CHAPTER 1572: CHAPTER 1624: RESCUE SUCCESSFUL

The team of more than twenty people, some captured, some dead, suddenly only he was left. Fortunately, he still had a hostage in hand. The Vulture leader forced the soldiers entering to withdraw, but these soldiers, without orders, were unwilling to move. The leader shouted twice in a row, agitated. If the other side didn’t retreat, he seemed really ready to shoot.

Sarama had already come over. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Yifei wave a hand at them and said, "Everyone, withdraw."

These people didn’t question Li Yifei’s authority, but they hesitated for a moment before stepping back and retreating from the window.

Sarama stayed behind, with one hand behind her back. If necessary, she could draw a gun within a second. Of course, a second was also enough time for the other side to fire a shot, or even two. And Li Yifei was standing just four or five meters away from the other side. Could he react in time at such a close distance?

Sarama was unsure, thus she stayed.

The Vulture leader didn’t take Sarama seriously; he merely glanced at her. Seeing those soldiers retreating afar, he secretly sighed in relief. In front of him was only an unarmed Huaxia man, and outside, a woman, greatly reducing the threat.

"Prepare a helicopter for me to take me to the seaside, and I promise I won’t harm this woman!" the leader said to Li Yifei. He had already realized that this Huaxia man, whom they initially intended to kidnap, had the most authority among these people; naturally, he was also the most formidable.

Thinking of this, he slightly shifted his gaze, intending to glare at those two damned Japanese. If it weren’t for their hire, he and his subordinates wouldn’t have been trapped in such a perilous situation, much less be left alone.

Before kidnapping, could you at least explain what the target does? Is this an ordinary person? How could an ordinary person have armed helicopters and raise a troop?

Standing opposite him, Li Yifei accurately captured this moment of distraction. Although Li Yifei couldn’t guess his inner thoughts, this moment was already enough.

Without communicating with anyone, Li Yifei didn’t remind Wu Shuwei to be careful. He suddenly roared, like a clap of thunder, as if it wasn’t humanly possible, the sound burst out like a sonic attack, startling the leader to his core, seemingly stopping his heartbeat out of fear.

As the leader was about to ask what was going on, he felt his vision blur, and a dark figure approached in an instant, like a blink of an eye.

The leader immediately prepared to pull the trigger; even if his reaction was slow, he understood that Li Yifei had made a move, so all he could do was kill the hostage before him first.

If you won’t let me live, then this woman won’t live either, die together! The leader’s eyes went fierce and he shouted the same.

Sarama had already sensed something was wrong earlier, so she acted in advance, pulling out her gun from behind and aimed in a very short time, ready to fire. But Li Yifei had already darted in front of his opponent in a blink, blocking her line of sight, and Sarama couldn’t take that shot.

"Bang!" The gun fired, the leader viciously pressed the trigger, let’s end this, with this woman accompanying me in death, I’ll die without loneliness!

But why didn’t the woman’s head in front explode? Even if it didn’t explode, there should have been a burst of blood, but none of that happened. What had happened? The leader’s vision went dark, then he felt a piercing pain in his arm, not just the fingers but the whole arm. He wanted to lower his head to look at his arm, but he found he couldn’t even lower his head.

What happened, what exactly happened, why couldn’t he do any of these things?

His body was also immobilized, starting to ache in many places, yet he was helpless.

Li Yifei didn’t kill him directly, although he could easily do it. Throwing away the gun, Li Yifei reached out to Wu Shuwei, who had been watching him with a smile. Wu Shuwei let out a small whimper, throwing herself into his arms.

This was what she had wanted to do all along, and now she finally did it. Clinging tightly around Li Yifei’s neck, wishing her whole body could hang onto him, Wu Shuwei was now truly safe. Smelling the unique scent of the man in her arms, she was unafraid and thought of nothing else.

Li Yifei patted Wu Shuwei’s back and said, "Let’s go, we’re leaving!"

Wu Shuwei let go of Li Yifei, but still holding onto his arm, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

As for the person who held her hostage, Wu Shuwei never glanced at him from beginning to end.

Outside the window, Sarama put away her gun, pouting, keeping her reservations about Wu Shuwei throwing herself into Li Yifei’s arms and Li Yifei not refusing.

Seeing Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei come out, Sarama still stepped forward. Anyway, the person was finally rescued unharmed, otherwise Li Yifei might have gone mad.

Holding onto Li Yifei, Wu Shuwei followed him out. Looking at the troops outside and several helicopters, Wu Shuwei sniffed, then after coming out, she bowed to the surrounding people and hugged Angelina who ran over. The two women held each other, and Angelina choked up saying, "Wu, are you injured? You scared me to death."

Wu Shuwei shook her head and said, "I’m fine, they didn’t have the chance to harm me, I was rescued."

"That’s good, that’s good, it’s over now, forget about these unpleasant things," Angelina said.

Wu Shuwei saw Sarama again, approached her, and sincerely said, "Thank you, Sarama, thank you for your help."

Sarama shook her head and said, "No need to thank me; it’s good that you’re okay."

After speaking, Sarama looked at Li Yifei, as if to say, I was helping him, so you should thank Golden Eagle instead.

Wu Shuwei also looked at Li Yifei, with a hint of deeper meaning in her eyes.

The soldiers had already stormed in, clearing the scene, securing the area, explaining to the civilians, while coordinating with nearby police stations for further handling.

The captured terrorists faced legal consequences, and those who died also needed to have their identities verified.

As for the captured Vulture leader, a thorough interrogation was in order.

The complicated relationships between Dubai, or rather the UAE, and various organizations can’t be explained in a few words, but they are certainly not innocent, and these organizations also have entanglements with other Middle Eastern countries. However, since the Vulture Organization caused trouble within Dubai’s borders, Dubai still had to respond, especially since even the military was involved. But that’s another story.

The two Japanese individuals hiding under the table were dragged out by the soldiers. They were lucky; they hadn’t been hit by stray bullets nor casually killed by Li Yifei. Their injuries were just from bumps inside the car, at most soft tissue damage.

They held their heads, looking somewhat disheveled, when they were pulled out and brought in front of Li Yifei and the others.

Li Yifei glanced at them, his face still calm, while Tonohei and Honda Takeshi’s faces were full of fear, nearly scared to death. With Li Yifei’s faint glance, both of them almost wished they could immediately collapse on the floor.

God knows who this Huaxia man is, and how he could be so formidable. It’s pitiful that even now, they still didn’t know Li Yifei’s real name, only remembering that he seemed to be called something like Hawk, a name they heard at the conference in the morning.

Not having ascertained the opponent, they rashly acted against him, which now served as a perfect reverse example.

Both of them prayed in their hearts, hoping Li Yifei would ignore them and not cause them trouble, but things did not go as they wished. Li Yifei walked toward them.

Each step Li Yifei took seemed to stomp on their hearts. Honda Takeshi almost wished to dig into the ground to hide from Li Yifei, while Tonohei avoided eye contact. When Li Yifei finally stopped in front of them, Tonohei felt like he couldn’t breathe.

Wu Shuwei didn’t come over; she truly hated these two Japanese men, but since Li Yifei was handling it, she didn’t need to step in.

Sarama signaled Li Yifei with the gun in her hand, hinting that if he desired, he could execute these two at any time. If not for them, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble and still face potential issues upon returning. Executing the two Japanese now could easily be explained as being killed amidst the chaos, even if the Japan Side protests, it wouldn’t matter—what terrorists have done, they can argue with the terrorists themselves.

Japan’s influence in the Middle East is indeed not strong.

Honda Takeshi couldn’t hold it anymore; the atmosphere was unbearably oppressive. The imposing figure of Li Yifei before them felt like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe. Seeing the ill-willed glance from Li Yifei, Honda Takeshi stepped back two steps and stammered out, "We didn’t mean to kill her, we just... just kidnapped to disrupt the signing, really, I’m telling the truth."

Tonohei hurriedly added, "Yes, please believe us, we..."

Li Yifei interrupted him, saying, "Do you think I would believe you?"

The two were instantly at a loss for words, exchanging a glance, then hastily saying, "We... we know our mistake, here, we are willing to offer compensation, please give us a chance. I acted impulsively and didn’t think things through, alarming Miss Wu; both Honda Takeshi and I are willing to make amends..."

Looking at Wu Shuwei, who still didn’t speak, Li Yifei gave a faint smile, and facing the two Japanese, he said, "Although you’ve caused quite a bit of trouble, I’m not planning to kill you. Go back and seek redemption, and earn this lady’s forgiveness."

Upon hearing they wouldn’t die, both immediately looked up, surprised and delighted, at Li Yifei. Honda Takeshi quickly and stutteringly asked, "Really? Really not going to kill us?"

No killing means no killing, but some things are more painful than death, for instance, Li Yifei lightly said, "Go home and tell your supervisors that you provoked Golden Eagle here."
