Qin Feng made a prompt decision. "No, we can't act rashly. There are too many of them."
Xie Bingxia found a thin string, bit it in her mouth, and tied her slightly long hair into a small ponytail. "We can just sneak in quietly without being discovered."
"Do you really think you're a spy?" Qin Feng showed his helplessness and still refused to agree. "Now that we're a team, we can only proceed with a plan that both of us agree on."
Xie Bingxia simply ignored him. She was used to being self - willed. Besides, they couldn't just sit and wait for death. Was there a better plan than sneaking in?
She had just opened the car door when there was a loud bang. The drone in the sky turned into a gorgeous firework and disappeared in an instant. Qin Feng shouted, "Damn it! The drone was hit!"
"What?" Xie Bingxia felt a sense of foreboding well up in her chest, and it was soon realized. As the drone disappeared, several black muzzles were pointed at them.
Qin Feng threw away the drone controller and slowly raised his hands.
A foreigner with a cigarette in his mouth walked out of the crowd and motioned to Xie Bingxia. "Come with me."
It seemed that they had failed before they even started.
The two were disarmed and taken into a seaside factory. Each of them was hit on the back of the head with a rifle butt and then knelt on the ground. Xie Bingxia carefully sized up these people. They were all wearing the same casual clothes and hiking boots, which were convenient for movement. Although not all of them were holding guns, judging from the situation just now, there were quite a few weapons.
There was no way out. This was the only phrase that came to Xie Bingxia's mind. Fortunately, there were no black scorpion tattoos on them, which at least meant they were not on the same side as the villains - there was a chance for negotiation.
So, Xie Bingxia spoke first. "I apologize for trespassing on your territory. We came here suddenly because we're looking for someone."
The previous foreigner glanced at Xie Bingxia, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a couple of puffs, and shook his head. "There's no one you're looking for here."
"Okay. Since there's no one, can you let us go?"
The foreigner still shook his head but didn't say a word, which made Xie Bingxia feel quite confused. Qin Feng leaned over and whispered in her ear, "They don't seem to want to kill us. If they did, they would have shot us already."
Xie Bingxia thought so too and continued to ask, "What do you want? Just say it directly."
The foreigner said to the person beside him, "Go and call the BOSS."
Going straight to the point. It was quite straightforward. Xie Bingxia decided to play it by ear. When the so - called BOSS finally showed up, her heart sank completely.
"Hello, Miss Xie." The BOSS reached out his hand. There was a distinct black scorpion tattoo on the back of his hand.
The BOSS was a young, blond - haired and blue - eyed man in a decent suit. Even though Xie Bingxia and the others gave him dirty looks, he was still polite. In Xie Bingxia's eyes, it was just a smile hiding a dagger.
Ah, this was really the worst situation. Xie Bingxia felt extremely bitter.
"You can call me Ethan." The man said as he took out a U - disk from his pocket and showed it to Xie Bingxia. "Are you looking for this?"
"Words are useless." Xie Bingxia frowned. "Let my friend go. He has nothing to do with this. If you have any grudges, come at me."
"Bingxia! What are you talking about?" Qin Feng was anxious. He turned to Ethan and said, "If you want to kill or torture someone, come at me!"
"Shut up!" Xie Bingxia shouted. "If you say one more word, I'll break off relations with you!"
Ethan burst into laughter and even clapped for them. "What a deep - seated affection. Don't you understand your current situation?"
"You're not in a position to negotiate with me." Ethan's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Drag them away and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
The strong men came up. One of them grabbed Xie Bingxia under his arm, and the other directly carried Qin Feng on his shoulder. They walked to the dock. The two were pressed to the ground, and a strong man immediately pointed his pistol at Qin Feng.
Facing death, Qin Feng wasn't afraid. He turned to look at Xie Bingxia, his eyes more passionate than ever.
"Bingxia, we can't live together in this life, but we can die together. I'll go first. May we be reunited in love in the next life."
"What are you talking nonsense about!" Xie Bingxia scolded. "Giving up now doesn't seem like you at all!"
Qin Feng's hot tears were about to burst out. He shouted, "Xie Bingxia, I'll always love you!"
Bang, bang, bang. The bullets flew like the wind, piercing through Qin Feng's body. He gritted his teeth, fell backward, and instantly plunged into the sea.
"Qin Feng -" Xie Bingxia's eyes were blood - red. She didn't care if the others would continue shooting at her. She rolled on the spot and jumped into the sea after him.
The two entered the water one after another. Xie Bingxia swam desperately downward, trying to catch Qin Feng's body that was sinking to the bottom of the sea. Even if she was going to die, she couldn't let Qin Feng be alone.
The oxygen in her lungs was quickly depleted. The invisible pressure was squeezing out her last bit of consciousness.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her ankle and pulled her up. Xie Bingxia looked back and saw the big guy. She was furious and started kicking and struggling desperately.
The big guy held on tightly. One hand wasn't enough, so he used the other. As Xie Bingxia struggled, she spat out a string of bubbles. It was obvious that she had swallowed some water. Without thinking twice, the big guy swam up a few steps and grabbed Xie Bingxia by the collar.
When their lips touched, Xie Bingxia was in disbelief. Even the strength to push him away melted in the gradually rising body temperature of the two. A familiar sense of warmth even calmed her down. Even in the cold sea water, she could feel a warm current surging from her eyes. The sorrow in her chest over the past few days was gradually emptied.
Then, the big guy grabbed Xie Bingxia and took her up to the surface.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Xie Bingxia lay on the dock, coughing frantically. As soon as she regained consciousness, she jumped up and grabbed the big guy's clothes. "You traitor! Is it fun to play with me?"
The big guy held Xie Bingxia's cold hand. There was a hint of emotion in his usually emotionless eyes. The man who never smiled actually curled his lips proudly. "It seems your IQ is still online."
Xie Bingxia's face flushed instantly. She was extremely angry and said, "After kissing me, you still don't think I can recognize you. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!" At this time, Qin Feng was fished out of the water. He coughed frantically. After regaining consciousness, he immediately felt his body. There was no blood!
"So I'm not dead!" Qin Feng almost cried. Xie Bingxia ran over worriedly but was picked up around the waist. A deep voice sounded in her ear. "Don't go. It's a punishment for him."
"Punishment?"
"He claimed to be your fiancé and even boasted that he would be reunited with you in the next life. That made me very angry. I had to bully him a bit to vent my anger."
Xie Bingxia really wanted to punch him but couldn't help feeling extremely happy. All her grievances finally turned into just one sentence. "You're so annoying!"
After Qin Feng confirmed that he was completely fine and hadn't lost a single piece of flesh, he jumped up and pointed at the big guy, shouting, "Let Bingxia go! Come at me!"
"Huh?" He was a bit suspicious of his own eyes. Xie Bingxia was being held by that man. Why wasn't she angry at all and had a blushing face?
"Who the hell are you?"
The big guy's sharp eyes stared at him, along with that annoying voice. "Young Master Qin, don't you recognize me?" Then he touched the back of his neck and slowly peeled off the human - skin mask on his face.
"You, you, you... It's a ghost!" Qin Feng had never seen a dead person come back to life. He thought his survival was just an illusion and that he was actually in hell. He pinched his thigh hard a few times. Only when he felt the pain did he confirm that all this was real.
Gu Bei wasn't dead. He was back!
"Okay, the joke is over. Let me introduce someone to you." Gu Bei put Xie Bingxia down and pointed at the blond - haired and blue - eyed man. "Ethan Kovic, my partner."
