My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 819 - 818: Closing the Net (2/2)

Bang!

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Chen immediately sprinted towards the source of the gunfire.

There are others on this island!

If there are others, maybe this person has medicine, maybe there's a way to leave this island, maybe there's a boat...

As long as he finds this person, anything is possible!

Immediately, Yang Chen ran along the edge of the island towards where the sound had come from.

Due to severe exhaustion, he hadn't run far when he felt like his lungs were heaving like bellows, gasping for breath, accompanied by dizziness. The lack of water and sugar left his blood sugar very low, somewhat unable to keep up with his body's demands.

But for hope, Yang Chen pushed himself desperately to run towards that side.

Boom! Boom!

Two more bangs rang out.

Yang Chen knew trouble must have occurred over there.

But it was still a long distance to traverse over this mountain, so Yang Chen decided to swim from the side!

Jumping into the sea, Yang Chen grimaced in pain.

The seawater, being highly saline, stung his numerous injuries, causing excruciating pain.

Yet Yang Chen gritted his teeth and persevered, swimming towards the opposite shore.

After about ten minutes, Yang Chen climbed ashore and sprinted to the other side.

After taking just a few steps, he saw a person running frantically, firing a gun behind him continuously.

Yang Chen focused his eyes, his pupils involuntarily constricting sharply.

"Mastiff!" Yang Chen shouted with joy.

He hadn't expected it to be Mastiff!

But soon enough, he saw what was chasing Mastiff.

It was a dense swarm of venomous snakes!

The snakes were in hot pursuit of Mastiff.

Alongside Mastiff, many lizards were also running.

Yang Chen was certain the snakes' target was the lizards, definitely not Mastiff.

However, no one could guarantee that the snakes wouldn't bite Mastiff once they caught up.

Just then, Yang Chen saw Mastiff trip and fall, looking extremely panicked and confused.

Only then did Yang Chen notice that Mastiff was also covered in wounds, comparable to his own!

Instantly, Yang Chen prepared to support Mastiff.

But he had no weapon at hand.

Glancing around, Yang Chen found a stick, grabbed it, and yelled at Mastiff, "Mastiff! Come over here!"

Mastiff looked up at Yang Chen, eyes lighting up with wild joy.

...

Flame Country.

Artificial Sea.

Elder's study.

Zhou Qinghe walked over, speaking in a somber tone, "Elder, there's no news of any survivors yet."

"Are you sure?" The Elder raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Qinghe didn't dare make any promises, "We've already deployed a large amount of manpower and resources and are searching thoroughly, but haven't found any personnel..."

"So essentially, you haven't found any bodies either, correct?" The Elder stared at Zhou Qinghe.

Zhou Qinghe bowed his head, "Yes..."

The Elder snorted coldly, chastising, "I've said it before, if alive, I want to see them, if dead, I want the bodies! Continue to dispatch more personnel until you find them!"

"Understood!" Zhou Qinghe quickly responded.

"Also, remember! Do not let anyone else find them before us! If someone else beats us to it, don't bother coming back!" The Elder said coldly.

"Yes!" Zhou Qinghe bowed deeply.

A few days ago, he went to the Federation Country, which was almost worse than death. Now that he was finally back, he didn't want to take more risks.

"Also, notify the Commander to come see me."

"Understood!"

Zhou Qinghe withdrew. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Soon, the Commander arrived.

"Elder!" The Commander nodded to the Elder.

With complementary powers, their relationship was friendly, otherwise the Elder wouldn't have let him manage the guards.

The Elder nodded, speaking to the Commander, "You're aware of the situation. Regardless of the circumstances, Yang Chen is a hero to our country. It was for us that he acted thus. Despite the slim chance of survival, the search and rescue effort must be impeccable. We cannot afford others to gain the lead on us, or we'll be in a bind."

"Understood!" The Commander nodded heavily.

Unlike the Elder, who focuses on control, the Commander, being a guard himself, had always deeply admired Yang Chen.

Now, with Yang Chen's actions, he held Yang Chen in the highest regard, surpassing all heroes. Among many heroes, the Commander admired Yang Chen the most.

In this era, only Yang Chen dared to take such actions!

He is a hero of this era!

"If, unfortunately, they haven't survived, accord them national burial procedures. Their honors must be fully bestowed, for they are our heroes!" The Elder stated.

The Commander nodded deeply, fully agreeing.

"Report any developments to me promptly." The Elder said.

The Commander nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Should we inform Elder Ye?"

"What for?" The Elder raised an eyebrow, displeased.

The Commander hesitated again and replied, "Well, after all, he is his grandson-in-law. Besides… After the incident, he contacted me by phone… I wonder if..."

"No need!" The Elder flatly refused.

The Commander nodded and did not ask further.

"Additionally, ensure that this incident remains strong and resolute, leave them no chance, we hold the strategic advantage, don't allow them a chance to strike back!" The Elder said icily, his eyes aflame with ambition.

The Commander nodded and exited.

After the Commander left, the Elder snorted coldly and mused aloud, "This time, let's see who dares challenge us!"

Then, the Elder called into the shadows, "Prepare, be ready to set out at any time!"

"Understood!" A silhouette answered from the darkness.

Feeling the shadowy figure depart, the Elder let out a long breath.

His long-planned endeavor was nearing its conclusion, or rather it was complete, awaiting only the final netting, allowing him a moment of relief.

Since Yang Chen's appearance, the pressure pressed heavily upon his heart like a rock.

Were it only Yang Chen, he wouldn't have worried. He's merely a guard. If he chose not to serve, the Elder didn't mind; it was insignificant. Besides, he had found better alternatives.

Yet, Yang Chen's connection to the Ye family posed a significant threat to the Elder.

Upon learning of Yang Chen and Ye Xin's true identities, the Elder became even more restless.

He didn't believe in fate, but couldn't help but be cautious.

Yang Chen, a captain of the Dragon Tooth Squad, the most outstanding King Wei in history, and Asura King of Asura Hall, had personally nurtured two powerful organizations. Together with Ye Xin's role as a Fire Phoenix agent and the vast Ye Family...

This truly disturbed him.

Now, Yang Chen and Ye Xin are likely unable to survive, allowing him a breath of relief at last.
