Chapter 3, Ruthless and Merciless

"It was meant to be given to you, and besides, I have no bullets left." Liu Wei handed the pistol and dagger to Li Tingxuan

I do not want to do this, it is just... seeing Li Tingxuan not getting angry, the driver's mood calmed down a little.

The only person who can make someone in their fifties, like Li Tingxuan, refer to themselves as "little" must be someone very familiar.

The situation is quite awkward; those from MSS are not afraid of Li Tingxuan, but rather afraid of what Li Tingxuan refers to as K 1

This time, Liu Wei is set to break the record

Yes, I am on my way back now. Old Zhang, there is a bit of a problem, I am not sure...

Old Li, you are deeply aware of the greater good and would never engage in actions that harm the nation. This person is responsible for dozens of lives and has jeopardized our significant matters. If you continue to protect him, even heaven will not save him.

In the intelligence community, the law holds almost no binding power

With this point, no one dared to ignore Li Tingxuan's harsh words

More than thirty years ago, while still working in the field, Li Tingxuan ventured alone into the jungles of Vietnam to rescue his captured comrades. He spent seven days and nights eliminating an enhanced battalion of the Vietnamese army. After rescuing his comrades, he then spent another five days and nights carrying his injured comrade over more than five hundred kilometers of mountainous terrain, ultimately returning home alive.

"Stop!" Li Tingxuan shouted violently, halting a tragedy. "You go outside; without my orders, you are not allowed to enter. Liu Wei, put down the gun."

I will prepare breakfast for you

Moreover, "Li Tingxuan" is merely a code name; the Deputy Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau can activate another identity at any time if he wishes

Tian Jiyan, you ... ...

After the helicopter flew away, Li Tingxuan instructed the other two subordinates to clean up the scene

With a somewhat sarcastic remark, a middle-aged man came around from the front of the house, followed by Li Tingxuan's driver.

Taking out his phone, Li Tingxuan hesitated for a moment before dialing a special number at https://www.hetushu.com. After three beeps, Li Tingxuan did not hang up the call; instead, he dialed a regular number

"Damn it, let's go!" Li Tingxuan turned his back and waved his hand

Old Li, it has been fifteen years, and I have never asked you for anything

Li Tingxuan also feels regret; had he been a bit more cautious, he would not have fallen into Tian Jiyan's trap, and Liu Wei would not have ended up in the hands of MSS

Although the words had been shouted out, upon seeing the scene before him, Li Tingxuan knew that shouting was futile

You... you did this to him..." Faced with the bloody scene, Li Tingxuan's eyes were filled only with anger, devoid of shock

"Come here!" he called out to the driver, and Li Tingxuan walked towards the small wooden cabin

Before Liu Wei could start, a rhythmic buzzing sound came from outside the door

The gunshot rang out, and Tian Jiyan shuddered slightly

This was merely a moment of tranquility; by the time he saw Li Tingxuan raise the pistol, it was already too late for regret

His objective was to eliminate the K1 member who was getting closer to the truth, even using his six intelligence officers as bait, deliberately leaking information to set this nearly foolproof trap. However, he never anticipated that Li Tingxuan would receive the news and arrive in time

No matter how fast his movements are, they cannot surpass Liu Wei.

Li Tingxuan is so ruthless; how good can the soldiers he brings out be

"Kill him, dismember him into eight pieces, and shred his body into thousands of fragments." Liu Wei stood up, his tone astonishingly calm, sending chills down one's spine

Li Tingxuan's brows twitched a few times; he recognized both the seal and the signature, confirming that it was indeed the highest directive

Behind Liu Wei, Li Tingxuan fired a few shots haphazardly

The response to Li Tingxuan was not Liu Wei, but rather the sound of two gunshots, "puff puff"

The driver did not follow, feeling somewhat caught in a dilemma. "Director Li, I... I am not..."

"Damn it, your entire Liu family, from the elders to the young, all share the same character. Do you really think you can rebel against the underworld?"

Time is of the essence, and there is no opportunity to fabricate the scene; we can only make it appear as though the suspect has escaped

Putting down the phone, Li Tingxuan let out a sigh

This secret unit is even more mysterious than the legends. The events that have transpired in the past three months are sufficient to prove that the rumors are not mere fabrications, as the members of K 1 are indeed individuals who kill without a second thought

Before Li Tingxuan could respond, the call was disconnected

Liu Wei, etc.

Old Li, it is MSS. The driver appeared at the door but did not come in

If the driver had not been bribed, Liu Wei might have truly escaped

Tian Jiyan can guarantee that Li Tingxuan has at least a dozen backup identities in his possession, as he himself is the same way

Get lost

"Xiao Li, I heard you went to Xinjiang," came a very aged voice over the phone

"That was requested by my bastard father, it has nothing to do with me." Liu Wei's response was quite straightforward

What should be done, just do it

In this world, there is no one that K 1 cannot kill

As the cabin was engulfed by the raging fire, the Cherokee turned around on the gravel road, heading towards the town of Bullion County

The MSS was unable to apprehend Liu Wei, who committed murder, nor could it capture Liu Wei, who was fleeing for his life

By the time he turned to look at the front door, the driver who had come to deliver the message had already vanished without a trace

The driver had just reached under his armpit, not yet grasping the handle of the gun, when Liu Wei aimed his M1911A1 at him

"Really let me go?"

This was a serious mistake with the hornet's nest

What are you still dawdling for? Arrest the criminal

Fortunately, I did not have dinner; however, given this situation, the driver will probably not have an appetite for several days

"What do you want from me, to beat the drum and seek justice?" Liu Wei said as he walked over, wiping his dagger. "With your abilities from hetushu.com, can I really seek justice?"

"Old Li, we are civilized people and naturally would not engage in illegal or disorderly conduct." Tian Jiyan touched his nose, seemingly hinting to his two subordinates not to take action

Li Tingxuan nodded to the driver and said to Liu Wei: "Leave through the back door, let me handle this here"

"Stop it." Seeing Liu Wei in a half-dead state, Li Tingxuan shouted without a second thought, "Who the hell dares to shoot from behind? That is tantamount to being an enemy of K1."

"Tian Jiyan, you have quite the audacity to dare to touch my people," Li Tingxuan stood in front of the middle-aged man.

"Farting, don't ask me, can you enter K1?" Li Tingxuan put away the dagger and the pistol

"Why are you so dazed? I truly regret taking you in, you bastard, fifteen years ago" Li Tingxuan trembled with anger, yet showed no sign of fear

You..." Li Tingxuan was so angry that his teeth itched, yet he had no reason to argue back. "The greatest sorrow of my life is encountering the two bastards from the Liu family. If you have something to say, just say it; if you have something to let out, then let it out.

Of course, Tian Jiyan is a clever person. Even if several people witnessed Li Tingxuan committing murder, no one should expect to take any action against Li Tingxuan

Although Li Tingxuan was able to handle the matter of Xie Junfeng's murder, he could not provide a reasonable explanation for the deaths of the other five individuals, whose heads appeared thousands of miles away. Therefore, Liu Wei took away the five heads

Alright, I will arrive in approximately eight hours

The swordsmith of K 1 has never been caught by anyone

Upon turning back to see the driver lying in a pool of blood, the deputy director, who had initially been arrogant and overbearing, immediately turned pale with fear

Having received a slap, the vengeful demon, known for its murderous intent, casually spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground

Upon witnessing this situation, the driver, who had been vomiting by the door, was startled and his first instinct was to draw his gun

"The man has been killed, and the six guys who harmed my brother have all met a bad end. " Liu Wei reversed the dagger, drew his pistol, and executed the movements in one fluid motion

Tian Jiyan's facial muscles twitched a few times; he waved his hand and called over the two subordinates carrying Liu Wei, heading towards the helicopter that was slowly descending

His name is Tian Jiyan, the Executive Deputy Director of the Second Bureau of MSS, with powers equivalent to those of Li Tingxuan, yet the two are by no means kindred spirits

At this moment, his phone had already connected to the secure line

Liu Wei, stop!

It was still a step too late; Liu Wei had already been shot and fell to the ground, his blood staining the snow on the road red

Li Tingxuan did not dare to hesitate and immediately ran out.

Helicopter

What is it not

Without someone by one's side, even in death one cannot find peace

Thinking of this, Tian Jiyan couldn't help but feel a bit irritated

Li Tingxuan glanced at Liu Wei, gritted his teeth, and said: "Tian Jiyan, let me tell you, if he dies on the way, even if I have to give up this skin, I will still skin you alive."

Old Zhang, I am Xiao Li

Any intelligence officer with some experience knows that Li Tingxuan is absolutely decisive in his words

"Please keep it safe for me. If I survive, I will come back to retrieve it." Liu Wei's expression darkened, "If I cannot survive, then bury it next to my urn."

As Liu Wei ran to the door, he fired two shots at the door frame.

Li Tingxuan took the pistol, removed the magazine, and pulled back the slide to take a look; indeed, there were no bullets.

What do you plan to do

"Let's talk again when you return." The old man's voice was very calm, as if everything were under control

Taking this opportunity, Tian Jiyan's two subordinates lifted the severely injured and unconscious Liu Wei

Eliminating the driver with a single shot not only removed the traitor but also served to intimidate Tian Jiyan, ensuring that he would behave himself on the road and refrain from taking harsh measures against Liu Wei

The driver behind was so shocked that he was left speechless, and then he leaned against the door frame and vomited everything he had eaten at noon.

It is quite evident that Li Tingxuan, along with Liu Weigang and the library, deduced that a helicopter was approaching, and the driver immediately concluded that it was someone from MSS, which is rather impressive

It seems that he was also frightened by Li Tingxuan

In the intelligence community, few are unaware of the secret unit known as K1, which is under the jurisdiction of the Second Bureau of the General Staff Department.

If you don't leave now, I will shoot you, and consider it a cleansing of the ranks

Liu Wei stopped talking and ran towards the back door with the backpack used to carry heads

Li Tingxuan's reaction was very quick; by the time Liu Wei burst out of the back door, he had already sensed that something was amiss

With a sharp sound, Li Tingxuan did not hesitate to slap Liu Wei across the face

We shall see

I am truly leaving

"You... you... how come you..." Li Tingxuan controlled his emotions, "You fool, why didn't you come to find me?"

"While you were still waiting in line to be born, I was already in this line of work. Get lost." Li Tingxuan drew his sidearm, a compact Type 77 pistol

As he spoke these words, he even chuckled, seemingly mocking the rather ineffective intelligence officer

Since we are providing cover, we should do it more convincingly

I knew that Director Li would uphold justice even at the cost of familial ties

When he took the dagger and the pistol, Li Tingxuan deliberately removed his gloves, leaving behind fingerprints. This small gesture indicated that he had no intention of arresting Liu Wei.

Can you handle it

This sentence truly had an effect, as the two gunmen lying in ambush by the roadside pulled the trigger

Tian Jiyan smiled and took out a folded order, which he unfolded and handed to Li Tingxuan. "This is the highest directive; if you obstruct me, you will be guilty alongside the criminal"

The intelligence agents have all signed a "death warrant"; if they die, they die. Their families will receive a martyr's certificate and a substantial amount of compensation, but nothing more.

Liu Wei squatted in the middle of the room, with organs and pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground, blood flowing everywhere. If it weren't for the unblinking head of the deceased, one would easily mistake this place for a slaughterhouse
