Chapter 2353: Chapter 157: Do You Know How Dangerous It Was Just Now
Ye Zhan’s brows were cold and his gaze was icy!
He could hear every word of the conversation between Momo and Shi Dongliang clearly, and his sharp eyes stayed fixed on Shi Dongliang, mind racing to find the best rescue opportunity.
He knew Momo was talking to Shi Dongliang to relax his guard and give him a chance to strike.
“If I can’t save my life, I must at least preserve my reputation.”
Momo raised an eyebrow and glared coldly at Shi Dongliang.
Her stubborn expression seemed to say, even if you kill me, you can’t destroy my reputation.
It really matched someone like her, of such a background and age.
Shi Dongliang looked up at Ye Zhan, “Ye Zhan, did you hear that? As long as you let me go, I’ll release her.”
“Release them, and I’ll let you go.”
Ye Zhan’s voice came coldly.
Every word was firm, leaving no room for doubt.
“So much has happened today, I’m not going to the airport anymore. You better arrange a helicopter immediately, or these two pretty young girls will die before I do.”
As he spoke, he pressed the gun barrel hard against Momo’s temple.
Momo tensed her brow with pain, her body slightly stiffening.
“Alright, I agree to your demand.”
Ye Zhan tried to ignore the fact that Momo was being held by Shi Dongliang, trying to treat her like an ordinary hostage.
However, he found himself unable to do so.
His gaze involuntarily fell on her pale little face.
In his heart, it felt as if countless thin strings were tugging at him, not painful, but extremely uncomfortable.
All of Shi Dongliang’s assets were with him now, all he needed was to leave the Imperial City, leave Country A.
So what he needed was just passage from Ye Zhan and a plane.
“Get a helicopter ready at once.”
Ye Zhan instructed an aide beside him.
The aide immediately responded and made a call to arrange it.
After giving instructions, Ye Zhan turned back to stare at Shi Dongliang, “Shi Dongliang, you’re a famous figure. It’s disgraceful to trouble two young girls this way. Release them, and your plane will arrive shortly.”
“If I let them go, won’t the people behind you turn me into a sieve?” Shi Dongliang sneered, did Ye Zhan take him for a fool?
“I can be your hostage, much more valuable than they are.”
Ye Zhan pursed his lips, speaking slowly and surely.
Shi Dongliang’s eyes flashed with consideration as he heard this.
Ye Zhan continued, “You’re well aware of the crimes you’ve committed. If it were anyone else, you wouldn’t escape even if you held them hostage.”
The implication was clear.
Not everyone puts hostages first.
Especially for fugitives like Shi Dongliang.
Shi Dongliang also knew that if it were his enemies coming after him, even with Momo and Qin Qingqing there, it wouldn’t guarantee he’d get away without being shot.
In a way, Ye Zhan was indeed more useful than the two of them…
“I can allow you to switch, but you can only switch one, and you must shoot yourself in the arm.”
As his words fell, Momo’s face suddenly changed, “Ye Zhan, don’t believe him.”
That pervert asked Ye Zhan to shoot himself.
Was he insane?
“You can choose not to believe, and I can give you another option.”
“…”
Ye Zhan looked coldly at Shi Dongliang.
He laughed and said, “You can also choose to shoot either one of them.”
“I’ll shoot myself, and you release both of them.”
Ye Zhan decisively aimed the gun at his own arm, his expression firm and resolute.
Watching Momo and Qin Qingqing’s faces pale even further.
“I can only release one; I need to keep one to stop your bleeding.” Shi Dongliang was very satisfied with Ye Zhan’s compliance.
Momo’s eyes reddened as she shook her head at Ye Zhan, “Ye Zhan, don’t be so foolish. Even if you harm yourself, he won’t spare us.”
“Are you so afraid of Ye Zhan, Shi Dongliang?”
Momo’s mocking voice rang out clearly.
Shi Dongliang’s face darkened, and he heard her say, “Sister Momo and I in your hands, we’ve already prepared for the worst. Ye Zhan, don’t worry about us, just shoot him full of holes and avenge my mom. I’ll be grateful to you even in the afterlife.”
“Ha, even now you want to avenge your mom?”
Shi Dongliang asked coldly.
“Even if I become a ghost, I’ll seek revenge on you.”
Qin Qingqing showed no fear.
“Shi Dongliang, did you kill my Aunt An?”
Momo looked shocked at Shi Dongliang, as if she hadn’t expected him to be the murderer.
“Sister Momo, he is the murderer who killed my mom. I originally thought, as long as I could avenge my mom, I’d give up my life without hesitation. But now, it seems I’ve implicated you.”
Momo mentioned her mom, her emotions becoming suddenly agitated.
Her eyes quickly filled with tears, making anyone who saw it feel heartache.
“Ye Zhan, what are you hesitating for? Killing him would not only avenge my mom but also earn you credit.”
“I don’t want to die, but if my death can avenge Aunt An, I’m willing.”
Momo smiled gently at Qin Qingqing.
After saying this, she glanced at Ye Zhan, suddenly reaching for Shi Dongliang’s gun, with a clear sense of courting death.
“You crazy woman.”
Shi Dongliang didn’t expect Momo to suddenly grab his gun.
And Qin Qingqing, upon seeing Momo in action, moved without hesitation.
Ye Zhan understood Momo’s intention from her look just now.
His heart jolted, and without thinking, he fired at Shi Dongliang.
The precise shot hit his arm the instant the gun barrel left her temple, the bullet whistling through with a chilling sound.
Simultaneously, his form moved like lightning, rushing over to grab Momo as shots were fired at her, rolling them both to the ground. His bullets swiftly targeting the shooters.
The dozens of special forces behind him almost fired simultaneously.
Qin Qingqing, already somewhat skilled, made a sudden move while the opponent was unprepared.
With her clever agility, she dodged bullets aimed at her, lowering her body and sweeping her leg to trip the man who had held her, also wounded by a comrade’s shot due to her evasion.
In the next second, a nearby figure rushed over to shield her.
The entire process took less than two minutes, yet it was a battle of life and death.
Truly brief and thrilling.
Qin Qingqing’s fear settled only when she saw Momo, unharmed and protected by Ye Zhan.
Looking back at Shi Dongliang, one arm was profusely bleeding, both legs shot.
But none of the injuries were fatal.
With someone like him, they wouldn’t directly shoot him dead.
Like her, Momo was held by Ye Zhan during those rolls, her heart almost came to a standstill.
The bullet brushing past her ear felt like a call from death, yet it was dispelled by the familiar, soothing scent of a man.
Something suddenly broke through the soil of her heart, quietly growing.
She had not yet calmed down.
Ye Zhan had already helped her up, his strong hands gripping her arm almost painfully without her noticing.
He examined her from head to toe, making sure she wasn’t hurt.
His face darkened, suddenly he scolded sharply, “Do you realize how dangerous that was? If I’d been a second slower, do you know what the result would have been?”
