Chapter 304: The Perfect Scene
Three choices, but he felt there was really only one choice!
If he pretended to be knocked unconscious, who knew if they wouldn’t come up and finish him off with a knife?
Beg for mercy? Just now they said they would kill him, so now that he’s gained the upper hand, why would he spare the only one left who could fight?
So he decisively picked up the gun from the ground and turned over to aim!
Before turning over, he hesitated a little—should he pull out the knife or not? If he removed it, even with a gun, having another weapon in hand would provide more security. But if he pulled it out, his partner might die faster, bleeding heavily through the wound.
Having accidentally stabbed his own team member, perhaps not hitting vital organs, he couldn’t pull the knife out. After some hesitation, he just turned over and aimed the gun at Li Yan behind him.
But when he turned over, he felt fear once again!
Because Li Yan, who was calmly standing there and had just kicked him down, was now nowhere to be seen! ƒreewebɳovel.com
It couldn’t be a ghost!
There hadn’t been any hurried footsteps; it was impossible for him to have run downstairs or upstairs. He must be hiding in the visual blind spots of the sofas or furniture!
Now that he was lying on the ground, not seeing was entirely normal.
Comforting himself this way, he didn’t move, didn’t rush to get up. Although lying down limited his view, the opponent was too quick, and if he got up now without aiming, he could be knocked down again in seconds. Given the situation, he couldn’t take risks; better to lie in wait on the floor and fire accurately when the enemy appeared!
"Come out! I’m going to kill you!" he growled.
With his words came a flurry of footsteps. He paused slightly, then realized it was the monkey who had been knocked down below! The monkey must have just been knocked out by a surprise attack and was not seriously injured. Now, awakened by the sound of gunfire, he was conscious again!
Thinking of this, he felt a bit relieved. Now there were four of them, three unconscious, two injured by knife and gun, probably dying. He was the only one left; even with a gun, he had to stay on edge. If he got help from a companion, especially if the monkey came up, they could attack from both sides, greatly increasing their chances of winning! freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Monkey! Hurry up here!"
He called out excitedly, causing the monkey at the staircase to slow down a bit.
The monkey had just heard "Come out! I’m going to kill you!" He knew who said it, but now was told to hurry up. Was he calling him up to be killed or to help kill someone else?
The only other person the monkey could think of was the one who knocked him out. If this person was upstairs, he should be careful. However, when he entered the living room and saw the situation, his entire perception changed!
Now he saw all three brothers down on the ground, one with a knife in his back, a knife he recognized! Another had been shot, lying in front of him, and the gun originally belonging to the boss was now in his hand! The boss lay motionless on the floor...
"Water Scum! Are you crazy?!" the monkey yelled. Not only was Water Scum pointing the gun in his direction, but did he really want to kill him too?
Thinking carefully, even if an outsider came in, without an inside man, they couldn’t take down three people alone. Now all three were dead together, clearly murdered by someone on the inside. Maybe the outsider was just a distraction, and Water Scum took action!
The process seemed logical, and the evidence was right before him. The motive was clearer; after all, they were in a violent business, pocketing a sum alone was a lot.
With this thought, he knew he had to decide immediately. Even if he wanted to team up with Water Scum now, he might not let him, resulting in the same fate as the other brothers.
If so, he had to strike first!
Earlier, after being knocked down below and awakened by the gunfire, he suspected something was wrong upstairs and quickly grabbed a hammer to come up. Now facing the gun, retreat or dodging was too late, and the hammer was his last hope.
As for Water Scum, he couldn’t bother to explain much, fearing Li Yan would jump out and use the monkey as a shield. With his almost amateur gun skills, he could kill his own like the boss or waste bullets. He growled, "Enough talk! Help me take him down first!"
Actually, he was aiming the gun at the monkey due to misunderstanding!
The gun always belonged to the boss, and he only handled it occasionally for fun, not professionally. Plus, lying on the ground not knowing the target’s position, he didn’t dare lower the gun, keeping it ready to fire. People tend to look at who they speak to; since he was speaking to the monkey, he unknowingly aimed in that direction, making the monkey feel targeted.
"Take him down with me first!"
Now it was just the two of them left alive. Without a proper explanation from Water Scum, the monkey, having blacked out, didn’t know he meant taking down the hidden Li Yan. He thought Water Scum was suggesting killing the boss on the ground!
