c63 - Hand It Over!
Perhaps due to rising temperatures, the days of gloomy rain seemed to have been paused.
A lazy sun hung in the sky, its rays not scorching but inducing drowsiness.
A bead of sweat rolled from Shen Han’s forehead into her eye, causing a slight sting and discomfort.
Perhaps due to not eating or drinking since last night, this S-class Alpha was not at her peak condition.
Going hungry for a few meals was bearable, but anyone would struggle without water for an extended period.
Fortunately, the two “presidents” in the room were somewhat “considerate.”
Not only did they voluntarily expose much information, but they even packaged important documents.
Shen Han clung to the window outside, slowly blinking her eyes.
She was slightly surprised, as the information from the middle-aged man’s mouth suggested he was likely one of the top two figures in this area.
‘So the local authorities are also running pyramid schemes. No wonder the Federation government can’t root out this den of thieves despite annual funding. This is simply the fox guarding the henhouse!’
Just as she was thinking this, a man’s shout suddenly came from not far below: “What are you doing? Stealing?”
Hearing this, Chen Yanjiao and the middle-aged man both turned to look at the window.
Simultaneously, Shen Han pushed off with her legs, supporting herself on the windowsill and jumping into the room.
She stuffed the watch camera from her mouth into her pocket, leaped to Chen Yanjiao and the man in a few steps, and snatched a bulging waterproof backpack from beside the bed.
“Hand it over!”
After dropping this line, Shen Han had already jumped out the window with the backpack, agile and swift.
The whole process sounds long, but in reality, from the shout outside to Shen Han entering the room, grabbing the bag, and leaving, it took less than 10 seconds.
The middle-aged man half-lying on the bed hadn’t even recovered from this series of events.
“Not good! That Alpha must be an undercover agent. We can’t let her escape!”
Hearing Chen Yanjiao’s cry, the middle-aged man finally exclaimed “Shit!” and sprang from the bed.
He scrambled to the window, shouting downwards: “Catch that Alpha with the waterproof backpack! At any cost, hurry! If you don’t catch her, none of you will work here anymore!”
Compared to the slow-reacting big boss, the guard who spotted Shen Han downstairs reacted quickly.
When Shen Han climbed into the window, he had already pressed his walkie-talkie to call for backup.
Now, seeing her jump down from the window, he reported his position on the walkie-talkie while charging forward with a baton.
As Shen Han landed, she found her feet slightly weak.
She didn’t dare linger to tangle with them. After ducking under the guard’s sweeping baton, she continued to crouch, darting like a cheetah towards the main entrance of the farmhouse resort.
Midway, she quickly twisted her left earring, sending a signal to Gu Junwan.
This was their pre-arranged plan.
Sending this signal meant Shen Han needed urgent reinforcements.
Of course, the reinforcements couldn’t descend from the sky immediately.
So Shen Han still needed to resolve her current predicament herself.
By now, two guards who had rushed over were hot on her heels.
One of them yelled into his walkie-talkie: “The target is running towards the main gate. Where’s Old Li? Tell Old Li to lock the iron gate!”
Hearing the roar from behind, Shen Han felt slightly uneasy.
She felt she might be dehydrated. Though her mind remained clear, her limbs felt somewhat buoyant.
In this condition, she couldn’t engage in a firefight with so many opponents.
She quickly thought: I need to find a way to shake off these pursuers!
Years of special training kept the Alpha calm and collected.
As she ran, she grabbed a bottle of water from a mahjong table, unscrewed the cap, and quickly squeezed the liquid into her mouth.
The cool mineral water gushing down greatly alleviated the burning sensation in the Alpha’s chest.
Shen Han squinted, suddenly changing direction towards a motorcycle that hadn’t been turned off yet.
A guard inquired over the walkie-talkie: “Old Li has been notified to close the main gate. What’s the target’s situation? Report her current status.”
“She just grabbed a bottle of mineral water, and now she’s trying to steal a motorcycle.”
“Received! I’m preparing vehicles just in case. Continue to intercept.”
Perhaps to maintain a facade, this farmhouse resort was genuinely open for business.
The guards didn’t dare to shoot, and the motorcycle Shen Han chose belonged to a tourist who had just left the mahjong table and was about to ride away.
When the tourist first saw a group chasing after one person, he had been happily sitting on his bike smoking.
Little did he expect that while eating melons, he’d be dragged into the melon field.
He hurriedly jumped off his bike, cigarette in mouth, hiding far away.
Still in shock, he didn’t forget to take out his phone to film a short video.
But before he could unlock his phone, the Alpha being chased had already roared towards the main gate on the motorcycle.
Old Li, responsible for guarding the gate, had been lying in the duty room watching a drama, crying his eyes out with tissues in hand.
Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, his first reaction was to run to the bathroom to wipe his face with a towel.
Then he ran out in slippers to close the gate.
Praying inwardly: Please don’t let anyone familiar see me in this state.
The large iron gate had barely been pushed halfway when a motorcycle thundered out at lightning speed.
The pursuing guards were panting like bulls.
Seeing the person the boss specifically wanted caught escaping, several at the front started cursing at Old Li.
“Can’t even close a gate properly, the boss would be better off keeping a dog than you!”
“We’re all done for now, get ready to pack up and leave!”
The head guard shouted, stopping this meaningless abuse.
“All of you, get on bikes and chase! What use is making Old Li cry? I’m telling you, if we don’t catch that person, the boss will make you cry worse than Old Li!”
A group of guards rode off on motorcycles.
The kind-hearted cleaning ladies hurried over to comfort Old Li.
“Don’t cry, they were probably just anxious. I heard the boss lost something.”
“Still, they shouldn’t curse at people like that. It’s too much bullying.”
Old Li sniffled, his emotions incredibly complex at the moment.
“I’m not, I wasn’t crying, stop talking about it.”
……
Shen Han bounced along the uneven dirt road on the motorcycle, with over ten people in pursuit.
Some were riding solo, while several bikes carried two people, the front one focused on driving, the rear one wielding a wooden stick and shouting loudly.
Shen Han’s chest felt tight.
She didn’t know which part of the town she was in now, and could only race forward along the dirt road.
The motorcycle she had commandeered had undergone some modifications. While driving, colorful lights flashed on the body and license plate area.
An automatic speaker was installed somewhere on the bike, currently playing a song with a magical rhythm.
Shen Han was already feeling unwell, and hearing the continuous stream of rural rap in her ears made her temples throb.
She quickly gripped the handlebar with one hand while feeling around the sound source with the other.
After a while, she found something like a wheel.
Without time to think, she directly turned the small wheel full circle.
Instantly, the speaker volume was cranked to maximum.
The music, previously audible only to Shen Han herself, suddenly spread like a tidal wave, shocking the entire countryside!
Sweat beading on her cheeks, Shen Han’s trembling hand quickly tried to turn the wheel back.
Unable to control her strength, she ended up pushing the entire wheel into its recess.
The music went completely out of control, switching to an even more energetic rock song.
Sound waves enveloped the nine motorcycles front and back, thundering towards the distance with a “thump-thump” beat.
From afar, it looked exactly like a group of lawless and extremely disruptive street racers.
……
Gu Junwan, with two guard team vehicles, kept approaching the location of the small red dot on the tablet.
She had been worried that if they took a wrong turn, they might be too late to support Shen Han.
Unexpectedly, after Shen Han sent the signal, the small red dot’s movement direction was basically a straight line.
It was moving fast, clearly indicating the other party was using some form of transportation.
“Faster.”
Hearing the Lady Empress’s order, the Beta driver pressed the accelerator deeper and steadier.
Three specially modified bulletproof cars lined up, kicking up clouds of dust on the dirt road.
When everyone saw Shen Han appear in their vision, alone on a motorcycle,
The two SUVs carrying the guard team immediately split left and right, roaring directly towards the group of pursuers behind their captain.
Confirming there were no more pursuers behind her, Shen Han immediately stopped her motorcycle.
She felt that if she endured that rock music any longer, she might fall off the bike.
After adjusting her breathing, she patted the backpack behind her and walked towards Gu Junwan’s vehicle, covered in dust and grime.
The Beta driver, looking at the dust outside the window that hadn’t fully settled, was wondering if he should go out to assist Captain Shen when the rear door of the vehicle was opened.
Gu Junwan, holding a bottle of water, got out and walked forward.
Seeing this, Xu Zhao and the driver quickly opened their doors and got out of the car.
They were then nearly blown over by the sudden blast of rock music.
In the open fields, the energetic dance music was deafening, with rural rap particularly loud.
The tall, slender Alpha walked to her Omega’s front, in rhythm with the beat.
She grinned a few times, then cupped her hands to receive the clear water poured from the Omega’s mineral water bottle, and began washing her face by the roadside.
The water Gu Junwan had brought from the car was originally intended for the other to drink.
But that silly Alpha insisted on cleaning up first.
The Omega had no choice but to cooperate, helping the other wash her hands, face, and neck briefly.
Then she took out a white handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the water droplets remaining on the other’s ears.
Xu Zhao glanced at the guard team and those criminals far from them, abandoning the idea of going forward to interrupt the Lady Empress and her partner.
The Beta driver stood by the field ridge, seemingly petrified.
The scene before him was full of absurdity, but a surge of inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart.
It was only later that he realized this was the feeling of a fan getting their sugar fix.
