Chapter 1533: Discovered
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Keyi felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
At this time, she was already a bit tired of wandering around and was planning to go to the next place. But suddenly, Xiao Keyi noticed that the bodyguards secretly protecting her were nowhere to be seen.
Although she didn’t know the reason, Xiao Keyi had a feeling that something must have happened nearby.
Thinking of this, Xiao Keyi hurriedly left the park.
At this moment, Murong Hai and his group were already surrounded by Xiao Keyi’s bodyguards.
Murong Hai never expected that even though they had hidden very well, they were still discovered by these people.
And the most crucial part was that Murong Hai had not even realized the existence of this group earlier.
Which means that their skills were above his; if they tried to fight this group head-on, they would definitely not be a match.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Murong Hai’s underlings were clearly a bit panicked, as they were discovered before even starting their action.
Murong Hai realized they couldn’t stay here any longer; their goal wasn’t to be entangled with this group.
If they continued to drag this out, who knew how many unexpected issues would arise.
"Everyone listen up, there’s an exit to the park right behind us. From here to the park exit takes two minutes. At our usual speed, one and a half minutes is definitely enough. I’ve just observed, although this group’s hand skills are strong, their footwork is clumsy. If we can run out, we can shake them off. No matter what, we can’t be entangled here."
Murong Hai’s underlings also realized that to complete the task, they had to shake off these troublesome bodyguards.
Following Murong Hai’s instructions, the group started to slowly gather at the back.
On Murong Hai’s command, the group took off running.
The bodyguards obviously did not expect Murong Hai to run at that moment.
By the time they reacted, Murong Hai and his group were already fifty meters away.
"Quick, chase them down, don’t let them get away!"
After realizing what happened, the bodyguards immediately gave chase.
Murong Hai and his group indeed had remarkable speed; in just two minutes, they managed to shake off these bodyguards.
After finally making it back, Murong Hai clearly hadn’t quite processed what had just happened.
He really didn’t know where this group came from. They clearly hadn’t seen them when they arrived. But just as Murong Hai was about to approach and see Xiao Keyi, these bodyguards suddenly appeared.
"Boss, there were only five of them just now, why were we afraid?"
Some of the underlings were obviously dissatisfied, as they had a clear numerical advantage, yet they were scared off.
Murong Hai looked at his naive underlings, unsure what to say for a moment.
These people had been with him for so long, yet they couldn’t see the obvious.
The five on the other side were clearly professionally trained. These underlings, with their rudimentary skills, might manage against ordinary people, but going up against professionally trained ones was sheer suicide.
Even if he could hold off two of them, the remaining three could still easily take down all of his underlings.
"Do you even know your own capabilities? Do you know what kind of training those five went through? Forget you guys, even with ten more, you wouldn’t stand a chance against even one of them."
The underlings were clearly in disbelief, as those five looked ordinary and didn’t seem like experts.
In fact, those people didn’t even look as intimidating as Murong Hai; the underlings assumed Murong Hai was just intimidated by their aura.
"Boss, we know you were scared then. But don’t try to scare us with those words. We may not be great, but for ordinary people, we can handle it. Just those five, we might not take them all, but we can definitely hold off two or three."
Murong Hai didn’t want to say anything more to them; these underlings were ignorant and arrogant.
If it weren’t for the bond formed over time, Murong Hai would have kicked them away by now.
Didn’t they see he had to avoid that group? Yet these underlings were so fearless?
"I don’t know who still thinks like this, but I can warn you now: if you continue with such thoughts, you’re bound for trouble sooner or later. This group is from the Xu Family. I don’t need to tell you about the Xu family’s background. Can anyone coming from there be ordinary?"
Murong Hai’s words made the underlings ponder, yes, could anyone from the Xu Family be ordinary?
Not to mention, even the Xu Family’s gatekeeper was probably extraordinary.
"I heard that the Xu Family recently had some selection process and picked a group of people. These people are top-tier experts internationally, and some have even defeated the boxing champion Tyrant."
One of the underlings suddenly recalled this recent event.
Everyone was horrified upon hearing that.
Fighting such opponents left them with no chance of winning.
It meant that, if lucky, they might get away with their lives, but if unlucky, they might lose everything.
At this point, many underlings were sweating profusely, realizing they were lucky Murong Hai had led them to retreat in time.
Who knew what would have happened otherwise, they might have been beaten badly by that group.
Recognizing their mistake, the underlings’ attitudes softened instantly.
"Boss, we’re really sorry, we were arrogant."
We saw those people as thin and weak and thought they were just there to put on a show, but they turned out to be real experts.
"Rest assured, Boss, we won’t make such mistakes again. We’ll be cautious in whatever we do and won’t hold you back."
They could see that Murong Hai was genuinely upset this time, so the underlings tried hard to please him.
Looking at his underlings, Murong Hai sighed helplessly.
He didn’t know what else to say, but it was good they were aware of their mistake. Luckily, no major incident occurred, and it wasn’t too late to turn things around now.
"Alright, alright, don’t blame yourselves too much. Just be careful in whatever you do from now on. Before understanding the opponent’s strength, never act rashly. We take jobs, and completing the task is the most important thing. Besides that, put off whatever issues you have."
