Chu Yunxiong had rushed to Wild Boar Ridge as soon as he heard the news that Chu Yue had been attacked. He had also arrived when the police found Chu Yue.
More than fifty men in standard suits stood with their hands behind their backs. Chu Yunxiong stood at the front. He was not tall and slightly plump. His aged face broke into a young and gentle smile when he saw that his daughter, Chu Yue, was unharmed.
"Old fool, I thought I would never see you again, sob sob …"
Chu Yue threw herself into Chu Yunxiong's arms and burst into tears. Her delicate body was trembling like a frightened deer. She had been scared out of her wits this afternoon. She had witnessed the scene of dead people and experienced firsthand what a cruel battlefield was like. She felt like she had walked through hell.
"It's okay, it's all in the past. It's okay!"
Chu Yunxiong patted Chu Yue's back lovingly to comfort her. His cloudy eyes were filled with deep self-blame. He had brought all this disaster to his daughter. If he could, he would rather bear all of it himself. If anything happened to Chu Yue this time, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"Team Leader Gu, we found the bodies of seventeen foreigners. Based on their attire and weapons, they should be mercenaries."
On the other side, Officer Xiao Wang was reporting the current situation to Gu Qianlin. "Our SWAT team is conducting a thorough search of Wild Boar Ridge. If there are any new discoveries, they will report to us immediately."
"Who killed the seventeen mercenaries? Chu Yue's bodyguards?" Gu Qianlin asked.
Officer Xiao Wang shook his head. "No, two of Miss Chu Yue's bodyguards were shot and knocked unconscious."
"If it wasn't them, who could it be? Could there be other people besides Chu Yue and her bodyguards at the scene? "Gu Qianlin was puzzled.
"I'm not sure. Fang Chongqiang, who called the police, only said that a group of mercenaries wanted to harm Miss Chu Yue. He didn't mention anyone else. Our SWAT team hasn't found any traces of other people so far," Officer Xiao Wang said.
Gu Qianlin frowned and looked at Chu Yue. The most direct way to find out who killed the seventeen mercenaries was to ask Chu Yue, who was safe and sound. She did what she thought. She was not afraid of the fifty bodyguards in black. She walked up to Chu Yue and asked sincerely, "Miss Chu, can you tell me who saved you?"
Chu Yue instinctively wanted to say Xiao Luo's name, but she suddenly remembered Xiao Luo's instructions before he left. Although she didn't know why, she immediately stopped and shook her head. "I don't know. I … I don't know anything."
"Officer Gu, my daughter is in shock. If you want to ask her, you should wait a few more days!"
Chu Yunxiong shielded Chu Yue behind him. His tone was firm. Then, he ignored Gu Qianlin and said to Chu Yue, "Little Yue, let's go home."
Accompanied by Leng Zuo and Leng You, two special bodyguards, they walked into a Land Rover off-road vehicle. The fifty or so bodyguards were like well-trained soldiers. They got into the car in an orderly manner, and the fleet of cars drove away.
"Tsk, tsk … That's really impressive. No wonder he's Boss Chu!"
Officer Xiao Wang and the other police officers were fascinated by the scene. They would never be able to have such an imposing manner in their entire lives. The fifty or so bodyguards were all retired special forces soldiers. Moreover, they had received special permission from the government to carry guns. Not only in Jiangcheng, but even in the whole of Hua City, the number of businessmen who received such special treatment could be counted on one's fingers.
"If you're jealous, you can submit your resignation to me. I'll approve it immediately. You can go into business like Chu Yunxiong. I wish you success in advance," Gu Qianlin said with his hands behind his back.
Officer Xiao Wang put away the envy on his face and smiled awkwardly. "Captain Gu, I was just kidding." Then, he stood up straight with a serious face, puffed out his chest, and said righteously, "I, Wang Hanxuan, have been a police officer for a day, and I'll be a police officer for life. I will never live under the same sky as evil!"
Gu Qianlin kicked him without hesitation. "Who doesn't know how to shout slogans? Don't use such empty words when you're working under me, do you hear me?"
"Yes, sir."
Wang Hanxuan endured the burning pain in his buttocks and responded loudly.
At this time, the SWAT team leader's report sounded over the walkie-talkie. "Six armed men have been found. They're escaping in the southwest direction!"
Gu Qianlin frowned, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said firmly, "Follow them closely. Also, you must be careful. Professional mercenaries will set up landmines during their escape. Don't fall into their traps."
"Yes, Captain Gu!"
"All teams, listen up. Immediately surround the southwest direction. You must stop those armed men!"
After giving the order, Gu Qianlin put on his bulletproof vest and personally led the team to reinforce the enemy. Wang Hanxuan and the other police officers were stunned by his valiance. They thought to themselves, This is really a domineering flower. He's ridiculously beautiful, but also ridiculously valiant.
…
Xiao Luo was naturally surrounded by the police, but he had already knocked out a SWAT team member and quickly changed into his uniform.
After putting on the bulletproof helmet, it was difficult for the other SWAT team members to realize that he was a fake. Taking advantage of the fact that the SWAT team's attention was focused on the southwest direction, he quietly made his way to the periphery of the encirclement. He then followed a small path and left Wild Boar Ridge.
"I hope that Chu Yue didn't betray me. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble!" Xiao Luo muttered to himself.
If the police found out that he had single-handedly killed seventeen mercenaries, he was afraid that he would be put on the police's list of dangerous persons. First, he was not a veteran, and second, he was not a member of any government organization. Yet, he had such strength. It would be strange if the police did not trust him. They would probably use torture to force him to confess everything.
Getting the police's attention was a small matter. He was afraid that he would be blacklisted by the government. Then, his every move would be monitored.
But who would believe that he had the Genius System? People would definitely think that he was crazy!
…
He stole … no, took a set of clothes from a farmer's house in a small mountain village and changed his appearance. Finally, he took a taxi back to Huaye. It was his first time killing someone. At the time, he did not feel anything, but now he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"System, what's wrong with me? Didn't the Mercenary King's Constitution change my nature? Why do I still feel uncomfortable after killing someone?" Xiao Luo asked as he lay on the bed.
"Ding! Although the Mercenary King's Constitution has changed the host's nature, you are still you. You cannot change the fact that this is your first time killing someone. It is normal for you to feel uncomfortable." The System's clear female voice sounded in his mind.
I'm still me?
