Myth Beyond Heaven

Xu Longfeng put the newspaper down and made an inviting gesture. "Say, what are you going to exchange for him?"

Yun Lintian did not move but glanced at a door behind the counter. 

Seeing this, Xu Longfeng smiled and said. "You don't have to worry about him." He leisurely poured two cups of tea and continued. "He cannot betray me."

Xu Longfeng's tone was flat, but Yun Lintian could perceive a majestic aura in it. His eyes flickered slightly before walking toward Xu Longfeng and putting Lei Hao on a nearby table. He sat down opposite Xu Longfeng and slowly pulled his shirt's button out. 

When Yun Lintian put the button on the table, Xu Longfeng could see a tiny chip attached to it. He squinted his eyes slightly and asked. "Is this…"

Yun Lintian replied instantly. "Project Eve."

Xu Longfeng's hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly. His face was full of astonishment as his gaze shuttered between Yun Lintian and the chip. 

Yun Lintian calmly sipped the tea without saying anything.

A moment later, Xu Longfeng took a deep breath and said with a severe expression. "With this contribution, I can apply for protection for both of you. Why are you insisting on this?"

Yun Lintian put the cup down and shook his head. "Leader Xu, what you know about the Hell Church is only the tip of the iceberg. They can come out with this Project Eve. Do you think how many insane projects they have right now?"

Xu Longfeng nodded his head in agreement.

"Besides, I don't want to owe the country. You should know my background well." Yun Lintian said while staring straight into Xu Longfeng's eyes. 

Xu Longfeng leaned against the chair and let out a sigh. "The disappearance of your father has nothing to do with the country. Although he used to work as a scientist for us, we did not contact him again after he retired. You have misunderstood us on this."

"So he used to be a scientist? I thought he was an ordinary teacher." Yun Lintian smiled faintly.

Xu Longfeng was startled for a second and laughed. "You brat. You dug a trap for me." He thought Yun Lintian had already known about his father's background, but Yun Lintian actually knew nothing and even deceived him for information.

Yun Lintian only looked at Xu Longfeng and said nothing.

Xu Longfeng glanced at the chip and thought for a moment before saying. "Don't worry. Your little brother will be covered by us. He can live a peaceful life from now on."

Yun Lintian stared at Xu Longfeng's face as though he were trying to find a flaw. A while later, he slowly nodded his head. "Very well. It's time for me to leave." Following that, he stood up, taking one last glance at Lei Hao, and prepared to leave.

Before Yun Lintian left, Xu Longfeng suddenly asked. "Do you want weapons?"

Yun Lintian paused his step and turned to look at Xu Longfeng. "What do you have?"

Xu Longfeng clapped his hand, and the door behind the counter opened. A tall man with an icy expression walked out while holding a military bag. He placed it on the table and opened the bag for Yun Lintian to see.

Yun Lintian glanced at a few weapons in the bag with surprise. A small machine gun, pistols, and even grenades were lying neatly in it. He closed the bag and lifted it up as he said. "I'll accept it then."

Afterward, Yun Lintian turned around and walked out of the store.

Xu Longfeng stared at the Yun Lintian's figure that was slowly disappearing into the curtain of rain for a while. He let out a long sigh and muttered. "What a pity. He could be a good soldier." He turned to look at the tall man beside him and asked. "Do we have a chance against him?"

The tall man replied honestly. "No chance, Sir. His movement is too well calculated. If we start the fight, I'm afraid, Sir might fall into his hand in a split second."

Xu Longfeng did not doubt this. As a leader of the Hidden Dragon Group, his perception was naturally high. Yun Lintian's movement since the first step he took into the store seemed to be calculated beforehand. Everything was so precise, without a single flaw, whether it was the angle of his position or his walking posture.

"What are you going to do now, Sir?" The tall man asked.

Xu Longfeng glanced at Lei Hao, who was lying unconscious on the table and said. "Apply his identity into the high level of the national protection list and find a place for him to stay for a while… Be careful of him. Although he lost his legs, it doesn't mean he's no longer the quick-shot Lightning."

The tall man saluted and shouted loudly. "Understood!" He then went to pick Lei Hao up and walked toward the door behind the counter.

However, before he could open the door, he suddenly heard Xu Longfeng say. "Right. Contact Yang Ningchang. Just tell her Yun Lintian is in danger."

The tall man glanced at Xu Longfeng's back briefly. He opened the door and walked in.

***

After leaving the store, Yun Lintian returned to the previous small path and changed his clothes into a night camouflage suit with a windbreaker on top of it. In the side pockets, he hid two pistols and the small machine gun with a few grenades on his waist.

Following that, he walked along the path and took a glance at his stall. It was as he expected; the middle-aged man's body had disappeared now. Undoubtedly, he had been watched for a long time.

Yun Lintian's eyes were like a torch piercing through the curtain of rain to look for a trace of the enemy. However, he did not perceive anything unusual. This made his heart turn cold. As long as they appeared in a close range, Yun Lintian would detect them instantly, but they seemed to hide from a very far place. Looked like the enemy had understood his capability well.

Yun Lintian retracted his gaze and swiftly moved along the small path before turning at the corner, disappearing into the market street.

Several meters away, a Chinese man wearing a luxury suit watched Yun Lintian's movement through an advanced binocular. An evil grin slowly formed at the corner of his mouth. "Yun Lintian ah, Yun Lintian.. Let's see how you are going to escape this time."
