Xiao Jie’s voice was tinged with cold menace. "Hmph, a clever woman! You’re not charming enough for me here!"
Su Xing could see that behind the man was a computer, not only recording but also live-streaming. Just as she was about to say something, perhaps her last desperate plea, Xiao Jie’s phone rang.
He had to put down his scalpel and respectfully answer the call. At the same time, atop the factory, at a ten-meter-high ventilation opening, a dark gun barrel shifted slightly.
In Shen Jingyu's earpiece, he heard Rong Xigu's voice calling for a halt. Without foolproof preparations, none of them could act recklessly. The infiltrators were getting closer to Xiao Jie and Su Xing. Yet, the overconfident Xiao Jie seemed like an outsider who felt no fear at all.
However, the fact that he answered this call made him secretly anxious. This Su Xing was indeed the person that someone wanted to protect. The voice on the other end of the line had only one command: bring Su Xing back unharmed!
What kind of background did this woman have? When Xiao Jie met Su Xing’s gaze, he couldn’t help but scrutinize her a bit more. His voice dripped with mockery. "I never expected you to be the first person in my hands who remains unscathed."
Su Xing felt as if she had heard those words somewhere before. Whose life was it? The only person she could think of who would associate with such ruthless individuals was Lawrence. Although he came for Han Ruoxi, there must be others behind him!
Xiao Jie said nothing as he shut down the computer. At that moment, Su Xing managed to free her hands from the ropes binding her behind her back. High above, Shen Jingyu’s heart raced as if it would leap out of his throat.
Su Xing was like a fearless warrior. Though the ropes around her ankles were tightly bound and she bent down in fear, a sense of confusion made her feel as if she were hallucinating. Suddenly looking up, she saw Shen Jingyu again.
At that moment, several ropes descended rapidly from the ten-meter-high roof, landing precisely around Su Xing, while twenty-eight people surrounded her from all directions. Xiao Jie found himself encircled in a trap that was meant to catch him easily.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie only struck twice before spilling the liquid from his small green bottle. At the same time, his ghostly movements somehow ignited a fire, quickly triggering a white smoke bomb.
Despite being fully armed and on guard, the others could not find Xiao Jie’s figure amidst the thick white smoke. Only Shen Jingyu tightly held Su Xing's hand, feeling around to untie the ropes binding her feet.
Xiao Jie was determined to take Su Xing away. As soon as his hand reached for her, he was met by the equally elusive Shen Jingyu. The two clashed in a flurry of white, the sounds of their blows echoing through the air while those around them could only watch helplessly.
Shen Jingyu pulled Su Xing with one hand while using the other and his legs to attack Xiao Jie. Just as Su Xing opened her mouth to say something, she was seized by a violent cough and began to vomit. Soon, the soldiers wearing masks also felt a strong urge to retch. The white mist was undoubtedly toxic!
Xiao Jie, an internationally wanted criminal, displayed remarkable skill; every move he made was lethal. Unlike the others, he seemed most adapted to the poisonous gas. His attacks escalated from weak to strong, but he gradually realized he was no match for Shen Jingyu.
In the shadows, a wicked smile crept across his lips as Shen Jingyu landed a punch on his jaw, leaving a metallic taste of blood in his mouth. With more people rushing in from outside, he knew it was time to escape. However, Shen Jingyu had no intention of letting him go.
Su Xing's presence was indeed affecting his combat; no matter what, he could not allow this fugitive to take her away today! Xiao Jie’s voice modulator had been knocked off, and Shen Jingyu clearly heard him say: "If you choose this woman, you won’t escape me!"
Shen Jingyu retorted: "You can’t get away! Those who commit evil will not be spared by heaven!" Hearing the approaching sounds like an army rushing to aid him, Xiao Jie had no choice but to seek an escape route.
Su Xing had already succumbed to unconsciousness due to distress. Shen Jingyu swiftly hoisted her onto his back. Meanwhile, Xiao Jie ignited something else; yellow-green smoke once again filled the entire space. Shen Jingyu commanded into his communicator: "Everyone retreat! We cannot let more people fall because of him!"
Yet Luo Hao and Rong Xigu still led two teams into the fray to pull everyone out. It took a full ten minutes for the pungent odor and thick smoke to dissipate.
Once outside, everyone could see that Shen Jingyu was injured. "Quick! Where are the medics?" Shen Huai Min shouted desperately.
However, before losing consciousness, Shen Jingyu instructed Luo Hao: "Quick! Pursue! Block all surrounding traffic routes and expand the search area towards the mountains! He’s injured too! He can’t run far!" Rong Xigu immediately arranged for military vehicles to transport both Shen Jingyu and Su Xing back to base.
The impact of this incident is immense. An international fugitive invaded the public's mobile phones, live-streaming a murder, and ultimately managed to escape! This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to national defense.
Rong Xigu arranged for people to escort Shen Jingyu and Su Xing away, along with other injured individuals who seemed to be suffering from some kind of poison; they all needed temporary isolation for treatment. Rong Xigu's deputy, Ji Chen, was in charge of the tracking team. Luo Hao not only had to bring Qin Yi back from abroad but also had to ensure that all traces of the hacker intrusion were eliminated.
Meanwhile, the Public Security Department had Du Meng following closely behind Shen Huai Min today, not daring to breathe a word. By dawn tomorrow, things were likely to spiral out of control! Keeping a murderer hidden while the public was aware would surely cause widespread panic.
However, Xiao Jie seemed like a ghost, eluding capture despite thousands searching for him without any trace. Han Ruoxi was not far from the scene, watching everything unfold from a distance. Before she could fully process her fear, she was whisked away again. On the way, she bombarded her bodyguards with questions: Was Jing Yu out? Had they caught him? What about Su Xing?
The bodyguards remained tight-lipped, as if their mouths had been sewn shut. Su Xing had actually woken up even earlier than Shen Jingyu; they were in the same high-ranking hospital room, with their two single beds pushed together. Out of modesty, Su Xing felt shy because Shen Jingyu was holding her hand tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she tried.
"You’re awake! I’ll notify the doctor," he said.
The busy nurse immediately pushed the door open and stepped out. Su Xing turned her head to look at Shen Jingyu. Last night, he had sustained many injuries while protecting her. Even though she was disoriented during his fight with the murderer, she still felt his protective presence and sensed the smell of blood on him.
When the nurse opened the door again, it wasn’t just the doctor who entered; a group of soldiers dressed in olive green followed, along with personnel from other units. They stared directly at Su Xing.
"Su Xing, how are you feeling?" asked a young man at the front. He bore some resemblance to Shen Jingyu in demeanor but was entirely different; he exuded an aura of military vigor and righteousness, likely accentuated by his uniform.
In contrast, Shen Jingyu seemed to carry more of a business-like air, tinged with a cold detachment.
