Chapter 531: 469 Exciting Game (Two in One)_2
Jiang Chen comforted her.
"Yeah, maybe they’ll give me a better spot next time I’m in a fashion show."
Pei Yunxi nodded.
Jiang Chen forced a smile.
Resting her chin on her hands, Pei Yunxi gazed at the green field. At this moment, she didn’t have the air of a big star at all, just like an exceptionally beautiful ordinary woman.
"Do you really want to give K.E. to me?"
Jiang Chen was startled. He didn’t expect the other party to suddenly bring up the sensitive topic, and he didn’t know how to respond.
Previously, he actually had this intention, just like King You of Zhou tried to please his concubine with a smiling courtesan. But now, hadn’t there been a hiccup?
Who could have foreseen the Fujiwara Family, that Cheng Yaojin, suddenly coming out of nowhere?
"Do you want it?"
He countered with a question.
Neither of them were fools. At a time like this, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Pei Yunxi smiled, a simple expression, yet when paired with that face, it still created a breathtaking scene.
"Why ask such a hypocritical question? With K.E., I could go without working for the rest of my life. But, I still feel somewhat reluctant."
Reluctant.
That word, ’reluctant,’ was laden with deep meaning.
The ending for a female star was usually nothing more than a few possibilities: either marrying a wealthy man or becoming a rich man’s lover.
Jiang Chen was caught off guard.
It seemed like she was opening up to him.
"How about this instead?"
"What?"
Jiang Chen asked subconsciously.
Pei Yunxi looked at the green field and chuckled in a tone that was both genuine and false, "If one day, you can take me to watch Shenzhou play in the World Cup, I’ll accept my fate."
Jiang Chen was astonished, then he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
This condition.
Might as well ask him to tile the Great Wall or install an elevator on Mount Everest.
To watch Shenzhou at the World Cup, first, Shenzhou has to qualify for the World Cup.
Wasn’t that pure science fiction?
There were indeed some things in the world that money couldn’t achieve.
Many bosses were interested in soccer, and there were no lack of passionate warriors who had tried, but what was the result?
All failed, wings clipped.
"You think too highly of me."
"I believe you can do it."
Pei Yunxi winked at him.
Jiang Chen laughed.
True to her profession as an actress.
Indeed, a thousand faces for a thousand souls.
The two watched the entire soccer match.
It finally ended in a 2:2 draw.
Leaving the venue, Jiang Chen was still pondering over getting the Shenzhou national team to the World Cup.
In the end, he realized it was too much of a fool’s dream.
The exit was crowded.
The bustling stream of people caused their bodies to bump into each other repeatedly.
But by now, Pei Yunxi didn’t resist such level of contact too much.
A woman wearing a peaked cap who had also just watched the match exited with the crowd, passing by Jiang Chen and Pei Yunxi.
Perhaps because she was also Chinese, Jiang Chen glanced at her unconsciously.
The woman, who didn’t seem very old, didn’t notice Jiang Chen, nor did she recognize Pei Yunxi, a big star well-known throughout Shenzhou. She walked straight to a Cadillac that often appeared in blockbusters, parked by the roadside.
A tough guy in black suit and black shoes opened the car door for her.
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze away, not paying too much attention, but suddenly, an almost instinctive sense of intense crisis surged in his heart.
He instinctively grabbed Pei Yunxi’s hand.
"What are you doing?"
Pei Yunxi frowned. Though she no longer minded regular physical contact, that didn’t mean she would let him take liberties with her, and she immediately began to struggle.
However, Jiang Chen’s grip was strong. He didn’t offer any explanation and just stared intently at a jeep rushing from a distance.
People were still cheerfully discussing the recent soccer match, unaware of any anomaly.
Only Jiang Chen kept his eyes fixed on the jeep.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
The front and rear windows simultaneously rolled down.
All masked faces appeared.
Then.
Two pitch-black gun muzzles emerged.
Jiang Chen’s body tensed up, and he shouted, "Look out!"
After alerting the others, he immediately pulled Pei Yunxi and ran forward.
"Bang bang bang..."
In an instant.
Guns blazed!
The jubilant atmosphere was instantly torn apart.
The group hardly had a chance to react before cold bullets struck them down, their blood blossoming in agony as they fell to the ground.
Then, there was silence.
"Ah..."
A shrill scream jolted everyone awake.
After the silence came chaos!
Outside the stadium, people were shoving and pushing each other in terror, frantically scattering in all directions. Many were knocked to the ground, and before they could rise, they were stepped on and forced back down.
This was indeed the city of romance.
But at times like this, who could maintain a gentlemanly demeanor?
The street was a complete mess.
The gunmen in the jeep were unflinchingly cruel. They were certainly not terrorists. The cold eyes behind their masks locked onto Jiang Chen and Pei Yunxi amidst the chaotic crowd, continuously pulling the trigger.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
One by one, people fell to the ground in response.
Damn it!
Is this the free and civilized Western world?
Jiang Chen’s complexion turned ugly as he realized these gunmen were probably targeting him. He didn’t have time to think about who was behind it. Gripping Pei Yunxi’s hand tightly, he had no choice but to weave through the crowd to evade them.
Thus, the people on the street became sacrificial lambs.
One after another, people were hit by bullets, falling as innocent victims.
The sudden slaughter shocked the entire street.
Everyone fled for their lives.
Sweat broke out on Jiang Chen’s forehead.
Even with a will firmer than his peers, he was, after all, just a young man in his twenties.
This was no movie set!
Had he ever faced such a situation?!
Jiang Chen quickly surveyed his surroundings for an escape route but found that the number of people around him was thinning!
The others had sensed whom the gunmen were targeting and dared not come any closer.
This was bad!
Compared to the chaotic street, the Cadillac Escalade parked at the curb was glaringly out of place.
It was about to leave, but the sudden change of events caused it to stop.
Inside the car.
The Chinese woman in the cap looked out the window at the inhumane slaughter, frowning slightly. She quickly noticed Jiang Chen and Pei Yunxi, who were locked on by the assassin and in imminent danger.
Gazing at the young, unsightly, and gloomy face, her eyes flickered, and then she said, "Go help them."
"Yes."
The two bodyguards, disregarding the danger, exited the car without a second word, and as they did, they reached inside their coats.
Knowing that death was drawing ever closer, Jiang Chen could only force himself and Pei Yunxi to keep running. But how could a person outrun a car or bullets?
And in the chaos, it seemed Pei Yunxi was jostled by someone; she stumbled and began to fall forward, off-balance.
Fortuitously, Jiang Chen was quick on his feet, catching her in time. Using himself as a cushion, they both hit the ground with him shielding her in his arms, rolling to the side.
"Thud thud thud..."
The relentless bullets sparked fire where they had been just moments before.
If they had been a bit slower, they might have been riddled with bullets by now!
Jiang Chen, in utter disarray, barely had time to feel relieved before looking up and finding the jeep already parked at the curbside with several gun barrels aiming straight at him!
A real and icy breath of death washed over him!
"BYE."
A hint of a cold smile flashed across the gunman’s eyes.
"Crash!"
At this critical moment.
The jeep’s rear window suddenly shattered.
The gunman in the backseat convulsed, collapsing into his seat.
Two stern-faced men in suits walked toward the jeep, coldly firing their guns.
Bullets flew wildly.
It was like a scene from a blockbuster movie.
"Fuck!"
The gunmen inside the jeep were taken aback, evidently not expecting anyone to intervene. Knowing the police would arrive soon, they couldn’t afford to delay and, begrudgingly, withdrew their guns.
"Vroom..."
The accelerator was floored.
Leaving behind carnage and the injured civilians writhing in pain, the jeep quickly fled the scene.
Jiang Chen, having narrowly escaped death, took a deep breath, his body already soaked in sweat.
This must have been his closest brush with death.
He looked toward the men in suits who had descended like avenging angels.
But they were utterly indifferent, not even glancing his way. After seeing the shooters flee, they holstered their weapons, as if nothing had happened, and returned to the Cadillac.
The Cadillac restarted and smoothly passed in front of Jiang Chen.
Suddenly.
His arm tightened.
Jiang Chen looked down.
"Are you alright?"
In his arms, Pei Yunxi, pale-faced, attempted a weak smile, "No, no problem."
Seeing her colorless face and the sweat beading on her forehead, Jiang Chen sensed something was wrong and looked down.
A shocking expanse of red immediately assaulted his vision!
A heavy feeling sank in his heart.
