Chapter 669: Chapter 16: Making a Scene

Tang Lu flashed a smile, manipulating the three old drunks, stirring up their relationship. After taking a swig of alcohol, she walked towards the uncle blocking the door. Just as the lewd man reached out to touch Tang Lu’s chest, the girl suddenly flared up, grabbed the bottle, and smacked it hard on his forehead. Instantly, shards of glass flew everywhere, and blood flowed freely.

Ignoring the drunkard who collapsed on the ground, Tang Lu made a run for the door. But just as she touched the door handle, her long black hair was seized by a big hand, pulling her back with a force that almost ripped off her scalp.

Tang Lu cried out in pain as her head jerked backward, her hand slipping from the door handle. She was dragged by an old man to the sofa and thrown onto it.

"Little girl, dare to fight back? Prepare to suffer!" The old man, lewdly eyeing the youthful and attractive Tang Lu, gulped down his saliva and pounced on her.

Tang Lu, dressed in a cute pink maid skirt, looked lovely and adorable. The exposed collarbone added to her delicate charm, and her fair legs were covered in white stockings. The slip-on round-toe leather shoes had been kicked off in her desperate struggle to prevent the old drunk from coming any closer.

With a rip, Tang Lu’s lace ruffled maid skirt was torn off, making the girl’s struggle more intense. She cursed incessantly, but to no avail. Even the bloody man was staggering towards her.

Other barmaids watched coldly from the side, not even considering calling the police. They could avoid punishment by claiming they couldn’t avert the crime due to their vulnerability.

"Hmph, we’ll spread the news of what happened today, and see how she lusts over tips." The barmaids exchanged glances, seeing apparent satisfaction in each other’s eyes. They’d long wanted to teach her a lesson for stealing from their livelihood.

Poor Tang Lu was caught in the crossfire, but she hadn’t given up yet. She reached out and snagged another bottle from the tea table, smashing it against the man’s head in front of her. Blood splattered all over her.

Tang Lu took the chance to kick against his abdomen and tried to run. But she hadn’t made it two steps before she was grabbed by her arm and pulled back.

"You bastards!" Tang Lu was truly desperate now, but just as she finished cursing, she heard a loud bang. The private room door was kicked open and flew seven or eight meters, hurtling into the opposite wall.

This violent act stunned everyone in the room. As they instinctively turned their heads, they saw a stern-looking young man holding a bar security guard by the throat, standing commandingly and intimidatingly.

Not expecting to walk right into the act of a heinous crime, Tang Zheng furrowed his eyebrows. But since he noticed his target girl, he tossed the security guard forward, knocking him unconscious against the wall, before walking into the room.

"Help me!" Tang Lu pleaded for help, struggling with all her might. The three old men’s faces turned hideous as they growled at Tang Zheng, "Do you know who we are? Get out!"

Without wasting any words, Tang Zheng drew out his Beretta M9, aimed at the man clutching Tang Lu, and pulled the trigger.

Bang. The spinning bullet tore through his bicep, blood spraying everywhere, and the entire arm grasping Tang Lu was severed.

"You dare... Ahh!" The old man’s speech turned into a screaming as he saw his severed arm hanging limply from Tang Lu’s body, his face a mix of fear and shock.

An old man wielding a bottle targeted Tang Zheng’s head, but he dodged it, jamming the muzzle of his gun in the man’s mouth. The force was so great that the man’s mouth split, two teeth getting knocked out.

"Don’t shoot!" The old man slurred his plea for mercy, dropping the bottle and raising his hands.

Tang Zheng turned to the other man, who quickly began to beg for mercy. Tang Lu took advantage of the distraction and attempted to run. In her view, Tang Zheng was just an unruly youngster, who despite saving her, was far from a good man.

Tang Zheng reached out with one hand, grabbed Tang Lu’s arm, and pulled out the gun from the man’s mouth. He swung it at the unlucky man’s temple, knocking him out.

"Come with me, someone wants you dead!" Tang Zheng didn’t care whether Tang Lu believed him or not, pulling her along to leave.

"Okay, but first let go of me!"

Ruan Feifei and four others were rushing over, so Tang Zheng wasn’t worried about her running away.

Having regained freedom, Tang Lu immediately turned and ran towards the three barmaids crouched in the corner. Without a word, she slapped each of them, then passed the man pleading for mercy by the sofa, picking up an ashtray and knocking it hard on his head.

"Hmph, is it so easy to take advantage of me?" Tang Lu picked up her torn skirt, seeing it was ruined and got really mad. She put on one of the barmaids’ coats that was lying on the sofa, tying it around her waist.

"Let’s go!" Tang Lu’s face was slightly blushing as her underwear had been exposed – it was embarrassing! But immediately, she started thinking about how to escape from Tang Zheng.

"You should know where the back door is, right? Take us out." Tang Zheng wasn’t going to use the front door. He quickly glanced to either side before he started hurrying along, pulling Tang Lu along without giving her a chance to refuse.

"I can get there myself, but first, I need to change my clothes in the break room." Xiaolu planned to seize this opportunity to call the police, but Tang Zheng’s response made her lose hope.

"No time, whatever you lack, I’ll make up for it later." Tang Zheng looked back, frowned and said, "Mei Jueye, go ahead and lead the way."

He did not want to keep an eye on a crazed high school student who was trailing behind him and could potentially cause trouble.

Mei Jueye didn’t dare to refuse. He slung the rifle over his shoulder and advanced in the direction indicated by Tang Lu. When they entered the backstage passage, a man’s voice sounded.

"That’s right, it’s Xiaolu!" The security guard yelled, pleading with the mechanical agents at his side, "Can we leave now?"

Ruan Feifei and Yu Wei were stunned and in alarm. Subconsciously, they turned around only to see four muscular men in black suits entering the passageway. Hearing the security guard, they instantly reached into their waists, pulled out their guns, and started firing at them while sprinting forward rapidly.

"Run!" Tang Zheng, without looking back, knew they had encountered trouble. He pushed Xiaolu in front of him, ready to use her as a human shield if needed.

Gunshots echoed, and the bullets ricocheted off the walls, creating a shower of debris. Yu Wei and the delusional teenager crouched down, focusing only on escaping and unable to assist in any way.

Ruan Feifei started shooting with her M4A1, but the bullets hitting the mechanical agents only left bullet holes in them and inflicted no real damage. She promptly released her ability.

As the female host stretched out her right hand, a barrel-sized blue electric arc shot out from her fingertips. It quickly coursed through the passageway, hitting the mechanical agents, their artificial skin instantly dehydrated due to the high temperatures, and black smoke started coming out, and their wigs stood upright.

However, they were still not destroyed, their speed only slightly reduced.

Tang Zheng pulled out two hand grenades, bit off the pin with his teeth and threw them behind him without looking back. Seeing the grenade flying over his head, Yu Wei was nearly scared to death. What if it had been thrown in the wrong direction by mistake?

The explosions filled the passageway with fire instantly. The blast wave blew against Yu Wei’s body, causing his clothes and hair to flutter, but the mechanical agents were still unaffected, charging out of the flames.

The delusional teenager was grazed by a bullet, but his protective clothing saved his life.

"You’re too slow; I’ll carry you!" Tang Zheng was unhappy with the speed and quickly took two strides, surpassing Xiaolu and told her to jump on his back.

"Huh?" Xiaolu was embarrassed, she had not fully comprehended what was happening yet.

"We don’t have time, get on quickly." Tang Zheng urged, while pulling out a flash grenade and throwing it behind them, then prepared his thunderstorm rifle.

Looking at Tang Zheng’s broad back, Xiaolu hesitated for a moment before jumping onto his back. But Tang Zheng suddenly sped up, almost threw her off, and she instinctively reached around his neck.

"Take care of yourself!" Tang Zheng yelled. He wasn’t interested in worrying about the well-being of the two newbies. However, he had to look out to some extent for Ruan Feifei and Pang Meiqin. He quickly overtook Mei Jueye because the poor fellow had just survived one round and his physical condition was still far from optimal.

Tang Zheng kept running in the unseemly posture which made Xiaolu extremely uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare to let go, fearing she might be left behind.

"Hold on tight!" Tang Zheng held onto Xiaolu’s thigh tightly with one hand while his attention was entirely focused on losing the pursuers behind him. Holding the gun in his other hand, he aimed and shot at the main entrance in front of them, blew it apart with a thunderball, and then ran out.

"Ah! Stop, the third floor is ahead!" Seeing that Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping, Tang Lu quickly realized the situation and immediately panicked, but it was too late. Tang Zheng had already leaped over the railing.

"Ahh!" The rapidly approaching concrete floor beneath scared the daylights out of Xiaolu, and she screamed.

"Hold on tight!" Tang Zheng shouted as they hit the ground.

"Are you crazy?" Xiaolu complained, feeling the wind against her face due to the high-speed run. She had turned pale, not only clutching his neck but also tightly wrapped her white silk stocking-clad legs around his waist.
