Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Death
Translator: Doggotranslation
The waiter gunman glanced at the masked man in hesitation, then sneered at me, “I will let go of your women. Don’t you want to be a hero? You can save two lives with just your life. Do you have the b.a.l.l.s?”
d.a.m.n you. The life of Long Yifan could exchange for the lives of everyone here, but my life could only exchange for two lives? What he was saying was that my life was cheaper than Long Yifan?
Glancing over the crowd, I unexpectedly discovered that everyone was looking at me. In addition, the way they looked at me was very strange. Some people who were not so scared even whispered at each other while pointing at me. Only until this moment did I realize that I was also quite ‘famous’ in the upper-cla.s.s social circle. And it was not difficult to recognize me, because I was with Mo Fei. . .
“Chu Nan, I won’t leave!” Mo Fei seemed to be certain that I would definitely agree to the condition. She held my arm tightly.
Dong Xiaoye didn’t look back, but she said the same thing, “I’m not going. I don’t want to owe you a favor!”
‘Dear sisters, you have overestimated my courage!’
If I didn’t say it I might still have a chance to wait to be rescued by the police. If I said what the gunman wanted me to say, my head would definitely be blown open. Besides, was I such an irrational person? Did they really think that I was not scared of death?
I believed that my brain had made a sensible judgment, but when I got back to my senses, I found that the face of the waiter gunman opposite me was red with anger. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but blurt out, “Punk, if you are still a man, then keep your words. Otherwise, only an idiot will still give you money after you break your promises. Hahaha… Yes, it was me who hit you earlier. So what are you going to do to me? If you are that competent, then come at me. What? Are you scared? Hahaha..”
Eh? I was laughing. Although my laughter was restrained and without confidence, I couldn’t stop laughing. Even if I was trembling with fear after seeing the anger on the gunman’s distorted face, I still couldn’t stop laughing. But the waiter gunman’s words earlier were indeed very foolish and funny.
Even if they received the money, would they let them go? Even if the police came to rescue, would there be no casualties? No one was sure, so everyone felt despair and fear.
Yes, everything was uncertain, but now there was a chance to find out if they could believe those gunmen’s words. If they kept their words, then Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye would definitely leave this hall!
What was I thinking in my head? Sacrificing myself for other people. Was I such a n.o.ble person? Or maybe it was completely opposite. Letting Mo Fei escape from here was actually my extreme selfishness? For a moment, my heart was full of guilt. I felt that I had betrayed Liusu. However, I was an idiot who would only get angry at myself, but would not feel any regret for making this decision. . .
I glanced around again, looking at Long Xiaotian’s body, the wounded policeman, the seriously injured Long Yifan, Tang Lian, and the guests who tried to hold their breath in fear… There was no need to think that much because I had no time to regret it.
I would die. . . When this thought flashed through my mind, many scenes also flashed past before my eyes; so much so that even when Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye were shaking my arms and saying something to me, I couldn’t hear their voices at all. But I could feel that my lips were still moving. I was constantly cursing at the waiter gunman, trying to provoke him, but I did not know what lines I used. I didn’t even bother to look at the gunman’s expression. My heart seemed to be seizing the last limited time in my life, trying to recall all the memories of my short life.
My old man taught me to be an upright person. He said that I needed to know how to constrain myself and stay low-key, but I failed. I was like a rascal. I had extorted more than two million yuan from Zhang Mingjie, but I was only able to spend a small amount of it. I felt very regretful. I regretted that I had only spent too little. I regretted that there was obviously Liusu, such a good girl beside me, but all my attention had been attracted by Mo Fei. In order to chase her, I had even used the company’s loopholes to make a short-term investment. And in the end, the relationship between us became a love triangle, and I was caught in the middle of it, unable to get out.
In terms of staying low-key? I was cursing at those gunmen in the quiet hall in front of everyone. I was nowhere near staying low-key. . . Ignore your elders at your peril. Alas, this old saying didn’t lie. In the next life, I still wanted to be my old man’s son, and I would definitely listen to him. Because everything he said was true.
If my stepmother knew that I was dead, she definitely wouldn’t stop crying, right? Would she wipe her tears and snot with my photos every night? She loved me so much, but I had never been filial to her. . .
Liusu would definitely scold me to death. Although I would already be dead by that time, she would definitely blame me for using my life to exchange for Mo Fei’s and Dong Xiaoye’s life, right? In fact, I really wanted to tell her that I loved her more than my life. I would also die for her. At this moment, I was very certain about this. . .
Would the little minx regret not reconciling with me? In fact, I also regretted that I had scolded her. After all, she got angry at Mo Fei because of me. If she knew that I was dead, she probably would not forgive Mo Fei even more, right? Fortunately, she was still young. She would naturally forget me as time went by, but. . . I really wanted to watch her dance the rabbit dance for me again. She looked very cute when she danced like that. . .
Dongfang little brat would definitely be overjoyed. Because if I died, no one would interfere with her and hinder her. . .
Huh? Why would I interfere with her and hinder her? Did I forget someone?
‘Yuan Yuan, be a good girl, and call him elder brother . .’
‘Elder. . . brother?’
This scene suddenly flashed past my mind. It was the first time I met Chu Yuan. Her little face poked out from behind my stepmother while she was sucking her thumb. She was looking at me curiously like watching a monkey in the zoo. . . I suddenly remembered that this bratty girl did not seem to dislike me when she was very young. . .
Chu Yuan, my little sister, why would I forget her? No. Actually, I didn’t dare to think of her at all. Why? I thought about it carefully, and then I laughed. When I called her before going out, I promised her that I would come home for dinner, but I couldn’t go back. She would be angry, right? She would definitely wonder if I had gone on a date with Liusu. . .
It was very strange. When I thought of Chu Yuan’s cute look of puffing her cheeks in anger, I seemed to have forgotten everything else, including the current situation. I was actually thinking about what kind of excuse I should give her once I returned home. Although I knew that I probably wouldn’t need that excuse, I was still thinking about it seriously.
Death? Suddenly, I was very unwilling to die, because I suddenly found that I still had a lot of things that I didn’t understand. I didn’t want to die before I understood all of them.
I was still a virgin, I hadn’t had s.e.x yet, I hadn’t seen Liusu’s nude yet, and I didn’t know what it was like to have s.e.x with her!
I hadn’t eaten all the dishes that Chu Yuan knew how to make. I hadn’t even read her new novel yet! Chu Yuan promised me that she would be my cushion once. But I hadn’t tried it yet.
It turned out that the more people thought about it, the more they were afraid of death, because there were too many things that we were reluctant to leave behind, and we would regret that we had deceived ourselves too many times before. At the moment of death, I suddenly figured out. I had been pretending to be a fool for my whole life, but I didn’t want to die a fool. At least, there was one question I had to figure out. I needed to ask my little sister why my sofa was still damp!
In the face of death, it turned out that all people thought about were the things they regretted.
“Keep the gun away, Man Zi. . .”
When my cursing stopped, the masked man suddenly spoke. He moved the pistol away from the paled woman’s head and walked towards me with a smile. Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye trembled at the same time. I hurriedly pulled the two of them behind me.
The man called Man Zi was humiliated by me in front of everyone. How would he let me go easily? Feeling both humiliated and angry, “But, Brother Heng, this punk. . .”
“Do you still want to continue ruining my plan?” The masked man interrupted him coldly.
Man Zi was taken aback. Seeing that the other gunmen were also looking at him with the same dissatisfied expression, he gave me a fierce look and moved the pistol that was aimed at my face away from my face. Sure enough, the masked man was their leader. Probably, it was he who planned everything today.
The masked man stood in front of me, staring at me with his cold eyes behind the mask, making my hair stand on end.
After a long while, he laughed and said, “Mr. Chu, you are really not an ordinary man.”
Maybe it was just a sentence of mockery or praise to others, but to me, this statement was like a thunderbolt. . .
So it was him! No wonder I suddenly had a strange feeling!
. . .
I tried to stop my voice from shaking and made an unnatural smile, “bulls.h.i.t! I am the most ordinary guest in this manner.”
The masked man was dazed, then shook his head and laughed, “Even if it is outside this manner, you are still not an ordinary man.”
“If this is a compliment, then I will accept it humbly. . .” Then we both chuckled. I chuckled bitterly. He chuckled happily. Everyone was confused by our strange dialogue and reaction. Only we knew why we chuckled.
I knew who he was, and he didn’t hide it from me.
