Chapter 905: Chapter 903: Someone Wants to Kill Master Xi
Mu Chengxi sat on the plane to P City, his complexion somber. Since boarding, he had not uttered a single word, his gaze fixed intently on the laptop before him, fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
Sitting on the other side, Mu Bei and Mu Dong exchanged glances. They had never seen Mu Chengxi like this. They knew that Miss Wen’s disappearance had completely driven Mu Chengxi out of his senses.
It was after an indeterminate amount of time that Mu Chengxi finally shifted his gaze away from the computer. He lifted a hand to undo the topmost button of his shirt.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If one observed carefully, one could see his well-defined large hands were slightly trembling.
Coming out of the airport, the cool breeze filled his opened collar, and Mu Chengxi realized his body was covered in cold sweat.
Before, he hadn’t had the time to consider his own condition. The only thought in his head was that Wen Xin had vanished.
Such a thought made his entire body stiff, his breathing became tight, and he felt as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
Just then, a car stopped in front of Mu Chengxi. A figure in black got out, opening the car door for Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi bent over to get into the car, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, making him look fierce and ferocious.
Once in the car, Mu Chengxi spoke in a cold, expressionless voice, “Have all the people from Organization M arrived? What about Muxi and Mu Nan’s people?”
“Everyone has arrived.” Mu Dong, seeing Mu Chengxi’s grim expression, couldn’t utter an extra word.
Hearing that everyone had arrived in P City, Mu Chengxi merely responded with a faint acknowledgement before closing his eyes, sitting in the car without saying a word.
The people in the car silently watched Mu Chengxi, bearing the low pressure inside the vehicle.
Mu Bei stealthily glanced at Mu Chengxi. Having followed him the longest, he had never seen Mu Chengxi with such an expression—not even when killing.
The car came down from the overpass, the front turning in another direction, entering a small road leading to Mu Chengxi’s base in P City.
All at once, Mu Chengxi’s eyes snapped open, looking out of the window. No one knew what he was thinking as he took a lighter from his pocket. He didn’t flick it on, but simply toyed with it in his hand.
At that moment, a sharp and piercing sound came from outside; the glass of the window beside Mu Bei shattered into pieces, scattering throughout the car.
The car’s glass was top-grade bulletproof, and no one had expected a single shot to shatter it, indicating that their opponents were fully prepared this time.
Without a second thought, Mu Bei turned to shield Mu Chengxi, half-standing to cover Mu Chengxi completely behind him.
In such a moment, Mu Chengxi instinctively leaned his head back, pressing his body against the back of the seat.
The next second, another bullet shot through, piercing Mu Bei’s shoulder and hurtling toward Mu Chengxi’s head before lodging in the car door.
The tension in the car escalated as everyone searched for suitable weapons to counterattack.
After the two shots, they were certain they were up against a powerful sniper rifle targeting Mu Chengxi’s head.
At that moment, the car’s tires were hit by another shot. Thankfully the vehicle was equipped with bulletproof protection for travel, preventing a blowout for a short period, but it wouldn’t last long.
The driver floored the accelerator, driving the car as if it was about to take flight…
Because the driver’s skills were exceptional, the person preparing to snipe couldn’t seize the opportunity…
Mo Xuan gripped the gun tightly in his hand, looking at Mu Chengxi anxiously, and spoke with a doubtful tone, his voice no longer in its normal cadence.
“What’s going on? Could someone be trying to kill our boss?”
No one answered Mo Xuan’s question; the inside of the car fell silent.
Mu Bei maintained the same position, shielding Mu Chengxi with his body, until the car had gotten some distance away. Then he turned around to look at Mu Chengxi.
“Master Xi, are you alright?”
Mu Chengxi was unharmed, his gaze just coldly staring at the bullet lodged in the car door, his eyes filled with a violent intent, giving off an overall very minute smile.
It took a few seconds for Mu Chengxi to reply coldly, “I’m fine.”
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s response, Mu Bei slowly exhaled a breath of relief. His previously tense body gradually relaxed, slumping back into his original position, pressing his uninjured hand on his shoulder where sticky fresh blood oozed out between his fingers, causing him to sharply inhale from the pain.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Mu Dong quickly put down his weapon and turned to look at Mu Bei. Seeing that Mu Bei was only injured in the shoulder and the injury wasn’t fatal, he relaxed.
Noticing Mu Dong’s anxious look, Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at Mu Bei, his already cold face becoming even colder upon seeing the injury on his shoulder.
Once Mu Dong was sure that Mu Bei’s life wasn’t in danger, he turned his head towards Mu Chengxi, “Master Xi, it seems like someone has been lying in wait for us to walk right into their trap.”
Miss Wen was taken away by Luo Qiete, and it was certain that Mu Chengxi would come after her immediately, so it was within reason that these people were waiting on the road as well.
However, they hadn’t anticipated that Luo Qiete had planned out this event so thoroughly. Did he truly not fear Mu Chengxi would just turn his stronghold upside down?
Mu Chengxi’s gaze dropped, and he seemed lost in thought. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly, “Since they’re well-prepared, how could we not make an effort as well?”
Just then, Mu Chengxi slowly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot. At that moment, he resembled a ruthless judge who had emerged from hell, radiating malice as if he were about to drag all those people down to hell with him in the next second.
Mu Dong, observing Mu Chengxi’s ferocious demeanor, felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He had already considered that Mu Chengxi wouldn’t let Luo Qiete and his influence in P City go unpunished on his way here.
But now, seeing Mu Chengxi like this, he realized he had thought too simply; this time, Mu Chengxi would not let go easily.
Just then, suddenly a car charged from the other side, its window rolling down, and the barrel of a sniper rifle protruded from within.
“Master Xi…”
Mu Dong felt he reacted quickly, but the enemy’s bullet seemed faster.
Mu Chengxi swiftly ducked, but the bullet still grazed his arm, shooting directly into his seat.
“Drive faster!” Seeing the scene unfold, Mu Dong yelled again, “Speed up and lose them!”
Without any time for further thought, the driver floored the accelerator, increasing the car’s speed…
The car sped away, with the pursuing vehicle still relentlessly chasing them, the sound of a barrage of bullets following close behind.
