Chapter 572 Xu Le's Decisiveness

Zhou Liang sneered, seemingly finding it a very funny joke, then glanced at me and said, "Lu Xiaonan, is the person you brought out mentally unstable?"

Before I could speak, Xu Le said, "I can kill you, do you believe me?"

Hearing this provocative remark, Zhou Liang narrowed his eyes and said, "How can you kill me by yourself? Everyone here is armed, and with just one order, my men will surround this place. Do you think you can kill me?"

Xu Le said, "Yes, I can kill you. Even if your men come, I can still kill you."

Zhou Liang stared at Xu Le and asked, "Are you that confident?"

Xu Le said, "This isn't confidence, it's the truth."

Zhou Liang said, "To be honest, what I can't stand the most is someone like you who can't do what you're supposed to do but is still arrogant."

"Why don't you give it a try?" Xu Le said with a smile.

"Fine!" The moment Zhou Liang finished speaking, he pulled a gun from his back waist and pointed it directly at Xu Le's head, saying, "I'm pointing a gun at your head now. If you dare to move, I'll kill you. How can you kill me now?"

Seeing this scene, I instinctively took a step back.

I didn't expect Xu Le to be so audacious, declaring war on Zhou Liang right away. And you have to understand that everyone around us is Zhou Liang's man. If Zhou Liang really wanted to kill Xu Le, he could just give the order and both Xu Le and I would die here.

And most importantly, Zhou Liang is currently holding a gun to Xu Le's head. With Zhou Liang's strength, as long as he senses Xu Le making a move, Xu Le will die, and once Xu Le dies, I will die too.

I'm really scared now. Before I came here, I thought Xu Le would make a plan, a proper plan on how to deal with Zhou Liang, but now I really don't know what to do. Should I just surrender?

What a joke! If we surrender, we're doomed.

In the meeting room, not only was I nervous, but everyone else was too, unsure of what would happen next.

Xu Le then asked calmly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"You've threatened me like this, wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't kill you?"

Xu Le sighed and said, "Fine, but you can't kill me."

"Is that so? Or should I kill him now..."

Before Zhou Liang could finish speaking, the gun in his hand fell to the ground. Xu Le then caught the pistol and smiled, "Kill me now? Heh, too bad you can't."

Zhou Liang's expression changed drastically. He couldn't understand what was going on. He took a step back and tried to move his hand, but suddenly found that his right hand was stiff and he couldn't move it at all.

"What did you do to me!" Zhou Liang clutched his frozen right hand, not understanding what had happened.

Xu Le held the gun, slowly pointed the muzzle at Zhou Liang, and said, "You don't need to know what I did to you. It's my secret, and even if you knew, it wouldn't make a difference. In short, you only need to know one thing: you can't kill me, and that's enough."

Zhou Liang stared at Xu Le, his eyes not showing any panic. I guessed he was definitely thinking of a solution to this problem.

After a short while, Zhou Liang discovered that he could move his hand again, and then laughed: "As expected of the people from the dam, you are indeed powerful. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here? I don't believe you came here just to kill me."

Xu Le smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I'm here to kill you."

After saying that, Xu Le fired his gun.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

Bang!

The conference room window shattered, and Zhou Liang crashed through it.

Seeing this, Xu Le decisively ran to the window. I followed him to the window and looked down. I instantly saw Zhou Liang land steadily on the ground and then stand up from the broken glass without any injury.

Xu Le fired several shots downwards, but none of them hit Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang was clever and found various blind spots to avoid Xu Le's attacks.

Without a second thought, Xu Le jumped out of the third-floor window.

He rolled on the ground once before landing safely.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but think, "Are they all inhuman?! This is the third floor! Most people who jump down would at least be seriously injured, but these two are perfectly fine."

Then, I saw Zhou Liang being chased by Xu Le from the window. During the chase, Zhou Liang kept shouting to the people around him, asking them to come and help him.

This change was completely unexpected.

Xu Le is truly amazing.

After hearing Zhou Liang's shout, the people below rushed over to help, but because there were many people and eyes in the central town, they dared not fire indiscriminately. So Xu Le decisively chased after Zhou Liang who was fleeing.

The two of them ran out of the town center in no time.

As for the people in our meeting room, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Xu Le is gone, so does that mean I'm all alone here?

Looking at the people standing at the window, I wondered who would be in charge in the meeting room now that Zhou Liang had been chased and escaped by Xu Le.

I glanced at Xu Sanshui, and Xu Sanshui nodded at me.

I don't understand what his nod meant.

The entire conference room was now quiet, because what we had just witnessed was so shocking that no one could react for a moment.

At this moment, Ye Qian stared at me and said, "Ye Cheng, go and arrest this Lu Xiaonan!"

Ye Cheng then drew his gun, walked over, and pointed it at my head.

I felt a bit helpless. Xu Le's departure left me without any support, so I had no choice but to surrender.

Left with no other choice, I was tied up by Ye Cheng and taken away.

Xu Sanshui didn't step forward to save me, obviously not wanting to reveal his identity. But that's fine too. If Xu Le really manages to kill Zhou Liang, he'll definitely come to the central town to clean up the mess, and then I'll be able to come out.

Of course, if Xu Le is killed by Zhou Liang, then I won't have to live either.

Ye Cheng dragged me to the prison in the central town.

This is my first time here.

After being locked in a room by Ye Cheng, he stared at me coldly and left without saying a word.

I feel helpless, being in this cell that smells of urine, I feel truly helpless.

Everything happened so fast. It all started when Xu Le gained the upper hand, then Zhou Liang jumped off the building, followed by the chase, and then I was arrested. It all felt so inexplicable.

It felt like a dream.

I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming, so all I could do was pray, pray that I could survive.
