Is Mr. Ling doing well today?

The group returned overnight from Port J, and it was already noon on the second day when they arrived in City G.

After reassuring Zara with Ling Xuan, Liang Zhao took the frightened child to the hospital for a physical examination, and then stopped by the private courtyard next door to visit Jian Anning.

Dr. Jian, who always gave people the illusion of daily affairs, was leaning seriously in front of the solid wood boss's desk, mediating the aftermath of friends who had just made a big fuss.

There are complex forces behind most human trafficking cases, and the root of the crime cannot be cleared up by the police in one or two actions.It can only be known from the impatient corner of Boss Jane's mouth when talking on the phone that this incident must have brought him a lot of hatred.

Liang Zhao finally waited until the brows of the boss lowered slightly, sat on the sofa with his back straight, raised his wrist and poured a cup of tea for himself, and asked the other party in a low voice.

"Getting into trouble for you?"

"You don't need to worry about things that have been expected a long time ago. I can handle my troubles by myself."

Jian Anning snorted wearily, adjusted her body shape and folded her two long legs on the table, took out a cigar and lit it, took a deep breath, and breathed out the smoke before continuing.

"On the contrary, you and Ling Xuan had an accident just after showing up in Hong Kong. Neither of them are fools. In order to prevent retaliation, you still have to take people away quickly, and it is safest to sneak back to the country."

Liang Zhao took a sip of his tea, tidied his cuffs slowly, and nodded in response: "Well, he doesn't have a long vacation left, and he's already making preparations for his return flight."

"What about you?"

Jian Anning raised her eyelids, her eyes fell directly on the person beside the sofa, her expression was dim and unclear, and the tone of her mouth was obviously full of teasing.

"I have met a lot of active people, and it's the first time to be chased. I think you, a guy who is wrong, can't stand loneliness, and it's not good to continue to be pure-hearted and ascetic. Let's go back together. This film The desolate and charming continent, in the end, belongs only to me.”

The doctor in a white coat tapped the cigarette butt twice, stretched his muscles and bones in the large swivel chair, and let out a lazy and slow sigh.

Liang Zhao didn't open his mouth to speak, but only bent the corners of his lips with bright eyes, which was regarded as acquiescing.

Without his making a sound, Jian Anning knew that this man had made up his mind to go, and asked with a sneer when he planned to leave.

"Just a few days." Liang Zhao replied indifferently.After all, everything you want to do has been done, and you can set off after booking the ticket.

Jian Anning got up suddenly, put down her legs and stretched her arms forward, flicked the electronic calendar on the desktop, thought for a while and said: "Then you all go back and have a rest, tomorrow night is just free, we will have dinner together then. Rice, I will help you practice it.”

Liang Zhao did not refuse, nodded in agreement, put down the porcelain cup, poured the remaining brown tea soup into the tea sink on the table, and then got up to leave.

The farewell banquet that Jian Anning said was held in the farm, and it might be more appropriate to call it a small barbecue reception rather than a farewell meal.

In order to express her gratitude, Teacher Amy specially prepared a large table of local dishes, but Ling Xuan's Chinese stomach is not used to it.

Samuel and other workers brought privately stored alcohol from Jane Anning's small warehouse.A short glass with ice, hot brandy and mellow cream are mixed together, and the whole night is full of restless African taste.

After halfway through the meal, the drinking situation gradually became rough, and the amarula elephant wine used for appetizers was replaced by strong bourbon whiskey.

Before the end of the party, Dr. Jian, under the banner of hospitality, unceremoniously put down all the friends who were about to say goodbye, and sent someone to drive them back to the laboratory building until very late.

Liang Zhao woke up in his own room, and when he opened his eyes, Ling Xuan's head was still resting on his arm.

The thick eyelashes of the young man are close at hand, as if they can be touched with a light breath.However, Liang Zhao had no bad intentions, he just tilted his head slightly and glanced at the time on the watch.

Sure enough, it was early morning.

The memory of last night's drunken hangover was hazy in my mind. As I got older, my self-discipline ability also declined.

Liang Zhao gently lifted the person who was still pillowed on him, slowly pulled out the arm that was pressed unconscious, and pulled the thin quilt on the bed to cover him, before turning around and going up to the top floor to wash and change clothes.

It's been a long time since I drank alcohol recklessly. When I got up, my neck was sore and I had a headache that was beyond words.

Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking apart from downstairs.

Standing in front of the mirror, Liang Zhao suddenly stopped wiping his face with water, and let the water drop freely from his jaw, his eyes subconsciously fell out of a small window in the bathroom.

This old building is extremely remote, and it was completely used as an undisturbed recuperation and research place in the past.A large area nearby is covered with dense forest and mountain roads, and no one will set foot in it at all, let alone make such a movement early in the morning.

Even when he just sobered up, Liang Zhao's thoughts flashed several times within a few seconds, and then he vaguely had some ominous premonitions.

beast?robber?Seeking revenge? ...In short, nothing good will happen.

The vigilant researcher tore off the towel hanging from the shelf, wiped his face casually, turned around and went to the nearest monitoring room to check the external environment.

The surveillance camera at the gate that was transferred directly showed the entire piece of messy snow patterns, and even the anti-theft lock on the first floor showed that it was in an [outage] state of power interruption.

Liang Zhao is absolutely sure that something happened here.

Quickly typing on the keyboard with his hands, all the surveillance cameras in the building are displayed in real time in the form of 36 grids.With just such a cursory glance, there are at least three or four screens where a strange figure is seen walking up the stairs.

The next second, the network was interrupted.

The entire wide display screen was pitch black, the alarm device was destroyed together, and even the mobile phone signal was completely blocked at this moment.

I came prepared.

Liang Zhao couldn't help frowning at such a watertight way of doing things.Ling Xuan's sleeping face flashed across his mind, and he became more and more worried. He couldn't care about anything else, so he could only go downstairs as quickly as possible to wake him up again.

The elevator stopped running, and figures approaching could be seen from the cracks in the stairs of the safe passage in Building A. The gangsters who broke in had dispersed and infiltrated to the second and third floors.

Liang Zhao immediately made a detour to Block B, and went straight to the rest room where Ling Xuan was.However, when he arrived, there was also an intruder here.

He hid behind the wall and looked into the bedroom from a distance. The person who was sleeping soundly on the bed had disappeared, but the folds on the quilt were clearly visible.

Seeing the two gunmen searched the bedroom, opened the door and left, and searched elsewhere, the coldness in Liang Zhao's eyes faded a bit.

Where will Ling Xuan go?Is he sober?This uneasy state of mind disturbed the whole person's thoughts.

Judging from the posture just now, the opponent is coming aggressively. If it is really a group of desperadoes who have just lost their interests, then their purpose for this move is really diverse.Kidnapping for ransom, demonstrations and intimidation, and even direct vendettas are all possible.

With a stomach full of doubts, Liang Zhao left the unsafe hiding place and walked forward along the long corridor, looking for Ling Xuan while avoiding pursuit.

The group of gangsters who were searching separately had guns and knives with them, and the exact number was unknown. Being tough was not an option, and leaving the building swaggeringly to cover would be death.

It seems that the two sides can only engage in a special "hide-and-seek" game, trying to find a way to delay time.

"hiss--"

The sound of a black snake spitting out a letter rang in his ears, Liang Zhao leaned his back against the load-bearing wall of the lobby on the third floor and looked up, and saw the figure he had been worried about for a long time above his head.

Ling Xuan stepped on the handrail of the stairs and sat on the iron railing on the fourth and a half floors. Obviously, he had figured out what happened here.

Unlike the worried scene, his pair of clear black eyes were as clear as ever, and his whole body was unscathed, and he was looking down condescendingly.

They actually switched floors.

It turned out that both of them wanted to reach each other as quickly as possible when danger occurred, but this silent tacit understanding made their situation awkward.

All the passable stairs between Blocks A and B on the third and fourth floors were blocked, and the bandit squad, whose numbers and combat effectiveness were unknown, might find their traces at any time, and it was a dilemma at this time.

[Don't move, I'll go over. ]

Ling Xuan raised his index finger to his lips, made a booing motion, moved his lips, and silently lip-synced.

Before Liangzhao could respond, he had already stepped over the safety railing and stepped on a steel bar less than 10cm wide.

be careful!

Liangzhao couldn't say what he said, he could only watch helplessly as the slender legs who were more than ten meters away from him took tiny steps and moved slowly towards the place four and a half floors high in the air.

The steel plate was still narrowing, and Ling Xuan's figure trembled in the sky for a moment.Liang Zhao frowned, unable to wait any longer, he also stepped out of the guardrail, grabbed the handrail at the other end and leaned out as hard as he could.

[Takes my hand. ]

The fingertips of the two touched twice in the extremely dangerous high altitude.

There were chaotic voices and footsteps from the stairs not far away.In these background sounds, Liang Zhao touched the wet sweat in Ling Xuan's palm, and even heard his accelerated heartbeat.

Ling Xuan stood on tiptoe wearing casual sneakers, rubbed a little towards the narrowest part of the steel bar, and handed the hand to Liang Zhao.

"I got them!"

The sudden hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall.

Liang Zhao lowered his head slightly, and saw three bandits who covered their faces detoured and chased them up.In desperation, he didn't care about taking risks, he stretched his arms forward and shouted at Ling Xuan.

"Jump!"

The person on the opposite side hardly hesitated, following Liang Zhao's pulling force, he jumped desperately, and the whole person flew forward completely into the air, and threw himself into his firm embrace.

Liang Zhao made an emergency response in an instant, hugged Ling Xuan vigorously, retreated to the floating platform, and lay down on the ground to protect the person in his arms.

Almost at the same second, the steel plate behind the two of them was shot wildly.The shrapnel flew and made a loud crackling sound.

"stand up."

After rolling for two weeks, Liang Zhao stabilized his body, carried Ling Xuan on his shoulders and rushed down the stairs in the rain of bullets to avoid the attack.

Because the narrow steel-reinforced passageway between the two floors was destroyed, the gangsters were temporarily unable to catch up. Liang Zhao and Ling Xuan escaped the pursuit again.

"This group of people is completely aimed at the two of us. Go to the bulletproof basement first."

Liang Zhao kept walking, and while pulling Ling Xuan through the winding corridor on the second floor, he told him the only feasible evacuation plan.

Ling Xuan frowned and hesitated, "But if you want to enter the basement, you have to go down to the first floor, and they should have been guarded by their people long ago."

"There is no other way now, once it is blocked, it will never run away."

Liang Zhao suddenly pinched Ling Xuan's shoulders with both hands, made him face the deep end of the long corridor, stared at him with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We will pass through within 3 minutes. Relax, and then follow , try to protect yourself, okay?"

In the quiet environment, one could hear Ling Xuan's exhalation trying to adjust himself, and he nodded after a while.

"Ah."

"Get ready... 3, 2, 1, let's go!"

After the words fell, both of them rushed into the most dangerous main hall on the first floor with the fastest speed.Almost the moment he showed up, the sound of bullets being loaded rang in his ears.

"One on the high platform at 15 o'clock, three at 6 o'clock..."

When Ling Xuan reminded loudly, Liang Zhao had already knocked down one of the gangsters with a punch, and started a scuffle with the other two who were not holding guns.

The skills of these gangsters are not bad, not the level that can be subdued with three punches and two kicks, Ling Xuan is even hard to distinguish with one of them, and Liang Zhao is completely restrained in one hit and two, unable to separate himself.

A gangster took advantage of the chaos and wanted to pick up the firearm dropped by his companion. Liang Zhao only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and felt bad. Regardless of the aggressive opponent in front of him, he turned around and gave Ling Xuan a strong shove.

"Get out of the way!"

bang bang-

Whoa——

The sound of the gunshot and the sound of the dagger cutting flesh were mixed together. Liang Zhao only felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to press it down, and the warm and rusty liquid soaked the clothes and seeped out along the fingers.

"Good job?!"

Ling Xuan only watched Liang Zhao get injured, and didn't notice that he was still under someone else's gun.

Liang Zhao clasped the back of the neck of the gangster beside him with all his strength, knocking him unconscious against the wall.Then at the last moment, he strode forward, grabbed the hemostat on the shelf with his scarlet-stained fingers, and pressed it against the throat of the last gunman.

"do not move."

Liang Zhao's expression was extremely indifferent, as if he had no pain or sorrow or joy, but in fact his heart was extremely nervous.

He didn't know how the enemy's marksmanship was, and he wasn't sure if he could successfully prevent this guy from pulling the trigger and hitting Ling Xuan with his current state.

"Hold your gun steady and don't shake your hands, or I promise you..."

The knife in Liangzhao's abdomen was continuously gushing blood, but he continued to speak indifferently, with clanging characters.

"You're gonnafu-ckingdie...right now."

I will let you see Hades immediately.
