Mr. Lu looked very embarra*sed and shook his head at me, “Zhang Chao, you are a talented person. But I really can’t keep you anymore, thank you for that single for Giant Grace, but I have to fire you, or I won’t be able to keep my company.”
“What?!” Lin Fang was so anxious that she couldn’t care less about being scared and grabbed Mr. Lu’s arm, “Why?!”
“You don’t know, early this morning, news was released outside that Ju En had put out the word that if I didn’t fire you, I would make my company fail to open this Sunday. And then all my company accounts, all of them were frozen! Even my personal bank card was frozen, and I almost ran out of money for all the calls I made today. Zhang Chao, I, Lu, am not an unjust person, but I really can’t beat Ju En. I was so anxious that I was about to jump off a building, waiting for you, and you never came to the office, so I had to come to the bottom of your building and wait for you.”
Lin Fang burst into tears, “What about me?”
“This, this is not said, only Zhang Chao one.”
“Zhang Chao, say something, what can we do about this?!”
I didn’t expect that Chen Yu Zhou was still a love saint, and at this kind of time, he didn’t spare Lin Fang.
Mr. Lu said in a panic, “Little Chao, just think of it as a high hand and let our company go, I’m not too mean to you, but this Land Rover is really a bit expensive, you, you’d better give it back to me.”
Lin Fang looked even more anxious than I did, “No, Mr. Lu, if you fire him, he’ll be out of a job.”
“Lin Fang, if I don’t fire him, we’ll all be out of work! There are so many jobs, he can still find another one.”
Mr. Lu obviously didn’t want to dwell on us anymore, so he grabbed the car keys from my hand and stepped back. Who knew that Lin Fang, who was always gentle, would rush out and grab Mr. Lu’s sleeve, saying that she would not let him go.
“But after offending Ju En, who else in the whole Tong city would dare to give Zhang Chao a job?!”
“This, what does this have to do with me, let go! Who let you offend Chen Yu Zhou, this is Tong City, you don’t F**king know how much you weigh, you dare to offend this prince, and I wouldn’t dare! Get off!”
I hugged Lin Fang and whispered, “Let go.”
Lin Fang had to let go, and Mr. Lu scampered off like a fugitive into the Land Rover and took off.
Lin Fang trembled and cried out in my arms, and I was so distressed that I could only hold her even harder in my arms.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Lin Fang didn’t know whether to believe me or not, she was crying as if the sky was falling, and I knew that for a weak woman like her with no hands, this was as big a deal as the sky falling.
I kept comforting her, not even noticing that just around a corner of the block building, a pair of malevolent eyes were staring at me menacingly.
And the owner of those eyes was holding a pistol with the rifling worn off.
By the time I sensed something was wrong and subconsciously looked in that direction, the black muzzle of the pistol was already pointed at Lin Fang’s back.
My heart stopped for a moment, my mind buzzed, and I subconsciously took Lin Fang in my arms and switched places with her, blocking her with my own back.
Lin Fang gave a giggle and was wondering why I had suddenly switched positions with her.
By this time she was facing the killer and saw the muzzle of that gun too, and screamed loudly in fear.
It all happened in the blink of an eye and I didn’t even have time to use my head to think about it. At this time I only had one thought in my head, I couldn’t let Lin Fang get hurt.
I pushed her hard and shouted, “Go! Go to the police!”
Lin Fang stumbled as I pushed her, and she fell to the ground, her face paled and her legs went weak, trying several times to stand up but failing to do so.
“Get out of here!”
I yelled as I held my head, hunched over and pulled Lin Fang into the nearest bunker, wondering why the man hadn’t shot me just now; by rights, the moment I saw him, he saw me too and should have shot at that moment.
“Don’t run!” I was wondering, when I heard a Vietnamese voice burst out from behind that wall just now, the voice of Chun Tang.
Immediately afterwards, a voice as swift as a black panther leapt out from behind like lightning. The man moved so fast that I even felt a strong wind driven by his actions, scraping the bushes.
The man was being chased by Chun Tang and was in a panic, leaping straight towards where I was hiding.
I saw where he was going and jumped out and hit him head on. He was very fast and I was not too strong. This hit was similar to being hit by a calf and he rolled several times on the ground like a rolling gourd.
I was busy going after him, and this guy, all dressed in black and with a dark complexion, cursed at me in what sounded to me like Thai, a swear word.
Before I could give him another kick, he sprang up from his spot like a spring and threw several punches at me like a cannonball with both fists in the wind.
Unlike Chun Tang, this man’s body was dry and sharp, and his punches were as heavy as two stones thrown up, typical of Thai boxing.
I got serious because I was worried that he had a gun on him, but after a few glances I saw that he had lost it, probably because Chun Tang had disarmed him earlier, and now he had no fists.
I asked in Thai, “Who told you to come?!”
“I’ll tell you before you die.”
The guy spat on the ground with blood, obviously having just let me hit him unclearly.
Then he came at me with heavy punches and kicks.
Even I wouldn’t have dared to meet him head on, a professional Muay Thai punch like that would have been enough to take a hit.
I dodged from side to side, not striking and not running away, just playing hide and seek with him.
I grabbed him by the shoulders and brought him forward, then simply gave him a few knees to the stomach.
These are the techniques that only a special forces soldier would learn, not fancy, but simple and efficient.
He rolled on the ground in pain, covering his stomach, and he didn’t even look the same as the arrogant man he was just now.
“Now don’t you say who your employer is?” I slapped his face with my foot.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not say anything, but he laughed, a sinister laugh.
“Zhang Chao, are you all right, how did you let him get away?” Lin Fang asked me nervously as she saw the man limping away and rushed out from her hiding place.
I had an extremely bad feeling in my heart, which made me irritable.
“Oh no, we might have fallen for it.”
“What are you talking about?”
I couldn’t be bothered to explain to Lin Fang and rushed up to the lift, which surprisingly stopped, so I had to go up through the hallway.
When I reached home, I dove into my room and pulled out my laptop.
“Which website did Chu Xiaoxiao post the video to?” I asked Lin Fang, who was panting and following behind me, as I typed.
“Weibo, and friends, and it blew up after it was posted.”
