’t care who had died; the most crucial thing was to find the criminal and rescue Chu Mengyao.

Now that An Ran had interfered, allowing the criminal’s accomplice to escape, Liu Dekai was naturally extremely angry.

“Secretary, it’s not what he said, I…” An Ran, seeing Liu Dekai angry, started to explain feeling somewhat wronged.

“You are no longer needed in this case.” Liu Dekai said, displeased; then he looked at Liu Hun and asked, “Scoundrel, what do we do now?”

“As I mentioned earlier, quickly release the news and then blockade all the roads leaving the county town. Deploy police forces within a five-kilometer radius; whoever provides clues gets a reward of five million, and capturing the criminal offers a reward of fifty million!” Liu Hun looked at Liu Dekai and spoke in a somber tone.

Liu Hun’s words caused everyone present to pause slightly; in the blink of an eye, Liu Hun had increased the reward amount several times, making the reward terrifyingly high.

…

An hour later, Liu Hun was in Lu Chuan’s home, watching the television broadcasting news about capturing the criminal and the rewards; Lu Chuan, somewhat worried, said, “Scoundrel, do you think this will work? Those people are mercenaries; they kill without blinking an eye, relying solely on ordinary people might be…”

Previously, when Lu Chuan had heard about the issue concerning Chu Mengyao, he had rushed over, leading to the current scene.

“The power of the masses is tremendous. Although Fenglin County is small, it also has a population of over a million. If we don’t rely on the public, it will be very difficult to find any clues,” Liu Hun sighed with a hint of helplessness.

As time ticked by, almost everyone was at home watching television in the evening, so the news quickly spread throughout every corner of the city.

At nightfall, Liu Hun suddenly received a call from Liu Dekai, saying that a member of the public had reported spotting the suspect.

Without hesitating for a second, Liu Hun asked for the location and immediately drove rapidly toward the destination.

Arriving at the scene, the other police officers had not yet arrived. Liu Hun saw a few hooligans ahead, furrowed his brow, and directly approached to ask, “Did you guys call the police earlier?”

“Yes, we did. Are you a police officer? Just now, I saw them enter this building, and about the reward you mentioned earlier…” The red-haired hooligan at the front, looking at Liu Hun with shining eyes, asked.

“If the information is true, you can collect the five-million reward,” Liu Hun replied, then instructed Lu Chuan who was by his side, “Just stay here; Xiao Fei and I will go inside to check the situation.”

Lu Chuan opened his mouth as he wanted to go in too, but upon thinking that those inside were likely mercenaries, he ultimately decided against it.

Liu Hun glanced ahead at the abandoned factory, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

“Let’s go,” Liu Hun nodded to Wang Xiaofei beside him, and the two immediately walked toward the inside.

Around the perimeter of the abandoned factory was a vast open field; approaching the factory unnoticed was absolutely impossible.

“Bang bang bang…” Just as they reached the grass, a burst of bullets swept towards them.

Seeing the other party fire without a word, Liu Hun rolled on the ground twice, then lay in the grass, using the surrounding weeds to conceal his figure.

“Cover me.” After saying this, Liu Hun took the pistol he had taken earlier from the motel from his waist and threw it to Wang Xiaofei.

Wang Xiaofei caught the pistol and fired several shots in a row. With this brief cover, Liu Hun, like a cunning rabbit, madly dashed to the side of the factory.

Even so, under the machine gun’s sweeping fire, Liu Hun’s shoulder was still hit by a bullet. He glanced at the wound on his shoulder, which was not severe, took a deep breath, picked up a few stones from the ground, and cautiously walked toward the upper floors.

Having located the previous positions of the machine gunners, Liu Hun moved silently behind his target like the Grim Reaper.

“Who’s there?” The man barked softly, pulling out a pistol from his waist and instinctively firing towards Liu Hun’s direction.

Before the trigger could be pulled, a stone from Liu Hun’s hand landed accurately on the man’s shoulder.

“Crack!” A crisp sound rang out as the stone made the man’s shoulder dislocate—an act that required both precise aim and immense strength.

Regrettably for his opponent, Liu Hun possessed both.

Dashing forward, Liu Hun grabbed the man’s neck and gently twisted; the man instantly went limp and lay on the ground.

Picking up the pistol from the ground, Liu Hun quickly moved to another room and swiftly killed another machine gunner.

After finishing all this, Liu Hun nodded at Wang Xiaofei, who was on the grass.

Moments later, the two met on the second floor.

“The rest are up to you to handle; I’m going to rescue Mengyao,” Liu Hun said solemnly to Wang Xiaofei in front of him.

From the moment he first saw Wang Xiaofei, Liu Hun knew he was extraordinarily skilled. This time, facing a few mercenaries, Liu Hun wanted to see just how strong Wang Xiaofei was and whether he could truly entrust his life to him, as he had claimed initially.

“No problem,” Wang Xiaofei nodded and silently left the room.

Liu Hun looked at the stairs ahead, took a deep breath, and then started walking up step by step.

“Although I said we would meet again, I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I’m curious, how did you find this place?” As soon as Liu Hun reached the third floor, the middle-aged man he’d encountered at the hotel appeared before him.

The man’s shoulder was wrapped in a bandage, clearly hit by Liu Hun while escaping.

“I’ll give you another chance. If you release the hostage and tell me who your employer is, I might just spare your lives,” Liu Hun said evenly to the middle-aged man.

“Spare our lives?” Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, the man was briefly stunned, then burst into laughter, “Kid, do you really think I’m with those guys? With a mercenary group as pitiful as theirs, they could disappear from this world anytime if I wanted.”

“Unfortunately, the rest of your mercenary group is already dead,” Liu Hun’s eyes flashed coldly.

From the moment he first saw this guy, Liu Hun felt there was something unusual about him, but he hadn’t thought much about it at the time. Now, it seemed this matter was even more complex than he had imagined.

“What is your relationship with the Zero Mercenary Group?” the middle-aged man asked, a hint of shock in his eyes after Liu Hun’s remarks.

The fact that Hound Mercenary Group had been wiped out was unknown even to the few who went on this mission; within the Mercenary World, only the three major Mercenary Groups would know this so quickly.

“You really are a member of the other two major Mercenary Groups. Now, I’m quite curious about what could alarm you all,” Liu Hun looked at the middle-aged man without any fear.

“It seems I underestimated you. If your next words satisfy me, I might consider letting you go, but only if you tell me your relationship with the Zero Mercenary Group,” the middle-aged man suddenly said with a smile, catching Liu Hun off guard as it was unclear what his angle was.

Liu Hun stayed silent, his eyes fixed on the man.

“Fine, there’s a saying in Huaxia, ‘Don’t shed tears until you see the coffin.’ Let me show you the gap between us,” the middle-aged man chuckled, then gestured to Liu Hun with a crooked finger.

Without hesitation, Liu Hun moved forward and threw his fists directly towards the man’s face.

“Bang, bang, bang!” Against Liu Hun’s punches, the middle-aged man simply blocked with his arms, and Liu Hun’s fists hitting his arms felt like striking a steel plate.

“It looks like you’re still too weak,” the man remarked after Liu Hun had thrown dozens of punches in a brief period.

Hearing this, Liu Hun’s expression shifted slightly, his leg lifted, sweeping towards the middle-aged man with a whistling sound and the crackle of electricity through the air.

If someone had seen it, they’d surely be startled.

“Boom!” The middle-aged man’s punch landed on Liu Hun’s leg with a muffled sound; the next moment, Liu Hun flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall.

“How about now, isn’t it time to reveal your identity?” The middle-aged man looked at Liu Hun lying on the ground, his mouth tinged with crimson blood, and spoke with a light laugh.

“I am Zero,” Liu Hun said, his eyes showing a trace of shock. He couldn’t have imagined the man being so terrifying, and now, revealing his identity was the only option, or else he might not only fail to save anyone today but also risk his own life.

“So, you are the rumored Zero. Although we’re on different sides, I have to say, I admire you. You’ve brought Zero to such a level in such a short time,” the middle-aged man’s eyes sparkled with surprise.

Then he continued, “Today, I’ll consider it as returning a favor to Number One. I won’t interfere with this matter anymore, the rest is up to you. We shall meet again. I hope you won’t disappoint me next time; otherwise, it would really disgrace the Zero Mercenary Group.”
