Chapter 37#

The teahouse was located in a relatively remote area, and there were few people on the street late at night. Jiang Qin slammed the accelerator to the floor, looked up, and saw two Hondas driven by Cambodians chasing closely in the rearview mirror.

Jin Yan said angrily, “Fuck that kid Ji Mie! He’s completely crazy!”

Jiang Qin turned the steering wheel sharply: “What did you do in H City during the few days I was away?”

This question hit the nail on the head. Jin Yan said sheepishly, “I was in a hurry to find you, maybe my actions were a bit aggressive…”

Jiang Qin’s car made a beautiful drift in a flash, widening the distance again. It was a few seconds before the headlights of the Hondas were seen at the intersection. Jin Yan looked back for a second and frowned, “Not good, only one came over. The other one might have gone ahead to outflank us.”

“There’s a police station nearby…”

“Can’t go there. Those from Cambodia are fucking death squads. Daring to shoot in mainland China, they are ready to die. You don’t know that group of people kill without blinking an eye. If you run into the police station, they can chase in and kill you first…”

The tires scraped against the ground making a harsh friction sound. Jiang Qin drifted quickly, avoiding a car approaching from the left. Because the car tilted too much, Jin Yan, who was wearing a seatbelt, slammed into the right window. Jiang Qin just leaned his body, turned the steering wheel violently with one hand, and the car immediately roared out.

“Are you okay, Jiang Qin?”

Before Jiang Qin could answer, the outflanking car suddenly circled in front of them, driving against traffic towards them, and then a gun barrel stuck out of the window.

Jiang Qin shouted sternly, “Get down—!”

Both of them lowered their heads at the same time, and there was a loud bang!

With the speed of the car plus the speed of the buckshot, the front windshield instantly shattered into slag, collapsing completely with a crash, and showering their heads due to inertia.

Jin Yan wiped away the glass shards, and the phone in his arms finally connected to his second brother’s number. At this critical moment, he didn’t even have time to say hello, shouting directly into the phone: “We are in the middle section of the Ring Road! Near the S City Police Branch! Cambodians are chasing to kill me, you fucking come quickly!”

The glass rain was truly spectacular, the crashing sound like a rainstorm blocking the signal transmission. It took a long time for Jin Yan to hear his second brother’s voice from the phone: “What? What did you say?”

“I fuck your mother! I’m in the middle section of the Ring Road, Cambodians are chasing to kill me! Come quickly!”

The second brother said angrily, “My mom has passed away! Stay where you are and don’t move, I’ll be there in ten minutes!”

Second Brother Jin had a very pleasing little boy toy in S City, so he came to relax every few days. Fortunately, he was lying on the little boy toy’s lap watching TV right now. Otherwise, if Jin Yan had to call the Jin family’s base in S City again and mobilize people temporarily, let alone whether the firepower was enough, just in terms of speed, by the time people arrived, he and Jiang Qin would already be in the crematorium.

Jin Yan made the call with difficulty while burying his head under the seat. He asked a contact person of the Jin family in S City for firepower and vehicles, arranged the route, and agreed to set up a convoy at the end of the Ring Road to block the pursuers. During these few minutes, Jiang Qin had been turning rapidly. Every time he turned, Jin Yan’s head would hit the car door, which was simply unspeakable suffering.

After finally finishing the arrangements, Jin Yan hung up the phone and roared, “Jiang Qin, are you okay?”

Jiang Qin seemed to say something, but the wind was too loud to hear clearly.

“Are you okay? Jiang Qin! Jiang Qin!”

Jiang Qin’s face was as calm as water, saying, “I’m fine.”

Jin Yan was scared to death at first. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the Honda crashed head-on towards them, instantly arriving in front of them!

“Careful—”

Before Jin Yan finished speaking, Jiang Qin made a clean horizontal turn, instantly rushing from the main road onto the sidewalk. Jin Yan only felt the rear of the car being hit violently, and he bounced up instantly. However, immediately after, the car bypassed the Honda’s impact and circled back to the main road from the sidewalk.

Jiang Qin didn’t even pause, speeding away the moment he landed.

“Fuck my head… Jiang Qin, that move was amazing. You didn’t practice for nothing when you got your license…”

Jiang Qin ignored him and suddenly shouted, “Head down!”

Jin Yan bowed reflexively. At the same time, the rear window shattered with a loud noise, and the scattered buckshot splashed all over the car!

That moment was really no joke. The stopping power of buckshot could kill even a bear. In such a small cabin, getting grazed slightly would definitely take a chunk of flesh. If a large piece of buckshot hit the body, one would have to walk a round on the line of life and death.

The back of Jin Yan’s head felt cold and then hot. He touched it and his hand was full of blood. Fortunately, the skull was still intact. The shrapnel grazed the back of his head and nailed deeply into the car door!

“Jiang Qin, are you okay? Jiang Qin!”

“…Don’t shout. There are lights ahead.”

Jin Yan looked up and saw a row of bright headlights at the end of the main road, with several people standing in front. He recognized them at a glance: “It’s our family’s convoy! Quick! Drive over there! Quick!”

Jiang Qin stepped on the accelerator to the limit, the car crazily knocking away the roadblocks, instantly pressing in front of the convoy! Several people reversed quickly to make way for him. Immediately after, several Land Rovers roared, slamming into the two Hondas with a terrifying momentum of mutual destruction!

An astonishing roar erupted on the road, and the light of the Honda’s fuel tank exploding instantly illuminated a long distance.

Jin Yan was pulled out of the car by several people, and the wound on the back of his head was immediately plugged tightly. Their car had been smashed out of shape. Jin Yan ignored the obstruction, turned back to pull Jiang Qin: “Be careful, come out quickly!”

Jiang Qin, however, held the steering wheel tightly, panted weakly for a while, turned his head to look at Jin Yan, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

At that moment, under the reflection of the firelight, the light in his eyes was abnormally bright, simply frightening.

“Jiang Qin, what are you doing? Come down quickly! You…”

Jiang Qin took a breath, raised his hand to cover his abdomen tightly, and staggered as he got up.

—When he stood up, the abdomen of his shirt was already stained red with blood!

Jin Yan went crazy instantly, kicked away the person supporting him, rushed over, and dragged and held Jiang Qin out of the car: “—Call someone quickly! Call an ambulance! Quick! Quick!”

His voice was so shrill that it changed tune. Even his own second brother felt his hair stand on end hearing it.

“Be quiet, be quiet, Jin Yan…” Jiang Qin coughed several times, but only a little blood star choked out from the corner of his mouth, “It’s okay… it’s okay…”

Jin Yan desperately plugged the bleeding opening in his abdomen, asking tremblingly: “Was it on the road just now?”

“It was at the entrance of the teahouse. I didn’t feel it at the time… Don’t be afraid, it’s okay…”

People were running, shouting, calling doctors. The noisy background was like a tide, slowly drowning everyone.

Jin Yan trembled violently all over, repeating over and over again: “Hold on, hold on… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I harmed you…”

“It’s okay,” Jiang Qin said intermittently, “Don’t let me talk too much, it affects the rescue.”

Several knowledgeable people came over to help Jin Yan tightly press the wound on Jiang Qin’s abdomen, but blood was still gushing out, and soon the concrete floor was soaked in a layer of bright red.

“If I don’t make it… Jin Yan, look up… listen to me.”

Jiang Qin raised a hand with difficulty and gently cupped Jin Yan’s face.

At this time, his face was pale as paper, but a firm determination revealed itself in his exhaustion, just like every bit Jin Yan was familiar with in their twenty years together.

“If I don’t make it, all my inheritance goes to my parents. Please treat them well… support them well, don’t make them angry…”

Jin Yan choked so much he couldn’t speak, just nodding vigorously.

“I am unfilial… Look, if they want, let them adopt another one… or let Li Meng see them off at the end… cough cough… let Li Meng listen to them, play chess well… cough cough cough!”

The blood in his lungs choked his throat. Jiang Qin coughed almost convulsively, but the coughing sound was very weak.

Probably because his vocal cords were compressed, his voice sounded hoarse and strange, even a bit indistinguishable.

Jin Yan hugged him tightly, pressing his face against his cold neck, only hearing him murmur: “Don’t cry, Jin Yan, don’t cry…”

His consciousness was a bit trance-like. He slowly turned his head at an angle, pressing his lips against Jin Yan’s hair.

As if kissing him one last time.

“…Don’t do this line of work anymore, Jin Yan. I love you.”

The sound of the ambulance speeding over seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, sharp and urgent but unclear. In a trance, someone came to pry Jin Yan’s hand, but couldn’t pry it open no matter what. Finally, several people worked together to push Jin Yan to the back, lifted Jiang Qin, and hurriedly moved him onto the stretcher.

So much blood, flowing from the ground all the way to the ambulance.

Jin Yan sat dejectedly on the ground, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears. He made a whimpering sound unconsciously in his throat. That voice was simply weeping blood, hoarse and unpleasant as if ground on sandpaper.

He had thought about doing this line of work, which was putting his head on the blade. Maybe one day he would be hacked to death on the street by enemies, maybe he would be shot dead during a fight, or even caught by the police and eat a bullet on the execution ground. However, he was mentally prepared for all that. As long as he did it, he had the awareness to pay the price.

He thought he wasn’t afraid of retribution.

But he didn’t expect that in the end, the one who blocked this retribution for him was actually Jiang Qin.
