Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 42: COMPROMISE

Ling Wei's eyes snapped open, her instincts screaming warning. Gunfire echoed outside, followed by shattering glass.

Gu Xun burst into the room, pistol drawn. "We've been compromised!"

Jiang Jian struggled to sit up, his face pale.

Ling Wei rushed to his side, helping him stand.

The medic cowered in the corner, hands over his head.

Gu Xun provided cover fire, holding off the attackers.

"Get Jiang Jian out!" he shouted.

Ling Wei supported Jiang Jian, navigating through the hail of bullets.

They reached the exit, where a black SUV screeched to a halt.

"In!" Gu Xun yelled.

Ling Wei pushed Jiang Jian into the vehicle.

As she followed, a bullet grazed her arm.

Gu Xun leapt in, slamming the door.

The SUV sped away, pursued by enemy vehicles.

The driver expertly maneuvered through narrow alleys, dodging market stalls and pedestrians.

Ling Wei tended to Jiang Jian's wounds, her hands moving swiftly and surely.

Gu Xun returned fire, taking out pursuing vehicles with precision shots.

The SUV sped through the city, weaving through traffic.

Suddenly, the driver swerved, avoiding a collision with an oncoming truck.

Ling Wei's heart racing, she checked Jiang Jian's condition.

His eyes fluttered open, pain etched on his face.

"Jiang Jian, hold on!" Ling Wei urged.

Gu Xun's phone beeped, a message flashing on the screen.

"What is it?" Ling Wei asked.

"Backup's en route," Gu Xun replied. "We'll lose them soon."

The SUV screeched around a corner, tires screeching.

Ling Wei's gaze locked onto Jiang Jian's, her determination clear.

"We'll get through this, together."
