Zhao Mingkun took one last look at the warehouse, now stained with blood, and surveyed the bodies sprawled haphazardly inside. A row of stretch limousines stood parked in front of the warehouse, seemingly still telling tales of the power and greatness of these individuals. Yet, these once-dominant figures on this small island now lay cold on the ground, a stark reminder that victory and defeat can hinge on a single moment.
All this chaos had been unleashed by a girl in her twenties. A bodyguard pulled the warehouse door shut and said to Zhao Mingkun, "Queen, in an hour, the old man will send someone over. Right now, his Mafia is likely attacking the other factions; they are leaderless and will soon fall apart."
Zhao Mingkun nodded without speaking.
The middle-aged man continued to hold an umbrella over Zhao Mingkun and added, "Sicily only gave us today to act. After tomorrow, no matter what remains, we can't make any more moves. Should we consider bringing in more people to ensure a thorough cleanup? When the sun rises tomorrow, everything will change. Should we leave a backup plan with the old man? Otherwise, if we become too powerful, what if he unilaterally tears up our agreement?"
Zhao Mingkun extended her hand as if to catch raindrops, then waved her fingers with a smile. "I have my ways for that; it's not something you need to worry about. If I dare to make such an agreement with him, I have ways to ensure he adheres to it. Otherwise, his fate won't be any better than those inside."
As she spoke, Zhao Mingkun turned to me and said, "Last time you complained about the coffee they brought; how about we go for the world's most expensive coffee this time? Prepare the car; we're heading to the old man's place now. You handle what's left here; a boat will come for you tomorrow. Put away your guns—once this mission is over, this place won't belong to us anymore; after all, it's not our home."
Everyone nodded and prepared to leave when suddenly an unexpected event occurred. Just as the middle-aged man was putting away the umbrella and getting ready to enter the car, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground. A bloody hole appeared in his head, and then his skull burst open.
"Sniper! Take cover!" several bodyguards shouted in unison.
Seeing this, everyone ducked behind the cars, afraid to expose themselves. Based on the middle-aged man's death, it was clear that their opponent was a sharpshooter; at that moment, we couldn't discern where they were hiding. Soon enough, we heard police sirens approaching from all directions.
Zhao Mingkun and I crouched behind the same stretch limousine. She frowned and shouted, "Who leaked our plans? Why are they here? Didn't they already check for bodies?" Her face darkened as she furrowed her brow tightly; clearly, this situation had caught Zhao Mingkun off guard.
One person spoke up: "We stationed guards at the intersection; how could the police arrive unnoticed? There are only two possibilities: either someone betrayed us or our opponents are simply too strong. Given the current situation, it seems like it's the latter—you can hear how many people are coming!"
Still hiding behind the limousine, Zhao Mingkun listened to the sirens surrounding us; it seemed we were already encircled. Then we heard police shouting in English: "You are surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender! I repeat: you are surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender!"
Zhao Mingkun frowned slightly and remarked with interest, "The security forces on this island are weak, and the Mafia has operated here for years—many in their system are Mafia members. With so many high-ranking Mafia leaders present today, someone must have tipped them off. Yet here come so many police officers! They must have known about our actions in advance."
Zhao Mingkun chambered a round in her gun and continued, "It seems like the government is making a big move to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Mafia influence completely. What a clever strategy! Taking advantage of internal chaos while launching an external purge. Whoever came up with this plan is certainly smart—Captain Shao, what do you think?"
Zhao Mingkun spoke with a hint of meaning, and I didn't respond directly, only saying, "Then I can only ask what we should do next."
He raised the gun in his hand and addressed both me and the others, "What else can we do? We charge out. Staying here means death; charging out gives us a chance to live. Everyone, I believe you know what kind of people you are. If you're caught, you know what will happen. The Police Force on the island is not sufficient. With so many of us here, can’t we break through?"
As he spoke, Zhao Mingkun shouted, "You few stay back to cover us; the rest follow me out. Once we break through the encirclement, if we get separated, just hide. Tomorrow morning, head to the dock; we can go back then. Be careful not to leave a trail behind you. I won’t say more! Let’s go!"
As he finished speaking, several people charged out first. Then came the sound of gunfire; shortly after, one person collapsed to the ground, apparently hit. At that moment, Zhao Mingkun also stood up, and a dozen people rushed outside, firing as they ran.
I glanced around and saw police cars surrounding us. The officers were taking cover behind their doors and shooting back. Although Zhao Mingkun's side was at a disadvantage, these people were all skilled marksmen. I found myself swept along with Zhao Mingkun among them; clearly, they were protecting us in the middle, primarily to safeguard Zhao Mingkun.
These trained individuals moved quickly; I had to exert all my strength just to keep up with them. In less than ten seconds, we had already covered a hundred meters. But in that distance alone, many had fallen—each shot in the legs or arms by a sharpshooter across from us.
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Mingkun's lips as he said, "You all break through ahead; I'll take this kid around the side! Remember to draw their fire; we'll split up!"
As he spoke, we divided into two groups. These people understood their situation well at that moment. If they didn’t fight desperately, they would end up captured. Hearing Zhao Mingkun's words, they roared and charged forward, clearly willing to sacrifice their lives for our escape.
It seemed that those Zhao Mingkun had chosen for this game were actually the least loyal to themselves; she was using others' hands to eliminate her own people. The longer I spent with her, the more I sensed how extraordinary she was. Under the cover of these reckless individuals, Zhao Mingkun and I managed to run quite far away.
One side of the warehouse led into a sizable forest. Although there were police guarding it at that moment, it was clear that such a large area couldn't be fully secured. A dozen bodyguards armed with submachine guns charged in almost suicidally; the police clearly hadn’t anticipated such desperation and began firing back.
Meanwhile, Zhao Mingkun was pulling me deeper into the woods as we ran. We had no idea how long we had been running; gradually, the sounds of gunfire around us diminished. We realized we had escaped their encirclement but still didn’t know how long we had been running—I could only feel sweat covering my body.
After a brief rest for both of us, Zhao Mingkun smiled and said, "This time, all my efforts have gone up in smoke! I planned for so long and invested so much effort only to have it disrupted by someone else. What I can't figure out is how you managed to do it."
Just as I lifted my head, a gun was suddenly pointed at my head. Zhao Mingkun blinked and showed an impatient expression before asking, "How did you do it?"
"Do what?" I replied with a smile; indeed, Zhao Mingkun was very clever.
"Are you messing with me?" Zhao Mingkun punched me in the face, and immediately I tasted a sweet and metallic flavor in my mouth. She put all her strength into that punch. "If I couldn't see through this little thing, I would have died a hundred times in the organization already!"
Zhao Mingkun opened the safety on her gun and chambered a bullet. "When I'm with you, bullets never come flying! Is it because you have some protagonist aura, or do those bullets have eyes? I've considered everyone and every change, except for you! I thought that once I distanced myself from Our Country, you wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, but I underestimated you!"
"Do you know?" Zhao Mingkun gritted her teeth and said, "I really want to shoot you dead! If it weren't for the higher-ups, you'd be dead by now! I'm serious, but you can't die just yet. Heh heh, I'm watching you everywhere. You still have ways to escape; I guess they will catch up soon, so I'm not going to waste my breath with you!"
I shrugged and said nothing.
Zhao Mingkun continued, "I'll just say this: you can't escape. We'll be watching you at all times! By the way, you still owe me a life—remember that, don't forget!"
With that, Zhao Mingkun kept her gun pointed at me but slowly retreated into the woods. Gradually, she disappeared among the trees. Her reaction speed was incredibly fast; if it had been anyone else, they would still be confused by now. But Zhao Mingkun understood everything in such a short time and used me as cover to avoid gunfire.
Months of planning by Zhao Mingkun went up in flames because of me, yet she didn't pull the trigger. This surprised me; it seemed she was very patient. Zhao Mingkun was indeed formidable. Thinking this way, I took out my charm bag. Inside, besides a small stone, there was something resembling a watch battery.
At that moment, this little object was blinking with a blue light. I said to it, "The big boss has run away; Zhao Mingkun is clever; I couldn't keep her here. However, our joint operation has captured quite a few people. We should be able to get something out of them. Let's gather in front of the warehouse."
