Chapter 1249: 1249
Chapter 1249 Meeting The Enemy “What happened?! What happened?!”The middle-aged driver, who had been sleeping a moment ago, woke up from his dream and raised his head to shout .
“Get down! You useless thing! Get down! ” Vladimir was trying to turn the steering wheel while hiding under the seat, so he couldn’t see the road ahead clearly .
Fortunately, this was a one-way lane, so he didn’t have to worry about cars coming from the front .
Intending to slide to the empty space in front of the car seat to hide, the driver immediately turned his body to the side and unbuckled his seat belt .
But the other party seemed to have locked onto the person in the car .
The moment he moved, a bullet suddenly pierced through the front window, almost flying over the head of Vladimir, who was cowering, and hit the driver right in his back!
The middle-aged driver screamed and fell forward with a thud .
He was so big that the entire jeep shook with him .
When Gu Nianzhi heard the sound of the bullet piercing through the window and the middle-aged driver’s scream, her heart sank . Afraid that he would also be hit by the bullet, she quickly hugged Huo Shaoheng tightly and pulled him down with all her might .
If possible, she wished that she could take the bullet for Huo Shaoheng .
Huo Shaoheng had been covering for others and taking the bullet for others for so many years .
This time, he was protected by the girl he loved .
He felt warm inside . Although he was in a life-and-death situation where he was being hunted by a mysterious adversary, he didn’t panic at all .
He lowered his head and kissed Gu Nianzhi’s anxious face . He smiled and asked, “Do you want to see me perform a magic trick?”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Was Huo Shaoheng scared out of his wits?
Gu Nianzhi cursed him inside . She was about to tell him not to joke around when she heard Huo Shaoheng say to Vladimir, “Give me the pistol . ”
Vladimir: ” … ”
He still wanted to put up a fight, ” … I don’t have a pistol . I drove you guys out to have fun, so why would I bring a pistol?”
“Your partner has been shot . If you don’t want us to die together, you’d better give me a gun right now . ” Huo Shaoheng said bluntly .
Vladimir glared at the middle-aged driver next to him . Reluctantly, he took out a gun, then threw it towards the back seat and into Huo Shaoheng’s hand . He said stubbornly, “Don’t tell me you don’t have a gun with you!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled . “It’s in my suitcase . I need to assemble it, so I don’t have it with me . ”
With that, he pressed Gu Nianzhi down with one hand and made her lie on the car seat without being able to move . He quietly got up, raised his gun, and aimed it at the bullet hole in the car window . He narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He fired all twelve bullets from his pistol in one go .
His marksmanship was indeed amazing .
In the blink of an eye, there was no more movement in the Birch forest by the side of the road .
The bullets that had been shooting out a moment ago suddenly disappeared .
Vladimir took advantage of this moment to step on the accelerator and drive the jeep as fast as a race car .
They drove for the entire day in one go . The car was almost out of gas, so they slowed down and started to look for a gas station .
Huo Shaoheng finally let go .
Gu Nianzhi was pinned to the seat by him, and her arm was almost broken .
Later, the jeep drove like crazy . The bumpy ride felt like a cradle, and she fell asleep without realizing it .
When she woke up, it was dusk . The cold air poured in through the broken window, and Gu Nianzhi shivered .
She looked down and saw that Huo Shaoheng was still wearing his jacket .
She looked up and saw that Huo Shaoheng was only wearing a black tailored shirt . His close-fitting shirt made his body look chiseled and well-defined .
He was looking out the car window vigilantly .
“… Are you alright?” Gu Nianzhi asked as she struggled to sit up .
The driver was still Vladimir .

Gu Nianzhi remembered that the driver was shot in the morning . She quickly asked, “Where’s Uncle Ivan?”
Ivan was the driver’s name .
“Here, he’s still here . ” Vladimir pouted at the seat next to him .
Gu Nianzhi poked her head forward and saw the driver lying motionless against the seat . There was a visible hole in the back of his clothing . It must have been a bullet hole . She was stunned, and she asked anxiously, “He was shot, wasn’t he? He was shot, wasn’t he? Why didn’t he go to the hospital? How long has it been?! ”
He wasn’t dead, was he?!
Vladimir and Huo Shaoheng didn’t make a sound .
The middle-aged driver was still lying on the ground motionlessly .
Gu Nianzhi’s tears were about to fall . She said to Vladimir, “What are you waiting for? Where’s the hospital here? We have to send him there right away! ”
Vladimir snickered, then punched the middle-aged driver who was lying next to him and pretending to be dead . “That’s enough, get up! ”
The middle-aged driver roared with laughter . He sat up straight and turned around proudly . “Cereus, I’m fine!”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened . “But you were shot!”
The middle-aged driver pulled his clothes to the sides and revealed the bulletproof vest inside . “Look, with this baby, those bullets won’t work on me!”
“Stop bragging, ” Huo Shaoheng said calmly . “The other person used armor-piercing bullets . If it wasn’t for the bulletproof glass blocking the way, it wouldn’t have been a problem for them to pierce through your bulletproof vest . ”
Vladimir was still smiling at first, but his smile faded and he said gloomily, “They actually dared to attack us . Whoever did it is digging his own grave!”
When there was no need to hide their identities, they would use public license plates . They were all KGB, and everyone in Russia knew that .
If they drove such a car, it meant that they were from the KGB .
How dare they provoke them?!
The driver was also very angry and roared, “They shot me! I’m injured! ”
He then nagged at Vladimir, ” … I was injured on the job, right? You’ll have to reimburse me for my medical expenses when we get back . Also, I’m going to the hospital for treatment, and I’m going to a scenic area to recuperate from my injuries . You will have to subsidize this therapeutic retreat . Since I got injured on the job, my salary, including my bonus, will have to remain the same while I recuperate . ”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Where was the injury?
Was it the brain?
Vladimir caught a glimpse of Gu Nianzhi’s stunned expression from the corner of his eye . It was very embarrassing, but he couldn’t refute the driver’s words . He could only say impatiently, “We’ll talk about it when we get back . ”
After a while, he asked again, “Are you okay?”
He was still very worried about the driver .
Although he had a bulletproof vest, just as Huo Shaoheng had said, the other person had used armor-piercing bullets . What if he was injured?
The driver rubbed his shoulder and grimaced . “The bulletproof vest didn’t penetrate, but the force of penetration was too strong . I think my bones may have been fractured . ”
Vladimir: ” … ”
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, “It’s very likely that his bones were injured . Vladimir, why don’t we bring him here to find a hospital to have a checkup?”
Vladimir snapped back to reality and spat at the driver, “You’re just trying to cheat a paid vacation out of us!”
The driver chuckled, ” … I’m injured anyway . ”
The two of them joked with each other and continued on their journey . They still couldn’t find a place to refuel before the sky turned dark .
They had been on the road for two days and one night, and had already entered Siberia .
The temperature had dropped considerably at night . The car window had been broken, so it didn’t keep out the cold at all . The air conditioner couldn’t be used anymore either .
The key was that there wasn’t much gas left . Before they found a gas station, even if the air conditioner wasn’t broken, it couldn’t be used .
“Why don’t we find a place and rest here for the night? ” Vladimir was at a loss . He took out his cell phone and began to search for nearby gas stations .
However, this place was too remote, and the cellphone reception wasn’t good . Vladimir couldn’t find anything .
Upon seeing this, Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and started to search .

The Nandou satellite communication system was too powerful . Gu Nianzhi’s phone had no problem connecting to the Internet and making calls .
She searched around and found a gas station two miles away .
“This way . We’ll be able to fill up after another two miles . ” Gu Nianzhi showed Vladimir the route .
Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove over to the gas station .
It was already completely dark, and there was a half moon hanging in the sky above Siberia .
In the open field, the wind blew against the Birch trees .
The brightly lit gas station ahead was very eye-catching in the dark night . The tall 7-eleven sign was waiting for them to approach .
Gu Nianzhi shrunk her neck and mumbled, “It’s so cold . ”
“I’ll get your coat when we fill up the gas later . ” Huo Shaoheng pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek as he used his warm body to warm her up .
The driver and Vladimir were caught off guard by the sudden PDA out of the blue .
The two of them wrinkled their noses and pushed open the door to get out of the car .
One of them went to refuel, while the other stood guard .
Their suitcases were piled up in the back of the jeep . Huo Shaoheng stretched his arm into the trunk and took out the Burberry military coat he had bought for Gu Nianzhi . He also brought over the leather boots to help her change into it .
Gu Nianzhi put on the coat with the wool lining and instantly felt her body warm up .
She rubbed her hands together and smiled . “It would be perfect if there was a cup of hot chocolate as well . ”
Huo Shaoheng also wanted to get out of the car to take a look at their surroundings . He nodded . “Wait here, and I’ll go get it . ”
There were also convenience stores at gas stations that sold some food, drinks, and tobacco .
Huo Shaoheng got out of the car and walked under the moonlight to the brightly lit convenience store . However, just as he was about to reach the door, he stopped dead in his tracks .
Outside the door, he saw some few figures flash by under the moonlight .
He could see clearly that one of them was carrying a gun on his back . Judging by its shape, it was probably a semi-automatic sub-machine gun .
