“Shen Zhiting, don’t do anything rash!”
Shen Zhiting waved his hand as if he had heard nothing.
Anytime he would make his move, the other members of the National Metahuman Squad would automatically fall back, because they didn’t need to follow up with any other attacks.
Luo Feng’s heart was frozen. He hurriedly tightened his grip on Tan Yan and forced out the last bit of energy in his body. An icicle instantly prickled the skin on Tan Yan’s neck.
Tan Yan grunted. The bone-like coldness and pain from the stab in his shoulder from earlier still left him with lingering fear.
“Stop! Stop!” He tried his best to stop them with a dark expression. “I’ll be your witness! That you really wanted to complete the mission, but you couldn’t because you wanted to save me!”
The people from the National Metahuman Squad were secretly speechless.
They really didn’t know why things had developed so strangely.
Tan Yan spoke up for them? They had to complete this mission because of him!
“Let’s just finish them all off once and for all. Otherwise, there will always be people who will use this as an excuse to stir up trouble with us.” Shen Zhiting was unmoved.
Tang Susu pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. She didn’t know that he had such a scheming side.
“No, it’s me. I’m the one who dragged you down! I was also the one who forced you to give up on this mission. 1 was useless and fell into their hands. I will explain it to the higher-ups truthfully and won’t cause you any trouble. I won’t do it in the future too!”
Hearing this, the National Metahuman Squad understood the Boss was setting up an even bigger trap.
Tan Yan also realized this. He wanted to laugh coldly, but he couldn’t laugh at all. Luo Feng’s icicle was about to pierce into his flesh!
“Shen Zhiting, don’t be so hypocritical. Let’s just forget about this! I promise I won’t cause trouble for your National Metahuman Squad again.”
“The way to not cause any trouble is to just die.” Eighth bared his teeth.
Tan Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t dare to ask them to do anything. Even if he fell into You Herong’s hands and waited for others to save him, he didn’t want to fall into the hands of the National Metahuman Squad.
“Just this once, don’t kill them, I beg you!” Even though he knew that if Shen Zhiting was willing, he could easily save him, Tan Yan could only suppress his anger.
Only then did Shen Zhiting retract his hand. This gesture was actually just for show. He didn’t need any movements to use his ability.
But few people knew about it.
His gaze couldn’t help but fall on the girl who was leaning against the car door with her arms crossed.
Seeing him look over, she winked at him.
They had never interacted before. The smile in her eyes made him understand he had done the right thing.
This was the result she wanted.
A second ago, Luo Feng had thought that their lucky escape resulted from the battle between the two sides. When he had unintentionally caught this moment, he understood what was going on.
It was all thanks to her again!
He sighed in his heart and quickly instructed the others, “Quick, retrieve You Cheng and leave!”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw He Qiang standing beside You Cheng. “He Qiang, you…”
He Qiang tried his best to suppress the reluctance in his heart. “You guys should leave. I’ve already decided to follow Miss Tang.”
Some wounds were permanent, even if it was unintentionally inflicted. Even if their trust and friendship were built as they fought under the hail of bullets, the disappointment and pain he experienced at that time could never be erased.
Luo Feng patted his shoulder heavily. “Then do what you can for Miss Tang, for all our sake. We owe her too much.”
“You can join us, too. She’ll definitely welcome you.”
“Do you think we would be any slower than you if we didn’t have a family to take care of?” Tears flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes as he silently patted his shoulder. “Goodbye!”
He Qiang suddenly hugged him, his eyes instantly red. “When you go back, you must rest well!”
“I know!” Luo Feng stood up straight and said nothing else. He turned around and left.
“Right!” He Qiang smiled at his back and said, “I took my revenge for Cao Yi. It was Miss Tang who gave me this opportunity.”
Luo Feng stopped in his tracks as he realized something. He slowly let out a relieved smile.
That was nice.
The group of soldiers brought the captive Tan Yan and left quickly. Du Mei’s expression didn’t change for a long time.
After going around in circles, he still did it for her.
It turned out that some people were not completely heartless, but they simply had met no one who could make them beat again.
At this moment, Eighth walked over angrily. “Boss told us to complete our mission first and leave him behind for now.”
“Let’s go then.” Dumei couldn’t wait to leave this place. She wanted to take a good breath and leave as soon as possible.
“Don’t worry, Dumei. I think that girl doesn’t know that the boss is interested in her.”
Dumei smiled bitterly. Was this called ‘one man’s treasure is another man’s trash’? The man she wanted meant nothing to someone else?
“This is an opportunity, Dumei, an important opportunity! Maybe she won’t like the boss. You can still work hard for it. How do you know if you don’t try? All these years, you’ve only quietly accompanied him and never expressed your feelings.. You might regret it in the future…”
