Su Xing's gaze was calm and intense, but in front of the mercenary, whose hands were stained with countless blood and who killed without a second thought, it was utterly insufficient.
He casually removed his glasses and pulled down his mask. He was quite a handsome man from the Western Country, which made it all the more regrettable that he had chosen such a line of work. In this place, he boldly revealed his true face, clearly confident in his own strength.
Su Xing didn't expect that in such a situation, she would still have the presence of mind to notice his looks. "Where are you taking me?" she asked as he dragged her along.
The man didn't even glance at her, simply replying, "Stop talking nonsense and shut up."
It was a waste of societal resources for someone ranked among the top three in the International Assassin Organization to be capturing such a weak woman. After hearing his impatient tone, Su Xing dared not say another word.
But surely she could at least try to escape; that was human instinct! As they approached the helicopter, Su Xing began to scan her surroundings, looking for any chance to increase her odds of getting away.
This mercenary's skills were certainly not ordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident as to not even bind her. But if she didn’t run now, when would she? Fortunately, she had worn cargo pants that morning instead of a skirt; although she was used to high heels, she hoped this would become an advantage.
Aiming for the direction where the sun shone directly, she prepared to take a desperate gamble!
At the helicopter door, she suddenly spun around and kicked back with her leg. She had even taken care to stomp the tips of her high heels into the dirt a few times beforehand, hoping to fling some mud into the man's eyes.
However, Su Xing was not only shorter than him but also far less skilled; comparing her to him was like comparing half a pound of scrap metal to eight ounces of gold. Moreover, he had a gun.
"Ha! Within five meters, even if I give you a gun, you still can't beat me," he scoffed.
He seemed surprised that Su Xing dared to challenge him at all. Yet there was no doubt that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't overpower him.
As she looked at the dark muzzle of the gun aimed at her forehead, she ultimately resigned herself and climbed up the rope ladder onto the helicopter. To her astonishment, this man could actually pilot the helicopter himself, leaving just the two of them inside.
Su Xing was fortunate enough to sit in the co-pilot seat of a small helicopter. Throughout the journey, she felt a growing sense of anxiety, wondering where this person would take her in five hours. The outside world was not as safe as Hua Country; they might need to extract something from her while she was still alive. She shuddered at the thought of dying far from home, her body left unrecognizable.
What Su Xing feared most was precisely what Shen Jingyu was currently worried about. After two hours of checks, Shen Jingyu finally confirmed that Su Xing had indeed been taken abroad. The mercenary’s skills were impressive enough to evade official radar and steal a flight path.
In the top office of Mu Beiming's Kunpeng Group, a dozen people had gathered. Opposite Shen Jingyu sat the impeccably dressed Mu Beiming and Rong Xigu, who was clad in military attire. The others standing around were their assistants and aides.
Compared to Shen Jingyu, the other two were much calmer, and they were working for him. Mu Beiming had arranged Kunpeng Group’s global flight routes and was on standby at any moment. In front of Rong Xigu was a military computer displaying what looked like a radar screen, with a blinking red dot.
“Jing Yu, have you really thought this through? With your status, making such a scene will surely alert your grandfather. I won’t be able to keep this under wraps for long,” Rong Xigu cautioned.
Rong Xigu was an underling of Shen Zhengxin but had completely switched sides after getting to know Shen Jingyu, becoming one of his closest friends. Given that they were using the military's most advanced radar detection technology for this operation, he would undoubtedly have to write up a mountain of reports afterward.
But so what? If I return alive, he will continue to use me to complete missions. If I don’t make it back, he can hold me accountable; it will just set rules for you all.
At that moment, there was no light in Shen Jingyu’s eyes. He could hardly imagine how many life-and-death situations Su Xing would face. That woman had such a fiery temper and always felt defiant; she would surely think of ways to escape. But she was dealing with a mercenary organization; if she kept trying to run away, it would be seen as a provocation, and her life could be ended in an instant.
I can't wait any longer.
Shen Jingyu stared at the red dot on the computer screen and finally stood up, issuing orders: “Notify the aircraft to land on the rooftop. I’ll fly abroad along the established route. If there are any changes along the way, we’ll stay in contact.”
“Brother Yu,” someone interjected, “we still don’t know that person’s true intentions. Rushing in could be a trap.”
After all, what they had done was right there, and everything had to be guarded against! If A Xing were to be caught because of me, I would need her by my side even more.
Shen Jingyu’s gaze was resolute. Mu Beiming knew he couldn’t stop it, so he notified the plane to come pick him up. Rong Xigu couldn’t leave casually, nor could he make a big fuss about getting involved with the police’s pursuit; he could only quietly prepare what Shen Jingyu needed in the shadows. Meanwhile, Mu Beiming would keep an eye on the police’s progress on behalf of Shen Jingyu.
After all, a perfectly healthy person had suddenly gone missing, and it was certainly necessary to report it to the police. However, due to their unique abilities, they had almost already pinpointed Su Xing’s imminent location just as the police were beginning their investigation. This could be considered as gaining a little bit of time.
Rong Xigu and Mu Beiming accompanied Shen Jingyu upstairs. Rong Xigu squeezed Shen Jingyu’s shoulder and said, “Shao Wen and A Ye have also received news and are prepared. If we can’t make it in time, we’ll use A Ye’s people first. You take Ahao, along with brothers Fang Tong and Fang Chong, over there. I’ll find a way to notify Qin Yi. Once you confirm the location, I’ll have him come immediately. With his medical skills accompanying you, it will provide an extra layer of assurance.”
Mu Beiming added, “We can’t rely much on the police for this matter, but I will keep watch.”
“Shen, I’ll handle the official business from both sides with your sister-in-law. You don’t need to worry.”
“I doubt I can keep it from my sister any longer; I’ll do my best to keep things from my sister-in-law’s family.”
“Thanks, brother.” Before leaving, Shen Jingyu turned around and patted both of their arms. The understanding between them allowed him to leave with enough peace of mind. They were friends who could trust each other with their backs.
An hour after the helicopter carrying Su Xing took off, Shen Jingyu also set out on her own route.
It felt as if Su Xing’s mind had endured a long torment. Finally, when she was thrown into an underground cage, she stopped all fantasies of fear and uncertainty.
