Chapter Fifty-Eight: I Am Confident!

“Xiaoyu, Zhuofan, Xiaosheng, Linyun—the four of you are responsible for rappelling slowly from the rooftop of the commercial building where the unidentified group is holed up, down to above the thirty-seventh floor office. At the designated time, Qin Feng and I will open fire, which will be your signal to commence the assault. Once you receive it, don’t hesitate—immediately break through the windows.

The instant the windows shatter, the unidentified group will have a reflexive reaction—momentarily stunned, their attention will be focused entirely on you, and they won’t notice the situation around them. Before you breach, we’ll take out two of their members, but everything must happen quickly. As you crash through the windows, we’ll continue firing, targeting the two, perhaps three or four, who pose the greatest threat to you.

The moment you enter, throw in smoke grenades and engage at maximum speed—eliminate the rest. Only then can we fight the enemy most effectively.”

Su Yun outlined the operation plan. It was the strategy she and Qin Feng had devised, and it was excellent by all accounts—offering the greatest chance of both fighting and destroying the enemy. But there was inherent risk; if their speed faltered, all would be lost.

Hearing the plan, Lin Yun frowned. He seemed to sense the challenge and spoke: “Captain, according to your plan, you and Qin Feng must acquire your targets and give us the signal as quickly as possible. We’ll then break the windows rapidly, and you will continue to shoot and take down the enemy.

But as we’re breaching, we’ll have to pull the pins on our smoke grenades—that could affect the next phase of the operation. If our timing or coordination is off, the mission could be compromised or even fail.”

“Moreover, you’ll need to neutralize your targets in the briefest moment possible, aiming fast and true—otherwise, both we and the hostages will be at risk.”

“Exactly. That’s why our coordination must be seamless, leaving the enemy no time to react, or we could fail,” Su Yun agreed with a nod.

“And as we break in, we must strike with lethal precision, giving the enemy no chance to resist,” Lin Yun added. He felt the need for speed—only then could they fight effectively. With a serious expression, he looked to Qin Feng and Su Yun. “Captain, Qin Feng, can you guarantee your shots?”

He knew the snipers’ role was crucial; only with swift kills could they clear the way for the team.

“I trust him,” Su Yun replied, her confidence in Qin Feng unwavering.

“I have confidence,” Qin Feng said.

“Yes, this mission is built on mutual trust between teammates. I trust Qin Feng as well—I believe he can do it,” Liang Xiaoyu agreed. He felt Qin Feng’s combat and sniping abilities were strong, and their captain, Su Yun, was even more formidable—a truly impressive leader.

“We will succeed. We’ll fight with all our might, eliminate the enemy, and rescue the hostages,” Qin Feng declared, determination blazing in his eyes. He was resolved to save the hostages and eradicate the threat, ensuring the safety of innocent lives and property.

Su Yun nodded, her gaze full of faith as she looked at everyone. “Does anyone have any concerns about the plan?”

“No,” they all replied, including Qin Feng, who felt the unity of their team. Together, they would accomplish the mission.

“Good. Prepare yourselves. I’ll contact the Armed Police now,” Su Yun announced. The team nodded, and she went to make the call.

With the support of the Armed Police, it wasn’t long before the commercial building in their plan was cleared out for their operation.

The transport helicopter was one minute from the target location. The pilot reminded Su Yun and her team.

“Is this your first live combat mission?” Su Yun asked Liang Xiaoyu, Mo Zhuofan, Liu Xiaosheng, and Lin Yun. She knew Qin Feng had seen action before—she had fought alongside him against mercenaries and knew his strength. She believed he could handle it.

“Yes,” Mo Zhuofan replied.

“Me too,” said Liang Xiaoyu, Liu Xiaosheng, and Lin Yun in turn. It was their first real mission—a true test—but they were ready, willing to fight, eliminate the enemy, and complete the mission.

“This is your first time in real combat. You may see blood. Are you nervous?” Su Yun looked at the four of them. She was well aware of the realities of battle, so she offered the reminder, though she didn’t need to say it to Qin Feng. He had fought and killed before; he would not be nervous.

She glanced at Qin Feng—sure enough, he was calm and composed, not nervous at all. The other four, in contrast, were a bit tense.

“I’m a little nervous,” Lin Yun admitted honestly.

“It’s a bit nerve-wracking, but manageable,” Mo Zhuofan said, working to steady his nerves so he could fight better.

“I’m a little nervous too, but I think I can face the enemy,” Liu replied.

“I’m also ready to fight and rescue the hostages,” Liang Xiaosheng added.

“Good. Get yourselves ready,” Su Yun instructed, then handed an 88-style sniper rifle to Qin Feng, taking one herself.

“It’s time. Prepare to descend.” At that moment, the red landing light illuminated the cabin, and the pilot’s voice came over the intercom.

“Our motto is: Invincible in battle,” Qin Feng said to the others.

They all nodded, embracing the slogan—unstoppable, undefeatable. Only thus could they fight with the utmost power.

“Sharp Blade,” Qin Feng called, extending his hand palm-down.

Su Yun, Liang Xiaoyu, Mo Zhuofan, Liu, and Lin Yun all placed their hands atop his, shouting together, “Invincible in battle!”

Then they broke apart, readying themselves to disembark and face the coming fight.
