Chapter 51: Action

Jin Yang was stunned for a moment before he pulled the bedsheet to cover up Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong fiddled with her messy hair. From the corner of her eye, she saw Jin Yang buttoning up the top few buttons of his shirt. His actions were suave and charming.

Shao An sized them up with a complicated gaze. He was clearly conjuring up some intense and amorous images.

Qiu Tong coughed lightly and tried to explain, but was interrupted by the person beside her…

Jin Yang coldly glanced at Shao An. “Speak.”

Shao An was stunned. He looked away and respectfully lowered his eyes. He held the document with both hands. “All the military forces that can be deployed around the residential building and the two sides of the street are already stationed there. They can attack terrorists at any time…”

“As for the underground boxing arena, it’s been taken care of on the grounds that it has already been closed down. There’s no controversy or suspicion at the moment.”

Jin Yang nodded, flipping through the documents with his slender fingers.

Qiu Tong leaned over curiously and pressed her body against his arm.

A milky fragrance wafted into Jin Yang’s nose, causing his breathing to halt for a moment. He subconsciously pushed the map in front of her so that she could look at it.

Qiu Tong quickly memorized the information and connected the clues together. She finally understood why he had gone to the underground boxing arena to watch the matches that day.

Below the boxing arena was a human trafficking den, which was closely linked to terrorists!

Jin Yang’s throat tightened and he said in a hoarse voice, “Gather all the elite soldiers at the exit. We will take action at the predetermined time tonight…”

After he said that, he looked at Shao An who was still standing at the door and narrowed his eyes impatiently. “Is there anything else?”

Shao An hurriedly shook his head and turned around, before walking off with stiff steps, closing the bedroom door.

In the confined space, both of them felt somewhat awkward.

Qiu Tong picked up the pillow that had been thrown onto the floor and looked at his furrowed brows. The side profile of his thin lips looked somewhat bewildered and adorable. She asked curiously, “You had a nightmare last night, remember? I think you were looking for someone.”

Jin Yang’s profound eyes were slightly closed and his mind was blank. “I don’t remember.”

Qiu Tong shrugged and stopped asking.

…

Late at night, Jin Yang sat in a heavily armored SUV and parked in an alley two streets away from the underground boxing arena.

Qiu Tong examined the weapons and equipment. She deftly wrapped her hands with hand wraps.

Jin Yang passed a bulletproof vest to her and said with an unfathomable expression, “These terrorists are very vicious. If you encounter danger, hide at the back. Remember, safety first.”

Qiu Tong placed the bulletproof vest over his body and chuckled valiantly. “My mission is to protect you. Don’t worry! I am lucky and won’t die!”

She seemed to have an innate self-confidence that was dazzling and captivating.

Jin Yang recalled the vague female voice he heard when he was shot. He held her wrist and asked, “You…”

Was she a successful product of the human modification plan?

He did not say this out loud. Shao An stood in front of the vehicle and knocked lightly on the glass window. He informed Jin Yang via the communication system.

“It’s time, Chief.”

Jin Yang retracted his gaze and took a deep breath before pushing the car door open. “Move out.”

He issued an order and all the armed soldiers rushed into the first level of the basement in the corner of the street. Apart from some broken tables and chairs, there were only a few human traffickers who tried to resist. The soldiers easily surrounded and controlled them, before making their way into the floor below.

The few electric lights in the stairwell flickered. An old fan creaked.

Qiu Tong followed Jin Yang closely, protecting him.

Shao An held his gun and pushed open the door with his left hand. Instantly, countless people rushed out from inside…

They used their bodies as shields, both young and old. Their eyes were empty but filled with fear as they advanced. The soldiers were stunned for a moment. They took out their guns and prepared to fire indiscriminately.

Jin Yang’s eyes were locked on them. He could sense that this group of commoners were not equipped with weapons and were being used by others!

He immediately shouted, “Halt all fire! Protect the civilians!”

In the next second, an old man with tattered clothes and white hair staggered forward at Jin Yang.

He opened his hands and was about to touch the corner of Jin Yang’s clothes. He muttered in terror, “Save me! Sir, save me…”

Did he know Jin Yang?

Qiu Tong heard a strange beeping sound from the old man!

Something was amiss!

She lowered her eyes and saw the red numbers and wires on his waist. She quickly pushed the old man away and shouted, “Be careful! There’s a bomb! Stay away from them!”

Thanks to her warning, all the soldiers became vigilant and restrained the wandering civilians.

Qiu Tong immediately pounced towards Jin Yang, protecting him with her body and using her arms to shield his head…
