Chapter 285: Gunfight (1)_1
However, Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao were all calm, not at all frightened by the bullets. The three exchanged looks, their eyes filled with unwavering determination. Today, no matter what, they were resolved to protect Situ Xin.
Situ Xin hadn’t noticed the exchange of glances among the three. At that moment, she released her Divine Sense and gradually enveloped the car and its surroundings.
"Who has such deep pockets to hire three or four mercenaries?" Situ Xin’s face looked extremely ugly as she spoke, while thinking about possible suspects in her mind. She believed that these mercenaries were definitely her adversaries’ doing. "Uncle Sun, don’t panic, steady the car and speed up. Once we drive out of this place, we should be alright." The mercenaries’ ambush was set up in a small grove they passed through every day on their way to school, where few people usually walked.
After passing through this grove, there would be more people ahead. And based on Situ Xin’s understanding of these mercenaries, they wouldn’t expose themselves just to complete their mission; if unsuccessful, they would wait for another opportunity to strike.
Once past this incident, Situ Xin wasn’t worried about these mercenaries at all. Comparing these mercenaries with her Dark Division and the elite of Dragon Society was like comparing apples to oranges. It wasn’t that Situ Xin was currently afraid of these mercenaries. Although she knew that her brother, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao had good backings, they lacked the kind of real combat experience that these mercenaries, who lived off the blood on their hands, had.
Xiao Muli, on the other hand, was tightly pursing his lips, his hands clenched together. He was enveloped in an aura of murderous intent.
Upon hearing Situ Xin’s instructions, the driver, Uncle Sun, took a deep breath and prepared to slam on the gas pedal. "Uncle Sun, wait," Situ Xin said, using her Divine Sense to monitor the outside situation. As Uncle Sun was about to press the accelerator, one of the mercenaries seemed to sense their intentions and fired at the car’s tires.
And just as Situ Xin finished speaking, a loud "bang" was heard. The tire burst.
