CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 506: RELEASING THE TIGER BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN

Zhang Lu grabbed the phone, speaking harshly: "Qi Kexin, where are you?"

"I’m where you can see me, so there’s no point in hiding anymore. You release my father, and if you’re capable enough to capture us, it means you’re really skilled, we’ll accept our defeat, and from now on we won’t pose a threat to you. If we luckily escape, then it’s just your own incompetence." Qi Kexin replied, ignoring Zhang Lu’s dissatisfaction: "How about this proposal? It seems acceptable in your plan, right? I don’t dare to personally come pick him up, that would be walking right into a trap, and I understand that, I’m sure you do too, right?"

Zhang Lu wasn’t surprised by Qi Kexin’s words, it was indeed within her expectations.

"I need to confirm your position first." Zhang Lu impatiently said: "If I can’t see you in person, I won’t release anyone. And by the way, capturing Hong Mei wouldn’t be out of the question either. My patience is limited, don’t try to play any tricks on me."

"I’m at your six o’clock direction, on the hill 1,500 meters away. You can see me with binoculars." Qi Kexin straightforwardly replied: "This distance is about the safest I can maintain, I don’t dare get any closer. You have not only snipers but also a lot of experts on your side, I don’t want to die without even knowing why."

"I’ll give Qi Qinhu one minute to escape. During that time, I expect to keep seeing you, otherwise, before Qi Qinhu even reaches your so-called safe area, my people could rush in and kill him." Zhang Lu, through the binoculars, saw Qi Kexin’s figure and quietly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming her identity.

"Naturally." Qi Kexin agreed.

"Alright, let’s start now." Zhang Lu didn’t hesitate any further.

The handcuffs and foot shackles on Qi Qinhu were removed, then, Qi Qinhu and Hong Mei began their escape.

"Remember, you only have one minute. I hope you can run out of the bullet’s shooting range." Zhang Lu said.

Hong Mei and Qi Qinhu didn’t even have time to look back and speak, they ran forward with all their might, cursing they weren’t born with more legs.

"Once I gain my freedom, I’ll regroup and settle the score with you." Qi Qinhu was filled with immense hatred in his heart.

His current state was extremely embarrassed, like a prey being released by Zhang Lu to be hunted. He couldn’t accept such a fate, and naturally sought the right opportunity to eliminate all those who witnessed his embarrassing scene.

Time passed by second by second, and both Zhang Lu and Qi Kexin, along with Qi Qinhu and others, were all calculating.

"When Qi Qinhu and Qi Kexin are about to meet with only a little time apart, then we attack. During this interval, the father and daughter will meet and make effective arrangements, which will also take some time. This is our opportunity." Zhang Lu said to the others: "Only by holding back Qi Kexin as much as possible can we prevent her from planning to escape. This action must be an all-out operation, especially Qi Kexin and Qi Qinhu, neither can escape. Otherwise, not only will our efforts be in vain, but leaving such a big problem would be disastrous."

"Don’t worry, everything is under our control." Lin Bowen said confidently.

If it wasn’t for being too far apart, without a definite grasp on eliminating Qi Kexin, it wouldn’t be this troublesome.

"Emergency personnel have started taking action around the forest, sealing off all roads. They have no escape." Chi Qinyuan was also confident about this operation and wasn’t very concerned.

"Don’t underestimate them. The situation in the forest is complex and the terrain is rugged. Be sure to keep the target within our sight during the pursuit and eliminate any obstacles at all costs. Keep the killing intent relentlessly on Qi Qinhu and his daughter." Zhang Lu carefully instructed: "If any changes occur or if the target finds a weak spot, there’s a high chance they could break through the encirclement."

Zhang Lu, in tight preparation, glanced at Ye Fan and Qiu Wen leisurely sitting in the car, then focused all her attention on the target.

"Came for the show? What kind of people are these?" Chi Qinyuan glanced at Ye Fan in the car, mocking lightly.

"Can the sniper take out the target?" Zhang Lu contacted the sniper aiming at Qi Kexin through the earpiece.

"No, the enemy is clever, standing in a blind spot. From our direction, it’s impossible to effectively snipe." The sniper reported back.

"Find a suitable opportunity and timing, shoot on your own initiative. Once Qi Kexin moves, regardless of whether a minute has passed, just shoot without needing to ask for my instructions." Zhang Lu ordered.

Even if unable to kill Qi Kexin, injuring her would still be a considerable achievement.

"Yes." The sniper assured.

After arranging everything that needed to be arranged, Zhang Lu focused her gaze on the countdown clock.

10, 9, 8, 7...

The one-minute agreement was almost up.

Second by second, it swiftly passed.

When there were only five seconds left, the sniper’s gunfire rang out in succession.

Because at that moment, Qi Kexin moved, leaping from her exposed position into the grass, disappearing from sight. The sniper’s shots didn’t hurt Qi Kexin.

"Move in, keep Qi Qinhu pinned down." Zhang Lu immediately gave the command to attack.

Time wasn’t up yet, but Qi Kexin couldn’t hold back, and Zhang Lu acted promptly too.

"Yes." The well-equipped warriors responded with a powerful shout, then charged forward with murderous intent.

Chi Qinyuan and Lin Bowen led the charge out.

Within visible range, Qi Kexin’s people also emerged from the ambushed forest, numbering at least one hundred.

The battle erupted immediately, bullets breaking the silence.

"Boss, follow me." Hong Mei and Qi Qinhu leaped and moved through the jungle, with Hong Mei leading the way and running rapidly.

"Cut the chatter, let’s first escape the enemy’s sight." Qi Qinhu panted and said: "Is there a specific plan?"

"Miss has planned everything, you can rest assured, sir." Hong Mei replied.

"That’s good." Qi Qinhu grinned grimly.

With a meaningful look at Ye Fan and Qiu Wen, Zhang Lu then led the last few people to join the pursuit.

Ye Fan and Qiu Wen showed no intention of moving at all.

They seemed to just be here to watch.

In the car, they didn’t say a word or take any action.

This made those around Zhang Lu show extreme disdain.
