Chapter 221: 219, No Way Out (First Update)_1

Guns, China is one of the countries with the strictest gun control, what’s the first reaction of ordinary people when they see a gun? It’s fear.

Ren He felt he was just an ordinary person...

Looking inside the barrel of the gun, what you see isn’t emptiness but the beautiful spiral of the rifling. The bullet will be ejected from the rifling with high-speed rotation, causing irreversible damage to the flesh upon entering.

In front of such a weapon, Ren He was just an ordinary man, the last time he rushed forward without hesitation was because the person he was saving was Yang Xi, but this time he couldn’t even figure out the identities of these two people.

Although, thinking back, the one holding the gun seemed more like a bad guy, and he might have misunderstood something last time, but he still didn’t know the truth.

So, the most sensible thing to do at this moment was to stay out of it rather than trying to show off his capabilities, Ren He believed there was nothing wrong with his choice, not everyone is a saint.

Wang shouted loudly, "Go find Lin Hao!" His idea was that since there must have been some misunderstanding between the two parties based on the last mission, calling out Lin Hao’s name was to let Ren He know he was from Skydrive, so that the latter, once hinted at, would assist him.

The killer only had one gun, if he shot at Ren He, then Wang would definitely get free and interfere, and the ultimate outcome would be the killer hitting no one. But Wang knew the killer wouldn’t be so foolish, the most likely scenario was that in a hurry, the killer would shoot him first before dealing with Ren He, which would result in injury, but that was better than death, right?

Therefore, the main purpose of Wang’s shouting was to clarify the enemy-friend relationship for Ren He to come and help, not really to find Lin Hao, because Ren He couldn’t possibly know where Lin Hao was!

Ren He hesitated while kicking off the wall, Lin Hao? The other person was from Skydrive, it seemed that he really did misunderstand last time... but he didn’t feel too pressured since misunderstandings with Skydrive were not a new thing for him.

Now the enemy-friend relationship was a bit clearer, at least Ren He knew the man in black was the bad guy, right?

"Alright, I’ll go find him," Ren He kicked off the wall and left, disappearing over the rooftop...

You really know where Lin Hao is for you to find him?! Wang was dumbfounded, was this kid genuinely foolish or just pretending? This is just...

In the dark alley, only Wang and the killer remained. It seemed the killer didn’t expect Ren He to leave so decisively, but what Wang found curious was the killer’s indifference to Ren He’s departure, why?

Logically, the killer was there to murder Ren He...

Not just two people? Wang felt he might have guessed right; there were indeed more than two people. Suddenly, a cold voice from the rooftop said, "Get down."

Ren He jumped back...

Wang felt today was a case of fearing the worst only for it to happen; he watched another person on the roof with a gun pointing at Ren He, who gently jumped down. Now both of them were at gunpoint with no chance of turning the tables, it would have been better for Wang to take the risk and fight when Ren He had just jumped down.

His biggest worry now was actually that Monkey might have been killed; the Bluetooth headset was crushed, and he couldn’t contact Monkey at all, they were now fish trapped in a jar, unable to escape.

In the dark night, Wang felt as though he was blind, the other party’s preparations were too meticulous, not only did they release false information making Skydrive believe there were only two people coming to Beijing, but they also got the target wrong.

In the new era, to some extent, information amounted to everything.

However, just as the gunman on the flat roof jumped down, Wang suddenly saw his eyes shimmer with crystal-clear tears under the moonlight. He tensed up, thinking, Ren He was about to use his big move again! And even the assassin behind him started to shed tears!

Shocked beyond belief, Wang had no time to think. He only knew that he had underestimated Ren He’s abilities in the past, for this was the first time Ren He showed the ability to make two individuals cry simultaneously. Wang had always thought it only worked on one person at a time!

With a ’pop’, the man behind him had already fired. Knowing they had encountered an unexpected situation, the best strategy for the assassin was to eliminate one target first. They had initially planned to kidnap this Skydrive member to extract information through interrogation.

Once they succeeded tonight, they could cross the border within three hours and disappear on the Mongolian grasslands, where naturally someone would be there to meet them. This was a strategy long since devised.

Wang felt a numbness in his lower back, followed by a piercing pain. He wanted to fight to the death, but in this kind of close combat, even a fully able-bodied blind person could beat him. His physical strength was rapidly draining, and the pain at the barrel of the gun gradually spread through his nerves.

In a contest between experts, once one gains the upper hand, it’s very hard for the other to turn the tables. The only variable left in this situation was Ren He, and Wang hoped he would be up to the task.

In Wang’s view, there was nothing wrong with Ren He’s actions. Now was the time to make a move, or there would truly be no opportunity left.

All Wang could do was buy time for Ren He as best he could.

The fact that a Skydrive member needed to be rescued by a 16-year-old high school student, who also was their only hope for turning the situation around, was absurd. Yet, Wang felt that perhaps this teenager really could succeed!

Ren He had just climbed the wall and hadn’t gone far when he was pushed back with the barrel of a gun. There was no other way out now; saving others might not require urgency, but saving oneself certainly does!

Truly driven into a corner, Ren He had no way out!

So when the other party jumped down from the roof, Ren He immediately deployed ’Tear Potion’. Facing the barrel of the gun for the first time, Ren He’s gaze fixed steadily on the dark muzzle to ensure he wasn’t in line with the trajectory of the shot.

Between life and death there is great terror. As Zhuangzi said, life and death are like sleeping; if you wake up after you sleep, that’s life, but if you never wake up and sink into the darkness, that’s death.

Ren He didn’t understand the grand principles; he only knew he absolutely could not die!

The moment the rooftop assassin landed, the sudden tears had already compromised part of his balance. The assassin had even lost the ability to discern Ren He’s position. Ren He took a slight step to the left, moving to one side. With a crisp roar, the bullet struck where Ren He had just been. If Ren He had been even a fraction slower, he would have been shot.

The opponent was truly skilled; even blinded, the two assassins in the alley still had a fighting chance!

But they had underestimated Ren He, everyone had!

Ren He lifted his foot, and the squeak of his shoe, the fulcrum of the action, could even be heard echoing in the alley; it was the sound of the shoe deforming under immense force!

From the corner of his eye, Wang saw Ren He with the ferocity of a sudden storm, viciously kicking the fallen assassin’s pelvis. The clear sound of breaking bones was like his favorite crispy chicken cartilage... His teeth tingled as if someone had scraped a sharp tool across a blackboard, unbearably uncomfortable. Wang couldn’t imagine what it would be like if that kick had landed on him.

He shared the same doubt as a monkey: Was this really a high school student? When he had previously seen the photos of the deformed gates at Yang En’s home in the files, he thought it would require his utmost strength to do the same, but thinking about it now, he would need to exert all his might, whereas it seemed Ren He still had plenty of strength to spare...
