Zhang Liunian paid no attention to this, continuing to approach Zhu Laosan. He knew he was fast enough to dodge the amateur bodyguards with guns if he sprinted, but it would take time.
After laughing, Zhu Laosan became displeased when he saw Zhang Liunian consistently evading bullets. He stood up, waved his hand, and declared, "Zhang Liunian, you're dead today! Everyone, shoot him! Shoot him hard, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies."
Upon hearing this, the more than twenty thugs could only pour their energy into shooting at Zhang Liunian. However, Zhang Liunian's body moved as flexibly as a snake, and since they had only just learned to handle guns, their aim was poor, causing them to miss.
The end result was Zhang Liunian successfully reaching Zhu Laosan and, much to Zhu Laosan's disbelief, landing a powerful punch that sent Zhu Laosan's nose bleeding and his body staggering, nearly collapsing. Zhang Liunian then grabbed him by the collar and held him in front of himself.
In the next instant, the gunshots ceased. The more than twenty thugs dared not fire again. Zhang Liunian curved his lips and began raining blows on Zhu Laosan.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of flesh meeting flesh caused Wu Gudi, who was leaning against a small tree nearby, to scream continuously, "Ah!"
As soon as she spoke, she looked at the bodyguards who were holding guns but not firing and ordered, "Are you dead? Hurry up and kill him! If you don't kill him, Xiao Zhu Zhu will die."
Unfortunately, Wu Gudi's words were useless because these men only listened to Zhu Laosan and no one else.
At this moment, Zhang Liunian was beating Zhu Laosan. How could they dare to fire? If they missed and shot their benefactor, they would have nowhere to cry.
It was precisely because they stopped that Zhang Liunian could strike more freely.
"Bang bang bang..."
Zhu Laosan's eyes rolled back and his nose bled profusely from Zhang Liunian's assault, completely losing his earlier arrogance.
Wu Gudi watched anxiously. She then snatched a handgun from someone nearby and pointed it at Zhang Liunian, saying, "Let go of Xiao Zhu Zhu, or I'll kill you."
Hearing this, Zhang Liunian narrowed his eyes slightly. A plan formed in his mind. If Wu Gudi killed Zhu Laosan, wouldn't that be perfect?
Action was better than thought. Zhang Liunian continued his assault, and with two sharp "crack" sounds, he crippled Zhu Laosan's arm.
"Ah! You bastard, I want you dead!" Zhu Laosan's face contorted in pain, and with a face like a pig's head, he shouted.
Zhang Liunian sneered, sidestepped, and prepared to use Zhu Laosan as a human shield. Then, he looked at Wu Gudi provocatively, "Threatening me? That's useless, I'm not scared. If you have the guts, shoot and see?"
Seeing her beloved in agony, Wu Gudi's teeth itched with hatred. "You're forcing me. Don't blame me if you die."
After saying this, Wu Gudi closed her eyes and fired a shot at Zhang Liunian.
Zhang Liunian smiled and immediately pulled Zhu Laosan in front of him, successfully taking the bullet.
"Stop!"
Zhu Laosan only managed to utter two words before the bullet pierced his chest with a "shush!" He stared blankly at his chest, then glared fiercely at Wu Gudi, his "pig teammate," before turning to the bodyguards and saying, "You guys kill him! Move! Move!"
Hearing this, the bodyguards immediately aimed at Zhang Liunian.
Zhang Liunian laughed even more happily. With Zhu Laosan in his grasp, why would he fear their guns?
"Bang bang bang..."
Gunshots rang out again. Without thinking, Zhang Liunian shielded himself with Zhu Laosan.
"Shush!" /
"Shush!"
Bullets entered his body. Zhu Laosan, in pain, regretted his earlier outburst. "Stop!"
This time, he was hit by more bullets than before, and his blood flowed rapidly. Zhu Laosan panicked, more so than last time. He wouldn't die here, he wouldn't...
How could he die? He couldn't die. Zhang Liunian, his enemy, was still alive. Why should he die?
With this thought, Zhu Laosan made a gesture to someone, who immediately stepped out of the crowd to bring out Zhang Minghua and the other two.
"Xiao Zhu Zhu, I didn't mean to..."
Wu Gudi was regretting her shot when she saw her sons arriving, and her words suddenly caught in her throat. Then, remembering something, she grabbed the gun and rushed forward, pointing it at her own sons and threatening Zhang Liunian, "Let go of Xiao Zhu Zhu, or I'll kill them."
Hearing this, before Zhang Liunian could turn, he heard the cries of his three nephews.
"Mom, why are you killing me?"
"Third Uncle, wuwuwu..."
"Third Uncle save me..."
Hearing this, Zhang Liunian turned abruptly and saw his three nephews crying uncontrollably. Even more dangerously, Wu Gudi was holding a gun pointed at her own son.
Zhang Liunian's eyes widened in fury. He tightened his grip on Zhu Laosan's collar and said, "Wu Gudi, they are your own sons."
"No one is more important to me than Xiao Zhu Zhu. Their lives for Xiao Zhu Zhu's life are worth it. Tell me, are you going to let him go or not?"
Wu Gudi completely ignored her sons' crying, her eyes only focused on Zhu Laosan.
Hearing these words, Zhu Laosan could no longer feel happy because his chest was still bleeding, a wound inflicted by Wu Gudi. He was someone who never forgot a grudge.
"..." Zhang Liunian fell silent. He knew that if he released Zhu Laosan, the man might not only survive but also cause the deaths of his three nephews, so he couldn't let him go easily.
However, Wu Gudi had little patience. Seeing Zhu Laosan riddled with bullet holes and on the verge of death, she hardened her heart and shot her eldest son in the leg with a "bang!"
Zhang Minghua immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain, "Ah! It hurts so much! Third Uncle save me, save me."
"Let him go or not?" Wu Gudi made a move as if to attack her second son.
Seeing this, Zhang Liunian narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and was about to speak when, at that very moment, Zhang Qian arrived with his men, finally breaking down the main door.
"Brother Liunian, are you alright!" Zhang Qian, leading a group of people, forcefully broke down the door and rushed in, with several people even falling.
"Go save Minghua and the others." Seeing Zhang Qian and his group arrive, Zhang Liunian immediately instructed them to rescue the boys.
Wu Gudi, seeing so many people suddenly appear, unthinkingly ordered the bodyguards holding guns, "Are you dead? Quickly stop them."
The more than twenty bodyguards didn't want to obey her, but when they saw Zhu Laosan's approving expression, they immediately turned and fired at Zhang Qian and his group.
"Bang bang bang..."
Zhang Qian and his men scrambled for cover, and many were unfortunately hit. But just then, the sound of approaching sirens echoed from outside.
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Liunian raised his hand and tossed Zhu Laosan directly into the line of fire of his bodyguards, not only making Zhu Laosan take the final bullet but also knocking over several of his own bodyguards.
"Xiao Zhu Zhu!" Wu Gudi, seeing her beloved man thrown out, forgot about killing her sons and cried out, lunging forward.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Liunian charged forward and kicked away the men holding his nephews, one by one. At this moment, fully armed police officers stormed in, guns in hand, shouting, "Everyone freeze!"
