Volume 2: Flourishing Chapter 66: Ledger

  "Watch it, you little stinker!"

  Just as Su Lin was about to be hit by the two thugs, Han Xiao couldn't hide anymore. With a handgun with only one bullet in her hand and limping on one foot, she rushed out.

  She aimed the pistol at the little thug closest to Su Lin, just as she was about to pull the trigger, but unexpectedly, in a flash, Su Lin dodged the pincer attack of the two thugs with an impossible speed, almost like teleportation.

  Bang! Bang...

  Right after that, Su Lin charged at the two thugs' chests, one by one, and punched them heavily. The two thugs were caught off guard by Su Lin's heavy blow, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground in pain, wailing "ahh yo ahh yo".

  "What's going on?"

  The yellow dog was originally waiting to watch the excitement, in his opinion, Su Lin facing his two subordinates must be dead. But he didn't expect that Su Lin would turn the tables instantly, and Han Xiao also ran out with a gun.

  "Fire quickly and kill them..."

  Those two little rascals were taken care of by Su Lin, and Han Xiaoxiao immediately turned the muzzle towards Huang Gouz. Without saying a word, she fired a shot at Huang Gouz's forehead. However, at this moment, Han Xiaoxiao felt a severe pain in her left leg wound, lost her balance, and fell forward. The muzzle deviated, missing Huang Gouz and hitting the wall corner instead.

  Just as Han Xiao was about to shoot Huang Gouz at point-blank range, the sound of a handgun misfiring was heard, indicating that there were no more bullets.

  "Damn it, you stinky bitch, you still want to shoot me? Watch how I'll play you to death..."

  A gunshot rang out, and Huang Gouz also had a pale face, frightened. Fortunately, Han Xiao missed the shot, fortunately, Han Xiao only had one bullet left, otherwise, today Huang Gouz's life would have been lost here.

  "What else are you looking at? You two, go catch that kid... No... first give him a shot, don't kill him, shoot his leg, make his leg useless, see how he can still be arrogant?"

  Han Xiao had no bullets left, and there were still three people with three handguns on their side. Huang Gouzi was fearless, even if Su Lin was a good fighter, what could he do? Could he be faster than bullets?

  "Kid, you're out of luck..."

  Liu Zhuzi listened to the order and had just raised his gun, aiming at Su Lin's leg, when suddenly Su Lin appeared right in front of him.

  "Ouch... it hurts so much!"

  With a cracking sound, Su Lin exerted force with both hands and twisted the hand that Liu Zhuzi was holding the gun with. The gun fell to the ground with a clang.

  "Laughing sister, continue..."

  One swift motion later, Su Lin deftly caught Liu Zhuzi's falling handgun and tossed it over to Han Xiaoxiao.

  Of course, Su Lin's extremely swift movements in the eyes of others were actually achieved under the circumstances where time was paused by him. However, Su Lin also discovered that after using his ability to pause time, even when he didn't pause time, his reaction speed had increased a lot.

  "No! Can't let those women get the gun... Quick, shoot her dead..."

  Han Xiao's marksmanship, Huang Gouzi had experienced it before, so he himself led another thug, all of them pointing their guns at Han Xiao, pulling the trigger, two bullets flew rapidly towards Han Xiao on the ground.

  "Oh no!"

  At this point, Su Lin also felt a pang of regret. Originally, he had intended to throw the gun to Han Xiaoxiao and let her take care of one of the thugs. But unexpectedly, he ended up drawing the attention of the thugs towards Han Xiaoxiao instead. Now two bullets were heading straight for Han Xiaoxiao's body, and if things went as expected, she would definitely not survive being shot.

  At that moment, Han Xiaoxiao also felt the two bullets shot. A sigh in her heart, could it be that her life would end here? She had just graduated from police academy not long ago, and there were still many bad guys she hadn't caught yet, how could she stop here?

  Unwilling! Han Xiao's heart was screaming, she was the best female soldier in the history of Huaxia Police Academy, and during her school days, she had won numerous first-class merits and countless second-class and third-class merits. The number of thugs and criminals she had caught could fill a prison.

  But why did I have to die here today?

  In front of Han Xiao, was the treacherous smile of Huang Gouzi. Han Xiao hated that she couldn't kill this scum earlier, but now she was going to die at his hands. As a people's police officer, for such a socially harmful scum, Han Xiao would catch one whenever she saw one, absolutely not letting them off. This time, if it wasn't for the "Eagle Dog Plan" undercover operation in the Longhu Gang, perhaps all of the thugs in the Longhu Gang would have been caught by Han Xiao.

  In front of Han Xixi, Su Lin's worried and anxious gaze made her feel extremely regretful. Why did she waste so much time talking nonsense with Su Lin? Why didn't she let him escape quickly before Huang Gouzzi caught up? Su Lin was innocent! He was just a high school student, although Han Xixi had no idea why he ended up here and got entangled in the struggle between the Dragon and Tiger gangs. But now, Han Xixi knew that after she got shot, Su Lin would definitely not be able to escape unscathed either.

  Despair! Helplessness! Powerlessness! Is it just going to be abandoned like this?

  Han Xiao had never felt so powerless before. In the past, she always thought that nothing could get to her. At police school, she was known as the "Golden Rose with Thorns", and even the martial arts instructors would have to admit defeat at her hands. At the police station, she was also known as the "Iron Maiden", not giving anyone any face, and if you crossed her, be prepared to spend ten days or half a month in the hospital!

  Han Xiaoxiao, born into a martial arts family, had always wanted to be an honorable people's police officer as her lifelong wish. She used her abilities to catch all the bad guys in this world. But today, her great wish has just begun, and the bad guys are still at large. How could she die like this?

  "Sorry, Grandpa! Xiaoxiao can't fulfill the promise to you... The martial arts you taught Xiaoxiao are of no use anymore..."

  It's too late, Han Xixi has already felt the sharpness of the bullet. At this moment, death is about to arrive, and in her mind, she sees the trajectory of her life flashing before her eyes.

  She was born into a martial arts family, although her parents died young, she had the care of her grandparents, especially her grandfather taught her Wing Chun, took her to police school, must catch all the bad guys in the world, no longer let others be harmed by bad people like her parents.

  To become a people's police officer, to punish evil and promote good, to capture criminals. Although there are guns and bullets everywhere, danger lurks around every corner, but Han Xiao has never regretted it. Even now, when she is about to lose her life under the gangster's gun, even if given another 10,000 chances, she would still choose to be a glorious people's police officer.

  But Han Xiao was regretful. Growing up, she still didn't have someone she liked. It's said that liking someone is a beautiful thing. Falling in love with someone means you'd sacrifice everything for her. But why? For over twenty years, how come there wasn't anyone who loved her?

  Han Xixi is a detective, but she's also a woman who had dreams of being kissed by a white knight when she was little. However, for a very long time, she hasn't had such fantasies anymore. She often thinks that perhaps her life is just like this, passing through the never-ending pursuit of bad guys! This is her mission!

  Forget it! What's the use of thinking about these things again?

  Bullets whizzed by, Han Xiao had already closed her eyes in despair, both her mind and body were prepared for death.

  But at this moment, Han Xiao felt that someone suddenly hugged herself up, the speed was so fast that it was unspeakable.

  "Be careful..."

  That's right, this person is Su Lin. At such a critical moment, there was no other way out, and even if time was suspended, Han Xixi would still be dead without a doubt.

  The moment he heard the gunshot, Su Lin had already decisively paused time. Then, in one swift motion, he stepped forward and swept Han Xiaoxiao into a princess carry before the bullets could reach them. He then shifted a few steps to the side, dodging the two fatal shots.

  "Hmm... that was close! Luckily I, your lordship, have a lifesaving trick up my sleeve. Otherwise, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to save you today."

  Holding Han Xixi, it was a close call, and Su Lin himself was also sweating. This gun really wasn't covered, the speed of the bullets was so fast, even in this temporarily paused time situation, Su Lin looked at the two bullets suspended in mid-air and felt a chill.

  "Time Reversal!"

  Afraid of wasting too much time, Su Lin saved Han Xiaoxiao and then took the gun from Han Xiaoxiao's hand, immediately restoring time.

  Bang bang...

  Two gunshots rang out. Su Lin made a decisive move, this was his first time holding a gun, but he was very accurate. The two bullets respectively entered the chests of Huang Gouzi and Erzi.

  "Ugh... The recoil of this gun is so strong..."

  Feeling the vibration transmitted from his hand, Su Lin looked at Huang Gouz and Erzi who were shot dead by himself in front of him. His heart was also pounding rapidly. He had fired a gun, he had killed people, and what's more, he had killed two people at once.

  But Su Lin didn't regret it, his goal for sneaking in was to deal with Huang Gouzishu all along. It's just that since it was his first time killing someone, his little heart still had some shock.

  In Su Lin's arms, Han Xiao was a bit stunned. It was too shocking, everything that Su Lin brought to her was really too shocking. Obviously it was a dead end, and the bullet that couldn't be dodged at all, Han Xiao remembered when Huang Gouzzi fired the shot, Su Lin was still several steps away from herself, how could he suddenly appear by her side and hug her to dodge the bullet?

  Bullets all dodged! How fast is this?

  Moreover, after dodging the bullets, Su Lin was still able to steadily hold onto his pistol and accurately shoot down Huang Gouzizhen. This is simply too incredible.

  Especially from this angle, Han Xixi looked at Su Lin's face, the sweat dripping from his forehead was so manly, so heroic. Just now, did Su Lin really rush up to save her for her own sake? Han Xixi was a little dazed, she had always been the one saving others, but now it was she who was saved by Su Lin.

  When you love someone, you will fight for her with all your might.

  For some reason, a sentence suddenly appeared in Han Xiao's mind at this time.

  Dada...

  Just then, the sound of Lin Luo's footsteps came from inside the corridor, accompanied by the voices of many young hooligans.

  "Not good! The gunshot must have startled the thugs inside. We'd better leave quickly..."

  Hearing the footsteps coming quickly, Su Lin secretly thought it was bad and hugged Han Xixi to run towards the staircase exit.

  "No! Su Lin, I haven't gotten the account book yet, I have to go get it!"

  Anyway, the yellow dog has been killed by him, Su Lin's purpose of sneaking into the Dragon and Tiger Gang this time has been achieved, but Han Xiao pointed to the entrance of another passage and said to Su Lin.
