Chapter 317 have to die (2/2)
Lin Hui stares at the drunken man in frustration, then the group of men. He pout his lip and asks in a low voice.
”Xu Long, what in the world did you get yourself into?”
He had finished three cigarettes while waiting for the man. When another ten minutes passed and he did not see Xu Long, he thought the man might have passed out in the restroom, so he came to check. However, he did not expect to see a fight break out and the man being the victim dodging every fists and feet thrown his way!
Thinking of Lin Hui's question, Xu Long giggles and points to the woman. He gives the man a puppy eye look and slouch his shoulders.
”I wanted to be the hero who saves the beauty…”
”….”
Lin Hui felt his brain was going to burst from all the dumbfounded emotions Xu Long has been giving him in one night. He looks down at his feet and sighs inside. Why did he throw one of his shoes at the man? Now he's only left with one and the other bare.
”Hey! You two better prepare yourselves!”
The man Lin Hui kicked stood from the ground and toss the sock in his mouth away. He is annoyed that Lin Hui and Xu Long acted like they were not here at all. Not only that, he recieved such humiliation in front of his friends!
However, given their situation, both men were doomed the moment they cross paths with each other. He had more peoople while the other side only had two of them.
Lin Hui looks at the man and he frown. All the men were indeed sons of prominent families. He recognized their faces because of Liu Shan. Before moving to Imperial, the man had sent him a list of people in Imperial and these men were on that list.
He shift his gaze to the woman, and he pinch the space between his forehead. God dammit! She was also on that list!
Taking a deep breath, he murmur to Xu Long while keeping his eyes on the men.
”Xu Long, there's five men total. I'll handle the 3 on the right. You take care of the other 2.”
Hearing this, Xu Long gives his comrade a grin and thumbs up.
”Two? Hic* Piece of cake!”
Lin Hui stares at the man next to him and he didn't whether to laugh or cry. With the way Xu Long is at this moment, he can see that the man can barely stand straight.
Remembering Xu Long's landing earlier, Lin Hui wanted to cry, but lacked the tears to shed.
He quickly brush the thought away and looks back to the men. It's not the time to worry about Xu Long's landing. They are in a more difficult situation right now.
Both men takes a deep breath at the same time and charge towards the five men. Their mouth open and they yell with all their might as they face their enemy head on. The expression on both their faces was nothing but confidence. Like they were ancient heroes in the battlefield ready to defend their country.
Lin Hui: ”Arhhhh—!!”
Xu Long: ”Arhhh—!!”
In that very moment, just when they were 3 feet away from the five men, their eyes widens in terror. Their steps quickly slows down to a screeching stop.
Watching the two men charge at them, none of the five men made a move. Each person sneering as they already know what was coming.
Behind them, a vast crowd of men suddenly appear out of nowhere. Each person charging towards Lin Hui and Xu Long with their own weapons.
Lin Hui's heroic expression was now replaced with panic and fear. At his side, Xu Long was no different.
Like time had suddenly slow down, the sound of opera music plays in the background. Lin Hui stretch his arm out in slow motion and grabs the back of Xu Long's collar. He pulls the drunk man as he turns them around.
Lin Hui: ”Ahhh—”
Xu Long: ”Ahhh—”
Unlike their crouching tiger roar earlier, they are now roaring for their lives in the opposite direction. Both their expression's scrunch in terror.
As time returned for them, Lin Hui drags Xu Long and head for the nightclub's exit. Both individuals jumps and hops over obstacles and the crowd entering. Their movements were like professional free runners as they forgot they had just taken down gangsters sent after their boss/lady boss.
Quickly as it came, the loud footsteps and yelling subdues, no one was in sight except for the woman and the unconscious Hongyi.
The woman Xu Long saved was at a loss for all words. She could not believe what just happened. Everything felt like a dream for her.
”There you are! I've been looking all over for you!”
Suddenly a blonde hair woman calls out as the sound of her clacking heels follows. She runs over to her friend and gasp midway when she saw the unconscious man on the floor.
”W-What happened?”
The woman looks at her blonde hair friend and she finally returns to her consciousness.
”I….I…”
”You what? What is it?”
The blond hair stares at her friend with worry and panic. Her friend is a beautiful woman and from a powerful family, but after meeting the sweet and romantic Hongyi, it wasn't until later that the abuse started happening. Afraid the man will ruin her and her family with ill intentions, she stayed in the abusive relationship for years. She even chopped her hair into a pixi hairstyle so Hongyi won't be able to pull her hair.
However… after years of being in the abusive relationship, she finally found the strength to leave the man.
The blonde hair woman looks at her friend then the unconscious man. Did she kill Hongyi in self-defense?
The woman does not say a word. She looks at her friend, then stares in the direction Xu Long and Lin Hui had left.
After a long minute in silence, she finally answers her blond hair friend's question.
”I… I think I just feel in love…”
