79: Chapter 78: It’s You Again 79: Chapter 78: It’s You Again In the midst of a tremendous clamor, the business van finally stopped tumbling and lay sideways in the ruins of a demolished area by the roadside.

Several seconds later, a few bright beams of light shone over, turning the vicinity as bright as day.

Chu Yi wiped the blood trickling from a cut on his forehead and squinted to take a look around.

The four off-road vehicles stopped about twenty meters away and no longer approached, with over a dozen people disembarking and each vehicle’s roof half-exposing a person, who seemed to be holding guns at the ready.

“They’re really using guns, huh.”

Chu Yi became serious.

No matter how skilled in martial arts, one still fears a kitchen knife, let alone guns.

If it were a fistfight, he wouldn’t fear these people, even if they were well-trained; but with guns involved, that was a different story.

All those years of diligent practice might as well bow down to a single lead ball.

“About twenty people on the opposite side, armed, can’t fight head-on, Senior Sister, Sister Mei, take Lingyue and head to the ruins behind, try to hide as much as possible.”

“Alright!”

They agreed without any objection.

If they had said something like insisting on sticking together at that moment, Chu Yi estimated he would have slapped them right away…

“Get ready!”

After crawling out through the ‘door’ that was the sunroof, Chu Yi asked Sister Mei for a grenade.

He pulled the pin and threw it toward the opposing vehicle fleet.

But just as the grenade left his hand, Chu Yi’s heart suddenly tightened, his sharp sixth sense blaring an alarm.

Without any thought, the instant his alarm bells rang, Chu Yi moved to retreat behind the business van.

However, at that moment, a muffled gunshot rang out.

“Pfft!”

Splat!

Chu Yi’s arm stung with burning pain as blood splattered.

Damnit, wounded before even engaging!

Frowning slightly, Chu Yi tore off a strip of cloth, ready to wrap it around the wound, when Wei Mei passed him a pack of emergency wound dressings.

“Use this.”

Chu Yi took it and bit it open; inside was an oversized adhesive bandage, which he simply slapped onto the wound.

Luckily, it was just a graze from the bullet, not a big deal.

“Be careful, their marksmanship is surprisingly good.”

“Boom!”

As Chu Yi spoke, the sound of the grenade explosion erupted.

However, it didn’t explode among the vehicles but rather thirty meters away, clearly having been discovered and thrown farther by those men.

“Give me the gun, and another firecracker.

When I tell you to go, run towards the ruins immediately.”

After receiving a handgun, Chu Yi again pulled the pin on a grenade.

After a two-second delay, he hurled it and simultaneously shouted, “Go!”

Wei Mei and Shao Yu immediately supported Han Lingyue as they ran towards the ruins.

The remnants of the old buildings provided enough cover for a guerrilla-style skirmish and greatly limited the effectiveness of firearms.

Just as they started to move, the attackers on the opposite side noticed and pointed their dark muzzles towards them.

“Boom!”

“Bang, bang, bang…”

As the grenade exploded, Chu Yi picked up the pistol and pulled the trigger repeatedly, adopting a posture reminiscent of a badass gangster, careful not to show his head.

Twelve bullets were emptied in seconds, and not unexpectedly, no one on the opposite side was hit.

However, their missed opportunity to attack the Senior Sister and the others was enough.

“Fuck!”

The attackers cursed in a foreign language.

Chu Yi raised an eyebrow—he knew that one!

These guys were actually foreigners…

Chu Yi clicked his tongue in amazement.

While money could turn the mills of gods, using hot weapons wasn’t impossible, but for foreigners to use them within the realms of Hua Country was crossing the line.

Just at that moment, the foreigner suddenly spoke up.

“Chu Yi!

If you surrender, we can let you go, otherwise, you only have a dead end!”

His words were clear and precise; if not for the curse in a foreign language he had just uttered, Chu Yi would not have thought of him as a foreigner.

But immediately a wave of confusion washed over him.

“You actually know me?”

“Of course, we always investigate our targets thoroughly before carrying out a mission,” the foreigner said, then abruptly changed tack, “You were hired by Han Likuo, right?

A mere million a year, why bother risking your life?

Hand over Han Lingyue to us, and I can give you ten million right now, how about that?”

Ten million?

Chu Yi barely stopped himself from laughing out loud.

In the past, he might have been surprised, but now…

Dude has over six hundred million on his card, does he need your millions!

However…

“I think it’s doable!

But she has already run into the ruins behind us, let me leave, and you can catch her yourselves, how about that?”

There was no immediate answer from the vehicles; Chu Yi pricked up his ears and could faintly hear the sound of an argument.

One was the foreigner from before, and the other was a compatriot, whose accent he couldn’t hide.

“We can’t agree to that!

He’s a disciple of Qingcang Mountain; he’s incredibly skilled.

Once he finds an opportunity, we might be the ones in trouble!”

The countryman said urgently, his words suggested they should kill Chu Yi on the spot.

If it weren’t for the guns on the other side, Chu Yi would have liked to go and slap that person’s mouth right now.

“Zheng Yu, your worries are unnecessary.

I know you all are wary of him, but how does that saying go?

Right, ‘once bitten, twice shy.’ But while you are afraid, we are not!”

Zheng Yu?!

At the mention of this name, Chu Yi’s eyebrows shot up.

He certainly didn’t know this person, but he recognized the last name.

Zheng, could it be the Zheng Family?!

Once this guess crossed his mind, Chu Yi believed it to be eighty percent true.

Not many people knew his identity; apart from the people of the Han Family and the special department’s Zhong Hua, the only ones left were from the Zheng Family.

If it wasn’t them providing the information, how would a foreigner know about him?

Thinking this, Chu Yi spoke with a hint of playfulness, “Zheng Yu?

You’re from the Zheng Family, aren’t you?”

The argument on the other end stopped abruptly, Zheng Yu’s mouth twitched, wishing he could strangle Claude in front of him.

You damn, why did you have to say my name!

Not only did you say it, but you also let that guy hear it!

If he doesn’t die here today…

Thinking of his previous actions against the Zheng Family, Zheng Yu shuddered.

It won’t do!

He must die here!

With that thought, Zheng Yu abruptly clutched Claude’s arm, thick as a thigh, “Kill him!

He has six hundred million in his account!

It’s all the Zheng Family’s, and once he’s dead, you can take that money!”

Upon hearing six hundred million, Claude was momentarily stunned.

It wasn’t just him; the surrounding subordinates couldn’t help but turn their heads.

Six hundred million, that’s almost a hundred million in US dollars, they could all become millionaires overnight!

Suddenly, their gazes grew greedy.

“Are you telling the truth?

If you dare to deceive us, we’ll kill all of your family before that kid has a chance to!”

Zheng Yu clenched his teeth; now was not the time to hesitate!

“I swear to God, it’s true!

If it’s not there, we’ll pay!”

With that assurance, Claude and his men were instantly excited, and without a word, they turned their gun barrels toward the overturned business car.

“Fire!”
