Chapter 176

Late at night, a light rain fell.

Xia Mo was holding the new sniper rifle that Li Zewei had obtained, lying quietly on the second floor of the warehouse 1,000 meters away from the repair shop.

There are many such vacant warehouses in Jiluo District. The former owners either made money and ran away, or were arrested after failing to escape... In short, these warehouses were abandoned due to various reasons.

According to Qi Congyi's intelligence, two people from Team 1 will pass through the alley on the east side. Xia Mo held his breath and watched motionlessly through the scope.

Today's shooting was completely different from that day.

Her targets that day were two ordinary people who had no power to fight back.

There is Shen Fang, an ordinary citizen who doesn't even have the courage to buy a gun. He wants to kill people, but he only dares to use marbles and guns; there is also Wei Xiaoyu, who is a military academy student, but he studied logistics and has a very low perception of danger.

But today is different.

The people who came were assassins from the Secret Service Department carefully selected by Han Rantai. Each of them had five senses as sharp as radar and was ruthless in their attacks. If she made the slightest mistake, she would expose herself to danger.

Taking a deep breath of the cold night air, Xia Mo forced himself to suppress his pounding heart. Don't be nervous. Being nervous won't solve any problems, but will only make things worse.

After three cycles of this, my heartbeat finally slowed down.

A figure appeared in the camera.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker, with most of his face covered by the black brim of his hat. He stood opposite the street light, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs seemingly casually, as if waiting for someone.

But suddenly, the cigarette fell from his fingers, and his hand suddenly reached for his windbreaker, holding a pistol equipped with a silencer. He pointed the muzzle at the lighted window glass of the repair shop in front, and was about to pull the trigger.

whoosh——!

A bullet faster than his shot out of the muzzle first.

The bullet penetrated the temple and exited from the other side, splashing bright red blood as the body fell silently.

When he found out that his teammate was attacked, the second person who assisted him quickly pulled out a gun from the shadows!

Xia Mo held his breath and turned the gun, not giving him any chance to fight back, bang!

The second bullet hit him in the face and killed him.

After succeeding, Xia Mo quickly moved to another location.

She fired twice at the same place. If she hadn't memorized the enemy's position and was not fast enough, the second shot would have been very dangerous.

But fortunately, she won for the time being.

Carrying a sniper rifle, she ran to the third floor of the warehouse and went around to the west window.

As soon as the gun was ready, the other three members of Team 1 who came to rescue showed up.

Xia Mo used all his strength as a gunman and fired three bullets in a row. The bullets went in three different directions and hit three people respectively.

"I've got it done, how about you?" she asked in a low voice.

There were some sounds of fighting in the headset, but soon, the sound disappeared and Sui Bai's voice rang out: "Team 2 is done too."

Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, hurry up and carry him."

The body couldn't be left on the street, they had to destroy any evidence that was unfavorable to them.

Xia Mo rushed downstairs to the warehouse and started to move the man in black. Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind her!

She turned around, raised her hands, and pushed out hard with her knee!

The man hurriedly stepped back: “Xia Mo is me, Shen Wuyou.”

Xia Mo was stunned.

Shen Wuyou carried another corpse and said, "I know what you want to ask. Don't ask first. Get the body away first. Tell me, where should we move it to?"

Ten bodies were quickly carried into the warehouse, and gasoline was poured on the bodies. The match lightly rubbed the edge of the box. Xia Mo let go, and the match touched the gasoline, and a fire broke out with a bang.

The rain was still falling outside, and there were even signs of it turning into heavy rain. It was just right that the rain helped them wash away the bloodstains on the ground, so they could even save this step.

A few minutes later, when the fire was about to spread to the supermarket on the next street, someone on the next street finally discovered the fire and shouted to the police.

The police arrived first, followed by five or six fire trucks.

Xia Mo watched all this with satisfaction, and returned to Li Zewei's repair shop with Sui Bai and Shen Wuyou.

Seeing Shen Wuyou, Li Zewei was stunned at first, then scolded: "Why are you meddling in this? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

Shen Wuyou showed an indifferent expression: "I know, but this matter is also related to me, I can't just sit back and watch."

Back then, her parents violated military orders to save Li Zewei and Xia Mo. Now, as their daughter, how could she stay out of it?

Besides, the target of those people in the military today is Xia Mo, and tomorrow it might be her turn. She and they have a relationship of mutual dependence, and if the person in front of her is killed, she will not live for a few days.

Li Zewei had no words to refute, so he said angrily: "You are all troublesome!"

The fire was not completely extinguished until the next morning. When the police went in to check something out, the ten people who had been there last night had already been burned to ashes.

The investigation reached a deadlock, and Han Rantai became furious when he heard about it!

"Ten people can't take down a mere freshman?! Trash, what are these people doing?"

He roared and vented his anger, smashing several instruments in the conference room. He thought Jin Hui and Bart would say some words of persuasion, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't get any persuasion from them.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, he stared at the two people who seemed to be smiling: "What are you two looking at?"

Major General Bart raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction, snapped his fingers, and an armed team broke in and pinned Han Rantai against the wall.

"What are you doing?! Are you rebelling?! Jin Hui! Tell someone to lock them up!"

Secretary Jin Hui just looked at Han Rantai, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

Han Rantai realized something, and anger and fear rose in his eyes at the same time: "You actually betrayed me!"

Jin Hui walked up to Bart, saluted him, turned around and smiled, "You've been sitting in this seat for too long, Old Han. It's time to give someone else a chance."

Han Rantai was forced to step down, and this shocking news quickly spread throughout the military.

Qi Congyi relayed the news to Li Zewei, and then asked with a grin, "How was it? Did you enjoy the dog-eat-dog drama?"

Li Zewei stared at the people in the picture: "You already knew they were fighting for power."

Qi Congyi: "Of course, I've said it before, my ten-plus years in the military weren't for nothing."

Li Zewei: "Okay, you've been a human being for once."

Qi Congyi:?

"Old Li, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean by being a human being? We've known each other for over 20 years, and this is how you see me?"

Li Zewei ignored his emotional appeal and snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. You want to be the fisherman, right?"

Xia Mo stood outside the screen and agreed deeply with Li Zewei's words.

How could there be so many people in this world who understand the greater good? Apart from "criminals" like her and Shen Wuyou, whose lives were hanging by a thread and who had to take action to protect themselves in order to survive, how could someone in a high position like Qi Congyi turn over a card for them for the so-called unjust case 18 years ago?

It's just an excuse to make a profit.

But this excuse just happened to please Xia Mo. Although both parties got what they wanted, they had the same goal and cooperation could be a win-win situation.

Li Zewei is not stupid either. He must know what Qi Congyi is planning, so he agreed to the counterattack plan.

Qi Congyi was not angry when he exposed his mistake: "Let me ask you, would you rather let someone like Han Rantai or Bart manage the military, or me?"

Li Zewei rolled his eyes: "It's none of my business!"

After saying that, he closed the video call with a click.

Xia Mo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he could also see Li Zewei's attitude - he supported Qi Congyi.

After all, given the chaotic situation on the capital planet, only Qi Congyi could shoulder this important task.

*

The warehouse burning case was hastily closed due to insufficient evidence. In the second week after the incident, the capital star military headquarters once again broke the big news of a change of ownership.

Bart, who had just taken office for a few days, was suddenly exposed to the scandal of killing civilians a few years ago. His secretary Jin Hui was also dismissed for suspected economic corruption and was thoroughly investigated. In just a few days, the situation in the capital star changed again and again.

It was not until Qi Congyi suddenly took office in response to the call of the masses and became the new general of the military that the turbulent military and political situation in the capital planet stabilized.

Li Zewei was browsing StarNet. He noticed that Qi Congyi's fox-like smile appeared in almost every piece of news, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"This guy finally got what he wanted."

Xia Mo pushed his wheelchair and walked slowly in the park.

For her, it doesn't matter who takes office. What matters is that the culprit Han Rantai and his accomplice Bat will finally be executed today, and the former military secretary Jin Hui will also be imprisoned for corruption with a sentence of 25 years.

As for her parents who died in vain, as well as Li Zewei, Shen Zhengqing, and Zhou Jiang who risked their lives, they will finally be posthumously honored or have their names restored today.

"What are you going to wear for this afternoon's interview? Military uniform?"

Xia Mo faced the sunshine and asked Li Zewei.

Li Zewei snorted and laughed, like a proud child who was finally recognized by the world: "Of course!"

After a few seconds of pause, perhaps fearing his answer might be ambiguous, he added, "Oh, I mean the military uniform I wore when I graduated. I wouldn't wear the uniform issued now."

Back then, he joined the military with high spirits, but he didn't expect that he and his good friend would step into an abyss.

He waited patiently for 18 years, and finally on this day, he got the justice he owed them.

In the live broadcast, Xia Mo looked at Li Zewei's straight back in the wheelchair with a smile. She thought, if that incident had not happened that year, he would definitely be a handsome uncle in the military now!

When the medal was hung around his neck, the host couldn't help but burst into tears. She handed the microphone to Li Zewei, squatted down and asked, "Captain Li Zewei, do you have anything to say to everyone now?"

The scene became quiet, and Xia Mo subconsciously tensed his nerves.

Li Zewei didn't look at the medals. He just touched the several nameplates in his hand and said softly, "The dawn has come, my dear friend. Rest in peace, brave warrior. The darkness has finally faded, and your souls will be remembered by the world."

Off-camera, Xia Mo smiled.

Mom and Dad, did you see this? Li Zewei showed everyone your nameplates.
