Chapter 561: Seen by You

Wang Yang nodded and believed him for the time being. "What are you going to do next?" He looked down at his watch, time was running out.

"I...I want to cooperate with you. Only you can protect me." James lowered his head guiltily. He knew that his intelligence might not be enough to save his life, but he still wanted to take a gamble because he had no other choice.

Wang Yang was silent for two seconds and responded softly.

"You agree?!" James was overjoyed. He thought Wang Yang would refuse and was even prepared to kidnap Sun Meng and run away.

"What else can I do if I don't agree?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes. To him, it didn't matter whether they agreed or not. The key was that the two of them must escape as soon as possible. Saving their lives was the top priority.

"Then what about her? What about the people behind the scenes who want to harm you?" James was at a loss for a moment. He looked at Wang Yang, as if waiting for an answer.

"Let's get out first. I know who wants to harm me." Wang Yang looked at James and muttered to himself, how could this once fierce tiger become so cowardly and reckless now?

"Yes, let's leave first, this way." James pulled Wang Yang and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Sun Meng on the ground moved, which scared them.

"I'll go first, you cover us." Wang Yang glanced at Sun Meng and ran in the direction James pointed. He couldn't bear to do anything to a little girl, so he could only let James handle it.

"You..." James was speechless as he watched Wang Yang run away. He had to follow his arrangements.

After dealing with everything in the house, James also escaped along the same route.

"Is this the road you're looking for?" Wang Yang hugged a big tree, swaying and feeling like he was about to collapse. Fortunately, James was quick to steady him.

"Although it's a bit difficult to walk, it's the safest way. The big trees are our natural barrier. Even if they find us, it's hard for them to attack. Don't worry, I have experience. After all, I used to be a mercenary." Wang Yang was hanging on the tree, neither up nor down. Of course he knew James' past, but he himself had no such experience.

At this moment, he regretted listening to James. If he had known this, he should have stayed in the room and waited for Liu Yue to rescue him. Then again, why haven't Liu Yue and the others arrived yet?
"Let's go quickly. If the man in the room wakes up, it will be difficult for us to escape. I heard that he is cruel and his men rarely last more than an hour. In your condition, I estimate that you will be in danger in ten minutes."

"What's my condition? If it weren't for me, you'd still be crying over there. And you're hanging for ten minutes? I don't think you can hold on for much longer." The two of them kept bickering while hanging on the tree. Wang Yang, in particular, was furious when he saw James moving easily between the trees.

"Can't you wait for me? How can I compare with you with my small body? You asked me to protect you, but I'm about to fall!" Wang Yang no longer cared about his image and started cursing at James' back.

"Forget it, I'll carry you." James turned back helplessly and pointed at his back.

"Why didn't you say it earlier..." Wang Yang didn't say anything else and climbed onto James' back swiftly.

During this climb, he realized how powerful the special forces are. James, carrying his 150-pound "bag", moved freely in the jungle without even taking a breath.

Wang Yang hugged James tightly like a koala, but he was thinking about something else in his mind: "It would be nice if I could recruit this guy for my own use."

……

"What? We have to report to them when we are investigating our missing persons on our territory? How can this be justified?" Liu Dalong was so angry that he almost jumped up. He really couldn't understand why he needed the villagers' consent before entering when this was clearly China's territory.

"Calm down first. This village is inhabited by ethnic minorities. They haven't broken any law, so we can't just interfere. And there is a clan leader in the village. We can only negotiate with him. If he doesn't agree, we really can't go in."

"What kind of broken rule is this! I've never seen such an arrogant local tyrant! How do you manage them to be so arrogant here!" Liu Dalong was furious. He clearly followed the car to the vicinity, but the car disappeared into the jungle. Now he wanted to go in to look for the person, but was stopped and given such a ridiculous reason.

"General Liu, time is running out. I don't know how the boss is doing now. What do you think we should do?" the subordinate asked anxiously.

Liu Dalong was very angry and hung up the phone with a bang. When he called again, there was a busy tone.

"I'm so angry! These guys are just eating for free! Don't worry, I'll think of a solution." Liu Dalong scratched his head, at a loss.

"How about we sneak in and take a look at the situation first? I'm really worried." Liu Yue looked at the monitor in her hand. Wang Yang's watch didn't move and stayed at that place. She was worried that something might happen to Wang Yang.

"It seems that this is the only way. I will go get ready, you wait for us at the door."

"No, I want to go with you!" Liu Yue was unwilling to miss such an action. After all, she had special skills that might come in handy.

"Absolutely not! How can a little girl like you sneak into the woods like us men? We don't know what's going on inside. If I hurt you, how can I explain to Wang Yang?" Liu Dalong said firmly, not allowing for negotiation. Even a sixty-year-old man put on a bulletproof vest and prepared to sneak in with a team.

"Chief, we have detected an unidentified object moving in the nearby bushes. It is quite large and according to infrared scanning, it weighs more than 350 kilograms. Please give us your instructions," the subordinate reported.

Liu Dalong listened with a frown.

"Have you figured out what it is? How come no one has noticed such a big creature living in the bushes?" Liu Dalong stopped and wanted to figure out what it was before going in. If it was a wild animal, he would have to prepare guns and ammunition, otherwise he would be easily injured.

"The movement speed is quite similar to that of a human. Could it be some kind of gorilla? It seems to be carrying something on its back. Can you see clearly what it is?" Liu Dalong stared at the screen on the computer, but couldn't make out anything.

"Commander, please look at the latest picture." Another real-time picture came from the computer. It was clearer than before, but still not clear.

Liu Yue also came over and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

"It looked like one person was carrying another on their back, a bit like a gorilla, but I'm pretty sure it was two people!"

"Are you sure? I can't tell they look like two different people."

"It's normal that you can't see it because you're old..." Liu Yue blurted out, and it was too late to take it back.

She turned around and saw Liu Dalong staring at her.

"You little girl, when I was leading the troops to fight, my bullets would never miss the target within a hundred meters. How dare you say that my eyesight is blurry!"

"But what happened to you back then was 40 or 50 years ago. It's normal that you can't see clearly when you are old. You have to learn to accept your age. Besides, you are much better off than people of the same age now..." The more Liu Yue spoke, the more she felt something was wrong. This was not what she wanted to express, but when she said it, people misunderstood her.

"It seems like you've really been with Wang Yang for a long time." Liu Dalong turned his head away and ignored her. "What do you mean by that? Even if I haven't been with the boss for a long time, you'd still be like this."

"You! You'd better shut up! I don't want to hear you talk now."

Liu Dalong put the gun tightly on his waist, dressed neatly and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute! Look at this picture, why does this person look so familiar to me!" The picture was enlarged again, and the clarity was improved a lot. Liu Yue noticed that the person on the back of the big guy was wearing clothes very similar to Wang Yang's in the morning. She was not sure, so she took another closer look.

"That's right, it's our boss! But who is the person carrying him? He doesn't look Chinese." Liu Yue's words made Liu Dalong turn around.

"Are you sure this is Wang Yang? Don't make a mistake..." Liu Dalong was a little doubtful.

"I'm only in my twenties, how could I be wrong? I'm not..." Liu Yue stopped herself in time and didn't say the next word.

Liu Dalong's face didn't look very good, but fortunately he didn't hear the rest of the words, so he didn't care about it anymore.

"Hurry up and check where this location is. We'll know if it's there if we go over and take a look."

"Reporting to the commander, he is in the woods by the river not far from us, about 500 meters away. Do you want to arrange someone to pick him up?" the subordinate asked.

"Take two people with me to take a look. Be careful not to alert the enemy. You guys continue to do what you need to do here." Liu Dalong said, and he set off with two soldiers under the cover of everyone.

It is not easy to travel through the jungle over a distance of 500 meters, especially since the mosquitoes here are as big as birds.

"Go at full speed and report their position. In which direction are they heading towards us?" Liu Dalong controlled the moving position of the unidentified object in real time. The distance between the two teams was getting closer and closer.

"Commander, the man is right in front of you, less than fifty meters away!" the subordinate reported.

Liu Dalong immediately took out the gun from his waist. He was not sure whether it was Wang Yang, so he had to be extra careful.

"Who's there? Put your hands up! If my gun goes off accidentally, don't blame me." Liu Dalong felt movement in the trees in front of him. He raised his fist with one hand, signaling the people behind him not to move, and slowly moved over.

Wang Yang lay on James' back, feeling like his internal organs were being shaken so much that he was about to vomit.

I felt quite comfortable at first, but soon I started to feel strongly uncomfortable.

"Why don't you let me down and rest for a while? My hands and feet hurt, and my stomach hurts." Wang Yang said.

"Hold on a little longer, we're almost out of their encirclement. We can't be careless now, or we'll be in trouble if we're discovered." James crawled forward using his hands and feet, and in a moment he rushed out more than ten meters. Wang Yang, who was hanging on his back, was in pain. He didn't envy the koala at all for being able to lie leisurely on the tree.

"It seems like there is someone nearby." James suddenly stopped, found a tree with dense branches and leaves and climbed up, preparing to climb to the highest point to take a look.

"Could they be Sun Meng's men? Did they find out that we have escaped? But they are chasing us too quickly." Wang Yang whispered in James' ear.

"You can speak normally." James' ears turned red from Wang Yang's breath.

"It shouldn't be them. The direction is wrong. They are coming from the opposite direction."

As a mercenary, James is very sensitive to directions, and he can accurately sense that these people are not from Sun Meng's side, and they look much more professional.

"They seem to be from a professional army. The leader is quite old, but has a lot of practical experience. They also stopped." James didn't see clearly who they were and could only judge by the voice.

"Could it be Liu Dalong?" Wang Yang suddenly remembered that there was no news about Liu Dalong. Logically, they should have arrived long ago. Could something have gone wrong?
James didn't answer, but watched the situation develop.

"Let's wait until they get closer. It's better to be careful now. I finally escaped and I don't want to be caught again." James was still very resistant to Liu Dalong. After all, it was Liu Dalong who sent him to prison.

"You're not afraid of him, are you..." Wang Yang said at an inappropriate time.

"Would I be afraid of him? If you hadn't pointed a gun at me, would I have been caught by him?" James looked unconvinced and became annoyed when he thought of the scene that night.

"Are you still blaming me? You have tried to assassinate me so many times in the past two years, and did I say anything? I just caught you once, and you actually said that!" The two of them started arguing on the tree, neither of them giving in.

"Come out, I've seen you. If you know what's good for you, come down quickly, otherwise my gun will have no eyes." While they were arguing, Liu Dalong had already locked onto their position and was standing under a tree looking up.

"It's all your fault!" Wang Yang complained.

"Okay, okay, blame me, it's all my fault." James said helplessly.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, James dragged Wang Yang down from the tree. As soon as they landed, four guns were pointed at them.

"Wang Yang, come here! Is he holding you hostage? Don't move! We have four guns. If you move, we will shoot you into pieces!" Liu Dalong gripped the pistol tightly, staring at the tall man in front of him. He would recognize him even if he turned into ashes.

"Everyone calm down. Guns don't have eyes." James grabbed Wang Yang's throat and threatened in front of everyone.

"Put down the gun, or else..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly pinched Wang Yang's neck, and the pinch became tighter and tighter. Wang Yang's face quickly turned red.

"Give up, you can't escape. The outside has been surrounded by the army. You'd better come back to the prison with me, otherwise you will be in trouble." Liu Dalong did not show any weakness. He has been guarding the border for many years and has seen all kinds of scenes. Now the situation is completely under his control. How could he give the initiative to others?

"I think you don't want to save him. You should know which is more important, his life or mine. I say it again, put down the gun and step back!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Dalong hurriedly ordered his men to slowly step back, while he stared at James closely.

"I advise you to let Wang Yang go. If he loses even a hair, I will make you live a life worse than death." Liu Dalong gritted his teeth and said. This man in front of him wasted too much of his manpower and material resources, and he actually let him escape. This made him lose face, and he had to catch him back quickly.

"I say it again! Back off!" James held Wang Yang hostage and slowly moved towards the edge of the jungle. As long as he could get out of the sight of these people, he had the confidence to escape.
