Chapter 1203 - 1203 A Gunshot
1203 A Gunshot
Zhao Hengshan became serious and looked at the screen again.
On it, two dots of light flickered. One was fixed in place while the other was rapidly approaching.
He said in a deep voice, “Go ahead,”
After a moment, he said, “Alright, I got it.”
He was about to return the phone to Gu Tinglan when he heard the sound of the rain and the sound of a car coming from the other end of the phone. He suddenly realized something.
“Professor Shen, are you going to Xi Hill now?!”
He stared at the screen and frowned.
“It’s impossible for a car to drive through that small road, and if you want to take the main road, it’ll be too late. We’ve already sent people to rescue her. It’s too dangerous! You should come back!”
Shen Zhijin’s tone of voice did not fluctuate at all. Instead, it was terrifyingly calm.
“I’m going to bring her home.”
“You…”
Zhao Hengshan still wanted to persuade him otherwise.
There were already too many people involved in this matter. If Shen Zhijin was added to the mix now and something happened, then–
“Chief Zhao.”
Gu Tinglan suddenly interrupted him.
Zhao Hengshan looked at him and saw the usually gentle and calm fifth master of the Gu family with a rare look of determination on his face.
“If he wants to go, don’t stop him.”
At this time, no one had the right to stop him.
He was going to find Shen Li.
He was going to bring his daughter home.
Zhao Hengshan paused for a moment, then returned the phone to Gu Tinglan.
He took out his walkie-talkie and said, “The target’s location is still at the original coordinates. Other than that winding hilly road, there’s another shortcut we can take to outflank them. However, I’m not sure if Shi Yang has caught up with them or if he’s armed. To avoid alerting the enemy, we must be careful.”
A deep and solemn voice of a young man came through, “Received.”
…
Dark clouds had gathered, and the sky was gloomy.
It was almost impossible to tell what time it was.
Yu Yu was kneeling on the ground as she leaned against the car. Blood was still flowing from her body, and her hair was messily stuck to her face, making her look even paler.
Her vision was getting blurrier and blurrier, and she did not even have the strength to move.
Shi Yang looked at her with some pity.
“See, I told you, she’ll die a painful death like this.”
Shen Li’s hands clenched tightly.
“Shi Yang, you’re the least qualified person to say such things!”
“It doesn’t matter if I have the right or not. What’s important is that I’m here, isn’t it? Didn’t you go to the appointment alone today, completely disregarding the danger and using yourself as bait, just for this moment?”
She had wanted to find out the truth about what had happened back then. She had wanted to lure him into taking action and hear him admit to everything.
From the moment he had received Song Miao’s call, Shi Yang had understood her plan.
She had gotten her wish.
At first, he had been annoyed, but he soon got over it. Since that was the case, it would be a happy ending to be able to send her off in person.
He looked at her face and suddenly asked, “Actually, I’ve always been curious. Ever since you found out about your family background… Didn’t you feel any guilt towards her? ”
“Do you know that in order to protect you, she held you tightly in her arms until she died?”
Shen Li’s heart began to ache and her whole body trembled.
Shi Yang said in a soft voice, “She was so afraid of pain. She was so delicate, but it was only at that time that she would not let go. She was so afraid that you’d be in pain. So… why did you not die there?”
The smile on his face gradually cooled.
“She’s done so much for you, yet you didn’t even accompany her. Instead, you’ve lived alone until today. Don’t you think you’re letting her down?”
He did not care about Shen Zhijin. In fact, he even understood that being alive was the greatest torture to Shen Zhijin.
However, Shen Li was different.
“So, even though I don’t really like you, I can bear with it on account of how much she loves you. But there’s one thing… You should have been by her side nineteen years ago, do you understand?”
He changed the umbrella to another hand as he continued to look at Shen Li. His voice was as gentle as ever, but his eyes were cold.
“Although it’s a little late now, this is the way things should be. It’s not too late to correct it.”
…
The black sports car made another turn.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in front of them!
Lu Huaiyu’s heart skipped a beat… They were here!
He immediately looked over, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt something clench his heart!
The young girl whom he had placed in his heart, so afraid that she would suffer a little pain or suffer a little grievance, was now standing alone in the rain.
The rain was pouring heavily and she was completely drenched. Her clothes seemed to have been torn in several places.
She was in a very sorry state.
Not far from her, a car had hit a tree. The car was badly dented and the door was wide open.
The puddles on the ground were stained with blood.
Lu Huaiyu heard the sound of his rationality collapsing.
Countless images overlapped in front of his eyes. His heart was beating rapidly, and he could even hear the roar of his blood.
It almost tore him apart.
The corners of his eyes suddenly turned red. Without any hesitation, he swerved to the left and stepped on the gas pedal!
Just as Shi Yang finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind him!
Shen Li’s pupils contracted!
Shi Yang instinctively turned around, but he only had time to see a black figure approaching him quickly. Then, he felt an extremely heavy force coming at him!
Bang–!
The black sports car crashed into the silver-gray car that was parked by the side of the road!
With a dull bang, the silver-gray car was instantly thrown off by the huge force!
Shi Yang, who was standing next to the door, was the first to be hit!
Perhaps it was because Lu Huaiyu had not turned on the lights, or perhaps it was because the sound of the storm was too loud, or perhaps it was because he was immersed in his past and his mind was wandering, but in that instant, he had not noticed Lu Huaiyu’s arrival from behind him.
The two sides were so close! Lu Huaiyu’s car was also driving extremely fast!
Shi Yang did not have any time to react and he was sent flying!
His umbrella fell to the ground.
The silver-gray car’s tail was badly dented. The black sports car was too fast. With an emergency brake, it drifted away and was about to rush off the edge of the road!
The cliff was right beside them!
“Lu Huaiyu!”
Shen Li’s mind went blank!
The screeching sound of the tires screeching against the ground could be heard. The black sports car finally came to a stop, and half of the car was already suspended in the air!
He had almost fallen off the cliff!
She quickly ran in that direction!
At the next moment, a tall and handsome figure quickly got out of the car.
His hair and clothes were already wet from the rain, making his brows and eyes look even darker, and the air around him was bone-chilling.
Shen Li had never felt a distance seem so far away.
Her voice was extremely hoarse.
“He has a gun!”
Lu Huaiyu suddenly turned around and found himself staring down the barrel of a gun as Shi Yang struggled to get up.
He pulled Shen Li behind him and pointed his gun forward! His intent to kill was obvious!
Shen Li’s heart suddenly felt empty!
In the heavy rain, in the mountains, a gunshot was heard!
Bang–!
