Chapter 453: Chapter 453
When Ding Fan snatched Simon away, the Sixth Guard Squad immediately relayed the news back to the command center, with the order being given at the time to ignore Simon's fate. If there was no possibility of recovering Li Shuo, they were to directly blow him up!
For The Stars and Stripes Country, even if they couldn't get the blueprints, they wouldn't let them fall into the hands of Huaxia Country.
That's why the scene of the missiles destroying the truck followed.
At that moment, in the satellite command center of The Stars and Stripes Country, a middle-aged man wearing a fedora hat was repeatedly scrutinizing the footage of the truck being destroyed by the missile.
"Captain Kabas, you've watched this footage at least dozens of times now, is there a problem?" At this time, a man dressed in military uniform, wearing the rank of a brigadier general, approached.
The man called Kabas still hadn't taken his eyes off the monitor. "I suspect that the Huaxia person who rescued Li Shuo had already left the truck when the missile attack occurred."
The brigadier general was taken aback. He walked up to Kabas's side.
The video on the monitor was captured by a spy satellite, with a resolution that could discern details within about two meters. Thus, the situation inside the truck was quite clear.
"Five seconds before the missile hit the truck, that person was still in it, Kabas, you don't think someone could escape from that truck within five seconds, do you?" the brigadier general pointed at the video's timestamp and said to Kabas.
"Nothing is impossible. In this world, there are many people and things beyond our understanding!" As Kabas said this, he pressed the pause button directly.
Then Kabas played the video at a slow speed, twenty times the normal rate.
At this moment, the silhouette that could faintly be seen in the truck's passenger seat suddenly disappeared before the missile hit the truck.
Kabas's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the video, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "No one can escape from my sight. No one..."
The brigadier general also saw the vanishing silhouette on the truck. His face became stern at this moment.
The ability to escape from the truck in less than five seconds after the missile hit was something that completely surpassed the brigadier general's understanding.
"What do we do now?" asked the brigadier general, glancing at Kabas beside him.
"The existence of this person is a threat to us... at all costs, we must investigate this person and then eliminate him!" Kabas stated calmly.
The brigadier general nodded. "At all costs, we must erase him!"...
The existence of Ding Fan had already brought a strong sense of oppression to both men. Therefore, at this moment, both had made up their minds with the greatest determination...
To eliminate at all costs!
Ding Fan bolted into the forest and ran wildly.
Ding Fan's mission this time was merely to scout the area, but what he hadn't expected was to have an epiphany amidst the crisis when surrounded by heavy troops, which suddenly advanced him to the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation.
It could be said that this was something completely unexpected.
After entering the deep mountains and making sure there were no pursuers, Ding Fan was not in much of a hurry to continue traveling. At this moment, instead, he wanted to try Sword Flight.
The memory of Sword Flight belonged to his former life, and now he could finally experience Sword Flight again, which excited Ding Fan.
Ding Fan immediately summoned his flying sword and stepped onto it. After channeling his True Qi, he took to the skies with the flying sword.
Rising with the sword once more gave Ding Fan an immense thrill!
As he rose with the wind, overlooking the great earth below, Ding Fan couldn't help feeling a surge of pride and boldness.
Controlling the flying sword, Ding Fan flew a good hundred li away before he finally brought the flying sword down.
Given Ding Fan's current level of cultivation, although the speed of the flying sword was fast, the True Qi it consumed was more than he could handle.
After indulging in the thrill of Sword Flight for a while, Ding Fan started to contact Elder Shen and the others using the wireless device he had brought with him.
When Elder Shen managed to contact Ding Fan and learned that he had recaptured Li Shuo, he was so surprised that his mouth could barely close. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
After all, Ding Fan was facing the Paranormal Organization's Sixth Guard Squad of The Stars and Stripes Country, as well as Japan's Ninja Squad. Neither of these teams was easy to provoke. Otherwise, Elder Shen wouldn't have assembled so many skilled individuals.
Yet, Ding Fan went alone, a lone player entering the fray. By himself, he managed to bring back the key individual, Li Shuo. If it were not for Elder Shen's understanding of Ding Fan, he might have doubted whether Ding Fan was exaggerating.
Immediately, Elder Shen set a meeting point with Ding Fan and dispatched a helicopter to pick him up.
Ding Fan, having flown a great distance with the sword, was now located deep in the mountains, over a hundred li away from Jenna City. This forest was known to be very dangerous, and the spot where Ding Fan was happened to be right in the center of that forest.
Elder Shen was initially startled upon learning Ding Fan's location, considering that it had only been a little over a day since Ding Fan arrived in Jenna. In just one day, he had run to a remote, ancient forest...
But then Elder Shen came to terms with it, realizing that if Ding Fan were not doing something extraordinary, he wouldn't be Ding Fan.
The helicopter soon arrived at Ding Fan's location as agreed upon.
After two to three hours of flying, Ding Fan was once again on a plane flying back to the assembling town.
When Ding Fan handed over Li Shuo to Elder Shen and the others, Elder Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality. It was unbelievable that one person could snatch someone back from the Sixth Guard Squad and Ninja Squad—this was incredibly fierce.
Having handed Li Shuo over to Elder Shen and his group, Ding Fan had nothing more to do with the matter. The interrogation of Li Shuo had nothing to do with him anymore.
Ding Fan had brought Li Shuo back alone, a fact known only to Elder Shen and the few core members of teams three, five, six, and seven—the majority of the others were oblivious.
Ding Fan had previously informed Elder Shen that he wanted to keep the mission secret. Accomplishing such a task single-handedly was bound to be somewhat shocking.
So before Ding Fan's return, Elder Shen had made a big show of leading the invited guests to lay in wait near the expansive Myanmar border.
Elder Mu knew Ding Fan didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble, so his actions were simply meant to better keep Ding Fan's mission a secret.
Having completed his mission, Ding Fan thought about returning to Dancheng first.
He had been away for too long, and there were still things in Dancheng waiting for him to do. Now that his hands were free, it was a good opportunity to go back.
Upon learning Ding Fan wanted to return to Dancheng, Elder Shen did not try to stop him. Whether it was a deliberate arrangement by Elder Shen or just how things turned out, Ye Ningqing also happened to have business back in Dancheng, so she accompanied Ding Fan on the journey.
At this time, the little demon, Mu Zi, was leading a team to lay an ambush in Myanmar, and so could not follow along.
Ding Fan and Ye Ningqing got ready and were sent directly to the nearest airport by a plane dispatched by Elder Shen. After catching another flight there, they flew straight back to Dancheng.
The journey was quite smooth, without any mishaps, and they soon made it back to Dancheng.
Ding Fan and Ye Ningqing walked out of the airport together, and just after stepping out, Ye Ningqing spotted a familiar figure.
Ding Fan followed Ye Ningqing's gaze and saw a man in a suit at the airport parking lot, talking to a beautiful girl.
"Li Qing, can you really let go of our feelings for each other? Have you forgotten our vows? I love you..." the man called cousin by Ye Ningqing said to the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Mu Qiangsheng, we've broken up. Please, stop bothering me. If others see us, they will get the wrong idea!" The beautiful woman named Li Qing expressed her disgust, trying to leave.
Mu Qiangsheng directly stepped in front of Li Qing, blocking her way. "Li Qing, you know I would die for you. Have you really forgotten what we had?"
Li Qing slapped him across the face.
"Mu Qiangsheng, please stay away from me. I don't like you anymore, it's that simple. Please leave me alone!"
Mu Qiangsheng stood there stunned, unable to believe that Li Qing would physically lash out at him.
"Li Qing, how could you..."
"Mu Qiangsheng, let me make this clear to you, I am with someone else now. Do you really think you're still the same Mu Family heir who could command the wind and rain? Please..." Li Qing snorted coldly.
"What did you just say?" Mu Qiangsheng's face turned sour.
"What's wrong, Young Master Mu, getting angry so easily?" Just then, a man in a suit approached from the side.
Upon seeing the man in the suit approaching, Li Qing's face lit up with a smile as she walked straight up to him.
"Qian Jun... why did you come here..." As Li Qing spoke, she swayed her hips and nestled into Qian Jun's embrace.
Witnessing this scene, Mu Qiangsheng went pale, his body trembling weakly as if struck by lightning, standing powerlessly in place.
Qian Jun wrapped his arm around Li Qing's waist and looked challengingly at Mu Qiangsheng.
"Mu Qiangsheng... your father has been removed from office for dereliction of duty and is currently under review. And you, a small-time bureaucrat in the district, have also been dismissed... How do you, in your current state, deserve Li Qing?"
Mu Qiangsheng clenched his fists tightly, his body slightly shaking.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, Mu Qiangsheng. Li Qing is now my woman. If you dare to harass her again… I will break your legs..." Qian Jun's face turned stern.
"Mu Qiangsheng, forget about it; from now on, I am Qian Jun's woman... I look down on you for being a pauper, so don't come looking for me again," Li Qing scoffed at Mu Qiangsheng.
"Enough, no more talking to that loser." Qian Jun wrapped his arm around Li Qing and the two sauntered past Mu Qiangsheng, leaving him behind...
