That meant this felon was staring at her!
He had discovered them very quickly.
But the other party wasn’t a patient person.
Gu Qingjiu caught the subtle sound of a gun loading.
With her pupils shrinking, she instantly pounced onto Lu Ziyang, falling onto the ground with him. “He’s carrying a gun!”
Without much thought, with a bang, a bullet flew over the top of her head.
With Gu Qingjiu pouncing at him, Lu Ziyang was in a disheveled state.
But this was no time to be concerned with something as trivial as that. With their quick reflexes, they rolled a few rounds backward.
It was because that felon had followed up with a few more shots after missing that first shot.
Thankfully, they had dodged in time, or else the duo would have met their demise there.
As for Gu Qingjiu, while she was dodging those bullets, with the experience accumulated during those outdoor shooting activities, she speedily fired a few shots in the direction of the felon.
Too bad the other party was in a more advantageous position.
Gu Qingjiu could hear the few shots she fired out landing on the wall.
Amid the crossfire, she and Lu Ziyang hid in a small room and managed to stay safe for the time being.
Lu Ziyang panted as he removed his jacket and retrieved an item the size of a needle from his wristwatch.
With beads of sweat on his forehead, he said, “He discovered us quickly.”
“How could a felon like him be carrying a gun?”
Gu Qingjiu asked Lu Ziyang with a frown.
Ordinary civilians wouldn’t even get the chance to see a real gun in their lifetime. With strict controls on gun ownership in China, even the guns she came across in military school weren’t real guns. How did a felon manage to get his hands on a gun?
Lu Ziyang was choked for a moment before replying, “He snatched it when he was escaping.”
Lu Ziyang didn’t tell her the truth.
Despite his best attempts to say it in a calm voice, and that his tone was one that could be considered convincing, Gu Qingjiu’s first instinct was not to believe his words.
Regardless of whether she believed him or not, Lu Ziyang was her boss, and she had the responsibility to protect him.
Gu Qingjiu remembered that Lie Feng had once said before that Lu Ziyang was suited for commanding behind the scenes instead of joining them in outdoor missions.
The reason being he wasn’t capable of protecting himself. Besides the fact that he held a gun that could serve as some form of protection, perhaps he wasn’t even Gu Qingjiu’s match in a physical fight.
Holding the gun barrel in her hand, she instantly widened her eyes when she took out the bullets. “Only three left? Do you have backup magazines?”
She had merely fired three shots earlier.
And now there were only three bullets left in the gun.
Lu Ziyang fell silent for a moment, then felt from inside his clothes for a silver square-shaped metallic item.
One touch and that item bounced apart and instantaneously turned into a dagger.
Glistening with a silver glow, the weapon looked like one with significant wounding power.
Lu Ziyang handed the item to Gu Qingjiu. “I didn’t bring many items with me when I came out…”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
How dare he come out on a mission with no preparations in place!
Gu Qingjiu had the urge to scold someone.
But very clearly, for Lu Ziyang to be doing this, it meant that they could kill the felon directly.
The other party’s murderous intent was also very apparent.
As she and Lu Ziyang might very well die here tonight, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t be bothered to voice out her displeasure.
She slipped that dagger under her sleeve. Even though she had never used one before, she did know how to use it.
“I’m guessing he’s only carrying that one gun. Since he attacked us with that earlier, he shouldn’t have many bullets left,” Lu Ziyang speculated.
At the same time, he picked up that silver needle and handed it to Gu Qingjiu for her to see.
