“Peach Master, I have one more thing to say. You look very unwell. How about I send the Shadow Alliance over? I think we should leave this matter to the Shadow Alliance and just wait to receive our reward. Is that alright?”

"Do you think it's possible? Look at those densely packed people. They're determined to get this shipment. How can it be resolved so easily? Just take me there now. I have something to say to them."

After saying that, Wen Lu got out of the car with agility. Ma Bochen walked in front of Wen Lu and led her towards another warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, Wen Lu saw a well-trained squad from the Shadow Alliance. Looking at their figures, Wen Lu felt a sense of familiarity.

Just then, a woman walked out from behind the squad, carrying a sniper rifle on her shoulder, looking both wild and cool.

The woman stood in front of Wen Lu, looking her up and down. When she saw this delicate girl, her deep brown eyes were full of surprise. She asked half-jokingly, "Little girl, are you an adult? What are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous this place is?"

Seeing that Gu Yao was still behaving in the same way as before, Wen Lu smiled happily. This familiar feeling was so comfortable, but Wen Lu had no intention of acknowledging her at this moment. It was not the right time yet.

"We've just come of age, and we don't have much time together. Let's talk after this is all settled. I came here to see what you brought. Did you bring the AMR I wanted?"

"No, I haven't received the order for more than a few hours. I'm not Doraemon, I can't have whatever you want. But I brought you another sniper rifle. Come and take a look and see if you know how to use it."

When Gu Yao heard the name AMR, her chest involuntarily clenched. It was Mei's treasure, of course locked at the Alliance headquarters. She was just passing by after finishing her mission. It was already a coincidence that she got a sniper rifle, how could she possibly have the one she was looking for?

Gu Yao looked up and met Wen Lu's gaze. Looking into Wen Lu's confident eyes, she felt as if she saw another person in Wen Lu.

She originally wanted to mock Wen Lu, but when she thought of that person, a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart, and she didn't want to say anything more.

Gu Yao led Wen Lu to a corner of the warehouse, where she took out a box.

Looking at that familiar box, Wen Lu felt a pang in her heart; she hadn't expected that the woman had brought her good friend with her.

Gu Yao took out a sniper rifle from the box and handed it to Wen Lu. She looked at the pale-faced, thin girl with disdain and gave a cold smile.

"You can't handle this sniper rifle. With your small build, one shot is enough to smash your shoulder. Just tell me who the target is, and I'll take care of it for you."

It wasn't that Gu Yao looked down on Wen Lu, but she was telling the truth. The recoil from that sniper rifle was enough to shatter Wen Lu's thin shoulders. She looked too frail. No matter how determined her gaze was, it couldn't change her physical condition.

Wen Lu looked at the gun in Gu Yao's hand and did not refute it. She was indeed unable to handle the gun with her current physique, but it was not that she was incapable. She leaned lazily against the box behind her and put one hand on Gu Yao's shoulder.

"Sister, I want your sniper rifle. I wonder if you could lend it to me? I promise it will be exactly the same condition when I return it to you, okay?"

As she spoke, Wen Lu, who appeared calm and serene, suddenly gave Gu Yao a suave and roguish smile, a smile that left Gu Yao stunned on the spot.

She stared at Wen Lu, her body stiff, and for some reason, she saw the shadow of Phantom in Wen Lu.

"Who are you? You're back, aren't you?"

Gu Yao couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind, but she quickly shook her head.

Although Phantom likes to play with metaphysics, this kind of thing is too fantastical and impossible; she's just overthinking it.

Because Wen Lu felt so familiar to her, Gu Yao didn't refuse Wen Lu's request. She handed the sniper rifle on her back to Wen Lu and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Protect it for me. If it gets damaged, you'll pay with your life."

Hearing Gu Yao's warning, Wen Lu took the sniper rifle that Gu Yao handed over and casually raised an eyebrow.

"Sister, your sniper rifle is made of the highest quality materials, it's not a toy gun. I don't have the ability to break it."

As she spoke, Wen Lu sat down on the box next to her and began to adjust the gun. Her habits were exactly the opposite of Gu Yao's.

Gu Yao stood aside, watching Wen Lu adjust the gun, and felt a strange sense of familiarity. Damn it, she didn't know why she felt so familiar with this girl.

She raised her hand and slapped her forehead hard. She felt that she must be having a relapse. She decided that she would see a doctor after this mission was over.

Wen Lu turned around when she heard the sound. She glanced at Gu Yao and smiled secretly. She guessed that Gu Yao must have noticed something was wrong.

She wondered if Gu Yao would want to kill her when she revealed her identity; now it seemed that her death was driving her almost insane.

Wen Lu snapped out of her thoughts, adjusted the sniper rifle, slung it over her shoulder, and then took the communication device from Gu Yao and put it on.

"You guys wait for me here. I'll go out and find a suitable sniping spot first. You can move when I tell you to. Don't alert them and cause unnecessary trouble."

As Wen Lu spoke, he slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder and walked out. Gu Yao watched Wen Lu's retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she also became serious.

Whoever she is, she must ensure the little girl's safety.

Just as Wen Lu passed by the display screen, a familiar figure appeared on it. Upon seeing that figure, Wen Lu's bright black eyes narrowed slightly.

Wang Jinyu walked at the back of the group. In front of him were three unfamiliar people. Beside him were Wang Xiuli and a red-haired man. Wen Lu felt that the red-haired man looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't recognize him.

Just then, a gunshot rang out, and a man in black flashed in front of Wang Jinyu. The bullet that was originally aimed at Wang Jinyu went directly into the man in black's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, there was a sniper here. Wen Lu's expression changed. She turned her head and looked at Gu Yao with a wary expression. Gu Yao immediately understood what she meant. She turned around and habitually replied, "I'll go find the sniper's location right away."
