Soul Patch

Chapter 295

No matter how fast he drew his gun, it couldn't outrun a bullet.

So, the moment his bullet was fired, he fell to the ground.

There's no need to leave survivors with this kind of killer. You won't get anything out of them anyway.

The guards opened fire again, and countless bullets whistled toward him.

He hid behind the handcart, but the handcart was not bulletproof, and the bullet pierced through it and flew towards him.

Shortly after, he was shot multiple times and mechanically pulled the trigger with his pistol.

But his gun was already out of bullets.

His backpack was stuffed into a box under the trolley, and he no longer had the strength to reach it.

The guards were clearly prepared, wearing bulletproof vests. Only one of them was shot in the leg and was replaced by others.

By this point, even a fool would realize they'd been ambushed.

He lay on the carpet in the hotel corridor, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, murmuring: Yang Shanshan, her name.
Seeing that he had lost his fighting ability, the guards rushed forward, handcuffed him, and carried him out.

……

Inside the room, Yang Shanshan gave Wenjie a knowing smile.

"You were quite good at imitating X's speech just now!"

"What do you mean 'looks like'? This is retaliation..." Wenjie thought to himself.

Seeing that Wenjie's expression was off, Yang Shanshan stopped joking and said slowly, "Is things quieting down tonight? Self-destruction, sniping, assassination, they shouldn't come up with any other tricks, right?"

Wenjie looked at the special police officer who had just opened the door and asked, "Li Mingzhong, is Li Ju under protection?"

The guard, feeling like a third wheel, was about to pull the door open to leave when he heard the question. Without hesitation, he replied, "Of course, with layers of guards, not even a fly can get in."

Yang Shanshan stuck out her tongue and said dismissively, "They say this place is heavily guarded, but people still managed to climb over the wall and get in, didn't they?"

The guards were displeased, as this was seen as a questioning of their competence.

He curled his lip and said, "That's different. We set a trap and let him in on purpose."

Wenjie looked at the guards stepping out, then suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "I beg you to protect Li Ju at all costs."

Without him, the V for Vendetta assassination plan might have succeeded.

He dared not imagine the negative impression that would result if the assassination had succeeded... He really didn't want to think about it!
Therefore, he believed that the other side would not let the matter rest. Upon learning that they had been ambushed, they might launch a full-scale attack to vent their anger at their defeat.

……

Hotel rooms on the north side of Zhongjie Road.

Mike frantically flung open John's door.

I saw John sitting silently by the window, gazing absently at the bustling street scene.

It seems he learned of the plan first, and the operation failed.

Two of the three assassins were ambushed while crossing the police cordon.

The assassin hiding in Li Mingzhong's trunk, though he crossed the police line, was ambushed at the hotel.

Mike, as the patch carrier, knew perfectly well that the last mission had failed.

It was because of their previous failure that they meticulously planned this mission, returning to 2009 and restarting the mission.

Having learned from their first experience, they were more cautious and made more thorough plans this time.

It would have been impossible to fail if there hadn't been a traitor.

John didn't react when he heard the door open and someone come in.

He was still staring blankly out the window. The windowpane reflected the handsome face of a white man.

He was just trying to figure out who the traitor was: Lisa, Lucy, Jon, or Zhao Jingshu...

Several names flashed before his eyes. He glanced at Mike through the window and said in a low voice, "Who do you suspect is the traitor? Li Mingzhong?"

Mike's eyes narrowed sharply, and he nodded thoughtfully: "At first, I suspected Professor Zhao Jingshu because she spearheaded the entire mission and was the one who led its progress..."

What to lead? What to advance... John Alarm Clock was filled with doubt. As an NPC, he didn't understand what Mike meant.

This is John, a rookie ten years ago, ready to make a name for himself and prove himself to the organization.

Upon learning of the mission's failure, all three lines of attack—self-destruction, sniping, and assassination—were destroyed by the enemy's defensive system.

His dejected and disheartened appearance was exactly the same as it was today.

Mike stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's get out of here, or we'll be unable to appear on camera again if our whereabouts are found out."

The plan stipulated that regardless of whether the assassination attempt succeeded, they would have to evacuate within a specified time.

Upon hearing Mike's words, John angrily slammed down the phone he was holding.

"Is it Li Mingzhong? The one I introduced to the organization? I'm asking you a question. Answer me!"

He stepped forward, grabbed Mike by the collar, and started yelling at him.

"90% of the time, he was the only one who knew every detail of the operation. If he wanted to tamper with it, it would be very easy for him."

Mike hung his head and said weakly.

Is it even meaningful to talk about this now?

The system will not restart the mission because their assassination attempt failed.

Because the system mission involves a girl named Yang Shanshan, if she dies, the mission will fail, and they will be forced to return to the point in time when they entered the system mission.

Task restarted.

At this thought, his eyes suddenly lit up: That's right, the assassination mission failed and the system mission cannot be restarted, so let's find a way to restart the system mission!
He excitedly raised his head, stared blankly at John for a moment, and roared, "I have a plan! Go kill that Yang Shanshan!"

"Yang Shanshan? The woman who was with that boy named Wenjie?" John, unsure of Mike's thoughts, looked blank and asked, "What kind of official is Yang Shanshan?"

Mike didn't have time to explain; he grabbed John and rushed outside.

“We…” John was about to discuss it with the people entering the country, but then he realized that what good would it do to discuss it?
The suicide bombers have all gone to meet God; I suppose their deeds in life will send them to hell.

Only Lisa entered the country; Lucy and Jon were both online providing support.

Lucy even handed over the command of several V for Vendetta members under her responsibility to John and Mike.

This is an immense trust in them!

Unfortunately, they betrayed this trust; all ten assassins perished.

Lisa is a girl, and the system assigned her the identity of a foreign media reporter upon entry, making her unsuitable to participate in the murder.

Thinking of this, John shut his mouth.

He looked at Mike, who was beaming with excitement, and said in a deep voice, "Mike, now it's just you and me. You mean after we kill Yang Shanshan, we'll go and assassinate X, right?"

Mike had an expression that said, "I can't explain this to you, can you please stop talking?" This expression, in John's eyes, was extremely impatient.

Indeed, I was impatient. Why do you have so many questions about an NPC?
“Mike, do you think I’m useless? I messed up the whole plan. I killed the ten assassins Lucy entrusted to me,” John said dejectedly.

I have to say, John, you're still too young and impatient! What kind of place is this, talking nonsense here...

Mike quickly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Shut up!"

Brother Chao was a little confused; he had actually forgotten to write the chapter title. How many words were left to reach 100,000?
