Chapter 60: Fifty-nine, the clue is broken again
Lu Hanmo’s movements were like a cheetah, agilely running fast through the forest, locking onto targets and shooting the enemy without hesitation while mentally counting the remaining number of foes.
After killing another enemy, Lu Hanmo darted into a thicket, concealing himself.
The faint sound of footsteps approached from not far off, and Lu Hanmo immediately swept his gaze in that direction while his gun was already aimed at the newcomer. Recognizing it was one of his subordinates, Lu Hanmo mimicked the sound of a cricket, sending a secret signal.
The subordinate, recognizing the signal, turned his head towards Lu Hanmo’s location, and responded with a signal of his own. After confirming it was indeed Lu Hanmo, he quickly ran over and reported in a low voice, “Report, Instructor, we’ve eliminated nine enemies, leaving only three remaining.”
“Good, stay safe!” Lu Hanmo nodded slightly, his eyes scouring the forest with undiminished intensity. Hearing several gunshots in the distance, he quickly moved out of the shrubs and dashed towards the source of the gunshots.
The subordinate watched Lu Hanmo’s retreating figure, the corners of his mouth slowly curving into a sinister smile. He raised his gun, aiming it at Lu Hanmo’s back, and slowly pulled the trigger.
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out.
Lu Hanmo, having sensed the danger before the trigger was pulled, instinctively shifted his position. He had a natural, keen reaction to danger. To his surprise, the shot missed.
Catching a glimpse of the tree trunk hit by the bullet, confusion flickered in Lu Hanmo’s eyes. He turned and saw Luo Shu standing not far away, momentarily taken aback. How did she get here?
Luo Shu still had lingering fear in her eyes as she saw Lu Hanmo running towards her, her rapidly beating heart slowly calming down. If she hadn’t arrived in time to knock the gun off target by hitting the assailant’s pressure point with a stone, the attacker might have succeeded. Even though Lu Hanmo had moved aside, he was still within the range of the bullet. It seemed her suspicions were indeed correct!
Lu Hanmo reached Luo Shu, took her by the hand, and pulled her behind the shrubbery where he had been hiding. He glanced at his incapacitated subordinate lying on the ground, his eyes glittering with a cold light. He hadn’t expected the enemy to plant an assassin among his own ranks; they had really gone to great lengths!
“Brother Lu, what’s going on? Why is he trying to kill you?” Luo Shu pointed at the man on the ground whose pressure point she had hit, asking her question. Although she had some guesses, she still wanted to hear what Lu Hanmo had to say.
After careful consideration, Lu Hanmo decided to tell Luo Shu the truth, “This mission might be a conspiracy, with the purpose of taking my life, which is why Xiao Hu knew about my identity so early on.” Shushu’s presence here was definitely part of their design. It seemed the enemy already knew of Shushu and now, even if Shushu wished to stay out of it, it was impossible. What should he do now to ensure Shushu’s safety so that she wouldn’t get hurt?
“Brother Lu, what are you planning to do?” Luo Shu asked worriedly. In her last life, Lu Hanmo had been injured in a mission, and it must have been because of that person.
“Find a way to draw them out.” Lu Hanmo clenched his fists slowly, his eyes emitting a piercing cold light. He himself didn’t care, but he couldn’t let Shushu be endangered.
Luo Shu reached out and grabbed Lu Hanmo’s hand, “Brother Lu, don’t worry about my safety. I can protect myself, trust me!” Knowing Lu Hanmo, she understood his thoughts.
Lu Hanmo’s gaze towards Luo Shu was complex and intense. How could he possibly not worry? It was because he hadn’t protected her in his past life that such a tragedy had occurred.
Looking at the subordinate on the ground, Lu Hanmo yanked him up by the collar, lifting him, “Who ordered you to do this?!” Only by finding the person behind the scenes could Shushu be safe, and he could be at peace.
“Instructor, don’t bother asking, I won’t tell you,” the man stated calmly, his tone resolute. He had undergone special training and wasn’t susceptible to any torture. What he hadn’t anticipated was being taken down by a woman.
“Brother Lu, hold his head up for me, and leave the rest to me,” Luo Shu took out a Silver Needle and slowly pierced it into a pressure point at the back of the man’s head.
As the Silver Needle penetrated, the man’s gaze gradually became hazy.

Deeming the man ready, Luo Shu began to interrogate, “Tell me, who ordered you to kill Lu Hanmo?”
The man’s expression was vacant as he tilted his head and thought for a moment, then slowly began to speak, “It was…”
Suddenly, Lu Hanmo sprung forward, knocking Luo Shu to the ground.
At the same time, another gunshot sounded, and a bullet struck the subordinate’s head with deadly precision, blood gushing out like a fountain from the wound.
Lu Hanmo quickly stood up and searched the direction the bullet had come from, but the shooter had already made their escape.
“Damn it!” Lu Hanmo punched the ground in frustration. It seemed they had lost the lead once again.
Footsteps sounded in the distance; Luo Shu turned to see it was Lu Hanmo’s men approaching, one of them holding a wiry man in his grasp.
Upon seeing Luo Shu next to Lu Hanmo, everyone was startled. Why was there a girl with Instructor Lu?
Wang Qi stepped forward, reporting, “Report, Instructor, we’ve captured an enemy, and the rest have been completely annihilated.”
Then noticing the man lying in a pool of blood, Wang Qi paused, “Instructor Lu, how did Xu Li…?”
“Take his body back!” ordered Lu Hanmo sternly. Since the other side had silenced Xu Li, even if he checked Xu Li’s records, it would be fruitless.
Approaching the captured skinny man, Lu Hanmo demanded, “Who informed you?”
The skinny man trembled, stammering in fear, “I… I don’t know, I’m just a nobody.” He couldn’t help but cower under the immense aura exuded by Lu Hanmo.
Luo Shu stepped forward, exchanging a glance with Lu Hanmo, then quickly placed a Silver Needle into the captive’s head. Once the needle hit that pressure point, the subject’s thoughts were no longer under their own control; even if they wanted to lie, they couldn’t.
