Chapter 312 Záchva
The loud gunshot echoed through the quiet penthouse. The man who fired the shot sneers down at the bed. He couldn't wait to hear the woman cry in pain.
From what he was told, the woman is the beauty, Han Yue Ling. Even he can't help but be jealous that a man like Lu Tian is able to keep her by his side.
However, after the gun shot, all was still and quiet with no sound of a woman crying.
His brows knitted tightly, and he quickly grabs the blanket.
By now, both men's eyes had slightly adjusted to the darkness, but once the blanket was pulled, all they saw was what looked like feathers floating in the air.
"…."
Both men were rooted to the ground. Neither could comprehend what happened.
"Grr…."
A low growl sounds from the bed and quickly brought the senses back to the two men. They could see the outline of something hair on top of the bed.
"What the fuck-!"
Man 1 reacted first and lift his hand hold the gun. He pulls the trigger and fires another shot at the unknown creature.
"Záchvat."
"Wroof!"
Inu's ears perk in response to the foreign word and swiftly leaps to the side as more feathers float into the air.
Man 1 had yet to fire when Inu bounces on the bed and charges at the man.
"Argh--!"
Man 1 shrieks in pain and drops his gun to the floor. Inu's mouth locks onto the arm and with a slight twist, a loud 'ka-cha' sounds as he breaks the arm without letting go.
"Argh-! What are you waiting for, shoot it!!"
Man 1 roars in rage and pain. His other hand grabs hold of Inu's head and tries to pull the Samoyed away.
Man 2 reacts and aims his gun at Inu, however, with Man 1 constantly moving, he couldn't get a good aim. He swears inside and pulls the trigger. It was all or nothing.
*Pu!*
Before Man 2 could even pull the trigger, his eyes widen as his head flings sideways to the left. A sharp pain penetrates the right side of his temple and out the left side. Blood spurts out and his body falls to the ground with a loud thud.
Laying on the cold floor, his eyes remained open as his last thoughts wonder to who shot him.
"F-Fuck!"
Man 1 curse when he heard the suppressed gun shot and the loud thud of a body. His head darts in every direction as he tries to pull the unknown creature off of his arm.
However, Inu does not budge at all. His mouth tightens its hold and he swung his body to flip the man.
"Argh--!"
*Pu-!*
The man's body had yet to touch the floor when the sound of a suppressed gun shot fires again and his head flings to the right.
*Thud*
Like the other man, he laid on the cold floor and could not understand how or where the bullet came from.
As the two men laid dead, Inu finally let's go of the arm and sits. His head turns to look up at the darkest part of the room.
Yue Ling's slender figure slowly steps out from the shadows and she stares does at the two men.
Her calm expression makes one tremble as everything seem so natural for her.
Without moving her body, she turn her head to the glass door.
A few moments ago when the two mask men were still alive and opened the glass door, the front door in the living room also opened at the same time.
Footsteps quietly enter the penthouse as four men wearing masks steps inside. Their guns ready in position as they can't be sure if Lu Tian's men are waiting for them inside.
They left the door opened and did not bother to close it. Slowly proceeding towards the bedroom, they confirmed that they were the only ones inside. They continue but remembered that they were inside Jade Condos.
"Search for any valuables."
Man 1 calls a command to the other three. Due to them having the upper hand, they can kidnap and rob, after all, Han Yue Ling is only a model and Lu Tian is not in Imperial.
While the four men start to search the living room, they did not notice the head poking behind the door they left opened.
Lin Hui stares at the four men rummaging through the place and he lightly shook his head. He cannot believe how dumb these men are to enter without caution.
"Hmmm-"
"…."
Just when he thought of the idiotic men, he unknowingly sighs aloud. He quickly hides behind the door again and held in his breath. He curses inside for his dumbness.
However, all four men had heard his sigh. They look at each other and Man 1 whispers.
"Who was it that breathed?"
"It wasn't me."
"Not me."
"Not me either. Was it you?"
The other three men quickly denies. They had also heard the sigh, so it was not them.
Man 1 glares at the three men. He had heard the sigh loud and clear.
"If it wasn't you guys, then who? A ghost?"
"It was me."
From behind the door, Lin Hui nonchalantly answers with a light giggle, but he does not move from position.
All four men look in every direction in search for the owner of the voice, however, there was only four of them and no one else.
Man 1's eyes narrow and he signals the men to lay low. His hand motion towards the door.
Seeing the gesture, Man 2 nod his head and slowly creep towards the door, but instead of going directly to the door, he stops in front of one of the white couches.
*Bang-!*
The same time Man 2 fired a shot, another shot sounds from the bedroom, but no one moves. They were already occupied in the living room, and the other shot should be from the other men.
Man 2 jumps behind the couch and furrow his brows. He scratches his head and looks at the other three.
"There's no one."
Hearing his words, the other three lowers their guns. Maybe it was one of them playing a trick on them since the place was dark.
Man 1 scoffs and continues to search for any valuables.
Man 2 sits down on the couch and sees a dark object. He grabs it and a wide grin curls on his lip when he realized that it was a handbag. He quickly digs inside for the wallet and spoke.
"Bro, are you sure you heard someone else? I'm sure we're the only ones here."
"That's because I'm over here."
*Pu-!* Thud*
Lin Hui answers Man 2. His figure flashes out from behind the door and quickly shoots Man 2 in the head.
"Shoot!!"
Man 1 roars out to the other two as each person quickly reacts and fires in the direction of where Man 2 was.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
However, after the gun shots, all three men held their positions as they try to see if they killed the person.
*Pu-!*
Lin Hui smoothly jumps out from behind the couch and sends a silent bullet into Man 3's head. He leaps forward and wrap his left arm around Man 4's neck.
Swiftly catching Man 4 off guard, he slams the body down and sends a bullet to the head.
*Pu-!*
*Bang-!*
Man 1 sees the figure move in the dark and he fires a shot in Man 4's direction. Unfortunately, his bullet did not hit the target but his brother because Lin Hui had already leap away and was no longer in sight.
"Fuck!"
Down below in the quiet stairwell, the only sound one can hear was the many footsteps climbing up the stairs.
Xu Long and Wolf Team were two flights away from the fifteenth floor. However, reaching the last flight of stairs, Xu Long's steps slows down.
Any wrong move or sound and the enemy will know their location. He signals with his hand and spoke in a low voice.
"Team B, advance forward. Our main goal is to secure the safety of our lady boss."
*Bang-!*
Just when his last word fell and before any members of Wolf Team could respond, a loud bang echoes through the walls and into the stairwell.
*Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!*
Xu Long's eyes widens intensely as if his eyeballs were going to pop out of their sockets. One gunshot was already dreadful enough, but three?
"All teams move in! Move! Move!"
He yells out with panic and the sound of heavy footsteps quickly stomps up the stairs and head for the fifteenth floor.
The same time in the bedroom, Yue Ling and Inu had taken down the two mask men. From the footsteps she heard, there should be a total of four men. Since she killed two, the other two should be waiting outside.
On the balcony, one of the mask men takes his mask off and leans against the glass rail. He takes out a cigarette and orders the other man.
"Go check on them. They're taking too long."
Man 2 nod his head and walks to the door. Kidnapping people had always been an easy task for them, so why are the other two taking so long? If they don't hurry, Lu Tian's team will be here in any minute.
Walking up to the glass door, he does not bother to check inside and push the door open. He nonchalantly enters and calls out.
"Hey, what's taking so long? We need to go."
*Pu-!*
Man 1 was just about to light his cigarette when he hears the suppressed gunshot. His hand holding the lighter froze in midair.
"What is it?"
"…"
Man 2 stood at the doorway with his back slightly sticking out in view. However, he does not answer causing Man 1 to furrow his brows.
"What is—"
*Thud*
Before Man 1 could finish his words, Man 2's body slowly falls backward onto the floor with a loud thud. His eyes remained open as if he was staring at the pouring night sky.
Seeing this, Man 1 tosses the cigarette and lighter. He quickly reaches for his gun and aims it at the door.
Moving in carefully, he walks over to the body. He sees a dark hole on Man 2's forehead as blood slid down. His hand tightens around the gun and he rushes inside the penthouse, but what he is met with shocked him to the core.
The other two men were already lying dead on the ground.
Panic struck him and recklessly fires out to anything he can.
*Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!*
He fires three shots as another three shots sounds from the direction of the living room. He looks at the door and runs out to meet the other men.
"Záchvat."
"Aaarrrggghh--!"
Before he could move, a sharp pain penetrates his arm holding the gun and he shrieks in intense pain. Quickly as it came, a heavy weight pulls a tug and sent him flying with part of his skin ripping.
Landing on the floor, he sighs inside for not letting go of the gun. Ignoring the pain on his right arm, he grabs hold of the gun with his left hand aims out as he sits up.
"Grr…."
In front of him, he sees the dark outline of an unknown beast and a low ferocious growl. It stood in a threatening position with teeth snarling and ears erect.
*Bang-!*
Man 1 fires a shot as another shot sounds from the living room again. He does know what is going on over there, but he needs to kill this beast or else he's dead meat.
Unfortunately for him, his bullet did not hit it's target.
Inu had leap to the left and dodge the bullet. Unlike his threatening position earlier, he adorably sits down and stares at the man.
Man 1 felt offended by the taunting act. He presses his lips tightly together and shoots another fire.
*Pu-!*
However, before he could press the trigger, his head flings sideways to the left and his entire being slumps onto the ground.
Like the other three, he never got to understand the situation because he is already dead.
Yue Ling steps out from the corner of the room and her head slightly tilt. She stares emotionlessly at the man she just killed.
At the same time, in the living room, the last man looks around the room in full alert. Thinking the other four men entering through the balcony are still alive, he quickens his pace to the bedroom.
Just when he passes the kitchen, Lin Hui jumps out from behind the counter and his left arm wraps around the person's neck.
Forcing his body to fall back, he pulls the man down with him in a choke hold. Both his legs wrap around the man's waist like an MMA fighter and he shoots the man in the temple.
Knowing the man died instantly, Lin Hui pushes the heavy body off him and stood up.
In that very same moment, the sound of multiple footsteps enters his ears. He looks at the door and scratch his head in frustration.
"You gotta be fucken kidding me."
He swears a mumble and jumps behind one of the white couches. He detaches the magazine to count his pullets and quickly adjust it back in place.
His ears listen to the footsteps as everything suddenly turns quiet. However, as quickly as the quietness came, his ears picks up light steady footsteps approaching the opened door.
With no intentions of waiting, Lin Hui abruptly stood up and fires his gun.
*Pu!*
*Pu!*
Two suppressed shots fires at the same time, one at Lin Hui and the other at the unknown person. However, both bullets collide into one another and forcibly change directions.
*CRAC--!*
The huge floor to ceiling window in the living room shatters into millions of pieces from one of the bullets while the other bullet enters the wall but does not penetrate through.
Due to the shattered window, the strong wind from the night swirl inside as it blows in the heavy rain.
Through the night vision device, the other person's eyes widen in surprise when he saw who he fired at.
Quickly removing the device covering half his face, he cheerfully voice calls out.
"New family! It's me! Xu Long!"
