Chapter 91
Xu Man was very cautious . He first pretended not to have found anything and walked past the shopping mall . When he confirmed that he was far away from it, he immediately called for support to try to surround the mall .
The platoon carefully made their way back, while the other five platoons were closing in as well . The wireless communications equipment they had in their helmets was far more convenient than they could imagine .
Xu Man slowly led the soldiers towards the main entrance as though they had come back after a normal patrol of the area and there was nothing unusual about their movements . Their combat boots were hard bottomed, so it was impossible for them to stay completely silent while walking on the concrete surfaces . So it was better to pretend they were on a normal patrol .
However, when Ren Xiaosu heard these footsteps again, he let out a sigh in his head . He knew that anyone in this world who depended on luck would not live for long . If he were still thinking the other party hadn't discovered him yet, that would be too stupid of him .
For the Qing Consortium's troops to suddenly return, it didn't matter how unconcerned they were trying to act . Ren Xiaosu immediately understood there must be a reason for it . In that instant, Ren Xiaosu felt his heart ache . He slowly laid down the jacket he had used to wrap up the gold with onto the floor . He decided to abandon it .
Now that he had to run for his life, he couldn't risk his life for the gold .
Even if he had great strength, carrying a bundle of gold would affect his speed, or worse, his sense of balance .
Ren Xiaosu had always treated money as just a tool . He liked it, but he would never indulge in it . It had always been so for him .
Not only was he abandoning the gold, Ren Xiaosu was even planning on discarding the jacket . If he slowly took out the gold jewelry from inside the jacket, it would make too much noise .
He turned around and ran lightly into the depths of the shopping mall . This mall was huge and spanned several stories as well .
The outside of the building was probably surrounded already . Ren Xiaosu wouldn't use his life to test whether anyone standing behind the doors . What if a hail of gunfire swept over him the moment he opened one? That would be the end for him . Therefore, Ren Xiaosu had to run upstairs .
From his memory, there was another building next to this shopping mall that was similar in height . This mall had been located in the most prosperous business center of the city, so it wasn't the only building around the area .
Ren Xiaosu was not a reckless person . Xu Man might pick up that someone was hiding in the mall from his keen observation, but Ren Xiaosu had similarly picked out his getaway route beforehand .
The gap between the two buildings was around 20 meters, and Ren Xiaosu was confident that he could leap over based on his current strength and dexterity .
Xu Man slowly led the troops into the mall . They had their tactical flashlights on as they slowly infiltrated into the darkness within .
But not long after entering the building, Xu Man noticed the jacket and gold Ren Xiaosu had abandoned on the ground .
He said on the communications channel, "We've got confirmation on the target's trail . The target has noticed we're after him and is currently on the run in another direction! Target is extremely cautious!"
Qing Zhen's voice sounded on the communications channel . "Have you discovered who it is yet?"
Xu Man hesitated for a moment before saying, "It might be that refugee, Ren Xiaosu . I've not set eyes on the target yet, so I can't confirm . "
"How did you guess it's Ren Xiaosu without seeing him?" Qing Zhen asked, "Did you find some clues?"
Xu Man hesitated and said, "We discovered a stash of gold here… . I'm guessing only that kid would be so interested in gold . "
Qing Zhen started laughing . He agreed with Xu Man's judgment . Xu Xianchu and Yang Xiaojin were obviously after the secret of the Jing Mountains . The two of them would definitely not be interested in something like gold . At least, it wouldn't be their immediate goal .
Who would run this far out here and experience so much danger and terror all for the sake of making off with a bag of gold?
If Ren Xiaosu were to hear this, he would be the first to object . Gold was so adorable, so why couldn't he hope to make off with some?!
