Wu Mei breathed slowly as she lay in the dark coffin. She estimated that there were only two to three hours before dawn…
The villa was as quiet as usual. Could it be that the mercenaries and the Viper Organization will give up on their plan to take action tonight?
Wu Mei frowned and turned to stare in Li Nanchen’s direction. She was about to say something to him, when she heard a short and rapid scream coming from the living room!
“Ah…” The servant’s voice quickly disappeared and was replaced by the sound of footsteps.
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen instantly became alert. All the blood in their bodies rushed up in excitement. They are finally here!
The servant raised her arm and stood in front of the coffin. She tried her best to pull herself together and stopped him in a low voice, “You can’t open the coffin. Please respect President Li and let him rest in peace!”
Li Zhuo looked a little tired. He had taken the flight back to China half a day earlier just to verify Li Nanchen’s death and get rid of Wu Mei, who had been causing trouble for them! Otherwise, Li Zhuo would keep feeling uneasy…
He respectfully took out three joss sticks and placed them in the incense burner. He pushed the maid aside and said, “I’m back to pay my respects to Nanchen. Why are you stopping me?”
“We haven’t seen each other in many years. I have to see if he left peacefully in the end!”
Li Zhuo walked straight to the coffin, his two hands pressing on the lid as he slowly pushed it open. The sound of the wood rubbing against each other was like the music from a horror movie. The servant was so frightened that her face turned pale and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground as she dared not move an inch…
Wu Mei was a little impatient. She was worried that Li Zhuo’s commotion would wake Old Master Li up. She had to find a way to get rid of him!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few gunshots could be heard from outside. It was as if someone had accidentally pulled the trigger beforehand. Wu Mei and Li Nanchen stared at each other as they held onto the smoke bomb and gun, waiting silently!
The mercenaries carried their submachine guns and kicked open the door of the villa’s living room. They arrogantly barged in. When they saw the servant and Li Zhuo, they were stunned for a moment. Then, they quickly grabbed their collars and threw them aside. They cursed in disdain, “Get lost! Don’t get in the way of me getting my reward!”
The leader of the mercenaries looked at the three joss sticks and sneered. He flipped them over and headed straight for the coffin.
The servant was still in shock and stood up in a panic. She covered her ears and screamed as she ran out. Li Zhuo was so frightened that he had his back pressed against the coffin and kept trembling…
The mercenaries pointed their guns at the edge of the coffin, wanting to smash open the coffin and take Li Nanchen’s body away!
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen secretly gestured with their hands to say, “Three, two, one”. They threw out the fuse to ignite the smoke bomb. Taking advantage of the moment when the mercenaries were slightly flustered and surprised, the two of them jumped out from the coffin one after another. They picked up the machine guns and bullets that were hidden inside and fired at the mercenaries in front of them!
A few mercenaries got injured in the unexpected battle. Some of them fell to the ground while others stopped in their tracks and clutched their bleeding wounds.
“You’re not dead!”
The mercenaries looked for cover to hide and looked at Li Nanchen in shock. His movements were somewhat sluggish as he had just recovered from his serious injuries and he deliberately revealed an opening…
The assassins had indeed fallen for the trap. They laughed hysterically and said, “There’s really no point in taking the corpse away. Things are getting interesting now!”
A bloodthirsty smile appeared in their eyes. They looked at Li Nanchen as if they were looking at their prey. They licked their teeth as they loaded magazines and took out their daggers to prepare themselves. They said with great interest, “Since you’re not dead, let’s join forces to send you to the Western Paradise tonight!”
“This mourning hall should be of some use after all!”
“Brothers, kill him!”
“We’ll split the reward equally!”
The mercenaries and assassins charged forward at the same time. The flames of war escalated and gunshots rang out incessantly.
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen were somewhat suppressed by the powerful firepower and kept retreating to the front of the coffin. The two of them tacitly glanced at the empty space on the left side of the coffin, wanting to temporarily dodge. Wu Mei propped herself up with one hand and wanted to cross to the other side of the coffin. Her body soared into the air, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Li Zhuo cowering with his head buried in his hands!
Damn it! Just as Wu Mei wanted to avoid him, who was in shock, the assassin’s bullet brushed past her arm…
The stinging pain caused Wu Mei’s brows to furrow her anger. Gritting her teeth, she picked Li Zhuo up and kicked him in the chest. “Sorry!”
“It’s very dangerous right now. We also just want to protect you!”
Li Zhuo flew out like cotton and his back crashed against the wall. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and tasted a bloody taste in his mouth. He felt like all the bones in his body were in pain as if they had been broken.. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the mercenary’s corpse beside him and was frightened out of his wits.
