Chapter 524: 524
Long Bing shook her head, hard, and her dizziness eased a little . She then saw the mixed-blood woman standing opposite her . She looked about 190 centimetres tall and the modified gun in her hand, and that platinum shield made for quite the visual .
“Cough, cough…” Gu Kewen struggled, but Long Bing’s elbow held her like a vice . She was going to suffocate .
Long Bing did not loosen her grip – she pressed harder . She knew that she was in a very bad situation now, and if she was going to die, then she was going to help Xia Lei kill Gu Kewen, so Gu Kewen would never be able to threaten him again!
“Let her go,” said the mixed-blood woman softly . “She has some use to me . It’ll inconvenience me if you kill her . ”
“Oh, really?” Long Bing’s voice was cold, and she moved her left hand from Gu Kewen’s back to her front as she spoke . A knife was above Gu Kewen’s heart when she stopped moving .
“Hm . ” The mixed-blood woman raised an eyebrow . She had disarmed Long Bing earlier, but she did not expect that Long Bing would still dare to use a knife on Gu Kewen in this situation .
Gu Kewen did hold some use for her . She was just a new member of the CIA, but she has deep connections in China . Getting promoted within the CIA and being of greater use was just a matter of time . Being able to control this person would mean having a double agent in the CIA, and getting some information which wouldn’t normally be easy to come across . Unfortunately, this woman in front of her was pointing a knife at Gu Kewen’s heart . This woman did not seem afraid of being shot either!
Long Bing let go of Gu Kewen .
Gu Kewen stared at the hunting knife in her chest in horror, not believing that Long Bing had stabbed her like this . She didn’t get it . She wanted to turn around and look at Long Bing, to ask her why, but she lacked the strength to even turn around . She felt like there was a dark vortex below her, sucking her into its depths . She managed to hold on for one second, then fell to the floor .
She looked up at the ceiling, her mouth open and gasping for air . No matter how she gasped, though, there didn’t seem to be enough air, and her breathing got weaker and weaker . She wanted to look once more at this world, but her vision was getting blurry and clouded .
When she’d been alive, she had a life of luxury . She had a luxury car, bodyguards, adoration, whatever she wanted . But now, she suddenly felt like she was rather pitiful, and not much different from the beggars who froze to death by the streets .
Darkness came roiling, consuming her . In that little bit of time before it devoured her, an image flashed in Gu Kewen’s head . She saw the light, and the young man who walked towards her in the light . It looked like he had come through dimensions to her, and he was in front of her instantly . The image stabilised, and she saw his face clearly – Xia Lei…
Why was it Xia Lei?
Her consciousness was devoured by darkness before that question could be answered .
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?” The mixed-blood woman looked icily at Long Bing, but there was a faint smile in the corners of her lips .
Long Bing shrugged . “I’m right in front of you . You could fire at any time but you didn’t . I know what you’re up to . You want to use me to pressure him, don’t you?”
The mixed-blood woman moved, but not closer to Long Bing . She went to stand behind a pillar . That position was such that the pillar blocked off any potential shots which could come from up the hill . However, she was still able to keep Long Bing in her line of fire . She could shoot Long Bing at any time, and if she sensed that Long Bing was going to flee .
No more gunshots came from the direction of the hill . That battle was already over .
Xia Lei’s location was unknown, but what could be confirmed was that he would not stop on the hill . He could turn up here at any time .
The Heart of Oshino was where everything was going to end .
Long Bing’s heart sank slowly . She could sense the power from this mixed-blood girl before her . It was not just her skill and her gunmanship, nor her experience and her foresight… It was because Long Bing had not even been aware that the battle on the hill was over when this mixed-blood woman moved to a position where Xia Lei couldn’t snipe her!
“Who the hell are you?” said Long Bing . “You’re not CIA . ”
“CIA? Heheh . ” The mixed-blood woman snickered . She pointed her gun at Long Bing’s thigh . “Are you coming to me, or should I break your leg and drag you over?”
Long Bing did not move . Her eyes were cold .
She was not just ruthless to her enemies, but to herself too .
The mixed-blood woman bent her finger over the trigger .
A small sound suddenly came from the corridor outside .
The mixed-blood woman shouted, “Xia Lei! Hold it right there! Don’t come any closer!”
Long Bing was stunned . She had not sensed Xia Lei’s arrival, but this woman had shouted a warning!
Xia Lei’s voice came abruptly from the corridor . “Leave now and I won’t kill you . Touch my woman and you die . ”
The mixed-blood woman was calm . “You’re that confident?”
“Your men are all dead,” said Xia Lei . This was why he was confident .
The mixed-blood woman sneered . “I don’t think you know the situation, Xia Lei . My target is you . Your woman is in my hands too . I can kill her at any time, and you want me to leave? Don’t think you can threaten me because you killed my men . Those were just cannon fodder, and their role is to die . They have fulfilled their purpose . The battle between us is only just beginning . ”
Long Bing suddenly ran for the window .
Bang bang! Two bullets flew from the muzzle of the mixed-blood woman’s gun . One hit the windowsill, and the other hit the wooden floorboard in front of Long Bing . The splinters which flew up obscured her vision, and the splinters stabbed into her legs and her lower abdomen, bringing stinging pain .
Long Bing came to a halt .
The handgun she had had been specially modified to use high-impact bullets – it was as powerful as a shotgun!
