Qi Tianlong sighed inwardly. He had come to this camp based on his intuition, and when he first saw Xiao, he already sensed that the other party was very strong.
And it's excessively strong.
Although there was no unusual aura revealed, Qi Tianlong had great faith in his intuition.
With so many years of experience, and because I trusted my intuition, I was able to escape danger time and time again.
Now, he is even more certain of his intuition.
Xiao is very strong.
He was better than anyone he knew.
What's most terrifying and chilling is Xiao's age.
Before he was even thirty, he already showed signs of reaching the level of a grandmaster.
You can't find a little monster like that anywhere...
Qi Tianlong's reaffirmation left Mu Shanhai speechless with shock.
He now understood exactly what Qi Tianlong wanted to tell him.
It is precisely because I understand this that I am shocked, and even find it unbelievable.
After all, Xiao looks to be only in his early twenties. If it were someone else, they might only be researching why chickens can be combined with basketballs.
However, Qi Tianlong's words were too exaggerated and unbelievable, and Mu Shanhai found it hard to accept such a fact.
If this is true, wouldn't he be a monster, a little demon?
However, at this moment, Mu Shiyu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Father, I also think he is very capable, and I believe he can help us."
"Poetry Rain..."
Mu Shanhai murmured.
Qi Tianlong, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised and curiously looked at Mu Shiyu.
Qi Tianlong found it strange that Mu Shiyu hadn't had much contact with Xiao, or even any contact at all.
How could someone be so confident in Xiao?
But at least for now, Mu Shiyu, like him, believes that Xiao can indeed help them out of the crisis.
Mu Shanhai sighed helplessly, shaking his head slightly as he saw his daughter's unwavering trust.
Then he said to Qi Tianlong, "You two trust him so much that if I were to offer any objections now, you two wouldn't accept them. Since that's the case, I'll just have to do as you do and believe him for now, but..."
"If anything really happens, I won't put all my hopes on him. At that time, I hope Mr. Qi can understand the situation and take us both away. If it's too late, I hope Mr. Qi can protect my daughter well."
Seeing Mu Shanhai's serious expression, Qi Tianlong nodded: "Don't worry, I will."
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Qi."
Having received the other party's affirmation, although it was somewhat unreasonable, since Qi Tianlong clearly did not owe him anything, he still made such a request.
It would be a lie for Mu Shanhai not to feel guilty, but given the current situation, he could only trust Qi Tianlong and place all his hopes on him.
If he is truly freed from this crisis, he will surely repay the debt.
As for Xiao...
To be honest, it's incredibly foolish for anyone to place their trust in someone they don't know.
Knowing someone thoroughly, you can make your own judgments about whether they are trustworthy.
You can confront the demon directly, but verbal statements are not trustworthy.
But this is the situation we are facing now.
Mu Shanhai still chose to believe Qi Tianlong's words and his daughter's affirmation of Xiao.
If the other party is indeed as certain as they two are, then Mu Shanhai will naturally abandon his previous prejudices.
Conversely, Mu Shanhai's words to Qi Tianlong provided a way out.
[...]
Before the three had finished speaking, the mercenary driving the car suddenly stopped.
Startled by this unexpected situation, Mu Shanhai quickly asked, "What's going on? Why did you stop the car?"
The mercenary first looked at the two parked SUVs ahead, then learned some information through the walkie-talkie before turning to Mu Shanhai to explain, "One of the vehicles ahead suddenly had a flat tire and is changing it now. Don't worry, it wasn't an ambush."
"..."
Upon hearing the mercenary's reply, Mu Shanhai looked at Qi Tianlong with slight nervousness. How could a tire suddenly burst out of nowhere?
Given the location right in front of us, with its endless expanse of yellow earth and no cover whatsoever, what if something unexpected happened here?
There's simply no way to avoid it.
In an instant, he thought of many things about Mu Shanhai, and his expression became somewhat panicked.
Qi Tianlong frowned slightly and said to Mu Shanhai, "It shouldn't be anything serious. It might just be a flat tire."
"If you're worried, I can get out of the car and check the situation."
"...Then I'll have to trouble you with this."
Mu Shanhai did not refuse, and Qi Tianlong did not say anything more. He opened the car door, got out, and looked around.
An endless expanse of loess, with tumbleweeds rolling in the wind.
The surrounding area was wide open, with no hiding places whatsoever, not even a single dark spot could be found.
[The black dots naturally refer to those lying in ambush nearby, and those rapidly advancing to launch a surprise attack.]
The expected scenario did not occur. Qi Tianlong frowned and looked at the people who got out of the two cars in front.
Two mercenaries were responsible for changing the tire.
The rest of the people were responsible for keeping watch.
As for Luo Chen, he slightly stroked his chin and, like Qi Tianlong, looked around to check the situation.
After scanning the area once, Luo Chen stopped paying attention.
Just wait patiently for the mercenaries to change the tires.
Qi Tianlong, who had been paying close attention to Luo Chen's situation, was surprised to see Luo Chen standing there so calmly.
As if he had no sense of crisis whatsoever, he couldn't help but curiously step forward to greet Luo Chen.
"Captain Xiao."
Upon hearing Qi Tianlong's voice, Luo Chen nodded and said, "Mr. Qi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Qi Tianlong was speechless. The convoy had already stopped, and then suddenly a tire blew out. Luo Chen actually asked what was wrong. Did he think this was nothing?
After calming himself down a bit, Qi Tianlong said, "Captain Xiao, I actually want to know, why did the tire suddenly burst out of nowhere?"
With yellow dust everywhere and no sharp stones, it's strange that a tire could still blow out on such a road.
Putting that aside, the possibility of human intervention is too high.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen did not immediately explain. Just then, the broken tire had already been removed.
Luo Chen went up and took a look. He found a hole in the tire surface, which was a normal sign of a tire blowout.
Having received the answer, Luo Chen's expression became even more composed.
Seeing that Luo Chen didn't speak, Qi Tianlong followed him and also realized that it was a normal tire blowout.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
The silence between the two of them was intense for Mu Shanhai, who was sitting in the car. Although only a few minutes had passed, it was agonizing, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
The silence between Luo Chen and Qi Tianlong further solidified Mu Shanhai's suspicions.
