Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Amitabha Buddha, Director Xia is right. Tanzhe Temple is a royal temple; how could it possibly take in a female benefactor?"

Jueyuan clasped his hands together, looking completely innocent...

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xia Keke: "Whose side are you on? We came here to arrest Liu Chuanren, but you're taking the other side's side."

Xia Keke: "I'll side with what's right, not with my own family."

Xiao Zhan angrily said, "So you're saying you're helping the right side and not your own? Fine, then you come in with me and search the place yourself."

As Xiao Zhan spoke, he pulled Xia Keke and walked into the temple.

Seeing the two arguing, Jueyuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "You two fools, don't even think about digging three feet into the ground of Tanzhe Temple, you could dig six feet and still not find it. Who would have thought there was a hidden door inside the Bodhisattva's belly?"

But he was still puzzled as to who had leaked the news that Ishida Mako was hiding in Tanzhe Temple.

Seeing Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke enter the temple gate, Jueyuan quickly followed and said, "Gentlemen, Tanzhe Temple is a royal temple and cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, it will affect the fate of the nation."

at the same time,

Shen Jun, along with Zhang Jie, Wu Lei, and two other brothers—a total of five people—drove to the back mountain of Tanzhe Temple in one car.

Actually, there are several paths behind Tanzhe Temple, but now only one is open to cars. The other paths have been converted into pedestrian and bicycle paths, and cars are no longer allowed, supposedly for environmental protection.

Shen Jun drove the car into the roadside woods and hid it, then wiped away the tire tracks on the ground. For them, who were special forces soldiers, this was a piece of cake.

Shen Jun said to sniper Zhang Jie, "Find a position yourself, and let me know when you're done."

Zhang Jie: "It's the captain."

Then, carrying a sniper rifle, he disappeared into the woods...

Shen Jun said to Wu Lei, "Find a high vantage point to observe the surrounding environment. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

Wu Lei: "Understood."

Then he picked up a Type 95 assault rifle and left.

Shen Jun glanced at the remaining two men, then pointed to the winding mountain road ahead and said, "This road leads directly to the back of Tanzhe Temple. According to intelligence, the target will come down this road to meet up with his backup. The three of us will split up. Don't fire without my signal. Understand?"

"I understand."

The two said in unison.

Shen Jun waved his hand: "Take cover."

"Splash!"

The three people ran off in three different directions and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the roar of car engines came from the foot of the mountain in the distance, and judging from the sound, there were at least two high-powered off-road vehicles.

Shen Jun was hiding in a place where he couldn't see down the mountain.

So he asked into his headset, "What's the situation down the mountain?"

Wu Lei, who was already observing from the tree, saw two black Land Rovers speeding towards them through binoculars…

So he said, "Reporting, Captain, two Land Rovers have arrived. They must be here to pick up the target."

Shen Jun's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Everyone, hide well. These two cars must be here to pick up Liu Chuanren."

"Hehe, the instructor's intelligence is very accurate. We're going to make a big contribution today. Wait for my order before you fire."

Two or three minutes later,

Two black Land Rovers were parked on the side of the road, one after the other.

"Clang, clang!"

A young man got out of the passenger seat of each of the two cars. One of them took out his phone to make a call, while the other looked around warily.

Shen Jun hid behind a large tree and saw that both men had bulges at their waists, indicating that they were carrying guns.

Unfortunately, the car window film was very dark, so he couldn't see inside the car, but Shen Jun had a feeling that there should be two or three people in each car.

So he whispered into his headset, "Everyone, listen up. When we move out, if the enemy dares to pull out a gun and resist, kill them without mercy. We're not taking any chances. Do you all understand?"

"I understand."

Shen Jun then spoke into the headset, "Zhang Jie, how's your vision?"

Zhang Jie replied: "Reporting, Captain, good visibility. The crosshair is right in the middle of the enemy's forehead. Hehe, waiting for a headshot!"

At this moment, the young man who was on the phone put down his phone and said to the other person, "Be quick, the young master will be here soon."

"Understood, boss."

It was already evening, the sun had set, and the vegetation on the back mountain, already lush, had a gloomy feel without sunlight...

What's strange is that there was no one or any cars on the mountain road at this time. Apart from the sound of two Land Rover engines, the surrounding forest was eerily quiet...

Suddenly, the two young men pulled out pistols from their waists.

"Snap! Snap!"

Both men quickly cocked their pistols.

"Bang!"

The rear doors of the two Land Rovers were pushed open, and two more people jumped out of each vehicle. All four men were dressed in camouflage, their tactical vests were full of magazines, and they had several grenades hanging on their chests. On one side of their thighs, they had a Type 92 pistol, and on the other side, they had a military dagger. Moreover, all four men were carrying Type 95 assault rifles.

Shen Jun was immediately taken aback when he saw the four men's attire; their equipment was standard jungle combat gear...

Shen Jun sensed something was wrong and quickly sent a message to Xiao Zhan.

At this point, there were six people outside the other side, and two drivers in the two cars. Shen Jun felt that there should be a backup person in each Land Rover.

The other side came prepared, and they had a numerical advantage as well as superior firepower.

At this moment, the two young men who got off the bus first, carrying pistols, climbed up the hillside and ran upwards. Then, two people came down the hillside.

Wu Lei spotted the two people immediately and quickly reported to his superior: "Captain, the target has appeared in your 11 o'clock direction."

Shen Jun quickly looked through his binoculars and, sure enough, saw a man and a woman, hand in hand, walking down the mountain with a limp…

At this moment, two young men stepped forward respectfully and said, "Young Master, the steward sent us to pick you up."

Panting heavily and covered in sweat, Liu Chuanren said, "Come quickly and help me and Miss Zhenzi. We ran out from the path behind Tanzhe Temple. The path was too difficult to walk on, and Miss Zhenzi even twisted her ankle."

Mako Ishida said in a soft voice, "Ouch, it hurts so much! Look, my ankle is all swollen."

Two young men quickly stepped forward, one helping the other down the hillside.

At this moment, the four men carrying Type 95 assault rifles, two of whom remained on guard with their guns, and two of whom approached Liu Chuanren with their guns at them, clearly intending to provide protection for Liu Chuanren.

It was already dark by then.

Liu Chuanren breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the contact person and said to Ishida Mako, "Mako, I still can't figure out who leaked our secret at Tanzhe Temple?"

Mako Ishida bent down, rubbing her swollen ankle, and said, "Young Master Liu, wasn't this already explained? Why are you bringing it up again? If you doubt me, then I'll leave you. I said we should part amicably. You can go now."

Liu Chuanren's face darkened: "What will you do if I leave first?"

"Is someone coming to meet you?"

Ishida Mako raised her sweat-drenched face, looked coldly at Liu Chuanren, and said, "You still doubt me."

"Now I see it clearly. You want to get rid of me. Someone like you is suspicious and indecisive. You're destined to achieve little. I originally wanted to help you acquire the Liu family's assets in Little Japan, but it seems you're not worthy of my help."

As she spoke, Mako Ishida stood up and limped down the mountain...

Liu Chuanren sneered, "Now I understand what Grandpa meant when he said, 'The real game of chess is outside the chessboard.'"

"You're not approaching me to help me."

"Kill her!"
