Half an hour later.
Morphing into a sun-kissed handsome youth, Xiao Yu stepped out of a clothing store.
He strolled with a cheerful smile, following a young man from about twenty meters away.
Disguise is a peculiar art.
Sometimes the more flamboyant you are, the less likely people are to be suspicious.
At that moment, several women couldn’t help but let their eyes wander over his face.
Meanwhile, envious glances from other men felt like tiny daggers piercing him.
In contrast, the young man merely cast a glance at him before shifting his view to scan for any other suspicious figures.
Soon enough, convinced that no one was tailing Wu Hanran, he headed off in one direction…
Xiao Yu blinked briefly.
Using his Falcon’s Eye, he kept watch until the young man was nearly fifty meters away.
Only then did he start following him slowly…
Both maintained a steady distance of fifty meters.
Xiao Yu made sure to hide his presence so the young man could hardly see him, while he clearly observed him.
Even if his Falcon’s Eye failed, his Wangdie’s Nose would still pick up the scent.
What a way to run!
Forty minutes later.
The young man appeared in a residential area, scanned the surroundings, and then walked in.
Fifty meters away, Xiao Yu smirked coldly as he entered a narrow alley.
He removed his wig, switched his shirt and pants inside out, grabbed a wet wipe and a makeup kit, wiped off his makeup, and then began reapplying it at breakneck speed…
Five minutes later, with his makeup complete, he removed his shoes.
From his pocket he pulled out two rubber balls about the size of a clenched fist.
They split apart and transformed into a pair of bean-shaped shoes.
Once Xiao Yu stepped out, his entire demeanor shifted.
He transformed from a radiant youth into an unassuming young man.
He made full use of National Security’s special disguise gear.
Leisurely, he strolled until he reached the residential area from fifty meters away.
A person can vanish in an instant.
But a scent doesn’t disappear that quickly.
Arriving at the door of an apartment unit, Xiao Yu gripped the handle tightly.
With Bear Force… Boom!
The door burst open as he stepped inside.
The odor dissipated near the elevator. Standing there, Xiao Yu stepped into the open elevator.
There were eight floors in total—he pressed every button.
He got off on the second floor.
Xiao Yu stepped out, took a sniff, and then returned to the elevator.
He continued on to the third, fourth… up to the sixth floor.
When Xiao Yu emerged and took a whiff, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He fixed his gaze in one direction.
Upon seeing a front door with a surveillance camera attached,
without any hesitation he half-crouched and charged forward.
With the speed of a cheetah, the defense of a rhino, and the force of a bear… Boom!
Xiao Yu slammed his body into the entry door, crashing through it and barreling into the room.
Inside the hall, a pair of eyes were fixed on a TV displaying surveillance footage.
They had also caught sight of two men.
One man clutched a knife, while the other was in the midst of drawing his pistol.
Clearly, they had already noticed Xiao Yu on the monitor.
Had he hesitated any longer, it might have given them time to prepare.
Boom!
The security door slammed against the wall as Xiao Yu appeared before the knife-wielding man.
Crack!
The man’s wrist snapped; as his long knife fell, Xiao Yu caught it, spun around, and reached out.
Thud!
The long knife plunged into the abdomen of the man who had just drawn his pistol.
Thud, thud, thud!
Three more stabs and the man collapsed.
Meanwhile, his pistol was swiftly taken by Xiao Yu.
Turning around, Xiao Yu pressed the pistol into the mouth of the man whose wrist had been broken.
He forced the man’s scream back down…
“Shh, don’t shout!”
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and warned, “I know how to shoot!”
Although clearly in agony, the man stifled his cry of pain.
Isn’t it incredible?
On the brink of life and death, a human’s survival instinct can drive them to accomplish the impossible.
“Hm?”
Xiao Yu’s nose twitched as his expression shifted.
He detected the scent of five people.
Boom!
A fist smashed into the man’s chin as he spun around.
With a thunderous crash, Xiao Yu busted through a bedroom door.
Bang!
A bullet whizzed over Xiao Yu’s head.
Bang, bang, bang!
Crouched on the floor, Xiao Yu fired three rapid shots.
In the bedroom, a gunman took three hits.
Shots struck his wrist, chest, and forehead… Xiao Yu holstered his pistol and charged, crashing into another bedroom door.
Crash—amid shattered wood, screams erupted.
Xiao Yu paused and glared coldly at two individuals.
A young man and a young woman.
The man had a gun pressed against the woman’s head.
Eyeing the man’s features, Xiao Yu said coldly, “Qi Huan?”
Who is Qi Huan?
He is the boyfriend of Wu Yaxin, daughter of Wu Hanran.
And he is that former suspected spy.
No—he is no longer a suspect; it’s now confirmed.
An ordinary person wouldn’t point a gun at someone’s head, would they?
Especially when the woman… is Wu Yaxin!
Inside, Xiao Yu exhaled a deep, relieved sigh.
What luck, huh?
Who would have thought that someone like me—constantly unlucky with two-dollar lottery tickets since childhood—could finally have a break?
Could I finally evolve into a lucky charm?
But a lucky streak never lasts long… Xiao Yu muttered self-deprecatingly.
Especially at a time like this…
“Drop the gun,” Qi Huan commanded coldly.
Xiao Yu promptly discarded his pistol.
The instant he did, Qi Huan shifted his arm, aiming the gun at Xiao Yu with a fierce grin.
Bang!
What’s so funny? As Qi Huan moved his arm, Xiao Yu lunged forward.
In a single, cat-like move, he rolled onto the floor right in front of Qi Huan and Wu Yaxin.
His hands struck Qi Huan’s ankles.
As Xiao Yu sprang to his feet, Qi Huan was flipped onto his back.
With an arcing swing of Xiao Yu’s arm, Qi Huan’s body flew horizontally through the air.
Crash!
Qi Huan was slammed against the wall like a sack, his body splintering upon impact.
With bones cracking and splintering, he collapsed, resembling a human mural peeling off a wall.
“Please, save my father!”
Wu Yaxin screamed in desperate plea to Xiao Yu.
“What’s going on?” Xiao Yu’s expression darkened.
“Once they get what they want, they’ll kill my father—and then me.”
Wu Yaxin cried out, “Hurry… do something…”
Reaching out, Xiao Yu retrieved his sidearm.
Amid Wu Yaxin’s piercing screams,
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Bullets shattered the bones in Qi Huan’s wrist and ankle.
Xiao Yu briskly stepped out of the room.
Bang! Bang!
Two more shots later, the two men in the hall were neutralized.
With Wu Yaxin saved and Qi Huan left barely clinging to life, it was enough.
Xiao Yu took out his phone and alerted the Special Operations team.
Then he dashed out of the room himself.
After years of toiling and shedding blood for the nation,
even though Wu Hanran made mistakes, he couldn’t die.
The nation won’t let a villain go unpunished—but it never forgets its heroes!
