Fine fine! As long as you let go of Elizabeth, we will let you leave! James said, face full of urgency.
But the burly man did not even glance at him. He just stared at Lu Zheng and Lin Wan.
Lu Zheng scoffed. Let you leave? Who are you?
James had not spoken yet when Louis looked at Lu Zheng with anger. Let him go! Can you not see he will kill Elizabeth?
Lu Zheng slanted a look at Louis. It made him shiver. Only then did he remember the two’s godlike performance just now.
He shook, and Louis chickened out…
Lu Zheng snorted coldly and turned back. If not for James’s kind reminder earlier, he might not have even bothered to act.
Step back, or I will kill…
Bang!
Thud!
On the surface, Lu Zheng hit the burly man’s forehead with a flying stone, knocking him out directly.
In reality, to make sure he stayed out, he secretly hit him with a Jin Que Heart Sword.
He clapped his hands. Done and dusted.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged a smile. Lu Zheng laughed. Fun enough?
Lin Wan shrugged. Not bad.
They spoke in Chinese. The six nearby could not understand, but they could see the two’s easy comfort. It shocked them greatly.
Seeing the burly man faint, James reacted first. He rushed to Elizabeth and pulled her straight into his arms.
The others paused a few seconds, then all cried out in relief, let out a breath, bodies going limp, nearly collapsing.
After a moment to recover, George and Katherine hurried to Lu Zheng and Lin Wan. Faces full of shock and disbelief, they looked at the two and thanked them repeatedly.
Thank God! You… are you Chinese agents? Thank you!
Tha… thank you so much. Really, if not for you, we would be dead. Katherine sobbed and hugged Lin Wan’s arm. Lin Wan thought a bit and did not pull away.
Then, James, half holding Elizabeth, came up too.
I finally get why you two dare to travel alone. You are so amazing! James said with awe, then asked with a sigh. Is this Chinese kung fu?
Charging into a hail of bullets, dodging them all raw. That is ace agent stuff. Eye opener!
Seeing Lu Zheng look over, Elizabeth’s eyes dodged a bit. She subconsciously tried to pull from James. But he held tight. She could not break free for a moment.
James thought she wanted to thank them properly, so he let go quick.
Thank you!
Compared to Katherine and the other woman’s panic, Elizabeth had fear in her eyes too, but stayed relatively calm from start to finish.
No problem.
Seeing Lin Wan comfort Katherine, Lu Zheng waved a hand. Just happened to run into it.
F**k! You are so strong, why not act at the start… Louis, still shaken, came up cursing.
Louis!
His girlfriend Nina jumped in fright. She pulled his arm anxiously quick. Elizabeth and George turned back right away to cut him off.
I… I just did not want everyone scared, right?
Louis muttered twice. He turned and saw Lu Zheng’s indifferent eyes. Only then did he realise this was not England. Lu Zheng was not those humble, weak Chinese in England.
He pursed his lips and chickened out again.
What about these guys? James could not help asking Lu Zheng.
What else? Kill them, let them go, or hand them to the authorities. Lu Zheng said indifferently.
Seeing Lin Wan finish comforting Katherine, Lu Zheng greeted her. Then the two walked to their car together.
You not coming with us? James could not help asking.
They killed your guards and guide, not mine. We just did a good deed. What is it to us?
Lu Zheng waved. You have satellite phones, right? Call for backup!
By the way, what are your names? Leave a contact. We want to thank you. Elizabeth hurried after.
The others only then realised. They all still did not know each other.
Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng with amusement.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, looking smug. Then he waved again, pointed at those men.
You already thanked us. Also, tie up those just fainted ones tight. Careful they wake.
Oh oh!
Elizabeth jumped at that, stopped quick. Then she saw Lu Zheng and Lin Wan get in the jeep on the hill and drive off.
That pretty blonde fancies you. Lin Wan teased.
Lu Zheng said seriously. Shame she is not my type.
Lin Wan was pleased, but said, Pfft, she is pretty, okay.
Still miles from you.
Hehe, true! Lin Wan did not hold back at all.
They rounded the hill, drove off. On the road, they saw another pickup. But it was blown to bits. The black frame still burned with flames.
Hit by an RPG?
Lu Zheng waved, summoned a rain cloud. This patch of sky started drizzling. Soon it put out the flames.
…
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan left. The six at the fight site looked at each other.
They are like Batman and Catwoman. So cool! James said.
Elizabeth and Katherine nodded hard.
F**k! Come on, superheroes? No names left. I say they are international fugitives! Louis grumbled while tying the burly man.
Do not talk nonsense. Which fugitive travels Africa unarmed. George said annoyed. And kindly saves us? Lucky they did not silence us too!
They are so strong. Could have saved Kahn and them right away. Louis said harshly. I think they never planned to act at first!
James frowned at that. But Elizabeth said calmly, Louis, they saved us. Besides, even if they did not act, what is the issue?
Louis glared. They could save us but watched us die. No issue?
Elizabeth paused, too lazy to argue more.
James jumped in quick to smooth. Okay Louis. Anyway, we are safe now. I will call the embassy, notify Tanzanian officials.
Louis pursed his lips, spat. Muttered low, Bloody hell. Kahn dead. Big payout in compensation.
On the other side, James came back from the call. Embassy notified Tanzanian officials. They will be here soon.
George grabbed a rifle, whacked a burly man who seemed to stir on the head hard, knocked him out again.
…
On the fourth day, when Lu Zheng and Lin Wan finished another loop in Serengeti National Park, reached Arusha, returned the jeep to the rental company’s Arusha branch, they saw the related news on TV.
[Six English Heroes, Brave Fight Against Poachers]
This station reports. Six gentlemen and ladies from England, while filming an animal protection documentary, were accidentally attacked by poachers. But with help from their guards, and two unnamed tourists from China, they finally captured all the poachers!
Tsk tsk, on TV.
Regret it? If we stayed, it would be us on TV. Now we feel like sidekicks, extras.
No way! I do not want fame! Do you?
Stop messing. I am Interpol! Want to go on missions later?
The two joked happily. They treated it as a minor blip, nothing big. After all, no names left, and they held back, only showed martial arts.
As for moving easy in bullet storms, Lin Wan showed it in Japan already. It is no magic skill. Trained agents can do it. See those in Hollywood movies?
So after nearly ten days in Africa, fully satisfied, the two boarded the flight from Arusha to Dar es Salaam. Then enjoyed some sun and beach, before connecting home.
…
In another vast, luxurious estate, in a dim room, the TV played this international news too.
Next moment, an old man hurled the remote hard.
Why are the others fine, but my son is a vegetable!?
He just went hunting a lion to relax. How did this happen!?
These killers who harmed my son! Whether the six English or the two Chinese, I will not let one go!
