Chapter 55 (1/2)

“Lower your head. Without my permission, you are not allowed to raise it.” As he said that, he whipped out the gun he stole from Xia Mutong and casually took out the cartridge. There are eight bullets inside, that should be enough.

“What are you planning on doing?”

Nanrong Wanqing was not someone who never went out in the world, but Ling Chen’s actions left her astonished. Recalling the strange words Ling Chen said to her, she felt uneasiness coursing through her heart. Moreover, regarding this matter, she was already feeling unhappy about it. She was the boss and he was the employee, so he should be guarding her safety. But instead, how did things devolve into him rescuing a hostage, something that was the responsibility of the police? Hmph, I’ll let him have it later when we get back.

However, although this Young Miss was entertaining these vengeful thoughts, deep down in the corner of her heart, the favourable impression she had towards him rose several degrees. To save someone completely unrelated to him, Ling Chen would actually brave the danger. Just this point alone was not something that ordinary people could hope to achieve.

Ling Chen grinned and gave her a reassuring glance. “Don’t worry, there will not be any danger.”

The moment he said that, his left hand that was resting on the steering wheel moved rapidly, and the car that had been going straight swerved sharply towards the left. He then pulled the hand brake and set the clutch to the reverse gear, before powerfully stepping on the accelerator.

Squeak!

As the tires made a harsh screeching noise, the Santana made a perfect bootleg turn, and the body of the car immediately turned a full 180°. The front of the Santana was now facing the front of the Mercedes-Benz.

At this moment, he swapped his hands at a lightning-fast speed, now controlling the steering wheel with his right hand, while holding the gun with his left. He stretched his left hand out of the window.

Peng!

A shot was fired, and instantly, there was a hole in the front window of the Mercedes-Benz.

With the sudden gunshot, the driver was scared out of his wits and hurriedly stepped on the brake. The Mercedes that had been charging forward screeched to a halt.

Peng! Peng!

Ling Chen showed no trace of hesitation, immediately cocking his gun and firing off two more shots.

With the loud gunshots reverberating through the air, two distinct wails of pain sounded from inside the car.

Looking at the crimson blood staining the window of the Mercedes, the corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly. He had not fired a gun for quite some time, yet his shooting was as accurate as ever, not deviating the slightest from his target. His first shot just now was to force the kidnappers to slow down their car, only the next two shots were meant to incapacitate the kidnappers. If he had directly shot at the driver with his initial bullet, it might have resulted in an accident that would have compromised the safety of the hostage.

He had his considerations when shooting and he would not aim to kill the kidnappers. He merely wanted to cause them to lose some blood and impair their movements.

After settling the two kidnappers sitting at the front, there was still one kidnapper left to go. This kidnapper was the key to stopping them.

“Stay in the car and come out.”

Ling Chen warned Nanrong Wanqing softly, before pushing open the car door and sprinting towards the Mercedes-Benz. However, before he even reached the car, he saw the door of the Mercedes being pushed open with a loud ‘swoosh”. A man wearing a Sun Wukong mask walked out, with a pistol tightly pressed against Xiao Hua’s temple.

The moment Ling Chen saw the gun, he frowned.

The Beretta 92F pistol was not available to just anyone. Moreover, the kidnapper was acting very calmly and definitely was not an ordinary person.

“You’re the police?”

The kidnapper suspiciously looked at Ling Chen and slowly asked.

“No.”

“Then why are you pitting yourself against us?”

“The girl that you kidnapped is my friend. Let her go and I’ll allow you to leave.”

“Hmph! Is there such an easy thing in the world? How about this, you let me leave with her, and I guarantee that no harm will come to her. Otherwise, I don’t mind dying alongside her.”

Ling Chen was observing the kidnapper and the vicious glint in the kidnapper’s eyes told him that the kidnapper was not joking around.
