Ye Qiu only noticed when the gunshot rang out that the bald dwarf had somehow produced a gun in his left hand.
Moreover, the muzzle was pointed directly at his heart.
“Not good, this guy is an assassin.”
Ye Qiu was shocked, but at this moment, it was already too late to avoid.
It must be said, the bald dwarf had impeccable timing. At this moment, Ye Qiu was supporting him with his right hand, and the distance between them was no more than thirty centimeters. It could be said, this was a fatal strike.
If it were Tang Fei or Long Ye, they would certainly be dead. Unfortunately for the bald dwarf, he had encountered Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu stood still, allowing the bullet to hit his heart.
“Clang!”
A light sound, and the bullet was immediately deflected.
“This…” The bald dwarf’s pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly stepped back.
The first rule of being an assassin: if you can’t kill your opponent, retreat immediately, do not linger.
But how could Ye Qiu let him have his way?
“Whoosh!”
Ye Qiu stepped forward, his five fingers like hooks, grabbing towards the bald dwarf’s throat.
The bald dwarf squatted down, hiding under the dining table, making full use of his height advantage.
Ye Qiu’s fingers landed on the dining table, instantly piercing five holes in the stainless steel table. One could imagine, if his fingers had grabbed the bald dwarf’s throat, the bald dwarf would certainly be dead.
“Bang!”
The gunshot rang out again.
The bald dwarf, hiding under the table, shot at Ye Qiu’s calf, but the result was the same as before.
The bullet hit Ye Qiu’s calf and was deflected again.
“How can this be?”
The bald dwarf was shocked. In all his years as an assassin, he had never seen anything like this. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.
“Damn, this guy is like Iron Man.”
Just as the bald dwarf thought this, he felt a sense of crisis and immediately looked up to see a fist smashing through the table, coming straight for his head.
“Not good!”
The bald dwarf leaned back, quickly lying flat on the floor, narrowly avoiding Ye Qiu’s fist.
Then, as if his back was oiled, he slid swiftly across the floor, lightning-fast, to a spot five meters away.
Before the bald dwarf could get up from the ground, a bullet whistled past.
“Bang!”
Tang Fei had fired.
The bald dwarf, calm in the face of danger, rolled on the ground to dodge the bullet, then performed several backflips, landing steadily on his feet.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to charge forward, a cold, stern voice rang out: “Stop!”
Ye Qiu turned to see Long Ye being held hostage by the beautiful woman.
The woman had her left arm around Long Ye’s neck, and in her right hand, she held a dagger pressed against his throat.
“Drop your weapons, or I’ll kill him first,” the woman said, her face cold as frost, her voice filled with killing intent, a stark contrast to her previously sexy and noble appearance.
“Who are you people?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Enough talk, drop the gun,” the woman barked at Tang Fei.
Tang Fei hesitated for three seconds, then threw down his gun.
The other people in the restaurant had never seen such a scene before. Seeing that both sides had guns, they were too scared to move, not even daring to breathe loudly.
As for the thugs, they had already been scared out of their wits, lying on the ground not daring to move.
“We’ve never met before, and my friend even helped you solve a problem. Why are you trying to kill us?”
Ye Qiu asked knowingly.
He knew that this man and woman were surely sent by Bai Yujing to deal with him. He was talking nonsense to buy time, looking for a favorable opportunity to rescue Long Ye.
“Problem?” The woman glanced at the thugs on the ground and sneered, “I just didn’t want to dirty my hands, otherwise, trash like them, I could take care of them in minutes.”
Long Ye said, “Beauty, no matter what, the fact is I helped you out. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but there’s no need to treat me like this, right?”
“Shut up—”
“Beauty, you can tell me to shut up, but could you move a bit further away? You’re pressing against me. If I’m not mistaken, you probably don’t have a 36D, do you?”
The woman’s beautiful face was filled with killing intent as she shouted, “Stop joking around. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll send you to meet the King of Hell.”
“Beauty, I’m so handsome, would you really send me to meet the King of Hell? Besides, I wasn’t born yesterday…”
Before Long Ye could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
The dagger had pierced his skin.
Fortunately, it hadn’t gone too deep.
“Who are you people?” Ye Qiu asked again.
The bald dwarf walked over to the woman and, looking at Ye Qiu, smiled, “Kid, ever heard of Asura and Rakshasa?”
Ye Qiu shook his head. He had never heard these names before, but Tang Fei beside him suddenly changed his expression.
“Weren’t you abroad? When did you come back?” Tang Fei asked in shock.
“Oh, looks like someone knows us,” the bald dwarf glanced at Tang Fei and smiled, “We didn’t want to come back, but someone offered a high price for Ye Qiu’s life.”
“What’s their background?” Ye Qiu asked.
Tang Fei said gravely, “Asura and Rakshasa are among the top ten assassins on the world’s most wanted list. They are a couple, and the number of people they’ve killed is countless.”
“After committing crimes in China, they fled abroad. Over the years, the authorities have been trying to capture them, but they never returned to the country.”
“I never thought they’d show up here today.”
So they’re fugitives, then they deserve to die.
Ye Qiu’s eyes turned cold as he asked, “I want to know, how much did they offer to make you take such a risk to come back and kill me?”
“Kid, your life is really valuable. They promised us five billion if we kill you.”
The bald dwarf laughed, “After killing you, we can retire, find a quiet island overseas, and have a bunch of kids. How about that, honey?”
The bald dwarf turned to look at the woman.
The woman said, “Honey, let’s not talk about that now. Let’s deal with Ye Qiu first.”
“Right, honey, you’re right. Let’s deal with him first…” The bald dwarf turned his head, and his expression suddenly changed, “Where’s Ye Qiu? How did he disappear?”
The woman was also stunned. How could a living person just vanish like that?
“Bang!”
At that moment, the bald dwarf was punched from behind and sent flying. Immediately after, the woman heard a calm voice by her ear, “Such a beauty, why be a thief?”
The woman immediately recognized it as Ye Qiu’s voice. She quickly swung her right hand, thrusting the dagger to the side.
The next second, all movement stopped.
Because her neck was gripped by Ye Qiu, and she couldn’t muster any strength.
“Don’t be an assassin in your next life. Try to be a good girl,” Ye Qiu said as he tightened his grip.
“Crack!”
The woman’s throat was crushed, and she died with wide, unseeing eyes.
