Chapter 6 No Way Out
Chapter 6 No Way Out
Lu Chen never expected to provoke such a person. According to Mike, staying here would surely mean certain death. He was just an ordinary security guard with parents and a sister to take care of. What would happen to his family if he died? No, he had to leave.
Thinking about all this, he glanced at Mike and the others, feeling a bit guilty. He chuckled and said, "Well, I won't drag you into this. Let me face them. I'll go find the boss now." With that, he stood up and walked out.
He had expected Mike and the others to stop him, but when he reached the door, he found that they didn't react. He turned around and looked at them, and all four of them were staring at him.
"Aren't you going to stop me? Then I'm really leaving," Lu Chen said loudly.
But just as his hand touched the door, Mike said unhurriedly, "Lu Chen, the boss is dead. You're not getting your commission."
"Do you know about the dark web? At this point, Rahman should have already posted a bounty on it. Even if you return to China, you will still be hunted down," Anthony said.
"They will not only kill you, but they will kill your family, including us," James shouted.
"Even if you pay off your debts, will you and your family be able to live well?" Alex said while cleaning his gun.
Lu Chen was completely stunned. His boss was dead, he couldn't get his commission, and he couldn't pay his debts. What was even more serious was whether Rahman would really issue a bounty. If that were the case, returning to China would really implicate his family. It seemed that he only had one way out, which was to tie himself up and send himself to Rahman.
At this moment, Anthony pointed at the laptop, seemingly surprised, and said somewhat unwillingly, "Lu Chen is actually worth 100,000 US dollars, while we are only worth 50,000 US dollars."
Mike and the others gathered around, and James said with a resentful look, "Lu Chen alone is worth more than all four of us combined. Is Rahman out of his mind?"
"Boss, how about we tie this kid up and send him to Rahman? We can make a hundred thousand." Anthony said with a smile, then stuck out his tongue and stared at Lu Chen with his big eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but take two steps back. He really had an urge to run away. These people were mercenaries, and they would do anything for money.
"Alright, stop scaring Lu Chen. We're all in this together now, no one can escape," Mike said, waving his hand at Anthony and the others.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chen, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and have a good talk about what to do next." At this moment, he already regarded Lu Chen as one of his own. If the previous events were planned, then what happened next was completely unexpected. Big Beard was dead, the bounty was issued, and Lu Chen and even the werewolf mercenary group faced annihilation.
Lu Chen was at his wit's end. He couldn't return to his country, nor could he see his family. He had no choice. He looked at Mike and the others, nodded, and sat down in a chair.
"Give me a cigarette," Lu Chen said, reaching out to Mike.
Mike took out cigarettes, lit two together, and handed one to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took the cigarette, took a deep drag, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked through the smoke at Mike's stubble-covered, rugged face.
He remained silent for about ten seconds before saying, "We're all in this together now, but I don't want to be a mercenary. However, I have no choice. So, let's use this crisis as a limit. Once we get through this crisis, I'll leave the werewolves." This was a well-thought-out idea of his. If Rahman wasn't dealt with, neither Lu Chen, nor his family, nor the werewolf mercenary group would have any peace.
This is his bottom line: deal with Rahman, then go back to his country and live a normal life.
Mike looked very serious. He valued Lu Chen highly. This kid was a good shot, had excellent hand-to-hand combat skills, and was calm and experienced. He was born to be a mercenary.
He extended his large hand and said with a smile, "Lu Chen, welcome to join us."
Lu Chen reached out his large hand and grasped Mike's hand. The two held on tightly for several seconds.
"Alright, if we don't discuss our next move soon, Rahman will attack," James said somewhat anxiously.
Lu Chen withdrew his large hand, looked at everyone, and said seriously, "Mike, you are the captain. I will obey your orders. Tell me what to do next." As a former Chinese reconnaissance soldier, obeying orders was a basic quality. Moreover, he had just joined the mercenary group and was unfamiliar with some things.
Mike appreciated Lu Chen's performance. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you the next step. Now we've become enemies with Rahman. Either he kills us, or we kill him. Even if no assassins take the mission, Rahman will send a large number of armed men to eliminate us. Right now, we must leave here as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he waved to the crowd and continued, "Come with me to the underground parking garage."
"If you don't mind, you can use Garibal's equipment for now," Mike said, standing up and patting Lu Chen on the shoulder.
Lu Chen had no reason to care now; staying alive was more important than anything else. He nodded to Mike and strode after him.
As everyone left the security company and got into the pickup truck, Lu Chen looked puzzled. He had never been to the underground parking garage and didn't know its location, but it would be strange if the garage wasn't in the security company's yard.
James drove the Hummer, with Mike sitting next to Lu Chen. He smiled and said, "Lu Chen, aren't you curious why the underground parking garage isn't in the security company's yard?"
Lu Chen was always calm and collected. Even if he couldn't understand something, he wouldn't ask questions, as that would lower his IQ. He looked out the car window and said with a serious expression, "Big Beard and his men came to the security company to look for the underground parking garage. The things stored in the garage are the same things that were in the fifth car."
He thought of Zhang Lu, who had been killed by armed men, and the ordinary security guards who had been killed; a fire burned fiercely in his chest.
Damn Mike, damn werewolves, damn mission, damn big beard—at this moment, he wanted to kill them all, but he had to restrain himself.
Mike laughed twice and said, "You're right. The fifth vehicle is just ordinary supplies. The real target is in the underground garage. This is what you call the 'feint attack' tactic in Chinese military strategy." He chuckled after he finished speaking, seemingly quite pleased with himself.
Lu Chen looked at Mike and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face. He grabbed Mike by the collar with both hands and shouted, "If you don't know how to use it, then don't use it! You've fucking killed people, including Gabriel!"
