Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 519 - 516

Lu Xiao stared at him and, in the end, handed over the USB drive to him.

After Li Tingze received the USB drive, a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

"Three, two, one—!"

When the countdown reached one, both sides exchanged hostages at the exact same moment—!

Lu Xiao quickly took over their severely wounded undercover operative, while Li Tingze boarded the helicopter with his assistant and took off immediately.

Both parties were armed, and after Li Tingze boarded the helicopter, he grabbed a gun. As the helicopter quickly ascended, he looked down with a snarl curling his lips.

Lu Xiao just watched him looking down at himself, mouthing three words.

Those three words were: "You’ve lost."

Lu Xiao, with a heavy gaze, watched as the withdrawn SWAT team hurriedly came to take the injured undercover operative away.

Everyone watched the helicopter carrying Li Tingze away, while the helmeted SWAT Captain, with a solemn face, sighed, "He’s escaped again. What on earth is on that USB drive?"

Lu Xiao continued to watch the slowly disappearing helicopter, then suddenly said, "You’ll know very soon."

The SWAT Captain was startled.

But in the very next second, he understood.

Right after Lu Xiao’s words fell, there was a loud explosion in the sky—!

The helicopter flying over the forest suddenly burst into flames, and then with billowing black smoke, plummeted from the sky—!

The SWAT Captain, looking at him, was completely dumbfounded: "The USB drive... had a bomb in it."

Indeed.

It had been fitted with a chip bomb by Lu Xiao from the beginning.

In preparing for the operation, Lu Xiao had considered countless possibilities.

The USB drive was the last step; if they could capture him and bring him back to the police station, so be it. But if he tried to escape, Li Tingze wouldn’t take the USB drive, and it would still be planted on his person.

It was something he and the Chief had secretly agreed upon early on.

But implanting the chip bomb was also his own selfish desire – he had said he would kill Li Tingze with his own hands!

As for the USB drive, he had copied all the information inside after cracking the password long ago. So what if he gave it to him!

After the explosion and crash into the forest, the SWAT team quickly rushed to the scene.

The forest was covered in dense snow; the flames couldn’t spread, only the aircraft burned.

The chip bomb installed by Lu Xiao wasn’t very powerful, but even so, Li Tingze’s fall from such a height meant he wouldn’t come out unscathed—or even alive.

If he did survive, being crippled would be a fate worse than death for someone like him.

But Lu Xiao had already stopped paying attention, asking the SWAT Captain a few questions before muttering a curse and quickly leaving.

He went directly to look for Wen Xian.

From what the SWAT Captain told him, Wen Xian was not in their hands, and her whereabouts were unknown.

One sentence confirmed that the cabin had indeed been discovered, breached, and that she was now missing.

Lu Xiao drove back quickly, calling her on his phone repeatedly while driving, but the response was a chilling female voice: ["I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is out of the service area."]

Again and again, Lu Xiao listened to that voice, his mood sinking deeper and deeper!

"Damn it..."

The SWAT Captain mentioned that the cabin had been attacked, but he did not mention any explosion, and Wen Xian’s whereabouts were unknown. She must have escaped from there.

If she had escaped, it meant she was still alive.

But where was she now? Why was she out of the service area?

Lu Xiao was rushing back to their place; since he could not contact her now, he could only—
