After Cen Shen pulled someone to take the bullet for him, he immediately hid. The people on the other side also immediately drew their guns, and a firefight broke out in the banquet hall.
However, Cang Yu was clearly at a slight disadvantage. After all, even with the people he had bribed, there were only about ten guns in the hall, while Cen Shen had dozens of people.
After hearing the gunshots, it appeared that a firefight had also broken out outside.
“Gu Huai, I have treated you well, yet you want to kill me? Why? Are you trying to seize power?” Cen Shen shouted.
When the three of them first entered the base, because "Gu Huai" looked a bit like Cang Yu, he tested him several times and secretly observed him.
But later he dispelled his doubts. No matter how much a person changes, some small habits are hard to change. He knew Cang Yu so well that he couldn't possibly not recognize him.
Apart from his slender build, which somewhat resembles Cang Yu, Gu Huai is nothing like him in any other way. He is capable, which is why he had the idea of promoting him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, the other party tried to kill him. But why was the bomb placed there?
Shouldn't the murder weapon have been placed on top? Although placing it on top would definitely have led to its discovery.
He really couldn't understand it.
Cang Yu sneered.
“Chief Cen, so what if you seized power? You took your position as chief of the base by force. Fortune favors the bold, and I don’t want to be a subordinate forever.”
Cang Jue went to the first floor to rescue people. He needed to buy some time, at least not to let Cen Shen know that he was Cang Yu.
“You have guts, but we’ll see if you’re lucky enough to be one. You’re capable, so if you surrender, I can forgive and forget. You don’t like being a subordinate, so I’ll make you second-in-command, second only to me, above everyone else.” Cen Shen began to make empty promises.
Xu Wude, the second-in-command, had his pupils contract.
His position as the second-in-command was not one that could be easily filled by someone else; it wasn't the only one available.
Cen Shen once said he would always be the second-in-command of the base, and now he's making that promise again so casually...
"Cen Shen, this second-in-command position isn't something you can just relinquish. At most, you're a base commander with some power. Without subordinates, what can you accomplish? Deputy Base Commander Xu, it seems Cen Shen doesn't really care about you!"
Cang Yu turned the fire on Xu Wude.
Xu Wude was extremely loyal to Cen Shen. Despite having the ability to be the leader, he was willing to remain subordinate to Cen Shen.
Listening to the conversation between the two groups, Lin Yue quietly changed into another invisibility cloak and crept towards the position behind Cen Shen.
“Gu Huai, don’t try to sow discord here. Wu De will not be swayed by you. Even if I made Wu De a subordinate, he would be willing. We have a life-or-death bond.” Cen Shen said with great confidence.
Xu Wude almost lost his life for him back then, so there's absolutely no way he would betray him.
That's what they said, but Cen Shen quietly moved a little further away from Xu Wude, now with two people between them instead of being so close.
Cang Yu found it amusing. The two of them did indeed have a life-or-death bond, but it was Xu Wude who risked his life for Cen Shen. Cen Shen himself was just as skilled as him, but he was a very cowardly person and always dragged others to the front.
Cen Shen was careful, but Xu Wude wasn't stupid either, and of course he noticed his actions, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Cen Shen didn't believe him.
Lin Yue didn't care what they were saying. After finding the location, she sighed and said that Cen Shen was a cunning old fox.
Cen Shen was positioned in the middle of a group of people, with people blocking his way in front and behind him, so Lin Yue's idea of moving directly to the side was thwarted.
Standing outside the crowd, Lin Yue took out a pistol, aimed at Cen Shen's shoulder blade, and pulled the trigger.
Using a pistol meant her hand gestures had to be visible, and Lin Yue, who had been having a smooth ride, was a bit unlucky this time. As she pulled the trigger, she was spotted.
"There's someone behind you," the man shouted, then kicked Lin Yue's gun away.
Lin Yue was caught off guard by the kick, the bullet missed its mark, and the pistol fell to the ground. Before she could pick it up, she quickly moved to another position.
If it weren't for the pistol still on the ground, the person who just spoke would have thought they were hallucinating.
With that movement and that speed, the person disappeared in no time.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, Cen Shen hid even lower, not daring to even peek out.
Without a suitable weapon, Lin Yue was very frustrated.
There were plenty of guns in the space, but only one pistol. Submachine guns were only effective at close range, but with so many enemies, if she went up with a submachine gun, she would be riddled with bullets in no time.
The recoil of other guns is too great, and she hasn't fully mastered them yet, so she can't be sure she can hit them accurately, which is a bit of a problem.
Hand grenades are also out of the question, because if she were Cang Yu, she would definitely want to kill her enemies with her own hands, rather than be blown up by someone else.
"Who is it? Who is lurking in the shadows? If you're a hero, come out!" Lin Yue didn't care what he said and refused to show herself.
After fiddling around for a while, he finally pulled out the hidden dart.
After this delay, more than half of the invisibility cloak's duration had passed, leaving little time. Lin Yue aimed at Cen Shen again.
There are only so many people. Cen Shen was already taller than the others, and even when he squatted down with his head down, he was still more conspicuous than the others. If you couldn't see his head, you could still see his protruding shoulder.
With a precise aim, Lin Yue, without being kicked in the hand this time, shot out directly, hitting Cen Shen's shoulder without missing.
Cen Shen cried out in pain, and the others looked in the direction of the arrow.
He reached for the hidden dart on his shoulder, paused for a moment, then, undeterred by the pain, pulled it out.
He looked at it again and again, then shouted, "Cang Yu, you coward, come out here! What kind of hero hides like this?"
He was right. Gu Huai was not Cang Yu at all. Cang Yu was hiding behind him, shooting arrows at him from the shadows.
He would never mistake this arrow; it was a weapon unique to the organization, made with special materials that could not be made anywhere else, and the only person who could possess it besides him was Cang Yu.
Cang Yu knew that Lin Yue was shooting him in the back, but he didn't expect Cen Shen to think it was him.
Lin Yue, who was hiding her head like a turtle, pouted, moved to a different spot, and went straight into her space. She had used up the time of both invisibility cloaks, and she didn't want to be a target for the time being, so she let Cang Yu deal with it by himself for a while!
Cen Shen called out to the empty air behind him, but no one answered. His eyes darkened.
"Fine, Cang Yu, you forced me to do this. You guys, go and bring the people from the first floor up."
No matter what, Cang Yu is only one person, and he can't possibly deal with several people at the same time. He can always get one or two people to run out and bring up the hostages. These people are his lifesavers.
With them around, Cang Yu would definitely not stand idly by.
The people pointed out by Cen Can immediately crouched down and went out, but before they even reached the door, they were blindfolded by Cang Yu and Cang Jun.
"Go, you guys go again, hurry up." Cen Shen didn't care about the lives of the people around him at all. He pointed his gun at the other people and then gave the order, "The rest of you, shoot! Whoever takes down Gu Huai will be the second-in-command of the base."
Xu Wude looked at Cen Shen in disbelief.
He could barely understand what Cen Shen had said to Gu Huai earlier as an attempt to continue recruiting Gu Huai, offering him a tempting reward; but now, Cen Shen was actually using this position to reward someone, did he really think he was made of clay?
