Chapter 2: Shot as soon as I arrived
Xu Yueyao listened carefully and there seemed to be a man's breathing. Xu Yueyao looked around and there was no one on the road. Was someone having sex here? It can’t be the male and female protagonists, they are always there..., cough! Probably not. Considering the time, they should still be in the ambiguous period.
Xu Yueyao's naive and curious character reappeared. She bravely walked to the alley next to her. Suddenly, a man appeared, covered her mouth with one hand, locked her upper body with one arm, and locked her legs with his legs, making her unable to move at all. Then she heard the sound of running on the road.
"He's nearby. I shot him and he can't run far," one of them said viciously. This was followed by the sound of footsteps coming and going.
Xu Yueyao was so frightened that she dared not breathe. When the footsteps gradually faded away, Xu Yueyao was covered and could not breathe, so she began to struggle.
"I can let you go, but you can't make any sound, or I'll kill you," a magnetic and hoarse voice sounded in my ears.
Xu Yueyao nodded, and he released the hand that was covering her mouth. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he slowly released her upper body and moved his legs away.
Only then did Xu Yueyao smell the blood and said, "You are injured."
"Heh, I can still kill you even if I'm hurt," he pinched her neck again.
Damn it, Xu Yueyao cursed inwardly, "I can help you," Xu Yueyao's face turned red, and she tried to pull his hands away with both hands.
Suddenly she touched the ring on his little finger, Xu Yueyao couldn't help but touch it, and he let go of his hand at this time. Xu Yueyao touched her neck with both hands, staring at his little finger. Could he be the villain Zhan Rongxuan? In the book, Zhan Rongxuan wore this ring that symbolized that he was the heir of his family.
Zhan Rongxuan is the only son of the Zhan family, a wealthy family that rivals a country. Not only are several major families from the outside world eyeing him, even his uncles from the Zhan family want him dead, so the fact that he is alive to the end can be regarded as crawling out of hell.
Xu Yueyao looked at him with a complicated expression. She couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, only his rough outline. His facial features were clean and neat without any excess flesh, making him look very delicate and stylish. When Xu Yueyao thought about the various things that happened between her and him in the book, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Wait, Xu Yueyao sobered up a little. The book mentioned that he was being hunted and seemed to have been shot, once in the shoulder and once in the abdomen. Xu Yueyao glanced at his shoulder and saw that he had been shot. She looked at him again with sympathy and saw another bullet in the abdomen. But he would not die. It seemed that the one who was hunting him this time was his second uncle. He had found out that his second uncle had been secretly manufacturing and selling arms. This was not allowed in the Zhan family, so his second uncle wanted to kill him to silence him.
No, she had to find a way to get away. "I'll go and call for help," Xu Yueyao was about to get up when she heard the two men running towards her.
Zhan Rongxuan covered her mouth again and locked her tightly, "If you want to run, it's too late."
"Search more carefully. The Third Master said that he must die today," the killer's voice came from the darkness.
"Third Master? That's not right. Shouldn't it be Second Master?" Xu Yueyao was lost in thought when she suddenly felt her hair stand on end. She sensed someone walking towards them.
Suddenly, Zhan Rongxuan rolled over while holding her, dodging two bullets. Then he rolled over several more times, and after dodging a few more bullets, Zhan Rongxuan took out the knife on his leg and threw it at them. A killer fell to the ground, and they took the opportunity to run inside and hide in an abandoned house.
Xu Yueyao looked at his entire shoulder which was stained with blood. He wouldn't die from excessive blood loss without waiting for rescue, right? No, if he died, what should she do? She had to stop his bleeding first. She looked at her whole body. She was still wearing the clothes from the nightclub, belly-baring clothes, miniskirt, and the jacket. The fabric was too hard. Xu Yueyao tried to tear it twice but couldn't do it. After thinking for a while, she unhooked her bra, and regardless of his shock, she wrapped it around his shoulders to help him stop the bleeding.
"Master Zhan, I'm sorry, I'm also taking money to help others get rid of disasters," a killer said outside the wall, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Xu Yueyao looked at him nervously. Zhan Rongxuan put his right finger on his mouth and made a hushing gesture. His left hand was holding a piece of iron sheet on the ground. Xu Yueyao felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her, and then heard the sound of the killer falling to the ground. Xu Yueyao stood up tremblingly, walked around the corner and saw Zhan Rongxuan leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, with the inconspicuous piece of iron sheet stuck in the killer's Adam's apple.
Xu Yueyao stared at him and asked, "Is he dead?"
"You are questioning me," Zhan Rongxuan said in a cold tone.
Xu Yueyao didn't dare to speak, still feeling a little uneasy. There was another shot. Could there be another killer? Or was it because of her that the direction of the script was changed by accident?
Zhan Rongxuan supported his shoulders and walked out slowly. Xu Yueyao felt uneasy and couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him, "Why don't we wait here for rescue? Your people should be here soon."
Zhan Rongxuan turned around and looked at her, looking at her as if she were a dead person, and said coldly, "My people, who are you? Do you know me?"
Xu Yueyao felt a chill and sensed danger. Suddenly, she saw the killer who fell to the ground on the roadside raised his arm. Xu Yueyao didn't have time to speak. Her hands were faster than her brain and mouth. She pushed Zhan Rongxuan aside. Then she felt a numbness in her shoulder, followed by pain. It hurt so much.
As the killer fell, Xu Yueyao slowly fell down. At the last moment before falling, Zhan Rongxuan caught her. Xu Yueyao looked at him and thought, what a bad fate. "My name is Xu Yueyao. I saved you, and you have to protect me in the future." Before she almost passed out from the pain, she wanted to seek benefits for herself. "Remember, my name is Xu Yueyao." She emphasized her name again. It was dark and she didn't want anyone to claim her credit. She would be so wronged that she would vomit blood.
One second before Xu Yueyao completely fainted, she heard someone running over and shouting, "Master Zhan!" Xu Yueyao greeted the author again, Damn it, why don’t you let them come earlier.
In the Imperial Capital Hospital, Zhan Rongxuan looked at the woman who was holding his ring tightly, his brows furrowed. When she was sent to the hospital for surgery, she still held his little finger tightly and couldn't bend it. Finally, he had no choice but to take off the ring and then let her hand go. Now she has fainted, but she is still holding his ring tightly.
"Young Master Zhan," Zhan Feng walked in quickly with a file bag in his hand, "I've found out that she is a student at the nearby Imperial Capital University. She lives in a nearby basement. Her parents died early, and she is staying at her uncle's house. Because of her excellent grades and being a person who is cared for by the society, she was admitted to the Imperial Capital University as an exception."
Zhan Rongxuan was looking through her information and photos from childhood to adulthood, and Zhan Feng continued, "She has a simple background and has no connection with aristocratic families. Her life experience is very clean. She may have appeared there because she wanted to go home, and that road is the only way for her to go home." Zhan Feng cleared his throat and continued, "Her clothes are work clothes for selling drinks in the nightclub. Today is her second day working there. I don't know why she sneaked out, but I have asked clearly. In the nightclub, except for her classmate Fu Xiaosi, the young master of the Fu family, she didn't come into contact with anyone else."
"Fu Xiaosi from the Fu family?" Zhan Rongxuan had no impression of this person.
"He is Fu Zheng's half-brother," Zhan Feng added.
"Fu Zheng's younger brother," Zhan Rongxuan said disdainfully, and then asked, "Anyone else?"
Zhan Feng thought for a moment and said, "She has never had a boyfriend. She is clean both physically and mentally."
Zhan Rongxuan looked up at him in confusion and asked, frowning slightly as if asking, is this important information?
Zhan Feng coughed uncomfortably and said, "No more, Master Zhan. Her background is just too ordinary and too clean." He thought to himself that they had to call in their most important Dark Chamber to investigate. This might be the most wasteful and least competent investigation since the Dark Chamber was established.
