Chapter 187: Directly Executed

"Squeak!"

The driver, who had been shot, was still conscious. Seeing the vehicle lose control, he hurriedly corrected the steering wheel and instinctively slammed on the brakes.

Yet this action caused the vehicle to lose control completely. After the tires rubbed frantically against the ground for a moment, it flipped onto its side and rolled several times before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, only a few seconds had passed since the black sedan had crashed into the roadside guardrail and stopped.

The three people in the sedan had originally prepared to continue the pursuit in their vehicle, which had already suffered a blown tire, but just as they drove back onto the asphalt road, they saw the business van flip over.

This startled the three of them.

"Don't pursue!"

"Stop quickly!"

"It looks like Chuanmu-san was shot. Being able to accurately hit the driver of another moving vehicle while sitting in a moving sedan—the opponent's marksmanship is terrifying."

"Besides, our tire has already blown out; it's impossible to catch up even if we wanted to."

"Get out of the car and rescue them!"

After a brief exchange, the three hurriedly drove their vehicle to the side of the overturned business van and stopped.

And at this moment.

They were surprised to find that Su Xin's vehicle ahead had not left directly, but had stopped at a distance of several dozen meters.

"Everyone, be careful!"

"They might very well continue to attack."

The driver, Guishan, hurriedly warned them while unbuckling his seatbelt. He quickly crouched down, hiding his entire body within the car frame as much as possible, and carefully opened the door, preparing to move outward.

But just at this moment.

"Bang!"

As the gunshot rang out, a bullet pierced the front windshield and penetrated his temple.

Under the force of the massive impact, Guishan's head and his entire upper body tilted instantly, leaving him leaning against the seat in an extremely awkward posture.

Before the others could react.

Another bullet pierced the front windshield, instantly killing the man in the passenger seat as well.

Such miraculous marksmanship made the only survivor in the sedan lose his wits; he carefully huddled in the back seat, not daring to move for a long time.

"Nice marksmanship."

Xiang Lianyun praised, then said sternly: "I'm going over; you cover me."

"Understood."

Liyuefang had already exited the vehicle, crouching halfway beside the car body, using it to shield herself. Only her head and her two arms holding the gun were exposed, her gaze fixed sharply on the two vehicles dozens of meters away.

Those two shots just now were her handiwork.

Back when she was in service, she was known as a sharpshooter. Now, having injected the Tianmu No. 3 Agent, her visual range reached over a thousand meters, and her dynamic vision was several times stronger than an ordinary person's.

To her, the moving vehicles dozens of meters away were like turtles crawling slowly before her.

For a marksman, the three personal factors that determine shooting accuracy are a calm heart, sharp eyes, and steady hands.

What is called "sharp" means precision.

Eyesight is extremely important for shooting accuracy.

Her current eyesight was several times stronger than when she was in the military, so her marksmanship naturally improved significantly as a result.

Even if the opponent only exposed half a head through a gap, she was confident she could hit it with one shot from dozens of meters away.

"It's fine, they will handle it."

Inside the cabin, Su Xin gently patted the back of Liu Xuewei's hand and smiled gently.

Liu Xuewei smiled weakly and was just about to say something when she heard another slightly muffled gunshot from outside.

She was so startled that her neck shrank slightly, and she buried her head into Su Xin's embrace.

Su Xin sat upright, as steady as Mount Tai, his left hand gently wrapping around Liu Xuewei's slender waist, his gaze calm and distant.

Outside the car.

Liyuefang held her gun with both hands, staring sharply ahead. Whenever she detected movement from the enemies, she fired without hesitation.

Under her miraculous marksmanship, the several people from Sakura Country who crawled out of the two vehicles did not dare to show their heads at all, suppressed by her alone.

Xiang Lianyun circled around to approach the two vehicles from the other side. After only a minute or two of confrontation, he subdued all the people from Sakura Country.

Of course, because his own manpower was limited, Xiang Lianyun had no intention of leaving many survivors; except for three wounded, he killed all the others.

And the three survivors left behind had both their palms shot through, unable to even hold a gun, and could only sit paralyzed on the ground, groaning incessantly.

In past missions, even when facing brutal drug traffickers or small warlords, Xiang Lianyun would never have used such ruthless methods.

But regarding the protection of Su Xin, his superiors had once instructed him: better to kill the wrong person than to let one go.

As long as he was executing the mission to protect Su Xin, his authority to fire was equivalent to that of a total war period; there was no need to worry about humanitarianism, let alone specifically leave survivors.

Everything was prioritized toward protecting Su Xin.

Therefore, no matter when, in situations where Su Xin might be in danger, Xiang Lianyun would often choose to evade first.

If he truly could not evade, he would strike ruthlessly without hesitation.

Inside the cabin.

Hearing the gunfire outside cease completely, Liu Xuewei slowly raised her head.

Just then, Liyuefang said from outside the car window:

"Boss, the enemies have been subdued."

Su Xin nodded and said calmly: "Very well, then call someone to handle it. Once there are results from the subsequent interrogation, remember to inform me in time."

Liu Xuewei finally let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Xin with surprise and admiration, asking:

"Why can you be so calm? Those people were all carrying guns."

"Because Brother Xiang and the others are very strong; with them protecting us, we won't have any trouble."

Su Xin smiled.

Liu Xuewei looked at Liyuefang, who was picking up her phone to make a call outside the car window, and said sincerely:

"Their marksmanship is truly impressive; they subdued those armed bandits so easily."

Indeed, to an outsider like Liu Xuewei, the entire battle had been far too easy.

Xiang Lianyun and his companion had simply fired a few shots from the car, then stopped and fired a few more; the whole thing took only two or three minutes, and the battle was over.

It was nothing like the danger she had imagined.

Even though Liu Xuewei had not seen the battle itself, she could understand that it wasn't that the opponents were incompetent, but that their two bodyguards were simply too powerful.

"That goes without saying; the bodyguards arranged for us by those above are all the strongest elites."

Su Xin smiled slightly.

In his heart, he had already begun to ponder a strategy for dealing with this incident.

Although he had not been in any danger during this attack, he could not allow the enemy to keep launching wave after wave of assaults to cause him trouble.

He had to find a way to retaliate against them and truly deter other factions.

The previous hacker attack against Yingjiang Country showed that actions that were too covert could not achieve the necessary deterrent effect.

Moreover, the blow to Yingjiang Country was not significant; it only caused them some losses and some chaos, without truly hurting their foundation.

Therefore.

This time, if he were to retaliate, he had to demonstrate even greater destructive power and deterrence.

And he had to make sure people knew it was his doing.

However, his Tianqi Group was, after all, just a company; although its influence was currently great, it was still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, and it was impossible to openly retaliate against an official government.

Su Xin's eyes turned cold as various ideas flashed through his mind.
