822 A Million Times for You 184 (1/2)

The barbarians had almost caught up with him while he was answering Xiao Bai's call.

While waiting for Fan Shixin, An Xiaoning had already torn up the bottom segment of her shirt. Due to the fact that she was in a hurry to rush out earlier, she didn't bring anything to mask her face and was simply dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts. Hence, she had no choice but to tear off some fabric from her shirt to tie around her face, leaving her abdomen bare and exposed.

The people chasing her were exhausted beyond limits. They slowed down to catch their breaths upon noticing that she had stopped running.

One of the men inside the car alighted and asked in puzzlement, ”What's going on? Weren't we chasing a man? Why has he become a woman? Are they in cahoots?”

An Xiaoning could recognize the familiar voice: it was from one of the men whom she had heard in the wooden house previously.

”Hah, you can't even differentiate between a man and a woman. Are you blind?” An Xiaoning sneered.

A grave expression formed on their faces as soon as An Xiaoning blurted those words, especially the Third Brother, the man who alighted from the car. ”You ignorant dimwit.” He then yelled at his accomplices, ”Hold her down and get her!”

They had no choice but to follow the orders given, despite being utterly exhausted. An Xiaoning remained still and watched calmly as they approached.

There were trees on one side of the road and a trench on the other, which was about 40 meters deep.

She was planning to throw all of them down into the trench.

She had no idea if it would kill them. However, all she wanted was for her and Fan Shixin to escape successfully.

Just as An Xiaoning was pushing the dog-tired bunch of people down the trench, the Third Brother could not tolerate it any longer and aimed his gun at her.

”Freeze!”

”I won't move, come and catch me if you can,” An Xiaoning said fearlessly.

”Both of you, bring her here,” the Third Brother instructed his two remaining subordinates.

The two were overwhelmed with fear and terror after witnessing what An Xiaoning did to their subordinates. Yet, they could not defy the Third Brother's orders. They approached An Xiaoning and reached their trembling hands out to her, only to have her slap them away.

There was no suspense at all.

The Third Brother was the only one left on the road, the gun in his hands. He did not plan to catch her back alive anymore and instead shot her right away. Coincidentally, An Xiaoning managed to dodge the bullet in the nick of time.

Just as he was about to fire the second bullet, Fan Shixin jumped down from the tree and pinned the Third Brother down onto the ground.

An Xiaoning immediately ran toward him, after which the Third Brother turned over and pinned Fan Shixin beneath him. An Xiaoning quickly took the chance to stab the Third Brother in his neck.

He fell toward the side instantly.

She plucked the knife out and pushed him and his car down into the trench.

The silence was finally restored on the road.

An Xiaoning helped Fan Shixin up. He gave her a thumbs-up and praised in awe, ”Bravo, Young Madam!”

”We have to get out of here now. Hurry, let's go.”

”Alright.”

During their journey back, Fan Shixin told her that he was initially being extremely cautious when following the Second Brother and the rest and did not alarm them at the start. However, his cover was blown the moment he came into contact with infrared beams, causing them to take chase after him.

The fact that cars were scarce in the nation and that gang leaders were the only ones who could drive them had given Fan Shixin the chance to escape.
