Chapter 925: The Scorpion Surfaced
“Kuang Mountain has an abundance of raw material. It’s very suitable for the production of large-scale firearms and ammunition. The terrain there is so steep and dangerous that even the locals rarely enter. It’s quite a recluse spot and the best place to hide. Moreover, our informant had provided us with a valuable clue. I have every reason to suspect that it is the Scorpion’s nest.”
With that, Ah Chen opened the map on his tablet and said, “Miss, we have set our target here.”
“Okay,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “Is the private jet ready?”
“Yes, it is. It’s ready for take-off. The additional manpower that the Young Master prepared is rushing to Kuang Mountain. We will meet up there.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
Kuang Mountain, Tibet.
Leng Zhiyuan arrived at a dense forest where everyone gathered. “Miss, we explored for four hours already, but the place doesn’t seem to have an entrance here.”
No entrance?
Leng Zhiyuan looked around. There must be an entrance, it’s just not yet found.
There laid a few mountains ahead. Leng Zhiyuan examined the arrangement of the mountains and said to Ah Chen, “Get some gunpowder and blow up the mountain that’s before us.”
“Yes.”
Boom! The mountain in front of them was blown up. After the smoke had cleared, a pitch-black path appeared in the cave.
Ah Chen cheered, “Miss, how did you know that the entrance was in this mountain?”
Leng Zhiyuan started walking towards the cave. “These mountains were not formed naturally. They were man-made, according to the Eight Diagrams and Five Elements. So the mountain in the middle is the entrance.”
Ah Chen was impressed.
“Miss, we just threw a torch in. It’s dark inside, and there seems to be water.”
Water?
Tibet was known for its lack of water, and it was even more impossible for there to be water in the cave. Everything appeared to be out of the ordinary. But the more abnormal it was, the more it proved that she had come to the right place.
“Bring a torch! I’ll go first. Two-thirds of you will follow my lead. It must be dangerous inside, so everyone, be careful. Ah Chen, take the rest of the men and guard the forest exit. We need a sure catch this time.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Leng Zhiyuan held the torch in her hand and led her men into the cave.
There was indeed water in the cave. The further in they went, the deeper the water level became. It had already reached their knees, and the water was very cold. The surroundings were dead silent. There was a strange odor invaded the space.
Leng Zhiyuan suddenly came to a halt. She extended her arm and the torch lit up the space ahead. There was no path ahead because a gray castle stood in front of her.
They had arrived.
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed with a pleasant surprise. No wonder the nest of the Scorpions had not been discovered all these years. No one could have guessed that they had been hiding here.
“Everyone, be careful!” She warned alarmingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of bullets flew by. Many men in black appeared around them. They were attacking with the weapons in their hands.
The two sides quickly engaged in battle. It was very difficult to fight in the dark. It was hard to distinguish friend from foe just by the light granted by the torches. Leng Zhiyuan took care of a few people and ran towards the castle. She wanted to take care of the matter as quickly as possible.
No one could stop her. Doom! She pushed open the castle door.
Even though she had already guessed what was in the castle, she was still shocked at the sight of it. The castle was equipped with a set of high-tech equipment. The guns and ammunition that came out from the assembly line were neatly placed in the corner of the wall. The whole scene was very appalling.
Leng Zhiyuan had to admit that Scorpion was a psycho as well as a genius.
What a shame.
Several silver threads appeared in her hand. She ran forward and placed a time bomb in the center of the castle. She then ran out with the controller in her hand.
She wanted to blow up the place.
After she’s at a safe distance away from the bomb, she was going to press the time bomb. At this moment, an icy cold wind blew past her side. Someone was coming for her chest.
Leng Zhiyuan was highly alert. She dodged to the side. Just after she’d dodged, another long leg stretched out from the darkness. A black boot kicked her right knee precisely.
Leng Zhiyuan sweated from the pain. Who was this person? He acted quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. She’s no match for him.
Another dark shadow appeared and came straight for her head. Leng Zhiyuan aimed for his crotch. He dodged, and she quickly retreated to the corner. Before she could move, the dark shadow had already swum to her side. The shadow pressed a cold and sharp knife against her neck.
Leng Zhiyuan pressed her body against the wall and breathed heavily. At this moment, this person was right in front of her. He’s dressed in all black. The torches outside were probably soaked in the water and could not emit any light. She could not make out his face clearly.
A black cloth covered his face, leaving only an opening for the pair of eyes. Leng Zhiyuan looked at the pair of eyes. She felt that they were somewhat familiar.
Was it… him?
The man in black held a knife to her neck with one hand and held out his other hand in front of her.
Leng Zhiyuan understood what he meant. He wanted the controller in her hand.
She did not move. She did not give it to him.
At this moment, there was a pain in her neck. The sharp blade had slowly cut into her skin and pushed deeper into her neck. She even felt her warm blood against his cold blade.
Leng Zhiyuan’s face turned pale, but she slowly curled the corner of her lips.
She pressed the button with her index finger. Boom! The castle was destroyed.
The brilliant explosive sparks ignited in front of the two people. At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan could clearly see the person in front of her. It was a man. His eyes were filled with fierce hatred and coldness as he stared at her.
Leng Zhiyuan smiled at him. She had already destroyed the castle, his decades of hard work. Now, her life was in his hands. All he had to do was move the knife in his hand slightly.
Both of them were silent. At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan felt the pressure against her neck had disappeared. The knife was pulled away.
He won’t kill her?
Leng Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment. Then, a strong cold wind blew beside her. She held her bleeding neck and looked up. She saw a tall and upright figure fighting with the man in black.
It was Zhou Yao!
Leng Zhiyuan knew it was Zhou Yao simply from a glance. Why was he here?
She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her neck hurt so much, and it was still bleeding. She quickly tore a piece of cloth from her dress and bandaged the wound on her neck. She leaned against the wall and watched the fight.
The Red Flame soldiers had arrived. They broke through the wall and quickly engaged in fighting with men in black. This unit of soldiers, who had been trained on the battlefield and through bloodshed, quickly gained the upper hand.
Leng Zhiyuan was relieved. With the Red Flame soldiers here, she did not have to worry about sacrificing all of the Leng family’s soldiers.
This time, she barged into the lion’s den was prepared to face the worst. Now that the man in black had appeared, she was certain that he was Scorpion. Just now, when her life was on the edge of his blade, she thought that she was done and that the Leng family soldiers were done.
But Zhou Yao had arrived.
It doesn’t matter how he made it here, his arrival was like a warm breeze of life. She trusted him. He had always had the power to make people feel at ease.
