581: Chapter 570 581: Chapter 570 This should have been a touching scene.
Zhinu actually had two identities, one as Gulang’s subordinate, and the other, as Gulang’s woman.
Despite dressing in men’s clothes, her features were actually delicate and quite androgynous, leading everyone to assume Zhinu was a man.
At that moment, Gulang was seriously injured, while Zhinu, disregarding the danger to her own life, ran to Gulang’s side and embraced him deeply.
This scene, in any TV drama, would have moved a big part of the audience.
But Song Yun’s heart could be sometimes soft, very soft, and other times hard, quite hard indeed.
Song Yun slowly made his way to where Gulang lay, reaching him in just a few steps.
“I beg you, I beg you to spare Gulang, please!!” Zhinu’s face was covered with a mix of blood and tears.
She had already been injured in the fight against the five-person team, and now her Qi-Blood surged to her heart, worsening her injuries significantly.
“You all have to die,” Song Yun said unemotionally, shaking his head.
“However, I can let you choose the way you die.”
“What?” Zhinu, holding Gulang, asked somewhat bewilderedly.
“Either be shattered by a gunshot, or you kill Gulang and then commit suicide,” Song Yun said coldly, glancing at Zhinu.
He wasn’t swayed in the slightest by the fact that she was a beautiful-looking woman.
Song Yun’s compassion was reserved only for those he cared about and loved.
On the battlefield, against an enemy, any softness was a liability to one’s own life.
“Boss, I believe you would rather not die at the hands of Song Yun.
Zhinu today will accompany you in death.
The greatest fortune in my life has been meeting you, boss.” While speaking, Zhinu pulled a palm-sized knife from her bosom and murmured, “This knife, given to me when you saved me back then, marks the transition from the little girl of the past to the adult I’ve become today.
Let it end everything now.”
As Zhinu spoke, she raised the knife, aiming to stab Gulang.
Due to their positioning, the blade faced Gulang, while the hilt was pointed straight at Song Yun.
Just as the knife was about to penetrate Gulang’s body.
Suddenly.
Click.
A slight crisp sound.
A small gap abruptly opened at the handle of the knife, and a streak of cold light shot out, its speed so fast it was nearly visible only as a flash of light.
“You still want to struggle?” Song Yun scoffed with disdain, swiftly batting away the silver needle that had been launched at him.
In that moment, Gulang forcefully slapped the ground, utilizing the resulting reaction force to suddenly stand up.
Without hesitation, he lunged at Song Yun.
“Actually, had you not mentioned you took a top-grade pill, maybe your surprise attack would have succeeded,” Song Yun said eerily, his body already pushed several meters back.
It appeared that as he knocked away the needle, Song Yun had already begun to retreat, and as Gulang rose, Song Yun had prepared a defensive move.
Simultaneously, a loud bang.
Zhinu’s body shuddered, and then staring incredulously at the hole in her chest, her eyes rolled back as she collapsed on the ground.
Meng Ku didn’t pause for even a moment, promptly reloading another bullet.
Although Song Yun’s strength had recovered a lot by then, it was still far from his peak.
Fortunately, Gulang’s attack was merely a fleeting resurgence.
Song Yun couldn’t help feeling somewhat relieved, remembering what Song Qingyan had told him when he set out.
“At Gulang’s place, there might be top-grade stuff.
Remember, people weakened from such items often experience a fleeting resurgence for a few seconds.
During these seconds, those who used the top-grade items will regain peak physical strength and completely forget their injuries, but this resurgence won’t last longer than 5 seconds.
Just be cautious, and you won’t be caught off guard!”
Now, Gulang was still at his peak, but Song Yun had first distanced himself, and by the time Gulang closed in, 2 seconds had passed.
After Song Yun parried a few blows, another 4.5 seconds elapsed, and Gulang’s complexion suddenly turned deathly pale!
“Song Yun, I won’t accept this!!” Gulang shouted, reaching out desperately to catch Song Yun, but Song Yun simply stood still, not budging an inch.
The hand fell limp about ten centimeters in front of Song Yun, and Gulang’s entire body slumped to the ground.
Standing before Gulang, Song Yun looked down at his ferocious face and said, “No matter how crafty and cunning your schemes, in the end, you’re just a bandit with a dead end.”
“I can’t accept this!!
I can’t accept it.
If not for so many people supporting you, you would have met your end without a grave!!
I really cannot accept this!!” Gulang roared, although his voice grew weaker and weaker.
“Victory goes to the king, defeat to the bandit.
You are merely a bandit,” Song Yun declared, then signaled to the five-person squad to come over.
“Ninja, hand me the gun,” Song Yun said.
“Understood,” Ninja nodded, pulling out a silver Desert Eagle and handing it to Song Yun.
“Gulang, from today on, Sunan will no longer have the multitude of plot and deception, because all the markets belong to me.” Song Yun aimed the gun at Gulang’s head and spoke indifferently, just about to pull the trigger, when suddenly, a voice rang out.
“Comrade Song Yun, wait, I need to take Gulang for investigation!!”
Song Yun looked ahead and saw that the several members of the special investigations team he had seen before had appeared not far away.
“Hahaha, Song Yun, you still can’t kill me!!” Gulang’s face revealed a look of manic joy, “I still have to be questioned, hahaha, you can’t lay a finger on me anymore!!!
Hahaha, my territory will still be mine, I still have a chance, hahaha!!!”
Song Yun fished in his pocket and pulled out a pack of badly distorted cigarettes, placing one in his mouth, then took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.
“Comrade Song Yun, we are ordered to take Gulang back to Yanjing, thank you for your cooperation,” Leopard said, seeing that Song Yun had halted his action.
He was supposed to have left Sunan by now.
The instructions from above were for him to head straight back to Yanjing, but unexpectedly, they sent him back to Sunan at the last moment.
Then they said if Gulang won, they would help him eradicate Song Yun, but if Gulang lost, he was to ensure Song Yun spared Gulang’s life, as someone from above needed Gulang.
Song Yun took a deep drag on his cigarette, then blew out a ring of smoke, the rising fumes obscuring his expression from Long Yi.
“Gulang, I told you, what’s yours will be mine,” Song Yun lifted the gun, pointed it at Gulang’s head, and pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
