Da Bao’s speed was imperceptible to ordinary people. In a single exchange, the gunman was killed by Da Bao!
However, neither of them expected the remaining two men to react so quickly. They immediately pressed their sharp knives against the necks of the two hostages.
“Don’t do anything rash! Otherwise, I’ll kill him!”
The two hostages were precisely the people Yu Yan had been looking for earlier, and their clothes were identical to those in the picture. Da Bao instinctively paused when he saw them.
It turns out he really was connected to this guy!
For a moment, he didn't know whether to call the man unlucky or Li Chonglou lucky to find a connection in the vast crowd.
Li Chonglou also rushed in. Seeing the two men with fierce expressions, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Didn’t you tell me you knew nothing?”
Li Chonglou spoke to the man who had been promoting to them earlier.
“Enough with the nonsense! If you don’t want people to die, get out of the way quickly.”
Besides rescuing these few people, the man couldn’t think of any other reason for them to come here.
It was a pity that this was just wishful thinking. Li Chonglou chuckled.
“If you want to fight, do it quickly. But if you dare to kill someone in front of us, not tormenting you for days and nights afterwards would break my rules.”
What?
The expressions of the two men froze simultaneously. Did these words sound familiar, or not?
Da Bao reacted quickly and chimed in, “Don’t you understand yet? My boss is looking for you. As for the people in your hands, what does it matter to us whether they live or die?”
“You’re not here to save them?”
“Who told you I was here to save anyone? Old Bao, stop wasting words with them, take them down first! Daring to kill someone in front of us, it seems we’ll have two more ‘human sticks’ in the room.”
Human sticks!
The two men instinctively exchanged glances, their eyes clearly showing terror.
What kind of pervert would do such a thing? A human stick, that meant removing all four limbs, leaving only a head and a torso. Some even more perverted individuals would stuff them into a narrow barrel, carving various patterns on it to serve as artwork!
This was something a normal person couldn’t do!
The man considered himself a heinous criminal who had done wicked deeds, but compared to this, his actions were practically harmonious.
Da Bao ignored their reactions. From their initial expressions, he could tell that the two were genuinely intimidated. As long as he got within a meter, he was confident he could rescue them before they could react.
Not saving people at all? What a joke! If it weren’t for this matter, he should still be at the private casino right now!
Still half a meter away.
Da Bao approached slowly with a cold expression. The man’s face was filled with internal struggle, and he could only keep saying, “Don’t come any closer. If you do, I’ll really kill them.”
“Then kill them, no one is stopping you.”
Da Bao remained unmoved, with only the last forty centimeters left.
Li Chonglou behind him also stared intently at the men’s movements. Although he said he didn’t care, his heart was already extremely tense.
Having lost his internal energy cultivation, he could only rely on Da Bao now. Otherwise, in the past, he could have dealt with them in the next second!
To everyone’s surprise, just as Da Bao was about to succeed, the abducted woman, who couldn’t bear the pressure first, suddenly stretched out her right hand and pushed the man away. At the same time, she casually removed what was in her mouth.
“Save me!”
Everyone present changed their expressions almost simultaneously.
Li Chonglou thought, “This is bad.” As expected, the next second, just as Da Bao moved, a sharp knife was steadily inserted into her back.
“Damn it!”
Li Chonglou was filled with annoyance. He had only used his Heavenly Eye divine ability to briefly observe the surroundings and hadn’t seen that the man had secretly untied the woman’s ropes!
He must have wanted to let her go first, or perhaps help her untie the ropes later. Who would have expected such an unexpected accident?
But he couldn’t blame her now. Li Chonglou and Da Bao were both seasoned veterans of the martial world. They could act out a scene without rehearsal and had a tacit understanding.
However, the woman was just an ordinary person, how could she know that their feigned indifference was to get closer to the enemy!
Under such circumstances, very few could withstand the pressure!
The other male hostage struggled desperately, but because his mouth was still stuffed, he could only let out muffled sounds.
The next second, Da Bao had already punched the assailant to the ground. The other man, before he could even react, had his head grabbed and slammed against the wall.
Li Chonglou quickly moved to the woman’s side to check on her, and his expression soon turned grim.
“How is it?”
“She won’t make it.”
The stab had gone directly into her back, killing her almost instantly.
“Damn it!”
Da Bao felt a pang of self-blame. If only he had reacted a second faster, if he had gone all out from the beginning, it might still have been enough.
The only man still conscious in the room struggled to reach the woman’s side. Seeing that the woman was no longer breathing, tears streamed down his face.
Li Chonglou removed the stuffing from his mouth.
“Amei, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for you!”
The man’s wails echoed in the room, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
“I’m sorry.”
Li Chonglou said softly. If they hadn’t come today, perhaps these two would have been fine.
Apart from the three assailants lying on the ground, the only conscious people in the room were the three of them. Those children had likely been given sleeping pills and were still in a deep slumber.
Da Bao skillfully tied up the two uninjured assailants and then walked to Li Chonglou’s side.
“What now?”
His eyes also showed self-reproach.
After being untied, the man kept hugging the woman’s corpse tightly. Li Chonglou couldn’t help but say, “The dead cannot be revived. You still have friends looking for you.”
Upon hearing the word “friends,” the man suddenly looked up.
“Did she call you?”
Strangely, there was hatred in the man’s eyes.
“Yes.”
“You’re in on it together!”
Li Chonglou frowned, “What do you mean? Aren’t you friends?”
“Friends?”
The man laughed with grief, “If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. She’s a demon, a demon in human skin!”
“What’s going on?”
Li Chonglou was startled. To use a word like “demon,” what exactly had she done to make a grieving person say such things!
The man, with tears in his eyes, slowly began to speak.
“The three of us were the best of friends, the kind who grew up playing together. However, in terms of family background, Ayen was much better off than us.”
The man paused here and suddenly took a deep breath.
“I won’t say much more. In any case, our current state is all her doing. It’s just that she didn’t expect these people to break free from her control. They found me, or rather, they should have found friends.”
Li Chonglou and Da Bao exchanged a glance and nodded.
“The real intention was to silence them!”
