In a large room filled with clutter, a man covered in blood leaned weakly against the wall, looking at the spider webs on the ceiling with a helpless smile. He felt so helpless and insignificant at this moment.
Shadow, as the king of mercenaries, was not only enduring the tremendous pain in his body, but he was horrified to find that his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred. He had never imagined that one day he would end up in such a state.
After participating in missions of all sizes over the years, he has become accustomed to life and death. He is more open-minded about death than ordinary people, but he doesn't want to watch his brothers die with him. If he were alone, it would be fine, but he really doesn't want to implicate them.
Shadow, holding up his body as if about to collapse, said in a heavy voice, "Brothers, Sister Qiulan, you'd better leave here quickly. I can't escape anymore. Don't let me drag you down. Everyone who can escape is a good one."
Seeing Qiulan's worried expression, Anying continued, "Sister Qiulan, as your brother, I have a favor to ask of you. When you leave, tell the boss about our discovery. Then explain to her that it was me, Anying, who failed to live up to her trust. I will repay her kindness in my next life."
After explaining Qiulan's situation, Shadow turned his gaze to the other brothers again, "Brothers, this time it's your elder brother who has implicated you. I'll give you a chance later. You must escape. If you listen to me, remember to follow the boss carefully after you get out."
"Our boss is no ordinary person. She's capable and responsible, and will definitely bring a bright future to everyone. Please believe this. Of course, this is just my suggestion. How you implement it is up to you."
"You guys take a break. I'll create an opportunity in half an hour. Remember, this is your only chance. Don't let my efforts go to waste. I, Shadow, am counting on you."
After explaining all this, Shadow closed his eyes and began to rest. This was the first time Huo Qiqi assigned him a task, and he messed it up. It was really a bad start.
However, he did not expect that in the process of investigating Qiu Laoliu's identity, he unexpectedly discovered something remarkable, that is, the person behind Qiu Laoliu was actually a member of the Huo family. This person is very likely the second master of the Huo family. His boss also has the surname Huo. Could it be that they are a family?
Just when Shadow brought the core members of his team here to verify his guess, Qiulan accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism during her retreat, attracting a large number of security personnel. In order to save Qiulan, Shadow stayed behind alone to cover their retreat, but was accidentally hit and seriously injured.
Falling into endless self-blame, Ball Orchid stood up immediately after hearing Shadow's words and said unhappily, "Shadow, are you crazy? What discouraging words are you saying? Besides, your current situation is all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally triggered the trap, you wouldn't have been seriously injured. I'll let the brothers take you away later, and I'll stay behind to cover your retreat."
"Sister Qiulan, you and I have been mercenaries for so many years, we should be accustomed to life and death. I will not regret saving you today, even if I die. Besides, you have joined me, so I am responsible for your safety."
"Sister Qiulan, honestly, fate is truly amazing. You went to Xiangjiang to visit me, and ended up meeting the boss. Even after I die, the boss's plan still needs you to continue. Don't do anything stupid."
"I'm already seriously injured and can't escape. I absolutely cannot let you get hurt. I have saved you. I have no regrets. Even if I were to choose again, I would do the same. Sister Qiulan, please, I beg you. You must escape and tell the boss about our discovery. Don't let my death be in vain."
Shadow knew very well how much influence the Huo family had here. If the second master of the Huo family wanted to deal with them, even if they fled the United States, it would be useless. Now, while everyone's identity has not been exposed, he hurriedly urged others to escape.
Qiulan looked at the injured Shadow with a sad face and said uncomfortably, "Shadow, to be honest, before today, I really looked down on you. Although I can't beat you in terms of force, I just can't submit to you."
Qiulan stood up, looked at everyone, and said seriously, "Brothers, bear witness. I, Qiulan, have decided that from today on, Shadow will be the boss I recognize."
"I know, Shadow Boss, if you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been shot through the body by the enemy's bullets. Shadow Boss, don't worry, I will get you out even if I die. Whatever you want to say to the boss, tell her yourself, don't use me."
Seeing Shadow's angry look, Qiulan continued, "Boss Shadow, I know what you want to say, but I won't listen to you."
"You know my temper. It's hard for anyone to change the decisions I make. Of course, our boss is an exception. Shadow Boss, don't tell me to leave again. You should think about how to evacuate from here. That's what's important."
Ji Sen, who was standing by, also spoke up, "Old Shadow, just listen to Qiu Lan, okay? Otherwise, she'll definitely force you out, and then neither of you will survive. It's better to figure out how to save yourselves in this situation. That's what's important."
"Boss Shadow, just listen to Miss Qiulan, okay? She's doing this for your own good. If anything happens to you, the entire team will fall apart. We must firmly believe that as long as there's green mountains, there's no fear of running out of firewood. As long as we get through this, there will be a smooth road ahead, a bright future."
Shadow looked at the five or six people in front of him, tears in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "My good brothers, I have heard your words. I will not be depressed like this anymore. I want to take you all to escape. I will tell the boss everything here. I believe that as long as the boss takes action, everything will be solved."
