Chapter 386: Chapter 367: Encountering Mercenaries Again
PM, Tianshui City First Hospital, Inpatient Department
Jiang Shangchen’s hospital room was suddenly opened, and two burly men pushed a movable bed out of it.
Jiang Shangchen, still unconscious, lay on the hospital bed.
Accompanying the bed on both sides were more than a dozen men in suits, causing people around them to frequently glance over.
Jiang Shangchen’s daughter, Jiang Xiaowen, anxiously clung to the bed, with Lin Yi standing calmly behind her.
Qi Gang stood across from them.
A nurse sensed something wrong and wanted to inquire, but the doctor who had previously pushed the bed in called the nurse aside to explain:
"These are the patient’s family members. They’ve already completed the discharge procedures, ..."
The group of more than ten people, along with the movable bed, stopped at the elevator.
The surrounding patients and family members were so intimidated by the scene that they could only watch from afar, and some who wanted to use the elevator didn’t dare approach.
"Ding!"
As the elevator doors suddenly opened, a burly man stepped inside and yanked the people out:
"All get out. You’ll have to wait for the next ride."
Then he roughly pushed all the people inside out:
"Who do you think you are, acting so high-handedly, I..."
A man pulled out by the burly man looked annoyed and angry, but upon seeing the group of strong men after stepping out of the elevator, he quickly shut his mouth in fear.
Once the burly man cleared the elevator, the group pushed the movable bed into it.
Lin Yi looked at Jiang Xiaowen, who kept her head down, biting her lip:
"Are you very nervous?"
Jiang Xiaowen looked up at Lin Yi, then shook her head:
"As long as my dad is okay, I’d even trade my life for it."
Seeing this, Lin Yi stopped talking. Soon, the elevator reached the basement parking lot.
At this point, an ambulance had already been waiting, and Qi Gang instructed them to transfer Jiang Shangchen onto the vehicle.
Lin Yi got into the car and then said to Jiang Xiaowen:
"Come sit next to me."
However, Jiang Xiaowen did not listen to Lin Yi and instead sat across from him.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile slightly, not minding it.
At this moment, Qi Gang said to the driver:
"Drive!"
...
In an extravagantly luxurious hotel suite, Qiao Yun was sitting by a massive floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the dazzling neon cityscape.
She gently swirled the wine in her glass, looking at the touch of red inside, her beautiful eyes filled with a dazed intoxication.
Suddenly, the telephone beside her rang, and Qiao Yun picked it up, saying:
"Speak."
A voice came from the other end of the line:
"The target has departed, everything is normal."
A gleam flashed in Qiao Yun’s eyes as she said:
"Great!"
After hanging up the phone, she slightly smiled, talking to herself with a confident air:
"Madman, you didn’t disappoint me."
...
Meanwhile, an ambulance bearing an emergency rescue sign was speeding along the highway.
Following behind the ambulance were several black sedans, trailing at a steady pace.
Over an hour later, the vehicles appeared on a country road far removed from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Perhaps due to the remote nature of the road, or because it was late at night, the vehicles traveled for more than ten minutes without encountering a single soul.
Sitting in the front passenger seat of the ambulance, Qi Gang suddenly spoke:
"Stop here."
Driver:
"Alright."
As the vehicle slowly pulled to the side, the following sedan also came to a halt.
Qi Gang said to Lin Yi in the back:
"We’ve arrived."
Lin Yi nodded and then said to Jiang Xiaowen:
"Wait here in the car for me for a moment."
Jiang Xiaowen seemed to anticipate something, looking worriedly at Lin Yi, she said:
"Be careful."
Lin Yi gave a slight smile in response.
He then jumped out of the ambulance, closing the door softly behind him:
"Bang!"
There were some things Lin Yi didn’t want this innocent girl to see.
Qi Gang also approached and said to Lin Yi:
"I’ll leave the rest to you."
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the road.
However, due to the person’s head being lowered, their appearance was unclear.
When Lin Yi saw this person, he was taken aback: A superpower user?!
At this moment, in Lin Yi’s perception, the energy contained within this individual’s body was far more immense and pure than the energy in He Hai’s body in Binhai City.
This was the second human, besides He Hai, carrying superpower (anomalous energy) that Lin Yi had encountered in reality.
Just then, the person looked up, allowing Lin Yi to finally see their face: A Caucasian man!
Lin Yi muttered with some realization:
"So this is their trump card."
If Lin Yi didn’t also possess superpowers, this one person alone would be enough to kill him a hundred, if not hundreds, of times.
Qi Gang, standing to the side, explained:
"This man is nicknamed ’Wolf King’, an S-Class mercenary from the United States. It’s said that he’s invulnerable to weapons, incredibly fast, and has never been defeated, you..."
But before Qi Gang could finish speaking, the Caucasian man had already vanished in front of the car’s headlights.
The next moment, Qi Gang felt a fierce breeze pass by his head:
"Bang!"
A startled Qi Gang backed away in horror.
At that moment, he suddenly realized he had just brushed past the Ghost Gate.
Because the Caucasian man’s fist was hovering just a short distance from his forehead.
If Lin Yi hadn’t suddenly intervened and grabbed the Caucasian man’s wrist, his head might have been split open by now.
Qi Gang swallowed hard, then, as if realizing something, creased his face in anger and said:
"That woman even wants to kill me too, so ruthless!"
Meanwhile, Lin Yi, upon grabbing the enemy’s wrist, noticed a surprised expression on the Caucasian man’s face. Then, in awkward Chinese, he said:
"Not bad, again."
But only for an instant. The Caucasian man didn’t hesitate; with his right wrist controlled by Lin Yi, he immediately punched at Lin Yi’s face with his left hand, moving as fast as lightning.
At this moment, a bloodthirsty expression also appeared on the Caucasian man’s face, as if he was sure of success with this strike.
However, to Lin Yi, this seemingly inevitable strike was nothing at all.
As the opponent attacked, Lin Yi deftly flipped the shocked Caucasian man over his shoulder, swung him around, and then slammed him hard to the ground:
"Boom!" came a dull sound as a small pit appeared on the asphalt road.
A moment before, the Caucasian man had been arrogant, but now he was curled up on the ground in pain, groaning.
The whole scene happened in the blink of an eye.
Qi Gang knew Lin Yi was powerful, but he hadn’t imagined that even a renowned S-Class mercenary could be rendered helpless, like a baby, in Lin Yi’s hands.
Qi Gang, watching Lin Yi’s back, instinctively wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought to himself: Is this even human?
Just as Qi Gang thought everything was over, a glinting flash cut through the night:
"Pfft!"
Lin Yi spun around in surprise, only to see one of Qi Gang’s subordinates fall with a pained expression.
However, Lin Yi didn’t even catch a glimpse of the assailant; he only saw a shadow disappear into the surrounding darkness.
Qi Gang, witnessing this, shivered and said:
"What was that?"
The remaining subordinates displayed panicked expressions:
"There’s a, a, a... ghost."
At that moment, Lin Yi seemed to sense something, instantly appearing behind one of Qi Gang’s men. The next moment, a samurai sword appeared above Lin Yi’s head, allowing him to see the attacker’s appearance, and he said with uncertainty:
"Is that... a ninja?"
