Chapter 1464 Unidentified Armed Intruders

"Off you go." The woman in a floral dress waved the couple away.

A team of fully armed men surrounded them and began to lead them into the mountain. Father Mao gave one last look at the woman in a young floral dress. His eyes shook and he quickly turned his head forward.

He had already seen what the younger woman looked like before without dark sungla.s.ses, but he would never get used to it no matter how many times he saw it.

She had an uncanny resemblance to Iris Long except for the eyes. Iris Long had bright, mesmerizing phoenix eyes while the woman in a floral dress had cold, sinister eyes.

When Iris Long looked at people, it felt like she was enchanting them.

The other woman, on the other hand, made people feel like they were being stared at by a cold and venomous reptilian creature.

Maybe that was why the woman in a floral dress always wore big, dark sungla.s.ses to conceal her eyes. From the nose down, she resembled Iris Long. But when she showed her eyes, it felt like an instant crack in the mirror. The fantasy was destroyed. The fake immediately became apparent.

Despite his thoughts, Father Mao didn't dare to comment about the younger woman's appearance. He didn't want to die yet. At least, not before rescuing his daughter from jail and getting revenge for the downfall of his family.

If the woman in a floral dress was the devil, then he would gladly become her minion as long as he could avenge his daughter and family.

But he could only accomplish all that by obeying the younger woman who had an uncanny resemblance with one of his daughter's enemiesIris Long.

Although they held a bigger grudge against Long Hui and the mother of his b.a.s.t.a.r.d child, Jiang Ying Yue, Iris Long wasn't innocent either.

If not for Iris Long's support, Jiang Ying Yue and her b.a.s.t.a.r.d child would never have the capability to defend themselves against his daughter, Mao Qiuyue. Thus, Iris Long was also included in their list of people who they wanted revenge on.

Because of all of them, his daughter, Mao Qiuyue, was jailed and about to be sent to prison. They already bailed out their daughter before, but Long Hui sued them as well, adding to her charges. They could only watch helplessly as the police arrested their daughter.

Father Mao and Mother Mao weren't off the hook either.

After his company's collapse, he was also due to be arrested with multiple charges. His wife was also considered as an accomplice.

It was only because the young woman in a floral dress claimed that she helped delay their trial that the couple was about to stay out of prison. Because of her, they could still hope for a reversal of their fortunes. But only if they did the younger woman's bidding.

Father Mao released a sigh that seemed to contain all his dreams and hopes for revenge. He mentally shook his head to rid himself of useless thoughts. He and his wife had a mission today.

They needed to accomplish it or else.

He glanced at the fully armed men surrounding them and leading them deeper into the mountain.

Or else they would be dead.

There wasn't even a need to question it.

Of course, he and his wife would do it.

Even if they had to walk all over the corpse of a child.

Back to the present, Lu Zihao's eyes constricted as he saw two additional thermal images through his night-vision goggles.

The two thermal images were that of adults. They entered the room where the thermal image of the child was located. The next few scenes were too gruesome for normal people.

Lu Zihao was not a normal person and neither were his subordinates, but they were still angered by what they saw. Although what they were seeing were only thermal images, the violence was still very clear for everyone to see.

Those with sharp hearing like Lu Zihao could hear the faint cries of pain, desperation, and terror from the child.

"Big Brother, please!" Iris' urgent voice begged him through his in-ear phones.

Lu Zihao's jaw clench. "Engage"

"Danger," Bacon warned all of them, interrupting his uncle's command. "Unidentified armed intruders detected. Danger."

Lu Zihao whipped his head around and scanned their surroundings. Before anyone could react, he raised his gun and shot several times. He saw several thermal images collapse to the ground after he shot them.

His subordinates weren't too slow either. They followed suit and exchanged gunshots with the unidentified enemies. Some of his subordinates were also shot, but they didn't collapse.

Thanks to Bacon's timely warning, they held the advantage.

"Teams 3 and 4 engage the intruders. Teams 1 and 2 follow me to rescue the child. Team 5 secure our escape route."

"Roger!"

"Roger, Boss Hao!"

Lu Zihao moved through the mountain forest toward the patched up shelter like a panther in the night. He and subordinates coordinated like a pack, moving in unison as if they shared one central brain.

The unidentified armed intruders attempted to block their way but Teams 3 and 4 covered for them.

Bullets rained from all direction. The once peaceful mountain forest turned into a warzone in an instant.

The wild animals fled. Some even got caught in the crossfire and died just like that.

Lu Zihao was in his element and so were his subordinates. But surprisingly, the unidentified intruders caught up to their level.

He was surprised for a moment but quickly adjusted his frame of mind back to cold calmness as he shot down all the enemies standing in his way to rescue his sister's G.o.dson and his wife's nephew.

The kidnappers were the first ones to try fleeing as soon as the crossfire started, but they had no idea that the other party was in an entirely different league from small-time crooks like them.

"Leave a couple of them for the police and the rest for us to interrogate," Lu Zihao commanded.

"Roger, Boss Hao."

A kidnapper died a few feet away from him. He scowled and shot the one who shot the kidnapper.

"Don't let these unidentified b.a.s.t.a.r.ds kill all the kidnappers," he added.

"Roger!"
