Chapter 355: Chasing Chaos at the Business Building

Chapter 355: Sanyou Nala

“The tracking signal is gone!”

On the community rooftop, Xiao Yu stared intently at his watch.

At that moment, an armed helicopter appeared from the side of the building.

Striding, sprinting, then leaping, Xiao Yu dove into the helicopter…

“Let’s go!”

Grabbing the earpiece passed by Zhou Lie and quickly donning it, Xiao Yu said, “They’re coming for Wu Hanran! If we’re late, he’s as good as dead!”

Inside the cabin, Zhou Lie and Shen Mei’s expressions changed dramatically…

Eight minutes later.

The helicopter arrived at the signal-loss zone.

Everyone disembarked as Xiao Yu charged toward the street—stopping a motorcycle in its tracks.

He pulled the rider off the bike and hopped on, racing through the area.

What’s the plan?

Using Wangdie’s Nose to track Wu Hanran’s scent.

There were too many people; Xiao Yu couldn’t use Cheetah’s Speed.

Thankfully, the motorcycle compensated for his lack of speed.

One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes…

Xiao Yu sped through the signal-loss zone, weaving through streets and alleys.

For a full thirteen minutes… screech!

The motorcycle slammed on the brakes, and inertia sent Xiao Yu flipping into the air.

Thud.

Landing nimbly on his feet, he lifted his head.

Found it!

At the rear of a building.

Following Wu Hanran’s scent, Xiao Yu arrived at the building’s back door.

“What are you doing?” a security guard blocked his way.

“Police,” Xiao Yu declared as he flashed his credentials.

“Huh?” The guard’s expression shifted, and he stepped aside.

But then…

Xiao Yu instantly turned to look at the guard.

Normally, when a guard sees police identification, he’s stunned, surprised, or even fearful.

Yet the guard’s eyes betrayed a flash of panic, though he tried to maintain a calm façade.

Smack!

A swift kick to the guard’s cheek sent him crashing to the ground into a near-faint.

Xiao Yu retracted his leg.

Something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.

There was no time to waste—he had to rescue Wu Hanran!

Just then, Zhou Lie burst in with members of Group Nine.

They were all in full combat gear, standard special forces.

Shen Mei also arrived with a team of elite operatives.

Pointing at the guard, Xiao Yu turned and sprinted away.

Zhou Lie and the Group Nine team followed closely.

“Take him away,” Shen Mei ordered coldly.

Two operatives lifted the dazed guard and took him off.

“Seal off the area,” Shen Mei commanded next.

Team Five operatives dispersed, cordoning off the building.

Even though Team Five boasted top-tier operatives,

when it came to killing, capturing, and rescuing,

Xiao Yu and Zhou Lie were the real experts.

Everyone knew their roles…

By now, Xiao Yu had already made his way up the building.

He realized he had become all too familiar with the stairwells lately.

Wu Hanran’s scent led him upward along the stairwell.

Without waiting for Zhou Lie and the others, Xiao Yu took a deep breath.

Activating one system skill after another—Cheetah’s Speed, Spirit of the Raccoon Cat, Squid’s Touch, Flea Bullet…

He bypassed the stairs, scaling walls and leaping upward with astonishing agility.

In just five seconds, Xiao Yu reached the safety door on the eighth floor and charged in.

He dashed through the corridors as the scent grew stronger and closer…

Xiao Yu scanned the area, eyeing each door.

These were apartments in the Business Building,

much like short-term rental units.

As Xiao Yu sprinted through, suddenly,

a door swung open and collided with him mid-stride.

Bang!

Xiao Yu planted his foot against the right wall, swiftly shifting left to avoid the door.

However… the moment he passed through the doorway,

he saw a man standing at the entrance and caught a glimpse of the scene inside a room.

Someone was tied to a chair, and two men stood outside near… a lift?

What lift?

It turned out a man resembling Spider-Man was using a platform on the building’s glass façade!

Something wasn’t right…

Xiao Yu’s feet hit the ground and the man at the door’s face drained of color as he tried to close it.

Boom!

Xiao Yu crashed into the man, slamming against the door.

Ignoring the man crumpled to the floor, he charged into the room.

There, his eyes met Wu Hanran, who was tied to a chair with a furious glare.

And on Wu Hanran’s chest… a bomb!

Instantly, he looked up.

Xiao Yu peered out the window and saw two men on the platform slowly descending.

One man clutched the Yu God Sword.

The other held two remote controls.

One controlled the lift.

The other… controlled the detonator!

At that moment, the enemy grinned maniacally, poised to press both buttons.

Damn it… Xiao Yu cursed as his mind raced at incredible speed.

That speed was beyond normal comprehension.

What now?

Before the detonator could be activated, he had a window to escape, but Wu Hanran was doomed!

To save Wu Hanran, defusing the bomb would take too long.

What to do… then an idea struck!

Even if there wasn’t a second to spare,

Xiao Yu suddenly reached out, grabbed the chair, and lifted Wu Hanran.

…Bring on the flowers…

Under the astonished gaze of the two men on the lift,

he charged forward with purpose… Boom!

Xiao Yu crashed through the glass and lunged towards the lift.

“Come on, let’s fight! Tell me, are you not afraid of death? Dare you detonate the bomb now?”

Do they dare?

They really do!

The problem is, they’re holding a Yu God Sword.

That was a divine artifact.

Would they risk even a speck of damage to it?

They wouldn’t!

This mission was all about retrieving that sword back to the country…

Thud!

Xiao Yu, standing on the lift with the chair and the bomb in tow,

slammed into the man clutching the remote control!

The immense force flattened the man, reducing a tall, living body to that of a dwarf!

……

Dead as can be!

That catastrophic impact, combined with the weight of four people,

thud, thud…

Two steel cables snapped, cascading downward.

Damn it… Xiao Yu was nearing his breaking point.

At that moment, his body lost control—smack!

His hand clutched Wu Hanran while his thighs locked onto the remote-wielding man.

Simultaneously, one hand grabbed the edge of the lift platform.

Another man who had been crushed fell straight down…

The combined weight of three people and the sudden inertia nearly tore Xiao Yu’s arm off.

Luckily, Bear Force and Rhino’s Defense kicked in.

Otherwise, no one could bear over 300 pounds plus that shockwave of momentum.

In the next instant,

the lift platform, Xiao Yu, Wu Hanran, and a man with a bayonet

slammed violently against the building’s glass amid the swaying steel cables.

Boom!

The glass shattered, sending shards flying everywhere.

Unluckily, instead of crashing into the building, they hit the gap between structures.

Crack… Xiao Yu’s chest echoed with the sound of broken ribs.

“Hiss!”

The pain nearly took his breath away and almost made him let go.

No, this was unbearable—he wasn’t about to give in.

With gritted teeth and a forceful thrust of his thighs,

Xiao Yu managed to hoist the man using his legs, throwing him upward.

Crack!

Xiao Yu’s mouth clamped down on the Yu God Sword.

He loosened his legs and delivered a front kick.

Smack… Take that.

Watching the man scream in agony as he plummeted from the air,

Xiao Yu, still clenching the Yu God Sword, let out a cold laugh.

No time for goodbyes… Sanyou Nala! Justice.
