Chapter 14

As a 'scout', by definition, they hide in the dark, deeply probing the activities of the other side! Another alias for a scout is 'mountain hawk.' This guy's greatest strength is his incredible endurance, stealth, and observational skills! As a team member who can pair up with a problem-solving elite soldier, the capabilities of a scout are self-evident!

While Xiao Sheng was driving to the construction site and engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the 'motorcycle gang,' the 'scout' who already knew the outcome rushed to the incident site at the fastest speed, occupying a high ground for on-site reconnaissance and surveillance!

As a shadowy special forces member hidden in the darkness, his primary responsibility is to identify problems in the shortest time possible, report them immediately, and solve them when encountering emergencies!

Before Xiao Sheng jumped into the fire, the words he instructed made the 'scout' monitor Chen Shuyuan comprehensively. Because of the presence of the policewoman, the scout's operational range was relatively narrow, and he dared not approach the employer blindly! However, while the scout was patrolling in the darkness, a faint light from a building under construction next to the incident site caught his attention. As a special forces member with a high level of expertise in firearms, such a reflection could only come from a high-magnification scope. The situation was critical, and Xiao Sheng had just jumped into the fire to rescue the injured. In a hurry, the scout created a small panic, causing the people in front of the construction site to be in chaos. The crowd covered Chen Shuyuan from the other side's line of sight. Taking advantage of this moment, the agile scout quickly moved towards the opposite building, like a wild horse breaking free, using the night as cover to climb up.

The floor chosen by the other side was not very high, on the sixth floor of the partially constructed building, from where the entire construction site could be seen clearly, and a quick escape was possible. For such an experienced hand, the scout was very cautious, approaching quietly, drawing the silenced pistol hidden at his waist, and moving like a ghost through the construction site.

The building was a frame structure, and before the interior decoration, the entire sixth floor was visible! After the scout nimbly climbed to the sixth floor, the shadow hidden in the corner was exposed to him. At this moment, the other side had already prepared to fire. Just as he was about to shoot, the scout, who had a poor angle, fired directly. This sudden change made the cautious gunman very flustered. Years of being a killer made him sense the threat of death immediately. Without turning his head, he sidestepped, and the scout's bullet pierced his shoulder, causing a spray of blood. Knowing that the shot missed, the scout rushed towards the other side's escape route. However, as the scout ran over, the other side raised his silenced pistol with his left hand to block him!

The scout, who had rolled dozens of times on the open construction site, used the central pillar of the sixth floor as cover to hide his body. The other side's sharp shooting skills made the scout cautious!

Fearing that the other side would use the time he was hiding to escape, the scout gritted his teeth and rushed out. However, the other side's gun was already waiting for him. The sparks from the bullets hitting the ground and walls made the entire sixth floor construction site light up. The rolling scout struggled to counter and suppress the other side's shooting!

The other side was clearly an experienced hand. If the scout had not attacked from behind just now, it would have been difficult to determine the winner in a short time. Seeing that he could not kill the scout immediately and that his left shoulder was still bleeding, the killer, knowing he could not afford to waste time, fired a series of shots, shouldered his sniper rifle, and used a rope to quickly slide down to the side of the construction site. By the time the scout rushed over, he only saw the other side land and flee in a panic!

The scout, not daring to pursue blindly, feared missing the current situation. After seeing the fire at the construction site controlled from the sixth floor, the scout reported the situation to Xiao Sheng first! Hearing Xiao Sheng's counter-question, the scout quickly and accurately reported his position. Standing next to Chen Shuyuan, Xiao Sheng had a dark expression. The series of attacks tonight had already crossed Xiao Sheng's底线 (底线 means 'bottom line' or 'limits'). The plan to attack Chen Shuyuan with such disregard for consequences was something Xiao Sheng had not anticipated.

But now, Xiao Sheng did not dare to pursue recklessly. Chen Shuyuan's safety was the center of this mission. After quietly instructing the scout to carefully investigate the scene, Xiao Sheng turned around and said to Chen Shuyuan in a relaxed manner:

"Ms. Chen, shall we go home, or..."

From the conversation with Chen Shuyuan earlier, Wang Li already knew that Chen Shuyuan had been chased by the 'motorcycle gang' tonight. Although Chen Shuyuan had reported it to the police immediately, the police had not yet taken a statement or conducted an investigation. Wang Li, with a serious expression, looked at Xiao Sheng with some suspicion and asked directly:

"Comrade Xiao Sheng, do you already have new leads? If so, please cooperate with the police. We will do our best to solve the case as soon as possible..."

For the police, the attack on the CEO of Hongcheng Star Group, Chen Shuyuan, was a major incident at any time. Therefore, Wang Li was so alert and anxious in questioning Xiao Sheng.

"Officer Wang, you are overthinking it. If I had any leads, how could I not cooperate with the police? After all, catching criminals is your expertise," Xiao Sheng said, taking a small step back and standing behind Chen Shuyuan. Knowing that the other side was not being sincere, Wang Li could not react at this moment. She coldly looked at Xiao Sheng and still followed the procedure to take Chen Shuyuan and Xiao Sheng back to the police station for a statement and investigation.

The black Mercedes followed the police car to the Hongcheng police station. Sitting in the back seat, Chen Shuyuan looked tired. The events of tonight had already overturned her years of understanding. The endless tactics of the opponent made this CEO feel somewhat fearful.

"Don't worry, the investigation is underway, and the truth will soon be revealed. I promise..." Xiao Sheng turned his head slightly and gave Chen Shuyuan a bright smile, which made her feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, but why didn't you tell Officer Wang the truth just now? After all..."

"Some things are not as simple as they seem. These killers are not the kind that can be caught by those in uniform. Let the bad guys deal with the bad guys. Following their legal procedures, even if they find clues and investigate, it will be too late! After this incident, the other side knows they have been alerted and will definitely become more cautious. For now, you are safe, Ms. Chen. After all, you are living and eating with me. That alone will scare them for a while..." Hearing Xiao Sheng's jest, Chen Shuyuan smiled and looked out the window. Feeling tired, she leaned back in the seat, dozing off.
