Obviously, the ‘hole’ was made recently. The bricks on the inside of the wall were uneven and the work looked very rough. There were bundles of bamboo poles standing on the outside of the wall to block the hole. Xu Heng took a little bit of effort to push it. The bamboo pole fell down, revealing the pitch-black wilderness outside the garden.
The main building of this Manor was luxurious, but behind the garden did not look that great. There were a lot of building materials piled up messily. Because there were no roads leading to this area, so the police never thought that the gunmen would escape from here. They also would never have thought that the leader of the gunmen would abandon his accomplices to distract them.
Everything was unexpected. It was mainly because everyone had misunderstood Xu Heng’s true goal!
“There is one thing that Mr. Chu said is wrong. If there is a chance I can get money, I won’t refuse it. After all, it will not be easy for me to find a job and make money in the future. So this million, I will just consider it as the price of the remote control. Hehe, the people you saved are either rich or influential. I believe that the value of this life-saving device is far more expensive than one million. So it is not a bad deal for you.” Xu Heng said generously, but he never lowered his pistol. “Good people will be rewarded, Mr. Chu, I mean what I said. I know you don’t believe me, but please give me a chance to see the fall of the Long Family. This is much more important than my life and freedom. After the Long family falls, we will meet again. At that time, I will definitely pay you back this favor.”
I hoped we wouldn’t meet again! In fact, I hoped he could stay the hell away from me. Damn it, I wished I could subdue him. But now, if I really did anything, I would die here. Feeling pity in my heart, I said lightly, “If we meet again, I will definitely bring you to the police. Once you make a mistake, you should pay the price for your mistakes!”
Xu Heng smiled slightly, pushing the motorcycle out of the hole. Seeing this, I also let out a sigh of relief. With the bombs’ remote control in my hand, my life would not be in danger anymore. . .
After Xu Heng got on the motorcycle, his face suddenly became stern, and he said seriously, “Mr. Chu, don’t you want to know why I want to risk being suspected by Green Snake to save you? I don’t deny that there is a purpose of using you to pass my motives for committing the crime to the police, but this is something that anyone can do, so it doesn’t have to be you. Actually, as long as you were in this manor, I would not detonate any bombs. It is not that I am being hypocritical. I sincerely hoped that nothing would happen to you. . .”
No wonder he would give me the remote control so easily. It turned out that he had planned not to detonate the bombs. . . I couldn’t help but believe Xu Heng’s words, because I had already guessed the reason why he didn’t want to kill me, “Because of Ku’er and her grandma?”
Xu Heng nodded, and a touch of pity and sympathy flashed in his eyes, “Grandma and Ku’er had almost the same misfortune as mine. The car accident that Ku’er and her parents were involved in was caused by the second young master of the Long family. He was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time. They suppressed the matter by offering to take care of Ku’er and grandma. But Mr. Chu also saw how they treated them, right? You should understand what kind of care they have been receiving from the Long family. Grandma had to work all the time to get something to eat, and Ku’er could only be locked in the room every day. Not only did the Long family not feel guilty, but they also put on a hypocritical face of a philanthropist and deliberately arranged them to live in the manor. But privately, they think that Ku’er and her grandma were leeching off them. It was because of this that they were bullied by Bustler Gao, the relative of the second daughter-in-law of the Long family. . .”
I was taken aback. Not only because I finally understood why there were such unfortunate people as Ku’er and her Grandma in the rich man’s house, but also because I knew why Xu Heng took special care of these two people.
“I have consulted a psychiatrist before. Ku’er’s illness was not caused by a car accident, but a horrible scene of the tragic death of her parents. The shock she had at that time was too great. As long as she receives good psychological counseling, changes to a good living environment, and communicates with other people more often, she will slowly recover. But as long as she stays in this manor, she will never be able to recover.” Xu Heng dropped the pistol and suddenly bowed to me, “Mr. Chu, I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for them! I know that I am in no position to make any demands, but please take care of Ku’er, and don’t let her become someone like me one day! ”
I didn’t say anything. I just nodded lightly. However, it was not because of Xu Heng’s pleading. After seeing Ku’er, who was a mentally unstable kid, still wanting to protect the meat she stole for her grandma even though her arms were burned, I had already made up my mind that I had to help them. Hearing that Ku’er’s psychological trauma could be healed, I was relieved a lot.
Xu Heng smiled. He started the motorcycle. The noise of the engine completely covered the shouts and cries of Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye outside the warehouse. I also slowly lowered the pistol.
Even though I could pull the trigger to stop him, my fingers still couldn’t move. Maybe I was afraid of killing, or maybe I didn’t want to do it at all. . .
“Also, Mr. Chu, if you believe me, you can tell Officer Dong. . .” Xu Heng put on the helmet and lowered the vizor. He then smiled and said to me, “My five accomplices entered the manor two days ago. They have been hiding in my dormitory until tonight. In the last two days, they didn’t rest very well, so they are not at their best physically and mentally. Hehe, from the fact that Man Zi was easily subdued by you just now, this should be enough to prove it. You have to know that he is someone who has killed two police officers with bare hands…”
I instantly broke out in a cold sweat. . . I thought I was very strong, but it turned out that the man wasn’t at his best physically, “why do you want to tell me this?”
“Since they are not at their best, the police can try to capture them alive or kill them,” Xu Heng said with a deep voice, causing my heart to skip a beat. Then he carried on, “The firearms they used were prepared by me. The bullets were loaded by me. Only the first two were live ammunition. Among them, Man Zi and Green Snake had already fired one. If the police are willing to take risks, they can wear bulletproof vests and pose as the families of the hostages to sneak in. . . Haha, this is probably the best way to minimize casualties. At least if the first few live ammunition were fired at the police, it means that the hostages would be safe, right?”
No wonder he deliberately gave me Dong Xiaoye’s pistol. Man Zi only had one bullet left, but I have a full magazine of bullets. It was obvious as to who had a higher chance to survive. Even if all bullets were shot at me, they would waste all their bullets when the police stormed in. Then they would not be able to escape either. This Xu Heng, he really didn’t want those people to escape. . .
There was only a small rugged rock path behind the garden. It was so small that it would only allow one person to walk on it at the same time, so there was no way the police would be able to catch up with him.
Seeing the tail light of the motorcycle disappear into the darkness, my legs finally gave out. The exhaustion that suddenly washed over my whole body made me almost collapse to the ground. Mo Fei’s cry and Dong Xiaoye’s shout clearly went into my ears again. I picked up the heavy envelope that Xu Heng threw on the ground and dragged the wounded leg to the door. After I slowly pushed open the iron door of the warehouse, and the dazzling light directed at my face immediately blinded my eyes, so I simply closed my eyes.

“Keep your hands above your head!”
Above your ass! The light was so bright, but the police still couldn’t recognize that it was me. Were they short-sighted? Did they not know that I was the hostage? ! Hearing the police’s warning, all I felt was speechlessness.
Although I was also very happy that I finally escaped the danger, the exhaustion in my body surpassed the feeling of joy.
“Chu Nan!”
A tender body bumped into my arms and hugged my neck tightly. The orchid fragrance instantly filled my nasal cavity dispelling everything in my mind. I slowly opened my eyes. What I saw was Mo Fei’s pretty face filled with tears of joy. Did this woman rush forward before she figured out the situation?
“Are you alright? Are you okay? Are you injured? You are alive, that’s great, so great!”
I stared at Mo Fei muttering cherry mouths, thinking shamelessly. How nice it would be if the person hugging me now was Liusu. Then I could kiss the two tender lips that were close at hand fiercely. . .
As I thought about it, my dry lips were suddenly wrapped in softness. I was taken aback. Mo Fei actually kissed me on my lips!
God damn it! Was she taking advantage of me in this kind of situation?!
God knew why I didn’t push her away immediately. The dazzling lights and the relief after escaping the danger made me feel like I was in heaven. Even though I knew that this was not my angel, all I did was not respond to her kiss. Alright, actually, in order for her to kiss me more easily, I lowered my head. . .
Mo Fei obviously didn’t know how to kiss. I was looking forward to the moment she put her little tongue into my mouth so I could suck it to relieve the inexplicable dryness and thirst. But all she knew was to bite my lips blindly and pressed her lips closer to mine. However, I could still feel a gust of sweetness pouring into my mouth, making my heart tremble and making me even more greedy.
“You. . . What are you two doing? !”
“Ouch~!” A sharp pain suddenly appeared on my shin, causing the pain from the gun wound to become even more obvious. I staggered, and almost pressed the button of the remote control.
“What is wrong with you? !” With the lingering fear in my mind, I shouted at Dong Xiaoye who had kicked me, not because she had just kicked me, but because she almost made me become a murderer.
“What is wrong with you!” Dong Xiaoye glared at Mo Fei in anger and contempt, and then yelled at me, “Chu Jerk! I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! Have you thought about Liusu! How can you do this to her! !”
These words were like a steel fork, poking into my heart. My face blushed, and then I realized that twenty policemen were looking at me in astonishment!
God damn it! I was caught cheating red-handed by so many police officers! By the way, why were they still looking at me? Didn’t they want to check the warehouse to catch the gunman?
Mo Fei also felt embarrassed. It was understandable why she would feel that way. She has always been noble and arrogant like an inviolable goddess. When had she ever done something like this in front of so many people? But I didn’t expect that she would abandon her image and bravely find an excuse for me. “It, it was me who took the initiative to kiss him. He didn’t do anything wrong. . .” She said to Dong Xiaoye intermittently.
“You, shameless!” Dong Xiaoye couldn’t help but blurt it out.
A trace of anger flashed in Mo Fei’s beautiful eyes, but then it was quickly replaced by cowardice and shame. As Liusu’s best friend, Dong Xiaoye had the right to scold Mo Fei and me. However, I still thought it was a bit too much. It was fine to call me this way, after all, I was a man. But Mo Fei was a girl. Besides, I had just escaped from danger. It was completely normal that she would have this kind of reaction, right?…
Er… Alright, I admit that I was a scumbag that should not be forgiven. .
