Jim still held onto a sliver of hope, feeling that he himself still had a chance of survival before all his teammates fell.
However, the figure that appeared in front of him filled him with despair.
Ye Xingchen appeared, and he walked slowly towards him: "Put down your gun, how about we talk?"
Jim stared at Ye Xingchen, then suddenly roared, raised his Desert Eagle, and fired three shots at Ye Xingchen.
In the darkness, Ye Xingchen's ghostly figure flickered several times before flashing to Jim's side.
He raised his hand, and several bullets fell from his palm.
Ye Xingchen clapped his hands: "You need to use a sniper rifle to make me feel threatened. A pistol is really not enough."
"You, you are the devil, you are the devil." Jim muttered to himself, backing away as he tried to distance himself from Ye Xingchen.
With a thud, his back slammed against a large tree, forcing him to stop.
"Is your master Huang Tai?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Will you let me go after I answer?" Jim steadied himself; he was terrified.
Although his hands were stained with the blood of countless people, when he was massacring a village in a war-torn area, a woman knelt down and begged for mercy, but he ruthlessly chopped off her head.
In his words, he couldn't feel the enemy's fear, but today, he truly felt his own fear.
"No, at most I'll let you die a quick death." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"Then why should I answer you? Ah..."
Before Jim could finish his harsh words, he let out a hysterical scream.
Because Ye Xingchen reached into Jim's waist and took out a Mitsubishi military knife, which he then mercilessly stabbed into Jim's thigh.
"Of course you don't have to answer, but only if you can endure the torture before you die." Ye Xingchen twisted the military dagger and pulled it out.
"Ah..." A pig-like scream came from Jim's mouth.
This bayonet was one of his collected weapons; it was triangular with grooves on it for easy bleeding.
Moreover, once it's inserted into a person's body, a slight twist and pull can bring along a large piece of flesh and blood.
He had used this bayonet against his enemies before, but when it actually pierced his own body, he realized how painful it was.
"I'm saying, Huang Tai is my boss, but he has another identity. He, he is Jin Xiang, Huang Tai is just his alias," Jim roared.
"Are you aware of this?" Ye Xingchen turned to look into the shadows, where Wang Jin walked out.
“I’ve suspected it, and I’ve also confirmed it, but Huang Tai has never said it himself because he doesn’t trust me,” Wang Jin shook his head.
"Then how come this guy is more trusted than you?" Ye Xingchen pointed at Jim.
“It’s different, because I’m Chinese, and he isn’t.” Wang Jin sighed, “Jin Xiang, it really is him.”
"How cunning!" Ye Xingchen shook his head, then asked, "Where is Huang Tai now?"
“They’re at the Meng family’s place. They’re planning to overthrow the Meng family. If I don’t reply to him in ten minutes, he’ll leave immediately.” In his pain, Jim spilled everything he knew.
"Just tell him the mission is complete." Ye Xingchen took out Jim's phone.
Just then, Huang Tai called.
"Come on." Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow.
“Huang, it’s me…” Jim asked, trying to sound calm, using his broken Xia language.
"How's the mission going?" Huang Tai's voice came from the other side.
"The mission is complete, and I was just about to report to you, Huang. Hehe, when I get back, we'll have a celebratory drink together," Jim replied.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, even thinking that things had been exposed.
After a moment of silence, the other party uttered a single word: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingchen reached out and slit Jim's throat.
Just then, Wang Jin's phone rang, and his expression changed: "We've been exposed. Huang Tai sent me the signal to evacuate."
"Was there something wrong with what that foreigner said just now?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, I have to get back. Give me a slap first," Wang Jin said.
"Where are you going to retreat to?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I don't know. He won't tell until the very last moment. Let's take it slow. At least I have to stay by his side and continue to lie in wait." Wang Jin pondered for a moment.
"Then you'll have to bear with it." Ye Xingchen nodded, then slapped Wang Jin with his palm.
Wang Jin groaned and collapsed to the ground.
Then he struggled to his feet, waved to Ye Xingchen to indicate that he was alright, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Young Master Huang, are you leaving?" Seeing Huang Tai leave without warning, Meng Guo's mind went blank; he had no idea what was going on.
"I have some urgent matters to attend to, I'll be back tomorrow." Huang Tai patted Meng Guo on the shoulder casually.
"Your subordinate said it was successful? That kid Ye Xingchen was killed?" Meng Guo asked tentatively.
"Yes, you heard it too, he stopped talking and asked me to prepare some celebratory drinks for him." Huang Tai laughed heartily: "Don't worry, it's fine."
"Good, good, that kid deserves to die." Meng Guo's face lit up with joy: "Young Master Huang, do you need me to give you a ride?"
"No need, just do what I asked you to do." Huang Tai chuckled and left with the group.
Once in the car, his face immediately darkened. He picked up his phone, gave a few instructions, then closed his eyes and sat in the back seat: "Jim never drinks, huh? Victory celebration wine?"
"Young Master Huang, where are we going now?" the driver asked.
“Go straight to Suspended City. Only there are we truly safe.” Huang Tai opened his eyes.
Yes, Suspended City is already on the border, and that place is only a river away from Jinluo City.
Moreover, there is a small market outside the border where people from several countries often cross the border to trade, making it a no-man's-land.
Once he gets there, he can rest easy, because if he sees that things aren't going well, he can just run away.
Meng Guo was a playboy, and with Huang Tai gone, he became even more unrestrained in his debauchery.
Just then, Meng Changyou walked in. Seeing the chaotic scene inside, he frowned and asked, "Where is Young Master Huang?"
“Dad, Young Master Huang had some urgent matters to attend to, so he left a little earlier than expected. But don’t worry, he has already agreed to cooperate with us.” Meng Guo said smugly, “But now our only obstacle is the old man.”
