On the rooftop opposite, Gui Dao’s lips curled into a playful smile.
"That foreign girl has quick reflexes. Too bad, if she were the target, she wouldn’t escape. Few can escape from my grasp."
He continued to aim, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
With a silencer, gunshots were rarely heard, let alone from such a high floor where the howling wind drowned out the sound.
Inside Juling Group, Lin Tian Ai, after a brief moment of shock, also reacted. She didn't know where the bullets were coming from and dared not move recklessly.
"The sniper is on the rooftop of the building opposite. His line of sight is excellent. When I throw the paper, you run!"
Diana said urgently.
Everything was glass, and it faced them directly. To rush to the elevator from here, they would have to cross the cubicles, which would expose their figures.
As long as the opponent was an experienced sniper, they would anticipate their movements. Once hit by a predicted shot, death would be their only fate.
Lin Tian Ai took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay!"
*Swish—*
Sheets of A4 paper flew through the air. The moment the paper fluttered, Lin Tian Ai ran towards the opposite building.
"Bang bang bang!"
Bullets grazed past Lin Tian Ai, hitting her shoulders on both sides. The injuries were not severe.
"Don't worry about me, leave quickly. They are after you!"
Diana said calmly. After careful analysis, she continued, "Go to Yuanzhan Capital and have Mr. Ye pick you up midway."
Lin Tian Ai didn't hesitate, turning and entering the elevator.
At the same time, Ye Longlin, at Yuanzhan Capital, received the call, his expression instantly turning grim. He seemed to be consumed by anger. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Mu Hanqi looked at him questioningly, "What's wrong?"
"Lin Tian Ai has been attacked. There's a gunman. Their target should be me, otherwise, they wouldn't have gone after Lin Tian Ai."
There were no tall buildings near Yuanzhan Capital. To be precise, within a one-kilometer radius, Yuanzhan Capital was the only skyscraper, exceeding forty stories.
Mu Hanqi's face suddenly changed, "I'm going with you!"
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Longlin’s reaction, she grabbed his hand and hurried towards the exit.
Mu Hanqi’s hand was very soft. Compared to his rough hand, his first feeling was not to hold it tightly, as if it were jade, fearing it would shatter.
"What are you going for? Are you looking for death? Stay here obediently!"
Ye Longlin shouted coldly, his arm exerting force. He gripped her hand and pulled her directly.
Mu Hanqi, who was walking forward, was pulled back by Ye Longlin’s immense strength. She lost her balance and stumbled backward.
*Stumble, stumble, stumble.*
Just as she was about to fall, Ye Longlin reacted quickly, supporting her waist. Their eyes met.
Mu Hanqi glared at him, "Is my waist nice to touch?"
However, at that moment, Yuan Gang opened the door and walked in. Seeing them in an intimate posture, he paused for a moment and said softly, "Sorry to disturb you. Please continue."
Closing the door, Yuan Gang was excited. The boss had finally made a move!
Ye Longlin's old face flushed red. He picked her up like a chicken, his face stern, "This is not the time for fooling around. You stay right here!"
After speaking, he gave her a glare and called out, "Yuan Gang, get in here!"
Hearing Ye Longlin call him from outside, he was stunned and muttered, "Is the boss that fast?"
"Lin Tian Ai is in trouble. There’s a sniper. Quickly locate Lin Tian Ai’s vehicle, we're going, and you try to contact her to see if you can reach her."
Ye Longlin’s expression was grave. He didn’t know the situation on the ground. A direct assault would be troublesome, and Lin Tian Ai hadn’t said much more.
Yuan Gang was taken aback, clearly not expecting the sudden emergency. He immediately nodded, "Yes!"
Mu Hanqi followed behind Ye Longlin, silent.
"I told you, you stay here, you're not allowed to go anywhere."
Mu Hanqi didn't listen and stubbornly said, "No, I'm going."
Ye Longlin’s head ached. He couldn't help but say coldly, "What are you going for? If something really happens, I'll have to be distracted protecting you!"
Mu Hanqi looked stubbornly into Ye Longlin’s eyes, "I can take a bullet for you!"
This sentence made Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang’s hearts tremble. Yuan Gang's face became even more solemn and sorrowful.
After this statement, both of them tacitly stopped speaking, as if agreeing to let Mu Hanqi accompany them.
Taking the elevator, Mu Hanqi waited on the first floor, while Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang went to the basement to prepare weapons, so they couldn't let Mu Hanqi know.
"Boss, Mu Hanqi has a shadow of Xiao Cao. I can see that Mu Hanqi likes you, the kind of person who can truly take a bullet for you."
Yuan Gang silently assembled weapons, looking at the bullets in his hand as if talking to himself.
Xiao Cao was a girl.
There was a time when the Dragon Pavilion had a mistress.
Ye Longlin was once ordered to carry out an evacuation mission. During the mission, his convoy encountered shelling from local rebels. One of the buses in the evacuation convoy was hit by artillery fire. Only one girl survived in the entire bus, and that was Xiao Cao.
As she said, she was born humble and died unknown. While others' lives were as brilliant as flowers, hers rotted into the earth like withered leaves.
She was a girl who lived in darkness, unwilling to believe in light.
Yet he was like a moth drawn to a flame.
What struck Ye Longlin the most deeply were her eyes, as clear and cool as spring water, seeming to see through people’s hearts, pure and clean.
During that evacuation mission, Xiao Cao couldn't help but fall in love with Ye Longlin, confessing it more than once.
The mission lasted for three months. Xiao Cao insisted on accompanying them on the mission, having the stationed navy take her onto the ship. They didn't know how she got off, but eventually, the Dragon Pavilion soldiers tacitly accepted Xiao Cao's presence. Xiao Cao was also a source of joy, diluting the murderous intent of a purely violent organization like the Dragon Pavilion.
But during the evacuation of the last batch of overseas Chinese, they fell into a fierce battle. They were out of ammunition and supplies. The Dragon Pavilion soldiers sacrificed more than thirty people to break through the encirclement. Ye Longlin became the primary target, with countless artillery fire concentrated on him, aiming to turn him into a sieve. But in the end, Xiao Cao resolutely stood in front of him.
Ye Longlin would never forget Xiao Cao turning around, smiling at him and saying, "I was born humble and dim, like an ephemeral being in this world, unnoticed by anyone. I wish to live like the splendor of summer flowers and die as beautifully as autumn leaves. To be able to stand in front of you, am I not so useless, Ye... Ye Longlin..."
"I said I'd take a bullet for you... I did it... You still haven't said... Do you like me... Ye... Ye Longlin..."
That day, amidst a sea of blood, Ye Longlin was enraged. Not only did he complete the evacuation mission, but he also slaughtered the entire rebel force. However, Xiao Cao died.
The Dragon Pavilion soldiers watched with pain in their hearts. How could they not see that Ye Longlin liked this humble little girl?
"Even if I die, I, Ye Longlin, will die standing. I don't need anyone to take a bullet for me!"
