Chapter 185: He Must Have Endured A Lot

Inside the carriage, which was as warm as spring.

Xiang Lianyun's expression was solemn as he suggested:

"Boss, perhaps we should call for backup first. We don't know how many enemies there are, nor how strong their firepower is; it would be better to be cautious."

Su Xin shook his head:

"If they see that we have backup, they might not show themselves, remaining hidden in the shadows and continuing to pose a threat to us."

"Therefore, it is best to lure them out directly and wipe them all out at once."

Liyuefang frowned and said:

"Boss, there are only two of us, and we cannot fully guarantee your safety. After all, we currently know nothing about the enemy. I suggest we avoid taking risks whenever possible."

Su Xin said decisively: "No more talk. Just follow my arrangements."

"You two observe first and see how many cars are following us."

Xiang Lianyun had a certain understanding of Su Xin and knew that no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so he simply began to observe the surroundings according to Su Xin's orders.

At this moment, the vehicle was still moving slowly through the city center, surrounded by traffic; even though he was proficient in tracking and counter-tracking, it was difficult to identify the followers for the time being.

Liyuefang's face was tense, and she was somewhat hesitant.

She did not understand Su Xin's combat capability, nor did she know his personality.

In her view, Su Xin's behavior was blindly arrogant, failing to realize the severity of the situation.

If they continued to drive toward the remote mountainous areas as Su Xin ordered, they would likely be in danger once surrounded by malicious enemies.

But there was no help for it; she was a bodyguard, and since she took a high salary, she had to shoulder this responsibility.

Moreover, her former superior had previously instructed her to fully obey Su Xin's orders and to protect his safety at the cost of her own life.

"Sigh! I can only take it one step at a time."

Liyuefang sighed softly, her gaze also beginning to search for suspicious followers outside.

As the vehicle continued forward, after turning through several intersections, the two discovered suspicious vehicles.

"A black sedan with the license plate ending in 083, and a silver commercial van with the license plate ending in K62; both of these vehicles are highly suspicious."

"There are people in both the driver and passenger seats, and their gazes wander toward our car from time to time. It looks like they are definitely the ones following us."

"There are at least four people."

"They are all Asian."

"Although the side windows are tinted, based on the normal seating distribution, the number of people in the back seat is usually no less than in the front, so the total number is highly likely to be over eight."

"One of them is a commercial van, which also suggests that the opposing party has quite a few people."

Xiang Lianyun and Liyuefang communicated continuously, their expressions growing increasingly grave.

Liu Xuewei also became somewhat nervous and couldn't help but squeeze Su Xin's hand tightly.

Su Xin gently patted the back of her hand and said calmly:

"Since they are following us in the city rather than lying in ambush at a fixed location beforehand, they cannot be carrying any high-lethality weapons. At most, they have ordinary firearms, which won't be so easy to break through..."

Having said this, Su Xin paused for a moment.

He only then remembered that he had returned to his hometown, and the car he was sitting in was an ordinary sedan bought by his parents, not a custom-made bulletproof vehicle.

Glancing at the worried-looking Liu Xuewei, he continued: "As long as we are careful, there won't be any danger."

"When we drive to a remote road in the suburbs later, just shoot and force their cars to a stop, just like in the movies. Break their tires; with your marksmanship, you should be able to do that, right?"

"No problem."

"Can do."

Xiang Lianyun and Liyuefang said simultaneously.

Both of them were once elites of the Military special forces; whether it was close-quarters combat, marksmanship, or various tactics, they were extremely proficient.

Now that they had both injected the Tianmu No. 3 Agent, their vision had improved in all aspects, and their marksmanship had also improved significantly.

They wouldn't claim they could hit a fly from a hundred meters away, but shooting the tires of a moving car twenty or thirty meters away was simply a piece of cake.

Therefore, even if they had to face more than eight armed thugs, they were not afraid.

However, as bodyguards, their most important duty was to protect the safety of their employer, not to fight the other side to the death.

Their only worry was that if the other side possessed high-lethality weapons, combined with their large numbers, they might break through their defenses and cause harm to Su Xin or Liu Xuewei.

In that case, even if they annihilated all the enemies, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

A protection mission is not the same thing as a combat mission.

Before becoming bodyguards, they had also undergone professional and rigorous bodyguard training and assessment.

Su Xin held Liu Xuewei's hand and reassured her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Mm!"

Liu Xuewei nodded vigorously.

This was the first time in her life she had faced such a scene; armed bodyguards and malicious followers made her subconsciously think of intense car chases and gunfights in movies.

This made her heart pound, and she was so nervous inside that she was afraid a bullet might suddenly fly over from somewhere at any moment.

She gripped Su Xin's hand back, trying to ease her nervous emotions by talking, and asked:

"Was it the same situation when you were attacked last time?"

"More or less."

Su Xin smiled faintly: "Last time they laid an ambush in advance and used bombs and sniper rifles, but in the end, they still didn't cause us any harm."

"Bombs? Sniper rifles?"

Liu Xuewei couldn't help but gasp.

She hadn't heard Su Xin mention the details of the attack before and had thought it was just an ordinary attack with knives or guns.

But they used bombs and sniper rifles?

In Long Country, she had never heard of an attack incident with such a vile nature.

"So, in places I couldn't see, Su Xin has actually experienced so many dangers!"

"Everyone thinks he is just an all-around scientific research genius, feeling that his life and career have been smooth sailing, but in places where no one can see, he has also silently endured so much."

"Working hard on research, being envied and hated by others, being assassinated, and still having to appear so confident and strong, leading the entire group forward."

"His heart must be very tired."

Liu Xuewei's heart was full of pity; she gripped Su Xin's hand tightly and said affectionately:

"Su Xin, in the future, don't bury all the pressure in your heart. When you feel tired, you can relax a bit, or you can find me to talk."

Su Xin looked at her in confusion: "Huh?"

The sudden change of topic left him a bit bewildered for a moment.

However, seeing that Liu Xuewei was no longer as nervous as she had been just a moment ago, he also felt a bit more at ease.

He originally did not want to let Liu Xuewei be in danger, but now that they had been targeted, it was impossible to let Liyuefang take Liu Xuewei back by herself.

That would be even more dangerous instead.

At a time like this, only by staying with him could Liu Xuewei's safety have sufficient protection.
