Chapter 275 Facing Death to Live, Moving Forward Together
Wen Ni originally thought that in such a dangerous situation, Lu Jinye would hide himself or be protected by the Lu family's bodyguards! In short, he shouldn't be here at all.
But when her gaze passed over Lu Jinye and looked behind him, she saw Qin Yuan and his men methodically evacuating the crowd and helping those who had been shot!
Not a single person backed down, and not a single person stood idly by.
But these things have nothing to do with them; they have no responsibility, much less an obligation, to do so...
"Boss! I've already arranged for men to track the gunman's location! You guys find somewhere to hide right now! Leave this to me and the officers at the police station!"
Beside him, Song Yanfeng, who had already taken off his tactical mask, ran over quickly. With a solemn expression, he reached out and helped the injured young man onto Lu Jinye's back!
"Hide?" Wen Ni's voice was cold and brooked no argument. "Don't forget, I'm a soldier too."
“But boss, you did ask for leave from Captain Lu, and you're on leave now…” Song Yanfeng wanted to persuade him further.
“How could she possibly stay put in such a critical situation?” Lu Jinye suddenly spoke, his handsome face full of certainty as he turned to Wen Ni, his words calm and reassuring. “Leave this to us, you can go and do what you should do!”
"Give it to you? What if his target is you?" Wen Ni stared intently at Lu Jinye, her fingers still tightly gripping his arm, refusing to let go.
“Then I shouldn’t leave.” Lu Jinye’s eyes were upturned at the corners, but they held bitterness and determination. “If so many people are hurt because of me, then it’s my responsibility, and I should bear it! That’s all I can do. But you’re different. You can bring the murderer to justice and punish the bad guys! I believe in you, and I believe you can do it too!”
This moment
Lu Jinye, as reflected in Wen Ni's eyes, seemed to radiate golden light in the darkness. Such light stung her eyes, but she was willing to continue chasing this ultimate brilliance!
The hand that was on his arm was withdrawn without hesitation.
"After all, you're injured, so take care of yourself! If you really can't hold on, don't push yourself; just leave it to Qin Yuan and the others!"
"rest assured."
Lu Jinye nodded solemnly.
He didn't say anything more, but resolutely turned around and helped the injured young man walk towards a safe place!
Wen Ni stood there, watching their backs and their slightly unsteady steps.
A phrase she had once heard suddenly popped into her mind, stirring something within her!
How could a good relationship become a burden? Your partner will only support you in moving forward without hesitation, allowing you to charge ahead without worries! When you are battered and bruised, they will become the source of your courage to break through the darkness and face death!
Right now.
In the blink of an eye.
Wen Ni, who was always teased for lacking a spark of emotion, seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of those words...
Behind
The gunshots rang out like a string of beads, rattling and clattering incessantly, accompanied by the panicked screams of the crowd!
Wen Ni suddenly turned around
She stood there in this world, automatically blocking out all the noise around her. His eyes, ears, and heart were focused only on the sound of gunfire.
The brain automatically calculates and forms a circular table with the approximate direction of the gunshot, the location of the person shot, and even the wind speed, wind resistance, and type of gun at that moment!
The horizontal and vertical axes intertwine and eventually converge into a single aiming point!
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly looked up.
A sharp and focused gaze instantly swept past the buildings in front, locking onto the towering, magnificent building standing amidst the dim lights!
"Found it! The new 366Z submachine gun with automatic fire! The sound was coming from that direction!"
"Boss? So fast! You've already located the gunman?" Song Yanfeng excitedly clenched his fist.
As expected, it still took their boss to make a move!
Keep in mind that even with so many people working at the police station, they still haven't been able to determine a general direction.
Looking again, Wen Ni had already calmed down and strode forward!
More than half of the audience has already been evacuated! However, some audience members, including the injured, have not been able to leave. Obviously, these people have been used as moving live targets by the gunmen, and what awaits them is an even more frenzied continuous shooting!
The gunman must be found before things become irreparable.
Time is running out for them!
Within the range of bullets, all streets and buildings extending outward from the outdoor performance venue were completely blocked off in a short period of time.
However, the scope is too large, making the search very time-consuming!
"The shooter used a silencer and flash hider. Because he wasn't firing continuously, and the area around the field was too open with strong echoes, it was very difficult for us. We couldn't even pinpoint the shooter's location!"
Police car cordon area
Senior police officers and government personnel at the scene gathered together, holding a city planning map, and were having a tense and serious discussion about the current case!
"We must expand the search area and capture this damned guy!"
"Eight minutes have passed since the gunman opened fire. The exact number of dead and injured at the scene is unknown, and the number of casualties among our officers who entered the scene for rescue is also still unknown. At this point, it is almost unrealistic to send another batch of people to expand the search area. We simply don't have enough manpower."
"We can't just let him fire indiscriminately until he's satisfied, can we?"
Just when everyone was at their wits' end.
A young girl's voice, though serious and earnest, suddenly rang out!
"Of course we can't let him run rampant and challenge the authority of Chinese law! I've located the gunman, so I'm calling back a team of officers who were out searching for him to come with me to make the arrest!"
"What?"
"You? Who are you? Who let you in?"
Government officials and senior police officers all turned around.
What appeared in their line of sight was a girl wearing a light blue sweater? The girl wore a hat and a mask, revealing only a pair of bright and piercing eyes that were extraordinary!
"Why does this girl look so familiar?"
"I remember now, isn't she the drummer who was performing on stage just now?"
"A drummer? But what did she just say? She pinpointed the gunman's location? Even with so many of us, we couldn't completely pinpoint the gunman's location, how did she do it? And now, she actually wants a whole team of us to go with her to catch him?"
To them, this was rather ridiculous.
Faced with their undisguised doubts, Wen Ni remained calm and composed throughout. She was already used to such misunderstandings and questions!
If she hadn't risked her life to become China's youngest special forces officer, given her current age of just over twenty and her seemingly delicate female appearance, whatever she said would only elicit rejection and contempt from others!
He was just about to reach into her clothes to reveal his identity.
Song Yanfeng, who had been following behind her, also walked in!
The privates and police officers standing to the left and right were still saying, "Captain Song, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be on the scene right now?"
"I'm here because our boss has located the gunman! I'm here to allocate some manpower for her to come with us to the scene to make the arrest!"
"Your boss?"
Everyone present showed confusion and surprise!
Then Song Yanfeng pointed to Wen Ni in front of him and said, "That's right, she's my boss, a major in the Chinese Army! She's also my direct superior! She's on leave recently and just happened to be here when this happened!"
