Chapter 645 - Missing (Part One)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu was not sure if Tang Shunian was dead, and she did not turn around to check. By now, he would have got many people guarding him and if she returned, she would be facing hundreds of bullets.

Also, before the mission, Jing Yichen had told her that the most important goal of this mission was not to kill Tang Shunian, but to keep herself safe.

It would be terrible if she was killed on the mission to kill Tang Shunian.

However, no matter what Jing Yichen said, Lu believed that she had failed the mission.

It was the first time for her to fail a mission, after she formally took up the position as a professional killer at the age of 16.

Most of the time when a killer was on a mission, he did not need to go back to see if that person was dead, because an excellent killer normally hit the target at one go rather than try a second attempt.

Also, the second attempt normally failed, because the opposite side became aware of the danger, and the mental status of the killer would be greatly affected too.

If a killer had to make sure that the target was killed each time, then that killer was basically disqualified, because luck was not always with a killer and killing people was a matter of ability, not lucky.

Failing the mission, Lu looked calm. She didn’t know whether she had failed or succeeded.

She had volunteered to undertake the mission this time but now the problem was that she was not sure if Tang Shunian was dead or not. He had been wearing a bullet-proof outfit and the bomb might not have taken his life. If that was the case, Jing Yichen would have to spend a lot of time and energy to confirm if Tang Shunian was dead or not.

Despite these thoughts, Lu did not get distressed. She was never emotionally affected and soon she tried to concentrate on things at hand. She could not get distracted now.

Lu was running in the complicated underground passages and was so fast that everyone who was running after her was startled by her speed whilst shooting at her.

A bullet went into her left shoulder and a plume of blood mist flew in the air, slowing Lu down.

A large number of people were gathered in front of her, blocking the passage.

She had only a few bullets left.

The bullet was causing her pain and blood loss, and Lu was turning pale.

She brought out the last bomb and tossed it in front of her.

Everyone in front of her became pieces of flesh, and the bomb threw Lu dozens of meters back.

Blood dripped out of Lu’s lips as her inner organs experienced the excruciating impact.

But before she was able to wipe away the blood on her lips, another loud sound arose in the underground passage.

The passages had been rigged with bombs, and igniting one would trigger others and make the area collapse. All the people who were running after Lu would die. But Lu would die with them as well. It did not matter if many people were sacrificed!

The 100-meter long passage was completely destroyed. All those 200 people who had been running after Lu were dead.

The passage was clogged and it was going to take a great deal of time and energy to find Lu!

Large-scaled machines could not get in under the passages and they could be dug out only manually.

But no one would be bothered to find Lu’s body, because no human could survive this.

…

As the shooting incident occurred in the underground mall of B City, the residents of the area panicked. The new mayor and the officer of the Public Security Bureau showed up and said that they would definitely find the murderer and make sure that locals could live a steady and happy life.

As for the crime scene, the underground mall was locked up and the police were busy searching for the incident and the cause.

The shooting incident in the underground mall made sure that the overground mall was closed too.

What was more, the staff were not allowed to go to work any longer, nor did the customers dare to go shopping.

The twenty men Jing Yichen sent out to meet Lu were all elites and Knife Lee, who had been waiting for Lu outside the mall for one whole day, lost connection with Lu at around 2 am on the third day.

In order to make sure Lu was safe, Knife Lee and Lu talked every one hour. At 1:30 a.m, Lu had reported to them that Tang Shunian had been found, but at 2:30 a.m when Knife Lee tried to speak with Lu again, she gave no response.

He waited for half an hour and tried to connect with her again, because sometimes she could not reply whilst in the important fight, and the underground signal had been too bad for them to stay in touch all the time.

After three failed attempts with Lu, Knife Lee felt that something was wrong.

Despite the late hours, Knife Lee called Jing Yichen.

Jing Yichen had not been sleeping but was waiting for the news.

Knife Lee instantly recounted the situation to Jing Yichen. Jing Yichen said calmly, “Alright, stay there. Don’t follow her into the underground. Try connecting with her every ten minutes.”

An hour later, Jing Yichen reached the underground mall personally with a helicopter.

Tiger, who had recovered too, followed Jing Yichen. Together with dozens of men, they entered the underground passage.

He had sent Lu here, and Jing Yichen felt that he had the responsibility to see if she was alive or dead.

Knife Lee had reported to him about the trembling experienced under the ground sometime back, and that he lost touch with Lu after the bombing.

When Jing Yichen brought the men down, the passages were empty and those who saw them coming, killed themselves, leaving no chance for them to question anyone.

After they walked for a long while and made several turns, they found a big pile of rocks blocking them, under which, there were several corpses.
