Chapter 800: Another Chance Encounter

~7 min read 1,395 words

Everyone in the room was given a huge fright.

The few subordinates standing behind the two men instantly drew their weapons, staring vigilantly toward the doorway.

Immediately following—another "Bang!" sound!

Li Xiao walked in directly with his men, the gun in his hand pointing straight at the "Mr. Chu" who had just been speaking.

The people behind him were also all holding guns, their gazes sweeping across the face of everyone in the room.

The two groups stood in a standoff just like that, neither side daring to make a rash move.

After a long moment—"Shura, do you know what the consequences will be if you touch me?"

The man surnamed Chu spoke slowly, a bead of cold sweat the size of a bean sliding down his forehead, yet his face was forced into a mask of composure.

He never imagined that Li Xiao would actually be able to find this place!

And brought so many people!

This was the Heiyao Clubhouse, after all; if something were to really happen to him here, no one would care!

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, a trace of coldness flashing rapidly across the depths of his eyes.

It was precisely because he knew the location was set at the Heiyao Clubhouse that he had brought men over directly.

People who come here all know perfectly well what goes on.

As long as the money given is enough, or the status is solid enough, no matter what kind of mess is stirred up, not a single bit of it will leak out.

"Daring to take over Linke's business, did you never think about your own end?"

Li Xiao mimicked his tone to ask back, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The other party did not speak again.

It was as if a string had been pulled taut in the air, ready to snap at any moment.

After a long moment—the two groups moved almost simultaneously!

The people Li Xiao brought were faster, however, and became locked in a brawl with the other side.

Li Xiao, meanwhile, took a step forward, his eyes fierce, attempting to directly subdue the man surnamed Chu.

The massive door blocked out a portion of the noise.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the room finally quieted down.

A thick, heavy scent of blood permeated the air.

Most of the people had already been subdued.

The one surnamed Chu, however, had gone blood-crazy and retreated all the way to the door.

He had not expected Li Xiao to actually charge over directly; only a few people by his side were carrying guns.

Before his eyes, there was only one bullet left in his own gun, the muzzle pointed straight at Li Xiao.

"Shura, the goods are still in my hands. I can give them to you; you let me live, and I can..."

As he spoke, he shuffled toward the direction of the door, wanting to find an opportunity to escape.

Li Xiao, however, let out a cold snort.

"It was something snatched from me in the first place; isn't it only right to return it to me?"

As he said this, the muzzle of his gun lifted slightly, clearly not intending to let him go.

The reason he had personally waited for them to kill their way over today was precisely to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!

Having finally cleaned out the poisonous snake, he absolutely could not allow Linke to develop a second one!

Whoever dared to take over the illicit dealings he previously had in the country would meet this very end today!

A cold light flashed in the depths of Li Xiao's eyes, his finger pressing lightly on the trigger...

Just at this moment—the main door was suddenly pushed open from the outside!

"Sir, your wine..."

A woman's voice came from outside the door.

Li Xiao was slightly stunned; just as he felt the voice was somewhat familiar and before he could react, he saw the man surnamed Chu grab the woman by the door and pull her over, directly shielding himself with her!

With a "crash" sound!

The wine bottle in the woman's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

She widened her eyes abruptly, seemingly so frightened that she couldn't even make a sound, unable to process the situation for a moment.

Then, seeing Li Xiao standing there with a gun, her face instantly turned to one of disbelief.

Li Xiao looked at the person before him, his mind also going blank for a brief instant.

Luo Wanwan?

How could she be here!

And wearing a server's uniform?

Li Xiao had no time to overthink; he exchanged a quick glance with Luo Wanwan, then immediately averted his gaze, pretending not to know her.

The man surnamed Chu, however, thought he had seized an opportunity and gritted his teeth in threat: "Shura, if you don't want to watch this woman die here, then let me leave..."

Before he could finish his sentence—he suddenly felt his foot being stepped on hard by the woman's sharp heel!

He frowned abruptly and lowered his head almost subconsciously, his heart crying out that things were bad!

At the same time—Li Xiao pulled the trigger in his hand.

Two muffled sounds rang out in the room simultaneously.

Red blood splattered in the air.

Luo Wanwan's body also pitched forward abruptly!

"Wanwan!"

Li Xiao caught her almost subconsciously, his eyes filled with both worry and disapproval.

"I'm fine."

Luo Wanwan smiled and frowned as she looked at her leg.

Blood was gushing from it incessantly; just looking at it, one knew how painful it must be.

At the same time Li Xiao fired his gun, the man surnamed Chu also fired his.

However, because he had been hit, his aim was off, and the bullet passed directly through her leg.

"Wanwan!"

"Wanwan..."

The few people beside Li Xiao also reacted, all looking at Luo Wanwan with shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

Hadn't she already... eight years ago?

How could she suddenly appear here!

Luo Wanwan was in so much pain that cold sweat dripped down, and she looked at the few familiar faces and smiled palely.

"Everyone, long time no see..."

"We can talk later; I'm taking you to the Hospital first! Lao San and Lao Wu, you two drive, the others clean up the scene and then head back."

As Li Xiao spoke, he scooped Luo Wanwan up horizontally and strode toward the door.

"Li Xiao... I..."

Luo Wanwan shifted uncomfortably, looking up at Li Xiao who was holding her, her eyes shimmering with moisture.

"Wanwan, you were too impulsive just now."

Li Xiao had already carried her out and placed her directly into the car.

The two in the front also moved quickly and started the car.

Li Xiao sat in the back with Luo Wanwan, still feeling lingering fear when thinking of the scene just now.

"In that situation just now, if I hadn't reacted in time, then you..."

"But didn't you do it?"

Luo Wanwan softly interrupted his words, squeezed out a smile at Li Xiao, and added, "I just knew you would be able to do it."

Li Xiao paused slightly and did not speak.

He and Luo Wanwan—this bit of tacit understanding actually hadn't changed...

But she was someone who had already nearly "died" once before.

If today she had again...

Li Xiao's brows were tightly locked; the guilt that had been buried deep in his heart for years spread bit by bit, and then turned into confusion.

Why would she appear at Heiyao?

Did she work there?

But that kind of place...

"Wan..."

Li Xiao wanted to ask, but catching sight of the wound on her leg out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed his words back.

Forget it, let's talk after the wound is treated.

Soon, the car stopped outside an inconspicuous shop.

This was a secret spot where everyone usually came for treatment when they were injured.

Luo Wanwan's wound was very deep, and the Doctor spent quite a while treating it before finally finishing the bandaging.

Li Xiao stood to the side with two others watching, all of them with their brows tightly locked.

After a long while—Lao San finally couldn't help but ask: "Shura, what exactly is going on here? Wanwan, she..."
