Chapter 166: Chapter 166: SoldierBang bang. The opponents all held weapons and surrounded the car, and one of them walked out and forcefully knocked on the window. Seeing this group of people appear, Lin Tong’s complexion instantly changed. On a deserted roadside at ten o’clock at night, a gang of people surrounding your car with guns, would you be afraid? Most people wouldn’t be able to remain calm in this situation. "Ye Xuan, hurry up! Step on the gas and drive away, and don’t you dare open the doors!" Lin Tong said urgently, trying to maintain her composure but the frantic look on her face betrayed her inner fear. Ye Xuan glanced outside at the group, then said, "Wife, do you think we can just drive away? They just need to shoot the tires out, and we won’t be able to go anywhere." "What should we do then? Let’s call the police." As Lin Tong said this, she reached for her phone to dial the police. Ye Xuan stopped her quickly, whispering, "Don’t act rashly! Before the police get here, our heads will already be blown off." His eyes flickered with an intense chill as he turned to Lin Tong and instructed, "Wife, stay in the car, no matter what happens outside, do not get out, did you hear me?" If his guess wasn’t wrong, there would be bloodshed tonight, and some might end up dead! Of course, the ones bleeding and dying wouldn’t be him. "You... are you going to get out?" Lin Tong’s expression changed. "Stay in the car, sweetheart. You can’t handle this kind of situation, leave it to me." Ye Xuan said sternly. Seeing Lin Tong’s anxious face, he joked with a smile, "Wife, how about we make a bet? If I come back safely tonight, you give me a kiss, how about that?" "You..." Lin Tong was frustrated, and at a time like this, he was still thinking about such frivolous things. Hmm? She suddenly thought of something. Facing the situation at hand, Ye Xuan could still joke around, which meant he wasn’t taking it seriously. Could it be that he really wasn’t afraid of anything? But these people all had guns! Haven’t you heard the saying, even the greatest martial artist fears a kitchen knife, let alone a gun? "Wife, don’t worry, with your husband here, I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you." With your husband here, I definitely won’t let anything happen to you! That phrase suddenly made Lin Tong feel a refreshing warmth. It seemed as long as this man was by her side, even if the sky fell, he would hold it up for her. "Wait for me for three minutes, I’ll definitely come back after three minutes." Ye Xuan gave Lin Tong a resolute look and whispered in her ear. Feeling the warmth from Ye Xuan’s mouth, Lin Tong’s heart suddenly calmed down. "Okay, I’ll wait for you." Lin Tong nodded earnestly. The sound of the door opening, the sound of it closing. After Ye Xuan got out of the car, he stood by the roadside and scanned the group. There were eight of them in total, all armed with real weapons, looking like robbers. However, the indifference and disregard in their expressions were different from ordinary robbers. This was a sign of being veterans of blood and fire, their identities were definitely not simple, at least not as they seemed. Ye Xuan looked calm and collected, grinned, and said, "Gentlemen, we need to get through here, could you please move your car a little and make it convenient for us?" Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, these people visibly stunned and exchanged glances. "Heh heh, we can’t make way, we were waiting for you," said one of the men, wearing a peaked cap, with a cold laugh. His voice was hoarse and his face was clearly made up as if he had deliberately dressed up. But Ye Xuan could still clearly see his face. This man had a bandit-like aura about him, but it was clearly feigned. Ye Xuan had clashed with mercenaries from abroad and was very familiar with their aura, which was thick with the scent of blood and dripping with a killing aura. The other party wore a bandit-like air, trying to conceal their own killing aura. Though they tried hard to cover it up, they couldn’t escape Ye Xuan’s observation! Moreover, the way these people moved together in sync, inadvertently displaying a coordination that betrayed them. The identities of these people were obvious; they were likely mercenaries. Even if they weren’t, they had likely spent time in the military, undergone formal military training, and killed more than a few. "Waiting for me?" Ye Xuan said in surprise, "We’ve never met before, why are you blocking my way here?" "We haven’t met, but you’ve provoked someone you shouldn’t have. So, someone wants you dead and sent us to take you out," the man in the duckbill hat said casually, as if killing a person was as trivial to him as killing a chicken or a dog. "What? You want to kill me under the broad daylight, under the heavens? Do you not respect the law? Don’t you believe I can call the police and have you arrested?" Ye Xuan feigned fear, but he was secretly assessing the situation around him. This national highway was desolate and it was night. He could be sure there would be no passersby. There were eight men, each armed with a gun, yet they posed no real threat to Ye Xuan; he could definitely deal with them quickly! However, what concerned him was the presence of several abandoned chemical plants nearby, positioned on high ground, an ideal spot for hiding a sniper. He didn’t know if there were others hiding, but Ye Xuan had a nagging feeling that someone was watching him from the shadows. This feeling wasn’t baseless; it resulted from his days on the battlefield, a cultivated instinct for danger, though in Ye Xuan’s case, it was particularly intense. "Haha, the law? Let me tell you, in Yan Country, we are the law!" "We want to kill you, and even the police can’t do anything about it." Seeing Ye Xuan’s cowardly face, the men around him burst into laughter. Their words were unrestrained. Ye Xuan’s gaze hardened, noting from their behavior that they seemed to fear no law of Yan Country. That meant these people likely weren’t foreign mercenaries, but belonged to the military of Yan Country. Only military personnel would not fear common laws, being only subject to military courts! "Are you Yan Country military?" Ye Xuan asked deliberately, his eyes tightly fixed on them, trying to read their expressions for an answer. "You are not worthy to know our identities. Just be aware that we’re here to take your life. It’s a privilege for you that we’re here personally to send you on your way," said the man in the duckbill hat, his demeanor unchanged, looking smugly down at Ye Xuan. "Then, can you tell me who wants me dead?" Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered as he asked. "Go ask King Yan when you’re in Hell," the man with the duckbill hat sneered with a cold laugh. "Is that so? Are you that confident you can kill me?" "Of course, who do you think you are? We could easily crush a common man like you." "Then I must say, you might be in for a disappointment this time." A cold, cruel smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s lips as a gleam passed through his eyes, "Moreover, I say tonight your entire unit will be wiped out, do you believe that?" "I don’t believe that." The man in the duckbill hat thought Ye Xuan was bluffing, waved his arm, and said coldly, "Boys, finish him off! Make it quick, the boss is waiting for us to report back." As his words fell, three of them raised their guns, the dark muzzles aimed at Ye Xuan, ready to pull the triggers. Whoosh! However, they soon discovered that Ye Xuan’s figure had vanished from where they were aiming. Seeing this, Lin Tong inside the car turned pale. Those were guns; if her husband got hit... She dared not think further.
