Chapter 282 - LOTS OF THRILLS (2/2)

Hu Lei was trying to get out of the impasse. While she was restraining both of his hands, she could not let them go because he would probably attack her or reach for the gun. If she released him, she had to be sure that she could take him out.

”What do you think about the suggestion?” The man spoke again.

Hu Lei looked at Frank and her eyes narrowed.

”What does the dark side offer?” She asked.

”Lots and lots of thrills.” The man smiled. ”I can tell that you like the excitement, judging from what you did to Dr Brown.”

Hu Lei smiled. ”I can get all the thrills I want without being controlled by people. Been there, done that.”

However, she was not interested in that. She fired four rounds and emptied the clip before dropping the gun. While Frank was surprised by the turn of events, she turned her left wrist and freed herself from the grip. She also released his left hand before climbing over the couch.

She propelled herself over the back of the couch and fell on the other side. Frank was a tough opponent, and he did not seem like he was in a hurry.

”You could have stalled for a little time. I'm sure someone will be here soon to rescue you, little princess.” He said with a laugh as he stood up.

Hu Lei found the letter opener and clutched it in her hand.

”I also like my thrills. It's more satisfying to beat up someone with my own hands.” She said as she tried to look for a good angle of attack.

”I understand that.” He responded.

Hu Lei peeked from one end of the couch and she saw him taking out a small firearm from an ankle holster.

She realised why he had not been worried about losing his first firearm. He had a backup. As soon as he turned in her direction, Hu Lei did not hesitate. She did not even allow him a moment to lift his gun before aiming for his head.

This time, she did not throw the letter opener directly at his head. She allowed it to curve a little before it came back to the original trajectory.

Strangely, the man still lifted his gun and shot at her.

Without a weapon and uncertain if the pierced eye would be enough to keep the man down, Hu Lei made her first responsible decision.

She decided to escape the room. There was no advantage for continuing the fight while she was the one on the losing end.

She could get reinforcements and return to finish the job.

It was not like the guy would be going anywhere after that injury. Even if his brain was not affected, he would find it difficult to get far.
