I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 695 Yan Shu is attacked

At Yan Jin's insistence, Yan Shu received a new ring, a new button, and his usual external headphones were replaced, among other things.

Yan Shu didn't refuse her younger brother's offer at all, letting him do as he pleased, so that her family could rest assured.

Although Yan Shu spoke confidently about the situation the Yan family was about to face, he now had a wife and children, his parents were still alive, and he had such a smart younger brother, so of course he should cherish his life.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely be leaving the number one city for a trip in a few days. His family knows that he has strengthened his defenses, so they are not overly worried.

Having finally made arrangements for his elder brother, Yan Jin nodded in satisfaction.

Then he said, "I'm going into the lab today, and I don't know how long it will take me to come out."

"If things don't turn out the way you expected, and the higher-ups get involved, what will you do? Will our family just stand our ground?"

The timing was perfect; it coincided with the closed verification period of an important experiment, which he had to personally oversee. Once inside the lab, he would be cut off from the outside world for a period of time, and he was worried that something might happen at home that he wouldn't be able to find out about in time.

But the experiment can't be postponed, and his brother's schedule can't be changed either. Sigh.

Yan Shu leaned forward and patted his younger brother's arm.

"Just do what you need to do, don't get distracted."

"It's not impossible for the authorities to get involved, but the chances are very small. Su Mo and I have been working together for over ten years, and the things I'm dealing with now were assigned to me by her. The authorities will definitely take this into consideration."

Even if the authorities want to "sacrifice" the Yan family and disregard their scientific research capabilities, they cannot ignore Su Mo. If their actions provoke Su Mo's rebellious spirit, who can predict the consequences?

Although some of the things Su Mo did in the past have been suppressed and no one dared to publicize them, the facts are there and they really happened. Moreover, Su Mo is now the only individual besides the government with space travel capabilities. What if he gets in a bad mood and takes people away from Earth and doesn't come back?

Yan Jin nodded silently. In a way, Su Mo could be considered their family's support.

The two brothers then discussed potential future collaborations with Su Mo for a while and had a meal together.

Yan Jin was about to enter the laboratory when Yan Shu left.

·····

Just over ten days after Su Mo left Blue Star, Yan Shu's tough attitude finally angered some people, and someone actually took action against him.

Ruins in the suburbs of a city in Hebei Province.

The plants grew wildly and unruly, their stems and leaves spreading among the dilapidated buildings, some tall and some short. Without the occasional destruction caused by the Zerg forces, the plants and ruins formed a harmonious and symbiotic scene.

The wreckage of the rear-end collision piled up on the ruptured concrete road, making the street unsuitable for old-fashioned cars.

Occasionally, insects several times larger than before would peek out from the cracks in the shattered cement blocks, shake their heads to look around, and then cautiously crawl out to sniff around.

Suddenly, its body trembled, and it turned and ran away the moment it sensed the change in the wind!

It was a gentle breeze whose source was still far away, but even insects have a sense of danger. It was startled and, after a brief moment of stunned silence, it immediately began to run around in a panic, trying to return underground and hide.

In its haste, it couldn't find the gap it had crawled out of! Without thinking twice, when it saw another gap, it plunged in, found a narrow crevice, and curled itself up.

At this moment, two tanks, both with some degree of damage to their exteriors, sped past each other on the ground.

The strong winds generated by the high speed swept through the ruined streets, rustling the leaves of the surrounding plants and kicking up dust.

The two speeding vehicles finally came to a stop next to a dilapidated factory on the outermost edge of the city, using the still towering, collapsed factory wall to conceal their vehicles.

The tanks were shut down, and everything returned to calm.

No one came down.

This is Yan Shu's car.

Yan Shu himself is currently sitting in one of the less damaged vehicles, along with his secretary and driver, Chen Gang.

"President Yan, we've temporarily shaken off those people, but the situation isn't good right now. Should we find a place to hide and contact reinforcements, or continue?" Chen Gang asked the person in the back seat, tilting his head slightly from the driver's seat.

"Will the battery last until the Fifth Great City (formerly Silver Boat)?" Yan Shu leaned back in his chair and asked with his eyes closed.

Chen Gang considered it for a moment and replied, "If we don't encounter any other problems afterward, it should be enough to go directly there."

Yan Shu "..."

"Go and remove the battery from the car behind you and take it with you. Everyone else, abandon your cars, disperse and retreat, and regroup in City Five."

There were only Yan Shu and Chen Gang in this car, but there were five bodyguards in the car behind. These five bodyguards were seriously injured while protecting him. Yan Shu couldn't doubt them now, but it was impossible for them to travel together.

Yan Shu had also considered that, given the current situation with the assassin convoy still trailing behind them, the best course of action was for everyone to escape separately. So, they should separate first, and deal with other matters later when it was safe to do so.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Chen Gang opened the door, got out of the car, and went to get the battery from the back of the vehicle.

Chen Gang is the son of Yan Shu's steward and has always worked for Yan Shu. He is the only person Yan Shu can trust now.

After he got out of the car, Yan Shu remained motionless with his eyes closed, recovering his mental strength.

Let's rewind to half an hour ago.

Yan Shu, who had personally visited Yiqing Province and was on his way back to Zhongzhou Province, was attacked shortly after entering the territory of the northern province.

Those people came prepared, unleashing a barrage of firepower that nearly overwhelmed the two tanks Yan Shu had brought with him, their aim being to kill him.

Unfortunately, despite three rounds of firepower, they failed to take the lives of even one person on Yan Shu's side.

One reason he used two upgraded and modified vehicles was that, at the same time the enemy launched their attack, the various defensive equipment Yan Shu was wearing was passively activated due to energy stimulation.

He had several defensive gears, including those that protected him at close range and those that provided shields that could cover a certain area when deployed. The quality of the gear was indeed quite good.

After the artillery fire subsided and the smoke cleared, the two tanks that were in the center of the firepower only suffered damage to their outer shells.

It was Yan Shu who suffered, as the sudden depletion of his mental energy left him completely unable to move.

Fortunately, he didn't have to show up himself at this time. When the firepower outside stopped, the bodyguards sitting in the back car immediately got out and surrounded Yan Shu.

One, two, then seven or eight fully equipped people carrying weapons, but with their faces concealed, jumped out from the surrounding area; there weren't many of them.
