When rivals meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. When Xiao Jingchen saw Li Churan directing his men to attack him, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he continued to wield his laser sword provocatively.
At this moment, Canglan finally unleashed his supernatural power. The outdoor temperature had already reached minus 40 degrees Celsius, but with the enhancement of his power, the temperature around Xiao Jingchen continued to drop, forming sharp ice spikes that kept approaching him.
Xiao Jingchen quickly dodged.
Seeing that it was effective, Li Churan urged Canglan, "Hurry up and activate your superpower to shrink the encirclement. Then he will be trapped like a turtle in a jar."
Canglan nodded and continued to manipulate his superpower. Although it was freezing cold, steam was already rising from his head.
Xiao Jingchen was pressed closer and closer by the ice spikes, and he was surrounded, with the encirclement getting smaller and smaller.
Just when Li Churan thought he was about to succeed.
Suddenly, an armored vehicle flipped over the ice pile and stopped brazenly in front of Xiao Jingchen.
Xiao Jingchen nimbly climbed onto the roof of the car, then opened the roof door and easily climbed inside.
And so they drove away.
Li Churan was so angry she almost vomited blood. She was so close to succeeding, but then a shrewd man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Zhou Haiyuan's face turned almost green as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.
We haven't even reached the outside of the wall yet, and we've already lost so many people.
"Why didn't you make them spread out? That way they wouldn't be so easily hit by the sword's edge. Now look what's happened, so many people have been lost before the game even started." Zhou Haiyuan's mouth was full of complaints.
"I didn't know it would turn out like this!" Li Churan's attitude was very indifferent. Faced with Zhou Haiyuan's accusations, he was neither annoyed nor angry. He remained calm, as if he were an outsider.
"Alright, what's done is done! Since that's the case, let's keep moving forward! This was an accident, and if we give up now, all our previous efforts will be in vain!" Li Churan's words changed Xin Nian Haiyuan's original idea of leaving alone.
Although the two were only temporary partners, driven by mutual benefit, they temporarily set aside their prejudices against each other.
Over the next few hours, the group began to move forward normally, and finally, after an hour of careful progress, they successfully reached the entrance of the shelter.
"Everyone, we've finally arrived! Now it's time for the attack. Although we don't have the advantage of terrain, according to incomplete statistics, they have at least two-thirds fewer men than us, so don't lose heart. Although there were some minor hiccups on the way here, they're nothing..." Seeing that they had reached the designated location, Li Churan quickly gave them a pep talk.
"Listen up, everyone inside! If we give up resistance now and surrender obediently, we won't make things difficult for you. Just hand over Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning, and I guarantee I won't hurt you!" Li Churan shouted through a megaphone.
But ten minutes later, the shelter still didn't react at all.
"Attack!" As Li Churan gave the order, bullets burst into the night sky like fireworks in the dead of night.
But before the show could even last a second, a scream suddenly came from Li Churan's side.
With a series of muffled explosions, Li Churan's side suffered heavy casualties.
It turned out that Xiao Jingchen had already set up a trap underground.
Given Li Churan's cautious nature, he would normally have checked it, but Xiao Jingchen's appearance just now disrupted his concentration.
A man's desire to win makes him impatient for quick success, causing him to forget to check for potential dangers.
In warfare, winning hearts and minds is of paramount importance.
It turns out that even the seemingly arrogant Xiao Jingchen can use tricks; Li Churan lost because she underestimated her opponent.
Just as Li Churan was in a flurry of activity, Xiao Jingchen finally launched a counterattack.
Having suffered repeated setbacks, Li Churan's side has completely lost its fighting spirit. In just 10 minutes, they would have been utterly defeated.
"Don't run! Nobody is allowed to run! If anyone dares to escape, I'll kill them!" Zhou Haiyuan waved his pistol wildly, unable to accept that his first battle had ended so miserably.
Zhou Haiyuan kept firing at those who were retreating, but the scene was in chaos, and no one listened to him. His gunshots were quickly drowned out by the screams of the people around him.
Even someone as proud as Li Churan had to admit that he had lost, lost utterly and completely.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Let's retreat first, we've lost!"
"No!" Zhou Haiyuan roared in frustration. He had sacrificed so much and endured so long just to trample all those who looked down on him under his feet.
“We have lost!” Li Churan said dejectedly. He looked at the behemoth in front of him and seemed to see 17-year-old Ye Ning waving at him. He finally realized that the girl had finally slipped through his fingers like sand.
“Mr. Zhou, let’s retreat first! Staying here will only lead to our own destruction!” Li Churan lowered her head and noticed that Zhou Haiyuan had been shot at some point, and his clothes were stained with blood.
"Help! Mr. Zhou has been shot!" Li Churan shouted.
Zhou Haiyuan's confidants hurriedly lifted him onto a stretcher.
That shot hit his heart meridian. If his physique had been strengthened, he would probably be dead on the spot.
Blood kept gushing from Zhou Haiyuan's chest, and at the same time, he lost his warmth and vitality.
In his hazy state, he seemed to see Qi Ke'er with a large belly.
"Are you here to take me away? That's good, that's good!"
His lifelong obsession was not receiving attention and recognition from his father, and he paid a heavy price for it.
But in the moment before his death, he suddenly had a breakthrough, realizing that perhaps he didn't need to be so persistent at all.
In his short life, there may have been no one who truly loved him.
He was just too fixated on grasping things he couldn't hold onto.
"Mr. Zhou has passed away!"
As Zhou Haiyuan's entourage displayed their panicked expressions, Zhou Haiyuan finally lost all vitality.
The new generation leader of Xinyuan Group has actually stepped down in such a ridiculous way.
After that, Xinyuan Group, having lost its heir, fell into a year-long internal strife and continued to decline until it was completely wiped out by other conglomerates.
Li Churan returned to the base dejectedly, only to be met by the pregnant Wang Siyuan.
Yes! That's right! The child in her belly is someone else's.
Perhaps the blow today was too great, for Li Churan broke down for the first time when she looked at Wang Siyuan, who looked flustered.
