Chapter 143: Sorry, I can't act anymore

"Hand over the glazed lamp, otherwise I'll kill her!"

Gu Fei, disguised as a man in black, pressed a sharp knife against Mother Qin's neck.

Mother Qin trembled all over in fear. Her gaze turned toward the black off-road vehicle not far away—that was her son Qin Hao Bei's car.

Sure enough, the next second, a tall and straight figure opened the car door.

It was Qin Hao Bei!

"Xiaobei!"

Mother Qin screamed in terror.

"Don't hurt her!"

Just then, Shi Xi, who was opposite, suddenly placed the sandalwood box of the Phoenix Lamp on the ground, raised her hands above her head, and approached the man in black step by step.

"Please, don't hurt Auntie..."

"I am willing to replace Auntie and become your hostage."

As she said this, she gave a look to the "man in black" without a sound.

Not far away, Qin Hao Bei was running over quickly, his eyes burning with fire, his hands reaching toward his waist.

Gu Fei knew that this man was a special forces soldier, and that was where his pistol was.

He might very well shoot and kill himself!

"Come over here! Use me to replace your hostage!"

Opposite, Shi Xi was still pressing hard, her light green prosthetic eye radiating cold light, like a cold muzzle.

Gu Fei's hand holding the knife trembled violently.

He wouldn't hurt Shi Xi...

It was impossible to hurt her even a little bit!

However, Shi Xi was forcing him.

Forcing him to use his own life as a gamble, to play a righteous role in front of Qin Hao Bei and Mother Qin.

"Let go of Auntie, come and kidnap me instead!"

Shi Xi stomped her feet in anger.

The two had discussed in advance that the man in black played by Gu Fei would kidnap her in front of Qin Hao Bei and save Mother Qin.

When the two retreated to a deserted alley, he would let her go, and Gu Fei would escape alone.

Then, when Qin Hao Bei chased after them, she would faint in Qin Hao Bei's arms.

But what on earth was this fool Gu Fei waiting for?!

"Come over here!"

Seeing that Qin Hao Bei was already approaching, but Gu Fei was still motionless, Shi Xi roared.

"Come over!"

Gu Fei had no choice but to let go of Mother Qin, hug Shi Xi from behind, and carefully place the tip of the knife against her neck.

"Xi'er..."

He called out in an extremely light voice.

"Let go of the hostage!"

At this moment, Qin Hao Bei finally rushed over, raised his pistol, and aimed at the man in black's forehead.

With just one second, he could shoot and kill the man in black.

However...

Seeing Shi Xi being held hostage by the man in black with a sharp knife, he still hesitated for a moment.

Seeing Qin Hao Bei's hesitant expression, Shi Xi felt a secret pleasure in her heart; it seemed that Brother Hao Bei still felt heartache for her.

He wasn't a stone-hearted person.

"Brother Hao Bei, save me..."

Shi Xi cried with a face full of pear blossoms in the rain, tears falling down, and even Mother Qin, standing on the side, felt a bit of heartache.

Mother Qin didn't know the truth.

At this moment, she only thought that Shi Xi was really kidnapped by the man in black to save her.

"Xiaobei, don't shoot, you'll hurt Miss Shi!"

Mother Qin urged anxiously from the side.

Qin Hao Bei keenly felt that something was wrong with this matter. Why didn't the kidnapper want the Phoenix Lamp? Why did he keep pressing the knife against the hostage and not let go?!

What good would that do him?

However, Mother Qin was frightened on the side, and he couldn't care about thinking carefully, only ordering his mother in a low voice:

"Mom, hurry up and walk away!"

"But... Miss Shi Xi..."

"Don't worry, I will save her."

Mother Qin was pulled to the back by the crowd.

Qin Hao Bei and Gu Fei were still confronting each other with swords drawn and bows bent. Qin Hao Bei's muzzle was aimed at Gu Fei's forehead, while Gu Fei's knife tip was against Shi Xi's neck.

"Let go of the hostage!"

Qin Hao Bei roared.

"Brother Hao Bei..."

Shi Xi said while sobbing, speaking affectionately:

"If, today, I unfortunately die, don't be sad... because, I was willing..."

"I like you, I don't ask you to like me, I only hope that in the next life, we can meet a little earlier..."

"Brother Hao Bei, I love you!"

Hearing Shi Xi's affectionate confession, a burst of sighing and moving sounds came from the crowd.

Some people were even shedding tears sadly.

"Hey, why is Miss Shi doing this..."

"Deep love is not long-lived..."

And Gu Fei, standing behind Shi Xi, only felt that his heart was being stabbed by countless sharp knives, stabbed until it was dripping with blood.

Shi Xi, she actually said such words in front of him.

Perhaps she only regarded him as a tool, and didn't consider his feelings at all.

Heh, she didn't regard him as a human at all...

A huge sense of despair and powerlessness, like a tide, overwhelmed Gu Fei.

He gave a bitter smile and couldn't act anymore.

"Xi'er, sorry, I can't act anymore."

With a "ding," the sharp knife fell to the ground, and Gu Fei turned and ran backward.

At the same time, only a "bang" gunshot sounded!

Qin Hao Bei immediately pulled the trigger.

The bullet "shooed" past Shi Xi's ear, hitting Gu Fei's left shoulder. Gu Fei let out a muffled groan, ignoring the pain, covered his shoulder, and ran forward.

"Stop!"

That shot just now, he had deliberately missed, in order to let the kidnapper be injured and leave a living mouth.

This matter... he always felt it was very suspicious.

Qin Hao Bei said while chasing out, but at this moment, his waist was suddenly hugged by a pair of large hands.

"Don't chase..."

Shi Xi hugged Qin Hao Bei's waist and grabbed his arm.

"Brother Hao Bei... I... I'm so dizzy, can you... send me to the hospital?"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes and fainted in Qin Hao Bei's arms as if she had no bones.

In just a few seconds, the black figure had disappeared into the alley not far away.

Cao!

Looking at the woman who fainted in his arms, Qin Hao Bei gritted his teeth fiercely and cursed in his heart.

Immediately after, his brow furrowed slightly, and a sense of inexplicable suspicion rose in his heart.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, took out his phone, and dialed the emergency number.

In a rental house in the dead of night.

The TV was playing news footage of a woman being kidnapped by a man in black.

"This afternoon, a vicious robbery occurred at the entrance of an auction house in XX District, Lanwan City, causing one hostage to be injured and faint. Surveillance shows that the criminal suspect is a young man in his 20s, about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans, with a butterfly tattoo on his right upper arm. The suspect was injured by a gunshot in his left shoulder, please citizens, if you have any suspicious clues, report them to the police in time."

With a "bang," Gu Fei pressed the remote control in his hand, and the TV screen went black.

The dim light shone on the cramped and old house.

Gu Fei sat on the sofa, irritably tore off a piece of gauze, and covered the wound on his left shoulder messily.

It hurt a lot there.

A lot of blood flowed, and no matter how he wiped it, it wouldn't stop.

But it couldn't compare to the one-ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.

Gu Fei picked up the wine glass on the coffee table, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then covered his mouth and choked a few times.

Then, he dialed the familiar phone number.

The next second, the familiar female voice came from the phone:

"Hello, the number you dialed is powered off, please dial again later." ===== CHAPTER 144 =====
