Chapter 104 - Sifeng Got Shot

"Alright, Lao Wei!"

I can clearly hear their words. Hmm, what a favorable situation. There is only one man now in this room. The man turned his back on me.

Slowly, I got up and grabbed the club they had previously used to injure me. Slowly, I approached the man whose name seemed to be Jeremy, Straw or whatever I didn't care.

With all my might, I hit the man's neck repeatedly using a club.

Succeed. The man fainted for a moment. I kneeled beside him..

"Hahaha ... so this is only to the extent of your power, Uncle?"

I stroked the back of my hair a little with my right hand. When I looked at my hand, a sudden feeling of nausea hit me.

Unlucky! Blood. I can't faint right now! I still have to save Mama.

I walked over to Mama, untying the knots that bound Mama's hands and feet.

"Mama! Mama! Wake up, Mom! We're getting out of here, Mom!" I called while gently patting Mama's cheek, trying to wake her up.

A few minutes later, Mom woke up. I smiled relieved to see Mama was fine.

"Mama, you're all right, aren't you?" I asked Mama.

Mom shook her head slowly. Mama looked around, understanding the situation.

Before finally, Mama looked at me intently. "A-Feng, how are you? Are you all right, Son?" Mom asked, panicking.

"I'm fine, Mom! Let's go!"

I lied to Mama. I'm not okay right now. My chest still feels tight, plus the blow that made my head throb in pain. But what does all that mean compared to Mama's safety?

Before leaving, I took a gun from the pocket of the man I hit earlier. Looks like I'll be needing that gun later.

Mom and I walked out of the room. Down some stairs, which I think is higher than before.

Every now and then I feel that my steps feel so light that it almost makes me lose my balance.

Mama realized there was something strange about me. Now, my mother is carrying me.

"Thanks, Mom," I said quietly.

After walking for a long time, Mama and I finally managed to get out of the building. We immediately headed for the forest on the south side of the building.

"Whoa! They're running away!" screams from the rooftops.

Unlucky! They caught us.

We quickened our pace, until---

BANG!!

The gunshots were deafening.

I panicked. I checked Mama's whole body. But, there was not the slightest wound on Mama's body. I'm grateful!

BANG!

Again the sound of gunshots broke the silence of the night, making the birds that were previously quiet in their cages now fly.

We continued to run towards the forest. But what is this? I felt pain in my left shoulder. Oh shit! Blood dripped from my shoulder.

Mama looked very panicked when she realized I was moaning in pain.

"A-Feng, you got shot, Son!" Mama screamed as she rubbed my face gently. Maybe my face looks like it's in pain. A few moans of pain also escaped my lips.

I smiled at Mom.

"I'm fine, Mama," I said quietly. I tried to cover up the pain I felt all over my body right now.

Unlucky! My steps are slowing down. The three men were getting closer to us. I don't know what to do in an urgent situation like this.

Okay! The most important thing right now is Mama's safety. I'll keep those thugs from hurting mama.

I turned to Mama and said, "Mommy, please run to the forest first! I'll catch up with you later."

"No! I won't leave you, Son."

"Please, Mama! Trust me, I'll be fine!" I tried to convince Mama.

Although at first Mama refused, but in the end Mama obeyed my words. Mama ran into the forest to hide.

I stared at Mama's distant reflection, and disappeared into the dim night. At least Mama would be safe from the gunmen, even if she had to hide in the forest. I hope there are no wild animals in the forest there either.

I'm now hiding behind a big tree. Their footsteps could be heard getting closer and closer to me.

"Find them! The child is injured, there is no way they can run any further."

One of them spoke. I'm sure they must have seen the bloodstains I left on the ground. They followed the drop of blood.

Unlucky! They were getting closer to me. I crouched down, pointing my gun at the man who was about to reach me.

BANG!!

Yup, it worked. I aimed right at the man's feet. He groaned in pain. I'm great at this. At least, I've learned this from Papa's friend, Inspector He Yuan Ji.

Oh God! My shot caught the attention of the other two men. I acted quickly and ran away.

However, dammit! They were aware of my existence.

Bang!!

They were aiming at me. But luckily I was hiding behind another big tree.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Gunshots were heard over and over again. There was a gunfight between us.

I took a deep breath, before aiming my gun at them again.

Bang!

Yup, once again I managed to shoot one of the kidnappers.

"Hmm, you're great, Zhang Sifeng!"

Hehehe ... I praise myself for my greatness.

Ah, not what I expected! Unfortunately, my shot missed. The hot lead only injured the man's arm.

I ran back, entering the deepest forest.

Bang!

Unlucky! Now my feet are also slightly scratched by their hot lead. Luckily they missed their shot. However, my legs still hurt.

"Arrgh!" I can't run anymore.

I decided to hide behind a big tree this time. I heard footsteps approaching towards me.

Oh God! Help me!

Suddenly, there was a roar from the sky. Well, that must be the helicopter they mentioned earlier.

There was the sound of footsteps walking away. It seems, are they running away or are they looking for reinforcements?

Gosh, I really need you right now, Yushen Ge!

I reached for my cell phone which was in my trouser pocket. But, Yushen still didn't answer my call. All right, I'll just send a short message.

There was another rumbling sound from above. Now, the helicopter looks far away. Thank God!

"Arrgghhh!" Suddenly the gunshot wound and the wound on my head hurt again. This is very annoying.

I felt excruciating pain in my shoulders, legs and head. Not to mention my burning body, a second later shivering with cold. Another second burned, then shivered again. Ah! I don't know what's happening to me right now.

I feel like I can't stand it anymore. In fact, my body, which was originally sitting against a tree, is now curled up on the ground. My eyes feel heavy.

For a moment, my breath caught in my throat. I felt a stabbing pain in my chest. Is this the ending that Lord Jack said? Come to think of it, it is now approaching the eighteenth month.

"A-FENG!"

Faintly, I heard Mama's voice. Mama lifted me up and hugged her trembling body.

Mama's embrace felt so comfortable to me. So far, I have never felt a mother's embrace. I want it to continue like this, Mama.

"A-Feng, please endure, Son!" Mom shouted.

For some reason, Mama's voice seemed to give me strength again.

"Keep calling me that, Mom!" I said quietly.

"A-Feng, you're Mama's son, right? You're a strong man, aren't you? So keep your eyes open, Son!"

I heard Mama's voice sobbing.

"I'm fine, Mom. As long as I'm with you, I'll be fine."

I tried my best to make my voice sound smooth. But, this doesn't seem to be able to reduce Mama's worries right now.

"Mom?" call me, quietly.

"Yeah. What's wrong, A-Feng? Mama's here, Son." Mama said

"You know what? I've loved you ever since I first saw you, Mom. And that won't change forever."

My mother's cries became clearer after hearing my words.

"I'm sorry, A-Feng! I don't deserve your affection. I've been mean to you, Son." Mom said.

Mom stroked my cheek gently. Seriously, this is the first time Mama has done this to me.

"I've forgiven everything, before Mama even said this. So forget it all, Mama!"

Mama's cries are getting louder. Mama sobbed as she kissed my cheek, forehead and hair.

I feel very comfortable in Mama's arms. I want time to stop right now.

"Mama?" I called Mama back.

"Yeah, what's wrong, A-Feng? Say whatever you want, Son!"

"I'm tired, can I sleep for a bit?" I asked, quietly.

Mom shook her head.

"Please, don't close your eyes, A-Feng! Do you have the heart to make me have no one to talk to in the middle of the forest like this, huh?" Mom grumbled, looking annoyed.

A moment later, Mama smiled crookedly. I know that smile is fake. Mama just wanted to strengthen me.

I smiled back at Mama.

"Mom...?" call me again, for the umpteenth time. Normally, Mama would get mad if I called her like this.

To be continued ....
