Chapter 2514: Chapter 2515: Hunter
âThat car doesnât seem right,â Sambalo whispered, his hand instinctively moving to his weapon.
âDonât panic just yet. Letâs observe the situation firstâit might just be someone passing through.â
Lin Yi squinted his eyes, his gaze locked on the rearview mirror with caution.
His instincts told him that anyone driving here was unlikely to be ordinary.
At the same time, Sambalo had already readied his gun, prepared to act at any moment.
âDrive the car away,â Lin Yi instructed.
âWeâre too close to the base. If weâre spotted, neither of us will make it out alive.â
The burly Sambalo realized the gravity of the situation. Although there was still some distance, being careful was the safest option.
Sambalo started the car, steering it gradually away from the base.
Lin Yi adjusted his seat, reclining slightly as he kept his eyes on the rearview mirror, monitoring every move of the vehicle behind them.
It would be best if this was just a misunderstanding. If not, they had to resolve it immediately.
Unfortunately, the car behind them kept tailing themâand whoever was inside was good.
After more than twenty minutes of driving, Sambalo still couldnât shake them off.
Lin Yiâs hand moved toward the gun beside him.
âFind a secluded spot to pull over. You get out to check, and Iâll stay in the car and look for an opportunity.â
âGot it.â
Sambalo, skilled and bold, found a deserted area to park the car.
The trailing Honda sedan also came to a stop.
What Lin Yi didnât expect was that after the car behind them parked, its driver stepped out.
Lin Yi was stunned!
The person who got out was none other than Zhang Long!
âRelax, heâs one of us,â Lin Yi said in surprise and delight.
Seeing Zhang Long here filled Lin Yi with a surge of emotion.
âOne of us?â
Sambalo looked puzzled, but Lin Yi didnât bother explaining further. He opened the car door and stepped out.
The two men stood about five or six meters apart. Lin Yi removed the disguise from his face, causing Zhang Longâs eyes to light up.
âTeam Leader Lin!â
Meeting here gave both men a feeling of having found each other after a long absence.
Without much ado, they embraced tightly, only separating after a long moment.
âWhy are you here?â
Lin Yi couldnât quite put his emotions into words.
To Lin Yi, Zhang Long was a very special person.
Ever since Liang Xianghe took him away, they hadnât seen each other.
And now, meeting again in this place, his excitement was beyond description.
âI arrived half a month ago. Elder Lu sent me to meet up with you here, but youâre too good at hidingâI couldnât find you,â Zhang Long said with a smile.
âIf Elder Lu hadnât provided some information, I might still be searching.â
Lin Yi glanced around. âLetâs go. This isnât the place to talkâget in your car first.â
âAlright.â
Soon after, Lin Yi called Sambalo over, and they all got into Zhang Longâs car, preparing to switch vehicles and leave.
After learning about Sambaloâs background, Zhang Long couldnât hide his admiration for Lin Yi.
In such a perilous situation, Lin Yi had managed to turn someone to his sideâand the person was even from the Halke Rangers.
This level of skill left Zhang Long deeply impressed.
âTeam Leader Lin, things are chaotic here, like a boiling cauldron. When are you planning to make your move?â Sambalo said while driving, and Zhang Long asked.
âWait a bit longer. Itâs not chaotic enough yet.â
Buzz, buzz, buzzâ
As they were talking, static crackled over the carâs radio.
âWe interrupt this broadcast for an important announcement: in light of recent events, we have decidedâŠâ
The three listened attentively to the broadcast, and a smile spread across Lin Yiâs lips.
Zhang Longâs eyes flickered with realization.
âTeam Leader Lin, is this the opportunity youâve been waiting for?â
âSmart,â Lin Yi praised.
âWeâre going to stir things up even more, stretch their forces thin until theyâre utterly exhausted!â
In Lin Yiâs eyes, Zhang Long caught a glimpse of something ruthlessâlike a beast about to leap into action.
The intensity in that gaze made oneâs heart tremble.
âWhere to next?â Zhang Long asked.
âThe nearest Police Hall. Weâre hitting it,â Lin Yi replied.
Before long, Sambalo drove the car to the closest Police Hall and parked it in the shadows.
âIâll handle this. Your identity is too sensitiveâyou canât afford to be exposed,â Zhang Long said.
âNo way. Itâs too dangerous for you to go alone.â
âDonât worry. I know what Iâm doing. My mission is to protect you; I canât let you risk yourself.â
Saying this, Zhang Long stepped out of the car immediately, not giving Lin Yi a chance to object.
About twenty minutes later, Zhang Long returned to the car.
âDone. Letâs go!â
Sambalo started the car at once, and within minutes, they noticed flames rising from the back of the building.
Soon after came frantic shouts as people struggled to extinguish the fire. But the flames grew stronger, and putting them out seemed nearly impossible.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the other two casually drove away.
âWhatâs the matter? Breaking a sweat?â Lin Yi asked with a chuckle.
âBrazenly setting fires and killing peopleâitâs something Iâm still getting used to,â Zhang Long replied with a laugh.
âFeeling like youâre dancing on the edge of a blade?â
âDefinitely an adrenaline rush.â
âThis is just the beginning,â Lin Yi said.
âThings arenât chaotic enough yet. At this rate, if we donât escalate, leaving here will remain extremely difficult.â
âI get it,â Zhang Long said.
âRight now, everythingâs locked down. Itâs like a birdcageâif we donât create our own opportunities, weâll be trapped sooner or later.â
âEnough talking for now. Whatâs next?â Sambalo, still driving, asked.
âYou know where the Black Forestâs base is, donât you? Letâs go have a look.â
âYouâre planning to target them?â
Sambaloâs voice betrayed a hint of fear. Their previous targets had been smaller groups, less dangerous.
But now, going after the Black Forestâthat was enough to make Sambalo restless.
As a former Halke Ranger, he knew how formidable a group like the Black Forest could be.
This was playing with fire.
âOf course. We canât just pick and chooseâwe should be fair to everyone,â Lin Yi said.
âAre you sure you donât want to reconsider?â
âWhatâs there to reconsider?â Lin Yi said confidently.
âI managed to handle all four of you alone. The Black Forest isnât much different in skillânothing too dangerous. Just drive.â
âMadman.â
Grumbling under his breath, Sambalo stepped on the gas, heading toward the Black Forestâs base.
About three hours later, they arrived in Gunma Prefecture, stopping in front of what appeared to be an ordinary inn.
âTheir people are here,â Sambalo said, lighting a cigarette. âBut Iâm not sure if their main force is.â
âAre you certain their people are here?â
âThat much I can confirm.â
âGood enough,â Lin Yi said, gathering his equipment. âLetâs goâtime to work.â
The three of them, armed with prepared incendiary bottles, slipped out of the car under the cover of night, moving toward the inn.
Soon, flames roared to life. Thick smoke billowed into the sky as the four-story inn was engulfed, illuminated like a beacon in the dark night.
After successfully setting the fire, the three of them hid in separate corners.
They waited like hunters preparing to pounce on their prey.
