Chapter 40 - You're Worried About Me
Chapter 40 You’re Worried About Me
The night was as dark as ink against the bright and resplendent city lights.
It was very quiet in the car.
The car moved towards the military compound. It passed by one after another traffic light and was getting farther and farther away from the bustling city center. Soon, there were only streetlights flashing past outside the car window.
It was rare to be so quiet, and Ling Mohan didn’t pester her. So Qin Shu squinted her eyes and leaned against the window, trying to get some sleep.
Suddenly, a strong light shot in from ahead, and the entire car was immediately lit up. It was so dazzling that the road couldn’t be seen clearly!
Qin Shu subconsciously raised her hand to block the light. She narrowed her eyes to see a heavy truck dashing at them at a high speed!
In an instant, Qin Shu’s pupils shrank violently and she quickly grabbed Ling Mohan by the arm. “There’s a car ahead!”
Ling Mohan responded faster than her. He had already turned the steering wheel swiftly to avoid the coming truck.
Creak!
The tires made a huge sound of friction against the ground.
Ling Mohan managed to control the steering wheel firmly and successfully avoided the big truck.
However, before Qin Shu could breathe a sigh of relief, the moment their car turned the corner, another heavy truck rushed over, as if it wanted to crash them to death!
Qin Shu’s brain went blank, and her heart started beating wildly!
Just as the big truck was about to crash into them, Ling Mohan once again displayed his extraordinary manoeuvre, and their car suddenly turned to the right and narrowly avoided the truck!
Bang!
A loud crash came from behind them. The two big trucks bumped into each other, making deafening noises.
“It’s Rose Organization!” Ling Mohan suddenly said in a deep voice.
Qin Shu was startled by the fierceness in his voice and tried her best to conceal her fear. “Are you saying that those two trucks were sent by them?”
“Yes.” With a strained expression, Ling Mohan stomped on the accelerator and locked all the car windows.
Qin Shu couldn’t help but look back to see the two trucks burning in flames behind them. She was still shocked and said, “Fortunately, you avoided them…”
Bang bang!
Before she could finish her sentence, two bullets shot upon the car window and startled Qin Shu once again.
This was definitely a scary night!
“They won’t stop so easily.” Ling Mohan glanced at her.
“…You’re quite calm.” Qin Shu’s mood was a little complicated. She always had a sense of crisis that her life was in danger while staying with Ling Mohan.
However, this fellow wasn’t worried at all. His imposing manner was calm and his expression was normal. It seemed assassination was his daily bread.
But Qin Shu was very scared!
Last time when they encountered the shooting by the killers from the Rose Organization, at least Xia Lun was also there, which meant they had the help of a powerful special forces soldier.
This time Ling Mohan was on his own. No matter how strong the military vehicle was, Qin Shu didn’t dare to be careless. She was afraid that a bullet would fly through the window and shoot into her head!
Bang!
The back of the car suffered a strong impact, and the gunshots were heard endlessly. The wheels rubbed against the ground, making sharp noise.
Boom!
Ling Mohan kept a straight face. He stomped on the accelerator, and the car dashed forward like a beast. Its speed instantly soared to a crazy level!
Ahhh!
Qin Shu screamed in her heart, but she couldn’t make a sound in her throat. The scenery before her eyes flashed backwards quickly, and there were three more cars chasing closely after them, as if determined to take their lives!
The moment they turned the corner, two of the cars caught up with them and started to attack from both sides!
“You’re courting death!” Ling Mohan snorted coldly as anger surged in his eyes.
In the next second, Qin Shu saw him controlling the steering wheel with one hand and pulling out an exquisite silver pistol with the other.
When the car on the right crashed at them again, Ling Mohan suddenly ordered Qin Shu, “Get down!”
Qin Shu had never reacted so quickly before. She quickly bent down and lowered her head.
Immediately afterwards, a gunshot sounded in her ears.
When she raised her head again, she happened to see the car on the left running out of control and crashing into the road railing. The car window on its right side had already broken.
In the dark night, Qin Shu saw under the bright streetlights that a person was lying on his stomach on the driver’s seat of the car. There seemed to be a bloody hole in the right side of his head.
She suddenly stared at Ling Mohan. “You, have you killed him?”
“Yes.” Ling Mohan answered coldly.
Qin Shu was left with only shock and admiration.
This fellow was too doughty. He could actually kill the enemy like this!
If the time or angle were slightly off, the opponent’s bullet would rush into his head.
“They’re courting death, then don’t blame me for being merciless!” Ling Mohan said coldly as if he had guessed through her thoughts.
Normally, in that situation, Qin Shu would definitely not like his arrogance in this way.
However, at this moment, she felt a sense of inexplicable security in her heart.
For the first time, Qin Shu didn’t hate Ling Mohan that much.
When their car moved to the riverside, those killers were still chasing after them determinedly. They attacked Ling Mohan again and destroyed the tire on the right side of their car!
This was something that Qin Shu hadn’t expected!
At that moment, the car lost its balance due to the explosion of the right tire. It crashed into the railing beside the river uncontrollably!
The whole car was about to roll over!
Qin Shu’s face was pale and she tightly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, she was pulled into a tough chest. A strong male breath immediately surrounded her.
The military vehicle ran out of control and smashed into the railing. At the same time, even more intense gunshots rang in her ears!
Those people seemed to want to seize this good opportunity to kill Ling Mohan!
Qin Shu’s heart almost jumped out!
Suddenly, a cold object was forcefully stuffed into her hand.
It was a pistol!
“Stay in the car, don’t get out!” Ling Mohan’s voice was cold and piercing, mixed with an icy rage.
Qin Shu froze there. She helplessly watched Ling Mohan opening the car window and jumping out like a vigorous beast. Then he quickly disappeared in the green lake belt on both sides of the road.
At the moment he jumped out, there were several black shadows that flashed past outside the car window at the same time!
Those killers didn’t care who was in the car at all. Their target was Ling Mohan!
So Qin Shu was temporarily safe.
But then she suddenly realized that Ling Mohan was using himself as bait to lure away the killers!
In an instant, her mood was very complicated.
However, at this moment, Qin Shu didn’t have time to think too much. She quickly took out her phone to dial Xia Lun’s number.
“Hey, great beauty, what makes you call me this late at night? Do you intend to buy me a drink?”
Xia Lun’s joking voice came out. Qin Shu said very anxiously, “Hurry, I need your help. Come and help your boss deal with killers from the Rose Organization. Then I’ll buy you whatever you want!”
Xia Lun immediately asked, “Where are you?”
Qin Shu told him the address calmly, and she also sent him the location information at the same time.
After hanging up the phone, she felt her back so wet, soaked in cold sweat, and her hands were also trembling uncontrollably.
It was deeply dark in the night, and the shadows of the trees were dancing.
Qin Shu’s entire body tensed up. She held the pistol urgently, with her eyes constantly staring at the surroundings. Even the slightest bit of wind blowing and grass swaying could make her heart beat faster.
She didn’t know how Ling Mohan was doing now.
Time passed by second by second. And the time she waited for Xia Lun seemed to have become incomparably long, forcing every single one of her nerves to straighten up.
Qin Shu even had the urge to go out and look for Ling Mohan!
However, upon thinking of that Ling Mohan seriously told her not to move before he left, she hesitated and didn’t take any action. What if she went out and got him into trouble instead of offering him any help? That would be damned!
Qin Shu was so uneasy in the car.
She didn’t heave a sigh of relief until there were car lights appearing all around the car. Xia Lun arrived with a group of special forces soldiers who were all dressed in black combat uniforms.
“Are you alright?” Xia Lun came over with a gun and asked her.
Qin Shu nodded, then frowned. “Go find your captain, quickly!”
Xia Lun smiled and said, “Don’t worry, our captain is very strong. He will be fine.”
With that, he turned around and led the group to look for Ling Mohan, leaving behind two special forces soldiers to protect Qin Shu.
Qin Shu stared in the direction where Ling Mohan had left without blinking her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, a tall figure suddenly jumped out from the side.
Qin Shu was so panic that she might even treat the swaying plants as enemies now. She raised her hand and wanted to shoot, but was tightly gripped by a warm hand on her wrist.
“It’s me.” Ling Mohan said.
Qin Shu’s hanging heart was finally completely relieved. She looked up at the man in front of her, who was also staring at her with a calm expression and two inky eyes.
She said angrily, “What are you looking at? Is there a flower blooming on my face?”
“You’re worried about me.” Ling Mohan’s thin lips rose up slightly as he said with confidence.
Qin Shu blushed, but she said calmly, “Normally, in that situation, I would be worried about anyone. Xia Lun, for example.”
“Looks like you have a good impression of him.” Ling Mohan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xia Lun had just walked over from behind them and heard these words. He felt shivers running down his spine, so he quickly went around to the other side.
Qin Shu folded her arms around her chest as she curled her lips. “I have a good impression of all handsome men, except you. But for the sake of the dangerous situation this night, I’ll give you a little extra points.”
As she said like that, Qin Shu suddenly stood on tiptoe and said to Ling Mohan’s ear fiercely, “If you dare bully me again, I’ll give you a negative score.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a grip at her waist. Ling Mohan had held her tightly into his arms.
This move made all the other special forces soldiers stunned. Their captain, who had never been close to a woman, was actually hugging a woman. Was the sun about to rise from the west?
Qin Shu was greatly embarrassed. She struggled and said, “Bastard, let go of me!”
“Don’t move!” Ling Mohan whispered as he gently stroked her soft hair with his big hand.
It was dull and hot in the summer night.
Her hair at the temples swayed gently past her watery eyes, and the delicate appearance of her eyes and brows was as beautiful as white jade, with every single part of them revealing an exquisite beauty.
He pressed his robust chest tightly against her plump and tender body.
Ling Mohan took a deep breath. He swept his cold gaze towards those special forces soldiers around him, and the latter immediately turned their lines of sight away, pretending not to see anything.
Ling Mohan swiftly carried Qin Shu into the car, closed the door, and drove. His movements were so smooth and fast that everyone was left behind and could only see the car butt moving away.
Xia Lun stood on the roadside with his hands on his waist. He said with dissatisfaction, “Hey, boss, are you abandoning us after getting what you want? You’re too inhumane! Fine, forget it, I’d better go drink some wine myself and enjoy different types of great beauties.”
Speaking of great beauties, Xia Lun thought of the way Qin Shu was held by Ling Mohan in his arms, and somehow he was unconsciously distracted.
“Yoh, what are you thinking?” One of the special forces soldiers punched him on the right shoulder.
Xia Lun recovered from his thoughts. He took out a small bottle of wine and took a sip. “I’m thinking about how much good wine boss has hidden in his house. I should drink them up another day.”
When he turned around and got into the car, Xia Lun looked in the direction where Ling Mohan drove away. Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled softly. A trace of melancholy appeared in his heart out of thin air.
Perhaps he should also go find a girlfriend.
