The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

"Don't be afraid," Lin Chuan soothed. "Some things just can't go as desired. This matter is related to Chen Tianxiu's case."

"Is it the people from the Chen family who are causing trouble behind the scenes?" Miss Lan asked.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded and said, "That's why we should make it out alive from here. Let them know that Dark Soldier is unbending."

"Yes!" Miss Lan nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Lin Chuan handed his pistol to Miss Lan, saying, "Take this for self-defense."

"What about you?" Miss Lan was startled.

"I have this," Lin Chuan said, holding his sniper rifle.

A semi-automatic sniper rifle, it's the best weapon for short-range sniping, with a magazine that holds thirty rounds. This magazine capacity is more than enough to kill any close-range enemy. However, in this jungle, the semi-automatic rifle is the true king. It's just unfortunate that the rifle no longer has any bullets.

The two of them packed up, discarding some unneeded items, and only took some essential weapons for self-defense, then swiftly began their journey to leave the mountains.

Fifty kilometers wasn't too much of an issue for Lin Chuan. However, for Miss Lan, it was indeed a daunting challenge. Moreover, after last night's long trek, both of them had almost exhausted their physical strength. It seemed nearly impossible to traverse this fifty-kilometer distance during the day today.

After ten kilometers, Miss Lan started to pant heavily.

"Let's rest for a bit," said Lin Chuan, unable to bear it any longer as he saw Miss Lan turning pale from exhaustion, moving forward solely on willpower.

"Okay!" Miss Lan nodded and promptly collapsed to sit under a large tree. Leaning against the trunk, she closed her eyes and pulled down the zipper of her leather jacket.

"Are you injured?" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

"A little," Miss Lan answered, saying, "I was grazed by a bullet."

"Take off your clothes; I'll help you treat the wound," Lin Chuan said with a frown. "You should've told me earlier. If the wound gets infected, it'll be troublesome."

Miss Lan pursed her lips, said nothing, but obediently took off her clothes. In front of the team leader, she had no room to talk back. When it concerned life-threatening matters, she didn't dare to resist. She honestly removed her jacket and then unraveled the bandage wrapped around her chest. The bullet from the sniper rifle had grazed her left shoulder, and a touch from such a bullet often meant a chunk of flesh gone.

Lin Chuan didn't have the leisure to appreciate the turbulent scene in front of him. At that moment, all his thoughts were focused on treating Miss Lan's wound, with no trace of carnal desires.

Lin Chuan quickly found some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic herbs nearby, chewed them with his teeth, and applied the pulp to Miss Lan's wound.

Hiss...

Miss Lan immediately felt a sharp pain, which was immensely uncomfortable.

In the end, Lin Chuan wrapped the herbs with a piece of clothing, tied the two sleeves in front of her chest, and quickly secured the bandage. After all this, Lin Chuan found that Miss Lan had actually fallen asleep. He felt somewhat guilty for not having protected her well enough; he let her get injured and exhausted.

Despite the long journey, Miss Lan's face was still very clean. She paid great attention to her image regardless of where she was, determined not to let her appearance be compromised. Whenever she had a moment, she would immediately try to cleanse her face. Fair skin, slender eyelashes, pink plump lips—Lin Chuan gently caressed her red lips.

Whoosh...

With a leap, Lin Chuan quickly climbed up a tree. Sitting on a branch, he vigilantly scanned the surroundings. Any slight movement, he would immediately notice, and his sniper rifle was ready to shoot the enemy at a moment's notice.

The sun gradually rose, and the temperature in the air increased as well. Lin Chuan was already feeling the heat, which was making him somewhat drowsy.

About half an hour later, Lin Chuan immediately sensed something wrong. Standing on the tree, he could see the trees not far away occasionally shaking. Clearly, someone was approaching.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan swiftly jumped down from the tree.

"Xiao Lan, get up," Lin Chuan immediately said.

"What's happened?" Miss Lan quickly opened her eyes.

"Someone's coming," Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "We need to hide right now."

Frightened, Miss Lan leaped to her feet. Lin Chuan pulled her into the deeper parts of the jungle.

Soon, several men in black bulletproof vests charged out of the woods. They slowed their pace, and one of them quickly went to a nearby tree to check the surroundings, then said, "This way, they ran this way."

Hidden in the darkness, Lin Chuan and Miss Lan heard them loud and clear; they were speaking Chinese.

The three men advanced forward in a triangular formation.

"Take them down," Miss Lan said through clenched teeth.

Lin Chuan's sniper rifle was already in position.

Bang...

A crisp sound.

The leader was instantly shot in the back of the head, and his body fell heavily to the ground. The two men behind him quickly rolled out and took cover in the nearby jungle. Lin Chuan and Miss Lan moved swiftly through the underbrush, changing positions.

"Lin Chuan, I'll draw their attention, you take them down," Miss Lan gritted.

"Alright!" This time, Lin Chuan did not refuse. The girl had rested for half an hour and was full of energy. Moreover, in this jungle, it should be her world.

Miss Lan quickly advanced. She clenched her pistols in her hands, her eyes scanning the gaps in the jungle with grave intensity.

"Here!" someone on the opposing side shouted.

Ratatat...

Bullets crazily swept through the jungle, as if it were a rain of guns and bullets. Lin Chuan immediately loaded his rifle, then aimed for the lethal point of the enemy through the gaps in the leaves with his scope.

Bang...

Another bullet hit the opponent's neck.

The man was immediately thrown back by the tremendous force, and after hitting the ground, blood gushed unstoppably. He covered his neck, his body trembling and convulsing on the ground. Another man rolled over hurriedly, yelling, "Brother, don't die."

"Take... take care of my wife and kids!" After saying this, the man immediately passed away.

The only surviving man realized his life was in danger. Gritting his teeth, he quickly rolled into the jungle, crawling on the ground, vigilantly tracking the enemy's movement. This time, he planned to play a game of cat and mouse with the enemy.

But, who is the cat and who is the mouse now?

Lin Chuan and Miss Lan were two, and he was alone. In terms of numbers, he was at a disadvantage, and in terms of strength, he was definitely no match for Lin Chuan.

Miss Lan quickly moved closer to Lin Chuan.

"Capture him alive!" Miss Lan hurriedly said.

"Hmm!" Lin Chuan immediately put down his sniper rifle and gripped his dagger tightly instead.

The two split up again. Lin Chuan moved slowly through the jungle, his speed slow, but undetectable by the enemy. Coupled with Miss Lan deliberately making distracting noises deep in the jungle, the enemy was further confounded.

Two minutes later, Lin Chuan saw the two corpses, while the surviving one was hiding behind a clump of thorny bushes. His gun barrel was stuffed into the thorns, aiming through the gaps of the jungle at Xiao Lan.

Lin Chuan circled to the rear, approaching steadily.

Just as he was about to get close, the man seemed to sense something was wrong, rolling to the side quickly and drawing his pistol.

Whoosh...

The dagger in Lin Chuan's hand flew out, stabbing into the man's wrist. The pistol hit the ground. Lin Chuan leaped up like a carp vaulting over the dragon gate, swiftly stabbing at the man with his knife.

The man rolled again, swiftly evading Lin Chuan's attack.

Lin Chuan's movements were quick and fierce, but the man seemed not to be a pushover either.

Lin Chuan's repeated offensives were all dodged by the man, which left Lin Chuan somewhat surprised; even in a fight for life, someone was able to repeatedly dodge his attacks, and this was indeed astounding to Lin Chuan.

"Take this." The man's legs suddenly shot up, swiftly kicking at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan instinctively stepped back.

Unexpectedly, the man immediately took a trench knife from his leg and flung it hard at Lin Chuan's throat.

Crack...

Lin Chuan hastened to meet it with his dagger, and instantly blocked the man's trench knife. Feeling a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, Lin Chuan had not expected his attacks to be repeatedly blocked. He rushed forward, kicking ferociously at the man who then retreated several steps, finally creating some distance between them.

"Speak, who sent you?" Lin Chuan asked coldly.

"Humph, you don't need to know that," the man sneered. "In any case, your death is certain."

"Aren't we all branches of the same root? Why the hurry to harm each other?" Lin Chuan hummed lightly.

"Die!" The man was indeed skilled, at least in Lin Chuan's view; his speed and agility were not weak. If within China, he was undoubtedly a top-notch expert. Then, who could this person be? Could it be the unheard-of Poison Scorpion squad?

Poison Scorpion Squad, rumored to be the top experts in the country once. There are two elite military organizations in China, one is Dark Soldier, the other Poison Scorpion. Both organizations are under the control of the central leadership. Those who have the authority to mobilize these two teams are few. Apart from Chen Zhenlin, the commander of Beijing's military region, there was only the Chen family. The Chen family lacked the power to mobilize Dark Soldier, thus they could only dispatch the Poison Scorpion squad to deal with him.

Lin Chuan quickly figured all this out.

Lin Chuan laughed, "It seems you're with Poison Scorpion."

"You know too much," the man roared angrily, his punches and kicks intensifying.

Whoosh whoosh...

The fists in his hands buzzed past Lin Chuan's ears, feeling all too clear.

Once Lin Chuan got familiar with the man's tactics, he quickly caught the rhythm. The man's attacks were fierce and vigorous, but after Lin Chuan grew accustomed to his patterns, he soon found it much easier.
