Chapter 58

  Grandma's... After all these years of special warfare training, I've actually sunk to the level of taking hostages today. Zhao Zhenhao sighed and said: Shao Hui, tell them that we really haven't had any conflicts with them before. As long as they clear a path for us, I'll immediately release this person.

  Shao Hui conveyed the message to the interpreter, who clearly saw a hint of panic in the eyes of the people. This was a good omen. The interpreter did not dare to make any decisions on his own and loudly discussed with them in their native language. There were no chaotic voices in the crowd, indicating that their hierarchy and discipline were very strict. Zhao Zhenghao did not give them much time to discuss. He shouted sternly: "Make way! My patience is limited!" As he spoke, he walked step by step towards the vehicle, with his team members tacitly walking around him in every direction for protection. The crowd in front gradually began to clear a path. Just then, the leader said a few words, and Zhao Zhenghao felt the vibrations of the other's body as he spoke. When the other finished speaking, the path in the crowd immediately disappeared, and the team was trapped again by the surrounding people.

  The leader suddenly raised his head and sang a high-pitched, melodious song. However, his neck was being controlled by Zhao Zhenghao, so his voice was somewhat suppressed. It wasn't good. He wanted to sacrifice himself to eliminate the team members. Shao Hui held up his gun and shouted, "This is clearly a prayer before a battle!" He wanted to sacrifice himself to achieve his goal. Zhao Zhenghao suddenly tightened his grip on his throat. The melodious song was cut off abruptly. "You, come here," Zhao Zhenghao said, stretching out one finger towards the translator. The translator hesitated and didn't dare move. "I won't hurt you," he said. "Come here, I want to tell you something in private." I can kill you anytime with my gun, so it's not necessary to call you over. Zhao Zhenghao showed one eye and stared at him as he spoke. The translator thought for a moment and slowly walked over. A bit closer. This is just between us. The translator took another few steps forward. Zhao Zhenghao whispered a few words in his ear. The translator's face suddenly changed color, and he turned around and shouted loudly. Slowly, the crowd parted to reveal a path. The leader saw this and shouted loudly. The crowd was stunned and didn't know who to listen to. In that brief moment, the team members quickly ran through the narrow road and rushed towards the car. Zhao Zhenghao's hostage felt something was wrong and struggled to escape his control, slowing down the team members' progress. Zhao Zhenghao simply picked him up and sprinted away. At this time, there were sporadic gunshots from behind. Bullets whizzed past the team members' bodies and flew into the distance. The team members turned around and fired a few shots. The bullets accurately hit the footprints of the people in front. The opponents didn't stop running and took another step forward due to inertia. Another bullet hit their feet, causing them to stop moving. In this way, the people running in front stopped and didn't dare move again. The people behind who were unaware of the situation continued to charge forward until they collided with the people in front and stopped. Bang bang bang! Although the fierce local residents had stopped advancing, they didn't show weakness with their guns. Several bullets flew towards the team members like headless flies, shattering the glass at the back of the vehicle. The shattered fragments splashed everywhere, cutting Zhou Yan's face. "Get in the car quickly!" Shao Hui shouted loudly. The team members rushed into the car quickly. Zuo Ming bent down and ran to the back row, sticking out his gun barrel to shatter the glass of the buildings on the street and distract the opponents. Zhou Yan and Yin Mo simultaneously opened fire with their rifles. Bullets whizzed into the road beneath the opponents' feet. They didn't want to escalate the conflict, so they didn't aim at the crowd. They were just suppressing them with firepower. Unexpectedly, the opponents stopped firing instantly.

  Damn it! Zhao Zhenghao yelled out loud. A group of soldiers appeared in front of them, blocking their way. They were surrounded, with no other intersections to pass through. Get down and fight! Liu Junhao growled, gritting his teeth. Zhao Zhenghao didn't respond, instead stepping on the gas pedal. The car let out a loud roar and shot forward like an arrow. As they got closer to the troops in front, he suddenly slammed on the brakes. The tires screeched loudly, and the car slid to a stop after skidding for a distance. He saw a woman.

  A van was motionless, blocked in the middle of the road by two groups of armed men. The people inside didn't get out. A woman followed a soldier to the front of the car, her mouth curved into a playful smile as she tapped on the window. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a resolute face. The woman smiled and said to him: "Thanks for saving me. Now it's my turn to save you." Her big eyes sparkled playfully, pure like stars.

  Shao Hui jumped out of the car and loudly asked: I saved you, where have you been for so long? Do you know how dangerous we were just now?

  Haha... A woman's laughter is like a silver bell. It's precisely because I know you're in danger that I'm leaving. Otherwise, how would my dad have come? Don't worry, you're safe now.

  Your dad. Shao Hui looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a thin, middle-aged man walking towards them with a steady gait. The woman ran over to him and affectionately took his hand, saying in English, "Dad, it's him who saved me. You should thank him properly." The middle-aged man didn't look very old. He stood still for a moment and then calmly said to Shao Hui and the others, "Let's go together." After that, he led the troops towards the crowd on the other side. The woman pouted and ran back to Shao Hui, saying, "He's your dad. How old are you?" Shao Hui asked in surprise. "I'm 20 years old," she replied. "What? Do I look very old?" The woman, who should be called a girl now, asked in surprise. "No," Shao Hui answered truthfully. "Your face is badly injured. It's hard to tell your real age." Indeed, earlier he had only focused on saving people and hadn't taken a closer look at the girl. Now that she had changed into a beautiful down jacket and was wearing tight-fitting jeans tucked into slender high boots, she looked very pure and innocent. Except for her swollen red face, it was hard to judge her age at first glance. Even so, one could still vaguely see her natural beauty in her eyebrows and eyes.

  Shao Hui smiled wryly. He had been in Basela for so long, and it was the first time he saw a girl dressed like this on the street. He guessed that she must have come out with her family's big team and became bolder. It could also be seen that her father doted on her very much. Girls from such a wealthy family background were generally very individualistic and unreasonable. The team members got into trouble because of her, but instead of apologizing, she came up to ask about his age first.

  Let's go. Don't worry, my old man is here. No one can hurt you. By the way, do you have a girlfriend? The girl asked in one breath. Shao Hui was stunned. He would never have thought that the other party would ask so directly and so bluntly. Liu Junhao was also stunned. Subconsciously replied: None. Zuo Ming viciously kicked him. He let out a cry of pain and came to his senses. When he opened his mouth to scold Zuo Ming, he saw Shao Hui's contemptuous gaze and finally shut up.
