Ran Xueyi was worried that Song Yu Han wouldn't be able to finish setting up his plans. However, her worries were unfounded as the ground underneath their feet shook and debris and dust fell into the air.
Covering her mouth and nose, Ran Xueyi guessed that Song Yu Han had successfully set explosives in the villa. With everybody distracted, the intense fight finally ceased.
The guards surrounding also had confused and alarmed expressions on their faces. What was happening?
"Hey, call the monitoring team and ask them what's happening. Is there an earthquake?"
The guard who looked like the team leader of this group hollered at the other guard on his left, who brought out a walkie-talkie from his breast pocket. However, even after talking to the walkie-talkie, no response was heard nor was it transmitted.
The leader's face instantly darkened. Then, he whipped his head to look at the three females in front of him. He said accusingly, "You… What the hell did you do?"
The leader finally guessed that what was happening in the villa had something to do with them. There was no way that they did not do something! But he wondered how they did it? Could it be that before they were surrounded, they had already infiltrated into the monitoring room?
Impossible! Mr. Qing was inside with all the remaining guards who had real guns in their possession. There was no way these females could come out alive if they dared to do it.
Then…
The leader perceived something in his mind and quickly ordered, "Get them! Capture them and make sure that they won't be able to run away. Something's happening and they're certainly connected to it."
At his order, the guards grew vigilant and tense. Their initial confusion were gone as they approached them.
Adelle and Xuan Yi was so scared and hid behind Ran Xueyi, the only person who could fight and go against these burly, scary men!
"Xueyi…"
"Ran Xueyi…"
The two grabbed onto Ran Xueyi as if they were in the middle of the sea with a single wooden log to stay afloat. Ran Xueyi sneaked a glance at them and sighed in her heart. Next time, she'll sign up Adelle to a Taekwondo training program and let her know how to fight. As her manager, Adelle cannot only know how to manage her schedule and resources, she must also know how to protect both of them.
When the guards were getting closer and closer, with some of them holding their taser guns, Ran Xueyi felt pressured. Even with her martial arts, she won't be able to take down several men by herself much less men with guns.
Just when they were in a disadvantageous position, two successive loud bangs was suddenly heard, stirring everybody's heart to jump and their eardrums to ring.
Ran Xueyi didn't know where it came from, but after seeing the guard who stood very closely towards her and the one who was beside him, keeling over to the ground, she didn't even think about it and grabbed Adelle and Xuan Yi to the side, far away from the group of guards, to where it was much safer.
Adelle and Xuan Yi were like two geese, fleeing from a chaotic environment, quacking and exercising their vocal chords.
As for Ran Xueyi, she was calmer and a tad different from how they reacted. Well, having visited the Underworld, she was able to experience a similar event, but at that time, it was Jian Yiling, who was protecting her.
"Why are you running that way! That's the direction of the gun!" Xuan Yi almost lost her mind after realizing that instead of escaping from that place, Ran Xueyi actually ran towards where the live rounds of guns were being shot.
Ran Xueyi didn't have time to explain as she was only thinking of reaching her destination.
Once she crossed the space and reached where the gun was being shot, Ran Xueyi immediately saw who was shooting the gun and rejoiced.
As expected, it was no one other than Song Yu Han!
"Miss me already?" Song Yu Han still had the same teasing smile before he left her side. "You can't wait to jump into my embrace so you even dare jump into the range of my shots?"
Of course, Song Yu Han masterfully avoided Ran Xueyi and the other two. Even though he was stunned with shock and surprise when he saw Ran Xueyi running towards him, he quickly changed his trajectory so they wouldn't be hit by a bullet.
Ran Xueyi jumped into his arms without a word and hugged him tightly.
Song Yu Han: "Hey, I was just teasing you. You don't have to–…"
But before he could continue his words, her lips came crashing into him in hot waves of pleasure plunging down to his core.
Okay, maybe he'll forgive her for trying to face the bullet with this kiss.
However, it was different for Adelle and Xuan Yi, who was gawking at the two kissing while the finger curled around the trigger continued to pull and the most surprising thing was that every pull and bullet hit the target as if the gun had its own eyes..
Within mere minute, the team of guards that surrounded and intimidated them fell to the ground as if they were marionettes whose strings were magically cut.
Ran Xueyi pulled away slightly, but did not unwind her arms that were curled around his waist. "You're ten seconds late," she admonished him.
Crinkling his eyes, Song Yu Han didn't deny it, "Yes, it took me longer to find where they hid the explosives."
Hearing this, Adelle gasped, "E-explosives?! How… how can there be explosives here?!"
Song Yu Han gladly explained to her, "They probably used this villa to hide their stash of drugs and weapons for trades, but couldn't bring them out in time because of the event today."
Upon hearing this, Adelle's face was white as a sheet of A4 bond paper. Drugs… Weapons… Just what kind of universe was she pulled in today?
Ran Xueyi also became thoughtful and looked at Song Yu Han to confirm her suspicions. A single nod was enough to confirm it.
This place, no, this entire event has something to do with the Underworld.
