章 157: Chapter 154: Slaughter
A man crouched himself on the branch of the tree which was firm to support his entire body. His finger hooked on the trigger and when all his bullet had been launched, he pulled his gun from his chin to his shoulder. His one finger pushed the wireless earphone on his ears to report, "Yes, sir we came late but I have exterminated the hitman."
He then waited for his next orders in silence as his eyes narrowed to the two people who were hiding behind the black car and the other two men hiding inside the forest. Though the two men seemed to be thinking they had hidden well, he could see them clearly and make a hole in their heads but decide not to as his order didn't instruct him to do so.
"Retreat." the voice came to his ears was short and brief to cut the call midway. As he was ordered, the man jumped down from the tree where he was and ran deep into the forest.
Li Lian who heard the sound of the gun died down, inched close to the edge of the car for Li Jun Wei to stop her with a frown.
"I will go and check." It was still dangerous outside and there was the possibility the sniper who had killed Nobu was still outside trapping to wait when one of them go out to finish their life. He can't have Li Lian injured while doing so. Though he believes she could protect herself he wasn't a man who could let his wife goes knowing there is danger.
Li Lian obediently nodded while Li Jun Wei eyed the place from where the bullet comes from, the forest. Though he looked to the forest, it was hard to find a trace of someone staying in the tree to hide from the position they were and after long minutes, no one comes to his sight.
"To think that he is gone after shooting Nobu and the rest of the survivor to death." Said Li Lian as they walked out after confirming the place was safe from the sniper. "What does this person after?" Li Lian asked Li Jun Wei who crouched to check Nobu's pulse by pressing his neck.
"They must have been employed by the same person who sent Nobu here," said Li Jun Wei as he stood up from his heels.
Li Lian lifted one of her brows, finding it odd, "So they are on the same side? But then why he killed him? It must not be only because he was on the way was it?" Though Li Lian was not completely sure of it, she knew the bullet was aimed at precision to slaughter Nobu.
"No. He must have been instructed to assassinate Nobu if he failed his mission."
"And he did." Li Lian continued his words, her gaze shifted toward the man who had fought with her now died to whisper, "He didn't miss a single person to kill." Even though the man she fought earlier had passed out with an expression almost dead, the sniper didn't forget to kill him and the rest of the men who were still alive.
"Perhaps the entire time he had been watching us fighting from afar," Li Jun Wei said for her to knit her brows.
"But why they didn't come to kill us?" The sniper must have an upper hand to kill them on that chance. In fact, the sniper had to chance when they were fighting where their guard was low and when he was about to kill Nobu. If she was the target, the sniper would have finished her first before Nobu.
"Or there could be another possibility." this gather Li Lian's attention to Li Jun Wei, he then continued, "They are not in the same side and the sniper came only to kill them." Though that possibility has its own loopholes.
As they were speaking, San and Ni who had scattered through the forest to survey the place from the enemy arrived back, reporting to Li Jun Wei. "Master, we have examined the forest and found nothing."
Ni on the other side added, "We have also informed Mr. Ruen of the incident. He said he should arrive after another half an hour."
"They work very slow," commented Li Jun Wei.
"Who is Mr. Ruen?" Li Lian asked.
"A connection of mine, he belongs to the police," he informed her, "We should move first from here this place isn't safe." and he was right. The location where they stopped was exposed in two plains of the forest from left and right. It was the worse place for them and the best place for more enemies to come.
"Are you hurt?" Li Jun Wei asked. His hands moved to trail on her cheeks to stop and wiped the trace of blood that came over her.
she shook her head, a smile broke on her lips, "Thanks to you, I'm not hurt."
There was a smile on Li Jun Wei's lips. A smile that held a sense of protection that made her felt the adrenaline rush in her blood to take a moment of calmness. Holding her shoulders near and took off his suit to drape it over her shoulder, saying. "Let's get in." and she nodded for them to enter the car. Ni was left at the scene to wait for the police and contact them later while they moved to a safer place.
When half an hour struck, a police car came to the scene and Ni informed Li Lian and Li Jun Wei. Getting down from the car again, this time Li Lian saw a man with hairs kept slick to the back of his head. His lips held a smile and he seemed like a man who loved to workout as his body was buff and it could be seen by how his the sleeve of his white shift was hugging his arm.
His black eyes moved all over the spot of the best bodies and when he sensed the few people coming down from the car, he turned his face a little at first before completely turning his whole body to greet with a smile, "Jun Wei, I expected you to call me here for the sake of greetings who knows that something like this would be greeting he first." by that, Ruen meant by the massacre that happened in the land he stood at...
