Chapter 66: We Cannot Leave Him Behind!

At Yu Jin's realization, her heart skipped a beat. Was he going to act as the decoy?

"If we go, we go together!"

Yu Jin gritted her teeth, grabbing the fabric of his jacket. Her inner terror leaked entirely through her body language, try as she might to suppress it and keep her composure.

"Be a good girl!"

Dongfang She deepened his tone. His dark green eyes carried the aura of a supreme ruler, leaving no room for argument.

Before Yu Jin could even react, she was violently shoved away. Right after came a roaring shout: "He's over there!"

All the firepower converged instantly on the left alley. The muffled thuds of gunfire battered against the brick walls. Under the cover of a smoke grenade, Yu Jin was pulled and dragged away by Qin Ye.

"Special Assistant Qin, we can't leave him behind!" Yu Jin struggled to turn back, tears streaming down her face like crazy. She could not just watch Dongfang She march to his death! She could not let Fire lose his father!

"Assistant Yu, the Master will be fine. Dragon Sect's operatives are arriving soon. We just need to hold out for five minutes."

In truth, Dongfang She was merely buying time; he just needed to last five more minutes. But because Yu Jin had been in the car, he hadn't dared to gamble, terrified that the Dragon Sect's reinforcements might arrive too late.

Qin Ye had followed Dongfang She since childhood. A single glance was all it took to understand the master's thoughts: the Master actually cared about this woman.

Yu Jin had no intention of listening. She whipped out her revolver, pressed the barrel straight against Qin Ye's temple, and said with a trembling yet utterly resolute voice, "We are not leaving!"

Internally, Qin Ye cursed Dongfang She's entire ancestral line. Why did this little sheep have to cause trouble at such a critical moment?

"Assistant Yu, the President is doing this specifically to buy you time," Qin Ye said, forcing down his temper.

"I don't care! I won't fire, but if you don't listen, this thing might just go off by accident!"

Threatening him, Yu Jin grabbed Qin Ye's arm and dragged him back in the direction Dongfang She had fled.

Qin Ye fell silent. Fine, he thought, I'll let you have your moment of glory, and let you witness just how pathetic the President looks right now!

The deeper they went into the alley, the more Dongfang She realized just how dilapidated certain parts of City G could be!

Damn it! Whose trash can was this?

Hey, what on earth was this filthy thing?

Amidst the chaos, Dongfang She sprinted desperately. Footsteps echoed relentlessly behind him, followed closely by a hail of bullets sweeping toward him as if ammunition were free.

Cursing the fools under his breath, Dongfang She flashed sideways, melted into a corner, locked his sights on a bald man, and took him out with a single shot.

Had he known better, he would have stashed a few submachine guns in the car. This handgun was such a pain, and the ammo capacity was severely limited.

Dongfang She narrowed his eyes, hastily tallying the enemy numbers. There had been ten; he had just picked one off, leaving nine. Every single one of them was dressed in military uniform, complete with insignia and gleaming combat boots.

Dongfang She massaged his throbbing temples. When on earth had he gotten tangled up with the military? Didn't they know the Dragon Sect had always maintained friendly ties with the government? Assholes!

"There's a woman over there!" one of the soldiers suddenly roared, followed by a round of heavy gunfire.

A jolt of shock pierced Dongfang She's heart. No way. Yu Jin couldn't possibly be stupid enough to come back here and court death, right?

No sooner had that thought crossed his mind than he heard Qin Ye's damned voice: "Master, are you alright? The brothers are here!"

Qin Ye's lion-like roar instantly drew all the firepower. The men who had been riddling Dongfang She with bullets immediately pivoted, unleashing a barrage of fire in Qin Ye's direction.

Taking advantage of the gap, Dongfang She flipped out of his corner.

"Don't move!" A gun barrel pressed squarely against the back of his head. The muzzle was burning hot. Dongfang She cursed internally: If I ever catch who you are, I'm going to put a bullet straight through your head!
