Chapter 674: Brainless
"All of you, back off from me now, do you want us all to be caught? Move it, there’s no escaping now. If only you had listened and we had all run in one direction, the police would never have found us,"
"But now, look what you’ve done, chasing after me! There’s no need to run anymore, stop! Even if we tried, it’s too late to escape,"
Number Two felt a sense of helplessness as he spoke these words, but there was really nothing that could be done except to wait. Shen Dong, standing above, couldn’t help but feel that the people below didn’t seem to be that foolish. How could they make such a basic mistake?
He shook his head and decided to find a safer place to go, but he had to take Lin Qi with him. It wouldn’t do to let Lin Qi get hurt at a time like this. The men still had guns, and in a fit of rage, they might endanger the lives of others. Hearing the noise outside, Shen Dong couldn’t help but slow his pace.
He presumed the police would be able to catch these men, but the safety of a few individuals had to be ensured in the process. Looking in Lin Qi’s direction, she was involuntarily looking back at him with a worried expression, seemingly concerned about the bar getting into trouble.
Shen Dong’s heart softened, feeling that he couldn’t just leave. Even with Lin Qi there, they might not be able to ensure her safety. They treated her like a pet, amusing themselves with her when they were happy and disregarding her when they were not, or maybe giving her something to distract her. If she were no longer needed, they’d just discard her without a second thought. He was not at ease leaving Lin Qi alone with those wealthy patrons; it was far too dangerous. After all, it seemed the best choice to get her out of there first.
The burly men in black knew they couldn’t run away and were trying to figure out a way to make a direct exit. They thought of taking a hostage, grabbing the nearest person, but unfortunately, one of the tables just happened to be right below where Shen Dong was; Lin Qi’s table. They selected a person from there.
The young masters only looked on as spectators, unaccustomed to such chaos, and were easily controlled. They found this group quite easy to manage and quickly moved over to them. Lin Qi also had an uneasy thought; she was bright and attractive, and someone had already wanted to take her away when she was upstairs, but didn’t have enough money on them.
However, now the opportunity presented itself. The leader of the group was the happiest, immediately gestured for Lin Qi to come over. Lin Qi shuddered with fright; it was just her luck to be targeted.
