Chapter 176 Escape from Danger

Surrounded by the enemy, Shen Zhaoning quickly scanned his surroundings, searching for a chance to escape. Cheng Yuwei, while composed, was pounding with nerves. The enemy's weapons gleamed coldly, and the smoke thickened the air.

"General Shen, I didn't expect we would meet in this way." The enemy leader's tone was full of sarcasm, his fingers tapping lightly on the handle of his gun. "The Marshal's troops are indeed powerful, but it's a pity that their cleverness backfired this time."

Shen Zhaoning snorted coldly: "Really? Let's see how long you can keep laughing."

The other party raised an eyebrow and said, "You are still stubborn even when facing death. I am very curious, if the lady next to you falls into our hands, what interesting things will happen?"

Hearing the word "Madam," Cheng Yuwei's heart trembled, but she quickly calmed down. She secretly observed the terrain and found that although the encirclement was tight, there was an area of ​​wooden boxes piled with miscellaneous items on the north side, which might be an opportunity to break through.

"General Shen," she whispered, "I have a way to hold them back for a while. You can take this opportunity to break out."

Shen Zhaoning frowned: "No! It's too dangerous for you to stay."

Cheng Yuwei shook her head: "The chances of us breaking through together are even smaller. I can create chaos, but you must bring back the news alive!"

Shen Zhaoning's eyes darkened, but he didn't refute. He knew Cheng Yuwei was right, but he couldn't hide his anger and resentment in his heart: "Be careful."

Cheng Yuwei nodded, took a deep breath, and clenched the smoke bomb in her hand.

"Humph, it seems you are discussing your last words?" The enemy raised his gun impatiently, "In that case-"

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Yuwei suddenly pulled the trigger on the smoke bomb. Thick white smoke instantly filled the entire area, and the enemy was in a panic.

"Hurry up!" Cheng Yuwei shouted, then picked up a wooden stick and hit the enemy beside her. Shen Zhaoning took the opportunity to rush out from the north. He moved quickly and led several subordinates to quickly escape from the battlefield.

Cheng Yuwei took advantage of the enemy's confusion and kept changing her position under the cover of smoke. She was familiar with the terrain and moved flexibly, making it difficult for the enemy to find the target for a while.

"Quick! Block the exit! Don't let them run away!" the enemy leader roared angrily.

Cheng Yuwei panted, hiding behind a wooden box. She fumbled for a discarded dagger and silently prayed that Ling Xiaotian would arrive in time.

Ling Xiaotian's actions

Meanwhile, Ling Xiaotian had already learned of the crisis at the Beishan warehouse through secret channels. Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately led his men to the warehouse at full speed.

"Cheng Yuwei must not be in any harm!" This was the only thought in his mind.

Ling Xiaotian's motorcycle sped past on the mountain road. His face was ashen, his eyes filled with unprecedented tension. He knew full well that the mastermind behind all this had already laid out a plan, perhaps targeting not just Cheng Yuwei and Shen Zhaoning, but the entire core of the Marshal's Mansion.

Desperate Counterattack

Inside the warehouse, the enemy had gradually restored order. They blocked all exits and approached Cheng Yuwei step by step.

Cheng Yuwei clenched the dagger in her hand, cold sweat oozing from her forehead, but her gaze remained resolute. Just as the enemy approached, she suddenly leaped from behind the wooden box and stabbed the nearest enemy with her dagger. The enemy was caught off guard and instantly felled.

"Catch her!" the leader roared, and the others immediately rushed forward.

Cheng Yuwei dodged swiftly, but was ultimately outnumbered and was subdued by several people.

"Finally caught him." The leader walked towards her with a sneer, "Madam, I advise you to cooperate obediently, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from afar. Immediately afterwards, a group of men rushed into the battlefield like a gust of wind, led by none other than Ling Xiaotian!

"Kill without mercy!" Ling Xiaotian shouted coldly, and fired accurately with the gun in his hand, and the enemy was instantly in chaos.

"Xiaotian!" Cheng Yuwei's eyes became slightly moist when she saw him.

Ling Xiaotian quickly rushed to her side, untied her restraints, and protected her behind him: "It's okay, I'm here."

His words were calm and powerful, which made Cheng Yuwei feel relieved and her tense mood finally eased.

After a fierce battle, all the enemies were defeated and peace returned to the warehouse.

After the crisis

After returning to the Marshal's residence, Cheng Yuwei sat in the study, her face still pale. Ling Xiaotian gently held her hand and said, "Yuwei, it was my negligence that put you in danger this time. From now on, I will never let you face such a situation alone again."

Cheng Yuwei looked into his eyes and said softly, "Xiaotian, I don't regret it. This is our battle, and I am willing to bear it with you."

Ling Xiaotian's heart moved, and he couldn't help but hold her in his arms: "You are the most important person in my life."

The two of them snuggled together quietly, a moment of tenderness soothing the thrill and trauma brought by the crisis. However, they both knew that the real mastermind behind the incident had yet to surface, and a bigger storm might be coming.
