The dense flashlights gathered on Lin Hongbin, who was carried off, and his tenacity was deeply imprinted in the minds of the Huaxia audience.
This stood in stark contrast to Liu Minggong, who had just been on the stage for less than a minute.
Moreover, Lin Hongbin, now offstage, showed no intention of leaving, bracing himself and leaning on a chair to watch the ongoing competition.
"Are you okay?" Xiaolei casually asked.
"Still... still fine, just a bit exhausted. These guys are tough."
"Guys? They're actually a few years older than you."
"On the stage, in a real fight to the death, I could definitely take down a couple…"
"Hmm, I believe you."
Fan Lingtian also cast a worried glance in his direction. Upon eye contact, Lin Hongbin smiled to indicate he was okay.
On the stage, He Qiang swiftly entered the fight.
Fan Lingtian was compelled to take out his phone and dial Shen Junjie.
"How's it going, did you pick up Xiaofan?"
"Just got in touch with him, I'm waiting by the intersection, but the city has banned helicopter flights. Although he's on his way, it's uncertain if he'll make it in ti."
"Hmm. Alert as soon as he arrives."
"Yes."
The ti was already 8:20.
The helicopter could only drop Xiaofan off at the base of the special forces, from where they would drive him over.
But, what day is today? It's the 70th-anniversary celebration.
Can the road be cleared?
It's possible... but it's deadlocked.
After connecting with Shen Junjie, Xiaofan knew that the match scenario was still unstable.
In desperation, Xiaofan could only get off the vehicle and sprint over.
To be honest, running like this certainly made him move faster than sitting in the car.
But if he kept sprinting, reaching the match location would surely wear him out.
Taking out the phone Han Shengjun had given him, Xiaofan followed the map route at full speed. After all, he also heard the match situation on the car radio earlier.
"Xiaofan, over here, over here…"
anwhile, Shen Junjie had already run to the spot two streets away, waiting for Xiaofan.
"Brother-in-law…"
"Finally, you're here."
"How's Zuimo? Is she okay?"
"Hmm?"
This kid's first concern upon seeing is Zuimo. What's more important, the match or his loved one?
"Yes, she's fine. She's at Yanhuang Soul now."
"Why is she still there? Didn't she say she'd co out after sorting things?"
"Ah, I don't have ti to explain now. Anyway, she's in Yanhuang Soul. You're not afraid she'd run away, are you?"
"Oh, right."
"Here, this is your match outfit, hurry up and change, and then follow ."
"Alright."
Even with Shen Junjie leading the way, the car couldn't move quickly. At every checkpoint, they had to get out to show ID.
"Such trouble…"
"Ahead is a strictly controlled zone, ID and work proof required. There are five checkpoints set up altogether." Shen Junjie comnted lightly while starting the car again.
"Isn't this road empty? Why can't we go through this way?"
"This road connects to a parade passage, which isn't opened until the parade ends."
"Hello, please show your ID." At this point, the person still didn't intend to let the car leave, eyeing Xiaofan in the passenger seat, asking again for a driver's license.
Xiaofan's ID had long been sent back by Li San from Japan. On him now were no docunts, oh wait, except for one thing.
A golden badge...
"Hello, Chief. Sorry we didn't recognize you. May I ask where you're headed? Shall we clear a path for you?"
Wow, it was Xiaofan's first ti using this golden badge and he hadn't expected such an effect.
"I want to go through here."
"Hey, Xiaofan, that won't work."
"Why not? Anyway, this road is empty."
"But…"
"Chief, we really can't allow passage on this road." The polite guy awkwardly stated.
"Then, are you daring enough to block ?"
"I…"
"Seems like you don't dare."
"Um…"
Just as he spoke, Xiaofan got out, glancing at the nearby police motorcycle.
"Lend this bike."
"Hey, but…"
Upon sitting, he started the bike, shifted gear, and twisted the throttle.
'Vroom...' The motorcycle roared loudly and took off in a flash.
"What, what do we do now?"
"What's going on here, who is this? Quick, stop him." Just then, the captain of the checkpoint ca questioning.
"He, he's the Chief."
"Chief? A re twenty-year-old kid is a Chief? Damn… Are you blind? What if sothing goes wrong…"
"Hu…"
"Hey, Junjie, is that you?"
"That kid has urgent business at Tianann, by Elder Fan's orders. Use the radio to clear his way." Shen Junjie said with resignation.
At such a critical mont, it seems only this kid can dare avoid the hassle.
Evidently, the captain knew Shen Junjie and was aware of who Elder Fan was.
"Really a Chief?"
"Yes, that golden badge of Yanhuang Soul he holds is rare, only less than twenty nationwide, eight of which have passed away. Among the rest, he's the only one under seventy."
"Oh, got it. Hey, Captain Guo, a Chief is riding through your checkpoint. Don't stop him; let him pass."
"Damn, you just call now? That kid… Oh wait, nearly hit the Chief just now, but he's already through. Estimated to be at the third checkpoint by now."
"That fast?"
Over here, Shen Junjie took out his phone to call Fan Lintian.
"What? He headed to the parade passage? That kid… Smart. But… still so distance, co faster."
Fan Lingtian was getting anxious too; such a vital parade road can't be easily breached.
Upon hearing Fan Lingtian's anxious words, Number Two beside him was all frowns, but could do nothing now.
Xiaofan had to be quick. In the car, he heard that after Lin Hongbin, He Qiang lost as well, Xiaolei was already on stage. He had to make it before the fifth contestant went up.
Although Xiaolei defeated an opponent with lightning speed, facing a second one had him engaging in strategic maneuvers. With such depletion, even if he wins the fourth, the fifth would be tough. If the opponent hides a master, neither Li Sai nor Yi Tianhao would likely hold the fort.
