Turning around, Moses strode towards the car, his assistant scurrying over to open the door for him.
After Moses had taken a seat, his assistant sat in the co-pilot’s seat, then reached out to lightly wave a finger towards the direction of the woods.
The car drove away from the seashore, and from within the woods, Qiao Liang watched Moses through the gaps in the leaves, then immediately turned and headed towards where he had left his own car.
After only a few steps, two figures flashed before him, blocking his way.
"Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt you two!"
Qiao Liang spread his hands in front of the men and turned to run back, but two more figures appeared behind him, both holding guns.
With no escape possible, Qiao Liang exhaled softly and then lifted the corners of his lips towards them.
"Alright, you win. My wallet is in my jacket pocket, there is some cash inside, as well as a few cards. I can give you the PINs..."
As he raised his hand towards his pocket, before he could touch his suit, one of the men had already pointed a gun at his forehead, and he withdrew his hand with a smile.
"Don’t shoot, just tell me where to go, and I’ll go!"
The man jerked his chin slightly, and Qiao Liang turned around, raising his hands and walking out of the woods.
After a few steps forward, seizing his opportunity, he suddenly crouched down, grabbed the wrist holding the gun from the man behind him, pushed him aside forcefully, and dashed into the woods.
The pursuers had not anticipated his sudden resistance, and by the time they reacted, Qiao Liang had already rushed into the woods.
One of the minions raised the gun to aim at him, but the leader pushed the minion’s arm away.
"Don’t shoot, the boss wants him alive! Chase him!"
Qiao Liang ran like the wind, bursting out of the woods and onto the highway...
On the highway, the red car moved slowly forward, with the beautiful girl at the wheel looking around vigilantly while driving.
Noticing the figure rushing out from the woods, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Lu Ziliang, you bastard..."
"Stop, or I’ll shoot!"
Angry shouts came from the woods, and then four men in black also chased out of the woods.
Seeing this, Chu Xinqing’s face changed dramatically. She immediately floored the accelerator towards Qiao Liang and flung the car door open.
"Aliang, get in the car quick!"
Qiao Liang, with no time to be surprised by her arrival, turned and ran towards the car. Just as he neared the side of the car, the lead man furrowed his brow, raised his gun, aimed at Qiao Liang’s leg, and pulled the trigger.
The bullet left the chamber, hitting Qiao Liang’s calf. The pain shot through his leg, and he fell to the ground.
Chu Xinqing screamed, turned the car sharply around, and sped towards him.
As Qiao Liang turned to look at the people emerging from the woods, he immediately turned back towards the men, raised his hand, and waved at her.
The men pounced, grabbing hold of Qiao Liang.
"Go... find someone to rescue me!"
Pinned down by the men, Qiao Liang still yelled at Chu Xinqing with all his might.
Seeing one of them raise a gun towards her, Chu Xinqing slammed the accelerator, the car reversed wildly onto the highway, and sped off into the distance with a screech.
The man in black aimed to shoot at her car, but as soon as Qiao Liang was dragged to his feet, he threw himself recklessly at the man, knocking him aside with all his strength.
The bullet fired, grazing past Chu Xinqing’s car window.
Watching Qiao Liang fall to the ground, Chu Xinqing gritted her teeth, engaged the forward gear, and pushed the accelerator to the floor. The car sped away, shrouded in exhaust fumes.
The chief among the men in black walked forward, pressed the gun to the side of Qiao Liang’s neck.
