Jing Min instantly became alert, gripping his pistol tightly with both hands, his gaze cold, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
"President Jing, it's me, it's me!"
A familiar voice broke the silence.
Jing Min paused for a moment.
She quickly released Chu Wuyang, a hint of displeasure at being disturbed flashing in her eyes.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the cave entrance.
Mingxiu walked in, looking somewhat disheveled.
But his expression was full of urgency and anxiety.
"So fast?"
Jing Min raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice,
Mingxiu went into the cave and, seeing that Jingmin was alright, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"President Jing, Li Yan received a signal and notified us, so I came first since I was nearby,"
"Li Yan is already on his way with his men."
He spoke hurriedly, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"But something's not right,"
"I saw quite a few foreigners and Asian faces when I went up the mountain. They were all well-prepared. Could they be professional assassins?"
"It seems that several groups have joined forces."
Chu Wuyang was greatly surprised
"What?"
Jing Min frowned slightly, then quickly turned to look at Chu Wuyang, his eyes reassuring.
"It's okay! Don't worry."
"We have to leave; we can't stay here any longer."
Jing Min said calmly, then got up and walked out with Chu Wuyang.
Mingxiu followed behind them and whispered:
"I've prepared the vehicles, and the helicopter is waiting. Judging by the time, Li Yan and the others should arrive soon."
As soon as they stepped out of the cave
A sudden gust of cold wind swept over us, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Jing Min held Chu Wuyang tightly, his steps quick yet cautious.
His eyes scanned his surroundings, sensing something was amiss.
Suddenly, several gunshots shattered the silence.
Bullets grazed the rocks around them, kicking up clouds of dust and gravel.
"Quick! Get over there!"
Jing Min called out in a low voice, and quickly led Chu Wuyang behind a large rock.
Bullets flew past at high speed, and they crawled forward, almost hugging the rocks.
Jingmin's heart raced.
But his eyes remained calm as he protected Chu Wuyang while looking around, trying to locate the enemy.
How could they know the location so precisely?
Jing Min asked himself in a low voice, realizing that this ambush was not simple.
Could it be that they've been located?
Mingxiu clearly noticed this as well, and he quickly glanced at Jingmin:
"President Jing, what's going on?"
Jingmin did not answer immediately.
Instead, he quickly took out his phone and disassembled it to check.
He carefully disassembled the phone, his fingertips moving swiftly.
But in the end, the phone remained intact and showed no abnormalities.
"no problem."
Jing Min raised his head, his gaze calmly sweeping over his surroundings.
His intuition told him that the enemy must have mastered some kind of technology that allowed them to pinpoint their location precisely.
"We were precisely tracked."
Jing Min said in a deep voice, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"We need to be careful."
At this moment, Mingxiu's gaze had already turned to Chu Wuyang. A hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes.
"President Jing,"
Mingxiu said in a low voice,
"Madam, she..."
He didn't say anything more, but his eyes conveyed her meaning.
A cold glint flashed in Jing Min's eyes, and he reminded him in a cold voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mingxiu froze, startled by the shout, and quickly lowered her head.
Yes, how could he doubt his wife?
"I'm sorry, madam!"
Chu Wuyang didn't pay attention.
"Jingmin, what exactly is going on?"
Since things had come to this, Jingmin could only tell her the truth, hoping to at least make her more aware.
He tightened his grip on Chu Wuyang's hand.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
At that moment, another bullet flew at high speed and struck the edge of the rock.
The flying pebbles made Jing Min quickly push Chu Wuyang behind him again, protecting him in his arms.
"We need to find a place to hide and buy some time."
Jingmin calmly gave instructions.
They moved in another direction, trying to avoid the enemy's sight.
Mingxiu followed closely behind, constantly alert to any movement around her.
Jing Min took each step cautiously; he knew perfectly well that...
If this continues, they will surely be trapped in a dead end.
Just as they were moving, another burst of gunfire erupted from the nearby bushes, bullets raining down on the ground around them, the roar making the air tremble.
Jing Min and Chu Wuyang quickly crouched down, their figures almost blending into the ground.
"Mr. Jing, shall we split up and let your wife leave first?"
Mingxiu said hurriedly, her eyes fixed on what was in front of her.
Jing Min held Chu Wuyang tightly and said in a low, calm voice:
"You go first, meet up with Li Yan and then provide support to us."
Mingxiu hesitated.
"Mr. Jing, is it your injury?"
Jingmin frowned slightly, his eyes filled with impatience.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Mingxiu hesitated visibly, but seeing the coldness in Jingmin's eyes, she could only obey.
Chu Wuyang took a deep breath and said with concern.
Are you really alright?
Jingmin held her hand tightly, his tone soothing.
"fine"
Then he looked at Chu Wuyang.
"You don't blame me for being a burden to you?"
Chu Wuyang froze, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.
Jingmin interrupted her with a somewhat stubborn tone.
"We'll never be apart, we'll never be apart, even in death we'll be together."
“Yangyang, their target is me. I could have had Mingxiu take you away directly, but I didn’t.”
"Because... even though I'm injured, I'm not 100% sure I can protect you,"
"But I still don't want to be separated from you, even if I anticipate danger to my life, I'm unwilling to let you go."
Chu Wuyang froze, a look of disbelief and shock flashing in her eyes.
She had never heard Jing Min say such things before; it was as if it were an obsession etched into her very bones.
She paused, then finally spoke, her voice low.
"Jingmin..."
Jing Min's gaze deepened as he stared at her, as if trying to find a trace of certainty in her eyes.
Are you scared?
Chu Wuyang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she shook her head almost unconsciously.
"With you here, there's nothing to fear!"
Jingmin's lips curled up slightly.
Some of that coldness and resolve dissipated, and he gripped her hand tightly.
Just then, a gunshot shattered the surrounding silence.
Jing Min tightly protected Chu Wuyang, and the bullet almost instantly sliced through the air.
Jing Min suddenly turned around, almost instinctively pulling Chu Wuyang into his arms, and whispered...
"Get down!"
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, followed by a rapid gushing of blood.
His vision went black, but he had no time to pay attention to the pain.
His first reaction was still to protect Chu Wuyang.
