Chapter 520 Old Man Zhang
Wang Chao didn't enjoy killing, nor was he a bloodthirsty maniac.
He had come here to find out who was targeting him and to see what kind of person Sheng Anhe's father was.
Although he hadn't seen Sheng Minghui yet, Sheng Minghui's actions had already revealed his true character.
He was ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals!
Furthermore, he had never shown himself and instead sent Meng Chang to his death. It was only after Meng Chang's death, after he had been framed for assassinating high-ranking members of the War Department, that Sheng Minghui revealed himself to hunt him down.
Scheming!
Cunning!
Calculating!
He was willing to sacrifice anything to achieve his objectives!
That was Sheng Minghui!
If Wang Chao didn't step forward and request negotiations with Sheng Minghui, more Silver Corps soldiers would likely come rushing at him, attempting to hunt him down.
Facing so many formidable opponents, if he just defended himself, he could run into trouble and possibly get injured.
Capture the leader first!
Only by negotiating with Sheng Minghui could this matter be resolved.
As he spoke, Wang Chao glanced at the time and furrowed his brow slightly.
There was only one hour left until Shen Bingsu woke up.
Taking into account the time to return to the Danfeng Group, he only had about twenty minutes to solve the problem.
"You dare to talk about negotiating with us, Wang Chao? You have betrayed the country and assassinated high-ranking members of the War Department. You're now the number one fugitive. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with our leader, Sheng Minghui?" Li Yuming, one of the Eight Great Vajras, stood in front of the Silver Corps, his gaze icy as he glared at Wang Chao. "Wang Chao, you are completely surrounded by us. I advise you to surrender immediately, or once we break through, you won't escape death."
"And, once you're dead, your family and three generations of your clan will be affected."
His voice was like a booming bell, deafening to the ears.
At the same time, his voice carried a strong sense of threat.
After speaking, he turned his back to Wang Chao and made a gesture indicating a divided attack.
With that gesture, many Silver Corps soldiers started advancing in groups.
Although there was only one entrance to the corridor, there were still some higher windows on both sides of the corridor.
Many Silver Corps soldiers had already approached those windows from the outside, intending to jump in from there and flank Wang Chao from both sides.
Wang Chao looked at Li Yuming, his gaze cold, and said deliberately, "It would be better if you don't come in through the windows. I don't want to kill anyone."
He was well aware of Li Yuming's tactics—they were merely trying to delay him and then have other soldiers infiltrate from elsewhere to attack him.
Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Li Yuming's expression changed slightly.
"Don't say I didn't give you face. Within five minutes, immediately bring your commander here, or else I'll truly unleash a massacre." Wang Chao said in a deep voice.
Li Yuming wanted to say something more, but Sheng Minghui's voice came through the earpiece, "Order everyone to retreat!"
"Boss, are you sure?" Li Yuming's expression turned solemn.
Just a moment ago, Sheng Minghui had wanted to kill Wang Chao here, but now he wanted to retreat?
What was Sheng Minghui planning?
"Everyone who can move, retreat! That's an order!" Sheng Minghui said coldly.
Li Yuming furrowed his brow slightly but still chose to follow the command. He loudly declared, "All Silver Armored Corps, retreat!"
After speaking, he sounded the retreat horn and led the soldiers of the Silver Corps to swiftly retreat, quickly disappearing without a trace.
"What... what's going on?"
"Why did they all retreat?"
Those Silver Corps soldiers who had been acupunctured by Wang Chao frowned slightly and sensed a sense of unease. Their mood became extremely anxious.
Wang Chao also furrowed his brow and immediately activated his profound technique, doubling his strength and sharpening his senses to listen to everything outside.
Just a moment ago, there were so many attackers, but now they suddenly withdrew. This was very unusual.
At that moment, the elderly inmate who had pretended to be unconscious opened the blanket, looked around, and his expression changed dramatically. He immediately shouted at Wang Chao, "Wang Chao, Sheng Minghui wants to blow up the prison!"
"Hurry, open the cell and save us!"
"Blow up the prison? Old man, are you joking?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
Could Sheng Minghui really be so crazy?
Although many of the criminals in the prison deserved to die, that did not mean they should be killed like this!
Moreover, there were still eighteen Silver Corps soldiers who had been acupunctured by him. Did Sheng Minghui want to blow them up too?
Was he so impulsive and callous?
"I know Sheng Minghui very well. He is a lunatic who stops at nothing to achieve his goals. He is capable of doing anything."
The elderly inmate walked up to the door of the cell, his expression anxious and flustered. "Quickly, break open the door and let us out. There are only five minutes left before this place explodes!"
Wang Chao looked at the person and asked, "Who are you?"
This elderly inmate seemed to have a special understanding of Sheng Minghui and had a sharp and cunning gaze.
While others found Meng Chang's suicide inexplicable, he saw through Meng Chang's sinister intentions at a glance.
Now, even he was puzzled by the Silver Corps' retreat, but this old man directly spoke of Sheng Minghui's 'plot'.
It could be inferred that this old man before him was extraordinary!
The elderly inmate looked anxious, threw the blanket on the cell door, and said in a deep voice, "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that Sheng Minghui has investigated you and knows that you have strong abilities. These people can't harm you at all."
"So, to kill you, there is only one method: to destroy all the prisons, with artillery bombardment, and let you perish in a sea of fire!"
"There's no time to explain so much now. Please let us out quickly. After we're out, I'll explain everything properly to you."
As he spoke, he kept pounding the cell door, trying to break it open.
However, he was too old, nearing the end of his life, and being a criminal, his physical strength was pitifully weak, unable to break open the prison cell.
Helpless, he could only look at Wang Chao with pleading eyes, then with a thump, he knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Wang Chao, I beg you, please open the door and let me out."
"I can not die. At least, I can't die now."
As he spoke, tears flowed profusely, and he looked incredibly miserable.
"Old Man Zhang, shut the fuck up!"
At this moment, one of the acupunctured Silver Corps soldiers glared at the elderly inmate and uttered coldly, "You are still criticizing our wise and heroic leader, Sheng Minghui, even while imprisoned. I think you desire to rot in jail!"
"Shut up immediately!"
His voice was icy and domineering.
Old Man Zhang completely ignored the Silver Corps soldier and continued to kneel on the ground, desperately pleading, "Wang Chao, time is running out. I beg you, please let me out quickly."
