Chapter 289 - 287: Blinded in Both Eyes
Even though Chen Tianlong reacted quickly, his arm had already been slashed three times. He widened his eyes; he had never seen such fast knife skills. Just a brief contact resulted in three cuts.
Fortunately, Chen Tianlong’s dodging speed was not slow either, or else he might have lost his life with just this one move. The strikes were deadly, forcing Chen Tianlong to be extremely cautious.
Since the opponent was using a weapon, continuing to use his fists was not a good strategy for Chen Tianlong. Zhang Hujun primarily attacked from a distance; no matter how hard your fists are, they can’t reach him, so what good are they?
Therefore, he planned to change his strategy. Wasn’t Zhang Hujun’s knife fast? Then it was time to see whose weapon was faster.
After a turn, Chen Tianlong’s left hand went into his pocket and brought out two nuts. This time, he was planning to take a big risk. There was no other choice, because with Zhang Hujun’s Ultimate Skill, it was unlikely Chen Tianlong could take him out in a short time.
The two locked eyes for a few seconds, both gathering strength while waiting to strike.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong was the first to move. He performed a diving action, lowering his body slightly, and then dashed out swiftly, his entire being like a fired cannonball, extremely rapid.
Zhang Hujun smirked coldly; this time, he wanted Chen Tianlong’s life. He started to twirl the military knife in his hand, waiting for the moment to strike with a fatal blow.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong was extremely vigilant, preparing in advance. Seeing Zhang Hujun’s cold smile, he realized Zhang Hujun had fallen into his trap.
"Die! You brat."
Zhang Hujun’s fast knife was already slicing towards Chen Tianlong’s neck, intending to kill him with a direct throat cut, moving as fast as lightning, quickly closing in on Chen Tianlong’s neck.
However, just when the military knife was only five centimeters away from Chen Tianlong’s neck, a big hand suddenly appeared.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong’s right hand tightly gripped the sharp military knife, blood quickly seeped out, staining the entire knife red.
Zhang Hujun was suddenly shocked. He never expected Chen Tianlong to have such speed, to catch his fast knife, and astonishingly, not be afraid of the pain.
As Zhang Hujun hesitated for a moment, two rusted nuts were flicked from Chen Tianlong’s left hand, shooting out like bullets, hitting Zhang Hujun’s two eyes with a swoosh.
That’s right!
Chen Tianlong’s plan was to blind Zhang Hujun. This way, no matter how skilled the knife work, in a state of complete blindness, he would have no advantage.
Sure enough, Zhang Hujun’s eyes hurt, and he could hardly see anything. His military knife swung wildly beside him, realizing the situation was bad, he urgently wanted to shout.
But at this moment, Chen Tianlong didn’t give him a chance. Just as Zhang Hujun opened his mouth, a nut accurately fell into his mouth, and he gulped involuntarily.
At the same time, Chen Tianlong lunged forward, and while Zhang Hujun was panicked, trying to retch the small knife that was clutching his throat, Chen Tianlong struck his neck with a karate chop, causing Zhang Hujun to faint directly to the ground.
"Whew..."
After completing this series of actions, Chen Tianlong picked up the military knife from the ground, then quickly cut a piece of fabric from his clothes and timely wrapped it around his wrist to prevent excessive bleeding.
Immediately, Chen Tianlong began to approach Huang Ziyan, who was tied up with hands and feet bound and her mouth sealed. At this moment, Huang Ziyan was obviously very scared.
Chen Tianlong quickly cut the ropes and untied the seal on Huang Ziyan’s mouth. Unexpectedly, she threw herself into his arms and started crying, clearly terrified.
It’s no wonder; as a young lady of noble heritage and a big star, she had always been pampered in various ways.
Since last night, when she woke up in the kidnappers’ car and found a group of men in black grabbing her and driving fast, she immediately understood that she had been kidnapped.
She was very frightened then, unsure of the intentions of these people. A little money wasn’t a problem, but what she feared most was being assaulted and then killed.
So, at the age of eighteen, Huang Ziyan fainted from the fear. Now she finally saw someone coming to save her, and it was the same person who sang with her on campus the other day.
Chen Tianlong held Huang Ziyan tightly, an intoxicating natural fragrance wafting from her neck, making him somewhat lost in thought.
A big star is certainly different; even the embrace feels different.
However, thinking of this, Chen Tianlong gently pushed Huang Ziyan away, saying, "Miss Ziyan, we should leave here first; we might not get another chance if we get discovered."
"Mm."
Huang Ziyan, hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, also came to her senses, then lifted her head, wiped away her tears, and with a restored expression, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"
"Haha, we don’t even know if we can escape yet; it’s too early to thank me."
Chen Tianlong didn’t rush to take credit but quickly led Huang Ziyan out. When they reached the material room, Chen Tianlong closed the door, and the two didn’t immediately escape from the back.
After all, taking a delicate girl down from the second floor certainly posed a bit of difficulty.
Therefore, the most dangerous place was the safest. While they hadn’t been discovered, Chen Tianlong decided not to leave but to hide in this room.
Chen Tianlong looked around the room again. There wasn’t much stuff here, mostly some useless discarded items, and behind the discards was a black sheet of paper.
He thought for a moment, took Huang Ziyan over, squatted behind the discards, picked up the paper, and placed it in front of them.
"Chen Tianlong, are we not going to run?" Huang Ziyan was a little puzzled; since she had been rescued, why wasn’t Chen Tianlong immediately taking her away?
"Hmm, we can’t run. The police will arrive soon; if we run, there will be no evidence for the police when they come, and they definitely won’t be able to catch the culprits."
Chen Tianlong explained, "Moreover, we’re on the second floor. Getting you down from the balcony will take a lot of effort. I can’t guarantee we won’t be discovered in the process. After all, the place is heavily guarded, with frequent patrols downstairs. If we are discovered before the police arrive, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Ah? I see; okay then, how long do we have to wait?"
Huang Ziyan pursed her lips, reluctantly agreeing. In fact, she wasn’t very scared right now; having Chen Tianlong around made her feel more at ease for some reason.
On one hand, Huang Ziyan thought Chen Tianlong was quite skilled, so even if discovered, it might not be a dead end.
On the other hand, Huang Ziyan felt she had developed feelings for Chen Tianlong. Initially, she hugged him out of fear, but later, she held on, a bit reluctant to let go.
So warm, she wanted to stay in the embrace forever.
Huang Ziyan was indeed born under a lucky star, but she wasn’t happy at all. At home, her father was always busy with the company’s matters, thinking only about her brother, never considering her. Even becoming a celebrity and fulfilling her dream of singing required relentless effort on her part.
