Free Web NovelChapter 622: A Chance
At this time, Wendy had already run out of the movie theater.
Turning around and glancing at the fire-engulfed movie theater, Wendy did not have much time to think about other things and ran as far away as she could.
She neither knew where she was nor the direction in which to run.
She only knew that the farther she ran, the lower the chance that Christian would find her and the greater the probability of successfully escaping from him.
Therefore, she ran as fast as she could.
However, the next second, a gunshot sounded behind Wendy.
The gunshot made her look back subconsciously.
In the distance, a few people in black were quickly running towards her.
All of them were holding pistols in their hands.
Before Wendy could think about who these people were and whom they were about to kill, gunfire rang out again.
This time, the bullet grazed Wendy’s ear.
Oops!
They seemed to be aiming at her.
With this thought, Wendy got so scared that she ran even faster.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast she was, she could not hold a candle to the speed of a bullet.
A series of shots echoed in Wendy’s ears, and many people around were accidentally injured.
The gunfire was still going on.
Unluckily, Wendy’s arm also got injured by a grazing bullet.
Feeling the pain in her arm, Wendy gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately.
However, she did not expect that several people in black emerged in front of her with guns.
Those people approached Wendy step by step, making her unable to step forward anymore.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?" Wendy asked.
It was a pity that those people did not answer her.
"Even if I have to die, you should at least let me know what is going on." Wendy wanted to stall things out for as long as possible, although she herself did not know what the point was of buying time.
Nonetheless, the only answer she got was a raised pistol.
The next second, a gunshot rang out, and Wendy screamed in fright.
She thought she must have died.
Nevertheless, Wendy did not feel the bullet penetrating through her body. Instead, she saw the man in black holding a pistol in front of her instantly fall to the ground.
All of a sudden, the gunfire became intense.
"Hands-on-head and squat down!"
At this time, Wendy could no longer think properly and followed the instruction subconsciously.
Even though it was just a few seconds, Wendy perceived it as a long time.
After a while, Christian ran to Wendy’s side and stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground.
He was protecting Wendy with one hand while holding a gun in the other, and the bullets shot out one by one.
As Wendy looked at the people falling to the ground one after another; her whole body was trembling with fright.
She had never seen such a scene.
"Don’t panic." Christian’s tone was surprisingly gentle.
He stretched out his hand to cover Wendy’s eyes, preventing her from seeing these scenes.
Christian was looking around for Wendy like crazy just now.
He was indeed afraid that he would only get to see her body if he was just a second too late.
Fortunately, he came just in time.
Thankfully, he made Wendy wear a red dress today.
As soon as he distanced himself from the movie theater, he saw Wendy surrounded by people in black.
There was only a limited number of them, with the majority being killed by Christian’s men.
The remaining ones still fought against Christian’s men like madmen, intending to kill Wendy.
Amid bullets, even Christian was not omnipotent.
The next second, Christian watched a bullet flying towards them.
The speed of the bullet was too fast, and Christian could not elude it at all while holding Wendy’s arm.
Before his brain could think or react, Christian instinctively stood in front of Wendy.
...
The sound of bullets penetrating through flesh rang in Wendy’s ears.
She saw Christian, who was fine, fall to the ground all of a sudden.
Wendy’s pupils dilated in an instant.
Christian’s bloody wounds reflected in her eyes.
With Christian’s injury, the people in black seemed to be gone as well.
The sound of gunshots disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Christian clenched Wendy’s hand tightly; his voice became weaker than it was before. "Are you okay?"
Until now, Christian was still worried about Wendy.
Wendy shook her head subconsciously.
"What about you? Are you alright?" Wendy swallowed and asked him.
Christian moved his lips and smiled coldly. "You don’t need to worry about me. I am not going to die." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Looking at Christian’s familiar face, Wendy swallowed again.
Raising her head, Wendy looked around.
At this time, nobody was standing around, except for the corpses and injured ones lying on the ground.
All the men in black were gone. Christian ran over to rescue Wendy just now, so he did not bring many of his men as well.
Also, those people brought here by Christian were either dead or injured and were all lying on the ground.
Now, there were only two of them on the whole street.
All of a sudden, a terrifying thought came to Wendy’s mind.
It was the best opportunity for her.
An opportunity to kill Christian.
After this idea exploded in Wendy’s mind, her heartbeat could not help but speed up a lot.
She looked at the gun that Christian had just thrown on the ground.
Christian followed Wendy’s gaze and saw the pistol.
An unbelievable look appeared in Christian’s eyes.
Christian had guessed Wendy’s thoughts. He narrowed his eyes slightly and widened his smile.
It was a wry and helpless smile with disappointment and shock.
Christian did not speak as if he was waiting for her to make a decision.
Wendy’s insides were very entangled.
Her rationality said that she should take this opportunity to kill Christian.
Now, Christian was injured and there was no other bodyguard around him.
Christian could not resist the killing if Wendy took action now.
And if she killed him, Wendy could leave here.
However, when Wendy saw Christian in blood, her hand which was about to take the gun could not help but shake.
Just now, it was Christian who rescued her.
He even took a bullet for her.
Wendy could not kill him at this time.
But if she did not kill him, Christian’s men would arrive soon. At that time, not only would Wendy be unable to leave, Christian would also get rescued.
Since he was alive, even if Wendy ran away, Christian would definitely let someone take her back.
As long as Wendy put a bullet in his heart now, he would die.
Christian did so many bad things and his hands were tainted with so much blood.
Even if she killed him, she was acting on behalf of justice.
Nevertheless...
At this moment, Wendy’s emotions and thoughts were in a tangle.
Wendy knew that she did not have much time to hesitate.
She must make a decision as soon as possible.
While closing her eyes, Michael and the two children came to Wendy’s mind.
In the next second, Wendy suddenly stretched out her hand and quickly picked up the pistol on the ground.
She aimed the muzzle at Christian.
"You want to kill me?" Christian had scarlet eyes and was covering his abdomen that was hit by the bullet with one hand while supporting himself from the ground with the other.
Half of his body was blood-stained. Christian had exhausted all his strength and sked sternly, "Wendy Stewart, I saved you just now. You... how could you actually want to kill me?"
....
Wendy’s hand trembled as she held the pistol. "Christian, you have done so many things wrong," she said through gritted teeth, speaking each word clearly. "You should have died a long time ago."
"Hahahaha..." Christian suddenly laughed. The waves of laughter strained his wound which caused more blood to ooze out. However, Christian seemed to be numb from the pain. "Yeah, I did so many things wrong and I’ve deserved to die since long ago."
Christian repeated Wendy’s words with his heart sinking to his feet.
Wendy was the only woman in his life who made him lose his mind and he even protect her with his body. Just now, he did not even think about the consequences before standing in front of Wendy. Nevertheless, the woman he had spent his life to protect aimed a gun at him in the next second.
Christian swallowed, looking at Wendy with desperate and cold eyes. For a moment, Christian felt a sense of sweetness in his throat, but in the next second, he vomited blood on the ground.
Seeing Wendy’s trembling hand, Christian stretched out his hand and held hers tightly. In a commanding tone, he said, "Come on. Kill me."
Christian’s actions made Wendy’s hands tremble even more severely. Wendy had never killed anyone before. The idea of having to kill someone actually terrified her.
"Why are you still hesitating? My men will be here soon. If you don’t do it, you won’t be able to kill me and you’ll lose your chance to escape." Christian stared at Wendy with his scarlet eyes and urged her, "Hurry up! Kill me!" Wendy was so close to Christian that she could see how bloodshot his eyes were.
In the distance, someone could be heard running over. Wendy did not have much time to hesitate. Although her entire body was trembling, with her eyes closed, Wendy took a deep breath.
Then she pulled the trigger with all her strength.
The vivid sound of a bullet penetrating through flesh did not come. Wendy suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the pistol she was holding in disbelief. Why were there no bullets? Wendy thought she was too weak just now, so she tried her best to pull the trigger again. There were still no bullets.
"Wendy Stewart, you did want to kill me," the smile on Christian’s face was even more deranged than before.
He had grabbed Wendy’s hand just now and asked her to kill him. It was not because he really wanted to die. Actually, he was betting. However, he was not betting on whether or not there were bullets in the gun, but whether Wendy would kill him or not.
That pistol had already been running out of bullets when he had used it. If the group of people in black did not leave, Christian would also have been in life-threatening danger. Even so, Christian did not stop trying to save Wendy. Yet, the woman he sacrificed his own life for only wanted to kill him. If there were still bullets left in this gun, Christian would have fallen to the ground.
Wendy could not think about anything. Seeing that Christian’s men were about to run over, Wendy immediately threw the pistol on the ground, stood up, and intended to run away. But Christian held her tightly, not letting her go at all. Wendy kicked at Christian fiercely, trying to make him release her.
Even though she had failed to kill Christian, Wendy did not want to get caught again.
She was determined to leave and get away from Christian’s side. However, she did not expect that Christian would still have so much strength despite his injury. Wendy had to be cruel and kicked Christian’s wound directly.
