Chapter 494
Xiao Yun straightened his body, pulling out a pistol from under his exclusive seat. He adjusted the earpiece in his ear and said, “There seems to be trouble, everyone stay on guard.”
Apart from Ye Junqing himself, the other cars in the caravan were occupied by bodyguards. Upon hearing Xiao Yun’s words, they all drew their weapons, got out of their vehicles, and circled the car Ye Junqing was in. Looking around the tunnel, they remained cautious and vigilant.
Xiao Yun handed a bulletproof vest from the car to Ye Junqing, saying, “Lord Qing, there appears to be trouble. This is a tunnel, and so many spikes have been dropped. The opponents must be prepared.”
Ye Junqing took the bulletproof vest and immediately put it on Ye Xingguang. Seeing this, Xiao Yun quickly took off his own bulletproof vest, but Ye Junqing waved his hand and said, “No need, I want to see who dares to provoke me.”
“Who’s, who’s starting a fight?” A drunken Ye Xingguang, being forcefully dressed in the bulletproof vest, rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, completely prepared to go on a killing spree.
Ye Junqing firmly confined her in his arms, forbidding her to move. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the dark, and one of the bodyguards surrounding the car cried out, “Be careful, everyone get down!”
At the moment everyone hit the ground, four modified, black off-road vehicles barged in from both ends of the tunnel like four fierce beasts. Each vehicle was mounted with a submachine gun, their menacing muzzles leaving the bodyguards on edge.
In this situation, they were sitting ducks, with no place to hide.
Xiao Yun assessed the situation, his back involuntarily breaking out in a cold sweat. If all the submachine guns on board the off-road vehicles were to fire at them, they would definitely be riddled with holes. Worse still, their car tires had blown out, making it impossible to break out, and they were stuck in a tunnel.
Xiao Yun immediately dialed a number on his phone only to find there was no signal in this tunnel. The opponents must have activated a signal-blocking device. Who was so audacious as to attempt to kill Lord Qing in a city tunnel?
Xiao Yun used his mobile phone like a telescope, magnifying the lens and finally spotting a familiar face in one of the off-road vehicles.
The man was wearing a camouflage vest, arrogantly sitting in the vehicle’s passenger seat. His muscular arms were focused on their convoy, a sinister smile on his face, as if he was looking at something captured in a net.
Xiao Yun correctly identified him, “Pay attention, everyone. Dark Dragon is in the off-road vehicle on the left. We may have run into a team of mercenaries.”
As Xiao Yun’s earpiece was connected to the others, all of the bodyguards outside the car heard what he had said.
“Dark Dragon? The professional assassin ranked eighth on the hit list? Didn’t he disappear from the world of assassins five years ago? Has he returned to his old profession?”
“I heard he used to be a legendary figure in the world of assassins. He never failed a mission. Very few people have seen him because he murders anyone who has. I heard he retired because he fell in love with a beautiful girl. Now he’s come out of retirement to kill Lord Qing? Captain Xiao, are you sure you recognized him correctly?”
“I’m one of the fortunate few who’ve seen him. Be careful, everyone. We’re trapped here tonight. If we can’t break out, we can’t guarantee Lord Qing’s safety.”
A bodyguard muttered under his breath, “Damn it, what do we do now? We’re completely surrounded, and there are heavy weapons in their vehicles. We’re sitting ducks. We must swear to protect Lord Qing. We must bring him out of here!”
