Chapter 290 I Want to Stand Someone Up!

 

Two people against fifty, it would be good enough not to be surrounded, yet they’re thinking about surrounding the others?

If they had planted some timed bombs in this factory beforehand, perhaps there might have been some chance of victory, but now it seems that these two people don’t even have firearms, so how could they possibly win? It’s completely a fantasy!

“In this world, you can lose everything except the desire for victory.” Su Rui seemed to see through Nightingale’s thoughts, patted her shoulder, and said meaningfully.

“Desire for victory?” How could Nightingale, who had rarely experienced life-and-death struggles, understand Su Rui who constantly lived on the edge of danger?

Only those who have experienced true life-threatening danger would understand how intense that desire can be.

At this moment, Nightingale was completely unaware that the man she had repeatedly vowed to kill just a day ago was now holding her in his arms and patting her shoulder.

“Because of Wang Feizhi, Cuiping Mountain lost a lot of face. Do you think your master doesn’t hate these five great families? Although he was invited down from the mountain by those old guys back then, it was also because of some unclear interests between the two sides. If we wipe out the other side tonight, when the news reaches Cuiping Mountain, I guess the entire mountain will be celebrating!”

“Nightingale, no matter how I try to motivate you before battle, it won’t help.” Su Rui patted her shoulder and said, “Remember, let the battle flow in your blood!”

Since he had returned to China, and since he had made up his mind, Su Rui didn’t plan to let the five great families off the hook!

After all, they weren’t planning to spare Su Rui either, so both sides might as well show their skills. An elephant might not necessarily crush a mouse, but a mouse could possibly climb up the elephant’s trunk and eat its brain marrow!

Although this metaphor wasn’t quite appropriate, and Su Rui didn’t want to be a mouse, it undoubtedly clearly reflected his mood!

Although the door of the Mercedes-Benz van was open, no one came out. Mai Taishan still sat steadily in the back seat with his eyes closed.

His hair had turned completely white, his beard reached down to his chest, and he wore a black robe, looking somewhat like an immortal.

Li Xuan was bowing and inviting him, but Old Master Mai completely ignored him, not even giving him a glance.

“The time has not come. If that rebel Su Rui is truly not dead, then I will make my move. It’s not too late.” Mai Taishan said calmly with his eyes closed, “If he’s dead, so be it. If he’s not, he won’t leave alive from under my hand today. What happened five years ago will not happen again.”

After speaking, Mai Taishan opened his eyes, and two cold beams shot out like lightning!

His gaze was so sharp, completely unlike what an old man of his age should possess!

Under such a gaze, Li Xuan felt cold all over, but Old Master Mai’s words undoubtedly gave him reassurance! With him here, even if Su Rui came, he wouldn’t stand a chance!

“How long until the appointed meeting time?” Mai Taishan asked.

“In response to Old Master Mai, the meeting time is set for tomorrow at three in the afternoon,” Li Xuan said respectfully.

“Preparing in advance, being ready for any situation—this point, you’ve done very well.”

Hearing Mai Taishan’s praise, Li Xuan trembled with excitement! Everyone in the Nangong family knew that Old Master Mai rarely praised people. Even Nangong Shun had never heard direct praise from Mai Taishan!

“Thank you for your guidance, Old Master Mai!” Li Xuan continued to bow, his face showing delight!

Mai Taishan closed his eyes and said, “There are still more than ten hours. Take your time to prepare, practice several formations and tactics. When the time comes, bring me over.”

With Old Master Mai’s personal instructions, Li Xuan naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. Plus, this operation was related to his future career, so he wouldn’t make even the slightest mistake. At this moment, his body was bent at a ninety-degree angle as he shouted loudly, “Farewell, Old Master Mai! We will not fail your expectations!”

The forty-nine subordinates shouted in unison, “Farewell, Old Master Mai!”

To show the appropriate spirit, these forty-nine people shouted with thunderous voices!

With this, even if Su Rui didn’t want to hear, he couldn’t avoid it!

“Mai Taishan! So it’s you who came!”

Leaning against the wall, muttering this name, a flash of coldness passed through Su Rui’s eyes!

He finally knew who was behind today’s events!

The Nangong family!

Five years ago, when Su Rui attacked the Nangong family, he encountered the blockade of Mai Taishan and other masters. But even with so many experts pursuing and blocking him, Su Rui still managed to cripple Nangong Yao!

But at the same moment the military dagger pierced through Nangong Yao’s lung, Su Rui was also injured by Mai Taishan from the side, breaking two ribs!

This grudge had been established five years ago!

Half an hour after the Mercedes-Benz van left, Su Rui coldly said, “Let’s move. Kill them all.”

Fifty people, all to be killed?

Looking at Su Rui who seemed to be talking about something very ordinary, Nightingale’s heart trembled. She wasn’t afraid of killing and had killed before, but this time they were going to kill fifty people, which was a bit hard for her to accept.

“You might be nervous now, but once the killing starts, you won’t be afraid of anything.”

Su Rui whispered in Nightingale’s ear, “I know what you’re worried about. The Nangong family has a tradition of secretly recruiting fugitives with murder cases to serve them. The old master of Nangong used to do this, and Nangong Shun has definitely inherited this tradition well.”

It had to be said that Su Rui’s analysis was spot on!

“Don’t feel any guilt about killing these people!” Su Rui clenched his fist at Nightingale, while making a beheading gesture with his other hand across his neck!

Nightingale nodded. After Mai Taishan left, her confidence had been restored, at least she wasn’t as nervous as before.

“I have one more question,” Nightingale hesitated and said, “Why not wait until Mai Taishan leaves for a bit longer? That way we would have enough time to act.”

“Have you forgotten where we are?” Su Rui said, while lying on the wall watching Li Xuan directing his subordinates to move things, “Jinming Development Zone, less than an hour’s drive from the center of Jinshan City. It’s night now, with no traffic jams, so Mai Taishan has probably already arrived at a hotel in the city center. Even if we wait longer, it won’t help, because once he gets the news, Mai Taishan will definitely appear within half an hour.”

Hearing this, Nightingale fell silent. In such a combat environment, being able to calculate time so precisely—Su Rui was streets ahead of her.

“You don’t need to be nervous about Mai Taishan. He can’t be compared to that old bastard, your master. They’re not in the same league.”

“Old bastard?” Hearing these words, Nightingale’s eyebrows furrowed.

At this point, Su Rui sneered, “If Mai Taishan wasn’t so arrogant, how would he give us the opportunity to wipe out all these people? Even if he gets the news and rushes over, it will take at least half an hour, and that’s enough time for us!”

Su Rui couldn’t help but feel some regret that they didn’t bring more people this time. Otherwise, they could have taken out Mai Taishan with 100% certainty, dealing the heaviest blow to the Nangong family!

Once this old man dies, the Nangong family’s greatest support would be gone!

At that point, it would mark the beginning of the Nangong family’s accelerated downfall!

Su Rui looked at Nightingale beside him and said, “Let’s begin.”

Nightingale nodded, her eyes showing determination, “I’ll go kill the leader first.”

She was referring to Li Xuan.

“No, keep him alive, don’t kill him. We’re counting on this guy to inform Mai Taishan! Among the fifty people here, only he has the qualification to contact Mai Taishan! Otherwise, even if we kill everyone here, Mai Taishan wouldn’t know!”

Nightingale was somewhat surprised, surprised by Su Rui’s determination, “You don’t really intend to kill him, do you?”

“Are you still doubting my intentions?”

With that, Su Rui’s figure moved like lightning, flipping over the wall and merging into the vast darkness!

Nightingale stared at his back and said softly, “Why did you teach me so much? What exactly is your purpose?”

Whatever Su Rui’s purpose was, it didn’t seem to have any downsides for Nightingale at the moment.

…

Li Xuan was carrying the heaviest burden today, with all of Nangong Shun’s hopes resting on his shoulders. Actually, Li Xuan had a bit of a private agenda now. The secret guards he brought had been strictly trained for several years and were considered Nangong Shun’s personal elite. If possible, he hoped to kill Su Rui or Wang Feizhi before Mai Taishan arrived, so that he could claim half the credit!

“All guns, attach silencers!”

Li Xuan stood in the center of the field and shouted, “We’ll follow the previous arrangement and start practicing positions. Everyone get ready to enter preparation mode!”

At Li Xuan’s command, the forty-nine subordinates instantly scattered, looking for their respective covers!

Li Xuan had racked his brains for the arrangement of these forty-nine people!

Except for leaving fifteen people in the center of the field, the remaining twenty-four all hid in the factories and office buildings, including some snipers. Each person had a gun, along with short knives and daggers!

The equipment in these four factory buildings was intact, providing the best cover. Li Xuan understood that he had to utilize all the terrain. If Su Rui was killed by Wang Feizhi, that would be good, but if he dared to come for revenge alone, he would definitely be the one to suffer!

Li Xuan had studied both the factory buildings and office buildings thoroughly, knowing exactly which places were suitable for cover and which were suitable for launching attacks!

He was really giving it his all to succeed in moving up the ranks!

“Good, when the time comes, you fifteen will stand here with me waiting to inspect the goods. The four snipers, aim at your targets. If Su Rui really appears, as soon as you hear my cough in the earpiece, shoot without hesitation!”

“Yes!”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill him, as long as you force him into any of the factory buildings with bullets!” At this moment, Li Xuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of being in command, “Actually, this is very simple. There’s no cover in the open area, so to avoid bullets, Su Rui will definitely run into a factory building! Then it will be up to the other brothers!”

“No matter which factory building Su Rui enters, everyone immediately converge on the target, forming a surrounding!” Li Xuan rarely had this feeling of having great authority and shouted, “Also, everyone cover your faces with camouflage paint to prevent reflection! We’re not special forces, but we’re better than them!”

Unfortunately, despite Li Xuan’s passionate speech, all of his arrangements had been overheard by Su Rui.

At this moment, Su Rui was lying on top of the factory building, looking at Li Xuan with a mocking expression, saying, “The arrangements are quite thorough, but how do you know I’ll definitely come? I really have an urge to stand you all up right now!”
