Lan Xingyue froze for a mont, then nodded. "That's right, Yue'er has grown up with since childhood. I trust her character; there's no way she's the traitor."
Lin Chen nodded as well. "I believe the traitor is soone else."
"Could it be that you've already figured it out?" Lan Xingyue asked, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded. "We need to wait for her to slip up before we can deal with her. But for now, our priority is rescuing Yue'er."
"Alright, I'll go save Xiaoyue. If anything happens to , you'll lead everyone forward," Lan Xingyue said resolutely, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"If you go, you'll just end up being another hostage for them to use. I'll go instead," Lin Chen said flatly.
"You'll go?" Lan Xingyue paused in surprise.
"I'm the best candidate. Besides, Yue'er is one of my team mbers. Trust , I'll bring her back," Lin Chen said in a firm tone.
"But your injuries…"
"There's no room for doubt. I'm already healed. If you want Yue'er back alive, then just stay here and wait for ," Lin Chen said in a grave tone.
Lan Xingyue nodded seriously. "Lin Chen, I'm counting on you!"
"Don't worry, I'll bring her back," Lin Chen replied as he stood up.
It was deep into the night. Aside from a few patrolling sentries pacing back and forth, the entire village was eerily silent.
At that mont, a figure slipped into the forest like a shadow, silent and undetected.
As Lin Chen stepped out of the village, he noticed a figure under the moonlight and let out a bitter laugh. "Xiaohua, are you reading my mind or sothing?"
Zhao Xiaohua responded calmly, "Haan is not a simple guy. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you."
Lin Chen nodded. "Alright, with you here, I'd say we have a foolproof plan."
Under the night sky, two silhouettes darted quickly through the forest. Though shrouded in darkness, neither of them faltered as they dashed forward in tandem, disappearing swiftly into the night.
Approximately twenty minutes later, they began to slow down.
Not far ahead lay the rcenary camp. Lin Chen whispered, "I'll go in to rescue her; you stay outside to cover ."
Zhao Xiaohua nodded. "Alright! Once you act, I'll eliminate all the hidden sentries outside."
Lin Chen made an "OK" gesture before swiftly vanishing into the forest.
As Lin Chen disappeared, Zhao Xiaohua was not particularly curious. In her mind, anything unbelievable that happened around Lin Chen was simply par for the course.
Once inside the forest, Lin Chen activated his stealth mode.
Despite the countless hidden sentries surrounding the forest, Lin Chen infiltrated the camp like a phantom, silent and unnoticed.
Through his vision-enhancing abilities, he quickly spotted Yue'er being pinned down on a bed by several rcenaries.
"Let go of , you bastards!" Yue'er struggled with all her might.
"Let go of you? I haven't seen a woman since entering this forest, and now that we've caught a little beauty like you, there's no way we're letting you go," one of the rcenaries said, a wicked grin stretching across his face.
One rcenary held Yue'er's arm while another yanked her hair, his crazed expression showing no signs of restraint.
"Hehe, Bucchi, this Chinese chick is quite sothing, isn't she? Why don't we share her together, boys?" Several rcenaries nearby burst into laughter.
"Of course! You've risked your necks following all this ti, so I wouldn't let you go without a reward. Tonight, we'll enjoy this stunning beauty to the fullest." With that, Bucchi laughed maniacally as he reached to pull off Yue'er's shirt.
"You scumbags! Sister Xingyue won't let you get away with this! She'll avenge for sure!" Yue'er shouted desperately, her face pale as she struggled frantically.
"Your sister? Haha, don't worry. Soon, we'll capture your sister too," the rcenaries laughed uproariously.
At that mont, a man was suddenly thrown into the room, crashing heavily into Bucchi.
Bucchi was sent rolling to the ground, dazed and disoriented.
He clambered to his feet, stunned.
Standing at the doorway was a young man from China.
"It's you," Bucchi snarled, his face contorted in rage.
"Get him, boys! Whoever catches the brat will be handsoly rewarded," Bucchi ordered, shouting at the rcenaries behind him.
The rcenaries drew their knives and charged toward Lin Chen.
Bucchi's grin twisted into a cruel smirk. This group of rcenaries had followed him for seven or eight years and hailed from elite special forces across the globe. Close combat was their specialty.
In Bucchi's mind, Lin Chen wouldn't last more than a few minutes before being taken down and captured.
Yet, almost instantly, the sounds of bones cracking and agonized screams erupted.
Bucchi was completely unprepared for what he saw next. The n he considered his strongest fighters were now writhing on the ground in agony.
As a master in close combat himself, Bucchi quickly realized that his comrades had all suffered shattered joints in their legs.
"What strength!" Bucchi felt a sudden chill in his chest.
Lin Chen's movents had been so fast that Bucchi hadn't even caught sight of them. His n had lost the ability to resist in an instant.
Bucchi's expression darkened as he raised his AK rifle.
"Don't move, or I'll blow your head off," Bucchi roared, aiming the muzzle directly at Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen seed unfazed, instead stepping slowly toward Bucchi.
An icy aura enveloped Bucchi, making his hands tremble as he clutched the gun.
"Stop right there, you bastard! Didn't you hear ?" Bucchi bellowed at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen disregarded the threat completely, his pace steady as he closed the distance.
With each step Lin Chen took, Bucchi felt the weight of the pressure increase.
"Die!" Bucchi, unable to contain his fear any longer, pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A hail of bullets erupted from the chamber.
Known as the Jungle Hawk, Bucchi wielded the AK with unparalleled precision.
Each shot was calculated to block Lin Chen's escape routes completely.
But to Bucchi's horror, the next mont he saw a blur as Lin Chen's figure appeared right before him. Before he could react, Lin Chen's blade had already plunged deep into his thigh.
"Argh!"
Blood sprayed everywhere as Bucchi's face turned ghostly pale, overco by excruciating pain.
"Daring to lay a hand on my comrades? Your end will be miserable," Lin Chen said coldly, punctuating his words with a savage kick to Bucchi's groin.
"Bang!"
The brutal impact sent Bucchi flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Agh!" Bucchi let out a blood-curdling scream, his groin reduced to a mangled ss. He slipped into unconsciousness.
"Lin Chen!" Yue'er exclaid, stunned by Lin Chen's ruthlessness. These were world-renowned rcenaries, each a highly trained soldier of unparalleled skill, yet Lin Chen had utterly destroyed them.
