Chapter 13
…
The speed of the bullet was really fast as it soared through the air flying towards its target.
Guns are one of mankind's most powerful inventions that have changed the world of warfare. Because of it, the world became a peaceful place and at the same time very chaotic.
The balance was established as the strong and the weak can now wield the same power and ability to destroy each other. And this has caused the world to be at peace… for now.
A gun has a terrifying ability to kill its target easily in one shot or two. However, it has a weakness, and that weakness is that bullets fly in a straight line. Very predictable and easily dodged for those who are experts and have fast reflexes.
Right at this moment, as the bullet flew towards Xin Wei, with just blinks of an eye, as if he did not move on his spot, it missed him.
But for those who did not see him move or those who have slow reflexes they thought that he was hit by the bullet.
Lee Wanwan just stood there frozen as she did not expect that Dongfang Lin would shoot his gun. Plus it was just a bystander, why would he kill someone unrelated to them? This made her angry, but she could not do anything about it as she is now in a pinch facing two large men with strength surpassing hers.
"Get her… we have to leave this place immediately. I want to enjoy this woman as soon as possible." Dongfang Lin said with a sinister smile while licking his lips.
"You dare! I would rather die fighting than be raped by you…" Lee Wanwan shouted as she suddenly charges towards one of the burly men.
Seeing her fighting spirit and feisty personality, Donggang Lin sneered. He expected this woman to not yield and would fight back, so he decided to teach her a lesson.
Bang!
A bullet flew towards her left thigh.
Everything happened really fast, and Dongfang Lin now wears a confident smile on his face and did not bother to check if the bullet hits its target as he is confident of his shooting skill.
"Take her!" he shouted as he has already turned his gaze to the car.
He is confident of ability and knew that the feisty woman is already disabled. He could not wait to enjoy her even though her leg is wounded. Then he might just throw her somewhere or sell her to some brothels while trying to blackmail her family and clan.
However, he has already walked towards the car, and soon he noticed that he seem to not have heard any movements from his two subordinates.
As soon as he turns around, his eyes went wide in disbelief.
…
As I saw the pompous-looking young man with the lascivious expression slowly turning around and looking at me with a shocked expression, I showed a disdainful smile.
"You're a scum… truly a scum… I really hate people like you!" I shouted as I carefully put down the young woman in my arms on the ground.
When this person shot the young woman, I knew that if I did not act immediately she would be in trouble. Hence, I decided to help.
With my speed, I am able to easily get her out of danger and then take care of those two goons by throwing sharp-pointed sticks on their movement acupoints.
They are now frozen on the spot and could not move.
I look at the pompous young man and then said.
"Since you are willing to kill, then don't blame others if they kill you," I said that with an angry gaze then I suddenly throw three pebbles I have casually picked from the ground.
My emotion at this time is a bit turbulent because I really hate these kinds of people. My desire to kill is overflowing all over my body.
The pebbles flew and hit the guy's hand holding the gun, his shoulder, and the lower part of his stomach. This has caused him to vomit blood and pass out while flying towards the parked car.
His figure crashed on the car's window and shattered it.
I then shifted my gaze at the young woman who is showing astonishment in her eyes. When I saw her reaction, my expression changes as I seem to have calmed down.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
As I look closely at the woman and I realized that my conjecture was correct. She was the woman I saw in the forest many months ago, the one who is with a group of students and a teacher and almost got raped and sold.
"Tha… Thank you… Thank you, for saving me." She said with a shaking voice.
I just showed her a slight smile and nodded my head.
"I am going to the nearest city… Will you be able to go home on your own?"
The woman did not reply but shifted her gaze towards the two burly men.
"Don't worry… they will suffer that same fate as their master. They will slowly bleed internally… and suffer a very painful death." I casually said while glaring at those two men who are now showing a pained appearance.
I suddenly noticed the woman seem to have shivered upon hearing my words. But I did not mind her.
As I stayed in the forest, my resolve was already hardened and I have already decided to be cruel to those who are cruel towards me, mercy is not an option anymore for me. And for those that do horrible things to others, I will be their judge, jury, and executioner.
And so as I looking at the two burly men, I knew that I should not spare them or they would bring me more trouble.
"I'm... I'm Lee Wanwan... Can… Can I have your name?" the woman suddenly asked with a tone of reluctance and fear.
"Wei… just call me Wei."
"Wei... Brother Wei... can I call you that? You seem strong... How did you do that back there?"
I did not answer her but just showed her a faint smile. She did not ask anymore questions after that.
The two of us pushed the car, with those three people inside, to the side of the road towards the thickest part of the shrubberies. Since this is a road rarely used by any vehicles or people, we would need to walk for a few kilometers before gaining access to the main highway.
Lee Wanwan has already changed her clothes and is wearing a black leather jacket we found inside the car.
Since her phone was taken and was broken by those thugs, and I did not show her the phone I was keeping, as I did not want it traced, we just decided to try and hitch a ride from any vehicles that might pass.
The two of us walked in silence until we reached the main road where we began to wave our hands to tried to get a ride.
Suddenly, a dark blue sedan stopped by the roadside.
A middle-aged man who is sitting by the driver's seat got off and greeted the two of us.
"The two of you seem to have met some trouble in the forest." He said with a smile while looking in the direction where we came from.
"Yes, Uncle… we left most of our stuff in the forest but were able to get out safely. I hope that you can let us get a ride to the city… from there we can just take the cab to our house." Lee Wanwan said with a smile.
"Haha… Miss Lee is too polite. I actually recognize you…" the middle-aged man said with a gentle smile.
"Oh! Uncle, do you know me?"
"Yes, of course… My master is an acquaintance of your father. Come… Let me bring you home… Oh, by the way, this young man is?..."
"Ah, this is my friend, Brother Wei…"
"Ah… Young man Wei seems to be also from a clan being friends with Miss Lee. This old man greets young master Wei."
I gave the middle-aged man a polite bow then replied.
"You are too humble, uncle… We really wanted to thank you for helping us." I didn't want to explain anything about myself, so I just said as such.
We walk to the car and I ride shotgun while Lee Wanwan hops at the back of the vehicle. I then noticed a beautiful blonde lady sitting at the back who showed a smile when she saw Lee Wanwan.
"Jenny! It's you!"
"Sister Wanwan… I never would have expected to see you in this place. What were you doing here?" the blonde lady said showing a hint of concern and happiness at the same time.
"Sigh… I… I encountered some trouble in the forest…" Lee Wanwan said not talking about those people we left in there.
"And him?..." the blonde woman asked while pouting her lips towards me.
"Ah… this is brother Wei… he helped me. No, actually he saved me." Lee Wanwan said with a blush on her face.
"Oh, that's good then..."
I did not listen to their conversation and just put my large backpack on my lap as I sit quietly after fastening my seatbelt.
"I'm Jenny Shi… or Shi Jenny… Nice meeting you Brother Wei." suddenly the blonde young woman said towards me.
"It is nice meeting you Miss Jenny…" I also greeted politely.
Then the four of us travel down the highway towards the city. Looking outside I could tell that we are nearing another city. This is City F, which is a little distance away from City H. I never would have expected that I would travel this far by foot while looking for a place rich in Qi.
I knew that this is the city where I will start to gather information and begin preparation for my revenge.
While traveling, I listened to the two girls talking with my eyes closed. From their conversation, I learned that a lot of things have happened in City H. I now know that City H in just one year is now referred to as the most dangerous place in the country.
Even the military seems to be unable to stop the corruption and vileness in that place. Upon hearing this, my heart began to burn with the desire to go there. But going there right now is like heading to battle without any preparation.
I knew that I have to prepare first. Since my strength is somewhat enough, all I need is to gather more information before I begin my hunt.
