LBOT-52

Hiss. Whoosh, the knife flew at him, ready to stab his throat. Xiao Zhan took a step back and gradually distanced himself from Wen Zhuliu.

Then he quietly took off his sunglasses and placed them on the sink.

“Who sent you! Fuck, is it President Zhou? Or President Li?”

You also have a lot of people that wanted your life. When Xiao Zhan didn’t respond, he grabbed the knife and charged at him.

Xiao Zhan grabbed both of his wrists, bending them completely backward, and pushed Wen Zhuliu with his body.

His body slammed against the bathroom wall, and the knife he was holding fell to the floor.

He quickly kicked it away and ducked to avoid the flying fist. Xiao Zhan stuck his fist fiercely under his chin while Wen Zhuliu’s eyes were chasing the knife.

Wen Zhuliu’s face swung around with a crackling sound.

Wen Zhuliu raised his fist this time. It was slow, but at first glance, it appeared to be as hard as stone and capable of making him faint if struck.

After quickly defending and blocking, Xiao Zhan kicked the wall and jumped into the air, then hit Wen Zhuliu in the face with his knee.

Wen Zhuliu stumbled backward after that hit, and he kicked him right away, knocking him over.

He shook his head and staggered to his feet with blood pouring from his nose.

“You little bastard! Without fear!”

Wen Zhuliu charged again, like a horned bull.

Wen Zhuliu hit him in the face while they were exchanging fists. As expected, the sensation of hitting is extremely strong. His eyes turned red in the front. Fuck. It was obvious that if he dragged it out for too long, he would be at a disadvantage.

Xiao Zhan grinned as he licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

“You smiled? I will make today your memorial day.”

“That’s what your brother said.”

Wen Zhuliu’s eyes shook.

“So did your nephew.”

Anger flared up in his eyes.

“You are that fucking bastard!”

The enraged Wen Zhuliu rushed at Xiao Zhan. After all, if he excites his opponent in a fight, it becomes a flaw.

Wang Yibo is the person who makes the best use of this. He was truly the best in the universe in terms of being able to irritate people.

Avoiding the rushing Wen Zhuliu, he quickly took out the cut rope from his waist and put it around his neck, and moved behind his back.

Wen Zhuliu was strangled and tried to pull out the rope in an instant, and Xiao Zhan poured all of his strength into strangling Wen Zhuliu and pinning him to the floor.

He grabbed the vase next to him and hit him in the back of the head as soon as he fell face down on the floor. The vase was shattered, and Wen Zhuliu couldn’t get up easily because of the shock.

Xiao Zhan climbed on his back, pressed his knees against his body, tightened the rope as much as he could, and waited for his breathing to stop.

The large body trembled.

“Cough…cough!”

He tapped his palms on the floor like a wrestler. However, Xiao Zhan did not loosen his grip.

Wen Zhuliu’s body drooped like wet laundry as the intense movement subsided.

Someone knocked on the bathroom door, and people’s voices could be heard.

Xiao Zhan dragged Wen Zhuliu into an empty bathroom after confirming that he had stopped breathing. As expected, he’s heavy.

He picked up the dropped knife, put on the sunglasses he’d left on the sink, and opened the door.

There were two men in the gap glared at Xiao Zhan with stern faces, but when they noticed blood stains on his clothes, they hesitated and backed away.

“Excuse me.”

Zhan came out after asking for a way.

However, as he walks downstairs, people who appear to be Wen Zhuliu’s subordinates rush toward the bathroom.

Others appeared to be too preoccupied with dancing to notice what was going on. Xiao Zhan walked leisurely toward the doorway.

The bodyguard in front of him was talking with someone over the in-ear, then approached him with a grim expression and pulled a gun from his waist.

Xiao Zhan raised both hands to shoulder height. The guests around them were in uproar.

Xiao Zhan extended his hand to the approaching guard to inform him that there was nothing there. As soon as the guard’s gaze reached his hand, Xiao Zhan grabbed the gun, pulled it toward the ceiling, and removed the magazine.

Although the trigger was pulled, no bullet was fired.

Xiao Zhan pulled Wen Zhuliu’s knife from his waist and thrust it into the man’s neck, slicing it with a single stroke.

The guests at the entrance screamed and scattered as blood spurted out.

Xiao Zhan snatched the gun from the fallen man’s grasp and inserted the magazine.

Wen Zhuliu’s men were running down the stairs in groups, as he looked back. Xiao Zhan pulled a fire extinguisher from a nearby fire hydrant, rolled it into the club, and fired a bullet.

Powder spewed from the fire extinguisher, and the club became a mess. Sparks flew when he shot the lantern hanging from the ceiling.

People screamed and ran, and the men who had come down from the second floor to check on Wen Zhuliu’s body were caught in the gap.

Xiao Zhan returned his attention to the doorway. He saw the parking lot lights and sped up and ran toward the car the moment he stepped outside.

Soon after, Wen Zhuliu’s men discovered Xiao Zhan and fired their guns indiscriminately.

Bang, bang, bang, Zhan lowered his body and ran, using the parked cars as a shield, then opened the back door and got on at once.

As soon as the door was closed, Kim Joon looked back at Xiao Zhan to make sure that there were no injuries, and Kim Yaan hurriedly stepped on the accelerator.

Screech, the car makes a half turn and accelerates towards the parking lot entrance.

Bang, bang, bang, bullets flew in but were unable to penetrate the bulletproof glass.

Several cars followed them as soon as they get on the road. There were a lot of cars because it was in the middle of the city, and it seemed like they’d get caught if they went like this.

“My heart is beating like crazy?”

Kim Yaan laughed, and Kim Joon slapped his arm, telling him not to be silly and to concentrate on driving.

He was juggling and turned left ignoring the traffic light. Because a truck was approaching from the front, they could be crushed.

Beeeeeeepppp- Kim Yaan didn’t slow down despite the ear-piercing sound of the horn and immediately turned left and went into the alley.

As his body leaned, Kim Yaan grabbed the handle next to him and cursed, and Xiao Zhan looked back and checked the vehicle.

Unsurprisingly, Wen Zhuliu’s men followed them until they reach the alley.

Kim Joon gestured. Turn right, then left. Kim Yaan skillfully turned the steering wheel right and left in response to his signal.

After running through the complicated alleys lined with motels, chasing after them, and passing the car, Kim Yaan slowed down in front of a motel and entered quickly.

They looked outside with bated breath as they turned off the engine.

After a while, a line of black cars passes under the long stretched tent at the entrance. It wasn’t just one or two car.

When there were no more cars passing by, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back at the same time.

Kim Yaan then got out of the car and changed the license plate.

Xiao Zhan’s phone rang just then. It was the phone Wang Yibo had given him as a gift. As soon as he received it, he heard Li Bowen’s voice.

[Are you okay?]

“Yes… I’m hiding in the parking lot right now. Sorry. I tried to solve it quietly, but things got bigger.”

[Our staff is waiting nearby. I’ll contact you when it calms down, so stay there for now.]

Bowen hung up after telling him about the business.

They got out of the car, went into the motel, paid for their stay, and went up to the top floor after they got the key. The wallpaper in the old motel was colorful while the sofa and the duvet was red.

Xiao Zhan peered out the window after closing all the curtains.

Wang Yibo’s men black car was parked far away from the motel, and several of the cars chasing after them returned and circled the same spot several times.

His phone rang again as he closed the curtains.

Xiao Zhan hesitated at the word that said “bastard.” He took a deep breath and answered the phone casually.

[It’s me.]

“Yes. I know.”

[Are you okay?]

“No. As you may have heard, things have gone a little wrong.”

[I’m asking if you’re hurt.]

Xiao Zhan felt strange when he heard his voice asking how he was. He alternated between looking at Kim Yaan and Kim Joon.

Kim Joon may not realize it, but Kim Yaan has the eyes of a hungry hyena. It was inevitable that they would relate to it and make fun of it.

He crept into the bathroom and shut the door.

“I’m fine. However, I don’t think I can go out now because Wen Zhuliu’s men are outside.”

[Shall I pick you up?]

Xiao Zhan frowned.

“Why don’t you advertise that you are here?”

Xiao Zhan could hear him laugh softly. Wang Yibo didn’t say anything else, but Xiao Zhan could tell he was genuinely worried. He hated that, and Xiao Zhan wanted to hang up the phone quickly.

Then Yibo asks the same question again.

[I didn’t hear the answer. I wonder what kind of flower you like.]

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment. Then he remembered that Yibo gave him a rose as a gift when they first met.

He didn’t know a lot about flowers and didn’t want to waste time, so he said it was a rose.

He received a photo after hanging up the phone from Yibo. A bouquet of roses in a vase next to his bed. There was no message to be found. Perhaps he bought it himself?

After staring at the flower in the picture, he deleted it and came out.

The room is completely empty.

He heard a noise in front of the door and approached, placing the gun on the table behind his back.

When the door was opened, Kim Yaan and Kim Joon enter with their hands full of luggage.

“Are you done talking?”

“Yeah…”

“Those bastards are still running around outside.”

“Let’s rest and go back in the morning.”

“That would be better. Joon brother. Play some music.”

They exchanged meaningful glances for a split second. Kim Joon turned up the music, and Kim Yaan walked into the motel closet.

There was a large bag that someone had previously placed there, as well as new clothes and shoes.

When he opened the bag they took from the car, it contained money rather than a weapon.

Kim Yaan took out the money bundles one by one, inspecting them before placing them in a black bag.

Xiao Zhan sat beside him and helped him as well.

They all remained silent as if they had made a promise. It was just quietly putting money in it.

Knock Knock Knock, Yibo woke up to the sound of knocking, which had disturbed his sleep.

He stood up and looked at the clock by his bedside. The large letters indicated that it was 6:00 a.m.

He got out of bed and walked to the front door. Li Bowen is standing there as he opened the door.

His expression was similar to the day when Yibo collapsed after being shot during the inauguration ceremony a year ago.

What made him so agitated when he was always expressionless? Yibo could tell something had gone wrong right away.

Bowen lowered his head with an apologetic face.

“I think you should go outside and see.”

Yibo was dressed in a black gown that covered his bare upper body.

When he went downstairs with Bowen, the house chef, who hadn’t slept all morning, came out of the kitchen and looked at him with worry.

Yibo walked out the front door, leaving her behind.

Employees who had been standing guard all night had gathered, and a car caught his eye.

It was the same car Xiao Zhan rode out to work yesterday. The car’s body and glass have been remodeled to make it impenetrable to most bullets.

There are three men with their hands behind their backs next to it, including Zhu Zanjin, who was following Xiao Zhan and his brothers last night.

They looked at Yibo and bowed deeply.

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s our negligence. I didn’t even check who was in the car because I trusted the GPS. I will gladly accept any punishment.”

They were prepared to commit self-destruction if given an order.

Yibo’s gaze moved to the side. The man he had never seen before was kneeling on the floor and sobbing.

When one of the staff stood him up, he turned pale and shook his head.

“I really don’t know anything! They asked me to drive the car here. That’s all. Help me!”

In an unusual atmosphere, the man kneels on the floor and cried. In front of him was a bundle of money, which appeared to have been given to him by Xiao Zhan.

Yibo moved slowly to the trunk. The rear window has visible bullet marks. They bumped it violently last night, he could tell without checking.

“Open it.”

One of his subordinates quickly opened the trunk when he heard Yibo’s cold voice.

There were loads of clothes, shoes, and firearms they were wearing. Yibo kept his mouth shut and reached into his pocket for his cell phone.

When he dialed Xiao Zhan’s number, [Honey] appeared on his phone’s screen.

A vibration was heard near the trunk’s corner. Bowen quickly took it out.

Li Bowen, who was looking at the screen, hesitated for a moment. Yibo held out his hand, and Bowen handed it to him.

Yibo smiled as he looked at Zhan’s cell phone in his hand.

[Bastard]

A burst of laughter broke out. It’s even more amazing when he put it side by side with his cell phone.

Honey and the Bastard. Doesn’t it clearly show what the relationship between the two is like and how vain delusion he was alone?

He thought Xiao Zhan didn’t sign a contract with him, it was just a bluff.

He mistakenly thought he had performed half of it by the time he visited a flower shop he had never visited before, chose a flower that would suit him for a long time, and returned home with it.

He made a reservation at a restaurant he didn’t usually visit in anticipation of having lunch together during the day. There would not be such a fool.

Bowen as the leader came to the side with his eyes closed.

“I ordered to check all CCTVs nearby. They wouldn’t have gone far. I will definitely find them.”

When Yibo opened his eyes, they glowed like poisonous snake. He smoked after he lit a cigarette.

He just stared at the car in which Xiao Zhan was riding, his mouth shut tight enough to burn all the cigarettes. Even the air around him was cold.

Yibo called Bowen after rubbing out the finished cigarette. His voice was frighteningly calm in comparison to his cold face.

“Block both airports and ports. Find them somehow before leaving China.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw Xiao Zhan’s cell phone into the trunk. After that, Yibo disappeared into the house as if nothing had happened.

The three men who had been tailing him closed their eyes tightly and let out a sigh of relief.

Bowen ordered them to release the man they had dragged along and gave them orders in turn.
