When the neon lights first came on, the blue cafe was brightly lit and the business was booming. From time to time, fashionable men and women came in and out, both Chinese and foreigners. In the provocative music, they drank coffee, ate western food, and laughed.
Chu Ran stood in front of the counter, wiping the coffee cup in his hand, but his thoughts had already flown away.
She thought of the news paper she saw on the school newspaper column, which used an entire page to report the bombing of the Jinchao Hotel, and also included photos of the hotel's exterior after the explosion.
At that time, some students commented on the sidelines: "Recently, it seems to be a bit uneasy. There have been gun battles and explosions, and they have never stopped."
She couldn't maintain her superficial composure at all, she hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and rushed to the vicinity of the Jinchao Hotel, looking at the room where the explosion occurred from a distance, the horror was still there and full of danger.
This scene made her tremble with fear, and her heart was full of fear.
Although she and Jiang Yuelou just met by chance and will never meet again in the future, she still finds it hard to accept that a living life just disappeared like this.
Fortunately, the fruit vendor beside her gave her a glimmer of hope. According to the street vendor, there seemed to be no casualties in the bombing, because no police were seen carrying the dead or injured out.
However, Jiang Yuelou was still injured, and was trying to hide, so he didn't know what would happen.
"Hey, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and deliver the steak to the guests."
Chu Ran suddenly came to her senses, saw her colleague waving his hand in front of her eyes, blushed, turned hurriedly, picked up the delivery plate from the small window connected to the kitchen, and walked towards the table No. 3 displayed on the menu.
On the way, she adjusted her facial expression, showed a standard smile, put the steak on the dining table, lifted the lid, and the aroma immediately overflowed.
"Sir, your steak."
The male guest was in his thirties, with an obscene look all over his body. At this moment, he raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes lit up when he saw Chu, and his eyes moved from her face to her chest bewitched.
Chu Ran felt uncomfortable and disgusted by him, and hurriedly put away the plate and lid to leave, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the male guest.
"Sister, it's my first time eating western food and I don't know how to cut it. Can you cut it for me?" He teased and moved his hands.
Chu Ran memorized the waiter's rules by heart, and she would never refuse a reasonable request from a customer without a reason, so she nodded politely, deliberately distanced herself with the excuse of inconvenient movement, picked up the knife and fork, and cut the steak gracefully and skillfully.
As a result, the male guest stared at Chu Ran's face and body even more undisguisedly, wishing to get in through the gaps in his clothes.
After watching for a while, he became more courageous, and stretched out his hand unscrupulously, trying to touch Chu Ran's thigh.
Chu Ran pretended not to know, and passed the steak-cut knife towards the male guest, just to block his intentions, and the salty pig's hand hit the blade directly, and a trace of bright red blood immediately appeared.
"Sir, are you okay?" Chu Ran asked pretending to be panicked.
The male customer failed to mop up the oil and even scratched his hand. He suddenly became angry and threw the napkin on the table, deliberately asking for trouble: "What kind of broken coffee shop, how do you serve it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't expect you to reach out your hand suddenly." Chu Ran immediately apologized neither humble nor overbearing.
However, she didn't expect the male guest to be so shameless that he held her wrist: "It's fine if you want me to accept the apology, just sit on my lap and feed me."
Such a rude request made Chu Ran, who didn't want to cause trouble, restrain his smirk, his face turned cold, and his eyes became even colder: "Please respect yourself."
This sentence annoyed the male guest, he stood up with an ugly face, picked up the western food knife, pointed at Chu Ran and cursed: "Stinky bitch, don't be shameless. I am willing to talk to you, that's because I think highly of you..."
Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to scratch Chu Ran's cheek, the next moment, a figure came over, folded the male guest's hand, the knife fell to the ground, and there was a scream of pain.
It was only then that Chu Ran noticed that it was an old man with silver hair who helped her, and he restrained the male guest so that he could not move.
"Thank you sir, I'm fine." She quickly thanked her and hoped that the matter would not become a big deal, otherwise she might lose the job.
Fortunately, the old man didn't want to get entangled with the wretched person, so he loosened his restraint, nodded at Chu Ran, then turned and walked to his seat.
Unexpectedly, the male guest lost face and became angry from embarrassment. He bent down to pick up the table knife, and chased after him with a grim expression to talk to the old man.
As soon as he took two steps, he saw several burly men standing up and staring at him. Some even lifted the corners of their clothes so that he could see the guns pinned to their waists.
He was immediately stunned, the knife fell to the ground again, and he was already scared out of the door.
Other guests in the restaurant pointed at the movement here, but soon returned to normal.
Chu Ran didn't see the actions of the strong men, but she thought that the deterrent power of the old man helped her, so she smiled at the old man who was already seated, and the other party responded kindly.
This scene fell into Sun Yongren's eyes. He disguised himself as a shopkeeper and wandered in front of the coffee shop. In the end, he didn't dare to be exposed to the sight of those people, and hurried back to the car parked not far away.
Jiang Yuelou and Song Rong were sitting in the car watching blankly.
"We only have three, and there are so many of them, it's hard to handle." Sun Yongren took off the small shelf hanging from his body, with a dignified expression. He was too busy paying attention to Lucas, but he didn't notice that the waiter beside him was actually Chu Ran.
Jiang Yuelou noticed, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. In his sight, there were Lucas who was eating leisurely, and Chu Ran who was attentive in service, and then started the car. "There's always another way."
His other method is Chen Yuzhi.
Chen Yuzhi, who came back from the doctor's visit, suddenly found someone following him. He felt vigilant, walked quickly to a corner, hugged the medicine box tightly, and just waited for the thief who was following him to approach, then smashed it hard.
It's just that Jiang Yuelou didn't give him this chance, as if he knew it in advance, he held the oncoming medicine box with one hand.
Chen Yuzhi looked at him in surprise, took back the medicine box and did not speak, because after knowing his symptoms, he always felt a little subtle. Jiang Yuelou was also silent, and the two stalemate for a moment, but it was Chen Yuzhi who spoke first.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, looking for you."
Chen Yuzhi looked at Jiang Yuelou, waiting for his next words.
"Go to the Lanse Cafe and invite Miss Cheng to come over tomorrow." Jiang Yuelou asked bluntly.
After hearing his words, Chen Yuzhi was very surprised and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Yuelou pondered for a moment, and wanted to speak more tactfully, but couldn't find the right words, so he had to tell the truth: "Dr. Chen, I know we have many different opinions, but the crime is hard for me, Jiang Yuelou. Miss Cheng is right My actions below are helpful, but it is not convenient for me to show up at the coffee shop."
After hearing his words, Chen Yuzhi became even more silent, and started to walk forward.
Jiang Yuelou was a little frustrated by his reaction, sighed, and her tone softened: "I said, can you..."
"I'll help you." Chen Yuzhi didn't look back, but interrupted him.
Jiang Yuelou was taken aback for a moment, standing where he was before he could react. He heard Chen Yuzhi say again: "Sometimes, you may be right."
Jiang Yuelou didn't know how such a stubborn person like him figured it out, smiled, and followed him unhurriedly, and the two walked to the clinic door one after the other.
"Oh, that's right. Yesterday... sorry. Can I stay here for another night? Sun Yongren's snoring, I really can't bear it." Jiang Yuelou scratched his head, obviously a little embarrassed by his poor excuse.
Chen Yuzhi sighed softly, opened the door, and motioned for him to enter.
The moonlight shone into the clinic, Jiang Yuelou was lying on the bed, and Chen Yuzhi was sleeping on the sofa, neither of them fell asleep.
Jiang Yuelou stared at the stack of missing person notices by the bed, and asked softly, "Thinking of your sister?"
The person next to him didn't answer.
"I don't know how to persuade you, but I will do my best to help you find her back. She is asleep." After speaking, he turned over and faced the wall, breathing steadily and long.
After a while, Chen Yuzhi turned his head to look at his back, and nodded silently.
On the second day, according to the agreement with Jiang Yuelou, Chen Yuzhi walked slowly to the door of the coffee shop, looked up at the dazzling signboard in the sun, and walked in.
He looked around the store for a week, but he didn't find Chu Ran, so he asked a waiter closest to him. But the waiter said that there was no employee surnamed Cheng in the store, which surprised him. He was about to leave suspiciously, but at the revolving door, he bumped into Chu Ran who happened to enter.
After standing still while holding the door, Chu Ran looked at him in surprise: "Doctor Chen?"
"Miss Cheng!"
The waiter who answered Chen Yuzhi's question just came over, looked at Chu Ran in confusion and said, "You are Miss Cheng? But your name is Chu Ran, what's the situation?"
Chen Yuzhi looked at Chu Ran unexpectedly, his face flushed red, and a trace of annoyance flashed across her face.
The two walked outside the door of the coffee shop and sat down in a hidden place surrounded by green plants among the outdoor seats.
Chen Yuzhi frowned and said, "So, Chu Ran is your real name, Cheng Xiuzhi, you lied to him on purpose?"
Chu Ran naturally knew who this "he" was, and his eyes flickered and he refused to answer, which was a tacit consent.
"It's not good to lie." Chen Yuzhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. He was silent for a while, and choked out such a sentence.
"It depends on what the purpose is. If it's cheating, of course it's not good. If it's for self-protection, why not?" Chu Ran couldn't help but defend herself.
"Self-preservation?"
Chu Ran nodded as a matter of course: "You seem to have known him for some time. You should be very clear about how dangerous he is."
Chen Yuzhi's expression froze, Jiang Yuelou who almost killed someone in a rage flashed in his mind.
"I'm just an ordinary female student. I accidentally saved him once. That's enough. I don't want to get involved in any more dangers."
He heard Chu Ran's worry and nodded: "I understand you, Miss Cheng."
Chu Ran smiled shyly, and the two reached a tacit consensus. However, Chen Yuzhi agreed to Jiang Yuelou, but still bit the bullet and said to her: "He invites you to go."
"Do you know what's the specific matter?" Chu Ran frowned, and although she asked, her expression looked extremely reluctant.
Chen Yuzhi actually didn't know why Jiang Yuelou was looking for Chu Ran, so he shook his head and said flatly: "Miss Cheng, in the past, I would say that if you didn't want to, I would reject him. But today, I still want you to go see him."
Chu Ran thought for a moment, inexplicably remembering his impulsive rush to the Jinchao Hotel to find out the news before, and agreed: "Okay, I will go over and explain it to him."
Jiang Yuelou originally thought that Chen Yuzhi would spend a lot of time to invite Chu Ran, but he heard a knock on the door in the afternoon, and when she opened the door, it was indeed her.
"Long time no see." He was in a much better condition than when he was at her house, holding the door with one hand in a cynical and unrestrained manner.
Chu Ran took a look around when he entered the door, and saw that the room was simple and small, with only Jiang Yuelou alone.
"What do you want from me?" She didn't want to talk to him, so she asked directly.
How could Jiang Yuelou not understand her thoughts, smiled, turned around and picked up a wallet from the table and handed it over. "You fell in the hotel that night."
Chu Ran took it in a daze and flipped through it, and it turned out to be the one he lost, so he quickly thanked him.
"Your wallet saved my life by accident. I should say thank you."
This sentence surprised Chu Ran. After thinking about it, he thought of the Jinchao Hotel bombing and pretended to be calm: "It's your fate, it's not my wallet, it could be something else."
She saw Jiang Yuelou laughing at herself: "It's not that fate is big, I'm fate."
She silently agreed in her heart, since she met him by accident, he did not know how many dangers he has experienced, and walked through the gate of hell again and again. Joke with her here.
She didn't want to get too familiar with him, so she raised the wallet in her hand and changed the subject: "That's why you came to me?"
Jiang Yuelou shook her head, motioning her to turn her gaze to the photo wall. There were photos of various scenes posted on it, and the protagonists were all similar people, including the Lanse Cafe where she worked, which puzzled her very much.
"Have you seen this man?" Jiang Yuelou raised his hand and clicked on a photo in the middle, on which an old man with silver hair was walking into the Blue Cafe.
Chu Ran took a closer look and blurted out: "It's him?"
"You know him?" This time, Jiang Yuelou was a little surprised.
Chu Ran shook her head: "It's not considered acquaintance, he just helped me last night. Who is he?"
Jiang Yuelou kept paying attention to Chu Ran's expression, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he slowly said, "I'm not sure, but he is most likely Lucas, the leader of the underworld in Hong Kong."
Chu Ran turned to look at Jiang Yuelou in disbelief: "It's impossible. How can such a person who can help a waiter whom he has never met before in danger be a member of the underworld?"
As she spoke, she found another photo of Lucas on the photo wall, took it off, and said, "What's more, he is wearing the clothes of a bishop. Westerners' belief in religion is deeply rooted in their bones. I don't believe it's him."
Jiang Yuelou spread her hands, thinking that Chu Ran was so innocent and cute.
"But the fact is that all the evidence shows that he is probably Lucas, the Lucas who tried to kill me several times. And what I need you to do is to help me get close to him and confirm his identity."
"I reject."
Chu Ran's arrogance was simply exchanged for Jiang Yuelou's dominance. He supported the table with both hands, trapped Chu Ran, and stared seriously into her eyes: "You must accept."
At that moment, Chu Ran was extremely angry, pushed him away desperately, and shouted: "Why do you ask others to do things according to your wishes? I am a human being, I have my own thoughts, my behavior, I decide for myself." After she finished speaking, she no longer wanted to talk to Jiang Yuelou, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Unfortunately, before she could take a few steps, Jiang Yuelou grabbed her arm, then turned around forcefully, and pressed her against the door again, still locked between his strong arms. The distance between the two is very close, if an outsider breaks in, they will definitely think that they agree with each other and are talking to each other.
But the reality is that Chu Ran stepped hard on Jiang Yuelou's foot, and Jiang Yuelou seemed to have predicted it in advance, and moved away quickly, letting her step on the ground. She didn't give up, raised her knee again, and slammed into Jiang Yuelou's crotch, but was quickly blocked by another hand.
She failed in the two raids, so she could only stare at the culprit angrily, and said angrily: "If time can be turned back, I will definitely not save you that night."
"Unfortunately, time can only go forward."
"I just want to live a safe and stable life. How can you let me go?"
Jiang Yuelou didn't answer her, but turned to look at Lucas on the photo wall, attracting her to look back too.
She instantly understood what he meant, gritted her teeth, and asked, "As long as I help you with this favor, you will never pester me again?"
Jiang Yuelou nodded briskly.
"Okay, I promise you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Yuelou raised the corner of her mouth and showed a successful smile, which made her teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
At night, Hong Kong is full of luxury and luxury, and it is a city that never sleeps.
Chu Ran mixed the coffee absently, stirring up brown ripples. She hasn't figured out how to complete the task Jiang Yuelou gave her, and at some point even hoped that Lucas would never come to the Lanse Coffee Shop.
It's just that this is just her whimsy.
Laughing self-deprecatingly, when he turned his head and saw the revolving door opened, Lucas walked in with a delicate cane and walked to the place he frequented.
Chu Ran immediately put down what she was doing, picked up a menu, took a few deep breaths, put on a decent smile, and then walked towards Lucas.
She carefully placed the menu in front of Lucas, and said hello in a low voice: "Hi, it's a pleasure to serve you."
Lucas looked up, obviously impressed by her, with a friendly smile on his face: "It's you."
Chu Ran nodded, taking the opportunity to thank him for helping her drive away the wretched man last night.
Lucas seemed to be in a good mood, and instead of rushing to order food, he chatted with her a few more words.
While coping with it with a smile, she carefully observed Lucas' fingers. Jiang Yuelou said that if the index finger and ring finger are not on a parallel line, and the middle finger has obvious calluses, it is the trace left by playing with guns for a long time. This is the first step for her to confirm for him.
But right now, Lucas' fingers are almost the same as what he described.
Chu Ran looked away without a trace, and repeated Lucas's order politely and respectfully: "Okay, a cup of clear coffee, a steak of medium rare. Just wait a moment, and it will be delivered to you soon."
She returned to the bar with the menu, her expression was not as calm as before, and she looked out of the corner of her eye with a little worry. She knew that Jiang Yuelou and his men were hiding somewhere outside the coffee shop, watching everything she and Lucas did.
Soon, Lucas's meals were all ready, and Chu Ran put them one by one on the tray, and matched it with a vase with yellow roses.
"Sir, please have a meal." She put down the steak and coffee politely, and finally placed the vase on the dining table, and continued: "Sir, yellow roses represent good wishes, and I hope they can bring good luck to your dinner." Feeling."
Lucas was ready to eat with a knife and fork, and thanked her with a smile when he heard her say this.
This scene was clearly seen by Jiang Yuelou and others who were waiting opposite the coffee shop.
Sun Yongren couldn't help yelling: "Section Chief, look quickly, it's Huang Meigui."
This yellow rose was exactly what Jiang Yuelou and Chu Ran had agreed upon, representing the secret code for the first step of verification.
"If the second step of verification is also successful, act tonight." He calmly gave instructions to Sun Yongren and Song Rong.
None of them noticed that Chen Yuzhi was also in the department store not far away, watching the movement in the Lanse Cafe through the glass window. Although he didn't ask Jiang Yuelou what he wanted Chu Ran to do or how to help him, he was still a little worried about Chu Ran's safety.
In the restaurant, Chu Ran was about to leave after putting down the vase, but was stopped by Lucas unexpectedly.
"Miss, although yellow roses can make people feel happy, it's a bit quieter to eat alone. Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"
Chu Ran was stunned. She didn't expect Lucas to make such a request, and said embarrassingly: "Sir, it's my working time now, maybe... it's not convenient."
Gentleman Lucas nodded: "Sorry to trouble you."
Chu Ran nodded apologetically and left, her pace was not as steady as before, and her heart was pounding.
She made an excuse with the foreman and stood at the door to breathe, hesitating and tangled in her heart. She couldn't believe that such a polite and thoughtful gentleman could be the murderous and criminal leader Lucas? Although his fingers are suspicious, it is normal for him to play with guns for many years in order to protect himself in troubled times! Could it be that Jiang Yuelou made a mistake
Thinking of this, she raised her head in a panic, glanced at the car parked across the street, and wanted to ask. Jiang Yuelou looked at her through the car window, and drew the curtains after a while.
Soon, the car started and sped away in front of her. She stopped immediately, stared in astonishment at the direction the car was leaving, and slowly regained her composure.
This scene fell into Chen Yuzhi's eyes, he thought about it, and walked slowly towards the Lanse Cafe.
Chu Ran still leaned against the wall to rest, with one hand in her pocket, fiddled with the things in the pocket unconsciously, her heart was still tangled.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lucas has already gone to the front desk to check out, and she is not allowed to continue thinking. She was heartbroken, no longer hesitated, and took out the things in her pocket.
It was a cigarette case. She shook out a cigarette from it, lit it tremblingly, and then held the cigarette between her slender fingers. The light from the cigarette butt was particularly obvious in the night.
Jiang Yuelou's car circled around and changed to a small alley where the Lanse Cafe could be monitored, quietly dormant in the darkness.
Song Rong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw Chu Ran lighting a cigarette from a distance, and said happily, "Miss Cheng has started the second step."
Jiang Yuelou stared at Chu Ran's position, without saying a word, but she thought in her heart, don't be as stupid as before, and almost expose their position.
At this point, Lucas had already settled the bill and was ready to come out. Chu Ran took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and waited for his arrival.
What she didn't expect was that Chen Yuzhi walked towards the door from another direction first, saw her smoking at the door, and greeted her quite unexpectedly.
"Chen... Dr. Chen?" Chu Ran panicked after hearing the sound.
Seeing her unnatural appearance, Chen Yuzhi hurriedly smiled and said, "I've heard that the coffee in your shop is good. I happened to pass by, so I came to try it."
While thinking about Lucas who might come out at any time, Chu Ran smiled awkwardly: "We're closing soon, let's go tomorrow... I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow!"
"It's open until one o'clock in the middle of the night. It's only eight o'clock now. Why is it closing soon? Or Ms. Chu, are you feeling unwell?" Chen Yuzhi asked, as if he didn't hear her refusal, pointing to the business hours on the signboard .
Chu Ran became more rigid at that moment, not knowing whether to admit or deny. She heard Chen Yuzhi say again: "Don't smoke when you're sick, it's not good for your health."
Before she could respond, Lucas had already walked out of the revolving door, noticed the movement on her side, and stopped.
Jiang Yuelou in the distance was extremely nervous, holding the gun tightly in his hand, ready to act at any time. Sun Yongren, who was sitting in the back seat, spat and complained that Chen Yuzhi had come to make trouble, but he had no time to pay attention.
He saw Chu Ran trying to maintain his composure, said goodbye to Lucas with a smile, then crushed the cigarette on the wall to extinguish it, and quietly hid the hand holding the cigarette butt behind him.
Lucas was about to leave, but he stopped suddenly. His expression was serious for a moment, but he soon relaxed again, still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, and turned around.
Jiang Yuelou couldn't hear what he said to Chu Ran, but Chu Ran heard it, but secretly groaned in his heart.
"My driver hasn't arrived yet, Miss, can I have one?"
Chu Ran was extremely nervous, but calmed down, and nodded calmly: "Of course. But, I only have women's cigarettes, I hope you don't mind."
"No problem."
Chu Ran took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, handed it to Lucas, took out the lighter, and lit the cigarette for Lucas skillfully.
While doing these things, she said to Chen Yuzhi: "Doctor Chen, why don't you go in and sit down for a while, and everything you drink will be charged to my account."
Just now, Chen Yuzhi has been watching the interaction between Chu Ran and Lucas, knowing that it is inconvenient for him to stay here, so he left wisely, but he chose to sit outside in the open air because of the noisy voices in the coffee shop superior.
He flipped through the menu casually, as if he didn't care about Chu Ran's situation, but he was actually thinking about how to keep Chu Ran safe from danger when she was in danger.
At this time, Lucas had already taken a puff of cigarette, and closed his eyes as if he was feeling something carefully.
Chu Ran watched his reaction without blinking, and recalled the conversation with Jiang Yuelou again in his mind.
"The second step is to smoke in front of him. I rolled a little bit of opium in the shredded tobacco. The amount is very small and will not cause harm to you. Ordinary people can't smell it, but people who have handled opium for a long time can tell it."
"It's too risky. What should I do after he smells it?"
"Go back to the coffee shop immediately. I will find a chance to kill him within half a minute. When his subordinates are chasing me, you take the opportunity to leave. In the future, never go back."
Chu Ran thought of some bloody and cruel scenes, flustered, and didn't dare to stay any longer, so she nodded slightly to Lucas: "Sir, I should go back to work."
She was about to leave, but was blocked by Lucas' stick out.
"There are no guests tonight, so there should be nothing to do. Miss, your cigarettes are very good. Where do you usually buy them?"
This question made Chu Ran speechless for a while, and quickly smiled, intending to evade it: "It's just a small workshop's handmade cigarettes. You must look down on someone with an identity like yours, sir."
"No, I think it's very good. Miss, can you introduce me."
Chu Ran's blood almost flowed backwards. Jiang Yuelou's plan did not make up such a detailed rhetoric, so he had to bite the bullet and deal with it. It's just that before she could say anything, Chen Yuzhi had already walked over, looked at Lucas with an unfriendly expression, and helped her out: "Sir, since this lady is inconvenient, don't make things difficult for her."
Lucas raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Chen Yuzhi: "Oh? Are you an acquaintance with this lady?"
"is a friend."
"We don't know each other well."
The two spoke in unison.
Chen Yuzhi looked at Chu Ran, surprised by her answer. And Chu Ran also knew that his words were full of loopholes, and his expression was even more unnatural.
All this fell into Lucas' eyes, and he smiled meaningfully.
On the street outside the alley, several cars drove over, blocking Jiang Yuelou's view. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately got out of the car with a gun and ran to Lanse Cafe, Sun Yongren and Song Rong decisively caught up.
He saw several people getting in and out of those cars, and under the signal of Lucas, they forcibly took Chu Ran and Chen Yu into the car.
Chen Yuzhi didn't sit still, he suddenly shot down the person facing him. Chu Ran was in complete chaos at that moment, holding her head and screaming. Fortunately, Chen Yuzhi pulled her up and ran away, but there was a gangster behind him.
With a bang, Jiang Yuelou disconnected the first shot and shot the gangster to the ground, giving Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran time to escape. It's a pity that there are too many gangsters. If you get rid of one, another one will rush forward. It is very difficult to escape.
Jiang Yuelou fired again, but this time he lost his aim and only hit the car body.
Two gunshots made the gangsters react and began to fight back with guns. They even threatened Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran with guns, blocking their desire to continue resisting and fleeing.
Not far away, sirens sounded.
Lucas, who had already sat in the car, frowned and ordered, "Go!"
The gangsters were in a hurry, and they only had time to stuff Chen Yuzhi into the doctor's bed, while Chu Ran was pushed and fell heavily to the ground.
"Sun Yongren, take Miss Cheng away!" Jiang Yuelou yelled, and Song Rong quickly got into his car and chased in the direction Lucas left.
Sun Yongren helped Chu Ran up, and said eagerly: "Miss Cheng, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, the police are coming soon, follow me."
Chu Ran glanced at the corpse on the ground in horror, struggled to get up, staggered and left quickly behind Sun Yongren.
The entrance of the Lanse Coffee Shop was surrounded by the police just like the Jinchao Hotel last time, but all they could arrest was the corpse that could no longer speak.
Song Rong was racing on the street, following closely behind Lucas' convoy. There are especially many forks on this road. Their car did not turn on the lights, and they followed the last car in the convoy far away.
Just after turning left, an intersection appeared ahead, and Lucas' convoy ahead had lost track, and they were the only car driving on the entire street. He became suspicious, stepped on the brakes to slow down the car, and gradually slid to the intersection.
At the same time, Jiang Yuelou became vigilant tacitly, and his hand holding the gun tightened and tightened.
Suddenly, several light beams lit up and shone on their car, dazzled their eyes for a moment.
Jiang Yuelou knew that in the left and right directions of the intersection, a car with lights on was slowly approaching them, intending to block their way.
"Oops, I fell for it." Song Rong exclaimed, and quickly wanted to reverse the car, but it was too late, and a car with lights on behind the car drove up, blocking the only way out.
On the quiet and deserted street, their car was completely surrounded by three cars, and the light beams all shone on the body, as bright as day.
Immediately afterwards, people got out of the three cars one after another, and dozens of people surrounded them with guns, knives and other weapons with fierce faces.
"In three seconds, I will go east, you will go west, and then we will be in the middle." Jiang Yuelou calmly watched the situation outside, and quickly deployed.
"one."
The gangsters continued to shrink the encirclement, pointing guns at the car one after another.
"two."
The underworld leader standing at the front made a gesture, and everyone shot at the car one after another. The bullets hit the car body one by one, some penetrated the car shell, and some were embedded in the car shell.
Jiang Yuelou and Song Rong crouched under the car seat at the moment the gunfire rang out. The bullets flew past their heads. One bullet even grazed Jiang Yuelou's cheek, leaving a bloodstain. Even so, he was still calm and composed, without panic.
They were very calm, crouching quietly, motionless.
The gunfire outside gradually became thinner and stopped after a while.
The gangsters outside the car stared at Jiang Yuelou's car. The car's shell had been riddled with holes and was on the verge of being scrapped. The little boss waved his hand, motioning his subordinates to step forward and check.
"three."
The moment Jiang Yuelou exited, he and Song Rong got up almost at the same time and fired in two directions. Ten seconds later, they switched directions at the same time and continued to shoot. Their marksmanship was extremely accurate, and they shot one at a time, and the gangsters who had no time to react were shot and fell down one after another.
Soon, other underworld gangsters reacted, or retreated to find the pillars on both sides of the street as cover; or rolled away on the spot to escape the shooting range; safe place.
For a while, the situation turned slightly.
But at this critical moment, Song Rong's gun ran out of bullets, and the pistol made a rattling sound.
While staring outside, Jiang Yuelou threw his other pistol to Song Rong.
He weighed the bullet box and found that there were not many left, so he set his eyes on the dead gangsters outside the car. They lay sprawled on the ground, still clutching their guns, with unused ammunition boxes protruding from some pockets.
After the ceasefire between Jiang Yuelou and Song Rong, the gangsters once again tentatively moved forward and gradually moved closer. This time, they no longer had the arrogance they had before, and each of them pointed their guns at Jiang Yuelou's car tremblingly as if they were facing an enemy.
"Cover me." Jiang Yuelou said, and actually opened the car door, using the broken car door as cover, reached for the gun of the gangster who was closest to him.
At the same time, Song Rong opened fire with a gun to the outside, so that the gangsters did not dare to show their heads.
The little leader hiding behind the pillar noticed Jiang Yuelou's movements and quickly shot him with a gun.
Song Rong was keenly aware of his actions. A bullet flew over and flew past the pillar, splashing sparks, and the little boss was forced to retreat temporarily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yuelou successfully got the gun in his hand, and dragged the man's arm forward vigorously, and the bullet box was also within reach.
"How is the car?"
Song Rong checked quickly and replied, "Barely able to drive."
"Walk."
Song Rong was no longer interested in fighting, and stepped on the accelerator decisively, the car quickly backed up, knocked over the car behind, and drove left and right all the way. The gangsters didn't have time to react, chased them out and shot at the car, but it was already too late.
They also wanted to get in the car to chase after them, but Jiang Yuelou didn't give them a chance at all. He aimed his gun at the fuel tanks on several cars and pulled the trigger without delay.
There was a bang explosion, and a flame flashed at the intersection. Song Rong suddenly turned the car around, leaving the flames behind.
At this time, Chen Yuzhi didn't know what happened to Jiang Yuelou and the others. He was taken to Shengde Hall by Lucas and forced to sit on the first row of benches.
There were only the two of them in the church, separated by a corridor, Lucas was bowing his head, closing his eyes, and praying devoutly with his hands clasped together. There are many candles flickering around, bathing everything in the church in soft light.
Chen Yuzhi looked around cautiously, trying to find a way to escape. The door they came in was guarded by Lucas' right-hand man, Xiaofeng. The side door seemed to be unlocked, revealing a narrow crack.
He stared at the side door thinking for a moment, and while Lucas was still praying with his eyes closed, he suddenly got up and took a step towards the side door.
Lucas was unmoved by such a big movement, and continued to maintain a prayer posture.
Soon, Chen Yuzhi knew the reason for Lucas' calmness. As soon as he ran out of the side door, he stopped, looking at the gangsters standing densely on both sides of the corridor, feeling desperate. These people stared at him coldly, all holding pistols in their hands, and the muzzles of each black hole were all pointing in his direction.
At this time, Lucas's prayer ended. He opened his eyes calmly, and looked at Chen Yuzhi with a smile: "Little friend, the night is too cold, you'd better come back."
Chen Yuzhi tried his best to stabilize his emotions, closed the door pretending to be calm, walked slowly back to the bench and sat down, ready to be tortured by Lucas.
"That lady, is that your girlfriend?"
Chen Yuzhi replied coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Lucas smiled: "Child, did no one teach you to be polite to elders?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yuzhi like a ghost. Chen Yu subconsciously raised his foot and kicked it out, and the two fought in the church. It's just that Chen Yuzhi didn't expect that, within a few rounds, he was at a disadvantage, and Lucas' old hands tightly grabbed his slender neck.
"From now on, be more polite to your elders." Lucas watched Chen Yuzhi struggle hard, his face flushed, and he felt a bit of cruel pleasure in his heart. When he had seen enough of such a ferocious expression, he let go of his hand and continued to ask: "Who is that man who chased after me and shot at me?"
Chen Yuzhi covered his neck with his hands, gasping for fresh air. Hearing his question, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were cold and sharp: "I don't know you."
In his eyes, there was a fatherly smile of Lucas, and then he suddenly punched him on the throat. Caught off guard, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, his vision lost, and he fell into darkness.
