Huang Heâs eyes flashed but he did not move.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at him directly in the eye. âYour mobile phone. That mobile phone!â
She had bought that on the day when a mass brawling incident broke out in Grand Orchid Pavilion.
Huang He remained silent for a moment. âOkay.â
His indifferent response made Fang Yuanyuanâs tears flowed relentlessly as she spoke.
âSince you wanted a break up, you should make it a clean one! This lifetime, next lifetime, I donât want to be involved with you. I donât want the item that I bought for you to still stay inside your pocket. The thought of you using it to call and message Tian Danyue⌠it makes me disgusted!â
Huang He did not talk but took out his mobile phone.
But Fang Yuanyuanâs hands were tied up at her back.
How was he going to pass it to her?
The eye-patch guyâs eyes were frosty when he looked over.
Fang Yuanyuan was very adamant about it. âBring it over and place it in my pocket. I want to take back my stuff even if I die!â
Many a time, in menâs eyes, women were also a species that was difficult to understand.
Looking at Huang Heâs hesitation, the eye-patch guy looked at him. âJust return it to her. Itâs just a mobile phone. Donât tell me you canât bear to part with it as you wanted to keep it as a momento?â
Huang He did not say anything more. âSure, Iâll return the phone.â
He put down the hand that he was holding the gun, and walked toward Fang Yuanyuan with the other hand holding the mobile phone.
âI donât wish to kill you.â
Even with the eye-patch guy watching, Huang He said those words with earnesty, without a trace of tension on his face.
âBut people are selfish. If I donât kill you, they wonât believe me and will kill me. Either you die or we die together⌠I believe anyone would do the same as wellâŚâ
âHahahaha!â Fang Yuanyuan laughed, tears flowing down her cheeks. âSo, you really have no sense of guilt in your heart? So this is the best choice after you weighed the options?â
Huang He remained silent.
In no time, he was now before her.
âI feel guilty toward you, a lot. But Iâlove myself more.â
Loved myself more . Fang Yuanyuan repeated this inside her heart.
Everyone loved themselves more.
âI understand.â Fang Yuanyuan stared at him with pain in her eyes. âBut I wonât forgive you, never. Even if Iâm a ghost, I wonât forgive you!â
âI donât need your forgiveness!â
â⌠Iâm about to die yet youâre still hurting me!â
Fang Yuanyuan closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Her tearful face was swollen like steamed buns, and she looked a little comical and funny yet pitiful at the same time.
âPut the phone in my pocket. You⌠may go ahead now!â
She looked death calmly in the face. Huang He seemed to be reluctant, but it only lasted for a few moments as he placed her mobile phone in her pocketâŚ
He seemed to be ruthless.
He seemed to have made up his mind.
His movements were smooth. At that instant when he stuffed the mobile phone into her pocket, he suddenly took the waist of Fang Yuanyuan and turned her to be behind him where he could protect her. Before anyone could react, he had pointed his gun at the forehead of the eye-patch guy.
âLet them put down their weapons now!â
Huang Heâs cold voice sounded as though the King of Hades who was coming to get their lives.
It was as if the next second, he might fire and make a hole in the head of the eye-patch guy.
All these happened in just a twinkling of an eye.
The eye-patch guy was only flurried for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.
He had encountered many types of situations being the second-in-command of the Dark Clan.
The men he had brought along with him had their guns pointed at Huang He and Fang Yuanyuanâ
He had no reason to be afraid.
âYou sure have guts, huhââ The eye-patch guy smiled disparagingly as he raised a hand and wanted to move the gun that was pointing at his forehead.
âDonât move!â Huang He shouted and took a step back. âMove one more step and weâll die together!â
âDie together?â The eye-patch guy repeated and looked at the man and woman before him.
As Fang Yuanyuanâs hands were still tied up, she was totally defenseless.
He had a desperate, fearless look. His bloodshot eyes were full of killing intent.
He was like a brave warrior who was ready to die at any moment.
The eye-patch guy started to get nervous. âLetâs have a betââ
Huang He did not want him to talk and pulled on the trigger slowly. âDonât bet on who can shoot faster!â
That action of his finally unnerved the eye-patch guy.
Life and death is often separated by a thin line.
âLetâs talk things over nicelyâŚâ The eye-patch guy raised both hands slowly!
âDonât move!â Huang He yelled sternly at him.
He had many years of experience as a detective who had faced numerous dangerous situations. His quick decision making and judgement should not be underestimated.
During the 10 seconds while the eye-patch guy tried to talk things over with him, Huang He had taken the best position where he could protect Fang Yuanyuan behind him and face this group of people entirely by himself.
As he was not afraid of death, he would be able to make this group of people terrified by him.
âSecond Brother, I didnât want to do this, either. Youâve forced me so!â
âHah!â The eye-patch guy stroked his chin and laughed savagely. âSo what if I forced you? Do you think you can escape?â
âI didnât think that I can escape!â Huang He raised his gun slightly. âBut at least I canâtake your life!â
Huang He fired at an amazing speed.
Facing a situation where numerous guns were pointed at him, he actually had the guts to fire a shot. That had totally caught the eye-patch guy and his men in surprise.
Due to this unexpected shot, he got the advantage of timeâ
The eye-patch guy fell onto the ground after getting shot by Huang He. That totally took the group of men in astonishment.
That one second to two seconds of shockâŚ
When they recovered from their shock and were ready to shoot, Huang He had already responded by hugging Fang Yuanyuan and jumping down a steep slope where they rolled downhill like a rolling ball!
âThis fellow didnât want his life anymore!â
âGeez, someoneâs shooting from behind!â
The gunfire seemed to be fired from the forest.
Like the firecrackers used during festivals, the gunshots almost shook the whole mountain.
In no time, both Huang He and Fang Yuanyuan⌠could no longer be seen.
âHurry up and chase after that coward!â
âThe police are here! Donât botherââ
âLetâs look at Second Brother first!â
âHeâs dead as a doornail!â
The group of triad members were flustered, and one of them suddenly shouted, âWhy are the police here?â
Now that they had lost their leader, they were at a loss of what to do.
At this moment, Liang pointed at Brother Steel calmly. âHeâs the one who brought the police here. Heâs a traitor⌠if not for him, the police would not have found the base and would not have found the Dark Clan in the first placeâŚâ
âWhat!? You ARE the bleeping traitor!â
By now, Brother Steel had a lot of unhappiness accumulated with Liang, so he fired at him before he finished saying his words.
The two of them shot at each other at the same time.
And got shot at the same time!
Brother Steel got shot at the shoulders, but Liang got shot in the chest.
âYouâŚâ He pointed the gun at Brother Steel.
âWhy did you betray me? Why? I treated you so well!â
Brother Steel ran over to Liang and shook him.
âIâŚâ Liang opened his mouth, his eyes were wide-opened and his mouth could not be closed. The sentence which he was about to say did not make it out of his mouth. With a thud, his body fell onto the groundâŚ
The police were there, yet Brother Steel and Liang fired at each other!
Often, when the crooks were not of one heart, it would always end badly for them.
When Quan Shaoteng brought a group of men after them, that was what he saw.
âAll of you are being surrounded! Put down your guns, hands on your head, and squat downââ
Some wanted to put up a resistance, while some wanted to escape.
Without a leader to lead them, all of them had hesitating looks on their facesâ
Bai Muchuan had rushed over from the forest and ducked a bullet as he quickly hid behind a large rock.
That command stunned Quan Shaoteng.
He moved toward Bai Muchuan while firing back at the triad members. âWhat did you say again?â
âI said wipe them out!â Bai Muchuan said coldly, âKill all except Liangââ
Liang was key in this caseâŚ
Since back in Xi City, he was the one who liaised with the police and Dark Clan⌠From the looks of it, the one who took orders from the mysterious third party was him!
When Quan Shaoteng raised his gun, he saw the person who was lying in a pool of blood.
â⌠Seems to have died.â
âWhat?â Bai Muchuanâs eyes were blazing in flames. When he swept a glance at the corpse on the ground, his face turned livid. âD*mn!â
âHeâs been killed!â
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows and couldnât help but cuss again. âLaowu, I leave things here with you. Iâll go save them now!â
Bai Muchuan refilled the bullets when he hid behind the rock and moved over to the steep slope where both Huang He and Fang Yuanyuan had fallen. His scalp felt numb when he saw the dense amount of trees and bushesâŚ
âThis guy is really daring!â
â⌠I really donât get it,â remarked Quan Shaoteng, âhe could actually give up his life because of a woman! He must either be an idiot or heâs simply stupid.â
â⌠Idiot and stupid have the same meaning.â
Bai Muchuan rebutted him. After surveying the landscape, he said to Salimu, âGet a few men to follow me down the slope. The rest, you shall listen to Captain Quanâs orders!â
Huang He had always been a calm and steady person. He was certainly not an impulsive guy.
He had planned it out before he jumped from the steep slope.
If he didnât jump, he would certainly be shotâŚ
Which had a higher survival rate? Getting shot or rolling down a steep slope?
In fact, Bai Muchuan had come from behind so he did not witness Huang He rolling down the slope. But the two of them had known each other for so long, there was a basic tacit understanding between them.
Moreover, from the sounds of the gunshots, he was able to make some conclusions about the distance.
Bai Muchuan was also able to make a deduction on the estimated time that he would be able to reach the place where the gunshots were fired.
Of course, that unexpected shot by Huang He at a crucial moment was a huge gamble.
If he lost the betâhe would lose his life, as well as Fang Yuanyuanâs life.
However, at that moment, he made that decision.
When his hand came in contact with Fang Yuanyuanâs quivering body and noticed that the eye-patch guy was overly-confident, he had decided to take a gamble.
Only by doing that would he get a chance to survive.
Otherwise, even if Bai Muchuan and his men managed to reach there in time, they would still be in a precarious situationâŚ
That thought really pissed him off!
Now both him and Yuanyuan, at least⌠were still alive.
Huang He took a look at the woman he was holding in his arms. âYuanyuan,â he asked nervously, âare you hurt anywhere?â
Fang Yuanyuan was on top of him and she started to sob again.
She wanted to say something, but after sniffling for a few times, she was still unable to utter a word.
âAre you in pain? Are you hurt anywhere?â Huang He looked at her and struggled to get up to check if she sustained any injuries when he suddenly fell back down and was gasping for breath. âI⌠canât move. If I move again, Iâm afraid that we might tumble down further and lose our lives. Tell me! where are you hurt?â
