Chapter 111: Surprise surprise
Jia locked the man’s wrists to the living room table’s leg with handcuffs. Swiftly pulling out her gun from her holster, she made her way towards the bedroom. The adrenaline spike caused her heart to drum faster in worry for Lim. She aimed the gun dead straight ahead of her.
The bedroom came into her view, but she didn’t see the woman. What she did see was a man collapsed on the floor. Her heart sank. She rushed ahead and as she had guessed, there was another man in the room.
Lim was on the floor, fallen on his abdomen’s side and bleeding from his back. The second intruder was leaning over the collapsed Lim with a dagger in his hands. He was ready to stab Lim once again, this time clearly with the intention to end his life.
"Stop!"
The man froze on the spot. He jerked his head up and saw the gun aimed at him.
"Step back," Jia chillingly warned. "Step back from Lim right now!"
The man seemingly was judging his options. He realized that it was of no use. He had a knife and Jia had a gun. A bullet always wins the battle against a knife.
The man narrowed his eyes and slowly stepped away from Lim.
"Throw the knife and raise your arms. Now. One wrong move and I won’t hesitate to shoot you through your head. Trust in the fact that I am extremely pissed off right now."
He did as was told, giving her a dirty and antagonized look.
She kept the gun aimed at the second man and hurried over to Lim’s side.
