Chapter 758: 757: Dominate with a Strike, Spare None

Wen Xin waited atop the car for a while when she saw Chief Zhou’s car arrive at the checkpoint first.

This time, they weren’t using their privileges but cooperated with the checkpoint personnel for inspection.

By the time their car reached the checkpoint, the group of mercenaries had already recognized their vehicle. They were rubbing their hands eagerly in preparation for battle, and this time, if they weren’t successful, they would have no face to return.

This mission was one they had fought over—it was all about establishing dominance. Whether their mercenary group could make its mark hinged on this very moment.

Fifteen people emerged together from the checkpoint, and those who had been waiting to pass through tensed up at the scene, something they had never encountered before despite passing this point many times.

Those who had been standing outside waiting to clear the checkpoint all returned to their vehicles, and even a few cars, upon seeing these armed individuals, immediately turned around and left.

Their menacing presence gave them away—they weren’t checkpoint inspectors—and everyone realized the risk.

At this point, a black sedan, with Wei Shisheng who had encountered their convoy previously, sat inside. Wei Shisheng glanced at the familiar license plate and chuckled softly to the man beside him.

“I remember when we passed by a few days ago, we encountered their convoy. They had privileges, no need for inspection…”

“But today seems different; these people seem to be targeting them specifically.”

“Now isn’t the time to be a spectator. Just look at the clothes those people are wearing—no need to guess, they are mercenaries. Probably, something on this convoy has caught the mercenaries’ attention.”

The man’s voice was gentle and pleasant, yet the tremble in his tone betrayed his nervousness.

Faced with the sudden appearance of mercenaries, no one could remain calm.

Even those in the convoy were just as tense.

They had confronted mercenaries head-on before, but being so passive in this situation was a first for them.

Chief Zhou watched a dozen armed mercenaries approaching them and felt incredibly unsettled.

However, to prevent everyone from growing more nervous, he suppressed his emotions as much as possible, portraying himself as steady.

Sitting in the car, he checked his weapon to ensure its functionality before slowly getting out.

The mercenaries, noticing the compliance of the convoy’s people, sported mocking grins. It seemed that the subordinates of F-state’s mightiest were not much after all.

Perhaps they had overestimated their enemies—it appeared the mission was too easy this time?

The mercenaries divided into small groups, rummaging through their vehicles with brazen movements.

Chief Zhou watched their actions, his hands clenched into fists by his side, feeling the anger rising within him.

Having navigated Jianghu for so many years, it was the first time he had been humiliated like this. He unconsciously glanced in the general direction of Wen Xin, knowing he couldn’t rely on her.

She talked a big game, boasting about her sniper skills and planning, and now they had all been thoroughly searched and Wen Xin still hadn’t made a move—truly…

Chief Zhou’s expression was fully observed by Wen Xin. She smirked coldly, gripping her sniper rifle as she aimed at the mercenary leader standing by the wall.

With a “bang,” the bullet pierced through the shoulder of the mercenary leader…

“Bang” went the sound as the bullet pierced through the leg of the mercenary leader…

Before anyone could react to the two guns, the mercenary leader knelt on one knee, one hand clutching his shoulder, the other his leg, as he frantically shouted to his men.

“Quick, quick, quick… capture them, it’s an ambush!”

Wen Xin had already anticipated the mercenary leader’s next move, her sniper rifle smoothly transitioning into a rifle, taking down a mercenary with each shot.

Fourteen consecutive shots rang out, and without giving the mercenaries any chance to fight back, all of them fell to the ground…

Chief Zhou and the rest of the convoy were stunned, eyes wide with shock. They couldn’t comprehend how Wen Xin had taken her shots, especially from such a distance, without a single miss.

Chief Zhou, gazing downward at the gun he had just drawn, fell silent…

In the instant Wen Xin effortlessly took down fourteen men, he had just managed to draw his gun. He couldn’t fathom the extent of Wen Xin’s terrifying capabilities.

All the previous complaints and dissatisfaction turned into admiration. The undeniable truth was right before his eyes, and the only thing he could admit was his own foolishness for underestimating Wen Xin’s strength.

Sharing Chief Zhou’s sentiment was Mo Xuan, sitting in the vehicle. At the sound of the first gunshot, he had regained his senses, completely unaware of how he came to leave Wen Xin’s car and end up seated in this one.

Before he could reflect on it, Wen Xin did another astonishing thing.

If one hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it was real, and that it was a young woman doing it…

While everyone was still reeling in shock, Wen Xin drove straight toward them, parking her car behind the last vehicle in the line.

Opening the car door, she stepped out, her black attire blending into the night like a shadow.

At the sound of the car door slamming shut, those who had been in a daze came to their senses, their gazes shifting as they looked at Wen Xin with a mix of awe and reverence.

Chief Zhou, now fully alert, quickly ran to Wen Xin’s side, his demeanor servile, “Miss Wen…”

“Take care of these people. I’ll check on that mercenary leader,” Wen Xin said coldly, not even glancing at Chief Zhou as she walked past him, heading straight for the mercenary leader.

Chief Zhou wasn’t upset by Wen Xin’s disregard; instead, he began to reflect on himself. If someone had treated him as he had treated Wen Xin, he might have taken the opportunity for revenge…

In an instant, he felt even more respect for Wen Xin, believing that the only person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Xi was likely Miss Wen.

Wen Xin approached the mercenary leader, finding some solace in his forlorn appearance on his knees.

“Isn’t it better to live a good life? Why do you have to mess with his stuff? Now do you realize how ridiculously wrong you were?”

The cool voice of Wen Xin sounded above the head of the mercenary leader, who looked up in surprise. He had not expected there to be a woman among the convoy.

“You…”

“Who gave the order?”

Wen Xin had little patience for small talk; she just wanted to know who was targeting Mu Chengxi and meddling with the cargo. Even though she didn’t know the details, seeing the importance these people placed on it, it must not be something ordinary.
