Chapter 1423: Beautiful Scenery Along the Way
Sure enough, a series of heavy footsteps echoed from the top of the stairs. A few seconds later, twenty black-clad thugs appeared in the hallway on the first floor above the staircase. Zheng Xueyun sneaked a glance at him. Sure enough, twenty tall men in black clothes walked into the downstairs. All in all, there were about fifty black-clad thugs. Two groups of them slowly pulled out various weapons from behind, including short swords, steel pipes, iron rods, baseball bats, and golf clubs.
Zheng Xueyun didn’t say a word, just took off her sunglasses and looked at the group of tall men on the first floor. Shortly, a man appeared behind the group of black-clad men on the first floor of the staircase. It was Zuo Muyang, smiling at Zheng Xueyun. He extended his right hand to greet her: "Hi, Xueyun, haven’t seen you in years. You’re getting more and more beautiful!"
Zheng Xueyun turned back and said, "Is Mr. Zuo going to chop me?"
Zuo Muyang nodded helplessly: "According to the current situation, it’s true, but things could change. Xueyun, you’re not yet married, I’m not yet married. As long as you agree to marry me, we will be family. How can family kill each other? Right?"
Zheng Xueyun frowned: "Where is my father?"
Zuo Muyang sighed: "Uncle Zheng was taken by Wu Feng’s men. This could be more dangerous than good. After all, the grudges you’ve accumulated over the years are quite heavy!"
Zheng Xueyun clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "You calculated well, Mr. Zuo!"
Zuo Muyang chuckled: "How about it, Xueyun, think about it?"
Zheng Xueyun suddenly laughed, raised her right hand, and pointed at Zuo Muyang: "Zuo Muyang, who do you think you are? You’re not even worthy of marrying me!"
Zuo Muyang wasn’t angry, still smiling: "Ah, such a beautiful girl, like a fairy. It’s a pity Xueyun can’t see me that way, I won’t force Xueyun all the way!"
As Zuo Muyang spoke, he waved his hand. Two groups of black-clad men upstairs and downstairs successively wielded their weapons and slowly forced Zheng Xueyun into a corner.
The two men under Zheng Xueyun’s command guarded her closely. One of them whispered, "Miss, we’ll cover you. Later, we’ll use ourselves as shields to help you rush downstairs. As long as you reach the car, there’s a chance to escape!"
What did Zheng Xueyun want to say? Qingyun Gang’s men, armed, charged into the building. The two of Zheng Xueyun’s men rushed her downstairs, pulling out a fruit knife from their pockets. They held the knife tightly in their right hands, shielding her head with the other hand, facing the crowd, acting as shields as they pushed through.
Soon, the crowd pounded against the two like raindrops. They had barely hit five or six men before falling into a pool of blood. Then, the group of black-clad men on the first floor rushed down. Fearlessly, Zheng Xueyun stabbed a black-clad thug in the abdomen with her knife. She herself was also stabbed by the short knives of three other large men. Her right leg was pierced by a big guy’s thrust, while a baseball bat struck her, sending her to her knees in pain. The big guy in front of her showed no mercy, brandishing his baton, intending to strike her directly.
"Wait a minute!" a man behind Zuo Muyang halted the scene, causing everyone, including Zuo Muyang, to look at him in suspicion.
The man smiled: "Mr. Zuo, isn’t it a pity for such a beautiful woman to just die like this? There’s a drug popular in the market now. They say that after taking it, people experience hallucinations. Since Miss Zheng is unwilling to marry Mr. Zuo, why not feed her this drug and raise her as a slave? What do you think, Mr. Zuo?"
Zuo Muyang looked at Zheng Xueyun: "Is there such a drug?"
"Of course, how could I dare deceive Mr. Zuo?"
"Great. Capture her alive, Xueyun. Don’t blame me. I gave you a chance. Haha!"
"Hahaha!" Other black-clad thugs laughed too.
"Zuo Muyang, you beast, you must die!" Zheng Xueyun, trembling, clutched her right leg with her right hand, and pressed her left hand tightly on another knife wound, glaring fiercely at Zuo Muyang.
Zuo Muyang shrugged indifferently: "It’s fine. The road is a mix; whose hands are clean of blood? How many end well? It’s just a matter of sooner or later. Even if I can’t die easily, won’t you regret not enjoying your lifetime, Xueyun?"
"Hahaha!" The other black-clad thugs laughed too.
Zheng Xueyun’s face twisted with anger. In terms of arguing, men often have an innate advantage over women. Zheng Xueyun looked seriously at the knife in her hand, her face showing resolve.
Zuo Muyang waved his hand: "Capture her!"
Several big guys around Zheng Xueyun bent down to grab her. At this moment, brakes screeched in the underground parking lot outside the staircase. An Audi barreled into the stairs. The big guys below didn’t care about Zheng Xueyun anymore. One by one, they headed for the stairs. The big guys on the stairs didn’t know what was happening. The two teams began to crowd together. Just as they were pushing against each other.
The person jumping in and out of the Audi was Jiang Guangrong. Seeing Jiang Guangrong, Zuo Muyang couldn’t help but burst into anger: "Crazy, brothers, cut him down!"
Jiang Guangrong helped Zheng Xueyun up, firing two shots into the crowd. Two men dropped into pools of blood. Jiang Guangrong brandished his handgun, constantly moving. He seemed to be searching for a target. The people targeted by the gun instinctively ducked to avoid it.
Jiang Guangrong crouched down, picked up Zheng Xueyun, placed her on the car roof, then quickly climbed up too.
Zuo Muyang picked up an iron rod, striking it hard against the railing: "He’s doing it for me? That guy’s gun has a lot of bullets. Whoever dares to chase me, I’ll club to death. Whoever can capture Zheng Xueyun alive, I’ll reward them with five million!"
Facing the threat of death and the temptation of a huge reward, the black-clad thugs armed themselves crazily and charged toward the Audi.
By now, Zheng Xueyun had already crawled to the car’s rear. Jiang Guangrong aimed and fired a shot at the people ahead. Although Jiang Guangrong’s shooting method wasn’t as abnormal as Tian Jue or Miyamoto Keiko, it was accurate enough to explode heads at this distance. The big guy in front didn’t even have time to cry out before falling directly into the pool of blood, but the other black-clad thugs remained relentless.
Jiang Guangrong rolled on top of the car, jumped to the ground beside the rear of the car, grabbed Zheng Xueyun, and quickly ran off with her on his back.
"Follow! Capture Zheng Xueyun alive!" The other black-clad thugs climbed onto the car roof, charging out the stairs.
Jiang Guangrong turned, firing several more shots. A few black-clad thugs fell. Jiang Guangrong held tight to Zheng Xueyun’s thigh with his left arm: "Miss, I’m so angry!"
Zheng Xueyun laughed, but the smile was a bit pale due to the wound’s pain.
"Miss, where is your car?" Jiang Guangrong shouted
"Keep going straight ahead!"
After running more than ten steps, Jiang Guangrong suddenly found several black-clad thugs had charged in front of him. These black-clad men were obviously arranged by the Qingyun Gang. Jiang Guangrong didn’t engage, running rightwards. Jiang Guangrong gave Zheng Xueyun’s body a shake, wrapping her arm tightly around his neck: "You can’t go there, I’ll just have to find another way, Miss, are you okay?"
Zheng Xueyun held Jiang Guangrong’s neck tightly, tilting her head, left cheek pressing against his back: "I knew you would come to save me!"
Jiang Guangrong turned, shooting again. Desperately, he ran toward the signs on the ground leading to the underground parking lot’s C exit. Slightly out of breath, Jiang Guangrong muttered: "Where do you get your confidence?"
"Haha, I don’t know. Even when knocked over, my eyes were always on the door. I knew, sooner or later, you would show up, and you’d come to save me!" Zheng Xueyun, mouth full of blood, pressed her left cheek harder against Jiang Guangrong’s back of the head, "You know, you’re like a little thief, a god descending to earth. Really handsome!"
