Moreover, having been slapped by him before, his dignity had not yet recovered.
"Alright, no more nonsense with you guys, you take this woman back, a woman out alone at night is dangerous, and it’s unbelievable that Third Young Master Jun would let you co back alone," Ling Xiu said spitefully, but he still showed concern for Ye Lu.
Ye Lu and Ling Yan watched him enter the waiting room.
Then Ling Yan drove the car to take Ye Lu back.
...
In the quiet of the night on this secluded road on the outskirts of the city, it was very quiet. For over ten minutes, not a single car passed by. All around, nothing but the sounds of insects and the cawing of crows in the mountains could be heard, one after another like ghosts in the dark, chilling to the bone.
All of Third Young Master Jun’s personnel lay concealed in the forest underbrush, their hiding skills superb. Everyone was silent, quietly waiting for the shocking assassination to unfold.
At nine forty, the only satellite communicator in the field vibrated in Third Young Master Jun’s hand.
Third Young Master Jun lowered his head, his cold, bloodthirsty eyes briefly scanning the ssage on the screen.
It was from an outpost he had placed ten kiloters away on this road. The mont they spotted Old Ling’s vehicle, they would notify them imdiately.
"All units, combat readiness level one, target arrives in ten minutes! Kill, no rcy, leave no survivors!" his voice, cold as ice, echoed through the air like a ghostly presence from hell.
This startled a flock of crows in the woods into a sudden, frantic flight, their flapping wings tearing the last shred of tranquility from the night sky.
Feiyu, at his side, felt his heart rate suddenly spike.
Clutching the gun that had already been loaded, his eyes fixed on the dark end of the road, he felt a mix of nervousness, fear, and excitent...
anwhile, a whistle from Lie Feng in the mountains across the road signaled that he had received the ssage.
Everyone held their breath, their focus at its peak, nerves stretched tight as a string. Although silent, a tension hung in the misty mountain air.
The ten minutes passed quickly, yet slower than eternity, until at last, it arrived.
Three inconspicuous black vehicles, nothing special about them, drove at a steady pace down the road.
Coming from the dark side of the road, the three vehicles looked exactly alike, making it impossible to tell which was the principal car and which ones were the decoy vehicles.
A flicker of doubt crossed the cold eyes of Third Young Master Jun. It was common for important figures to travel in several identical vehicles to confuse observers, making it unclear which one was the actual target.
The intense mont of the three vehicles’ arrival was about a minute away.
And in that minute, he had to accurately determine which vehicle contained Old Ling.
Feiyu raised his middle finger in silence, asking if it might be the middle car?
Third Young Master Jun shook his head, his face cold as frost, his eyes ruthless, his mind racing like lightning.
Normally, the principal car is in the middle, flanked by the decoy vehicles for protection. But such a predictable pattern is unlikely for soone as battle-hardened and tactically knowledgeable as Old Ling.
Furthermore, having the principal car in the middle poses a great risk, as an attack could be blocked by vehicles both in front and behind. In case the front car is compromised and blocks the way, the principal car would be in a perilous situation.
So...
It must be either the front or the last vehicle.
Third Young Master Jun’s eyes, sharp and rciless as a blade, were fixed on the three cars. His expression suddenly darkened as he snapped his fingers.
At once, everyone was alert, their eyes fixed on the front vehicle, as Third Young Master’s gesture had indicated that this car was their target.
