Chapter 184 - Don't Let Go
Chapter 184 - Don't Let Go
It was late at night the day after Secretary Cui’s visit.
"……who……?!"
The 'dong dong dong' vibration and the loud roar that echoed in the house suddenly woke Ning Fei up. When he opened his eyes and turned over in the dark, he felt movement around him.
"I'll go take a look." Duan Yunhong had already sat up and lifted the quilt. He didn't sound sleepy at all, and it was obvious that he had quickly woken up from his dream. They are all people who can quickly wake up, which is an essential skill for saving lives in some war-torn worlds.
"I'll go too." Ning Fei also got out of bed, grabbed a robe and put it on quickly in the dark, "Remember to take your gun."
Pop.
Duan Yunhong opened the bedside lamp with a painted shade and replied as he opened the bedside drawer, "You too."
"I know." Ning Fei quickly fastened the belt of his nightgown, took out a gun from the drawer of the bedside table on the other side, and loaded it with bullets. His movements were very skillful. "Tsk, if you ask me, you shouldn't separate the gun and bullets. What if someone breaks into the room directly? You still have to work hard to load bullets one by one. Can you be in a hurry?"
"These days, if I put a gun like this next to the bed, I'm afraid it will accidentally go off and hit my head." Duan Yunhong walked to the door of the room while quickly reloading. When they really got to this place, he stopped talking instead. He just put one hand on the door lock buckle and signaled Ning Fei with his eyes.
Ning Fei stood silently behind the wall beside the door, pointing the gun in the direction of the door, and nodded.
The next moment, Duan Yunhong quickly turned the door lock buckle, twisted the door handle, and suddenly opened the door!
It was pitch black outside.
Just at this moment, the noise from downstairs came up more clearly. There was the thumping of wooden floors by footsteps, the sound of porcelain breaking on the floor, as well as angry shouts and shouts of encouragement. What's more, there seemed to be footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs.
Duan Yunhong and Ning Fei looked at each other and walked out of the door tacitly.
The lights in the corridor were all out and I couldn't see clearly. Ning Fei stared at the end of the darkness, taking one step at a time, silently. He also listened carefully and could tell that someone was injured at the other end of the stairs. There were at least two pairs of feet in the hurried and panicked footsteps. He could tell that the one in front had already reached the second floor, which meant he was within five meters.
"who?!"
Ning Fei suddenly shouted in the darkness, and his footsteps seemed to freeze for a moment, but no one answered.
The next moment, Ning Fei decisively pulled the trigger!
Bang!
Bang! ! !
Duan Yunhong also opened fire right after that!
“Ah…!” A painful whimper came from the darkness not far away, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Apart from these noises, the gunshots seemed to silence the entire house, and all action was paused for a moment.
Ning Fei didn't freeze, he pulled the safety pin and spoke again: "Answer me! Who are you?!"
“Ahhhhh!!!” The only response he got was a rapidly approaching roar, the tone of which sounded unfamiliar. Ning Fei fired again without hesitation, and two more gunshots were heard!
With a bang, another one fell down.
No more footsteps dared to approach here, but instead there was a voice gradually moving away, and it was heard that someone was running back to the first floor in panic.
"Don't run! Stop...!" The familiar voices of the doorman and the servant were heard again downstairs, obviously going to catch the escaped person.
Ning Fei waited for a while, until his vision had completely adapted to the darkness and confirmed that there were only two "anthropomorphic objects" lying on the ground in the corridor on the second floor, and then he finally put down his gun.
The two men were breathing in less than out, and their moans were very weak. But neither Ning Fei nor Duan Yunhong had any intention of saving the patient, and they would not even go forward to check.
In the darkness, only Ning Fei sneered disdainfully: "Tsk, within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate, and you dare to charge?"
***
Soon, the whole mansion was brightly lit, and the servants were busy upstairs and downstairs.
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong returned to the bedroom, put down their guns, covered themselves with blankets, and took a nap on the sofa while waiting for the result. Just when they were about to fall asleep again, they finally received the report from the maid.
The three people who broke in at night were thieves, or rather, hooligans from the nearby streets.
It is said that they saw that someone suddenly moved into this house. After asking around, they confirmed that it was a foreign businessman who had just arrived. They then concluded that this family's ability to prevent disasters should not be very good, so they could try to make some money. They climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and crawled into the house through a window on the first floor that was forgotten to be closed. But they made quite a noise in the dark and woke up the concierge. The doorman woke up several servants and chased them around.
Two of them ran to the second floor in panic, and were shot twice by Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong, hitting them in the chest and abdomen. A knife fell from the side of the man behind. It seemed that when Ning Fei questioned him for the second time, this man could no longer bear the pressure of his accomplice being shot, and he raised the knife to fight. Only after he fell to the ground did the third person hurried back, fearing that the bullet from upstairs would also hit him.
Anyway, when the maid went to check, the two people on the second floor were lying in a pool of blood, unable to open their eyes or breathe with their mouths open. Even the miracle doctor was powerless to save them. When they were moved downstairs, they were completely out of breath and died in front of their accomplices.
The accomplice was scared half to death and begged for mercy desperately. The maid came to Duan Yunhong to ask how to deal with the living person and the two dead bodies.
"According to your local rules, you should deal with him the same way other families deal with burglars." Duan Yunhong slowly wiped the muzzle of the gun with a handkerchief. "As for the two who were shot dead, do you still need to ask? Can't they just be thrown into the mass grave outside Pingdu? Do you think someone should wear mourning clothes for them?"
"...Yes." There was no sign of surprise on the maid's face, which showed that this kind of thing was not uncommon in Pingdu. Before he left, Duan Yunhong gave him ten dollars and asked him to share it equally with the people who caught the thief tonight.
The maid naturally changed her mood and went out happily.
Duan Yunhong also followed him to the door and locked it again. When I turned around, Ning Fei had already climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
"So fast?" Duan Yunhong put away his gun and returned to bed. "Do you really need to race against time to get back under the covers?"
Ning Fei turned her back to him without turning her head: "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? You don't feel cold, but I am."
"So, what about this?" Duan Yunhong turned off the lights and hugged him from behind. "I thought you would talk to me about those three thieves."
Ning Fei actually didn't like this feeling of restraint when sleeping, but Duan Yunhong, this big guy, was really warm, which immediately drove away all the coldness of the night. So Ning Fei didn't move, and replied lazily: "It's just a thief. Aren't there too many of these things these days? What's there to talk about?"
"I don't think they came here on their own initiative." Duan Yunhong's voice rang in his ears, magnetic, low, and hypnotic. "Do you still remember that in your world, the church let hooligans break into your house at night to teach you a lesson?"
"...You mean, those three thieves were also sent by someone else to teach you a lesson?" Ning Fei had already closed his eyes, but he still replied, "Who, the one with the surname Cui?"
"Who else could it be besides him? He's the only one who has a grudge against us in Pingdu." Duan Yunhong analyzed, "They may not want us to really suffer. They may just be warning us that Pingdu is not safe, and the only way to be safe is to please them."
"Psycho." Ning Fei moved, but did not struggle out of the man's arms. She just adjusted to a more comfortable position and put her hand on the other's arm. "I don't want to cause any more trouble. If you don't have any other plans, you can leave early. I don't want to stay until New Year's Eve. By then, the temperature will drop below zero. I really don't want to move at all."
"Don't you want to see the red walls and white snow?"
"I was lying to the dancers, and you believed me?"
"Then... I'll leave in a few days." Duan Yunhong touched the back of his neck, where he smelled a faint fragrance. It was the moisturizing and anti-dryness cream that Ning Fei had applied. Ning Fei's taste and preference have always been fixed, and the scents of the items he uses are also of the same type. Duan Yunhong was used to the smell and always felt much more peaceful when he smelled it.
"In a few days..." Ning Fei thought of something and said faintly, "Are you planning a surprise for me? Your intentions are too obvious."
"Don't guess yet. I'm afraid you're too smart. It would be meaningless if you guessed it right." Duan Yunhong laughed softly. "As for my intention, wasn't it obvious all along? You are the one who is trying to cover up your intentions and turning a blind eye."
"I'm so sleepy, stop talking nonsense." Ning Fei pinched the skin on the back of the man's hand, "I'm warning you, don't do anything that will embarrass or embarrass me."
"for example?"
"You really want me to give you an example?" Ning Fei said, "Let me be frank. I hate stupidity. If you can't even guess this, please get out from behind me now."
"Ha, you said you hate stupidity to me, but why do you care about the mentally retarded people who travel through time?" Duan Yunhong didn't leave, but got closer. "I just want to ask you, if I did something that made you even a little bit satisfied, do you dare to be honest about your satisfaction? Do you have a little more courage to listen to my truth?"
"'A little bit of satisfaction' is your goal? Am I so worthless that I'm willing to take the bait with just a little bit of satisfaction?" Ning Fei sneered, "I'm not that cheap."
Duan Yunhong said: "Your 'little bit' is equal to thousands and thousands of bits to others. No one is more difficult to deal with than you."
Ning Fei pulled his hand away and said coldly: "Who are you competing with? Tell me."
"No one, I'm just trying to provoke you." Duan Yunhong refused to let go and held him tightly. "You compared me to him so many times in bed, what did I say? I still let you compare me one by one."
"Fuck, have you never compared yourself with me in your heart?" Ning Fei pulled his hand harder, "Who has less experience? If you want to bring up this old matter, do it now... Hey!"
Ning Fei covered the back of his neck that had been kissed, and finally turned over to push the man away: "What on earth are you doing? If you don't want to sleep, let go and get out..."
"Well, I compared it in my mind."
Duan Yunhong suddenly said this, which made Ning Fei stunned. But the next moment, Duan Yunhong grabbed the person into his arms and used his weight to half-pin Ning Fei, leaving Ning Fei without any means to fight back.
"I just tried it and I'm 100 percent, 100 percent, 100 percent sure. I can't let go."
