Chapter 654: A Dazzling Display of Courage

Book Chapter 654: Let Me Give You a Show (2 Updates)

Bremen, a certain hospital. Lin

Song Jiaxi was panicking, his heart pounding wildly.

Lying on an operating table and under local anesthesia, he ‘enjoyed’ the procedure as the surgeon extracted a bullet.

What now?

Have the guards outside left?

If they haven’t, how can he escape?

Song Jiaxi felt utterly hopeless.

He knew that even after the surgery, it would take at least an hour or two for the anesthesia to wear off.

Plenty could happen in that time.

For instance, his true identity could be exposed.

Or his facial disguise could be seen through.

Even as the surgery continued, the doctors began to suspect something was off.

His face appeared Caucasian, but his skin was unmistakably Asian.

Perhaps out of professionalism, the doctors continued the operation.

But once it was over, they would surely call the police.

His lips twitched as Song Jiaxi felt reality closing in.

Time trudged by slowly.

Song Jiaxi felt as if years were passing by.

He wished the surgery would drag on, yet secretly hoped for a miracle.

But, alas, miracles hardly exist in this world.

The operation was complete.

Song Jiaxi watched as two doctors hurried out of the operating room.

Another assistant surgeon picked up a scalpel and looked at him coldly.

Song Jiaxi’s sorrow surged like a raging river.

He’s doomed!

But just when all hope seemed lost for Song Jiaxi…

Suddenly.

Boom!

A terrifying roar echoed from outside.

Song Jiaxi felt the room shaking and the operating table trembling.

An earthquake?

Both he and the doctor were utterly baffled.

A few minutes later, the operating room door was flung open.

“Oh no! A helicopter just crashed onto the building upstairs!” a staff member shouted.

Song Jiaxi: ???

Assistant Surgeon: ???

What the hell? A helicopter crashed onto our building roof?

Is this some kind of movie set?

“Quick, evacuate the patients! The building is dangerous now, we need to get out,” the staff shouted again.

The assistant surgeon glanced at Song Jiaxi, hesitated briefly, then turned and left.

That’s just how people are.

When they’re safe, they’ll act brave.

But when danger strikes and lives are at risk…

They immediately scramble for safety.

Watching the assistant surgeon’s retreat, Song Jiaxi rolled his eyes in exasperation.

What happened to the so-called “Angel in White”?

He had just brandished his scalpel, yet now he was fleeing in panic.

He looked damn like a demon!

Are we all doomed?

Song Jiaxi sighed as his eyes glazed over.

For no apparent reason, he thought of his ex-girlfriend.

He even regretted breaking up with her.

Marriage would have been so great—maybe they’d even have a kid by now.

He missed how, every morning at seven, she’d get up to grab something to eat and nudge him to drink water.

She’d feed him a sip of salty soup while he offered her a bowl of plain congee.

In matters of the heart…

isn’t it all just the daily grind?

Simplicity is the ultimate truth!

But…

Song Jiaxi sighed once more.

After all, he was a National Security operative—a field agent, essentially a spy.

What could he possibly offer her?

In the end, would he send her a message of his own sacrifice through someone else?

He left because he loved her.

And it was all happening to him!

He remembered saying, “Let’s just forget about each other in this vast world.”

She had retorted, “Fine by me—forget each other, you deadbeat!”

That day, they broke up!

Yet, he left all his inheritance rights to his ex.

In this world, he had no remaining family.

She was his only kin!

Fond memories warmed him as Song Jiaxi smiled happily.

His smile was tearful.

I… miss you!

“Was it because you knew I’d come back to save you that you were moved to tears?”

A voice laced with mockery echoed through the operating room.

Song Jiaxi’s body jolted as he stared incredulously at its source.

Leaning against the wall was a figure reeking of gunpowder.

He casually smoked while grinning at him.

“I thought…”

Surprise and an indescribable warmth surged through Song Jiaxi’s chest.

“You thought I’d abandon you?”

Xiao Yu grinned broadly, “When have Dragon Kingdom men ever deserted a comrade?”

Song Jiaxi pressed his mouth shut tightly, fearing he’d burst into tears.

Yet tears still streamed down uncontrollably.

They weren’t tears of joy, but of deep emotion!

“Like a sissy.”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.

“Bullshit.”

Song Jiaxi glared, “I never cried out in pain or shed a tear even when they tortured me!”

“Haha… okay, okay, you’re the toughest guy ever, alright?”

Xiao Yu laughed heartily as he walked to the operating table. “Is the anesthesia wearing off?”

“Almost,” Song Jiaxi replied, moving slightly.

“Can we get out?” Xiao Yu chuckled.

“Why not?” Song Jiaxi retorted stubbornly.

“Then what are we waiting for?”

Xiao Yu grinned, “Time to go home!”

Home?

A longing spark lit up Song Jiaxi’s eyes.

Then let’s head home.

I want to see her.

Just a glimpse is enough…

……

The morning light gradually blossomed.

Bremen Dock.

As mentioned earlier, Bremen is the second-largest port city in Country D.

A cargo ship about to set sail was busy hoisting containers.

Xiao Yu supported Song Jiaxi as they made their way toward the dock.

Two men resembling dockworkers approached them.

“Good work!”

Without further exchange, the two helped Song Jiaxi up while gazing at Xiao Yu with a mix of admiration and fervor.

Last night’s events had caught everyone’s attention.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Yu would single-handedly storm the Security Bureau,

nor did anyone expect him not only to emerge unscathed…

but also to rescue someone along the way!

For everyone in the know…

it defied description as a mere miracle.

It was downright fantastical!

What followed was pride, honor, and undeniable excitement.

The two ‘Dandelions’ looked at Xiao Yu in exhilaration.

He was the leader of Team 10 in National Security,

and so far, National Security’s

strongest blade!

With such a blade, what couldn’t they achieve?

That’s why Big Boss sent him,

and he had completed his mission!

The two ‘Dandelions’ raised their hands in salute to Xiao Yu.

“You guys should get going.”

Xiao Yu chuckled softly, ignoring the astonished expressions of the three before turning to gaze into the distance, “I still have work to do!”

He certainly did.

In his line of sight, Xiao Yu spotted a convoy of military police vehicles heading toward the dock.

Had they noticed our escape and now planned to blockade all city exits?

Xiao Yu snorted.

I wonder if you’ve ever heard of Dragon Kingdom’s Thirty-Six Stratagems?

Come on, let me show you how it’s done!
