When Xu Hang was taken back by the two soldiers, he counted silently in his mind.
The entire Qiyan Villa had no more than 30 soldiers, most of whom surrounded Zhang Yaochen. The room where he was imprisoned was near the base of the wall, directly against a wall. Just as one of the soldiers went to open the door, Xu Hang saw a shiny object on the top of the wall, and then there was a flash in front of his eyes, and a flying knife shot over!
The flying knife went straight into the throat of another standing soldier, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open before he could even utter a sound.
The soldier who opened the door turned around after hearing the noise, but before he could see clearly, Xu Hang hit him on the neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious.
Two people climbed down from the wall, one was Liao Qin, and the other was a stranger, but he followed Liao Qin closely. They were tied with ropes and threw a gun to Xu Hang: “Mr. Xu, hurry up!”
Xu Hang took Liao Qin’s hand, and someone soon helped pull him from the other side of the wall.
“Who’s there!” The patrol soldiers heard the strange sound and came over to look and saw that Xu Hang had already escaped from the top of the wall. He immediately raised his gun and shot at the top of the wall.
Bang, bang, bang!
Liao Qin was not to be outdone. He dodged and fought back, killing two soldiers and jumping out.
“What’s going on?!” Hearing the gunshot, Zhang Yaochen also chased over. Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, he knew that he had lost the person and immediately ordered, “Shoot!”
Xu Hang shouted in an arrogant and teasing tone outside the wall, “Chief of Staff, see you later, I’m leaving first!”
“Chase him! If it doesn’t work, you can shoot him to death and drag the body back! Just don’t let him fall into Duan Yelin’s hands!” Zhang Yaochen pushed the soldiers beside him and told them to leave quickly.
He had a premonition that if this young man was allowed to leave, he would definitely bring a threat to the Zhang family!
Xu Hang and Liao Qin, who had escaped, ran out. Liao Qin was holding a hammer in his hand and waved it: “I was worried about what to do with your handcuffs, but I didn’t expect you to unlock them yourself.”
As Xu Hang ran, he pulled out a golden needle from his waist like a magician: “I have hidden a few needles in the acupuncture points.”
Liao Qin grimaced when he saw it, hiding needles on his body, he was really not afraid of the pain.
Xu Hang looked around and found that Liao Qin had brought only four or five people with him, and the pursuers were chasing them relentlessly until they reached Wuhua Tianbao—a double fork in the road.
Only then did he realize that Liao Qin had prepared a lot of horses here in advance and that all the brothers from the Yan gang were here. Xiao Yan was also trustworthy, he gave all the people he could give to Xu Hang. They were a group of capable fighters.
“The area around Qiyan Villa is too quiet. We’re afraid they’ll notice and attack you in advance, so we can only place them in Wuhua Tianbao first.” Liao Qin explained to Xu Hang, “They only have that many people. If we lead them to kill them now, we will definitely be able to kill Zhang Yaochen!”
“No, this is not my plan.” Xu Hang looked at the number of bullets in the gun. “One of Zhang Yaochen’s assassins once told me that there is an escape passage in Qiyan Villa, and only Zhang Yaochen himself knows where this passage is. If we rush in with all our might, he will definitely abandon others and take the opportunity to escape before we are able to break through.”
“So what are your plans?”
Xu Hang narrowed his eyes and said, “Hasn’t the tiger been lured away from the mountain already? He still thinks I am just running away, so he doesn’t feel any sense of danger yet. You hold those soldiers back for me, and I will go back by myself.”
“You alone?!” Liao Qin seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary. “Even if there are only a few people left in Qiyan Villa, it’s still very dangerous for you to be alone!”
“It won’t be too dangerous. As long as Zhang Xiuming’s reinforcements don’t arrive, I’m seventy percent sure. I believe Duan Yelin can hold back the troops of the Zhang Family Manor. You just need to prevent Zhang Yaochen’s men from having the chance to go back and spread the news.”
“No! This is too dangerous!” Liao Qin called to the side, “Xiao Jiu, Guo Zi, the two of you go with him!”
Xu Hang watched as he mounted the horse and began getting a feel for its temperament. Just as he was about to turn the horse around and head back to Qiyan Villa, a sudden flurry of hurried footsteps came from the other side. Before the horse even stopped, a man let out a sigh and rolled off, running to Liao Qin’s ear and hurriedly reporting something.
Liao Qin was shocked when he heard this and immediately stopped Xu Hang: “Mr. Xu! Wait!”
Xu Hang pulled the reins on his horse, not knowing why.
“The situation has changed!”
The changing situation refers to Duan Yelin, who was attacking the Zhang Family Manor.
According to Xu Hang’s plan, Duan Yelin should be fighting with Zhang Xiuming at this moment, killing each other to death.
However, with Duan Yelin’s intelligence, he should have realized sooner or later that this was a feint, and Xu Hang’s mistake was that Duan Yelin saw through it too quickly.
He underestimated Duan Yelin’s strength in actual combat.
Duan Yelin had no more than 200 people, all of whom were dressed as gangsters, but Zhang Xiuming had nearly 1,000 people around the manor.
The first wave of fifty people went in, made a scene, and even broke through the door into the inner hall. If Qiao Song hadn’t remembered Duan Yelin’s instructions, he would have been unable to resist and attacked directly already.
He stepped forward and said to Duan Yelin with urgency, “Commander, there are a lot of people inside, but they’re completely at ease.”
Duan Yelin remained completely calm upon hearing this. He lowered his head, rested his hands on his waist, and pondered for a moment before asking Qiao Song, “Who is the head of the Zhang family?”
“Zhang Xiuming is watching from the balcony.”
“Where’s Zhang Yaochen?”
“He went to Qiyan Villa early in the morning.”
Duan Yelin made a prompt decision: “Retreat! Go to Qiyan Villa!”
“Ah? Commander… but Zhang Xiuming has deployed a large number of troops here…”
“He went to such great lengths to guard this place, and yet after the fifty of you stormed into the inner hall, he let you walk right back out without a fight. The door’s wide open too, clearly, he’s trying to lure me in and trap me. Laozi never used such a trick even when I was on the battlefield when I was young!”
Duan Yelin spat and got into the car.
Qiao Song suddenly realized what was going on and quickly gestured, asking everyone to follow Duan Yelin and leave.
Zhang Xiuming, who was on the balcony of the Zhang family manor, was originally holding a telescope and watching the actions of the people brought by Duan Yelin. He felt somewhat confident of winning, but who knew that they only attacked once, without any harm, and then there was no sound again?
He held it in for half an hour before he could no longer resist and asked someone to go out and check. But there wasn’t a single mosquito outside, there was no sign of anyone.
Zhang Xiuming threw the telescope to the ground in an instant: “Damn it!” His subordinate ran to the balcony and was grabbed by Zhang Xiuming: “Where did he run to?!”
“I don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t know. I just saw… saw that the wheels were going… going south.”
South? That was Qiyan Villa. He had set up such a huge maze, but Duan Yelin had seen through it without any effort!
“Young Master, shall we follow them to Qiyan Villa?”
Zhang Xiuming pulled out his gun and pointed it at that young soldier’s head: “Nonsense! Hurry up! If you don’t go, I’ll kill you!”
The soldier raised his hands in surrender, fearing that Zhang Xiuming would lose his grip in a fit of rage: “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll be right there!”
“Come back!” Zhang Xiuming slammed the railing, and the soldier shuddered. “How are the ‘things’ I asked you to prepare?”
“Oh, everything, everything is all prepared!”
“Good, good.” Zhang Xiuming gritted his teeth and laughed twice.
It’s just a game of chess. Losing a move is nothing. Only those who win in the end are the kings. Who said that Zhang Xiuming only had one move? The big move is yet to come.
Duan Yelin, Xu Hang, just wait and see.
Even if he loses this beauty’s bone, he will still win against them once.
