<strong>Chapter 1416: Chapter 1417: Discovered During a Failed Escape</strong>


    “I saw him. Hurry and pursue!” Wang Li was the most aggressive in the chase, and only Xiang Yu was performing amidst the pursuit, leaving Wang Li unsettled and eager to embarrass Xiang Yu.


    Although there were armored vehicles chasing them from behind, their speed wasn’t fast. He couldn’t worry about that too much, even if it meant abandoning the mission.


    Tie Zhuzi was driving up front; noticing vehicles chasing him, he cursed and sped up.


    Xiao Xuan was keeping an eye on the situation from above. Seeing Tie Zhuzi’s speed, he reminded him, “What are you doing, Zhuzi?”


    Tie Zhuziughed heartily, “Can’t you see? That bunch of **** is chasing me.”


    At the rear in thest car, Li Bingbing and Wang Dayong exchanged nces, offering each other a bitter smile without speaking.


    They couldn’t understand why Xiang Yu was silent and wouldn’t stop.


    Luckily, it was nighttime, and the road was deserted, allowing them to race freely down the streets.


    The citizens here were used to this situation; sometimes, shells would unexpectedlynd amidst them in the middle of the night, and they were no longer surprised.


    “Wang Li, keep pursuing from the front. The two behind, go intercept them over there,” Ivan quicklymanded.


    The two behind received the orders and immediately turned to head in different directions.


    “Xiang Yu, you’re pretty fast.” Wang Li pressed the gas pedal continually but couldn’t catch up with the car ahead.


    Ivan was puzzled too; he didn’t understand why Xiang Yu was behaving this way.


    Throughout this journey, Xiang Yu had performed normally, demonstrating strong reconnaissance abilities.


    Now Xiang Yu was leading two people climbing upstairs.


    “I can’t keep climbing,” Xu Wanguan called from behind.


    Though the building wasn’t high, for Xu Wanguan, who was not used to exercising, it was as if facing the Great Wall of China.


    Xiang Yu quickly scaled up, reaching out a hand from above.


    Xu Wanguan didn’t hesitate, grabbing Xiang Yu’s hand to climb upwards.


    Once he was pulled up, Xiang Yu reached out again to help Cheng Wn ascend.


    “I can manage,” Cheng Wn said, skillfully and effortlessly jumping up.


    They were now on top of a trading street. The buildings weren’t tall, but they were interconnected.


    This allowed Xiang Yu and the others to traverse the rooftops all the way to the street’s end.


    “Let’s go,” Xiang Yu said, moving toward the distance.


    Cheng Wn and Xu Wanguan followed behind.


    Cheng Wn, the leader of the Orchid Group and the captain of the Orchid Mercenary Corps, was now following Xiang Yu and taking his orders, seemingly naturally.


    She felt nothing amiss, and following Xiang Yu, watching his back, Cheng Wn felt an inexplicable sense of happiness and security.


    “Don’t make a sound,” Xiang Yu suddenly cautioned.


    Below, not far from them, an armored cary in wait, vigntly parked there.


    An opening at the front of the armored vehicle allowed a view of the outside.


    It was a critical moment; if they were spotted, it might anger the opponent.


    Xu Wanguan understood the gravity of the situation and tightly followed behind Xiang Yu, hardly daring to breathe.


    The three carefully proceeded forward, knowing that once they passed here, they could exit the armored vehicle’s blockade and stealthily head to the venue.


    Just as they were about to pass, Xiang Yu suddenly had an ominous feeling.


    It was a crisis awareness developed from years on the battlefield.


    “Get down,” Xiang Yu said, pulling Cheng Wn’s hand and shielding her as they dropped onto the rooftop.


    Meanwhile, Xu Wanguan was pulled by Xiang Yu to hide behind something resembling a chimney on the rooftop.


    Just then, Xiang Yu felt pain in his shoulder; a bullet pierced through him and hit the roof below, kicking up dust.


    The bullet was less than five centimeters from Cheng Wn’s head; she could even feel the heat from it.


    Blood oozed from Xiang Yu’s shoulder, staining Cheng Wn’s face.


    Xiang Yu quickly pulled Cheng Wn up and, like Xu Wanguan, hid there.


    “Xiao Xuan, there’s a sniper,” Xiang Yu whispered into his earpiece.


    Xiao Xuan had nced at Tie Zhuzi’s side and didn’t notice the danger Xiang Yu was in.


    “Brother,” Xiao Xuan became anxious, seeing Xiang Yu speaking peculiarly and hidden.


    “I’m fine. Find him,” Xiang Yu said simply.


    Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth and scanned around, deeply remorseful for his oversight leading Xiang Yu into danger.


    “Can you move your hand first?” Cheng Wn softly said.


    Xiang Yu was startled, realizing his hand was unwittingly gripping something soft, with a hint of warmth.


    Realizing what was happening, Xiang Yu quickly withdrew his hand, coughed lightly withoutmenting.


    “Let’s stay hidden here for now and not move,” Xiang Yu instructed.


    Both Cheng Wn and Xu Wanguan nodded.


    “Let me bandage you,” Cheng Wn said, worriedly looking at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu threw himself at her without hesitation earlier, which deeply touched her. That warmth and security were feelings she’d never experienced before.


    Cheng Wn had a close friendship with Zhong Min, feelingfortable with her, but it was an entirely different sentiment now.


    “I’m fine, just a scratch,” Xiang Yu indifferently responded.


    He was ustomed to injuries; minor wounds like these were trivial to him.


    “Don’t move,” Cheng Wn sternlymanded, pressing Xiang Yu’s shoulder before tearing his shirt with a ripping sound.


    As Cheng Wn prepared to bandage Xiang Yu, suddenly, a barrage of bullets came from below.


    “Quickly, run!” Xiang Yu pulled Cheng Wn along.


    Xu Wanguan followed closely behind.


    They didn’t expect the people on the armored vehicle were so alert to find them.


    “Move with me, sway side to side, don’t make a pattern,” Xiang Yu urgently instructed.<fn459e> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find~novel</fn459e>


    A sniper somewhere behind unnerved Xiang Yu.


    Though capable of dodging the sniper’s deadly shot, Xu Wanguan was in greater danger.


    “Brother, I can’t find his silhouette,” Xiao Xuan said, feeling dejected.


    The opponent evidently was a skilled hidden shooter, disappearing after firing a shot.


    “Stay calm, steady yourself,” Xiang Yu shouted as he ran.


    The three continued running forward, while the armored vehicle followed, sporadically firing at them.


    The night’s quiet was utterly shattered, with the armored vehicle acting deranged, continuously pursuing them. Xiang Yu felt an urge to curse; the situation was frustrating…
