Chapter 297 Danger (2)
Chapter 297 Danger (2)
Three or five wolves quickly devoured the meat, but as if they weren't full, they pounced on Meng's mother's windshield and started banging on it. Meng's mother, who had been unconscious, was awakened by the banging. Seeing a pack of wolves surrounding her, she screamed and fainted again.
Yan Zuozuo had no idea what was happening outside; all she heard were howling noises.
Suddenly, a loud thud came from outside the coffin. Although she couldn't see what was happening, images of being surrounded by wolves flashed through her mind, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
Three to five wolves split into two groups, one attacking the coffin and the other the car. Clearly lacking intelligence, they couldn't find their prey. Just as the pack was intently watching, the sound of many people entering the woods was heard. Hearing the noise, the wolves immediately scattered. However, they didn't go far, remaining nearby as if waiting for their prey to appear.
Bang bang bang!
The continuous gunfire echoed through the forest, blood splattering as several wolves were quickly killed. However, the lingering stench of blood threatened to attract even more wild beasts if they didn't leave soon.
Chi Moqing had no time to deal with Meng's mother, who had fainted from fright. He immediately ordered the coffin to be opened. His young wife was locked inside, and at this moment, he only hoped that she would be safe and sound.
Meng's mother was woken up by the police. Seeing the wolf lying not far away, she gasped for breath. She had been terrified; it was absolutely horrifying. She cautiously got out of the car and saw Chi Moqing standing there, causing her to flinch.
The coffin was slowly being opened. Fortunately, it wasn't securely fixed. The moment the coffin lid was pushed open, Chi Moqing carried Yan Zuozuo out, his eyes filled with worry. He hugged her tightly, his whole body trembling. "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Only now, holding her in his arms, did his heart finally settle down. The thought of a pack of wolves standing right next to her made his heart feel like it was going to stop.
Yan Zuozuo shook her head, wanting to speak, but her mouth was still covered with tape. Chi Moqing quickly peeled it off for her, but worried that it would hurt him, so he was extra careful, his gentle movements as if he couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm.
Yan Zuozuo's eyes were red, filled with emotion and fear. Just as Chi Moqing untied the ropes binding her, she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Seeing her like this, Chi Moqing felt even more hatred in his heart. His cold eyes narrowed, as if he wished he could kill Meng's mother.
No, even if she died a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to make up for the harm she caused to his wife!
If it hadn't been for their timely discovery, and if he had been even a little later, his wife might have become the wolves' dinner. The thought that he might never see his beloved wife again made him forget to breathe, and he held her even tighter.
"Honey, relax, I can't breathe." Yan Zuozuo finally stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said, choking back sobs.
Chi Moqing was startled, quickly letting go and letting out a heavy sigh of relief. Thankfully, she was alright. He had never been afraid in the face of any danger, not even during his early years in the army when he faced hail of bullets. But just now, he was truly terrified. If he really lost his little wife, he couldn't even imagine what he would do with his life afterward…
Although Yan Zuozuo was also terrified, seeing Chi Moqing's frightened expression, she still tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, saying softly, "It's alright, it's alright, husband, I'm not afraid... I knew you would come to save me..."
Hearing Yan Zuozuo's comforting voice, Chi Moqing smiled and kissed her hard. "Wife, wait for me." After saying that, he walked towards Meng's mother step by step. His aura was like that of a demon crawling out of hell, with an innate domineering presence that made it hard for people to breathe.
As Meng's mother watched him approach step by step, her heart tightened, and her legs went weak, causing her to involuntarily push backward. She wanted to escape, but there was no escape; the immense pressure left her without even the strength to run away.
“I’m your aunt, you can’t lay a hand on me…” Mother Meng said tremblingly, her heart pounding in her throat with fear.
"Of course I won't lay a hand on you, you're my aunt," Chi Moqing said coldly.
Terrified, Meng's mother collapsed to the ground, trembling and gasping for breath, unable to speak for a long time. "Mo Qing, I know I was wrong, I apologize... Please don't blame Auntie for what happened today, please... I don't want to go to jail..."
“Sure, I can’t bear to see Auntie go to jail.” Chi Moqing’s smile was sinister. Meng’s mother looked at him with increasing fear, squatting on the ground trembling. “Really? You’re not going to sue Auntie? I knew it… Moqing, Auntie loves you the most…”
A murderous glint flashed in Chi Moqing's cold eyes: "Don't worry, I love Auntie the most too, and I will definitely repay your love."
Mingming knew that Chi Moqing's words should have reassured her, but the more Meng's mother listened, the more terrified she became. She looked at him in horror, "Then...can I leave now?"
She regretted it. She didn't want to die, nor did she want revenge. She just wanted to live a good life.
Ouch!
More and more wolf howls echoed, and Meng's mother grew increasingly terrified. Chi Moqing sneered, quickly snatched the gun from the policeman, and fired several shots at her car, shattering not only the tires but also the windows.
Mother Meng stared at him in shock: "Mo Qing, you..."
"Wife, we're home." After firing the gun, Chi Moqing put his arm around Yan Zuozuo and got into another car, which sped away.
Stephen and Ou Luhan naturally understood his meaning and quickly left. The police officers exchanged bewildered glances, then looked innocently at the police chief. The chief, startled, saw the wolves approaching and ordered, "Get in the car!"
They not only got into the car, but also drove it a few meters away, pretending not to hear Meng's mother's shouts and screams, until the wolves caught up with Meng's mother and began to tear at her. Only then did they stop the car and wonder whether to keep her alive or dead.
The pitiful screams of Meng's mother reached her ears, and the image of Chi Moqing's icy gaze flashed through her mind. So that's how it was...
"Ah!" she screamed and fainted.
Tsk tsk, how tragic. Of all people to offend, he had to offend the famous Chi Moqing.
Oh dear! How tragic!
At the same time, a loud bang suddenly came from the woods, like an explosion. The huge force reverberated several meters away from Chi Moqing and the others, and even shattered the car windows.
At the moment of the explosion, Chi Moqing quickly shielded Yan Zuozuo. The strong smell of gunpowder told him that it was a grenade that had exploded!
Someone actually threw a grenade in the huge forest!
Before they could react, gunshots rang out all around them, and Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply. She'd only ever seen that on TV before; was this real gunfire?
"Don't move!" Years of military training made Chi Moqing realize that something serious had happened. He pulled Yan Zuozuo away from the car and hid behind a rock far away. Stephen and Ou Luhan also came over. "What happened?"
No sooner had they finished speaking than several huge explosions rang out, and both vehicles were completely blown to pieces.
Everyone was stunned. What a close call! He almost turned into a meat pie!
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, only seeing scattered sparks all around and bullets raining down.
Yan Zuozuo's body stiffened, but her mind raced. Could it be an ambush? Otherwise, how could there be so many people in this desolate wilderness? They must have been lying in wait beforehand.
But who were these people who had been lying in ambush targeting?
J-Master!
Yan Zuozuo immediately thought of this person. Could she be the bait, and Chi Moqing be their ultimate target?
Yan Zuozuo broke out in a cold sweat, the whistling of bullets filling the air, her heart pounding in her throat. If J-Master's men wanted Chi Moqing dead, then who was protecting them?
She clung tightly to Chi Moqing, her heart pounding with fear. "Chi Moqing, who do you think will be the two sides in this war?"
Chi Moqing pursed his lips, already having the answer in his heart, but not wanting his little wife to worry, he smiled gently at her, "I don't know, maybe they're hunting or patrolling, don't worry."
It seems that J has really come to S City, and he has his sights set on him. If he doesn't retaliate properly, he would really be letting J down for valuing him so much.
Yan Zuozuo stared at Chi Moqing's solemn face. Even if her brain was oxygen-deprived, she knew he was lying to her. How could things be so coincidental? Besides, there had been gunshots earlier. If it were really a hunt, how brain-dead would someone have to be so reckless?
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was J-Master. She opened her mouth to refute him, but when she met Chi Moqing's concerned eyes, she kept quiet. Since he didn't want her to worry, she might as well pretend to be innocent. The thought that, in this situation, he still thought of her first, warmed Yan Zuozuo's heart.
"We can't just keep hiding like this. How about we go out and have some fun?" Ou Luhan has been trained by the Ou family as their successor, so she's seen plenty of real combat scenarios. It's been a long time since she's had a live-fire exercise, and she's really itching to get her hands dirty.
A glint flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes. It had been a long time since he had fought such a satisfying battle since he retired from the army. Back then, he was known as the God of War in the army, and his superb skills were beyond question.
As for Stephen...
“I’ll take care of protecting your wife, you two can go ahead without worry.” He immediately raised his hand to vote, “Sister, you go ahead boldly, go ahead… Oh!” Before he could finish singing, Ou Luhan slapped him down, “Pretty boy!”
Stephen retorted, "I'm a pretty boy, I'm a pretty boy. If I can make a living off my looks, why would I bother? Pfft, don't be jealous of me."
Everyone shot them disdainful looks.
"Wife, don't be afraid, we'll get out of here safely." Chi Moqing smiled, and Ou Luhan pulled out two pistols from somewhere, giving him one, which Chi Moqing accepted. He reached out and patted Yan Zuozuo's head, "Cooperate with my operation, we'll retreat now."
“Okay, I’m not afraid!” Yan Zuozuo said firmly, “I’m really not afraid.”
With Chi Moqing around, she wasn't afraid at all!
Chi Moqing hugged her gently: "Just stay behind me and admire your husband."
He wasn't just a soldier for show. If he hadn't left the army to try a different life, he might be a general by now. He wouldn't be afraid of even two or three times as many people as these few.
As long as his young wife is safe, he doesn't mind fighting them to his heart's content. But the prerequisite is that his wife cannot be harmed in any way; otherwise, he would be more heartbroken than if he himself were seriously injured.
Having made his decision, Chi Moqing and Ou Luhan provided cover as he cautiously retreated from the woods. People kept approaching them, as if they were being attacked by machine guns. This was truly a death trap!
