C33 (2/2)

Facing the sudden surge of crowd, Hao Qiang kicked aside the few people blocking his way and placed Qi Mengxi in a corner.

Not only Hao Qiang's side, even Lei Li and the others were also being attacked by the crowd.

Seeing how the rich merchants who were just chatting and laughing with him had become the most powerful assassins in the blink of an eye, Hao Qiang once again became suspicious of Lei Li's information network. He had clearly been reminded to improve the last time, but why didn't he seem to have improved at all?

”Hao Qiang, how are things on your side?” Lei Li's voice came from the other side of the banquet hall. He too had been attacked.

With a cold expression, Hao Qiang hid behind a dagger. He did not intend to answer his question. Right now, he was not in a good mood. He was in a passive state one after another, making him feel very bad.

”Xiao Yun, hide behind me!” Han Ziyan pulled out a dagger hidden in her makeup box and shouted.

Han Ziyun was still standing with his back to her, guarding against the enemy.

Han Ziyan was a psychic, so her stamina was lacking. It was difficult for her to handle these assassins.

Although Han Ziyun had some martial arts skills, he had not received any professional training and had been stabbed a few times.

Add to that the tight long skirts they wore, the scene could be imagined.

Seeing that one of them was about to break through their defense line, Hao Qiang grabbed a piece of the plate beside him and shot it towards him.

With a ”pu” sound, the fragment hit the assassin's chest. Before the assassin could react, he fell limply to the ground.

”Hao Qiang!” Han Ziyan quickly approached.

”Are you alright?” Hao Qiang asked.

”I'm fine.” Han Ziyan nodded.

”It's good that you're fine. Look at Qi Mengxi.” After saying this, Hao Qiang's footwork strangely turned right towards an assassin who was charging towards him.

These people should be after him. Let him deal with them.

When the few of them saw Hao Qiang rushing out, they instantly focused all of their attention onto him. Hao Qiang was instantly surrounded by the figures of these people.

If these people were to fight alone with Hao Qiang, it wouldn't be a problem for Hao Qiang at all. However, when these people were combined together, it was as if they had become one entity. The combination was flawless.

”Hao Qiang, I'm coming to help you.” Lei Li's voice came from outside the encirclement.

”Is Ewen with you?” Hao Qiang hadn't seen her since just now.

”Ewen, isn't she with you?” Lei Li was stunned. He had always thought that the female lead, Ewen, would be with the male lead, Hao Qiang.

”Not good, quickly go find her.” Hao Qiang cursed inwardly and quickened his pace.

When those people saw that he had increased his speed, his coordination became even tighter and more difficult to deal with.

Hao Qiang frowned. He could not continue wasting time like this. One more second and Ewen Wen would be in danger.

Seeing Hao Qiang being trapped, the three people outside started to panic.

Now that they had heard the news of her disappearance, their hearts trembled. Especially Qi Mengxi, her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

”Don't worry, Lei Li went to find her. He'll definitely find her.” Han Ziyan consoled him when she saw his sad appearance. As for Hao Qiang, she had managed to divert most of the other party's attention, making it a lot easier for her.

However, these people had been pestering her to protect the two people with no superpowers. Thus, she didn't have the time to activate her superpower to help Hao Qiang.

You can only rely on yourself. As Han Ziyan looked at the surrounding Hao Qiang, he silently thought to himself.

”Hao Qiang!” Suddenly, the silent Han Ziyun screamed.

Qi Mengxi looked in unconsciously and saw a dark red liquid spurt out from Hao Qiang's chest with a ”peng” sound. All the assassinations stopped as they heard the gunshot.

There was someone sniping from afar! This was something no one had expected!

Hao Qiang was stunned as he looked at the blood spurting out from his chest. Then, he collapsed to the ground.

”Hao Qiang!” Qi Mengxi and Han Ziyan shouted in unison as they rushed towards the encirclement.

The two of them had never felt that the journey was so far. Each step and second felt like four seasons had passed. The first step felt like a century, and the delay was probably an eternal regret.

It was only when the two of them reached out their hands to touch the body that was still hot and wet that they were sure the scene before them was real.

The man who had always been acting cool and handsome in front of them, but was the first one to stand in front of them in any kind of danger, had truly fallen in front of them!

With trembling hands, Qi Mengxi pulled Hao Qiang's upper body into her embrace and carefully placed her fingers under his nose … I really don't have a breath...

”Hao Qiang, stand up. Don't scare me!”
