The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 177 - 177 177 Control the Scene

177: Chapter 177: Control the Scene 177: Chapter 177: Control the Scene “If you’re a man, repeat what you just said!” At the Dongfang Department Store’s jewelry hall on the first floor, the woman, wrapped tightly in her clothes, stared at Lin Fei and said each word deliberately.

Lin Fei’s earlier “Excuse me, sir?” was indeed too terrifying; probably no woman could remain rational after hearing it.

In fact, the term “auntie” alone was frightening enough for any woman.

The fact that the woman, wrapped tightly in her clothes, had not rushed up to fight Lin Fei already demonstrated her good upbringing.

Indeed, if Lin Fei had removed the woman’s sunglasses at that moment, he would have seen her eyes almost spouting flames.

“Lady, I’m truly sorry, I—”

Before Lin Fei could respond, the sales clerk, realizing her own rudeness for laughing earlier, couldn’t help but want to apologize to the woman.

“It has nothing to do with you!” Clearly, the tightly wrapped woman had not completely lost her rationale, “Wrap up the necklace for me; I don’t want to say it a third time!”

Her authoritative statement was enough to reveal her extraordinary identity.

However, this very statement annoyed Lin Fei greatly.

He, Lin the official, hadn’t left yet, and this woman clearly did not regard him, Lin the official, in any way.

“Didn’t your parents teach you about first come, first served?!”

“If you’re a man, repeat what you just said!”

“Are you deaf?!”

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Just as Lin Fei and the tightly wrapped woman were on the verge of a confrontation, a series of events occurred at the department store and suddenly, everyone was stunned.

“Be careful!”

“You bastard, you—”

The man who they had just hated to the core,

Even Gu Lanzi, with her tough mind forged from years of battling in the bureaucratic world, was starting to lose her composure.

“If you dare utter another pointless word, beware I’ll—”

In order to save this woman, Lin Fei himself got grazed by a stray bullet, leaving a streak of blood on his arm, yet she showed not the slightest bit of gratitude and was extremely uncooperative.

Where was the patience for Lin Fei to be polite with her now?

He had intended to teach the woman a lesson so she would quiet down, but when Lin Fei noticed her charming phoenix eyes and part of her jade-like face, uncovered by the sunglasses, he found himself unable to finish his words.

This woman, whom Lin Fei had previously mocked as “Sir” and “Auntie,” revealed only part of her face, but Lin Fei was fairly certain that the woman beneath him was a rare beauty.

Her eyes were like calm autumnal water, rippling slightly, with a straight and elegant nose and snow-white skin.

Lin Fei suddenly understood why the woman had not remained calm when he mocked her.

Any mature woman of considerable beauty would lose her composure if called “auntie” or even had her gender questioned.

Bang!

Bang!

Crack!

Crack!

The assailants did not care about Lin Fei and Gu Lanzi’s situation and sprayed bullets wildly, as if it cost them nothing.

Some sales clerks and customers at the jewelry hall on the first floor couldn’t find cover in time.

Various jewelry counters throughout the entire first floor became their special targets.

In an instant, a symphony of death was interwoven.

The assailants spread out to search for any surviving sales clerks and customers, and began to take control of the scene.

“Whimper—whimper—”

Lin Fei was contemplating what to do next,

“If you don’t want to die, don’t move.

If you dare not cooperate, I don’t mind handing you over to those guys, so they can teach you how to obey.”

Originally, Lin Fei wanted to take advantage of the fact that the robbers had not fully taken control and slip into the elevator, to lie in wait above and catch these guys by surprise.

But Gu Lanzi just wouldn’t cooperate, even though Lin Fei had, after all, saved her life.

This was to prevent her from rashly running out, getting shot, or being captured by the robbers as a hostage.

If it were just ordinary thieves, Lin Fei would not be so cautious.

He would simply cover his face with cloth and finish them all off.

However, it was clear they were no ordinary thieves.

From the moment they entered the department store and disregarded all kinds of precious jewelry in the jewelry hall on the first floor, it was apparent they were different.

After entering Dongfang Department Store, they took less than three minutes to control the entire jewelry hall on the first floor.

During this time, none of them spoke a word, communicating only through gestures.

Their actions were in sync, decisive and clean—a quality not evident in ordinary robbers.

Had it just been that, Lin Fei might not have been entirely without options against them.

Had it been during these dozen or so robbers’ initial entry into the department store, Lin Fei had many ways to ensure they died at the entrance.
