Chapter 154 Wait for My Call

Everything happened so suddenly.

Chu Yuxuan, originally in a gloomy mood and lost in thoughts about the past, had just rounded a bend after descending a hill when suddenly, two muscular Hummers came speeding toward him. Without a word, the people inside started shooting at him.

Fortunately, Chu Yuxuan was quick to react. He pulled the handbrake, skidded the car to a stop in the middle of the road, and simultaneously opened the door to dive out. He crouched beside the front of the car, using the engine and wheels as cover to dodge the intense gunfire from the attackers.

In movies, you often see characters using car doors to block bullets, but in reality, most cars are about as effective as cardboard against firearms, let alone a GTR, which is designed for speed and weight reduction. The car body, except for the wheels and engine, can't stop bullets.

This was only with handguns; if they were facing AK-47s or other high-power assault rifles, even the wheels wouldn't last long.

Despite having a gun, Chu Yuxuan was initially hesitant to expose himself due to the overwhelming firepower. Looking back, he saw the lights getting stronger at the mountain road curve, indicating that the Fourth and Fifth had arrived.

Moments later, the gunfire decreased sharply, signaling that the attackers were reloading. Seizing the opportunity, Chu Yuxuan lay on the ground, angled his body, and fired two shots through the GTR's window, killing one attacker. He then quickly pulled back.

The purpose of this was to demonstrate that he was armed and skilled, which would serve as a deterrent, making the attackers hesitate and buy time for the Fourth and Fifth to provide backup.

In a life-or-death struggle, every second counted.

Indeed, even though some of the attackers had gotten out of their vehicles, they didn't dare to charge recklessly. Instead, they suppressed Chu Yuxuan with gunfire while slowly advancing.

Chu Yuxuan saw a pair of legs from under the car and shot the person, then immediately fired another shot to the head. From the hand movements and reactions of the attackers, it was clear they were not professional gunmen but rather petty gangsters.

Just then, the Raptor roared onto the scene, drawing all the fire towards it.

Seeing Chu Yuxuan safe, the Fourth, though it was expected, still breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the Fifth reached the back seat and retrieved two M16 rifles—local specialties sent from his hometown, which, while common abroad, were rare in China.

After getting the guns, the Fourth handled the situation similarly to Chu Yuxuan. He stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road before it reached the scene, turned off the headlights, and then both brothers jumped out and started shooting.

For them, this scale of gunfight was a minor affair. The Fifth's face showed no sign of panic, let alone the ruthless man.

With the firepower support, Chu Yuxuan finally caught his breath and began to counterattack.

The three brothers worked in perfect coordination. With the two M16s blazing, the situation changed instantly, and the attackers no longer dared to show themselves. Under such intense fire cover, Chu Yuxuan also started to make his move, shooting out the attackers' car lights and then "spotting the troops"—firing one shot and then changing positions. The Fourth had turned off the headlights to help Chu Yuxuan stay hidden in the darkness.

The attackers felt as if a ghost was picking them off one by one, almost every shot hitting the head. Whenever they tried to counter, the ghost had already vanished, reappearing from another direction, making it impossible to defend.

Soon, the gunfire diminished to sporadic bursts.

The Fourth threw down the M16, drew a pistol and a curved knife, and charged forward like a leopard. Seeing this, Chu Yuxuan deliberately exposed himself to attract the remaining attackers. Almost simultaneously, the Fourth had reached the back of a Hummer, swiftly severing the hand of one attacker at the wrist and then pressing the gun against another's forehead.

Amidst the heart-wrenching screams, the Fourth, expressionless, murmured, "Control."

Chu Yuxuan put away his gun and walked towards the Fourth. The Fifth shot each of the seven bodies on the ground to ensure no survivors. "Who sent you?" Chu Yuxuan's gaze was cold as he glanced at the disarmed gunman before questioning another. The gunman, held at gunpoint by the Fourth, trembled and replied, "I...I'm just a small fry, I don't know anything!"

Chu Yuxuan smirked. "Seems like you're scared stiff and have lost your memory?"

He glanced at the Fourth.

The Fourth immediately grabbed the gunman whose hand he had severed, then turned the knife and began hacking at him, causing blood to splatter everywhere!

The kneeling gunman watched as fingers, ears, and chunks of flesh fell in front of him. His pupils dilated, and his pants were soaked as he started to gag.

By the time the Fourth had hacked the gunman to death, Chu Yuxuan kicked the only survivor, who was terrified beyond belief, and mockingly asked, "Feeling better now? Remember anything?"

The intense fear made it hard for the gunman to breathe. Covered in cold sweat, he stuttered, "I...I can't say, if I do, I'll die!"

Seeing him still stubborn, the Fourth bent down, raising the curved knife to strike again.

"Xue Can! It's Xue Can!" the gunman cried out.

Chu Yuxuan sighed. Actually, when he noticed that these gunmen were not professionals, he had suspected Xue Can and the remnants of the Ye family. The gang from ten years ago wasn't this incompetent.

Just now, knowing his two brothers were close by and considering his own injuries, he didn't see the need to take unnecessary risks. Otherwise, handling these nine low-level gangsters alone would have been manageable for him.

Seeing the questioning look from the Fourth, Chu Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "Keep him alive. He's useful."

He then took out his phone and dialed Chu Zhiqing.

"Hello, son?" Chu Zhiqing's voice was sleepy, as if he had already gone to bed.

"You need to tell me about the Xue family. That damned parasite doesn't seem like a cooperative kid... I don't quite understand where I offended him, so I want to ask."

Chu Zhiqing was immediately stunned. "He's causing trouble for you again?"

Chu Yuxuan smiled faintly. "Trouble? Haha... Not really. He just sent nine gunmen to kill me."

Chu Zhiqing was silent for a long time, then said grimly, "Wait for my call!"

After hanging up, the Fifth frowned and pointed at Chu Yuxuan's back. "Big Brother, the wound has opened. We should go to the hospital."

Chu Yuxuan nodded and looked at the nearby Raptor. "Is the car alright?"

The Fifth replied, "There are many bullet holes on the body, but it should still run."

Chu Yuxuan smacked his lips, looking at the two Hummers, and muttered, "These muscle cars can take a hit. We should get a few ourselves to play with tomorrow... Fourth, take this guy with us."

The Fourth agreed and, ignoring the gunman's pleas, tied his hands together with the curved knife to prevent any tricks. Then he drove the Raptor over and shoved the man into the back seat.

At the same time, the Fifth removed the license plates from the GTR.

After finishing all this, the three of them got into the car. After driving a short distance, Chu Yuxuan took out his gun and fired several shots at the GTR's fuel tank.

"Boom!"
