Pure Darkness
Chapter 117
Jian Yao's impression of Zheng Chen was of a quiet, arrogant, and somewhat childish young man. More like a stubborn big boy than a criminal gang leader. They have not interacted much in the last few days. However, he has come.
Oi! I am an article!
Zheng Chen said, “I want to talk to both of them.”
Standing guard gangster feels very awkward, “Zheng ge , this is against procedure, boss has ordered. .”
Oi! I am an article!
“Bos is not here, and I will just talk to them,” Zheng Chen interrupted impatiently.
The gang member said nothing more.
A moment of silence outside the door before Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao heard Zheng Chen's voice once again. “Are you two really police officers?”
Jian Yao looked at Bo Jinyan. He rubbed his chin lightly and said, with a resounding voice, “Whether we are there or not, it no longer matters. Buddha's hand believes that we exist.”
Oi! I am an article!
Zheng Chen was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “But, you two always cheated us.”
Bo Jinyan laughed self-deprecatingly. “It's just part of the job.”
Jian Yao simply sat quietly watching him joking with Zheng Chen. After a while, he heard Zheng Chen ask, “Do the two of you have any final requests? I will do my best to fulfill it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, even Bo Jinyan was a little surprised.
Jian Yao said, “Thank you, Zheng Chen.”
Bo Jinyan said, “Thank you very much, but we have lived without shame, and we died without complaining. We, as husband and wife, have no last wishes. ”
There was a long silence outside the door before the low chatter of the gang members sounded. Thus, Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao realized that Zheng Chen had left long ago.
Of course, this scene, and every word spoken by the three of them, had been seen and heard by Song Kun. He looked through the infrared binoculars and saw Zheng Chen walking into the distance. The corner of his mouth raised up forming a small smile.
“Call Zheng Chen here,” he said to his subordinates.
Zheng Chen arrived very quickly. When she walked into the room and saw everything, she froze.
Without turning to look at him, Song Kun lit a cigarette and said, “You are too soft-hearted towards them.”
Zheng Chen replied, “They don't act like cops. You yourself said it before, the police officer will not act like him, with exaggerated opinions about himself* and flaunt it.”
*(bi zhi tian gao di hou) – flares. unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth; ara. exaggerated opinions about the ability of oneself.
Song Kun said, “What if I kill them?”
Zheng Chen hesitated before replying, “Then, kill them. You should have a reason to make your decision.”
Song Kun smiled, picked up a cigarette from the desk drawer and threw it at him before asking, “What about the others?”
Zheng Chen replied, “When I came, I saw Qin Sheng playing cards with some other people, and Zhao Kun was sleeping on the sofa.”
Song Kun's lips twitched. He sat down once more, one hand holding a rifle and the other hand holding binoculars. He said calmly, “In the meantime, we will know for sure who the police officer is.”
He had made this scheme with Smiling Snake the day before. Back then, he asked the Smiling Snake, if all this was just speculation, how did they prove that someone was a police officer?
Smiling Snake had laughed wildly yet lethargicly, then said, “Bos, did you not doubt my previous identity, and sent someone to check on me? I think you should verify my identity, otherwise, you wouldn't dare to take advantage of me now. But no one else knows. Just tell everyone, you've checked, and I'm actually a cop, and you want to get rid of me the next day. No one would be skeptical about this. At that time, whoever comes to my rescue will be that damn police officer.”
. . . . . .
Song Kun closed his eyes and opened them again. Smiling Snake was right, if he did not find that police officer as soon as possible, he would not even sleep well. The method of Smiling a Snake seemed simple and crude, but, after careful thought, was reasonable and fair. What's more, this sudden turn of events won't give the police officer much time to think. There is a high chance that he will be arrested.
——
At that moment, what made Jian Yao worried was the question of who they were going to capture.
However, when he had conveyed this concern to Bo Jinyan earlier, he looked unperturbed, and said, “Don't worry. I have left a message for that police officer; he will not act blindly without thinking.”
Jian Yao said, “But what if he comes?”
Bo Jinyan said, “Huh, then I can only say that he is a pig teammate*. And, even though I am a god-level player, I still have to admit defeat. ”
*T/N (zhu dui you) – lit. pig teammate, referring to an incompetent teammate, as stupid as a pig.
Jian Yao glanced at him a glance. “Did you learn how to talk like that from An Yan?”
After a pause, Bo Jinyan said, “Ya. But . .” The topic of the conversation changed to be different as she said, “She will not come. A pig won't last long in a wolf's nest. He is also a wolf, a wolf that is more savage and more able to survive than them, so he definitely keeps his composure.”
Jian Yao could believe these words. He nodded, then asked, “You are sure ‘dia’ will definitely come?”
Bo Jinyan smiled coldly. “He will definitely come. He sees me as a challenge, and he also enjoys the game. Right now, not only have I not been completely destroyed, I suddenly appeared within his range of strength. He must be really upset. I will even be secretly disposed of in obscurity by others, how can he tolerate this? His temperament was so selfish and gloomy, he was bound to come. ”
. . . . .
Looking up, he discovered that Bo Jinyan, at some stage, stood upright as she sat down. One hand was on his knee, knocking it.
“She's here,” said.
Jian Yao was stunned.
Sure enough, he could hear the faint sound of someone humming, approaching.
Moreover, there was no movement at all from the gang members on guard. Jian Yao reckoned that they had all been shot from a distance.
Closer, even closer. Jian Yao could clearly see that the gentle, low male voice was singing ‘ How could an angel break my heart? ‘*
*T/N Singed by Toni Braxton (1996), co-written by Braxton and Babyface.
How can an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my shooting star?
. . . . .
I heard he sealed it with a kiss.
He gently kissed her cherry lips.
. . . . . .
Bo Jinyan was right, she saluted the flower cannibal. This is Xie Han's favorite song. During the nights when he was imprisoned by Xie Han, Jian Yao always heard him outside the cage, sadly chanting this song, as well as his low laugh as he greeted him: Hi, Jenney . . .
Bo Jinyan had already pulled Jian Yao to her feet. Jian Yao felt as if her heart had sunk into a deep pond sealed with a black lacquer, but her eyes were even brighter and sharper. He briefly touched the gun hidden at the end of his clothes, but now was not the time to pick it up, or Song Kun and the others would be suspicious. He took a deep breath, and realized that Bo Jinyan was already holding her hand tightly.
“Stand behind me.” His voice was cold and clear, deep and low, authoritative. He looked up to see the rough lines from his side profile, as well as the dense sunglasses that completely hid his expression.
Peng – heard muffled gunshots, followed by the sound of a key being opened. After that, someone opened the door. The cold outside air, as well as the bright light of the moon and stars, entered quickly.
A man, standing 10 meters away, pointed an assault rifle at them.
“Come out,” said. “How can you and I talk in such a shabby little cabin?”
He was wearing a black hoodie and a hat, and he was tall and skinny, exactly the same as the man the year before. The only difference was that he was wearing a king mask. The king's expression was a bit sad, but the end of his whiskers was raised high, which had a funny effect.
Bo Jinyan held onto Jian Yao's hand as they walked out. He was silent for a while before he laughed and said, “This is you.”
Gu An laughed softly as he replied, “Of course it's me. Are you surprised?”
“Why did you come? Not gonna let me die?”
Gu An sneered even louder. He sighed as he said, “Yes, how can I let that horde of fools kill you?”
In the distance, Song Kun, who was standing by the window, did not make any sounds or movements, but the muscles on his face twitched. Behind him, using binoculars, Zhao Kun, Qin Sheng, and Zheng Chen all watched the scene unfold in silence.
Bo Jinyan took two more steps forward. He made sure that his body was always facing Gu An as he protected Jian Yao,
“I really want to know how you can get into the Hand of Buddha,” he said.
Gu An looked through his vision apparatus once again, the pleasure within him had reached a stage where he could barely suppress it anymore. He grinned as he replied, “Kill some people, take some stuff, of course, I stand out as an amazingly brilliant person. Why are you asking such absurd questions? Come with me quickly, let's go somewhere much better.”
But Bo Jinyan did not move. Instead, he kept asking, unhurriedly, “If you do this, aren't you afraid they'll see something is wrong?”
Gu An laughed softly as he replied, “They won't notice it. When they arrive here at 3am, they will just think that you killed the guards and escaped. No one's gonna tie this to me. Even if they do realize it, what is the problem? I have achieved everything I wanted in the Buddha's Hands; this organization, Song Kun. . They all, just like the women I used to play with, I don't care about them at all. .”
He didn't finish talking.
The sound of gunfire pierced through the air as bullets shot towards them from a distance and stuck into his body. Although his extremely quick response made him fall to the ground and roll behind a boulder, he had been shot in the right shoulder. He groaned and almost lost his grip on the rifle.
Jian Yao also fell to the ground with Bo Jinyan at the same time and pressed down firmly on her. Laying on the ground, the three of them looked up and stared at each other, only a few meters away.
Behind the mask, Gu An's eyes were filled with shock, and he shouted in disbelief, “Simon King! You went as far as joining hands with the Buddha Hand to deal with me? Ha! Ha ha!”
Bo Jinyan completely ignored him. At this point, there were no more shots from the distant building, probably because they couldn't get a good shot. Gu An held a heavy duty weapon, if shot from close range, Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan would definitely be harmed. There is no time to lose. Jian Yao assessed the erratic nature of Gu An's mood and took the best chance to act. He pulled out a gun and jumped suddenly, pointing the gun right at Gu An's head. Gu An also reacted abnormally quickly; he raised his rifle and, from behind a boulder, aimed straight at Jian Yao's chest.
The two of them were thus locked in a confrontation.
Bo Jinyan quickly got up, but Gu An said coldly, “Stop there. At such times, the blind should not be involved. Otherwise, I'll make a hole in your woman's body. ” After that, he raised his head, and gave Jian Yao an extremely cold smile. “Oh, do you seem to be so brave? Is it true courage, or do you tremble with fear inside?
Without the slightest hint of panic, Jian Yao smiled coldly and said, “If you want, you can try and see if I can blow your head off with a single shot. Where we both worry, it doesn't matter if we live or die. But you, if you die like this, how are you going to realize your dream? And all that you have gained from the Buddha's Hand will simply vanish. I'm feeling how intolerable this is for you. ”
Gu An was silent for a moment. Then, suddenly, he giggled and said, “Two of you. . Everyone . . . . Do you really think that you have secured the winning card? Do you think that I've been trapped, like a turtle in a jar? Instead, everything went according to my plan!”
Jian Yao was stunned.
