Blood splattered, covering the entire driver's seat.
Warm drops of blood splashed onto my face.
I was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that my mind went completely blank.
They could only watch helplessly as Luo Tianhe's body went limp and slumped down.
how so?
In an instant, it felt as if my head was being stabbed by a million steel needles at the same time.
The excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave, making me feel like I was dying.
I could no longer bear it and let out a scream.
Just then, a sound suddenly came from beside me—
"Hold".
Immediately afterwards, Luo Tianhe's familiar voice rang out: "Damn it, Lao Chen, are you out of your mind? Why are you yelling so loudly? You scared the hell out of me."
Luo Tianhe?
Wasn't he nailed to the driver's seat with a steel pipe?
I felt as if I were being pulled by an invisible force, and I slowly turned my head.
I saw Luo Tianhe standing there, looking at me with a dissatisfied expression.
Not only that, but the black bear and the monkey next to him were also looking at me with blank expressions.
I looked around and realized that this wasn't a car at all; it was clearly the surveillance room we had been in before!
The computers in the room still emitted a faint blue light, and the screens continued to display images of various rooms.
How could this be? How did I end up back here?
Weren't we escaping and in the car?
All of this happened so bizarrely, like an absurd dream, that I was completely baffled.
"Old Chen, are you alright? You look terrible."
Luo Tianhe's voice came again.
This time, there was a hint of concern in his tone.
He took a step forward and reached out as if to touch my forehead to see if I had a fever.
Before I could even reply, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.
A man shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop! Don't run!"
Immediately afterwards, other voices came: "Xiao Li, go to the alley on the left and block the exit! Xiao Wang, you come with me and chase them from the front, don't let them get away!"
Judging from the noise, it seems like several people are acting separately, and it sounds like they're chasing someone.
"What's going on?" Luo Tianhe's expression instantly turned serious.
He turned around quickly, his eyes blazing, staring intently at the doorway.
The black bear and the monkey were startled by the sudden footsteps.
No, it's the voice, the conversation.
Soon, Sister Hei ran up.
"Sister Hei," Luo Tianhe called out.
Blackie, panting heavily, said, "Brother Luo, something bad has happened! The anti-prostitution squad is here! I don't know how they got the information, but they surrounded this area as soon as they arrived."
"I was downstairs just now and I saw them start arresting people. A few girls couldn't escape and got caught red-handed."
My mind went blank for a second, like it was about to explode.
Before Luo Tianhe could ask, I blurted out, "Is Brother Li leading the team?"
Sister Hei was taken aback: "It's Brother Li."
Luo Tianhe looked at me in surprise: "Old Chen, you also know the gambling bastard Li?"
Gambler Li?
I told him I didn't know any gambling addict Li, and I just wanted to ask if the person coming was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face.
Blackie didn't know why I asked that, but she nodded nonetheless.
How could this happen? Didn't this just happen?
Reincarnation?
Illusion?
The intense pain from before surged back into my brain, making me feel dizzy.
I slapped myself hard.
It hurts like fire.
Is this not a dream?
But this clearly happened before.
"Old Chen, are you having a relapse?"
I grabbed Luo Tianhe and looked at him seriously: "Slap me twice."
"What?"
Luo Tianhe thought he had misheard.
I repeated: "Give me two slaps, and use some force."
"you……"
"Trust me and I will..."
Before I could finish speaking, Luo Tianhe slapped me across the face.
My head started buzzing, and I almost lost my bearings.
Are you alright?
Luo Tianhe quickly helped me up.
"fine."
I shook my head, feeling like he was about to smash my brain to pieces.
"Then you'd better stand firm, there's another slap coming."
Luo Tianhe took two steps back, rolled up his sleeves, and breathed into his right palm.
I quickly raised my hand: "It's okay, it's okay."
"I'm afraid that's not enough, is it?" Luo Tianhe said, still wanting more.
Are you trying to kill me?
"Brother Luo, listen to me, Brother Li is coming up later and he's going to set a trap for us..."
Before I could finish speaking, Brother Li had already brought his men up.
Oh no, we've wasted too much time.
Upon seeing Brother Li, Luo Tianhe walked up with a beaming smile, offered him a cigarette, and greeted him warmly, "Brother Li, long time no see! What brings you here today?"
Brother Li took the cigarette and replied with a smile, "Brother Luo, I'm really sorry."
"Well, a new leader has been transferred from above, and he's given a strict order to crack down on this area. We brothers have no choice but to rely on you to put up with us so we can make a living."
Luo Tianhe nodded, understandingly saying, "Brother Li, I understand. It's all for work. I will definitely cooperate as needed. I just hope that Brother Li can take care of us. These are just small businesses, and we can't afford to lose money."
Brother Li patted Luo Tianhe on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Brother Luo, as long as you cooperate, you'll just pay a fine and that'll be the end of it. Your man won't be mistreated in there."
Exactly the same, exactly the same as what just happened.
