Chapter 347: Don’t Struggle, It’s Useless

Chapter 347: Don’t Struggle, It’s Useless

After sprinting over eighty meters, leaving two special ops trailing far behind, Xiao Yu dashed into Building B.

He came to a stop in front of two elevators, both ascending.

One halted at the 14th floor and the other at the 11th.

As the two special ops advanced, Xiao Yu commanded, “You two hold the elevators!”

Then, he plunged into the stairwell, racing upward.

In that instant, he unleashed every bit of Cheetah’s Speed and Bear Force.

Xiao Yu hurtled like a bolt of lightning, reaching the 5th floor in just a few breaths.

Wait a second…

His pace faltered, and a frown creased his face.

Could he escape through the upper floors without using the elevator or stairwell?

Yes!

With his expression shifting, Xiao Yu opened a window in the stairwell and peeked out.

Damn it… he muttered a curse.

He saw a man clutching a rope.

Sliding rapidly down the exterior wall, the man had already reached the 3rd floor.

Could he get down in time?

Not in time… Xiao Yu threw his arm over the window ledge and leaped. Jumping from five or six floors high—was he courting death?

If he had just jumped, even with a system, surviving would have meant crippling injuries.

No, Xiao Yu wasn’t simply jumping off.

The moment he leaped, his palm clutched the far edge of the window ledge, his body suspended outside.

Then, he quickly released his grip, letting his body fall.

Thud!

His hand snagged the ledge on the 4th floor.

After a brief cushion, he let go again.

Thud… against the 3rd-floor ledge.

A final cushion…

An astonishing sight unfolded.

Using each floor as a stepping stone, Xiao Yu skillfully leveraged the ledges and, in the blink of an eye, landed on the ground.

Cold and indifferent, he glared at the man who had used the rope to slide down.

Not Wu Hanran!

But did that even matter?

“Why are you tailing the police and special ops?”

The man stared at Xiao Yu in disbelief, his face etched with shock.

“How is this possible?”

“How dare he?”

“He actually jumped down bit by bit from the fifth or sixth floor?”

“Is that even humanly possible?!”

Ordinary people couldn’t pull it off, but extreme athletes could.

Think of parkour experts or skilled climbers.

Or even system ability sports specialists!

“Done running?”

Step by step, Xiao Yu advanced toward him.

In his mid-twenties, with an unremarkable appearance and around 1.7 meters tall, he was the kind of guy who could easily blend into a crowd.

But his agility was impressive.

Most wouldn’t dare to slide down a multi-story building on a single rope, would they?

Moreover, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, why risk such a death-defying act?

Seeing Xiao Yu close in, the Young Man spun around to flee.

But barely had he turned when…

A palm, heavy as Mount Tai, slammed onto his shoulder.

“How could this be…?” the Young Man wondered in astonishment.

Just moments before, they had been seven or eight meters apart.

How did Xiao Yu bridge that gap in an instant?

As the Young Man lifted his arm, his elbow was knocked back forcefully.

Bang!

It collided with someone’s chest with brutal force.

A glimmer of satisfaction crossed the Young Man’s face.

But why hadn’t his opponent fallen?

Because… of the system skill, Rhino’s Defense!

“Not resisting anymore? So, is it my turn now?” A chilling voice echoed from behind the Young Man.

With his neck stiffening, the Young Man slowly turned to behold Xiao Yu’s handsome yet cold, ruthless face.

He also noticed the unmistakable look of disdain on Xiao Yu’s face.

It was as if Xiao Yu were saying, “I’ve already lost everything, and you still want to mess around?”

“Ah!”

The Young Man roared in anger, twisting his waist and swinging his thigh at Xiao Yu’s head.

But…

Thud!

With deliberate steps, Xiao Yu reached out and gripped the Young Man’s neck.

Hoisting him high, he then slammed him down forcefully.

Bang!

The Young Man’s body, like a ragdoll, crashed onto the ground.

“Don’t struggle—it’s useless,” Xiao Yu declared.

Squatting down, he coldly glared at the Young Man. “Know Wu Hanran?”

He restrained himself from delivering a fatal blow; otherwise, the Young Man would have been nothing more than a corpse.

Using just enough force, the Young Man remained conscious.

Still reeling from the intense pain, fear flashed in his eyes as he lifted his arm once more…

Crack!

The Young Man’s arm snapped.

“Hurts, huh?”

Watching the Young Man howl in agony, Xiao Yu smirked, “I told you—it’s useless.”

But clearly, the Young Man just couldn’t understand reason.

He raised his other arm…

Crack… it too snapped!

The Young Man writhed on the ground, screaming in unbearable pain.

Xiao Yu slowly got to his feet, his gaze fixed on the fallen foe.

Until finally, two special ops arrived.

Zhou Lie and Shen Mei, accompanied by a sizable group of special ops, rushed over.

Seeing the agonized Young Man on the ground, the two team leaders frowned.

Not out of concern for his suffering, but because he wasn’t Wu Hanran.

Without looking back, Xiao Yu calmly inquired, “Didn’t you find him?”

The two team leaders exchanged a glance and managed a bitter smile.

“What low IQ…”

“He must have deliberately disguised himself as Wu Hanran to lure us here,” one observed.

Xiao Yu pointed at the Young Man on the ground, “Prise his mouth open!”

……

National Security’s methods are well known.

Half an hour later…

Inside a business building’s suite,

Zhou Lie, with a grim look, stepped out from a room and approached Xiao Yu and Shen Mei in the lobby. In a cold tone he said, “A pawn!”

What’s a pawn?

Someone you use when needed.

Then discard when useless—sometimes even to divert enemy attention.

These people are typically seduced by money, serving foreign intelligence agencies.

They could even be branded as traitors of National Security!

Of course, such individuals rarely get off lightly.

They either spend a lifetime in prison or end up on the execution ground.

There is no third option!

Xiao Yu frowned and remarked, “Attracting our attention, taking Wu Hanran away?”

“That’s probably the case,” came the reply.

Shen Mei nodded, “Standard procedure!”

When it comes to this, Team Five is the experts.

Discarding a pawn to divert attention is a classic feint—sometimes even a decoy.

Only special ops can handle special ops.

Ordinary police and armed forces usually can’t stop special ops from escaping.

Conversely, grooming a top-notch special ops agent isn’t easy.

Frustratingly, Wu Hanran was exactly that—a top-notch special ops agent!

“It’s a bit odd,”

Xiao Yu’s tone dripped with sarcasm as he said, “Why would those people help Wu Hanran? If external forces only need the blueprints for the hideouts, why can’t they find them on their own? Why force Wu Hanran to search? Does that even make sense?”

Shen Mei and Zhou Lie were left dumbfounded.

Indeed, it made no sense.

If you have the blueprints, why force Wu Hanran to defect and trigger National Security’s involvement?

Wouldn’t it be better to stealthily approach and locate the hideout without drawing gunfire?

“Did something happen?”

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yu’s eyes as he stated, “They have to send Wu Hanran, no matter what.”
