Chapter 16 Dark Tide (8)
Now that we have made an appointment to have lunch together, where to eat and what to eat has become a problem.
The economic development of Rongcheng regards the city center as the center of a circle and radiates to all directions. Bogu Hutong is located in the old district near the outskirts of the city.
"Leave from here first, take a look slowly on the way, and tell me if you see it."
Nie Xicheng's car was parked not far from the alley, and he could be seen within two steps.As always, he opened the door for Yi Huai first, and then went around to the driver's seat on the other side.
Yi Huai sent a message to his secretary asking if there were any restaurants near the company that were suitable for two people and did not need to make an appointment in advance. While waiting for the reply, he opened the review software and looked at it according to the rating.
The secretary quickly sorted out the appropriate restaurant address and sent it along with the phone number.He is not a person who attaches great importance to food and drink, except for a few things, he has no special taboos. After looking through the list for a long time, it is difficult to make a decision, so he intends to directly seek the opinions of people around him.
"Do you like French food?" He noticed that besides this one, there were two other restaurants that were highlighted, the reason being that the environment was quiet and suitable for a date.
Dating?He was stunned, did he have a relationship with Nie Xi?It's not impossible, at least he has no aversion to it...
He thought of the moment when this person flinched just now, his heart seemed to be grabbed, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.
"If you don't like it, we can still..."
"Yi Huai." Nie Xicheng suddenly called his name.
It wasn't Manager Yi or anything else, just such a simple word, the unknown joy and scorching heat in his chest instantly cooled down, "What's the matter?"
"Look behind."
Yi Huai, who didn't know what happened, turned his head in doubt, and then a cold fear rose up his spine.
Because of the remote location, there are not many vehicles passing by on this road... It used to be like this, but now a heavy truck for transport is biting tightly behind their car, and the distance between the two cars is gradually shrinking .
Is it trying to overtake?This kind of thought lingered in Yi Huai's mind for a moment before being denied by him. It's just that if you want to overtake, you don't need to get so close. It's almost like you're going to bump into it... It's not like, it's going to be. I realized this. Yi Huai's pupils suddenly shrank a little: the truck accelerated again, and under the huge size difference of more than ten times, this black business car was so small and fragile.
"Hurry up!" Nie Xicheng had blue veins on the back of his hand holding the steering wheel, "Someone is going to kill us." Due to the excessive secretion of adrenaline, his voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were fixed on the road ahead, fearing Something went wrong.
After being completely crushed by this terrifying behemoth, Nie Xicheng gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to accelerate. Even so, the bumper came into close contact with the opposite side. Huai's face was pale - if the seat belt on his chest was not fastened tightly, the huge momentum would probably have thrown him directly onto the car glass.
The speed limit on the highway in Rongcheng City is 60 kilometers, and Yi Huai couldn't see the meter. Just based on the afterimages of the scenery whizzing by along the way, he knew that their speed at the moment should be almost 100 kilometers per hour.
Nie Xicheng's side face revealed a determination that is rarely seen in ordinary times. Yi Huai read the navigation map all over and made the most correct decision so far.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead and get on the highway."
The opponent really wanted their lives, speeding up time and time again trying to rear-end brutally.It's okay in an open place, but if you enter the city center, other people will definitely be involved and it will turn into a series of car accidents.
Nie Xicheng didn't have the time to answer. There was a fork in the highway ahead. When he shifted gears and turned the steering wheel, the tires rubbed against the rough concrete floor, shooting out a series of sparks.He didn't expect to be able to shake off the terrifying giant behind him in this way, but the speed at which the thing caught up still surprised him.
The opponent came prepared!The truck must have been specially modified, because no matter how fast they accelerated, it kept chasing at a distance of no more than two meters, bumping into bumpers several times, making a chilling rumble.
The second half of the car body is seriously deformed, and it may really fall apart at any time. However, this is not the worst thing in this chase. The ground snapped, and his face became extremely ugly.
Yi Huai was still thinking about what to do next when he heard Nie Xicheng hiss, "I'm going to run out of gas."
Understanding what he was talking about, Yi Huai's blood was about to freeze.
The gas tank was running out of gas, and they couldn't last much longer.
"Do you have a gun?" was all he could think of.His own gun had been left in the car, and now he could only hope that the other party would get into the habit.
"Yes, here."
Nie Xicheng quickly answered his question but had no time to take it out for him.
At 145 kilometers per hour, the speed of the car was already on the verge of losing control. If he accelerated again, he couldn't tell whether they were hit by the opposite side first or flew out directly when turning.
Yi Huai opened the hidden compartment of the car CD according to what he said, and there was a well-maintained P228 pistol inside.
To be honest, it's not very convenient, but there is no need to be picky at this time, he gritted his teeth and picked up the gun, pulled the safety and loaded the bullet with the fastest speed in his life.If this delay continues, even if the tires do not blow out, once the fuel in the fuel tank is exhausted, sooner or later they will be crushed until there is not even a bone left.
"There are ten bullets in it." Nie Xicheng's face turned pale, and his voice changed.
"enough."
The moment Yi Huai unbuckled his seat belt, the truck hit him again. Fortunately, he covered his head with his arms in time, otherwise it would have been all over.
Enduring the dizziness of staring at the stars, he opened the car door, leaned out half of his body, clasped the armrest with one hand, and aimed at the opposite tire with difficulty while moving at high speed with the other hand.
Before he could pull the trigger, there was one, and he had to step back into the car temporarily.There were actually two people on the opposite side, except for the crazy driver. The man in the passenger seat saw his intentions and opened the window of the driver's seat to shoot at him.
At the moment of life and death, he saw something, grabbed it and blocked it, and then leaned out again.
The box containing expensive calligraphy and paintings—it is said that the outer shell is made of carbon fiber—has temporarily acted as a shield. When something hit it, he felt that half of his body was numb from the shock.
clam down.His hands were steady, not shaking as he imagined.
why?
He knew that he shouldn't be distracted at this time, once distracted would mean death.
It was an anti-narcotics policeman who had retired from the front line in Burma who taught him to shoot.It is inappropriate to say that he retreated, because he was betrayed by the ghost during a mission, and he was seriously injured during the mission. He happened to be rescued by Luo Yi's men when he was lying down in the hot and humid swamp waiting to die.
Vicious drug dealers are chasing after him, but the identity of the ghost is still unknown, so he can't return home, so he has to hide his name and do what he can to repay his life-saving grace at Luo Yi's place.
"Nobody is born to shoot. I've seen a lot of kids your age in Myanmar who kill without blinking an eye."
"Don't think about the consequences of shooting, and don't be afraid, because when you need to shoot, the life of you or the person you need to protect must be seriously threatened. There is no more serious consequence than death."
Even if he is really a useless person, there are things he wants to keep.
Nie Xicheng cannot die.He used his own life to make a deal with Luo Yi not to let him die in this place.
Killing Nie Xicheng is tantamount to denying all that he is alive.
"Isn't it easy to aim?" Nie Xicheng was probably too stressed out, "Yi Huai, hurry up!"
He held his breath and pulled the trigger.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the front wheels of the truck behind caught fire. Under the impetus of the rear wheels, the vehicle stood upright, smashed through the railings, and rolled to the side in a terrific way.
The huge impact made him almost lose his grip on the armrest, and then a sweaty hand grabbed him.
"Come in!" Amidst the loud noise, Nie Xicheng almost yelled these words.
The truck at the back might explode at any moment, so Nie Xicheng didn't dare to stop too quickly, and kept moving forward steadily while slowly reducing the speed until the last bit of gasoline in the fuel tank was exhausted.
Yi Huai collapsed on his seat, with only one thought in his mind, and he hit it.
That huge truck that looked like a god of death no longer threatened Nie Xicheng's life.
·
The scarred Buick parked casually on the side of the road, and Yi Huai was pulled out of the car by Nie Xicheng.
He still held the P228 tightly in his hand, and Nie Xicheng tried to take it from him once, but failed.
His joints were sickly pale due to exertion, just like his face—he didn't even know that he was sweating so much, soaking his hair and forehead.
"You did a good job." Nie Xicheng himself was a little overloaded, and he only said this for a long time.
He still remembered to contact the ambulance and Wen Zhicheng's people.
"Really?" Yi Huai looked at the sky with his unfocused eyes, and the huge shining planet made his eyeballs ache.
"Don't look, it will hurt."
Nie Xicheng's warm palm blocked his sight, but he still didn't close his eyes, quietly feeling the bloody halo.
His heart was still beating fast.
"Your phone is ringing."
Hearing what Nie Xicheng said, he remembered to take out the phone from his pocket.
It was... Fei Chuan called.He pressed it mechanically and placed it next to his ear.
He couldn't understand what he was saying.It seems to be asking why he didn't come back to work.
"I...I didn't do it on purpose. I was just... being hunted down, and now..." He stumbled as he spoke, as if speaking had become a very laborious task.
Fei Chuan's voice was too loud, he had a headache when he heard it, and subconsciously wanted to hang up.
"Yi Huai, ask the person next to you to answer the phone."
This time it seemed that a different person answered the phone, the voice was a little familiar, and he could understand every word, but he didn't move when the combination meant anything.
The phone was pulled from his hand.
Nie Xicheng talked to the other side calmly, "It's me, he is with me now... Sorry Mr. Luo, it should be aimed at me."
It's Luo Yi.Yi Huai thought belatedly, lowered his head, his gaze fell on the concrete floor in front of him, and was about to say that he was fine, when he suddenly vomited out.
The economic development of Rongcheng regards the city center as the center of a circle and radiates to all directions. Bogu Hutong is located in the old district near the outskirts of the city.
