Chapter 37 Age Is Not a Problem (1/2)
”Three... two... one”
Qin Haodong held Lin Momo and rushed forward like mad after he had counted down. At first, Lin Momo was running after him, but soon, she was dragged and her feet left off the ground because of his high speed. They moved forward like flying.
Those men in black didn't react until the three were on halfway to leave, and then they started shooting at the three.
However, their bullets lost accuracy because they were not prepared. With shorter than an eye blink, Qin Haodong had already arrived before the small black house. He kicked off the shabby wooden door, and then the three of them rushed in.
When they entered the house, he pulled Lin Momo to hide behind a wall. Bullets were coming behind off the wall, dirt and mud splattering. Luckily, nobody had been injured.
The house was shabby. It was supposed to be the shelter of the mountain rangers, but was now abandoned.
It was safer hiding here because there was no need to worry about being besieged by those men in black.
But Qin Haodong's wounds had been torn up while he was running, and were bleeding like it never stopped.
”Are you okay?” Lin Momo asked nervously.
”I'm okay, don't be afraid!”
Qin Haodong said while he was pressing his apertures to stop his bleeding.
Those men in black were gathering, and then they surrounded the little house. But they dared not to come closer because they knew the weapon in Qin Haodong's hand was fatal. So they surrounded the house from afar, and some of them hid behind trees.
One of the men in black, with his hoarse voice, yelled, ”Hey friend! We don't mean to spite you! Just give that woman to us and we'll leave immediately!”
The order he had taken was to kill Lin Momo, so he didn't want to risk his life to fight Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong had confirmed his speculation after hearing what the man said. Those men were going after Lin Momo, and maybe they were the accomplices of those assassinators last time.
Lin Momo was surely lucky enough to have Qin Haodong's company when running into the two incidents, or she could've been long gone.
Lin Momo was silent for a moment and said, ”They are here for me. Why don't you take good care of Tang Tang and give me to them?”
”What are you talking about?” Qin Haodong's voice was not loud, but he sounded stern. ”I said nobody could hurt you two as long as I am here!”
”But they have guns and you're injured. It will be meaningless if we held off like this! It's better to sacrifice me to...”
”Shut up! I said nobody could hurt you as long as I am alive!”
Qin Haodong might sound stern or even a little bit rude, but Lin Momo felt warm inside when she heard that. Her tears dropped down again.
”Don't be scared. I've already called the police, and they will be here soon if we just hang on for a second,” said Qin Haodong, trying to comfort the other two.
At the moment a hoarse voice was yelling again outside, ”My friend, do you hear me? Don't even imagine that you can go against us just because you've practiced fighting skills. You can never be the match of a gun!”
Qin Haodong patted on Lin Momo's shoulder and yelled to the outside, ”Fine, I agreed with your request, now come and get the people you want!”
”Papa, you can't give Mama to them!” The little girl screamed.
”Hush... Don't speak, Tang Tang. Papa was lying to them.” Apparently, Lin Momo had understood what Qin Haodong meant.
”But our teacher told me that good kids don't lie.”
”It is okay to lie to bad people, Tang Tang! Stop talking.”
Lin Momo stopped the little guy from talking.
Qin Haodong did want to kill two men in black after deceiving them here. He had calculated that there were six men in black outside, and the fewer men in black in the outside, the less danger they would be faced with.
However, the hoarse voice had clearly read his mind, and he yelled again, ”We want a dead one, not a living one! Just push that woman out and we'll shoot her to death.”
Seeing that the man in black didn't bite the lure, Qin Haodong sighed and had no other way but to wait for Nalan Wuxia to come.
Obviously, the hoarse voice knew Qin Haodong was stalling time, and he yelled again, ”You don't really think that I have no way to get to you as long as you hide inside there, do you? I'll give you one minute, give that woman to me or die with her!”
Qin Haodong ignored the threat, because he could kill anyone who dared to approach with the silver needle.
One minute later, the noisy roar of engines came from outside.
”Oops!” Qin Haodong's expression changed drastically. He knew what the hoarse voice was planning—he was trying to drive the large truck into the small house.
The small house was old and shabby. It could barely resist those bullets, let alone the hit of a truck.
As had been expected, the roar of the engine was approaching, and the truck was driven to the small house.
Lin Momo had understood it, too. She pushed the little girl into Qin Haodong's arms, and then she quickly rushed out of the house.
”Come back!”
Qin Haodong grabbed Lin Momo and pressed her to the wall, and then he said, ”Take care of Tang Tang. This is the work for man only.”
”No, they all have guns, and they are definitely waiting for you to show up...” Lin Momo said anxiously.
”Take it easy, I'm too lucky to die here,” said Qin Haodong. He pushed the little girl back into Lin Momo's arms. Then he kissed both of the two's cheeks and said, ”If I die, take care of our daughter!”
Lin Momo was dumb because she couldn't understand why Qin Haodong was willing to make such a big sacrifice for her and Tang Tang.
Before she woke up, Qin Haodong stamped heavily on the wall, and then he bounced back, shooting out of the window like a cannonball.
But apparently the men in black were prepared. They started shooting as soon as Qin Haodong showed up, however; Qin Haodong was moving so fast that all their bullets missed the target. On the contrary, Qin Haodong seized the opportunity and shot three people in succession.
The three men in black were still alive; one in the truck; the other two was too far to be reached by the silver needle.
