Chapter 7 A Shared Escape
Lu Jinye remained calm and composed as he sat in his chair.
He merely tilted his head slightly to the right, and the flying knife tip grazed his ear before stabbing straight into the assailant's hand that was drawing a gun!
"Bang!"
The gun misfired, shooting a hole in the roof.
The assailant, his arm injured and his face ashen, was about to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground when a high heel kicked him from above!
The gun was kicked and spun 180 degrees in the air before changing hands and falling into Wen Ni's hands!
She raised one hand and aimed steadily at the assailant's head.
Lu Jinye's tough bodyguards were no pushovers either; with a few flying kicks, they pinned the other two thugs to the ground!
Good, overall their teamwork was pretty good.
"Oh my god!"
"That's so cool..."
At that moment, the guests realized that this girl was not an ordinary supervisor.
"Call the police! Call the police now!"
The crowd chattered excitedly, both amazed and terrified.
“I’ve already contacted the police,” Wen Ni said coldly. “They should be here soon.”
"Who exactly are you? And how did you discover these thugs?"
The troublesome bodyguard glanced at me warily, his eyes tinged with suspicion.
"She's my sister!"
Wen Cheng rushed forward, spreading her arms to protect Wen Ni. "My sister must have come here to find me because she was worried about me!"
Although he had no idea when his sister had developed such skill or learned to handle a gun...
But her sister definitely can't be a bad person!
Wen Ni lowered her eyes, gently patted Wen Cheng's shoulder, and when she turned to look at the troublesome bodyguard, her eyes were filled with contempt.
"Big forehead, are you doubting me?"
Qin Yuan looked around. A large forehead? Could it be referring to me?
"Stop looking. I'm talking to you. Is that thing hanging around your neck just for show? If I were with those thugs, why would I bother with that? I could just have them shoot him dead."
"All brawn and no brains."
"!?!"
"Qin Yuan, you're not good with words, you can't win an argument with her."
Before Qin Yuan could retort, Lu Jinye had already retorted.
Qin Yuan's inner monologue: Mr. Lu, are you sure you're not humiliating me with her?
"Hehehehe—!"
The thug kneeling under Wen Ni's gun suddenly chuckled softly, drawing everyone's attention. His laughter grew increasingly maniacal, his eyes bloodshot, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You think you're safe just because you've captured us?"
“I can tell you that we have people guarding outside the clubhouse! As soon as Lu Jinye walks out the door alive, they will immediately detonate the explosives that were planted in this building beforehand! At worst, everyone will be buried with him!”
"I already guessed all this without you having to tell me." Wen Ni glanced at her coldly. "If you really have caused so many deaths, China will not let you off the hook."
"As long as Lu Jinye is dead, our lives don't matter!"
"madman."
Wen Ni threw down a sentence.
She flipped her wrist, and the back of the gun struck the assailant hard on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious!
"He said there's gunpowder in this building!?"
The guests in the hall immediately became anxious again, and one by one they stood up in fear and unease, unsure whether to leave or stay!
Just then
Lu Jinye, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke up. His voice was low and calm. "Qin Yuan, arrange for everyone to evacuate through the safety exit. I'll be the last to leave."
The criminals' target was him; they wouldn't act unless he showed up!
"But Master Lu..."
"Indecisiveness will never lead to great things," Wen Ni scoffed.
Qin Yuan was practically tearing his hair out.
"Everyone, move this way!"
After composing himself, Qin Yuan opened the emergency exit, and everyone on the 8th floor rushed up after him.
Wen Ni turned and walked into the corridor, smashing the fire alarm with the butt of her gun. The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire building!
The perpetrators inside the hall were apprehended in time, so they didn't have time to send a message to their accomplices. She smashed the alarm as a smokescreen, just to cover up the true situation inside the building and make people outside mistakenly think that there was a fire, which is why the guests were evacuated urgently, thus prolonging the perpetrators' reaction time.
"Xiao Cheng, you should go with them too."
"Sister, aren't you leaving?!" Wen Cheng gripped her arm tightly.
Wen Ni turned around and glanced at Lu Jinye, who remained as steady as a mountain.
Her identity made it impossible for her to abandon everyone and leave alone!
"Don't worry, I have a way to get away from this."
"No... Sister!"
“If you don’t leave, none of us can leave. Trust me, Xiaocheng.”
"...Okay, sister, I'll wait for you outside. You must come out safely!"
Wen Ni nodded.
She watched Wen Cheng turn back every few steps, finally disappearing into the passageway entrance with the crowd.
"You just said you had a way to leave, what is it?" Lu Jinye looked at her with unfathomable eyes.
"Rafting."
"Rafting!?"
When Qin Yuan returned and heard those two words, he repeated them in surprise before saying, "You actually know how to use surrender techniques?"
That makes sense when you think about it.
She dares to snatch a gun, so what is there that she can't do?
"Can you?" Wen Ni asked Qin Yuan in return.
Yes, I will.
"So, if even you can do it, how could I not?"
"...!?"
Qin Yuan didn't bother talking to her; that girl had a sharp tongue!
All the gauze curtains in the hall were twisted together and lowered through the corner window.
A black sedan was already waiting there.
Qin Yuan went down first, cautiously surveying her surroundings, followed by Lu Jinye, with Wen Ni bringing up the rear.
A normal rappelling from an eight-story building takes a maximum of two seconds.
But in the two seconds that Wen Ni descended, a gunshot rang out from afar, growing louder as it approached!
The bullet narrowly missed.
But it shattered the gauze curtain she was tightly holding!
Just as she was about to fall, someone suddenly pulled her arm upwards, perfectly preventing her from crashing into the ground.
She looked up and met Lu Jinye's expressionless face.
The next second, he stuffed her into the car like he was stuffing cotton...
"Bang!"
"It's a sniper!"
As soon as Wen Ni sat down, she looked at Lu Jinye with a sensitive gaze.
But he looked perfectly normal and took a long stride to sit down, so he probably wasn't hit.
Qin Yuan stepped on the gas in the driver's seat, the engine roared, and they sped away!
Before they could even catch their breath, Qin Yuan spotted the car relentlessly pursuing them from behind, and in anger, he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
"These bastards actually caught up with us! Damn it, I'll have Barron stop them!"
"no."
"Mr. Lu, as long as Baron doesn't say anything, the old man won't know!"
"I said, no way!"
Lu Jinye's breathing became slightly disordered, which Wen Ni noticed immediately.
It was only then that she noticed the blood spreading around Lu Jinye's waist, which had soaked his shirt!
"Are you injured?"
"What did you say! Master Lu is injured?" Qin Yuan, who was driving, felt a pang of anxiety.
