Huo Rou hung up the phone and got out of the car without hesitation.
According to her calculations, He Zhongwu and the others should be one or two turns behind the alley entrance. They must have run into Matthew!
As expected, He Zhongwu said through the earpiece, "Matthew is catching up!"
Matthew still had some capabilities. Huo Rou, with a grim expression, gripped the gun in her hand and walked towards the alley entrance.
She had surveyed the terrain of this alley. Even if they were discovered and chased, they wouldn't be able to capture them all. It was a strategically advantageous position, and He Zhongwu and the others had a good chance of protecting themselves.
Qin Ningyi, however, grabbed Huo Rou's arm, "Chen Li is still in the car."
"Wait for me."
He took the lead and entered the alley.
Huo Rou watched his retreating back from afar. She held her gun and moved the car closer.
An An's tracker seemed to be paused. The sounds of fighting gradually reached her ears.
Without Kurt, the people from country M couldn't even detect anything unusual about An An's equipment. Their decline had already become evident in these areas.
How did country M still believe it was a great nation like before?
She shook her head. Arrogance always leads to bitter consequences.
"Little Qin, quickly take An An and go first. We'll hold them here!" Seeing Qin Ningyi approach, He Zhongwu's first action was to put An An into his arms.
Qin Ningyi immediately drew his gun. Even though the opponent dodged quickly, he was hit in a vital spot.
This marksmanship made several burly men in front of Matthew take a few steps back. It was too terrifying. The person who was shot just now was the most perceptive among them. If even someone so agile was like that, what hope did they have?
Matthew didn't consider these questions. He had more men, so he didn't care, "Kill them for me!"
Qin Ningyi and He Zhongwu, using the terrain to their advantage, fought ten against one.
During the fight, the group gradually moved towards the alley entrance.
He Zhongwu heard the command in Huo Rou's earpiece, "Uncle He, I'm at the alley entrance. Bring An An here!"
He looked back at Qin Ningyi. This earpiece channel was open, so Qin Ningyi must have heard Huo Rou's instructions as well.
Should he leave?
Truth be told, he was the subordinate general, and Qin Ningyi was just an ordinary businessman. Saving people was, after all, his responsibility.
Qin Ningyi's subordinates moved faster, creating enough space and time for He Zhongwu.
Matthew's men were all blocked in the alley by Qin Ningyi and the remaining few.
The wind whistled through the streets and alleys. He Zhongwu heard the sounds behind him but dared not stop his footsteps.
Seeing He Zhongwu leaving with An An, Matthew's anger reached its peak.
"You're forcing me!" He gave a look to the person beside him.
He had spent a lot of time with the old man recently, and although it was mentally exhausting, he had accumulated many things.
A smoke bomb was thrown. He Zhongwu reacted promptly, his footsteps not faltering.
This was the kind of scenario they encountered in every training session. How could he be affected?
But the weight in his arms grew heavier, and his steps became unusually sluggish.
What was going on?
Seeing that it was effective, Matthew shouted, "Continue!"
He Zhongwu tried his best to speed up, but his feet felt like they were filled with lead. He was panting after just two steps.
Qin Ningyi naturally noticed He Zhongwu's condition. Matthew and his men were still poisoned!
Just as Matthew was about to launch his next hidden weapon, Qin Ningyi's thin silk thread shot out, entangling Matthew's hand along with the weapon.
"Cheap trick," Qin Ningyi sneered.
Matthew, disregarding the lives of those throwing the hidden weapons, rushed towards the alley entrance with his men. Seeing that Matthew had no intention of saving his companions, Qin Ningyi gently pulled the silk thread. Blood splattered on the ground, but Matthew didn't look back.
He engaged them in a fight.
Matthew cared about nothing else.
His only objective was to capture An An. He had long accepted the possibility of several people dying in the process.
If he couldn't capture An An this time, he would surely not be able to return alive.
Those who fight for their lives are truly terrifying.
With numerous poisoned hidden weapons deployed, Matthew actually managed to approach He Zhongwu, who was staggering with An An in his arms.
After a fierce struggle, He Zhongwu finally succumbed to the effects of the drug and collapsed.
"Uncle He!"
