Chapter 21 is time to end.
Country A, at sea.
Mu Yang sat in the chair, looking at Su Hengyi with sharp eyes.
It feels like being stared at by a venomous snake, which is very uncomfortable.
Su Heng looked at Mu Yang coldly, "What do you want to play?"
Mu Yang negotiated with the police, agreeing to allow Su Hengyi to board the ship alone, or he would kill the hostage.
Mu Yang sat on the deck, looking up at the sky filled with dark clouds. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Don't rush, sit down, I'll explain the rules of the game to you slowly."
Su Heng stood still.
Mu Yang had a chair brought over. "We'll have to wait a bit. Don't rush, sit down and let's talk."
Su Hengyi's gaze immediately fell on Mu Guangcheng. Then he looked up at the churning dark clouds and quickly guessed what Mu Yang was waiting for.
His cold gaze seemed to suggest something.
Mu Yang spoke first, "You don't need to talk to me. This game can't be played until the time is right. You need to understand that the hostages are in my hands. If I'm not happy, I'll kill them both. Sit down, Su Hengyi, you can't afford to gamble with me."
Su Hengyi seemed to be trying his best to suppress something, probably refraining from killing the madman in front of him with a single shot.
He sat down in the chair.
Mu Yang handed him a gun. "This gun only has one bullet in it, and it can be fired nine times. Only one of them can survive. Whoever is unlucky enough to have their rope broken will die. Of course, you can also choose to shoot only one person's rope, then only that person will die."
When Mu Yang said this, he looked at Gu Yuanyuan. As if he had been tickled by something, a cold and wicked laugh suddenly escaped from his throat, as if he was very happy.
Gu Yuanyuan's eyelids were heavy. He listened to these words, which seemed to come from both near and far, without ever raising his head.
In fact, even if Su Hengyi only wanted him to die, he would be willing to die at Su Hengyi's hands.
"Are you done talking?"
Su Heng asked coldly.
Mu Yang suppressed his smile.
Su Heng raised his gun.
Mu Yang's expression hardened, and he raised his gun to point at Su Hengyi. "Stop! This game can only be played if I say it's starting. Not yet."
Rain began to fall from the sky, and soon it grew from a light drizzle to a downpour.
Su Hengyi put down his gun, and Mu Yang followed suit.
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi and shouted, "Go ahead and bet, Su Hengyi. One gun for each of us. Whether I die today or not, I won't blame you."
Su Heng pursed his lips and remained silent.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and huge waves were rising at sea. The ship was rocking violently, and the towering waves would sometimes crash against the ship, soaking the clothes of the people on board.
One of the bodyguards standing on the edge was knocked down by the wave.
Mu Yang smiled and led Su Hengyi into the cabin, then up to the third-floor corridor.
From here, some distance away, directly facing Mu Guangcheng and Gu Yuanyuan who were being hoisted up, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, and the boat was rocking violently.
Mu Yang instructed his bodyguards, "Speed up as fast as you can, shake off those cops. They're afraid to chase us, they're scared of dying."
After saying that, Mu Yang turned his head to look at Su Hengyi, "As expected of Su Hengyi, even now that the three of you have become pieces on my chessboard, you can still remain so calm."
Su Heng remained silent, his eyes dark and intense. "I just want to know when the game starts. I want to save him."
"Do you only want to save one person?"
"yes."
"As expected, I like your personality."
Mu Yang didn't ask Su Hengyi who he wanted to save. His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent and excitement, the excitement of playing this game.
A normal person's thinking cannot measure the madness of someone.
The large ship sailed at full speed across the stormy sea, disregarding the danger. The police boat, as expected, hesitated and looked back. Unlike the criminals, they were not afraid of death, so they lagged far behind.
Gu Yuanyuan squinted. He could see the towering waves splashing onto the deck, the water hitting him like ice shards.
The waves surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind blew him around, giving Gu Yuanyuan the feeling that the rope would snap in the wind at any moment.
Then he fell into the pitch-black sea, where the waves surged and seemed to devour people without spitting out their bones. He died in there, and his remains were never recovered.
At this moment, Gu Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little regretful. Since graduation, he had always revolved around Su Hengyi and hadn't really lived his life properly.
His emotional turmoil over the past two years has caused him immense pain.
When I was studying, I thought that once I stopped reading this stupid book, I would enjoy life. But in the end, I ended up living a life that was neither human nor ghost.
It's ridiculous.
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly laughed, and even laughed out loud, her voice so hoarse.
His laughter was inexplicable, and even Mu Guangcheng asked him, "What are you laughing at?"
"You win."
Gu Yuanyuan, fearing that Mu Guangcheng couldn't hear her, repeated, "You still win."
Mu Yang looked through his binoculars and saw that the police boat had been left far enough behind. He looked at Su Hengyi and said, "Young Master Su, the game can begin."
Su Hengyi turned around and walked downstairs.
Mu Yang stood on top, watching the show.
As Su Heng walked down, as if he wanted to go forward to see Mu Guangcheng, a bullet suddenly pierced the air and hit his feet with a bang.
The enormous impact shattered a section of the deck, demonstrating that the bullet was no joke.
Mu Yang stood on top, looking down at Su Hengyi standing in the wind and rain as if he were an ant. "Young Master Su, abide by the rules of the game, don't try anything funny."
Su Hengyi held the gun, standing there as if hesitating.
After a long while, Su Heng raised his gun and aimed it at Gu Yuanyuan.
One shot, two shots...
They are all empty.
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly raised his head, his face pale as he looked at Su Hengyi, his eyes filled with sorrow staring straight at Su Hengyi through the wind and rain.
He watched helplessly as Su Hengyi pressed the button for the third shot.
Empty.
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly turned his head, as if he found it too ridiculous, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he laughed.
What kind of favoritism made Su Hengyi so afraid to let Mu Guangcheng suffer even the slightest risk or harm? He protected Mu Guangcheng with such care, just as affectionately as he had been in his youth.
She must really love, really love that man named Mu Guangcheng.
The fourth shot.
Empty.
Mu Guangcheng couldn't stand it anymore. He yelled at Su Hengyi, "Are you even a man? Su Hengyi, you can't do this! If you each take a gun, at least I won't feel guilty if someone dies. But if Gu Yuanyuan really dies, how am I supposed to face our relationship after this?!"
Su Hengyi's eyes were so cold, he remained unmoved and continued firing.
Mu Guangcheng closed his eyes, he was furious, "If you shoot me, I'd rather die than feel this guilt. I, Mu Guangcheng, have no bottom line. Su Hengyi, you can't make this choice."
Gu Yuanyuan seemed so indifferent. He didn't even ask why or whether he had ever loved her, because he already knew the answer.
Su Hengyi's eyes were red and filled with hostility, and he increased the speed at which he fired his gun.
Finally, the ninth shot rang out. The bullet pierced the air and hit the rope suspending Gu Yuanyuan. The rope snapped, and Gu Yuanyuan fell downwards.
He closed his eyes. Was it finally over?
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi in disbelief, his eyes reddening. Although he hated Gu Yuanyuan, he never thought of letting Gu Yuanyuan die.
We'll continue in this manner.
"You're insane!"
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi with red eyes, finding it hard to accept that Su Hengyi had done such a thing.
Mu Yang snapped his fingers, and the bodyguard gently put Mu Guangcheng down. Su Hengyi quickly walked over and untied Mu Guangcheng. He was about to hug Mu Guangcheng and say that everything was alright.
Mu Guangcheng pushed him away.
Su Hengyi hugged Mu Guangcheng, saying, "He's not dead, don't be afraid. There are police speedboats following him down there, he won't die."
Mu Guangcheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Really?"
Su Hengyi supported Mu Guangcheng, who was very wary of their backs because Mu Yang wouldn't let them off so easily. "Well, when the gun goes off in a bit, I'll take you away."
Mu Yang snapped his fingers and told his bodyguards, "Kill them."
He went back on his word; criminals are indeed untrustworthy.
Just as the bodyguard was about to aim at the two people on the deck, he was suddenly shot in the head, and blood splattered all over Mu Yang.
Mu Yang's expression changed, and after cursing, he ordered his bodyguards, "Leave a few men to kill them, the rest of you come with me."
Gunshots rang out.
The police dragged Gu Yuanyuan, who was trembling as he was pulled from the sea, and said, "Young Master Gu, please get on the speedboat with me and leave."
Gu Yuanyuan hadn't recovered from the brush with death. He listened to the orders blankly, and just as he was about to board the speedboat to leave, he suddenly heard deafening gunshots, one after another.
Gu Yuanyuan's heart tightened. He didn't know where he got the strength, but he pushed the policeman aside and ran inside without hesitation.
Because Su Hengyi is still inside.
He chose to kill him, but actually he was saving him, because it was safest down there, right? Up there was so dangerous, with bullets flying everywhere.
Gu Yuanyuan's mind was filled with the thought that Su Hengyi must not be harmed.
He ran back, with the police following behind him, calling out, "Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu!"
Gu Yuanyuan ran desperately, not knowing where he got the strength, and finally saw Su Hengyi and Mu Guangcheng helping each other down from the first floor to the second floor.
He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Heng gestured, "Let's go."
The three of them, along with the two policemen who had come after them, made their escape. As they were about to leave the warehouse on the first floor, they suddenly bumped into Mu Yang and his group.
The battle broke out quickly; gunfire pierced through the metal cans containing gasoline.
Gu Yuanyuan hid behind a gasoline tank when suddenly there was a loud bang and flames erupted. Through the thick smoke, Gu Yuanyuan saw Mu Guangcheng lying on the ground, injured by the explosion.
Without thinking, he rushed over, helped Mu Guangcheng up, and helped him walk away.
Suddenly seeing Mu Yang's hand reaching out from behind the oil tank, aimed at Mu Guangcheng's heart, Gu Yuanyuan's mind went blank for a moment.
He clearly wanted Mu Guangcheng dead, but when Mu Yang fired, he threw himself in front of Mu Guangcheng to shield him from the fatal bullet.
