As he spoke, he gestured for the tall, thin man to grab Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru did not refute, but kept her eyes fixed on He Yanzhi not far away, watching him quietly draw his sidearm from his waist, slowly raise it, and aim it at the tall, thin man's back...
She knew that a turning point was coming soon.
The moment the couple's eyes met, Guan Wenru suddenly shielded He Yi and He Qi behind her, gripping the children's arms tightly with both hands.
"Kick the gun over here! Don't try anything funny!"
The tall, thin man slowly approached Guan Wenru, gun in hand. "Don't move! Move again and I'll kill you!"
The tall, thin guy is getting closer and closer...
Now!
He Yanzhi burst out from behind the crowd like an arrow, his sidearm steadily raised!
Bang!
Bang!
The two shots were swift and decisive, the bullets hitting the scarred man and the tall, thin man's wrists with pinpoint accuracy!
The guns in their hands fell to the ground instantly, the spent cartridges bounced twice on the ground, and rolled into the dust.
"Damn it! He Yanzhi!"
Scarface was stunned for a second, then cursed like a madman. Blood dripped from his wrists through his fingers, but he didn't care. He reached out to throw He Sheng, whom he was holding, onto the hard yellow dirt road, yelling, "I'll make your son die with you! We'll both die!"
The tall, thin man's eyes also turned red. Enduring the pain in his arm, he reached out to grab the gun on the ground, wanting to take someone down with him before he died.
He Yanzhi charged forward while firing again.
Bang!
Bang!
The two shots hit the tall, thin man in the shoulder and the scarred man in the other arm, respectively.
Seeing He Sheng being thrown to the ground, Guan Wenru rushed over like an arrow and opened her arms to catch him.
He Yanzhi was also charging forward, his gun never stopping.
With another bang, a shot struck the tall, thin man precisely in the chest. He groaned, his body arched backward, and he fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, soon losing his breath.
Immediately afterward, He Yanzhi fired another shot, the bullet hitting Scarface in the abdomen. Scarface staggered, loosened his grip on He Sheng's hand, and fell down as well.
He Sheng fell out of Scarface's arms, and cried with his eyes closed in fright.
Guan Wenru lunged forward in time, catching her son steadily with her chest and arms. However, the weight of the child, combined with the momentum of her rush, caused her to crash to the ground with a thud.
She felt a piercing pain in her chest, as if something had broken. The pain made her groan involuntarily, and cold sweat instantly soaked through the back of her clothes.
"Mother!"
He Sheng snuggled against her, crying, and seeing her pained expression, he cried even louder, "Mommy! Daddy! Help Mommy!"
He Yi and He Qi also ran over, squatted down, and grabbed her clothes, crying, "Mom! What's wrong? Don't scare us!"
Who would have thought that the scarred man who had just collapsed was still on his last breath!
He lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and groped around behind his waist, pulling out a rusty dagger.
That was the last weapon he had hidden in his belt.
He struggled to lift his upper body and thrust the dagger towards He Sheng, who was still in Guan Wenru's arms, only half a foot away from the dagger!
"don't want!"
Without a second thought, Guan Wenru turned around abruptly, presenting her back to the dagger.
With a soft thud, the dagger plunged deep into her back, the blade almost disappearing from the hilt. Blood instantly soaked through her blue cloth jacket, dripping down the hem onto the yellow dirt road, spreading out in a small patch of dark red.
A gasp rippled through the surrounding crowd; some covered their mouths in shock, while others shouted:
"Oh my god! Quick, call a doctor!"
"Commander He! Quick, save them!"
He Yanzhi rushed over and saw this scene. His pupils shrank, as if all his strength had been drained away, or as if he had been ignited with a raging fire.
He roared and lunged forward, stomping hard on Scarface's chest.
With a crack, the sound of bones breaking rang out. Scarface didn't even utter a sound before his head lolled to the side, and he was completely dead.
He Yanzhi was trembling all over, even his fingers were shaking uncontrollably.
He carefully crouched down, not daring to touch Guan Wenru's back, and could only gently lift her and He Sheng in his arms together.
When his hand touched the blood on her back, he panicked. His voice became hoarse, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, and he shouted incoherently:
"Wenru! Wenru! Don't be afraid! It's alright! I'm here! You'll be fine! I'll take you to the hospital right now! Let's go to the hospital!"
Guan Wenru leaned against him, too weak from the pain to even open her eyes, but she still managed to force a smile and whisper, "The child... the child..."
"It's alright! Everything's alright!"
He Yanzhi nodded quickly, tears welling up in his eyes!
He had seen life and death on the battlefield all his life, and he had never been so panicked. The person in his arms at this moment was his life, and he was terrified of losing her!
"The children are all fine, don't speak yet, save your strength!"
Guan Wenru felt a piercing pain and fainted immediately!
