Chapter 679

~14 min read 2,647 words

Gayi was exactly the kind of ruthless, vicious character. He lowered his head to look at Did Ning Chen below, and suddenly found himself a little interested in him.

"I want every piece of information on him," Gayi said, looking down at the truck below him. "The one who broke the person out."

Gayi's words came through the walkie-talkie to the ears of the group's people. The people of Bugu Group had long suspected that Gayi would ask for Did Ning Chen's information, and coupled with the fact that their own internal people were indeed somewhat curious about Did Ning Chen, they had gathered the information early on.

In less than three minutes, all the information was sent to Gayi.

Gayi looked at that dossier and subconsciously frowned.

At first glance, this dossier didn't seem to have any problems—name, home address, phone number were all there, including Did Ning Chen's brief life history.

But looking carefully, one could still find some anomalies.

There was no other reason; it was simply because the contents of Did Ning Chen's dossier were too bland. He seemed to have a very ordinary family, attended ordinary schools, and the people he came into contact with were also very ordinary—this was the kind of profile many normal people had.

But when applied to Did Ning Chen, it made the anomaly all the more conspicuous.

Gayi didn't believe that Did Ning Chen, coming out of such an environment, could have achieved what he has today. If he hadn't deliberately altered his records, then Did Ning Chen had been putting on an act all these years.

The latter possibility was even smaller. Gayi stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Have someone go to this address. I want to see what kind of parents he actually has."

Gayi's finger tapped the home address next to the name. His assistant glanced at it, then lowered his head and had someone set about investigating the matter.

On Did Ning Chen's side, he was looking at the intact wing and sighing. Although this gun's attack power was very strong, to shoot down the plane overhead required an extremely tricky angle and absolute accuracy.

But the truck was still moving, which added another layer of difficulty.

560. Contacting the five people—a heart-stopping maneuver

Master Li kept turning his head to look at Did Ning Chen beside him, staring at the gun in his hand. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, but he asked curiously, "Did you bring this gun from Cangbei? If there's a chance, I'd like to try it too."

Did Ning Chen was fully focused on adjusting his angle. Hearing this, he casually replied, "I have my own channels. It's best not to touch this kind of thing."

Master Li, hearing him say that, didn't dare disturb him any further, and only said, "In another three hours of driving, we'll reach the national border."

Did Ning Chen asked, "That fast?"

Master Li smiled and said, "I'm very familiar with the terrain around here. I know which route is the fastest. If the cars behind us and the plane overhead don't come attack us, I can go even faster."

Did Ning Chen just gave a light laugh and pulled the trigger again.

This time, Did Ning Chen adjusted his angle perfectly. After a few shots, he hit the edge of the wing just right.

No matter how sturdy the material, if several bullets hit the same spot, it would inevitably leave some marks.

Moreover, the gun in Did Ning Chen's hands was no ordinary gun.

Gayi felt the plane jolt again. He opened his mouth, about to curse, when he suddenly felt a sensation of falling.

He quickly raised his head and looked at the pilot. The pilot's expression was also not very composed: "The wing is damaged. We can only lower our altitude! But once we lower our altitude, it's very likely the people below will hit the other wing! When that happens, the plane will crash—that's the worst possible outcome."

Gayi took a deep breath. His eyes had turned crimson because of the pilot's words. His hands gripped the armrest of his seat tightly, and his voice carried a hint of irritability: "Is there any other way?!"

"There is. The safest option is to land the plane at a safe location, let the other planes continue the pursuit, and we... take a temporary rest."

Gayi slammed the seat and roared, "Land! We have no choice but to land!"

The pilot knew Gayi's temper was bad. Hearing him say that, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. Fortunately, his psychological resilience was decent, and he still found a safe spot and brought the plane down.

Gayi could only watch helplessly as the plane he was on touched down, while the vehicle Did Ning Chen was in grew farther and farther away from him.

Did Ning Chen clearly saw this too. He smiled smugly, touched his gun, and aimed at another plane.

Master Li watched from the side, dumbfounded. Although he knew Did Ning Chen's strength was not to be underestimated, he truly hadn't expected him to have this kind of skill—shooting a plane down with a gun. This was a scene he had only ever seen in movies.

If he didn't need to focus on driving right now, Master Li would have wanted to applaud: "You're amazing! You actually shot it down!"

Did Ning Chen said, "We can't celebrate too early yet. There are still several planes... and a lot of cars behind us. Fighting alone, I probably can't be in two places at once."

That was indeed a fact. Master Li sighed, but then thought of something: "You can't handle it alone, but you can have the people behind help out. It's obvious those people don't want to kill us, otherwise they would have done it long ago."

Did Ning Chen's eyes lit up. He had been in a state of high tension and hadn't even thought of this point, so he said, "It's worth a try... but I'm not sure if the other side will get angry and shoot at them out of humiliation. I don't want anyone to get hurt."

Master Li said, "If they don't help, they'll die in the end anyway. Let's give it a shot."

Hearing this, Did Ning Chen's expression softened a little.

Now, the most important question was how to contact the five people behind.

Did Ning Chen thought for a moment and finally came up with only one method. He said, "I have to go out, climb to the rear compartment, and open the door before I can get in touch with them."

Master Li was stunned: "That's too dangerous. Don't you have a phone or something to contact them?"

Did Ning Chen shook his head: "No, there wasn't time. I also have to pass the gun to them. Just making a phone call won't work."

Master Li thought about it, and indeed that was the logic, but climbing from the Congche Sect to the rear compartment was also too dangerous. He said worriedly, "Then be careful. So many people behind are watching you... I'm afraid you'll fall halfway through."

Did Ning Chen didn't say much more, just smiled and shook his head. He reached for the door switch, a "click" sounded, and the door was pushed open by Did Ning Chen.

Did Ning Chen pushed open the car door, stuck his head and half his body out, scanned the rear compartment with his gaze, looking for a suitable foothold.

Fortunately, there was a handle-like design on top of the rear compartment, just a bit higher than the passenger seat. If Did Ning Chen could jump up and grab the handle, he could probably easily flip onto the top of the compartment, then open the door and jump in.

Did Ning Chen had already planned his route. He pushed the door open completely, grabbed the platform on top of the door with one hand, pressed his toes against the edge of the door, supported himself on the platform with both arms, and suddenly lifted his foot.

This was a move that tested arm strength extremely. After Did Ning Chen grabbed the platform, his feet swung twice, and his hands worked together to climb up. Although the platform was a bit slippery, controlling the force well allowed Did Ning Chen to get half his body up.

The wind blowing from the top was quite strong. After Did Ning Chen's whole body got up, the wind blew so hard he could barely keep his eyes open. Master Li below watched Did Ning Chen climb to the top with his heart in his throat, and after confirming he wasn't hurt, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Did Ning Chen lay spread-eagled on top, his hands and feet hooked onto the edge of the platform, inching his way to the left little by little.

This posture made him look like a spider when he lay flat, but it also avoided the possibility of being blown off by the wind.

Did Ning Chen's fingertips finally reached the handle of the compartment, but there was still a small distance between the platform and the compartment. The safest way was to grab the handle first, then move his whole body over.

At this point, Did Ning Chen's heartbeat began to gradually accelerate. The wind speed was very high; the slightest mistake and he would fall. When that happened, the cars behind would very likely run him over directly, resulting in death on the spot.

Did Ning Chen didn't even dare to think about it.

But fortunately, thanks to long-term training, Did Ning Chen's body was still very agile. A series of movements wasn't really difficult for him to complete. When climbing from the platform to the compartment, although his heart was racing, he still made it across.

With the handle, Did Ning Chen could hold onto it and slowly move to the side. This wasn't a high-difficulty move either. Although the wind was a bit strong when moving sideways, it wasn't enough to blow him off.

When Did Ning Chen crawled to the edge of the compartment, he grabbed the compartment with one hand, reached for the compartment door with the other, and after finding the handle and bolt that could open the door, he pulled the bolt.

The door swung open, but Did Ning Chen also exposed his position. The cars continuously approaching from behind had already locked onto his position, their gun barrels aimed directly at Did Ning Chen's face.

And Gayi clearly saw this scene too. His expression turned a little strange: "This guy... isn't afraid of dying?"

561. Arrived at the carriage, handed the real guns to the five people.

Obviously, Did Ning Chen was afraid of dying.

But compared to bullets that could fire at any moment, Did Ning Chen was even more afraid the mission would fail. After all, his skills were decent; even if a bullet could hurt him, it wouldn't be a serious wound.

So Did Ning Chen simply ignored that minor injury and focused intently on looking down. Inside the open carriage door, he saw five people sitting around inside the car box — some with heads lowered, some propping their heads up.

Hearing Chu Muyu was the first to notice the carriage door being opened. He jerked his head up to look toward the door, only to see Did Ning Chen's face appear there. He seemed to be startled, so much so that Hearing Chu Muyu unconsciously scooted backward a little.

But after confirming the person at the door was Did Ning Chen, Hearing Chu Muyu also let out a breath of relief. While carefully crawling over, he asked: "... How did you get here?"

Did Ning Chen's expression was solemn. He didn't answer right away. He caught the hand Hearing Chu Muyu reached out, borrowed a little force from it, and his whole person leaped into the car box, rolling several times on the spot inside.

Apart from Hearing Chu Muyu, the other four people inside were obviously also shocked by Did Ning Chen's arrival.

Did Ning Chen found a relatively safe spot and sat down. After waiting for Hearing Chu Muyu to also sit down properly, he said with a slight pant: "I've come to ask for your help. I thought about it — relying on just myself alone, I can't clean them all out. Think as I might, I still need your help."

After Did Ning Chen finished saying this, someone quickly chimed in. Curly Hair spoke up first: "You basically saved our lives too. Helping you is the same as helping ourselves. Go on — what should we do?"

After Did Ning Chen was safe, he noticed his palms were already a little sweaty. Hearing Curly Hair say this, he steadied his somewhat rapid breathing and said calmly: "I'll give each of you a gun. All you need to do is shoot at the cars below... You've played shooting games before, right? Just do it like that."

Everyone was startled.

After a long pause, Curly Hair finally opened his mouth, asking with some difficulty: "Are you sure? Aren't you afraid the guns might misfire? Or that some other problem might come up?"

Hearing this, Did Ning Chen looked at him quite seriously: "I'm not afraid. This kind of low-level mistake shouldn't easily happen with you guys, right?"

Curly Hair just lowered his head and laughed a little, neither explaining nor saying anything more.

It was the girl beside him whose eyes sparkled with eager light: "What did you say? You're going to give each of us a gun? Really? I've been longing to own a real gun for a long time."

Only then did Did Ning Chen turn his head to look at her and say: "Yes, but giving you guns isn't for playing around. I need you to help me shoot and kill the drivers of the cars chasing us from behind. Don't let them catch up to us — otherwise, we won't be able to leave Cangbei."

Hearing Did Ning Chen say this, the girl grew even more excited: "Me — although I've never touched a real gun, I've played plenty of toy guns since I was little. Don't worry."

The corner of Did Ning Chen's mouth twitched. He really wanted to ask her.

Can toy guns and real guns be lumped together?

But given the current situation, it was better not to dampen her enthusiasm. So Did Ning Chen held it in again and again, and finally smiled: "Okay."

Did Ning Chen fished several guns out of his own pocket — all handgun types — and handed them to the five people one by one.

All five took the guns and held them, examining them over and over. Did Ning Chen didn't wait for them to figure anything out, and said: "Someone here should know how to use a gun, right? Teach each other. I need to go back to the front passenger seat — otherwise I can't shoot down the plane."

Hearing this, Hearing Chu Muyu and Curly Hair beside him exchanged a glance. Hearing Chu Muyu frowned: "You're going back again?"

Did Ning Chen nodded.

Hearing Chu Muyu felt the gun in his hand. Among them, only the Miss who was interested in guns knew how to use one. At this moment, apart from Curly Hair and Hearing Chu Muyu, the other two were gathered around the girl, learning how to use the gun.

Hearing Chu Muyu asked one last question: "When the carriage door is open, if the other side has thoughts of shooting us dead, what should we do?"

"Don't worry about that," Did Ning Chen said decisively. "They definitely won't do that. You still have other uses for Faxianche Sect. Trust me."
