C48

The white beam of the flashlight shook in the darkness. Wherever it swept across, there were mottled stone walls, wooden stakes wrapped in thick ropes, and a handgun pointed at Zhao Yilin's forehead.

Song Tao suddenly stopped in his tracks, pointed his gun at Dou Dou and said, "You're not allowed to randomly take pictures! You want to shoot me in the eye? "

Dou Dou was stabbed in the heart, the smooth side of the flashlight to the side.

"I advise you not to move recklessly, or else my heart will be flustered, and I won't be able to tell even if I press the trigger with my trembling hand."

Song Tao slowly walked to the side of his accomplice. He tied the rope around Zhao Yilin's hand to his wrist and then quickly helped his accomplice escape.

Zhao Yilin looked back at Song Tao and asked Dou Dou, "Is Ye Lin alright?"

Dou Dou nodded his head. "I'm fine."

As long as he was fine, everything else was fine.

The man who was being untied said angrily, "F * ck, hurry up. That Huo fella went to save that girl. He'll be back soon."

Song Tao turned around and looked at Zhao Yilin. Even though he couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness, it seemed even calmer than before. He pulled down the rope with all his might and said, "It's hard to untie a cow's tendons. It's dark outside. How am I supposed to untie it?"

"Where's your flashlight?"

Song Tao remembered that on the way over, he had wanted to touch Zhao Yilin's chest for a moment. Who knew that she was struggling so hard? The flashlight had been broken from the impact.

However, he couldn't say such words, so he could only be vague: "I broke my wrist when I was running."

Zhao Yilin was still standing at the side, not replying. Her eyes were like searchlights, and her mind was spinning fast.

Song Tao had already brought her here for a long time. According to common sense, Huo Yelin should have already returned by now, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Outside the dark gray wall, there were some pine trees. The tree trunk was crooked but not thick. It was not suitable for hiding people.

Zhao Yilin's heart skipped a beat when she saw the tall weeds growing on the south side of the sheepfold.

Dou purposely shone the flashlight behind him, not giving Song Tao the slightest bit of light. "Yi Lin, are you hurt?"

Zhao Yilin looked away and said, "No."

At this moment, the assassin behind him began to shout again, "Why is it still not done yet?"

Song Tao threw away the rope. "It's too dark." He stood up and pointed the gun at Zhao Yilin's head, saying, "You, throw the flashlight over here."

Dou Dou snorted a laugh. "If I give you the only thing that can illuminate me, what should I do?"

Song Tao said, "I can break her limbs for you to see." He pointed the gun at her arm and thigh.

Dou cursed as he threw the flashlight over. Song Tao extended his hand to receive it, but Zhao Yilin caught it with a step forward.

Song Tao glared at her and said, "What are you doing? "Give it to me!"

Zhao Yilin glanced at him, "Why are you untying the ropes while illuminating the surroundings?" I'll take your picture. "

"Humph, how could you be so kind?" Song Tao refused to believe that she would snatch the flashlight from him and use it as a shield to untie the rope while squatting beside her accomplice.

Zhao Yilin swayed as he dragged her to the side of the wall.

Song Tao was extremely cautious. He picked a blind spot where neither Dou Dou nor Zhao Yilin could mount a sneak attack.

But...

Zhao Yilin looked at the bushes in the distance, and then at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou naturally moved in front of the killer in front of him to block his line of sight.

A few seconds later, a black shadow slowly emerged from the grass like a lurking cheetah, waiting to take action.

Unfortunately, it was too far.

Zhao Yelin slightly frowned. Huo Yelin was at least a dozen meters away, surrounded by darkness. Only she had a dot of light which swayed gently with Song Tao's movements.

As time passed, Zhao Yilin's heartbeat became faster and faster. The hemp rope rustled under Song Tao's movements, and it looked like it was about to be untied.

Shoot! Zhao Yilin stared at the silhouette in the distance as she thought to herself, "It doesn't matter even if you hit me. Just shoot a few more times. As long as Song Tao falls, we will have hope of survival!"

"Heh, this rope is really tight." Song Tao chuckled lightly and untied the rope.

The accomplice tied to the post laughed and shook the rope off.

Zhao Yilin trembled in anger. What should she do if she missed such a good opportunity? Why didn't you shoot Huo Yelin!

Song Tao took off the flashlight hanging around his neck and stood up with a smile. His tall body blocked Zhao Yilin completely.

Then, there was a gunshot, followed by another.

The killer who had just been untied was killed by Dou Dou, while Song Tao was shot in the temple and died on the spot.

Zhao Yilan fell to the ground. One moment she thought she had missed a good opportunity, the next Song Tao and his accomplices fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other accomplice cursed loudly. Little Dou wanted to shoot him, but Huo Yelin's voice came from the distance, "Don't kill him yet."

Zhao Yilin leaned against the wall, looking at the two bodies in front of her. When she thought of the danger she had just faced, she couldn't help but feel weak and unable to stand up.

She picked up the flashlight and shone it in front of her.

Huo Yelin walked towards her from the bright white lights.

Black suit pants, black shirt, black pistol swinging back and forth with each step. At this moment, he was like a black-feathered angel descending from the sky, carrying out a rescue in the darkness.

Zhao Yelin's body stiffened as she held the flashlight in her hands. She was overwhelmed by the joy and fear coming from over her head. When Huo Yelin walked up to him, he knelt down on one knee, pressed down the flashlight that had been shining on his face, and said, "Yi Lin, everything is fine now."

Zhao Yilin's mind was blank, and her breath came in ragged pants as she stared at him.

Huo Yelin reached out to hold her in his arms and untied her hands.

Zhao Yilin leaned her head against his chest and rubbed his chest. It was warm and she stared at him without blinking.

The gun in Dou Dou's hand was still pressed against the assassin's forehead. He asked: "Boss Huo, what should we do next?"

Huo Yelin quickly untied the rope tied around Zhao Yilin's wrist and said, "Song Tao and the others didn't report back yet. Duan Zhengping's men should be coming down soon. When will our people be arriving?"

Dou said, "It should be soon."

Zhao Yelin grabbed Huo Yelin's hand and asked, "What are you guys talking about? Who is Duan Zhengping, one of your people? Isn't it all over? "

Huo Yelin took out the gun and walkie-talkie from Song Tao's body, then placed the gun in Zhao Yelin's hand. "I'm sorry, but you were still dragged into this. Do you still remember what I told you when we were surrounded by the men in black in the car?"

Zhao Yilin could hear the guilt and helplessness in his heart. She held the gun in her hand and said, "I remember, but the situation has changed. I have become their target. Who exactly are they, and why are they chasing after us? "

Huo Yelin didn't reply. He had Little Dou remove the killer from the wooden stake and push him to his two dead companions, saying, "You only have one survivor. I'll only ask you once."

The killer stared at Dou Dou's gun pointed at the top of his head and said, "If you ask, I'll tell you anything."

"Where are the reinforcements?"

The hitman happily pointed out the location of the meeting. Huo Yelin did not say anything, and Little Dou picked him up and tied him to a stake.

Huo Yelin told the killer, "You've exposed the secret of our organization. I won't kill you, and they won't let you off either. When the villagers come over later, they'll definitely let you go.

Then he said to Zhao Yilin, "Their meeting place is not far from here. Dou and I need to meet up with my men at Windy Slope before four. I could have left you here, but this time I want to take the risk and take you with me."

Zhao Yilin understood and nodded seriously.

Dou Dou was busy with her work as she said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to make it."

Huo Yelin was silent for a moment before he said, "If our men don't arrive, Duan Zhengping's men will come looking for us. Take Eli and leave first."

"How dare you!"

Huo Yelin lowered his head to look at Zhao Yelin's furious expression. She was like a little kitten who was baring its fangs as every hair on its body stood up.

He ignored her threats and waited for Dou to tie up the killer again before they set off for the mountain.

Zhao Yilin climbed up the cliff and turned around to look at the lights of the village. The two gunshots just now had probably scared the whole village witless.

They would soon be here, and he wondered how they would feel when they saw the bodies of the two policemen in the sheepfold.

Huo Yelin saw her expression and thought she was worried about the safety of the villagers. "The villagers will be fine," he said.

Zhao Yilin nodded and increased her spirit as she hurried on her way. When she saw the light in Dou Dou's hands, she said softly, "It's better to turn off the light. It's too obvious."

Little Dou looked back at Huo Yelin, who nodded. The light of the flashlight was extinguished, and darkness quickly engulfed the area.

Huo Yelin squatted in front of Zhao Yilin and said, "I'll carry you."

"No, I can keep up." "You have to conserve your strength," Zhao Yilin said as he walked around him. "Use it again when you meet up with him on a narrow path."

Huo Yelin raised his head to see her stubbornly walking in front. She was still wearing her pajamas with long sleeves and pants on. Her hair was loose at the back of her head, and from time to time, it would be blown to one side by the mountain wind.

On the way, every time Huo Yelin saw her eyes, he could only see indifference and fearlessness. When Song Tao had pointed the gun at her head earlier, he hadn't seen her struggle at all. On the contrary, after the two men had died, Zhao Yilin had collapsed on the ground, a look of lingering fear on her face.

Huo Yelin thought carefully as his eyebrows tightened. He grabbed her and said, "I'm warning you, once you run into Duan Zhengping's people, you're not allowed to run around. You have to listen to everything I say!"

Zhao Yilin looked at him doubtfully. "I know. You don't have to remind me again and again."

Huo Yelin looked at her with a warning in his eyes for a while before letting her go.

Zhao Yilin caught up to Dou Dou and whispered, "Who is Duan Zhengping?"

Dou looked ahead and replied in a low voice, "He's the leader of the Mafia in R Country."

"The Mafia?" Isn't that an organization that only exists on television? "

Dou forced a smile and said, "No, most people would think that he doesn't exist if they don't see him. The Mafia is divided into various gangs in many countries. Among which, the R Country is the most famous."

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Yilin was even more confused. "The Huo Family only does business, how could they offend the Mafia?"

"There are a lot of secrets involved, so it's not convenient to explain," said Dou. Anyhow, ever since Boss Huo took over the business of the Huo Group, he had been hunted down. During the process, I've implicated you, and Director Huo is very sorry. The last time you suddenly disappeared to see a friend, Director Huo was so shocked that he went to find you, flipping over A City … "

Huo Yelin berated him, "Little Dou, why are you blabbering so much?"

Zhao Yilin remembered how he had slept on the plane and felt warm inside. She wanted to ask something, but in the end she couldn't. The situation was critical, and it was not the right time to do so.
