Chapter 611 - Happy To Meet You, Maam (2/2)

“You don’t want to know the answer to that,” Zhang Heng replied. The next moment, he dropped down from Radish and hid behind it.

The sheriff’s reaction was quick. Having not the time to pull out his pistol from his waist, he drew Zhang Heng’s revolver from its holster and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Unfortunately, it wasn’t loaded.

The scene where Zhang Heng fell to the ground after getting shot would remain only an imagination. At the same time, a knife was placed against the sheriff’s throat.

“Did you really think I would have handed you a loaded revolver, sheriff?” scoffed Zhang Heng.

After he successfully threatened the sheriff, he quickly hid behind him. Radish was still blocking Joseph, and as a result, the deputy could not take his aim at Zhang Heng no matter how sharp of a marksman he was. Zhang Heng did a quick take at the terrain, then dragged the sheriff to the back of a giant stone, drawing out the sheriff’s revolver at the same time.

“Do you know what you are doing?” The sheriff asked, panting.

“Of course, one of my specialties is that I always know what I’m doing.”

“For a child, you are willing to turn into a wanted criminal?”

Zhang Heng laughed when he heard those words. “Take a wild guess here. When I stand before the judge, don’t you think the jury might be interested in that hidden side of yours? I don’t know what the h.e.l.l you did with Matthew, but you obviously have a more sordid past than mine. You know, you should work on your lying, sheriff. Now, I don’t think you will escalate this matter. Am I right?”

The sheriff was rendered speechless.

“Also, if you don’t want to watch that child die on the rock wall, I advise you to ask him to put down his gun and surrender.”

Right after Zhang Heng said that he heard the sound of a horse galloping from afar, Wendy and Lighting were back at the entrance of the river valley.

“How is that possible?”

The sheriff and Zhang Heng were bewildered.

Wendy was also taken aback when she saw what was happening. She almost dropped the revolver in her hand.

“Why are you here?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Ah, didn’t you give me the revolver to take care of the enemy and to help you out?” Wendy was at a loss.

“Did you kill deputy sheriff Joseph?! Wait, since when did I ask you to kill him? I gave you the revolver to protect yourself, in case that guy had some malicious intent.”

“You blinked at me, and I thought it was a signal to do it.”

Zhang Heng was at a loss too. Initially, he planned to save Wendy after dealing with the problem here. Since Wendy was now here, he decided to kill the sheriff and the gunman in one go.

“Also, I didn’t kill that guy. I just tied him up and left him where there was no one.” Wendy then said to the sheriff, “I hoped when you told me that there are no wolves and bears here, it is not a lie. Otherwise, you are probably going to pay the price for your lies.”

Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Wendy didn’t kill the young deputy sheriff. In other words, it was not too late to change the plan. He realized that Wendy was different from the ordinary girl. At such times, ordinary people would choose to treat the gun as a last resort. However, Wendy took the initiative to attack her enemy, but she also rushed back to “rescue” him. Zhang Heng could not reprimand her for it and could only sigh in the end.

“You are really braver than I thought, ma’am.”
