Chapter 193: Yang Fan Saves Lives
"Bang Bang!"
Suddenly, gunfire erupted ahead, and in no time, a man holding a pistol rushed forward; it turned out to be Zhao Bing.
Dao saw that the situation wasn’t good and hurried over, coincidentally meeting Chen Tianlong at the corner. Just as he was about to shoot, Chen Tianlong grabbed his wrist.
The two struggled for a while before the handgun fell to the ground.
Hao Jian, watching the two almost tangled together in a fight, found it difficult to fire and could only stand by, wary of the opposition. Zhao Bing discovered three armed men ahead, who were tough to deal with, so he hid behind a large pillar.
Dao mustered all his strength and suddenly unleashed a powerful punch, sending Chen Tianlong flying. The other three saw an opportunity and prepared to shoot.
Just then, a catering cart burst out from a dark corner near the staircase, with a few chairs on it. The person pushing the cart was none other than Chen Tianlong’s roommate, Yang Fan.
"Chen Tianlong, I’m here to save you."
Yang Fan pulled the fallen Chen Tianlong off the ground, and the two hid behind the catering cart.
The three opponents fired fiercely for a while, then began to slowly advance; this time, they were determined to kill Chen Tianlong. If not for his interference, their mission would have surely succeeded, so Dao ordered to eliminate Chen Tianlong.
The trio, firing one shot after another, slowly approached, leaving Chen Tianlong extremely frustrated. The chance to escape with Yang Fan was no longer possible.
Zhao Bing, seeing the emergency, fired two shots at the three, instantly relieving the situation significantly. Chen Tianlong took the opportunity to climb up and slowly move toward Zhao Bing, utilizing the catering cart for cover.
But after a few steps, the enemy’s firepower was too intense, and Dao also picked up a handgun and began shooting. Zhao Bing alone couldn’t hold them off.
"Bang Bang!"
Suddenly, two shots rang out behind Zhao Bing, and as he quickly looked back, he saw it was Zhang Yufei. Zhang Yufei hadn’t run out of the hall but had entered her room from another staircase to get her handgun.
The situation was now two against four, still very dire.
"Director Zhao, cover me, I need to rescue Chen Tianlong."
Before Zhao Bing could agree, Zhang Yufei dashed forward, leaving him speechless, so he had to peek out from behind the pillar and start shooting at the opponents.
At this moment, the catering cart was parked right in the middle of both parties, and the three chairs on the cart had been shot up considerably; if not for Yang Fan tying them with a rope beforehand, they would have undoubtedly collapsed.
The four opponents had formidable firepower and knew time was of the essence, so they hurried to launch a pincer attack and eliminate Chen Tianlong.
Particularly Dao, who slipped to a pillar closest to him and began to shoot at Chen Tianlong at an angle, since the table in front blocked a direct shot.
"Clunk!"
The bullet whizzed past Chen Tianlong and Yang Fan, nearly scaring Yang Fan witless.
Zhang Yufei saw someone shooting at Chen Tianlong, and in a moment of panic, she couldn’t care about much else and rushed forward, shooting non-stop at the pillar.
Just then, one of the three opponents managed to free up a gun and aimed it at Zhang Yufei. Chen Tianlong, quick-witted, realized the danger and promptly leaped toward Zhang Yufei.
"Bang Bang!"
The opponent fired twice, and with a whiz, the sound of a bullet lodging in muscle brought a sharp pain to Chen Tianlong, as he was shot in the shoulder.
Because of this, he managed to pull Zhang Yufei back from the brink of death.
To know, the shot just now was fired by Dao, and at this point, with the situation fallen apart, he didn’t care about Hao Shuai’s plan and decided to eliminate Zhang Yufei as well.
Zhao Bing took a deep breath, saw the two fall to the ground, and also started to rush out but found the trigger clicked several times without firing; he was out of bullets. Zhao Bing was immediately alarmed, realizing a bad situation.
Now, Hao Jian also noticed and thought the chance had come, and the four quickly moved in from two directions, intending to seize the opportunity to eliminate them.
Chen Tianlong also saw the urgency, took a deep breath, grabbed the gun from Zhang Yufei’s hand, and suddenly fired two shots at Hao Jian’s group.
Both shots hit accurately, instantly felling two of Dao’s men, leaving Hao Jian visibly shocked and lingering with fear.
Chen Tianlong intended to shoot at Dao from another direction but was met with silent clicks from the trigger, revealing the gun was out of bullets.
Already furious, Hao Jian was delighted to see Chen Tianlong out of ammo, and filled with anger, he exchanged a glance with Dao. The two began rushing toward Chen Tianlong from two directions, guns raised, ready to shoot.
Everything around seemed to freeze; Chen Tianlong and Zhang Yufei on the ground could only express shock. It seemed the two could hear each other’s heartbeat. Zhang Yufei never thought that her attempt to save Chen Tianlong ended up harming him.
"Chen Tianlong, are we going to die?" Faced with such a situation on the brink of death, Zhang Yufei revealed her true feelings.
"Perhaps."
Chen Tianlong resigned himself; if it was time for him to die, struggling was futile.
"Chen Tianlong, I....." Zhang Yufei, before her life ended, wished to fulfill this desire but hesitated to speak.
"What?"
Chen Tianlong was puzzled, not knowing what Zhang Yufei wanted to say.
"Screw it, if we die, we die."
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan, who had been hiding behind the catering cart, like a predatory tiger, leaped out like an arrow, landing right on Dao and biting down on the hand holding the gun.
"Oww...."
A heart-wrenching scream forced Dao to drop his gun to the ground, yet he was still a master.
In the struggle, Dao punched Yang Fan in the back, making him cry from the pain, but Dao noticed that Yang Fan refused to let go, holding on tight.
Once more, Dao struck Yang Fan’s waist, and the sound of bones cracking almost made Yang Fan roll his eyes.
"Chen Tianlong... run!"
Yang Fan used up all his remaining strength to shout his last words and held onto Dao as if his life depended on it, no matter how hard Dao hit him.
Faced with Dao, even after the last encounter, Yang Fan’s Primordial Qi had not recovered, and even if he fought now, he couldn’t defeat Dao.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire shocked both the prone Chen Tianlong and Zhao Bing rushing forward. They turned their gaze to Yang Fan, only to see Dao’s handgun still smoking, with a gory mess on Yang Fan’s back.
Dao had actually shot Yang Fan.
"Yang Fan!"
Chen Tianlong’s tears fell like rain; tonight, he merely wanted to have fun with his two roommates, never expecting it to cost them so dearly.
Facing death, Chen Tianlong accepted it calmly, but at this moment, he realized his mistake; the trouble he caused might not only claim his life but also affect those around him.
