One side.
"Boss, there seem to be footprints here."
The mercenary looked at the footprints under his feet and quickly spoke to Wu Hao.
If they're moving at their current speed and haven't gone astray, they should be able to find Mu Shanhai and his group's location very quickly. That's why these people were able to get here so fast.
After all, Mu Shanhai was carrying Jiang Xian'er on his back at this time, so there was no need to speed up, which directly led to Wu Hao and the others being able to arrive as quickly as possible.
However, Wu Hao is still unaware that Xiao Wu and the others are following him, and what will happen if they encounter them.
"It seems we're on the right track. Very good. Once this is successful, I'll definitely give you some rewards."
Seeing the footprints, Wu Hao was overjoyed; as long as he could find them, he could make money from them.
By then, who will care about a rest stop? Even if we establish a rest stop, we won't have to worry about not having money.
What made Wu Hao happiest was learning Mu Shanhai's true identity from John.
This excited him immensely. Nothing could be more profitable and direct. Thinking about this, Wu Hao realized that he had done a terrible job before. If he had discovered this path to wealth earlier, he wouldn't be stuck in such a shabby place.
With success within reach, Wu Hao didn't hesitate and continued forward.
"Who doesn't know how Lina and the others are doing?"
One of the mercenaries suddenly spoke up. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Wu Hao and was relieved to see that the latter didn't seem to be feeling anything.
But Wu Hao's next words were unexpected: "Heh, are you still thinking about her at a time like this? If you liked her, I would have just let you stay there with her."
"No, no, boss, of course not, why would I think that?"
The mercenary quickly waved his hand and began to explain.
Wu Hao glanced at it and didn't say anything more. At this moment, nothing could stop him from capturing Mu Shanhai. Anyone who tried to stop him would be his enemy.
The thought of Mu Shanhai's value made Wu Hao's mouth water. This was a big shot that a country wanted. He never expected to be discovered by him, and he never expected that he would be able to get his hands on such a person.
Time was passing by, and Wu Hao led his men forward quickly.
After passing through a forest, one of the mercenaries suddenly spoke up: "Boss, look, aren't they the ones up ahead?"
The mercenary pointed in the direction opposite the mountain, where there seemed to be several figures moving about, but they were too far away to be seen clearly with the naked eye at a moment.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao quickly picked up his binoculars and looked over, then burst into laughter: "That's right, it's them, that's right."
"Quick, chase after him. If you can catch him, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury and wealth."
After saying that, he hurriedly left with his men.
Meanwhile, Mu Shanhai also discovered their presence. Mu Shiyu glanced behind her and noticed Wu Hao and the others watching them.
"Father, they seem to have spotted us. Quick, we must leave!"
"What? Someone's coming. Is it Xiao Wu and the others?" Mu Shanhai exclaimed in surprise.
If it were Xiao Wu or someone else, it would be fine, but if it were someone else...
However, they were still quite far apart, and Mu Shiyu could only see a few figures, but she couldn't make out who they were. After all, they were all wearing mercenary uniforms, so who could know who they were?
"I don't know, I didn't see it clearly, I don't know either." Mu Shiyu quickly denied it, she hadn't seen it clearly, and if she misjudged, it would be terrible.
"Uncle, put me down. It would be bad if you got caught. I'm fine." Jiang Xian'er was being carried by Mu Shanhai. She knew that she had become a burden at this moment. With Mu Shanhai carrying her like this, the speed could not be increased.
Moreover, her identity is rather special; she is also Jiang Tao's daughter. Even if she is caught, it's not certain that they will do anything to her.
We still have to give Jiang Tao face, but if Mu Shanhai and the others are arrested, then this matter will be difficult to handle.
Although Jiang Xian'er is usually quite eccentric, she is not stupid at all when it comes to this crucial moment and knows what is most important.
"Xian'er, don't think so much at this time. We will be fine. Besides, no matter what, if we abandon you now, how can we explain it to Xiao later?"
Mu Shiyu comforted them, saying that if they could do such a thing, they wouldn't have to be so careful all the way to the northern border.
"Yes, Shiyu is right. Xian'er, don't worry. At worst, we'll just get caught. But we can't do something like this and betray Xiao."
The group continued running forward, but their speed was definitely no match for Wu Hao's men.
Soon, the gap between the two sides was narrowed.
"Mu Shanhai, stop running. You've already been captured. Is there any point in trying to escape?"
Wu Hao shouted at Mu Shiyu and the others.
"Catch up with him!"
Bang! Bang!
Mu Shiyu was at the very back and fired directly at Wu Hao and the others.
Unfortunately, his marksmanship was so poor that not a single bullet came close to Wu Hao.
"What are you trying to do? Shoot them dead, then how are you going to exchange them for money, you idiots!" Wu Hao stopped his subordinate from firing, and then cursed.
If that shot hits, that won't do.
"Oh right, I almost forgot, there's also Jiang Tao's daughter in here, hahaha, that's killing two birds with one stone." Wu Hao looked at the person on Mu Shanhai's back and suddenly remembered the secret Luo Chen had told him before: Jiang Xian'er was Jiang Tao's daughter.
Jiang Tao is now the leader of the mercenary alliance. If I have Jiang Xian'er, I can use her to threaten Jiang Tao.
This time, Wu Hao was overjoyed to have one item that could earn him money and another that could be exchanged for weapons and equipment.
He even wondered if his happiness that day had come too quickly.
"Let them fight it out. It would be best if they killed each other. If they all died, that would be the best for me." Wu Hao couldn't help but think of John and Luo Chen, the two guys he hated the most.
"Xiao, weren't you very arrogant in front of me back then? Now, I'll show you what happens when you offend me."
Bang! Bang!
Mu Shiyu continued firing to stop Wu Hao's men from catching up.
But as you can imagine, the effect was completely ineffective. She wasn't Luo Chen; how could she eliminate an enemy with a single bullet, especially since it was a mobile shooting situation?
Soon, Mu Shiyu ran out of bullets, and now nothing could stop Wu Hao's men from catching up.
"Gunshots? Did you hear that?" Xiao Wu, who had caught up from behind, suddenly asked.
"It seems so, but I'm not sure. Could I have misheard?" Just as Mia spoke, another gunshot rang out.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened in shock as he looked in the direction of the gunshot.
"Yes, it was gunfire, that's right."
Mike suddenly said, "It was definitely gunfire, which means Mu Shanhai and his men are up ahead."
Instantly, joy spread across their faces, indicating that they had not made a mistake in their pursuit.
But the next second, their expressions turned grim. The gunshots indicated that Wu Hao had run into them.
The fact that they even exchanged gunfire is a huge problem.
"Quick, quick, follow them."
Xiao Wu hurriedly said that if Wu Hao caught them, the consequences would be bad, and if Mu Shiyu and the others were injured, it would be an even bigger problem.
Fortunately, the gunshot helped them confirm their direction, and even if it cost them their lives, they had to catch up quickly.
"Mu Shanhai, why are you still running? Do you really think anyone will come to save you now?"
"Do you think Xiao will come again? Don't worry, they're already in trouble themselves. You have no chance. Just stop obediently."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just need you to do me a few favors."
Wu Hao roared at Mu Shanhai and the others.
"Stop right there, or we'll open fire."
Ta-da!
Wu Hao's men fired directly at their backs to force Mu Shanhai to stop.
Mu Shanhai stopped in his tracks, knowing that there was no way out at this point.
Then he turned to look at Wu Hao, Mu Shanhai's face was calm. He had seen all kinds of people: "Wu Hao, you really are a treacherous and cunning person. I didn't expect you to think of the end."
Indeed, Mu Shanhai and Mu Shiyu had come all the way here without being captured by the mercenaries, but Wu Hao ultimately profited from it, which was simply outrageous.
"Hahahaha, this is what you call a smart person. What are they? They're not as smart as me. I've managed to grow a small rest stop into what it is today. Do you think I survived like this?" At this point, Wu Hao made no attempt to hide his true feelings.
If he were truly a "kind" person, it would be laughable that he could survive so well and maintain such a large scale by running a rest stop in front of so many mercenaries.
Besides, what he did was like that room next to the monitoring room. If he were really an ordinary person, would he do such a thing?
"A wise man knows when to yield to circumstances"—this is the wisest saying Wu Hao has ever learned.
He would never give up everything for anyone, much less risk everything to be with anyone. Even Lina, who had been with him for many years, was ultimately abandoned by him without hesitation.
They were all just tools used by Wu Hao. As long as he could survive and make money, he would do anything.
The reason she did this with Luo Chen was simply because she knew that she couldn't go against Luo Chen or resist John at the time.
Otherwise, Wu Hao would have agreed to Luo Chen's request. If he were so willing to do so, none of what followed would have happened.
"You really are a despicable person!"
"You're wrong. I never deny it. Only by staying alive can you turn the tables. Whether you're a villain or a gentleman, staying alive is the best thing. Do you understand?"
