Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Celebration Banquet (3)_1

"You few follow me, and as soon as the target gets off the car, we move to distract those mercenaries. Xing, you’ll be here. You’ll stay in this position..." Situ Muli assigned tasks one by one, while Situ Xin sat leisurely holding a cup, watching as The Dark Division members were tasked.

"Alright, let’s move out." After Situ Muli finished distributing tasks and confirmed the arrival time of their target from the watch on his wrist, he stood up and spoke.

The night had already fallen, but BL city’s lights were bright enough to illuminate the sky. However, there were still some areas shrouded in darkness amidst the twinkling lights.

When Situ Muli and the others left the room, Situ Xin didn’t follow. Instead, after they left, she had Baibai emerge from space.

Baibai, who had been staying in space for days, was already fed up with life inside it. Upon coming out, Baibai stretched lazily and then leapt into Situ Xin’s arms, complaining, "Master, you really are too much. Leaving me in space for so long has bored me to death."

"Enough with the complaints, I’ve let you out now, haven’t I? Besides, today I’m taking you to see a thrilling gunfight. If you keep grumbling, I might not take you," Situ Xin half-threatened to Baibai.

"Ah, I want to go, I want to go!" As soon as Baibai heard there was a gunfight to see, it got excited. Watching Baibai’s enthusiastic response, one might think it was about to take up a gun and join the battle. Although Baibai had indeed handled a gun before, with its tiger paws, its marksmanship was rather unimpressive.

Situ Xin had Baibai revert to its original size, then, with a leap, she mounted Baibai’s back. "Baibai, let’s go." Following Situ Xin’s command, Baibai, carrying Situ Xin, flew straight out of the hotel room window.

Before Baibai flew out of the hotel window, Situ Xin had already released her Divine Sense, covering all the nearby cameras within its range. In other words, until Situ Xin withdrew her Divine Sense, the surrounding cameras were rendered useless.

"Baibai, a bit towards that way." Through Divine Sense, Situ Xin saw the exact location of Situ Muli and his team and directed Baibai to fly above them.

"This is good." Situ Xin spoke after Baibai had flown to the position above where Situ Muli was.

The spot where Situ Xin and Baibai were now positioned was directly above Situ Muli and his team. Thanks to Situ Xin and Baibai’s extraordinary vision, they could clearly see the scene unfolding below.

Two black Lincoln sedans driving normally braked sharply - the first car to a halt, followed by the second. Then, a man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses got out from the first car to inspect a suspicious object in front of them.

"Huh, is this what they call a staged accident? Wouldn’t have expected it - Mu Li’s got plenty of tricks up his sleeve," Situ Xin said to Baibai, watching the scene unfold.

Meanwhile, Mu Li, whom Situ Xin had mentioned, sneezed without warning, earning him a concerned look from Xing: "Mu Li, are you okay? You’re not coming down with a cold, are you?"

"I’m fine," replied Situ Muli, puzzled by his untimely sneeze, but he quickly focused back on the scene before him instead of dwelling on it.

Seeing the two cars come to an abrupt stop, Situ Muli and everyone in The Dark Division who were in on the plan found it odd. Their arranged target hadn’t appeared yet, so why was the enemy following their script to the letter?

The Dark Division members wondered whether their plan had been leaked to the enemy, but this thought was swiftly rejected by everyone.

"Team one, team two, get ready." When Situ Muli saw the target finally get off the car, he immediately instructed through the wireless earpiece.

Under Situ Muli’s orders, The Dark Division operatives sprang into action. Led by Xing and Situ Muli, the first and second teams, armed with submachine guns, opened fire on the two Lincolns.

The location where the two Lincolns had stopped was fairly isolated, with hardly anyone passing by. Therefore, apart from attracting the attention of the opposition, the gunfire elicited no other response. With The Dark Division’s burst of gunfire, several of the enemy mercenaries were quickly downed.

Hearing the gunfire, the target became tense, fumbling to get back in the car for cover, shouting, "We’re under attack, quick, protect me!"

The mercenaries were fast to react; they fumbled briefly at first, but quickly regained their composure. They contacted their comrades through their earpieces, requesting reinforcements.

"Team one, move left. Team two, move right. Divert the enemy’s attention. Wu Qing, get ready," Situ Muli began to direct the deployment. Before the mercenaries could rush to the target’s side, he issued the command.

Situ Xin, seated on Baibai, watched The Dark Division operatives conduct their operation smoothly under Situ Muli’s command. "Mu Li’s command ability is really not bad; I hadn’t noticed it before. Now that I’m witnessing it firsthand, I understand. We have to make good use of such talent in the future." Unbeknownst to Situ Muli down below, engaged in the intense fight, he was already being calculated upon.

After all, mercenaries live on the edge every day. Their capabilities are not to be underestimated. With Situ Muli and Xing successfully diverting the attention of the mercenaries, Wu Qing had the opportunity to approach the target. However, just as Wu Qing was about to succeed in getting close, the mercenaries’ reinforcements arrived.

Now, the opposition’s forces far outnumbered those of Situ Muli’s The Dark Division.

"Wu Qing, hold your position for now," Situ Muli instructed while dodging enemy fire. In the current situation, if Wu Qing attempted to approach the target, it would be no surprise if he were to be shot dead.
