Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 158 Chen Jiang Shot
By the time the two arrived, Chen Jiang had already vanished, leaving them completely bewildered. How could this little girl have run so fast?
They didn't realize someone was helping her until they saw Chen Jiang's car.

Under normal circumstances, how could a car possibly be parked here?
Moreover, when I touched the engine hood, it was still warm, which meant the situation was serious.

Before they arrived, their superiors had instructed them to find out if Anya was being secretly protected by the police. Now, the two of them had only discovered some clues, but it was hard to say for sure. So, the quick-witted skinny guy immediately took out his phone and called his superiors to report the situation.

The person on the other end of the phone was swift and decisive, and the order had changed: no living, only dead; afterwards, say it was police mistaken killing.

This move is undeniably ruthless, because with so many miles separating them, how can Kunji determine who actually committed the murder? And most importantly, Kunji will lose Chatchai's trust as a result, as Chatchai has never trusted those who are difficult to control.

The person who came up with this plan was Chatchai's other adopted son, who was also jealous of Kunji's promotion. He had been looking for an opportunity to make a move, and now that Anya had someone protecting her, it was probably the police's doing.

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he ordered his men to kill Anya!
Chen Jiang was unaware that the other party had murderous intentions. After carrying Anya for a long time along the mountain path, he finally approached a road.
In fact, Anya on her back had already woken up, but she pretended to be unconscious. The main reason was that her first reaction after waking up was being carried by her brother, which felt very warm. Having lost her parents at a young age, she lacked care and love. Her brother had left for distant places after she became sensible and rarely came back. He usually only sent money and asked others to deliver gifts. Therefore, she cherished this feeling of warmth.

Later she realized that this person was indeed not her brother, but she really hoped that her brother was like that, without tattoos, without the smell of tobacco, only with that upright spirit, who could stand up for her and protect her in times of danger.

This made her a little embarrassed to speak, so she could only close her eyes.

Chen Jiang was focused on observing the movements behind him and the situation on the road, and did not notice that Anya had woken up. Fortunately, Meng Chao was reliable enough to pull over to the side of the road, and then drove off with Chen Jiang in tow.

"What's wrong with her?" Meng Chao asked when he saw that Anya hadn't woken up.

"If someone has drugged you, you should find a doctor to take a look." Although Chen Jiang was in good physical condition, he was still drenched in sweat after carrying such a large person for so long.

"I left your old car there, you'll have to deal with it yourself!" Chen Jiang handed over the keys.

Meng Chao accepted the car somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "I'm sorry, the bureau is short on funds, so we've always been using vehicles sparingly. I really didn't mean to give you a broken one."

He turned around and handed the keys to one of his men, saying, "Have a few people go and get the car back, see if you can fix it."

Chen Jiang felt uneasy after hearing this. These days, many police stations don't have much funding, and the limited funds have to be used to solve major cases. However, he wasn't worried that Meng Chao's men wouldn't be able to find the car, since the police cars all had GPS tracking systems installed in hidden compartments.

With Meng Chao's help, they quickly took Anya to the People's Hospital. After a preliminary diagnosis, it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong, but the girl's body was weak and she needed to recuperate.

This put them in a difficult position, because the original plan was to let her leave on her own and then find a pretext to settle her down, but now the plan to "switch" her at the train station was definitely not going to work.

"Meng Chao, I think the other party may already know that someone is helping her, so we need to change our approach." Chen Jiang calmed down and went through the process, feeling that unless the other party was an idiot, they would most likely realize that something was wrong.

They just might not know that the police were involved.

“Indeed, plans can’t keep up with changes, and we need to adjust our thinking in time. Chen Jiang, do you have any good ideas?” Meng Chao asked sincerely.

"Now we need to prepare for both possibilities. On the one hand, we should arrange for Anya to go to a safe place to recuperate. Once this storm has passed, she will be completely free. On the other hand, we need to prepare for the worst. The other side already knows that the police are involved, so Kunji is in a more dangerous situation. We need to notify him to evacuate as soon as possible! As long as we are alive, we can always make a comeback."

Chen Jiang had no decision-making power, but he had to explain the possible scenarios. As for what Interpol would do, he had no right to interfere.

"If we let Kunji leave now, the whole plan will be ruined. What a pity!" Meng Chao hesitated. In fact, the operation was originally very successful, but it was just due to this unfortunate coincidence.

If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred Anya to leave via the airport rather than this.

But the least valuable thing in the world is "if".

"It's better than letting Kunji die in vain. Do you think Kunji's life doesn't matter?" Chen Jiang was a little annoyed. Now that things have come to this, they still won't let Kunji leave. They really don't treat him like a human being.

Meng Chao smiled awkwardly, "Chen Jiang, as you know, I have no say in this matter, so getting angry at me won't help. But one thing is certain: if the other side does know that the police are involved, then Kunji will have to withdraw whether he wants to or not. Interpol can't just take lives so lightly, can it? But what if, I mean what if, the people in Chachai don't know? Then we'll miss a golden opportunity."

At this point, his expression became extremely serious. "Do you know how many people have sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of fighting drugs? For example, how many people in our armed police border defense force fall victim to drug traffickers every year?"

Chen Jiang knew perfectly well that this was what he did in his previous life, but...
"We'll wait for the higher-ups to make the arrangements. The leaders will decide. I've already asked for instructions, and we'll move Anya away as soon as they give us a reply. After all, she's innocent."

"We still have to wait for a reply? Can't we just move them now? The higher-ups must have told her to leave too. It's too dangerous here, and we can't fully track the whereabouts of those thugs." Chen Jiang had some reservations about Meng Chao's arrangement.

However, Meng Chao also had his own difficulties. As a subordinate leader, he had to listen to his superiors, and any act of acting on his own initiative was not allowed.

Moreover, he may soon be promoted to the top position, so he cannot act on his own initiative at such a crucial moment.

"Let's settle on this. You go and rest for a while. I'll call you if I need anything!" Meng Chao said weakly.

Just then, his subordinate ran over to report that the car had been found and there were no signs of the doors being forced open, which finally put Meng Chao's mind at ease.

There's police equipment in the trunk of this car; if they actually open it, all our efforts will be in vain.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang knew there was no point in continuing the conversation. He could only wait for Meng Chao's superiors' reply before immediately moving Anya away, thus putting the matter to rest.

Unexpectedly, Anya had excellent hearing. She pretended to be asleep, but actually overheard almost everything the people next door were saying. Because she kept her eyes closed, Chen Jiang didn't notice.

When she heard that her brother might be in danger, her heart clenched. Although Kunji never told her what he did for a living, after all these years, and after overhearing their conversation, Anya realized that her brother was most likely working with bad people and that his life was in danger.

That way, she definitely can't leave. If she leaves, what will happen to her brother?
In this world, he only has one relative left.

Chen Jiang was a little tired, and since Meng Chao had sent several of his men to protect Anya, he went to a nearby room to take a nap.

As a result, after sleeping for a while, Meng Chao woke him up.

"Oh no! Anya is missing!"

"Nonsense, wasn't she just here? With so many of you, you can't keep an eye on one girl?" Chen Jiang had just woken up and his brain was still a bit fuzzy, but he clearly remembered that he had specifically checked on Anya before going to bed and made sure that Meng Chao's security was in good condition before he came to rest.

How could she have disappeared so quickly? "Oh dear, she made an excuse to get up and go to the restroom. We're all male officers, how could we follow her into the restroom? In just a few minutes, this little girl climbed out of the women's restroom window into the adjacent storage room and then ran away."

Chen Jiang cursed him inwardly for being useless, unable to even handle such a small matter, but he couldn't show his anger out of pride. Besides, losing his temper wouldn't do any good now; the most urgent thing was to come up with a solution!
He immediately got up and went to the toilet to check, and found that it was indeed an easy place to climb out; he had been careless.

But they were all men. Who would bother to examine the windows of the women's restroom in a hospital?

"Chen Jiang, where do you think she'll go? Why would she run away?" Meng Chao was completely confused and had no clue what to do.

"Oh no, he must have overheard our conversation. Didn't you notice? The soundproofing in this hospital is pretty bad." Chen Jiang realized this too.

"If that's the case, will she go back to school?" Chen Jiang suddenly had the worst possible guess. If that were the case, it would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter!

"No way?" Meng Chao was also surprised, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed possible. After all, Anya didn't have any friends here and had nowhere else to go.

In her mind, perhaps only by returning to school could she protect her brother from harm to the greatest extent possible.

You can't call her stupid; she just doesn't have enough information.

"We can split up. I'll go to the school to look for her, and you can send people to look for her at other train stations, airports, and other places." Chen Jiang wasn't sure if Anya had gone back to school. Young girls are prone to impulsiveness, so it's better to take a multi-pronged approach.

Meng Chao had no better option at the moment and could only obey. Before leaving, he told Chen Jiang to call him if anything happened.

As we walked out of the hospital, Qi Huan was already waiting for us in his car by the roadside. "Meng Chao gave us a nice car this time, a Passat! This must be the best civilian vehicle in their bureau."

Chen Jiang didn't say anything, but urged Qi Huan to drive faster. He had a feeling that this time things were going to get really bad.

As he expected, Anya was discovered by the Chachai gang's men who were monitoring her as soon as she returned to campus. This made him ecstatic, considering that he had been severely reprimanded by his superiors and was sure to face a terrible end.

But who would have thought that this little girl would actually come back?
When Chen Jiang and the others arrived at the school, he didn't care anymore and rushed in with Qi Huan. Fortunately, they had the work permits that Meng Chao had prepared for them, so they were able to pass through without any obstacles.

It was already evening, and there were no classes at the university, so he could only rush to the girls' dormitory, but he was told some very bad news: Anya had indeed returned, but she wasn't in the dormitory; she had gone to the study room.

Chen Jiang ran all the way to the study room building and found that there weren't many students studying there today, but he had no idea which classroom Anya was in.

"Let's split up and search!" Chen Jiang and Qi Huan immediately split into two groups.

Finally, he saw Anya studying vocabulary alone in a corridor. Anya had changed into a light blue dress, and her long hair was gently swaying in the breeze, making her look serene and intellectual.

"Oh no!" Chen Jiang's heart tightened; Anya was in danger!
He sensed that a criminal was about to emerge from the fire escape, and that the man was clutching a gleaming blade.

He rushed toward the fire door with incredible speed. The moment the assailant lunged at Anya with his knife, Anya noticed his cold smile and the dagger in his hand. She was so terrified that she could not move an inch.

In this extremely critical moment, Chen Jiang could only leap up and push Anya away, but his arm was slashed by the fat thug.

Chen Jiang didn't have time to worry about his wounds. He used all his strength to kick the assailant in the chest, and the fat man was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Anya! Run!" Chen Jiang shouted, grabbing Anya's hand and pulling her towards the stairs.

Since the other party has already decided to kill, there's no way they wouldn't have a backup plan.

But just as he was rushing downstairs with Anya, a thin man suddenly appeared around the corner. Chen Jiang recognized this man; he had run into the two of them at the train station.

Moreover, he sensed that the other person wasn't holding a knife, but a silenced pistol.

In close-quarters combat, this silenced pistol has very little recoil and poses a significant threat.

With no other option, he could only pull Anya back again. Seeing the fat man picking up the knife and trying to get up, Chen Jiang was no longer willing to hold back. He threw a powerful right hook, hitting the fat man squarely in the left temple, and he instantly fell to the ground again.

This delay allowed the assassin downstairs to rush up. Seeing the fat man's miserable state, he flew into a rage, pointing his black gun at the two men.

"Watch out!" Chen Jiang reacted quickly, grabbing the dagger the fat man had dropped and using his body to block several bullets aimed at Anya.

"Ah~" Anya finally couldn't take it anymore and started screaming. The other students in the study building also noticed the abnormality, but no one dared to go forward. Instead, they all screamed and ran away.

Despite the excruciating pain, Chen Jiang turned around and used his last bit of strength to throw the dagger, which struck the skinny man squarely in the throat.

He probably didn't understand even before he died how this kid could have such amazing skills.
"You're injured?" Anya had come to her senses by then. When she saw that Chen Jiang's back was covered in blood, she was so frightened that she was completely at a loss.

But one thing is certain: this man who looks like her older brother saved her again.

"Chen Jiang!" Qi Huan finally arrived at this moment. Seeing the scene before him, he was struck dumb. But he was a man who had seen a lot, so he immediately went forward to check his wounds.

"Hang in there, it's just a scrape, the ambulance will be here soon!" Qi Huan took out his phone and started making a trembling call. This university was very close to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and this was their only hope.

"Don't worry, Qi Huan, I won't die!"

Chen Jiang actually knew what was going on. He had just been shot twice, and he didn't know if any vital organs had been hit, but his system control panel was flashing red lights rapidly.

Danger!

Danger!

Danger!
