Chapter 89

  He Yuesong buried his head deeply in Shu Mu's arms, and the intermittent and frantic wailing lasted for two or three minutes before Shu Mu came back to his senses. He lightly wrapped his arms around He Yuesong's back and gently stroked his spine.

  "Yes, it's you... the one by my side, it's you..." His gaze gradually cleared up from its daze, and after a moment of muttering to himself, he suddenly let out a low chuckle. "Xiao Xiao, do you still want to kill Li Jin?"

  He Yuesong only felt a pang in his heart, at this moment, calling back Shu Mu's heart was more important than anything else. Upon hearing this, he slowly lifted his head, using tear-filled eyes to gaze at his loved one: "Don't think about it."

  "Shuang, if you really want to kill him, you can just have someone follow him and finish him off when he's in a car accident and hasn't died yet. Or choose another method, quietly get rid of him. Why do you need to show up so openly and let him know who to hate even after he becomes a ghost?"

  He Yuesong stared at Shu Mu in a daze, the temperature of his fingertips carrying a hint of coolness, causing him to shiver unconsciously.

  "I... I don't want him to die so easily, besides, since he's going to die anyway, even if he saw who I am, what's the difference?" He Yuesong turned his head and took a look at Li Jin, who had been silent and still since just now, as if that one gesture had exhausted all his energy. "A Shu, then what do we do now?"

  "We want...to send him back."

  Suburbs, highway, black Buick sedan speeding at 100 kilometers per hour.

  Li Jin's hands and feet were tightly bound, and he was laid horizontally on the back seat of the car. In the front seat, the driver appeared to be less than thirty years old, and had not spoken a word since Li Jin got in. The passenger seat was occupied by a man in a black suit, who Li Jin tried to look at by propping up his head, but only saw that he was tight-lipped and expressionless, with a murderous gaze. Moreover, the man was extremely vigilant, and upon noticing that Li Jin was looking at him, he glared over and growled, "What are you looking at? Want a punch in the face?"

  Li Jin was having a terrible day, getting beaten and scolded, and to make matters worse, he fell into the hands of his arch-nemesis He Er and his enemy Shu Mu. Now, even breathing hurt from head to toe, making him feel like he was going to pass out. He thought that nothing could be more unbearable for him. So when the other party threatened him, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he summoned up a bit of energy and asked: "Where... are you taking me?"

  It's obvious, there won't be an answer.

  Li Jin lay on the car seat, but the scenery outside the window was clear. The passing roads were all trees, and it took a long time to see the shadow of a tall building in the distance, which should be in the suburbs. He had lived in this city for over ten years, and based on that fleeting glimpse of the high-rise building, he could tell that this was not the road to the city.

  So what Shu Mu said about "sending him back" wasn't sending him back to Yi Ge Company, nor was it sending him back to Li Yi Heng.

  Then where did they want to take him?

  He was getting more and more frightened, wondering if he had just escaped from the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair. He had died once before and was really lucky to be alive, as evidenced by his battered body still clinging to life. But now he was at the mercy of others, with his hands and feet bound, and someone sharpening a knife nearby, what could he do, unless...

  Li Jing's eyes turned fierce, and when he was pushed to the limit, he could always do something that others couldn't predict. He thought to himself, since he had already been in a car accident once, he wasn't afraid of a second one. The man in the passenger seat had a gun holstered at his waist, which happened to be sticking out and was close to him, so later...

  "Brother, look!" Suddenly, the driver shouted and turned the steering wheel sharply to the right. The car swerved across two lanes on the empty suburban road and scraped against the guardrail. Lei Jin was already off balance, and with this sudden swerve, he hadn't even had time to process what was happening before his body flew forward, slamming into the back of the seat. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat.

  "What the hell are you doing, driving like that!" The man known as Fifth Brother cursed loudly, and then his furious expression suddenly froze on his face.

  Li Jin endured the pain, half-kneeling between the seats, raised her head and followed the man's gaze to the back of the car.

  A fleet of black limousines was approaching them in a majestic manner, and in an instant, they were already close at hand.

  "He... they are..." The other party had at least ten cars, lined up one after another on the road, blocking the entire street. The driver had never seen such a formation before and suddenly became tongue-tied.

  "It's after us." The man in the passenger seat had seen a lot, they were already greatly speeding themselves, and the other ten or so cars were closely following behind, their speed could only be faster than theirs, except for coming after them, there was no other reason. "Turn left on the steering wheel, accelerate, shake them off."

  The man calmly directed the driver, and the driver was at a loss, doing everything as instructed. One foot on the accelerator, they indeed left the other party far behind.

  "Them... who are they?" The driver asked hastily, still shaken after narrowly escaping.

  "How did I know!" the man exclaimed in exasperation, "Either we're here to save this kid or rob him! Dammit! How did those bastards catch up with us again?! Speed up, speed up!"

  The driver floored it, and the high-performance car took off again. But this time, the cars that had been easily shaken off before were now stuck to their tail like glue. The driver put the pedal to the metal, and the engine roared in protest, but even so, they couldn't shake the pursuing car.

  Are these cars here to rescue him?

  Li Jin hid his body behind the seat, ensuring he could observe the situation without being discovered by the two men in front. He secretly paid attention to the driver and the man's movements and expressions, but in his heart, it was like a stormy sea surface, with towering waves surging up.

  Are these cars sent by Li Yi Heng?

  He never doubted that Li Yiheng would come to his rescue, and among the many reasons that supported him not to faint, there was a very important one, which was that he was waiting for Li Yiheng.

  He had to keep his eyes open, his will clear, waiting for him to come and rescue himself, rather than letting the pain put him into a coma, or even drag him into the long sleep of death, so that he could never again open his eyes and see Li Yiheng.

  So he's finally here now?

  His heart was pounding violently in his chest, and the strength he had lost returned to Li Jin's body with this glimmer of hope. He bit his lip tightly, and in the darkness, he smiled silently.

  It won't be worse than it is now anyway, Li Yi Heng, just let me take a gamble this once.

  I bet it's you who came!

  "Damn it! Damn it!" The man in the passenger seat muttered incessantly, seemingly also inexperienced with such a thrilling and crazy driving scene, his face turned pale. He had to seek help, he thought to himself, swallowing hard twice, as if making up his mind to reach into his pocket for his phone...

  In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

  A strong gust of wind suddenly came from behind him, and the man subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but didn't expect that this was just a feint. The action of raising his hand completely exposed the gun at his waist, and Li Jin's hands, which had already reached in front of his opponent, suddenly turned around, and in the blink of an eye, the dark muzzle was pointing at the man's forehead.

  "This guy..." The man had long known that he was badly hurt, so he didn't take him seriously at all. However, this carelessness gave Lei Jin an opportunity to counterattack. At this moment, he was furious and thought to himself: "Lei Jin is covered in injuries, and just taking the gun away from him would be enough to make him pant for half a day. Moreover, ordinary people who hold a gun for the first time are scared to death and don't even have time to think about using it, let alone dare to pull the trigger." Therefore, even if he was being pointed at with a gun, he wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, his face twitched, and he leaned forward with his knees on the seat, his five fingers curled into an eerie arc, as if he could crush Lei Jin's skull without using any force...

  Bang!

  A gunshot rang out.

  The driver was so frightened that he trembled all over, forgot to shout, opened his mouth wide, and grasped the steering wheel tightly with his hands, as if he wanted to squeeze it into his flesh.

  The man was shot in the ribs, with a large amount of fresh blood gushing out. The impact of the bullet slammed him hard into his seat, leaving him without even the strength to sit up.

  "Slow down, pull over." Li Jin knelt on the ground, the muzzle of his gun steadily pointing at the man's forehead. His voice was not loud, weakened by exhaustion, and even sounded a bit feeble, but to the driver, it was as terrifying as a death threat: "Pull over, or else the next one will be you!"

  The car that had been speeding wildly finally slowed down and came to a stop.

  At the same time, the fleet that had been pursuing them relentlessly from behind also formed a semicircle, tightly surrounding them.

  Among the vehicles that arrived first, a figure wearing a brown jacket was the first to get out, followed by others who got out of other car doors one after another.

  Li Yiheng, Li Yiheng...

  Li Jin turned the gun head, pointing at the outside through the glass. The sound of his heartbeat was covered by the inner call, he stared at those unfriendly faces approaching slowly, and suddenly found that every time he encountered difficulties, he subconsciously yearned to see that familiar figure.

  Li Yiheng, is it really you...

  More and more people gathered around, their faces stern, with guns in their bosoms...

  Li Jin's hands began to tremble involuntarily.

  If it wasn't him, if it wasn't him...

  "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please wait a minute! There was just a gunshot, they have guns in their hands, please don't go over there for now!"

  Suddenly, a somewhat sharp female voice broke the silence inside and outside the car. Li Jin's eardrum was as if it had been violently pried open, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

  Her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

  Li Yiheng wore the black woolen coat he liked, and the cold wind blew up the hem of his long gown, making him look even more dusty. Lin Xin's face was red with anxiety or coldness as she repeatedly called out to stop Li Yiheng from approaching the vehicle that had fired shots. Even people around them stretched out their hands to try to stop Li Yiheng from taking dangerous steps.

  But his footsteps were so firm, even stubborn. He came running towards Li Jin without stopping, and Li Jin looked at him through the tea-colored glass, just like looking at a beam of hopeful light that was piercing through the desperate gloom, slowly illuminating himself.

  The car door was opened, and Li Yiheng stood under the sunlight, his voice trembling and suppressed, softly calling out to him: "Li Jin..."

  The gun in Li Jin's hand fell like this.

  The next second, he was tightly held in Li Yiheng's arms.

  All tension, worry and fear were gone. Before the severe pain took over his body, he slowly sank into a drowsy dreamland in Li Yiheng's arms.
