Chapter 55: Gangland Grudges Part 10

  Lu Zhen'er was knocked unconscious, and when she came to, she found herself in an old warehouse. The dim yellow light above her head cast a faint glow, and through the window, she could see that it had already darkened outside.

  Her body was unable to move, tightly bound to the chair, surrounded by several menacing men standing or sitting around her, spewing filthy language from their mouths, some even holding knives and guns. This was her first real encounter with what it meant to be a gangster, not like the gentle Long Xiao who presented himself to her every day.

  "Who are you? Please let me go!" She was really scared, Long Xiao wasn't by her side, and she didn't know when her dad and brother would find her. Although she knew it was useless, she still opened her mouth to beg, hoping they still had a conscience, and also because her mouth hadn't been sealed shut yet.

  "Hey, little girl's awake! Letting you go is out of the question, wouldn't that make all our brothers' hard work go to waste?" Lei Jun, Lei Bang's second-in-command, smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

  "You want what, if you want money, you can call my dad, he'll give it to you." She thought beautifully, there were no tracking devices in the police station, once the signal was connected, her location could be determined quickly, and her father, brother, and their colleagues could rescue her just like they had rescued countless hostages before.

  pia——！

  "You stinky bitch, don't think I don't know what your family does, a whole family of deadbeats!" How could they possibly kidnap someone without investigating beforehand? So Lu Zhen'er couldn't deceive them. Thinking that she was trying to trick them into letting her call for help, he felt even more infuriated, and with a few loud slaps, he gave her several more ear-slaps, instantly swelling up her delicate little face like a pig's head.

  Lu Zhen'er had never suffered such humiliation before, and was beaten until she was dizzy. It took her a while to recover, and then she started wailing and cursing my family, saying we would not let them off easily, that they were a bunch of bastards who would definitely go to hell. The people from Lei's side were annoyed, and someone stuffed one of their socks into her mouth, making her feel nauseous and want to vomit but unable to, unable to make any sound as she cried, only silently shedding tears, looking utterly miserable.

  Su Luo came alone to the warehouse as they had requested.

  She wore a loose black windbreaker to conceal the two guns and several clips on her waist, with a dagger inserted in her boots for emergency use.

  Lei Bang's people didn't search her body and knew she wouldn't come empty-handed, this is a Jianghu habit, but they also didn't expect her to bring so much.

  "Lei Bangzhu, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you still doing well?" She strolled up to him with an air of leisure.

  "Taofu, Taofu. The prince is indeed becoming more and more extraordinary." Lei Jun's words were actually sincere, if it weren't for her identity and methods, he would really want to get close to such a woman.

  "You're overpraising me." with an attitude of neither arrogance nor humility.

  "This is a heartfelt advice from an old man. Who among the Thunder Clan doesn't admire the Crown Prince's elegance? Seeing such a person being difficult with you, they must have been trying to drive a wedge between you and the Dragon Clan Master's feelings, which is why they couldn't help but take action. The Crown Prince won't blame us for meddling in other people's business, will he?"

  "It's nothing, I'm afraid our humble abode has made you laugh. Thank you for your kind intentions, brothers, and I'll definitely treat everyone to a feast another day." Su Luo bowed his hands to the crowd, and they all said the prince was being too polite.

  The surface work is done, Su Luo spoke up and said: "I'll take that person away first, there are still matters to attend to in the gang, farewell everyone." She stepped forward, making a gesture to untie the rope on Lu Zhen'er's body. If they agreed, it would be best; if not, she could only fight hard.

  "Slow down." Lei Jun blocked her way, and indeed, it wasn't that easy.

  "Brothers, you've worked so hard to bring this person here, the prince should just take care of it right here and let everyone see your skills." He handed over a Swiss army knife, indicating for Su Luo to make her move, his face still smiling, but his tone had no room for negotiation.

  "Alright." Su Luo casually took it, not even looking at it, but the blade seemed to have magic as it shuttled through his fingers, leaving the people of Lei Bang staring in amazement with their eyes wide and dizzy.

  "This woman is really scary! I've seen people spin pens and lighters, but rarely have I seen someone spin a knife like it's a toy. Doesn't she worry about cutting off her hand? Those guys who were eyeing her up earlier are now all feeling a chill run down their spines. Women are everywhere, but it's best to steer clear of this kind."

  Su Luo walked up to Lu Zhan's front, the knife tip touching her forehead, then along her eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, lips, chin inch by inch downwards: "Which part should I cut first?" A troubled look on his face.

  Lu Zhen'er was really scared, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. But this time, she didn't even dare to struggle or breathe, because she could feel the cold metal aura on her skin, and if she moved any closer or Su Luo's hand shook slightly, she would definitely see blood.

  Everyone in Lei's gang couldn't help but swallow their saliva and unconsciously kept a distance from this terrifying woman, lest they be mistakenly hurt.

  It's finally here!

  Su Luo's knife flashed in the light, and Lu Zhen'er and some of the more timid ones closed their eyes.

  Just now when she was teasing people, she had already seen the rope binding her pulse clearly, so as soon as she went down, Lu Zhen'er regained her freedom.

  Before everyone could react, she had already pulled up Lu Zhen'er, threw out the Swiss Army knife and the chair under her, knocked down the two people closest to her, and bought herself a moment of breathing space.

  "MD, dare to cheat me? Take down these two traitors!" Lei Jun was furious and his men also took out their weapons and launched an attack.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Behind her was the sound of gunfire, but she didn't look back. Half-dragging Lu Zhen'er, she took a deep breath and hid behind a pillar 7-8 meters away as fast as possible, pulled out her gun, and counterattacked.

  Someone in Lei's group was hit and everyone frantically looked for cover.

  Taking advantage of this brief moment, she went "pa pa pa" and extinguished all the lights on her head, leaving only one lamp above Lei's head.

  Now they couldn't see her clearly, but she could still see them clearly.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  She wrapped Lu Zhen'er in her left arm, covering her mouth to prevent her from making a sound. With her right hand, she continuously pulled the trigger, advancing while retreating to the next pillar according to the positions she had memorized earlier.

  At this point, the distance between the two sides was finally pulled to tens of meters, and it was temporarily impossible to be surrounded. She let out a slight breath.

  Lei Bao and the others weren't stupid either, quickly reacting to extinguish the lights on their own heads, lest they become Su Luo's target and get hit one by one. This time it was thoroughly pitch black. Although they couldn't see clearly, they increased their firepower in the direction of the incoming bullets.

  Su Luo's advantage was that when she entered, the entire warehouse layout was clearly imprinted in her mind. Her senses were also extremely keen, and the darkness hardly posed any obstacles for her, instead making it easier for her to hide and escape.

  But her weakness was also obvious, first with Lu Zhen'er being such a big drag, she was almost scared to death and couldn't even walk properly, only able to be dragged along step by step. And like a sloth, tightly clinging to her waist, pulling apart and then pouncing back on, head still leaning against her chest, as awkward as can be, seriously affecting her performance, otherwise she could have directly fired both guns and blown the Lei Gang people to smithereens.

  Another weakness is being outnumbered and outgunned.

  She had taken out a few people by surprise earlier, but now that the lights were out, it wasn't so easy. Fortunately, her opponent couldn't see her either and was afraid of hurting their own people, so they didn't dare to separate, otherwise she would have been at an even greater disadvantage.

  The two sides went back and forth like this. Su Luo struggled forward with difficulty, inching closer to the door, where someone would be waiting for her outside.

  The two of them hid behind a pillar, which was the last one, and not far away was the warehouse gate.

  Although it was only a few meters, to successfully escape, one had to rush through the dense hail of bullets, ensuring not to be hit, while pulling open the door latch and pushing open the heavy gate, in order to have a glimmer of hope.

  Su Luo's body was already drenched in sweat, but she didn't have time to wipe it off.

  Lu Zhen'er still held her tightly, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, could they make it out alive? It seemed so difficult.

  But she doesn't seem to be that scared anymore. This woman, who once made her tremble with fear and took the place of her fiancée, doesn't appear as tall and powerful as a man, but unexpectedly makes her feel safe and at ease. This sense of security is something she has only felt from her father and brother in the past, not even Ah Yu can give it to her, being with him always made her worried and fearful.

  She must take me out alive! She told herself.

  But... she must really dislike me, I took her Ah-Xiang and also dragged her into this kind of danger. What to do, really don't want her to dislike me, how can I make her not dislike me?

  She thought of this and was in a panic again.

  At this time, Su Luo suddenly interrupted her random thoughts and whispered in her ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Listen, I'll cover for you and distract their attention later. When I shout one, two, three, we'll rush to the door together. You're responsible for opening the door, and I'll take care of the back. Can you do it? If not, we'll both die here."

  "Mm." Su Luo's hand was still covering her mouth, she hummed a response with her nose and nodded. Since another woman could do it, why couldn't she? She had come to rescue her, she couldn't drag her down, and only by living on would she be able to see her father and brothers again, as well as Ah Shu. If she couldn't even manage that, he would look down on her even more.

  At this moment, Lu Zhen'er was filled with unprecedented courage and determination, and she was also very glad that Su Luo could trust her and entrust such an important matter to her.

  "Alright, the door is in our seven o'clock direction, about eight meters away, roughly at your waist height. Make sure to move quickly later." Su Luo released her and took out another handgun from his waist.

  "Good." Although the voice was not loud, it was decisive and firm.

  "Then hurry up and let me go, you just run, I'll take care of the rest."

  Lu Zhen'er reluctantly lowered her hands that were clasped around her waist, making a final effort.

  "One, two, three, go!" Su Luo gave the order and Lu Zhen'er took off running. Although her feet still felt a bit soft, as if she was stepping on cotton, but in her heart, she was firm.

  Su Luo didn't slack off either, both hands firing simultaneously, forcing the remaining people from Lei's side to temporarily hide behind pillars, occasionally popping out to fire a shot before quickly retreating.

  She was running backwards, but her speed wasn't slow at all, and she kept close to Lu Zhen'er.

  Lu Zhen'er finally felt the door bolt, which was covered in rust, as thick as an arm and extremely heavy.

  "Ah!" She exerted all her strength, ignoring the pain in her hand, gritted her teeth and pulled hard, finally opening the door bolt.

  Su Luo heard the sound of the iron gate moving behind him and was overjoyed. He fired several shots in succession, not bothering to fight back, and hastily retreated with the others.
