Under the building opposite the City Seventh Middle School, two men were fiercely fighting. The sniper rifle shots continually pierced the clear sky.
"Jie, my position has been discovered. There are two snipers on the other side, making it impossible for me to lift my head,"
Sure enough, the two men whom Blood Wolf instructed to go upstairs were both snipers, and the backpacks they carried during the operation were loaded with sniper rifles.
"Bing, hold on. Just hang in there a bit longer, reinforcements are on the way." Shen Junjie faced off with Blood Wolf. Both were exchanging deadly blows, unable to afford any distraction.
'Bang'
Another gunshot sounded. Shen Junjie immediately felt a strong sense of crisis, but Blood Wolf was pressing on step by step, and a bullet 'whooshed' past his shoulder.
Blood instantly stained Shen Junjie's left shoulder.
It wasn't that Shen Junjie let his guard down, but he couldn't dodge because Blood Wolf was eyeing him like a tiger from the side. A single slip could be fatal, and being injured was just the simplest consequence.
"Jie."
"Bing, don't move." Shen Junjie heard his companion's cry through the intercom, but if Bing showed his head, it would surely...
'Bang.'
"Ah..."
"Bing," Hearing his companion's cry of pain, Shen Junjie immediately felt something was wrong.
"Huff, huff, huff... I'm okay, just a little hurt, but I can't help you anymore." Bing's right shoulder was shot through, and he couldn't lift his arm at all, so he couldn't pull the trigger anymore.
"Shen Junjie, you'd better worry about yourself first." Blood Wolf took advantage of the gap and immediately launched a fierce attack.
With the assistance of the sniper rifle and the sudden rush of assassins from inside the building, Shen Junjie was unable to fend off the attacks and was beaten back repeatedly.
Even though he knew he was outmatched, he gritted his teeth and held on desperately because if he fell, his sister would be in danger. He couldn't let his last family member in this world get hurt, even if it cost him his life.
"Let's see how long you can hold on." Blood Wolf sneered, suddenly launching a sneak attack, a cold light shot out.
Shen Junjie immediately dodged the hidden weapon, but in the next moment, the opponent's attack was already upon him.
'Puff.' Although Shen Junjie covered his chest with both hands, the powerful kick from Blood Wolf still knocked him to the ground. At this moment, if another bullet came over, it would be over.
But Shen Junjie suddenly revealed a smile. Seeing this, Blood Wolf felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
'Bang.'
The gunshot rang out, but Shen Junjie was still alive.
"Captain, their reinforcements have arrived."
With a shout from an assassin, the two snipers upstairs were directly shot in the head without knowing what happened. Bing smiled bitterly at the companions who had come to rescue him but fainted before he could greet them.
The suddenly emerged reinforcements quickly surrounded them. Seeing the situation was wrong, Blood Wolf immediately left everyone behind and quickly fled the scene. Shen Junjie hurriedly got up from the ground to chase after, but unfortunately, the opponent escaped at the first corner.
A total of eight assassins, including two snipers on the roof, were all killed; capturing them alive was not possible because they were all death soldiers trained to be desperados.
It seemed the matter had come to an end, but Shen Junjie still hadn't received any news about his sister. And that hotel owner had been silenced. No leads were found among the twenty-seven students traced by the police. Could it be that Shen Zuimo had already left H City?
"Hey, boss, the mission failed. Shen Junjie of the Four Heroes of Yanhuang intervened, so I..."
"I don't want to hear any excuses. You know what happens when you fail. Moreover, you lost me so many talents." A commanding voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No, boss, please give me another chance. An insider just relayed that the police seem to have not found any trace of the nightingale, and I recognized that high school student's face, please give me another chance to redeem myself." Just a moment ago, Blood Wolf, who seemed fearless, was now extremely servile over the phone.
"..." After a brief silence, the other side said faintly: "Come back first. Keep contact with the police insider, I'll send others to H City to standby, you come back and take a break."
"Thank you, boss." After being pardoned, Blood Wolf finally breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and immediately looked at the high-rise building behind him with a fierce glare: "Shen Junjie, you got lucky this time. Next time, I'll make sure you die by my hand."
Ye Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo, although they eluded the police search, were unaware that they had already been recognized by Blood Wolf. In fact, the reason Blood Wolf didn't take further action was because they knew the police insider had been suspected. They had no idea that Shen Zuimo might be a trap, and acting rashly might cause even greater losses.
It was precisely because of this worry that Ye Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo were able to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant time, although happiness is always brief.
"Hey, hey, why did you eat everything? I'm still hungry." Ye Xiaofan came out from the toilet and found the fast-food meal he bought had been mostly eaten by Shen Zuimo, and immediately complained with tears in his eyes.
"Oh, I thought you bought it for me," Shen Zuimo said with a glance, then continued eating unabashedly.
"Come on, the way you eat, you might not get fat now, but after thirty, you'll definitely become a fat woman," Ye Xiaofan said, drooling at the few remaining boxed meals.
"Do you mind if I become a fat woman in the future?" Shen Zuimo suddenly looked over with a faint gaze.
Under her beautiful eyes, Ye Xiaofan was suddenly a bit dumbfounded. Although he was complaining about her stealing his food, seeing her eating so satisfyingly made him happy too.
"Does it matter if I mind? You're not my wife," Ye Xiaofan turned his head away, speaking sourly.
"Right. So why are you so good to me? You could totally just ignore me."
Was this question again? How did he answer it before? Ye Xiaofan looked at the ceiling, and his thoughts began to change slowly.
"Because you're pretty."
That's right, that was the answer, of course, there was a bit of a joke in it. But after this period of living together, such an answer no longer seemed convincing.
"Hee hee."
A burst of pleasant laughter came over.
She laughed, looking very happy. This was the only time Ye Xiaofan had seen Shen Zuimo laugh so brightly since they met.
"Look, there's still so much left, do you want to eat?" Shen Zuimo pointed at the boxed meal in her hands.
"Oh, you filled yourself up and left the scraps for me," Ye Xiaofan pretended to be displeased.
"Who says so? There are still two pieces of meat. If you don't want them, I'll eat them," Shen Zuimo mischievously brought the boxed meal to her mouth.
"Ah, no, I'll eat." Starving, Ye Xiaofan wouldn't miss the last bit of food.
"Here, take it." Shen Zuimo smiled slightly and handed it over.
"Gosh, I'm so hungry, my legs are weak, my head is dizzy, I can't move. I'm going to starve to death, if only someone would feed me right now," Ye Xiaofan said, flopping onto the sofa pretending to be dead.
Shen Zuimo rolled her eyes, looking amusedly annoyed at Ye Xiaofan's antics, and gracefully walked over to the sofa.
"Here, open your mouth."
Seeing Shen Zuimo actually come over to feed him, Ye Xiaofan was stunned. Looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face, he thought that if he could have such a woman as his wife, he would have no regrets in life.
"Aah." Without hesitation, Ye Xiaofan opened his big mouth and gobbled up the food Shen Zuimo brought with her chopsticks.
"Sit up to eat, don't choke." Shen Zuimo moved aside slightly.
After sitting up, their eyes met. The atmosphere was a bit awkward yet sweet at the same time. Looking at that adorable, rosy face, Ye Xiaofan had the urge to kiss her.
"Why so close, open up."
"Hm? Oh." Once again, he opened his mouth, Ye Xiaofan absentmindedly chewed the food in his mouth, his eyes blankly staring at Shen Zuimo.
"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Zuimo glanced sideways, momentarily unable to directly face this boy in front of her.
"I don't want to eat the food, I want to eat you."
