Chapter 142 - Going to Die Today

"Get Ready." Hearing her brother say this, Andrea quickly checked Lu Fang's chest and when she felt the bulletproof vest, she became at ease. 

"What about you? You aren't bulletproof?" The man complained. He thought, 'How can my wife worry about me but not herself and the babies.'

"Hey, I'm wearing one too," Hanxi said to make the man feel better. 

Yeong shook his head and turned to Lu Fang. "Soon, you won't need one."

Andrea was busy with her laptop and connected to the satellites. Li Wen had already given her access days before. Through the infrared sensors, she could get an evaluation of the enemy's actual numbers and location. 

"There are six of them about two kilometers away and maybe about ten men behind us in two cars. "

"They are planning to corner us." Said Lu Fang. 

"They must have hired locally as our sources only identified eight men from The Shadows to have arrived," Andrea added. 

In the first car, Gao Rou had Han-joon with him and three soldiers of General Lei. The couple was together with Yeong, and Hanxi. They were incredibly outnumbered, but that didn't bother the siblings. 

Andrea also noticed a beeping sound on her laptop. It was the tracker she had put on the bald man during their first encounter with The Shadows. It made her smirk at the thought. She concluded that it will be easy for her to track their movements. 

Yeong saw the same motorbike coming their way and decided to put a halt to it. He instructed Hanxi to stop the car and Gao Rou did the same.

After getting off, Yeong hailed for the motorbike and pretended to ask for directions. Looking for signals, he scanned the rider thoroughly. 

Caucasian. Check.

The Shadows tattoo. Check. 

The lump on his back suggested a gun. Check. 

Unwilling to remove the helmet. Check. 

Of course, the easiest means to give away his identity would be to ask him directly. "Tell me where is Lorenzo. I'm here to kill him."

The rider immediately threw a punch at Yeong which was quickly blocked by his left palm. In a fraction of a second, the unknown man was sent flying behind Yeong's back making him growl in pain. Yeong flipped him over and in a blink of an eye, knives were stabbed against his chest making him run out of breath, feeling his lungs wounded by the blades. 

They were at an unfamiliar expressway in Beijing and up ahead, a ten-wheeler truck blocked an exit which supposedly led to the main road. There was not much room for hiding either. 

Andrea was contemplating whether they should continue down the road when Lu Fang brilliantly suggested a plan. 

She pouted her lips and said, "You are amazing, babe."

Two sports vehicles arrived at the couple's earlier location and the perpetrators inside were surprised to see Gao Rou's car planted in the middle of the road with all doors open. Up ahead they could see three men running on the other side of the track. 

"They are on foot running towards the highway!" It was Ravoski, the bald man, who exclaimed. He was riding with Lorenzo in a blue car when he rolled down his window to examine the scene. 

As they placed their automobiles on neutral to look around, Ravoski immediately shouted for the men inside the black car to follow them. Four of them shortly climbed off the road railings and headed towards the highway. 

"There is only one car," said Lorenzo. "One might have gone ahead."

Lorenzo turned to the driver of the other engine and asked him to stay behind in case their companions return. Their car traversed towards the same course hoping to catch up with Lu Fang and his men. As they were driving, they saw Marco, their colleague, was in the same motorbike going back, opposite to where they were headed.

The rider slowed down and gave a hand gesture suggesting that the target's vehicle was nearby. 

Not bothering to roll down the window nor speak with him, Lorenzo and Ravoski nodded and continued on the trail. 

"That Lu Fang has got to die today. I suffered severely the last time. He and that bitch will have to pay!" Declared Ravoski. 

"Are you sure she didn't have a tracker on you?"

"Positive! I threw away my phone. Remember? That was the only thing she touched."

Up ahead they could hear bullet exchanges and there they saw Lu Fang's car parked on the side of the road and two men shot bullets against their accomplices. 

Lorenzo studied carefully the surroundings. He saw two of his fellows already dead. One was wounded taking cover behind a van and with him were three other men. He thought, 'Dammit! The shooters on Lu Fang's side were very skilled!'

BANG! BANG!

Shots were fired at their way almost hitting Lorenzo's driver. They immediately got off the car and use it for cover. 

"Their car is bulletproofed and I imagine Lu Fang must be inside."

"Huh! What kind of man hides behind the bulletproofed car?" Ravoski complained. 

Lorenzo could only shake his head hearing the stupid question. 

Across them, Xio Hanxi and Kim Han-joon were trying their best to save their bullets. The enemy had prepared well and seemed to have limitless firepower. 

"Don't worry, Hanxi. they are bound to finish up all their bullets," Han-joon said as he fired another shot in the direction of the van instantly hitting another enemy in the arm. With that came bullets raining towards them. 

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

With every single bullet they fire, five to eight shots would come their way.  

Checking their vehicle, the first layer of the glass windows was already shattered that Hanxi began to worry if the polycarbonate from the inside would hold. He had never seen so many bullets fired at him all at once. 

"We need to divert the attack to another direction," said Han-joon. 

"You are being an ass right now! This is the safest place to be!"

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Their opponents sent another round of shots to their way. The two ducked and hid behind the trunk. 

The crossfire had gone on for another ten minutes when finally, the other sports car arrived.

Ravoski was relieved to see their colleagues appear especially since they were running out of ammo. He turned to Lorenzo and said, "They are about to piss on their pants now we have more bullets to throw at them! Haha! Lu Fang will die today."
