Chapter 437 The Sniper
The sea breeze was cold under the cover of night, the harbor smelled faintly of the sea, and the air still carried the lingering smell of gunpowder.
Lin Chuyue was led away by Li Zhanchuan and retreated quickly. Their steps were hurried, and several short gunshots came from the port not far behind them, which meant that someone was cleaning up the traces.
"That group of people not only wanted to kill Wen Jingzhao, but also wanted to silence all the witnesses."
Li Zhanchuan's voice was calm and cold, carrying a hint of danger: "They acted quickly, clearly they came prepared."
Lin Chuyue suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Who exactly is behind this? To be able to mobilize such a precise sniper, their skills are extraordinary."
They quickly arrived at an abandoned warehouse not far from the port and temporarily concealed themselves. At the same time, Lin Chuyue quickly dialed Gu Yanchuan's number.
"how is the situation?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yanchuan's voice carried a hint of anxiety: "My men just hacked into the port's surveillance system, but strangely, the nearby surveillance system was hacked beforehand, and some of the data was erased."
Lin Chuyue's gaze turned cold: "It seems that the person behind this is not only targeting Wen Jingzhao."
"Their goal is to completely sever all leads."
Li Zhanchuan leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette with his slender fingers, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke: "Wen Jingzhao appeared at the port, and the person behind the scenes immediately sent someone to kill him. What does that mean?"
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment, then her gaze sharpened: "This means—Wen Jingzhao has their fatal weakness!"
"Moreover, this incriminating evidence is enough to make the other party do anything to kill and silence you!"

The Sniper's Identity
Lin Chuyue tapped her fingertips on the phone screen a few times, bringing up some clues she had obtained from her hacker friend.
"The sniper we just encountered was no ordinary person."
She looked up at Li Zhanchuan and said in a low voice, "His shooting style is very similar to that of the assassins from the 'Night Owl' organization."
Li Zhanchuan's eyes darkened slightly: "Night Owl? That internationally wanted assassin organization?"
Lin Chuyue nodded: "That's right."
"If they are the ones who made the move, then the person behind it is definitely not simple."
Just then, her phone vibrated, and an anonymous message popped up on the screen—
Want to know Wen Jingzhao's secret? In half an hour, at the old wharf in the western suburbs, bring your sincerity.
Lin Chuyue's eyes sharpened, and Li Zhanchuan also saw the message, his brows furrowing slightly: "It seems that there are still people who don't want Wen Jingzhao's trail to go cold."
"This could be a trap."
Lin Chuyue sneered, a dangerous glint in her eyes: "A trap? Let's see who's more ruthless."

Transactions at the old wharf in the western suburbs
Half an hour later, Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan appeared at the old dock in the western suburbs.
This place has long been abandoned, and the dilapidated warehouse exudes a chilling atmosphere.
Under the cover of night, a man wearing a black hat stood at the warehouse entrance, with several hidden gun barrels vaguely visible all around, pointed at them.
"You are here."
The man's voice was low and husky, his sharp gaze sweeping over Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan: "It seems you really want to know Wen Jingzhao's secret."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, her gaze indifferent: "Enough with the nonsense. You didn't call us here just to chat, did you?"
The man clapped his hands lightly, and soon, two men in black behind him carried out a black briefcase.
The box was opened, revealing stacks of thick documents and a damaged mobile phone whose data could still be recovered.
"These are all things left behind by Wen Jingzhao."
"He originally intended to use this information as a final bargaining chip to make a deal with the person behind the scenes."
Lin Chuyue's gaze swept over the box, and her heart tightened slightly—
These materials clearly involve a deeper conspiracy!
Li Zhanchuan's gaze was icy as he slowly asked, "Why did you hand these over to us?"
The man smiled slightly: "Because... you are the only ones who can use this information to turn the tables."
-
Dangerous choice
Lin Chuyue looked at the documents in the box, her mind racing through various possibilities.
She knew very well that this document must contain a huge secret; otherwise, Wen Jingzhao wouldn't have died so easily.
She took a deep breath and slowly asked, "What would it mean if we took these documents?"
The man narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "This means you've been completely drawn into a much larger game."
"And you will become... the next target."
-
Deadly ambush
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the warehouse!
"boom--!"
A gunshot pierced the night sky!
"ambush!"
Li Zhanchuan roared and instantly grabbed Lin Chuyue, dodging the attack.
The bullet grazed Lin Chuyue's arm, drawing a trickle of blood. She couldn't help but frown: "Damn, they came really fast!"
Outside the warehouse, men in black rushed in, and bullets rained down on them.
The man's expression changed, and he quickly pulled over the suitcase: "We have to retreat immediately!"
Li Zhanchuan kicked over the iron bucket next to him and, using the cover, quickly launched a counterattack against the enemy, firing his pistol accurately and pinning them down at the doorway.
Lin Chuyue quickly took out her phone and whispered, "Gu Yanchuan, locate me!"
"We need support."
-
A thrilling escape
The gunfire lasted for a full five minutes, and the situation inside the warehouse became increasingly critical.
"This group of people is not like ordinary killers."
Li Zhanchuan glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Their tactical coordination is very tight, as if they have received professional training."
Lin Chuyue's gaze turned cold: "It seems that the person behind this not only has assassins, but also military connections."
"We must retreat!"
She suddenly looked at the man in the black hat: "Give me the information, and we'll take you away!"
The man hesitated for a second, then gritted his teeth and tossed the box to Lin Chuyue: "You'd better not make me regret this."
"Come on!"
Li Zhanchuan grabbed Lin Chuyue's waist and, using the cover, quickly rushed towards the back door of the warehouse.
"boom--!"
A grenade was thrown into the warehouse and exploded instantly!
Flames shot into the sky, and the entire warehouse was blown apart and collapsed.
Lin Chuyue was held tightly in Li Zhanchuan's arms. After rolling to the ground, her face was covered with a little dust, but her eyes remained sharp.
The man in the black hat also collapsed to the side, coughing awkwardly.
In the distance, a black SUV sped towards them. Gu Yanchuan opened the car door, his expression serious: "Get in the car quickly!"
-
The game turned around
The car sped away, and in the distance, the warehouse was engulfed in flames.
Lin Chuyue leaned back in her chair, looking down at the documents in her hand, her gaze cold.
"These things are enough to overturn the entire situation."
Li Zhanchuan narrowed his eyes: "But at the same time, it also makes you the most dangerous person."
Lin Chuyue chuckled: "Danger? I'm used to it."
She slowly raised her head, looking sharply into the darkness before her.
"Since they're going to play this game..."
"Then I'll play a game with them."
