Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 335: Chapter 332 Chapter 335: Chapter 332 This rescue mission seems to be anything but simple!

The person who called said there was clearly only one person missing.

But near the rescue site there are traps and multiple footprints, what does that mean?

A shadowy figure flashed across his mind in an instant.

It was that man surnamed Wu who had escaped during the artifact smuggling operation.

If this were a conspiracy, then nine times out of ten, it must be him stirring up trouble, plotting in the dark!

When Lu Xiao spoke again, he took a deep breath and said,
“Have all your people returned, how is the injured team member doing? You must prioritize their treatment. As for this matter, I’ll investigate thoroughly, it’s very likely a conspiracy!”

After hesitating for a while, Ga Zhuo couldn’t help but slowly speak up,
“Captain Lu, to be honest, I have the same suspicion, but if it’s a conspiracy targeting us, why didn’t they attack us besides that one trap? The terrain there today was in their favor.”

After these words, both of them fell silent.

Yet in the silence, it was as if an answer was squirming about, about to surface.

Something seemed to strike Ga Zhuo, his breath hitched, and then he spoke incredulously, “Could it be…?”

Lu Xiao’s gaze reflected the darkening snowy night, the coldness in his body intensifying.

He hummed lightly, “You’re not wrong in your thinking. If they didn’t make a move, that means the person they came for today wasn’t there.”

And who could their target be…?

The more he thought about it, the clearer it became.

“Captain Lu, they were after you.” Ga Zhuo stated the answer.

Upon realizing this, he couldn’t help but grow angry, grinding his teeth as he cursed,
“These bastards! Is it that man surnamed Wu behind this!? They run rampant here, and our resistance is their most formidable enemy. They must have designed this plot specifically for your life.”

Indeed, this appeared to be the truth.

Because even if they took action against everyone in his jurisdiction, it would make no difference.

His jurisdiction would continuously have new people to stand against these criminals, a dynamic unchanged since ancient times.

But Captain Lu was different.

The retired special forces captain had made quite a name for himself in the west these past few years, instilling fear in criminals.

But at the same time, he had also made enemies who were after his life.

If Captain Lu were taken out of the picture, they would be less worried about the others.

After all, not everyone was Captain Lu.

Lu Xiao fell silent for a moment, then his voice was calmer than ever as he said,
“If they are only targeting me, I’m even more relieved. You first ensure the team’s safety, I’ll handle the rest.”

Ga Zhuo wanted to say more when he heard this, but Lu Xiao interrupted him, “Don’t worry, I won’t let them succeed.”

They hadn’t succeeded this time because he had come to Beijing on short notice, but even if he had been there, it wouldn’t have necessarily meant success for them. Did they really think he was so passive!

…
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiao finally turned his gaze to the room in front of the gallery.

Inside, he was experiencing a mix of emotions he couldn’t quite define.

His eyes became even deeper and more complex.

That’s him, someone who could be targeted and plotted against at any time. Was she truly… not afraid?

…
Wen Xian slept soundly, lying on the bed Lu Xiao had slept in since he was a child. Though the bed was a bit hard, she found it extremely comfortable.

But at some point, she felt a ticklish sensation.

It was as if warm breath fell upon her, and someone was gently kissing her…
