Chapter 65: Never Look Back!

Qin Ye was furious to the extreme. He drew his sidearm, pushed open the window, and poked his head out, only to be met by a speeding bullet head-on. Fortunately, his reflexes were sharp enough to jerk his head back; the bullet grazed his cheek and embedded itself silently into the utility pole behind them.

"A silenced pistol!"

Yu Jin's eyes widened abruptly, her mind buzzing. It seemed as though something had brushed past her memory, though she was too slow to catch it before her body was forcefully shoved down by someone, dodging yet another bullet.

The bullet shattered the bulletproof glass, narrowly missing Dongfang She. It was evident that the assailants were determined to take his life! Such close-range shooting carried immense firepower, and anyone wielding a weapon with such precision required formidable arm strength.

"Sir, what do we do now?" Qin Ye had already called for backup from the Dragon Gate's brothers, but no one could have anticipated that anyone in City G would dare to make a move against Dongfang She, and reinforcements could not arrive on such short notice.

Yu Jin bit down hard on her lower lip, clenching her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Although they were using silenced pistols, she had still recognized the sound.

Gunshots erupted from all directions. The van was cornered into a dead end, leaving them at the mercy of their attackers.

Yu Jin snapped her head up, her mind interweaving with the chaos from that street in America a few years ago...

"Yu Jin?" Dongfang She patted her cheek gently. "Don't be afraid. I am here."

Yu Jin was shaking all over with terror, her lips completely drained of color. After all, she was just a woman, and it was only natural for her to be terrified in the face of such a scene.

"Listen to me in a moment. When I count to three, get out of the car, run to the right, and don't look back!"

Their target was him. As long as he stepped out to draw the enemy's fire, no one would bother her.

Besides, there were only three carloads of men; for now, they probably still stood no match for Dongfang She.

"What about you?"

Yu Jin's lips quivered, her eyes brimming with terrified tears. Almost instinctively, her hand clutched at the hem of his jacket.

She had a strong premonition that something terrible was going to happen today. Dongfang She's smile felt too illusory, filling her with dread.

"I'll be fine. Remember to run toward crowded places, and whatever you do, don't call the police!"

Dongfang She retrieved a handgun from beneath the seat and shoved a revolver into Yu Jin's hand.

"Do you know how to shoot?"

Yu Jin shook her head blankly. How could an ordinary person like her ever come into contact with such things? As the revolver rested in her palm, she felt as though it were burning hot.

"Never mind that for now, just keep it for self-defense. If anyone tries to bully you, point it at them and shoot like this." Dongfang She wrapped his hand over hers. At that moment, the crisis seemed to freeze in time; Yu Jin could hear only his gentle voice by her ear, and wherever his thin lips grazed her skin, it felt as though a jolt of electricity had surged through.

Bang!

The bullet fired steadily, striking the front left tire of the lead vehicle, causing it to flip over abruptly. Yu Jin started in alarm, pulling her arm back as a sharp, aching soreness radiated through her shoulder.

"Got the hang of it?" Dongfang She's gaze hardened as he fired another shot backward, forcing a head that had just popped out of the rear window back inside.

Yu Jin could only nod blindly. How could she possibly know how? But there was no time left to give her a detailed lesson.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't look back."

Dongfang She issued a final instruction, then suddenly leaned down to press his lips to hers. There was no time to deepen the kiss; it was merely a fleeting touch before he released her, firing another round at a bald-headed assassin attempting a sneak attack from behind.

"Qin Ye, do you have any smoke grenades left?"

"Yes!"

"Cover Assistant Yu. I'll draw them away. You must get her out safely, understood?!"

"Yes!" Qin Ye had always been one to follow orders strictly, coming within a hair's breadth of snapping a military salute.
