Chapter 341 Protect Her

Everyone gathered on the fourth floor, and a sense of oppressive tension filled the air.

Lu Sheng's gaze fell on the device in Shen Li's hand, his tone tinged with inquiry: "What is this?"

Shen Li raised his hand and waved the instrument in his hand, explaining, "It's an infrared detector, a gift from a friend."

Professor Li, who was standing nearby, came over upon hearing this, his eyes filled with amazement: "This thing is so advanced! I've been here for so long, how come I've never heard of such a thing before?"

Shen Li coughed awkwardly and vaguely replied, "It should be for internal use only, and it's still in the confidential stage, so outsiders naturally don't know."

Although Professor Li had doubts, he didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded: "Perhaps."

Lu Sheng glanced at everyone present, quickly making calculations in his mind.

They had eleven people on their side, while the other side had five, giving them a clear numerical advantage.

His face darkened, and he suddenly spoke: "We must act quickly. They have cell phones; if we delay any longer, they might call for reinforcements, and then we'll be trapped."

Shen Li's heart tightened. The word "rescue" made her tense up instantly, and she felt even more that she could not delay.

She stared down at the detector screen and said rapidly, "There are enemies to the east and west. We'll break through to the north!"

The third brother suddenly stepped forward, his tone tinged with concern: "But our cars are all parked on the east side! If we go from the north, we can't get far on foot, and we'll be caught sooner or later."

The fifth brother quickly chimed in, "Yes, Sister Shen, this won't work!"

Shen Li hesitated for two seconds, then gritted his teeth: "Then we have no choice but to force our way in and take them down quickly."

Lu Sheng looked at the third brother and said decisively, "The two of us will go ahead and clear the way."

Then he turned to Professor Li and Shen Li and instructed them, "You two follow behind and be careful."

Shen Li turned to Zhao Qing and instructed, "You walk alongside your elder brother and assist him."

Zhao Qing nodded readily: "Okay."

Ming Xiangyang silently stood beside Shen Li without moving an inch.

The group quickly adjusted their positions, protecting Shen Li and the elderly Professor Li in the middle of the group.

Fortunately, Shen Li's drone transmitted images in real time, and with the help of the infrared detector, the other party's whereabouts were completely exposed, leaving them with no way to hide.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Sheng and his group used the advantage of the detector to take care of the five opponents one by one.

No one dared to linger and quickly left the scene. When they counted the number of people, they discovered that there were eleven people in total, including Professor Li.

There were two cars parked in the parking lot. Shen Li walked quickly to the three cars left behind by the other party, quickly searched them, and took out all the usable supplies and stuffed them into his own car.

The two vehicles started immediately, waiting for Shen Li to pack up the drone so they could leave.

Shen Li was bending down to put away the drone when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dense cluster of car lights in the distance out of the corner of her eye. Her heart sank – it's over.

She sat bolt upright and shouted at Lu Sheng's car in front, "Big brother, hurry! A large group of people are chasing us!"

In a moment of panic, Shen Li didn't even bother to pick up the drone. She turned around, rushed into the car, and urged the driver to speed away.

At this critical juncture, even a second's delay could be fatal.

After Shen Li got into the car, she found Professor Li in their car.

Originally, there were six people in the car, but since the car has seven seats, there's room for one more person.

They just hadn't figured out why Lu Sheng had let Professor Li ride in their car.

The two cars sped off one after the other. Before driving off, Lu Sheng glanced at Ming Xiangyang in the passenger seat and solemnly instructed her, "Protect her."

Ming Xiangyang nodded emphatically, his tone firm: "I will."

Then let Ming Xiangyang's car drive in front.

The two cars sped along for about half an hour, but the pursuers behind them were still closing in quickly.

When they reached a fork in the road, Ming Xiangyang suddenly turned the steering wheel, steered the car into the bushes beside the road, turned off the engine, and hid.

Shen Li frowned, staring at the fork in the road, her voice trembling, "Why didn't my older brother and the others come along?"

The carriage fell into dead silence instantly.

Shen Li's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly understood why Lu Sheng insisted on sending Professor Li to her car—he wanted to stay behind to cover their retreat.

She flung open the car door and tried to rush out, but there were three cars chasing her from behind, while Lu Sheng only had four people on his side. It was a dead end for them.

"Don't go! It's too dangerous!" Ming Xiangyang grabbed her arm, his voice urgent. "He risked his life to protect you, hoping you could leave safely with Professor Li."

Shen Li turned to look at Professor Li, who was pale-faced in the carriage. Her mind was filled with the dangers that Lu Sheng might encounter. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.

"Ming Xiangyang, I can't watch my brother die." She forcefully broke free from Ming Xiangyang's grasp and pushed open the car door.

"You take them and go first, I'll go back to rescue my brother." She had plenty of supplies in her spatial storage, so she was more agile on her own.

"Shen Li, stop! I'll go with you."

Ming Xiangyang turned to the other five people in the carriage and instructed them, "The four of you get out of the car and hide in the bushes to protect Professor Li. Shen Li and I will go to rescue him. We'll come back to you later."

He knew in his heart that this trip might be a death sentence, but he absolutely could not let Shen Li go into danger alone.

Zhao Qing immediately replied, "I'll go with you. Feng Ye will stay behind to protect Professor Li."

The brothers Mingcheng and Mingxing, who were standing next to Ming Xiangyang, exchanged a glance. Mingcheng, as the elder brother, said in a deep voice, "Mingxing, you and Fengye stay and guard Professor Li. I will go with our master."

Professor Li looked at everyone anxiously: "Why don't we all go together? More people means more help."

If all else fails, he will go back with them.

Although he wanted to live, he was heartbroken to see so many people die for him.

Neither can he.

"No," Shen Li refused decisively. "The information you have is of utmost importance; we cannot afford any mistakes."

After making the arrangements, Mingxing and Fengye led Professor Li into the thicket of grass, while Shen Li, Ming Xiangyang, Zhao Qing, and Ming Cheng drove off towards the pursuers.

They hadn't gone far when intense artillery fire erupted in the distance. Shen Lixin's heart leaped into her throat, and she shouted urgently to Ming Xiangyang, "Drive faster!"

They quickly caught up with the fighting vehicles.

Shen Li quickly deployed his forces: "Zhao Qing, you have two rocket launchers in the back seat. Try to take out the two pursuing vehicles! Mingcheng, aim at the tires of the vehicle in front and fire to force them to stop!"

"Understood!" Mingcheng nodded in response.

Shen Li had always known that men were often more talented in mechanical matters, and the Ming brothers' skills and firearms proficiency far exceeded her expectations.

The two quickly rolled down the car windows and leaned out from either side.

Zhao Qing moved swiftly and accurately, pulling the trigger and hitting a car tire with a single shot. Ming Cheng followed up with a second shot.

With a loud "bang," the car instantly went out of control and overturned into the ditch by the roadside.
