"Boss, what should we do now? If Xiao and his gang find out, they'll definitely cause us trouble. If they find out you're colluding with John, we're in big trouble."
Lina tied up her golden hair, looked at Wu Hao with worry in her eyes, and said tremblingly.
"How would I know? In this situation, do I have any other choice? There are no other possibilities. I can only bring Mu Shanhai over and hand him over to John." Wu Hao stroked his chin. He couldn't say for sure about the current situation. He was still slightly worried that Luo Chen would discover his problem. If something unexpected happened, he would really lose his head.
"This is quite troublesome. They managed to escape. It will take some effort."
Wu Hao touched his head, his face looking rather grim. He had almost captured Mu Shanhai and his group, and now things had turned out to be far too troublesome.
For him, he had offended both sides, but fortunately he was connected with John and his group. As long as Mu Shanhai was captured, everything could still be negotiated. Even if Luo Chen and his group appeared, Wu Hao would have leverage over him and wouldn't be completely crushed.
"Lina, do you think my decision is good? I didn't expect Xiao to escape from John and the others. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have done this, and I would have continued to help them fight."
"Looking at the current situation, I really regret it. Xiao will definitely seek revenge on me. He will never let me off the hook for what I did to them."
Wu Hao had his eyes closed, and his entire body appeared thin and frail on the road.
Despite saying this, there was not a trace of remorse on his face. The reason he said this was because he was worried that Luo Chen would kill him. That was his real concern.
Rather than so-called regret.
Lina reached out and took Wu Hao's hand, staring into his eyes as she said, "Sigh, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, but I can't think about it too much now. I can only take it one step at a time. But this time, I think John and the others should be able to kill Xiao."
"As long as we kill Xiao, everything will be fine, right? Boss, don't worry. We've been through things like this before. Why would we be afraid of a small mercenary group? Don't worry, we'll be alright."
As she spoke, Lina cupped Wu Hao's hand and rubbed it against her face, seemingly to give him a sense of security.
"Okay, don't worry." Wu Hao smiled faintly, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He might as well go all the way since he had already chosen this path. Why worry about anything else?
If he had been worrying about this and that all day long, how could Wu Hao have gotten to where he is today?
"Don't worry, I'll get better. Okay, you guys hurry up and chase after them. I'll talk to John again."
Wu Hao waved, then picked up the walkie-talkie and called out, "Hello, John? It's me, Wu Hao."
"Wu Hao? What are you planning to do now?"
"What? Can't I come to you?" Wu Hao smiled coldly. Before John could speak, he continued, "I am very sorry about what happened earlier. It was indeed my fault. I did something wrong in this regard. I blame myself for being a little emotional."
"Hehe, what's the point of saying all this now?"
John, still in the car, was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Wu Hao to come and admit his mistake at this time; it was truly a strange thing.
"Stop talking nonsense, just say what you want to say. There's no need to talk about unimportant things here."
"Of course, the best course of action for us right now is to cooperate. Only in this way can we defeat our opponents and you complete your mission and capture Mu Shanhai, right?"
Wu Hao looked at the walkie-talkie. Actually, he wanted to get some information about Mu Shanhai from John. If he could find out about Mu Shanhai, he could capture him and achieve the best of both worlds. He could even do business with John and Luo Chen. Why not?
"Great, I'm glad you're so understanding, but you also know the current situation. As long as you can help us capture Mu Shanhai, everything is negotiable, isn't it?"
"Well, there's one question, which is that I'm really curious to know, is Mu Shanhai important to you? Or is there anything special about his identity?" Wu Hao began to probe John's intentions, hoping to ascertain Mu Shanhai's importance as soon as possible, but at the same time, he didn't want John to discover his thoughts.
"Don't misunderstand, John, I have no other intentions, I'm just curious. After all, it's quite unexpected that one person could attract such a large mercenary group, don't you think?"
"This guy, he's got some pretty good ideas." John stared coldly at the walkie-talkie, a surge of anger rising within him, and said indifferently.
"What's wrong, John? What does Wu Hao mean?" Roy, sitting next to him, asked curiously.
"He wants to know Mu Shanhai's identity. Don't you think that's pretty stupid? I really don't know what this guy is thinking."
John saw through Wu Hao quite well. How could someone like him have stayed in such a place for so many years without getting into trouble? Logically, he should be very smart. But what did he mean by saying this now?
John knew exactly what Wu Hao was thinking. Hadn't he seen plenty of people like him who could become the deputy commander?
"Really? This guy really knows how to scheme." Roy sneered.
"Are you going to tell him? This guy isn't a good person. Besides, I really don't understand why he would think that way. Is he really just an idiot? Or has he been in the mountains for too long and lost his mind?"
John didn't speak, but was thinking about whether he should tell Mu Shanhai the truth. If so, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Wu Hao, you just need to know that he is very important. It's okay to tell you, but only if you know that it's unnecessary for you and won't do you any good."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao had a pretty good idea of what was going on and gained a deeper understanding of Mu Shanhai's identity.
"I never expected that he would have such a powerful identity. But why would he need a small mercenary group to protect him? It seems I've really hit the jackpot, to encounter such a benefit at this time."
Wu Hao thought to himself, looking at the mountains where Mu Shanhai and the others had gone, a sense of joy gradually rose in his heart. If he could capture Mu Shanhai and the others, wouldn't everything be fine?
For some, it's a hot potato, but for Wu Hao, it's his 24k pure gold, something that will make him a lot of money in the future.
"Damn it, this is infuriating. If I had known earlier, I would have acted much earlier. Why did I wait until now?" Wu Hao stomped hard on the ground, his face contorted in pain. He thought about how he hadn't taken action when he had better opportunities before, and now that he was only acting now, he felt like he had made a huge mistake.
It's not too late now, but the opportunity is definitely not as good as before.
"Wu Hao, Wu Hao, how can you be so stupid? This is a rare opportunity. If you can seize it, it will definitely make you rise to the top and you'll have more money than you can ever make in your lifetime."
Wu Hao stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Mu Shanhai and their car at the foot of the mountain.
Just before, after Wu Hao and his men caught up with Qi Yunlong and his group, they had not yet realized that Wu Hao had actually betrayed them.
If we had acted immediately, we could have caught them off guard. If we had captured them, it would have been a huge benefit for them.
Unfortunately, after Wu Hao and his men caught up and stopped Qi Yunlong and the others to rest, Mike's men arrived. This completely exposed Wu Hao's identity, and a war broke out between the two sides.
Mike's two men immediately covered Qi Yunlong and the others as they left, and Wu Hao did not immediately give chase.
"Two opportunities! These are two fantastic chances! How could I be so foolish?"
Wu Hao now looked full of regret, having let go of such a good opportunity.
But since it has already happened, there's no need to continue talking about it.
"John, how long will it take you to get here?"
"Are you stupid? How would I know where you are? I'm at a bend in the road, there are some billboards here." John hurled insults at Wu Hao mercilessly; this guy was clearly insane.
“You’ll be here soon, in just over ten minutes. But they should arrive even faster. So, I’ll plant a bomb down here, and then leave a few men to see if we can intercept them.” Wu Hao recalled the road signs, estimated the approximate locations of both sides, and then made the necessary arrangements for John.
“No problem, if you think this is acceptable, I can help you if you can guarantee that you can capture Mu Shanhai, as long as the mission can be completed.”
John didn't care about anything else, as long as he could complete the mission, since that was his purpose in coming here.
As for the rest, there's no need to worry about it so much. Since Wu Hao is willing to do this, let's just grant his wish.
"Okay." With John's complete support, Wu Hao was overjoyed. He thought that once he made the arrangements, John would definitely fight against Luo Chen and the others. As long as the two sides fought, he would be the one who benefited.
Once Mu Shanhai is captured, he will be able to control everything and use him to threaten the two of them, thus achieving a win-win situation for both sides.
"Hahaha, if I succeed this time, I'll have everything, not just a small rest stop, but even a town like Jiang Tao's."
Wu Hao stared into the distance, dreaming of everything he could have.
