Chapter Seventy-One: Gunfire and Rain of Bullets

  "Sulin, put me down and you escape alone!"

  Facing so many thugs chasing after them, Han Xixi knew that she and Su Lin couldn't escape. If it were just Su Lin alone, there might still be a glimmer of hope to get away. But with Su Lin carrying her injured self on his back, they would definitely not be able to outrun these thugs.

  "What are you talking about? Is it something that I, Su Lin, can do to abandon you here by yourself? Moreover, do you really think that after abandoning you, no one will give me directions and I'll be able to escape? In the end, won't I still get caught by them? It's better for us to fight together!"

  In front of them was a roadblock, and behind them were pursuing soldiers. Su Lin took a deep breath, his hands grasping Han Xiaoxiao's buttocks more firmly as he steeled himself and said, "I'm going to carry you on my back and make a run for it now. You must hold onto me tightly and not let go!"

  "It's impossible! Su Lin, they all have guns in their hands. They will shoot at you, you're still young, can't die... Let's surrender! Raise our hands and give up... Return the account book to them..."

  Han Xiao had long been prepared to sacrifice herself for the task since she became a detective. But Su Lin was different, he wasn't a detective, just a 17 or 18-year-old high school student, he shouldn't die here. Han Xiao now would do everything in her power to save Su Lin, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

  "Return the account book to them and they will let us go? And... once you fall into their hands, who knows what kind of humiliation you'll suffer. Xiaoxiao Jie, just trust me this one time, follow me... together... rush out..."

  As she spoke, Su Lin plucked up her courage and, with a burst of laughter from Han Xiao, pulled up her legs and ran towards the exit.

  "They're coming over..."

  "Damn it, brothers, catch them alive, especially that little bitch Han Xiaoxiao. Tiger said, after catching her, you guys can do whatever you want to her, however you want to have fun..."

  "Awesome! These bitches cheated us badly, I thought she was Tiger's woman, but it turned out to be a sneaky prostitute."

  "Alright! Brothers, take turns going up, don't be polite to her. Beat this bitch to death, last time she kicked me in the little brother, almost wiped out our lineage, this time we must severely punish her..."

  ……

  The little rascals also clearly underestimated Su Lin and Han Xiao, Su Lin was just a half-grown kid, Han Xiao had been shot in the leg, and they had been eyeing Han Xiao for more than one or two days, this time they were even more eager to catch Han Xiao and play with her at will.

  "Sulin, you run quickly, I'll hold them back..."

  Suddenly, Han Xiao laughed and exerted herself, trying to break free from Su Lin's body to cover him. But Su Lin seemed to have anticipated Han Xiao's actions, his two hands firmly grasping Han Xiao's small buttocks, no matter how hard she struggled, he refused to let her go.

  "You think you few little rascals can stop Su Daren's footsteps?"

  The little rascal in front of him was getting closer and closer. Su Lin's mouth corners slightly curved into a smile, silently muttering to himself "Time pause".

  One second, two seconds...

  For a few seconds during the pause, all the movements of the little rascals were frozen in place, including Han Xiao's back on Su Lin, and they didn't move. Only Su Lin acted freely, taking advantage of the momentum to quickly rush through the middle of the little rascals.

  "Time recovery..."

  In just a few seconds, in the eyes of others, Su Lin broke through several small hooligans' defense lines and jumped out from the midst of being surrounded.

  "What's going on? I... how did we rush out?"

  The whole time, Han Xiao felt like she was seeing stars in front of her eyes, and before she knew it, she had followed Su Lin out.

  "You fools, how did you let them get away? Chase after them quickly..."

  The little rascals behind were also bewildered, how did they suddenly escape from Su Lin. But Su Lin didn't care what these little rascals thought, he seized the time and took advantage of those little rascals who hadn't reacted yet, carrying Han Xiaoxiao to sprint towards the exit.

  "Fire! Fire quickly...... No matter what, they can't be allowed to take the account book out..."

  This voice is Yan Hu, the second-in-command of the Longhu Gang. As soon as he heard that Han Xiaoxiao was an undercover police officer, he realized something was wrong. When he also heard that the account book had been stolen, this was a huge matter. The account book recorded the secret transactions between the Longhu Gang and several high-ranking government officials. If these contents were exposed, not only would the Longhu Gang be affected, but those high-ranking officials in Jian'an City would also fall from power.

  "Fire! Brother Tiger said fire!"

  "Fire!"

  ……

  Yan Hu had spoken, and the hoodlums naturally didn't dare to disobey. They closely followed Su Lin from behind, and at this moment, they finally raised their handguns, taking aim at Su Lin and Han Xiao Xiao.

  "Sulin, it's no good, they're going to open fire..."

  Han Xixi's heart was racing with anxiety, her eyes fixed on the exit just ahead, and they would soon be able to escape the desperate situation. However, as soon as the thugs opened fire, with so many people and guns, and the passage being so narrow, even if their marksmanship was poor, she and Su Lin would definitely be hit.

  Once shot, neither she nor Su Lin would have any chance of escaping.

  "Don't be afraid, Xiaojie, they...they can't hit our..."

  Korean Xiao Xiao ran so far in one breath, Su Lin was indeed a bit out of breath. Su Lin still had more than 500 seconds to temporarily stop, and the exit staircase was just tens of meters ahead, as long as they held on for a little longer, Su Lin and Korean Xiao Xiao could escape.

  But at this moment, Han Xiaoxiao heard a burst of gunfire coming from behind her.

  Bang bang bang......

  At least five or six bullets flew towards Su Lin and Han Xiao, the speed of the bullets was unmatched. Han Xiao seemed to have heard the call of death once again, despairingly closing her eyes.

  But the next second, oh no... it should be one-thousandth of a second later, Han Xiao didn't feel the bullet hit her and Su Lin, but only saw Su Lin's body slightly tilted.

  One, two...

  Three, four, five...

  Six or seven bullets, all of which just grazed the two people's bodies and flew past.

  "Didn't hit? These little rascals' marksmanship is a bit too poor, right? Or should I say, our luck is really against the heavens?"

  Han Xixi was stunned. Logically speaking, in such a small space, the seven or eight little thugs behind them should have opened fire and it would be impossible for them to not hit Han Xixi and the other person. But the fact is that they didn't get hit, even when Han Xixi saw with her own eyes the bullets brushing past her face, it was really just a narrow escape.

  "No! It's not that those little rascals' marksmanship is poor, nor is it our good luck. But... but all these bullets were dodged by Su Lin."

  Feeling Su Lin's body tilt at a slight angle, he just dodged those bullets, Han Xiao's eyes widened in incredulity, "Oh my god! How is this possible? He can even dodge bullets, how fast must he be?! How agile must he be?! Is this something humans can do?! And these bullets were all shot from behind him, does his back have eyes?!"

  Immersed in astonishment, Han Xiao was increasingly unable to understand the man behind her. It was as if he was an unsolvable puzzle, and Han Xiao felt that suddenly, her life had become inextricably linked with Su Lin's. Su Lin had appeared out of nowhere in this underground base of the Dragon Tiger Gang, just like a director had arranged it all. Was his appearance really meant to save her?

  "Sulin, you... what kind of person are you?"

  She couldn't help but wrap her arms around Su Lin's neck, holding him even tighter as she gazed at the back of his head, her eyes becoming slightly dazed.

  "You bunch of idiots, are you eating shit? So many people, so many guns, not one hit! What's wrong with you! Fire quickly! Fire quickly! Those guarding the exit, what are you standing there for? Block them and fire too! Fire...!"

  As Su Lin was about to escape with Han Xiaoxiao, Yan Hu also became anxious and took out his pistol, aiming at Su Lin and firing several shots in a row.

  Boom boom boom boom...

  This time it's not like last time, only seven or eight bullets were fired. Almost every little rascal fired two or three shots in a row, dozens of bullets came from different directions and angles.

  It's a hail of bullets! This is simply a hail of bullets, with over a dozen handguns targeting Su Lin alone. In this situation, it wouldn't just be Su Lin, even the most experienced battlefield veteran would be shot to pieces like a honeycomb.

  "Now, see where you can escape! Die for me!"

  Yan Hu didn't believe it, with such a dense barrage of bullets, Su Lin could still manage to dodge them. But his triumphant smile had only lasted for two seconds before it froze.

  "How is that possible? He... he jumped to the back, it's impossible! Impossible! Just now... just now he was clearly there! How... how did he suddenly run to the exit?"

  No mistake, under the incredible gaze of Yan Hu and a dozen little hooligans, Su Lin suddenly disappeared into thin air, with all bullets missing their mark. By the time the hooligans came to their senses, Su Lin was already standing on the stairs at the exit, carrying Han Xiao Xiao on his back, and with a fierce push, he opened up the entire underground exit.

  "It's out, it's finally out, Xiaoxiao Jie..."

  It was really escaped from the hail of bullets, Su Lin's nerves were also tight, even if he could pause time, but as long as there was a slight oversight, as long as there was a bullet that wasn't noticed, then he would absolutely not be able to escape alive from below.

  "Quick, there's movement over here!"

  "Look over there! There's an underground passageway and someone is coming out of it."

  "Alert! Alert! Go report to Sergeant Yan quickly, it's Iron Lady! Someone has taken away Iron Lady Han Xiaoxiao..."

  "Reporting to Captain! We were searching the warehouse when we suddenly discovered an underground tunnel. It seems that this is where the Dragon and Tiger Gang's lair really is. At the same time, we found Xiao Jie, yes, Iron Maiden Han Xiaoxiao, someone was carrying her away from inside..."

  Su Lin had just barely escaped from underground when the detectives searching above immediately discovered them and the passageway.

  "Report, a large number of Dragon Tiger Gang's criminals were found at the bottom. Level 1 alert, they all have firearms... The gunshot just now was fired by them..."

  "Up! Not one of them is allowed to escape, catch them all..."

  ……

  The detectives found a breakthrough, each holding a submachine gun and killing into the underground base of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. After an intense shootout with members of the gang, they finally arrested everyone.

  Su Lin didn't relax until he had carried Han Xiao Xiao back, and his tense nerves finally loosened up.

  "We...we're safe!"

  Several detectives walked up to help Su Lin and Han Xiao, Su Lin was already physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't hold on any longer. After putting down Han Xiao, his eyes turned black and he fell head-first onto Han Xiao's elastic chest.

  "Sulin, Sulin..."

  Watching Su Lin faint, Han Xiang still thought that Su Lin was shot before falling down, anxious and flustered, shaking Su Lin while tears were about to burst out.

  The detectives next to them were astonished by this scene. The iron lady of the detective team, Han Xiaoxiao, had never been so concerned about a man before? But the fact was right in front of them, especially Han Xiaoxiao's worried eyes, which couldn't be faked.

  Recalling the scene where Su Lin carried Han Xiao Xiao on his back and escaped, Han Xiao Xiao's hands were wrapped around Su Lin's neck, while Su Lin's two hands tightly grasped Han Xiao Xiao's buttocks. Such an action was something these detectives would never believe could happen to Iron Lady Han Xiao Xiao.

  "Sulin, what's wrong with you? You...you weren't even hit!"

  On the floor, Han Xixi struggled to turn Su Lin over, but didn't see any signs of being shot. So why did Su Lin faint?

  "So big! So soft, so comfortable..."

  Just as Han Xixi was worried about Su Lin, Su Lin, who was dizzy and unconscious, put his two hands on Han Xixi's chest, grasped those two soft lumps, and in front of so many detectives, he rubbed them with a face full of enjoyment.
