Chu Lingtian, the security guard from Baoxue Company whom Jiang Huan looked down upon, was the mysterious expert who had helped Bai Mei.
At this very moment, Chu Lingtian was also unaware that the Jiang family, where Jiang Huan belonged, was one of the main culprits responsible for the massacre of his entire Chu family.
Chu Lingtian, along with Bai Mei's two trusted female bodyguards, arrived at the abandoned building in the southern suburbs.
*Bang!*
As the car approached within ten meters of the dilapidated building, a gunshot rang out, shattering the left headlight of the vehicle.
The female bodyguard driving hastily slammed on the brakes, barely managing to bring the car to a halt.
The other bodyguard immediately drew the handgun from her waist and couldn't help but exclaim, "What terrifying marksmanship! In this dark night with such poor visibility, to hit a target from such a distance with a single shot!"
"Give me a gun, two extra magazines, and you two stay in the car and don't move," Chu Lingtian said.
"No, Mr. Chu, the enemy is in the shadows and we are in the open; it's too dangerous. And if you go alone, it's a near-certain death. We'll go with you."
"Yes, we'll go with you to save Sister Mei!"
The two trusted female bodyguards were honorable and loyal to Bai Mei.
"To be honest, the two of you accompanying me will only be a burden. If I go alone, I can act without any reservations, and perhaps I can rescue Bai Mei in less than ten minutes," Chu Lingtian stated seriously.
"Mr. Chu, we know how capable you are, but the opponent is not only powerful but also well-prepared. We don't know how many traps they have already set up in the abandoned building."
"That's right. Sister Mei's lips in the video meant she didn't want us to notify you or have you come here to take risks. But we still told you, letting you put yourself in danger. We already feel very ashamed, so please let us go in with you to rescue Sister Mei."
The two trusted female bodyguards said to Chu Lingtian very sincerely.
Chu Lingtian didn't want to waste any more time. Every second wasted meant Bai Mei was another second closer to the risk of being stabbed with a beer bottle. Thus, his eyes turned cold, and he no longer concealed the imposing aura of the Grim Wolf King, his gaze as sharp as a blade as he stared at the two female bodyguards and commanded:
"Stay in the car and do not move!"
With that, as the two female bodyguards were stunned into silence by his sudden terrifying gaze, Chu Lingtian got out of the car, holding a handgun and two magazines.
*Bang!*
The moment Chu Lingtian stepped out of the car, a bullet whizzed past his head.
"Headshot, I assume you called me here because you're not convinced that I beat your sniper rifle with my handgun that night in the bar. If that's the case, how about a life-or-death wager?"
Chu Lingtian had guessed that Headshot would fire as soon as he got out, so he was prepared. The instant he exited the car, he rolled on the ground, dodging the bullet.
"Fine, you have guts! Speak, how do we bet?"
Headshot's angry roar came from inside the abandoned building.
"You're a sharpshooter, so let's compete with our marksmanship. We'll each stand ten meters apart and fire simultaneously. One shot to decide life or death. Do you dare?"
From Headshot's words, Chu Lingtian gathered that he was extremely confident in his shooting skills, so he employed a provocation tactic.
"Hmph, a marksmanship contest? You're seeking death! I'll grant you your wish! Alright, as long as you can successfully reach the rooftop to see me, I'll accept this life-or-death gamble!"
Headshot snorted, gritting his teeth in rage.
That night outside the bar, he had the advantage of height and attacked from hiding, intending to snipe Bai Mei. Not only was Chu Lingtian's attempt foiled, but Chu Lingtian had also rushed out of the bar with just a handgun and injured him from his high vantage point.
This had infuriated Headshot, who had always been confident in his marksmanship and considered himself a sharpshooter, to the point of exploding with rage.
Later, Headshot had thought it over carefully, believing he had been careless, not expecting Bai Mei's subordinates to have such a skilled marksman. That's why he had been caught off guard and injured by Chu Lingtian. If he had fought with all his might, Chu Lingtian would surely not have been his match and would have died under his gun.
This was why he dared to agree to Chu Lingtian's one-shot-to-decide-life-or-death wager!
Chu Lingtian, holding his handgun, moved stealthily into the abandoned building, using the faint moonlight. However, from Headshot's words, he sensed that there were definitely other people ambushing in the building.
*Bang! Bang! Bang...*
Soon, gunshots echoed continuously from within the abandoned building.
The two female bodyguards in the car were extremely anxious, but remembering Chu Lingtian's words and his wolf-king-like piercing gaze, they could only suppress their urge and waited in the car, holding their guns.
Hearing the gunshots, Bai Mei struggled to get up from the ground, but her body was weak and limp.
Although Headshot disliked women, he was inherently cruel and particularly enjoyed tormenting and abusing people. Seeing Bai Mei trying to escape, he directly picked up a beer bottle from the ground and advanced step by step.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Headshot instinctively rolled on the ground and grabbed his sniper rifle.
But the moment Headshot raised his sniper rifle, before he could find a target to shoot, Chu Lingtian pressed the barrel of his gun against his forehead.
"You... there are still gunshots below, how did you suddenly appear here..."
Headshot was horrified, his hair standing on end. Cold sweat broke out instantly as he stared at Chu Lingtian in disbelief and asked.
"All of your men hiding in the shadows have been found and killed by me. To make you relax your guard, thinking I was still engaged in a fierce gunfight with your subordinates, I eliminated your men but continued firing."
Chu Lingtian sneered.
"I didn't expect this seductive woman to have a master like you among her subordinates. No wonder Li Wei of the Sanhe Gang wasn't your match."
Headshot mistakenly believed Chu Lingtian was Bai Mei's subordinate.
In fact, not only Headshot, but also Hei Baozi, and even Jiang Huan, who was rushing towards this location, all thought Chu Lingtian was Bai Mei's underling.
"I could have shot you dead just now, but I always keep my word. I said we would have a gamble, one shot to decide life or death, and I will do as I said."
Chu Lingtian removed the barrel of his gun.
Headshot looked at Chu Lingtian, deeply shaken. It was the first time he had encountered someone so brave, cunning, and audacious.
But at this moment, Bai Mei suddenly struggled to her feet. Her face was flushed, her consciousness hazy. Her fair body swayed as she walked to the edge of the floor and stepped off, plummeting down from the fifteenth story...
