The attacker lunged at him again. Left with no choice, Jiang Lihao gritted his teeth and confronted the man head - on.
At this moment, Huo Cheng seemed to be entangled by his opponents and couldn't break free at all.
Jiang Lihao threw the brick in his hand. The man barely dodged it, and both of them were stunned. Now, Jiang Lihao was completely unarmed.
Before the man could react, Jiang Lihao took off running. Taking advantage of the chaos, he picked up an unknown object and charged back at the man.
The fight was tough, but he wasn't completely overwhelmed. Jiang Lihao had cuts and bruises on his face and body.
He gasped for breath and glanced over at Huo Cheng. Although Huo Cheng seemed to be more powerful than him, it was obvious that he was also struggling.
This won't do. If it goes on like this, they'll lose.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Sisi. There were only two men left around her, and they seemed to be the weaker ones in the group.
He had to start with those two and rescue Gu Sisi first.
He slowly backed away in that direction, approaching Huo Cheng. The two exchanged a look, and Huo Cheng immediately stepped in front of him, knocking down the already weakened man who had been following Jiang Lihao with a single punch.
There were already four or five people lying haphazardly on the ground. The people around were becoming more and more wary of Huo Cheng.
Jiang Lihao gave Huo Cheng a look, and Huo Cheng immediately understood. He nodded, and Jiang Lihao finally let out a sigh of relief.
The two pretended to cooperate but were actually getting closer to Gu Sisi.
The leader seemed to sense something and stopped the people who were charging forward recklessly.
He gave a look to the man in front of him. Jiang Lihao sensed something was wrong. Seeing the man's sinister smile, he looked behind him and saw a man raising a stick and aiming it straight at Huo Cheng.
Without a moment to think, Jiang Lihao pushed Huo Cheng away forcefully. Huo Cheng looked back in confusion and saw the stick land on the back of Jiang Lihao's head.
With a “thud”, Gu Sisi heard the sound and struggled even more desperately.
Jiang Lihao slowly collapsed to the ground. He felt blood blur his vision, and his head felt extremely heavy. He blinked his eyelids, as if he couldn't think anymore. Everything around him seemed to slow down.
“Jiang Lihao!” His left hand felt lighter, and he heard Huo Cheng's panicked shout.
It was all over. He was about to lose his strength. This was the only thought in his mind.
His lips moved slightly. Huo Cheng leaned in and heard his weak voice: “Don't fight them head - on. Maybe you should admit defeat first. We'll win when our reinforcements arrive.”
Huo Cheng looked at his half - closed eyes struggling to stay open and felt a strange emotion in his heart.
He whispered in his ear: “Don't worry about me. I've received special training. Taking on these guys is a piece of cake.”
This was the first time Huo Cheng said this in front of Jiang Lihao. He just wanted to reassure him.
Jiang Lihao exhaled, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He had noticed earlier that Huo Cheng had an extraordinary build. It seemed his guess was right.
The next second, under Huo Cheng's gaze, he fell into a deep slumber.
Huo Cheng slowly stood up. The people who had been slowly approaching him immediately took a few steps back. The person in front even stepped on the foot of the one behind.
His eyes were blood - red. Huo Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Come at me all at once!”
His tone was extremely arrogant, and his aura was extremely powerful, like an emissary from hell.
The people around hesitated.
Huo Cheng walked straight towards Gu Sisi. The two men behind her became nervous. One of them put a knife to Gu Sisi's neck.
Trying to look calm, he said, “Take one more step, and she's a goner.”
“Really?”
Before the man could react, in just a few seconds, Huo Cheng suddenly appeared in front of him. The man's hand trembled. Huo Cheng glanced at him and chopped at his neck. The man slowly fell to the ground.
The man who had knocked Jiang Lihao unconscious was extremely nervous when he saw this. Before he could move his feet, Huo Cheng appeared in front of him. With a swift movement, the knife that the man's comrade had been holding was now in Huo Cheng's hand and plunged into the man's abdomen.
Huo Cheng twisted the knife. The man's facial features contorted, and the next second, he lost consciousness.
“All together!” Huo Cheng emphasized again.
This time, they didn't dare to hesitate and surrounded him.
Taking advantage of the lack of supervision, Gu Sisi quickly broke free from her restraints, removed the blindfold and the tape from her mouth. What she saw was Huo Cheng fighting a group of people, and among the people lying on the ground in front of her was Jiang Lihao.
“Ah!” She let out a scream, swayed from side to side, and fell to the ground with the chair. After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to get close to one of the people on the ground.
She pulled out a knife. Although it was covered in blood, she didn't care. Gu Sisi quickly cut the ropes that bound her to the chair. With the last cut, she was finally free.
Gu Sisi gasped for breath and lay on the ground. Then she summoned all her strength and got up.
She crouched beside Jiang Lihao, checked his breathing, and let out a sigh of relief when she felt his breath. Seeing the spreading blood, she quickly took off her coat, tore it into strips, and bandaged the wound.
After doing all this, she finally relaxed.
She didn't know how grateful she was for having eaten so much at noon, which gave her the strength to do all this.
The leader looked at the crazy Huo Cheng, and his expression gradually froze. This man not only had high fighting skills but also seemed to get stronger as the fight went on, showing no sign of weakening.
Among his men, only a few were still fighting desperately.
He happened to glance at the relaxed Gu Sisi. The two locked eyes.
Gu Sisi's pupils dilated. She quickly got up and ran, shouting for help, “Help!”
Huo Cheng, who was fending off his opponents, glanced at the situation over there and kicked the man in front of him directly against the wall.
With a “thud”, Huo Cheng stepped back. The men exchanged a nervous look and followed him cautiously, hunched over.
The leader was slowly approaching Gu Sisi. If he could catch her, he could control that crazy man.
He threw down his weapon, cornered Gu Sisi, and walked straight towards her.
Gu Sisi squatted down, watching the man getting closer.
With a “thud”, the man fell to the ground beside her. She quickly got up.
Huo Cheng retracted his foot, pulled Gu Sisi into his arms, and stared at the few men who didn't dare to move.
“Get out of here!”
The men exchanged a look and then turned around and ran away at full speed.
“I... I'm...,” Gu Sisi stammered through her sobs. The calm woman from before had now become extremely panicked.
She had never thought she would be kidnapped.
“Sorry,” Huo Cheng comforted Gu Sisi, patting her on the back. He whispered in her ear, “It's all because of me that you've been constantly in danger.”
Huo Cheng had thought about it for a long time before finally saying this.
Gu Sisi looked at him with teary eyes. Just as she was about to ask something, a group of people rushed in, and the dark room suddenly became brightly lit.
The hospital and police personnel had arrived. They escorted Jiang Lihao onto the ambulance with the doctors.
