After a while, the sounds of gunshots in front of the house stopped, or perhaps their guns might have been jammed. In short, there was no noise, and their eardrums weren’t used to silence.
Gu Nianzhi slowly poked her head out from behind the fallen cabinet, took a quick glance, and then retreated.
The door had a fist-sized round hole in it, but it had still not been pushed open.
That was because the iron rod that Gu Nianzhi inserted into the latch behind the door was too powerful.
The people outside seemed to be confused as to why the beaten-down door had not already collapsed.
But they did not dare to rush in.
The people inside had guns and were also good marksmen.
One of the men had already died just then, so the second person was afraid to make a wrong move.
After a round of bullets, he turned around and leaned against the door to reload the gun.
Bam–!
A shot sounded from a distance.
A bloody bullet hole suddenly appeared in the man’s forehead.
He fell down with his eyes open.
Both of those men were elite Tokyo Secret Servicemen from Japan. They were proficient in Chinese, but they lost their lives in New Delhi, India.
Their accomplices in the dark were dumbfounded, and after quickly shooting around, they crawled over and dragged the two bodies away.
Gu Nianzhi and Rong Mingxing waited in the room for a while and found that there was no movement outside.
Of course, the commotion on the streets not that far away and could still be heard, but there was no longer anyone continuing to harass them in front of the door…
Gu Nianzhi crawled out from behind the fallen cabinet and moved to the window.
Looking out through the cracks in the wooden slats of the window, she saw people crawling on the ground and dragging them away.
Gu Nianzhi knew that one person was shot by her, but how had the other died?
After thinking about it, she concluded that Huo Shaoheng or He Zhichu had done it.
Because they would protect her in the dark.
Just thinking about it made her feel revitalized and fearless.
She stood up from the ground, patted the dust from her body, and then stretched out her hand and said to Rong Mingxing, “Get up.”
Her voice was much softer.
Rong Mingxing originally didn’t want to accept Gu Nianzhi’s help, but she was so frightened that she lost her wits, and she couldn’t stand up on her own.
She had to hold Gu Nianzhi’s hand and slowly get up from the ground.
Her legs were sore, so Gu Nianzhi had to half-hold and half-hug her, and she brought her to sit behind the closet in the corner of the room.
That was currently the safest place in the whole warehouse.
But Gu Nianzhi also knew that they couldn’t stay there for long.
The other party already knew that she was there, and they had powerful firepower. Gu Nianzhi didn’t know what He Zhichu had planned, or whether the people they were waiting for would show up.
Sitting side by side on the ground behind the closet with Rong Mingxing, Gu Nianzhi rubbed the pistol. Her expression was gentle, and one wouldn’t have been able to tell that she was a person that had just killed with that gun.
Rong Mingxing tried to speak up several times before she said hoarsely, “…you believe me now, right?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I was wrong just now. My attitude wasn’t very good. But I can’t just rely on your words alone, and a video isn’t enough to make me completely believe what you say.”
Rong Mingxing was originally quite angry, but after hearing Gu Nianzhi’s words, she didn’t feel mad anymore.
She smiled bitterly. “You doubted me, but it’s simply human nature. If Special Assistant Yang didn’t show up to stop me at that time, and I had said this to Speaker Long, Speaker Long would have doubted me like you. And at that time, I didn’t even have this video.”
To make such an accusation without evidence, everyone would be suspicious.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and gazed at her in bewilderment. “…Actually, you didn’t need to come. Those people are not a threat.”
Rong Mingxing, “…”
Suddenly, she felt that Gu Nianzhi was still the same unbeatable Gu Nianzhi.
She glared at her. “How would I know that you had a gun in your hands! If I knew, I wouldn’t…”
She wouldn’t?
In reality, she still would have.
Because she didn’t know that Gu Nianzhi was already suspicious of the current situation.
Only when one is suspicious will one be cautious.
Gu Nianzhi understood what Rong Mingxing meant, and she felt warm inside.
She stretched out her hand to hold Rong Mingxing’s and found that she was still shaking, so she shook it hard. “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”
Rong Mingxing, “…”
Silently withdrawing her hand, she leaned back against the wall to breathe slowly.
…
The group of Japanese Tokyo Secret Service elites outside just finished a phone call with Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang was also surprised.
Why would Gu Nianzhi have a gun in her hands?!
And they couldn’t open the door…
How could this be?
Didn’t she want to come back?
Special Assistant Yang narrowed his eyes, looked around, and suddenly found that one of them seemed to be missing.
“Xiao Rong? Do any of you see Xiao Rong?”
Special Assistant Yang calmly asked about Rong Mingxing’s whereabouts, appearing very concerned about her.
Everyone was worried about their own safety or the safety of Speaker Long. No one cared about the life or death of a mere staff member in the embassy.
At that time, Special Assistant Yang grew anxious.
Could it be that Rong Mingxing had gone to find Gu Nianzhi?
If so, he would have no choice but to show no mercy.
Since Rong Mingxing refused to get on his boat, she would have to sink and drown herself…
With a sneer, Special Assistant Yang sent another text message to the elites of Tokyo’s Secret Service.
“There should be two people in the room. Gu Nianzhi and Rong Mingxing. Don’t let either of them leave there alive.”
…
People started to gather at the door of the abandoned hut where Gu Nianzhi and Rong Mingxing were.
Time was running out, and they had to end the battle there before the two security personnel arrived.
Since they weren’t coming out, they might as well die inside.
A Tokyo Secret Servicemen laid on the ground and shouted towards the broken door, “People inside, come out! I’ll give you three minutes to think about it. If you don’t come out in three minutes, we will immediately use a flamethrower!”
In order to prove that he wasn’t bluffing, the man beckoned to the people behind him.
Someone appeared with a flamethrower on his back and sprayed at a crooked-necked tree in front of the house. The big tree was immediately scorched, and smoke rose off the ashes.
But at that moment, the streets of New Delhi were full of smoke and fire, so it didn’t appear out of place.
When Rong Mingxing heard the word flamethrower, she felt so scared that she couldn’t say anything.
She leaned against the wall in a daze, her eyes glassy. She was completely stunned.
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t afraid, because she knew that He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng were secretly protecting her.
They had already killed one person just earlier. If they really dared to use a flamethrower, Gu Nianzhi was certain that the person himself would be buried in the flames before he got the chance to spray her hut.
“One minute left!”
They really started counting down outside.
Rong Mingxing snapped back to reality, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
She suddenly pushed Gu Nianzhi away, stumbled out from behind the fallen closet, and walked to the window.
Gu Nianzhi dared not raise her voice, so she lowered her voice and called her, saying, “Rong Mingxing! What are you doing?! Come back!”
Rong Mingxing leaned against the window and looked out just in time to see the man spraying trees with a flamethrower…
The raging fire and black smoke had a huge visual and psychological impact.
Rong Mingxing, who had never experienced something like this in her entire life, almost had a meltdown.
She looked back at Gu Nianzhi with a bitter smile. “Gu Nianzhi, this is what I owe you. If I go out, they will treat me like you. You hide here and wait for them to leave before going out.” Then, she walked to the door.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She quickly jumped out from behind the closet and hugged Rong Mingxing tightly. “You idiot! Do you know the consequences of going out? You don’t have any idea at all!”
“I know! That’s what I owe you!” Rong Mingxing insisted on going out to die. It was as if she were bewitched.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t let her go out, but she also knew that what Rong Mingxing said made sense.
The other party was willing to use a flamethrower, so if she stubbornly stayed here, she would be an idiot.
Since they were so far apart, there was no guarantee that He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng would come to rescue her in time.
He Zhichu also reminded her before that this might happen.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, pulled at Rong Mingxing, and said, “Don’t worry. If you insist on going out, then let’s go out together.”
“Huh? Go out together?! But they want you dead!”
“I think they seem to want you dead now, too.” Gu Nianzhi glanced at her. “You are now an important witness to Special Assistant Yang’s treason. They will kill you to silence you.”
Rong Mingxing trembled. “Really… really?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded very seriously. “How can this sort of thing be a joke?”
She was about to make new plans when she felt her phone suddenly vibrate.
She quickly pulled out her phone and opened it, then saw a text message.
“Get out of the cabin quickly. At nine o’clock position, there will be a Hummer SUV waiting to drive to the Taj Mahal.”
It was a message from He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi’s spirit lifted. “You don’t have to run out by yourself. Let’s go together!”
