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

"Liu Hu is dead, did you know?"

Xiao Zhan stared into the tall man's eyes and spoke. Although his face was covered, Xiao Zhan still saw the tall man's initial look of surprise upon hearing that Liu Hu was dead, followed by an exclamation: "How could Liu Hu possibly be dead?"

Xiao Zhan saw that the tall man's expression didn't seem to be feigning, and he probably really didn't know. So he said, "Because Liu Hu also ambushed me. After seeing that I was the target, he stopped. I asked Liu Hu who was the mastermind, and Liu Hu was about to say who it was when he was shot in the head by a sniper."

The tall man fell silent upon hearing this, then two streams of tears welled up in his eyes. It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but only when they are truly heartbroken…

The tall guy knew Xiao Zhan wasn't lying to him, because he too had been forced by that person to come to the back mountain to ambush Xiao Zhan, and he and the skinny guy had been lying in wait there for several days...

Moreover, this mission is a life-or-death situation; even if Xiao Zhan doesn't die, the two of them won't survive either.

Not only did they each receive ten million dollars, but their families were also controlled by the people behind the scenes.

Xiao Zhan was surprised to see the tall man crying. He had seen many mercenaries and assassins, and very few would shed tears for the death of a comrade in public. So he said, "Throw away your gun now and don't try to resist, because you have no chance to resist me. Then take off your mask."

"Clang!"

The tall man obediently threw the pistol and magazine to the ground, then slowly pulled off his mask, revealing a pale face with a resemblance to Liu Hu in his features…

Xiao Zhan: "What's your name?"

The tall man hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Liu Bao, and I am Liu Hu's cousin."

Xiao Zhan asked in surprise, "You're Liu Long's cousin?"

Liu Bao: "Yes, in our Liu family, we are ranked by age. Liu Long is the eldest brother, Liu Hu is the second brother, and I am the third. Liu Long was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr after he died in battle with you in the army. I also know that you send money to my uncle's family every month. When Liu Hu brought me out, he told me that he was in charge of the mercenary group under your instructions."

Xiao Zhan: "Since you know me, why did you still help the wicked and come here to assassinate me?"

Liu Bao gave a bitter smile and said, "I was forced into this situation. My wife and children are being controlled by that person. If I don't come, I'll never see my family again."

Xiao Zhan: "Who is that person?"

Liu Bao looked up at the summit of the mountain behind him, then grinned miserably and said, "I can't say!"

Seeing the resolute look in Liu Bao's eyes, Xiao Zhan sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Liu Bao, what do you want to do?"

The voice has not fallen,

"Bang!"

A sniper bullet whistled through the air...

"Bang!"

Liu Bao didn't even try to dodge; his head was blown apart by the sniper bullet...

It turns out he was prepared to die for his family...

Xiao Zhan rolled over and hid behind a large tree nearby, shouting into his headset, "Shen Jun, there are still snipers on the mountaintop."

Shen Jun replied, "What a cunning bastard! He actually sent two mercenaries in front as cover so he could take the opportunity to ambush us. Instructor, luckily you were in a blind spot, otherwise that sniper bullet would probably have hit your head."

Xiao Zhan had just hidden behind a big tree.

Next second,

"Bang bang bang!"

Several sniper bullets whistled through the air and struck the large tree in front of him, sending tree debris flying and branches and leaves scattering everywhere.

The powerful impact of the sniper bullet cracked the bark of the tree trunk, making it clear that there was no longer any place to hide behind it.

Xiao Zhan shouted into his headset, "Shen Jun, cover me!"

Through the earpiece, Shen Jun replied, panting heavily, "Okay!"

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, Shen Jun was rapidly advancing towards the mountaintop while firing to draw the enemy's attention and provide cover for Xiao Zhan...

Xiao Zhan darted out from behind a tree and sprinted up the mountain. His intention was simple and clear: to reach the summit, capture the sniper, and avenge Liu Bao…

The back mountain was a place Xiao Zhan often played in when he was a child. From the age of five, he would run ten kilometers on the back mountain every morning and evening. It can be said that Xiao Zhan was extremely familiar with every stone, every step, and every tree on the back mountain.

At this moment, Shen Jun hid behind a large rock and kept firing at the sniper.

Because pistols have a short range, they cannot effectively kill snipers. However, every shot fired by the sniper could endanger Shen Jun's life. It was only because Shen Jun was a veteran with extensive experience that he was able to kill an ordinary person, who would probably have been shot in the head long ago.

Shen Jun's goal was simple: to stall the enemy and buy time for Xiao Zhanzheng.

After three minutes,

Xiao Zhan used a secret path to reach a spot a dozen meters away from the sniper. There was a large, protruding rock there that blocked the sniper's view.

By this time, it was already dark, and dozens of figures were rapidly moving up the mountain.

Those people were the Xiao family's bodyguards.

Xiao Zhan was shocked to see bloodstains all over Shen Jun's body not far away. He quickly asked into his earpiece, "Shen Jun, are you injured?"

Shen Jun replied, "Instructor, I'm not injured. I just got cut by trees and rocks while I was rolling and running."

Seeing that Shen Jun was unharmed, Xiao Zhan said with relief, "You keep firing to distract them, I'll rush over and capture them alive, let's see who it is!"

Shen Jun: "Understood."

"Bang bang bang".

Shen Jun dodged and fired a few shots.

"Bang!"

The sniper seized the opportunity and fired a shot. The bullet narrowly missed Shen Jun's head, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Zhan silently pounced on a tabby cat. The distance of more than ten meters could be covered by Xiao Zhan in just two seconds.

The sniper had just fired a shot, pulled the bolt to eject the spent cartridge, and was about to reload when he caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye. The sniper quickly dropped his sniper rifle and rolled to the side, while simultaneously reaching for his pistol on his thigh. However, before he could even chamber a round, Xiao Zhan had already leaped down and kicked the sniper in the wrist.

"Snap!"

The wrist snapped with a sudden, loud crack.

"oops."

The sniper let out a piercing scream of pain.

"Clang!"

The pistol fell to the ground.

Xiao Zhan kicked the sniper to the ground again. When he saw the man's face, he exclaimed, "You Dashan, is that you?"

Yu Dashan stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes without any fear. Instead, he grinned and said, "Xiao Zhan, you've finally shown up."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiao Zhan immediately sensed something was wrong and felt a chill run down his spine as a strong aura of death instantly enveloped his entire body...

He thought to himself, "This is a trap."

With this thought in mind, Xiao Zhan acted swiftly, his body leaping forward in a tiger-pouncing stance...

however,

"Bang."

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet whistled towards Xiao Zhan's back. If he were hit in a vital area at close range, Xiao Zhan would surely die...

However, at this moment, Xiao Zhan was lunging forward and had his back to the bullet, so he had no way of knowing the direction from which the bullet was coming.

At this critical moment,

A figure leaped forward and blocked the bullet.

"puff!"

The sound of a bullet piercing flesh rang in Xiao Zhan's ears...

"Thump!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan fell to the ground, then sprang up with a somersault, kicking the sniper rifle that the sniper had thrown to the ground with his toe...

In the blink of an eye.

Xiao Zhan caught the sniper rifle in mid-air, cocked it with a pull of the bolt with his left hand, and fired at the figure shooting at him with one hand...

"Bang!"

Sniper bullets whistled out...

The other party never expected Xiao Zhan to have this trick up his sleeve.

"puff!"

The bullet pierced his heart instantly...
