Chapter 95 Taking a bullet for you, unable to restrain myself
Gunshots are the best signal
Lu Jingyan's team surged in from four directions like tigers descending a mountain, their crossfire instantly overwhelming the assassins who were still temporarily blinded by the bright light, preventing them from raising their heads.
The bullets whistled through the air, striking the metal cargo box and scattering a shower of sparks.
"First team, flank from the left! Second team, suppress from the right! Li Hu, follow me!"
Lu Jingyan's voice, though pierced by the cacophony of gunfire, reached clearly into the ears of every soldier.
Like a nimble cheetah, he charged forward at high speed through a hail of bullets in an unbelievable zigzag pattern.
His only target was the man codenamed "Ghost" who was hiding deep inside the warehouse.
Capture him alive!
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, the scene was quite different.
The Ghost was in shock. He never dreamed that his carefully planned hunt would turn into an ambush!
That plague god Lu Jingyan hasn't left at all!
What sent chills down his spine and made his scalp tingle was the silent harvesting from the darkness.
"puff."
One of his men, who was blindly firing his gun, suddenly froze. A tiny spot of blood appeared on his throat. He clutched his neck in disbelief but couldn't make a sound. He collapsed limply to the ground.
"Old Six? Old Six, what's wrong?"
The person next to him turned around and felt a numbness on the back of his neck, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee. His vision went black instantly, and he followed in his companion's footsteps.
Fear, like an invisible poisonous vine, tightly entwined the ghost's heart.
His people are being silently and meticulously eliminated by an unseen Grim Reaper in an almost artistic way.
He couldn't even see a shadow of the enemy!
run!
This thought took over his mind like crazy.
The ghost stopped fighting, rolled away, hid behind a row of huge shelves, and rushed madly toward the secret passage that had been left in advance.
That place connects to the sewers; it was his last chance to survive!
However, when he rushed to the entrance of the passage in a disheveled state, he seemed to be frozen in place, as if he had been struck by a spell.
A slender, graceful figure in black stood there quietly.
Atractylodes macrocephala!
The ghost's pupils shrank to the most dangerous pinpoints at that moment!
He was like he'd seen a ghost; he simply couldn't connect the woman in front of him, who exuded an aura of death, with the weak and helpless Hong Kong businessman, Mr. Bai, from his file!
And how did she know about this place?
"you……"
There was no time to think, nor was there any room for him to think. The extreme danger made the ghost's body move faster than his brain. He roared, raised his gun, and frantically pulled the trigger at the figure!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Facing the gun barrel spitting fire, Bai Shu twisted his body to the side at an angle incomprehensible to ordinary people, his entire body sliding along the ground as if it had no bones.
Several bullets grazed her hair, the gust of wind ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead.
Now!
In the brief moment when the ghost, having run out of bullets, had a few seconds to catch its breath, Su Wantang moved!
She used the Bagua Step, her figure swayed, and she instantly closed in on the ghost!
The whole process was so smooth and fast that it left only a blur!
A hint of despair flashed in the ghost's eyes. He tried to retreat, but found that his body couldn't keep up with the speed of his opponent!
Just as that fair, jade-like hand, yet containing terrifying power, was about to press against his chest—
"careful!"
A heart-wrenching scream came from the side and behind!
Almost at the same time, a stray bullet, which seemed to have shot out from some unknown corner, hurtled straight towards Bai Shu's unsuspecting back!
In that instant, every hair on Su Wantang's body stood on end!
She could feel the trajectory of the bullet, but she was rushing forward and had no time to dodge!
The shadow of death once again enveloped her.
At this critical moment, a tall figure, with a fearless and crazy attitude, leaped out from behind the side shelf!
It's Lu Jingyan!
He used his own body to form a human wall, standing behind her without hesitation!
"puff--!"
The dull thud of bullets piercing flesh, amidst the chaotic gunfight, was as clear as a drumbeat, striking heavily on Su Wantang's heart.
Immediately following was a muffled groan from Lu Jingyan, suppressed to the extreme.
The whole world seemed to be slowed down at that moment.
Su Wantang turned around and only had time to see Lu Jingyan's face, which had turned deathly pale from the intense pain, and the overwhelming fear and determination in his eyes.
Time seemed to stand still.
An unprecedented, unfamiliar, and violent emotion erupted like a volcano, instantly shattering all the rationality and coldness that Su Wantang had built up using the identity of "Bai Shu".
She didn't even have time to think; her body had already reacted instinctively.
Faced with the ghost who was momentarily distracted by this sudden turn of events, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes. With a swift and precise backhand chop, she struck the ghost's neck.
"Well……"
The ghost didn't even utter a sound; its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed limply to the ground.
Su Wantang didn't even glance at the fallen ghost. She turned around abruptly and supported the tall body that was swaying precariously due to the intense pain and blood loss.
The warm, viscous liquid quickly seeped through the fabric of his military uniform and soaked her palms.
The familiar smell of blood stung her nose and made her eyes throb.
"Lu Jingyan!"
She yelled at him, her voice filled with anxiety and a violent tremor that she herself was unaware of; it was no longer the cold, composed voice of Bai Shu, the Hong Kong businessman.
Instead, it belonged to Su Wantang, carrying a touch of the softness of the Jiangnan water towns, yet sharpened by anger and fear.
"You're insane!"
How dare he! How dare he use his own body to block bullets! Did he know he would die! Did he know...?
Countless chaotic thoughts exploded in Su Wantang's mind, leaving her completely blank.
Lu Jingyan's tall body weighed almost entirely on her.
His lips were bloodless from the pain, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and the excruciating pain in his back was almost tearing his consciousness apart.
But when he looked at her, at the intense worry and fear that could no longer be concealed in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, he smiled.
A weak, yet incredibly satisfied smile.
very nice.
She would still worry about him.
That's enough.
With his last bit of strength, Lu Jingyan rested his head on her shoulder and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Got you... Wan Tang."
After saying this, he could no longer hold on, his body suddenly sank, and he completely lost consciousness in her panicked embrace.
"Boss!"
"Commander Lu!"
Li Hu and several soldiers finally cleared out the surrounding enemies and rushed over like madmen. When they saw the horrific blood hole behind Lu Jingyan and Boss Bai lying in his arms, everyone was stunned and terrified.
"Quick! Call the army doctor!!" Li Hu's roar echoed in the empty warehouse, tinged with a sob.
Su Wantang held the heavy man in her arms and knelt on the cold cement floor, which was covered in blood and dust.
She lowered her head and looked at the man's handsome face, which was as pale as paper due to blood loss. She reached out her hand, wanting to touch him, but her hand trembled violently in mid-air.
A hot, uncontrollable drop of liquid slid down her cheek and landed on Lu Jingyan's face.
