The Departed
"Ci ci ci ci …"
A bullet hit the tire of the car, and Qiao Qiao's car began to skid. The friction between the car and the ground made a sharp sound. Then, with a loud noise, the car hit the trunk next to it, making a "bang" sound.
Fortunately, the air cushion worked. Qiao Qiao and Adam didn't die, but Qiao Qiao had a slight concussion because of the strong impact. Now, she was dizzy and didn't know where she was.
"Lilith, how are you?"
Adam's physical fitness was much better than Qiao Qiao's, so he was not affected by the car accident. However, he found that Qiao Qiao was still in a daze.
Qiao Qiao looked at the overlapping shadows. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Adam knew that the situation was not good. The car was also destroyed. He directly pulled her out of the car and placed the GPS on her body. He had just informed his subordinates, but because the escape route had deviated, he did not know when those people would arrive. Now, he could only delay as much as possible.
"Lilith, are you alright?"
Adam asked again.
Qiao Qiao was very dizzy. She shook her head desperately, but it only made her even more dizzy. Adam reminded her, "Stop shaking your head. You might have a slight concussion. You should lie down and rest, but the current condition doesn't allow you to do so. We can only force you to do it."
"I'm sorry …"
Qiao Qiao said regretfully. When she heard the footsteps running towards them, she knew that she would definitely die this time. She bitterly said, "I was too conceited. I made Lan Shaoyu look too simple. I even let so many people die for me …"
"It's my fault."
Adam observed his surroundings and continued to help Qiao Qiao walk towards the road. He said, "I also idealized the situation. If I had been more observant of Lan Shaoyu's movements, you wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament."
This kind of loss of self-control should be avoided.
As Lilith's subordinate, he should give her some pointers. Thinking back to what He Shaochen had said, Adam had to admit that he was being impulsive.
He really wanted Lilith to achieve something to open that man's eyes. He really wanted that man to understand that even without him, they could still defeat Lan Shaoyu. Who would have known that he was the one who was trapped?
Why didn't they investigate Lan Shaoyu's deployment?
Why didn't they suspect his motives?
Why did he agree to let Lilith come to such a remote place?
Why didn't they deploy more people in advance?
Why did he fail so badly and expose the people he cared about to danger?
Why?
Why …
…
"Adam, Adam …"
Qiao Qiao shouted with difficulty.
Adam suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Qiao Qiao anxiously and asked, "Lilith, what's wrong?"
Qiao Qiao said weakly, "Adam, you, you should go. Don't worry about me …"
Right now, she was just a burden.
If Adam brought her along, the two of them would definitely die. Rather than sending the two of them to their deaths, it would be better to save one of them. Adam's martial prowess was high, it wouldn't be a problem for him to escape. This was originally her mistake, she shouldn't have let Adam suffer the consequences with her.
Qiao Qiao was just a little sad.
Si Jie and Sichu were still so young and she had not spent time with them properly. She was really upset. If she had known, she would have spent more time with them …
"Lilith, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I leave you alone? "
Adam frowned.
Qiao Qiao shook her head and said, "You have to go! If both of us die here, Lan Shaoyu will definitely make things up. By then, J Country will also be implicated by me. You must live on and expose Lan Shaoyu's true colors. You must not let that man's scheme succeed! "
She could not implicate the J Country.
At this moment, the group of people surrounded them and started shooting at them.
Adam reacted quickly and brought Qiao Qiao to the back of a tree trunk. Fortunately, they were surrounded by trees that covered the sky. With the wide tree trunks, they could more or less avoid the rain of bullets. However, it was only a matter of time before they were hit.
Qiao Qiao pushed Adam, but her legs gave way and she knocked into a tree trunk. She said seriously, "Hurry up and go! Don't worry about me anymore! Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape! "
She only said that because she was prepared to die.
However, Adam rushed over and handed the money in his hand to Qiao Qiao, saying, "You go first, I'll bring up the rear."
"You're crazy!"
Qiao Qiao said in shock. She wanted to push the gun back, but Adam stubbornly handed it back to Qiao Qiao and said seriously, "You know what I'm capable of. Besides their numbers, those people are no match for me. If I stay, I might be able to kill them all. But you're different. You have no way to defend yourself and will definitely die. So you go first."
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She did not know how many people were chasing after them, but if Lan Shaoyu could let them go so confidently, he must have a backup plan. No matter how strong Adam was, he could not take on so many people with his bare hands. If Adam stayed, he would definitely die.
"No, you …"
"Lilith!"
Qiao Qiao still wanted to say something, but Adam cut her off sternly, "I can't just watch you die in front of me! If you die, I will definitely follow you! But if I bring up the rear, I will still have a chance to live. Believe me, I will live on. "
Qiao Qiao bit her lip and tears flowed down. She shook her head and said, "No, you're lying to me. You can't take on so many people …"
"Believe me!"
"No …"
"Believe me!"
Adam gritted his teeth and said seriously to Qiao Qiao, "You are a princess, the queen of a country. Now is the time to make a decision. Don't hesitate, otherwise everyone will be finished. Do you understand?"
"Adam …"
Qiao Qiao said with a trembling voice.
Adam had never used such a harsh tone with her. He always went along with her and gave in to her in everything. As long as she wanted to do something, he would do it regardless of whether it was right or wrong. But now, his face was gloomy …
Adam seemed to realize that his tone was too harsh. He closed his eyes and suddenly hugged Qiao Qiao. He said in a low and suppressed voice, "Lilith, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. But you can't die, you can't die … I will try my best to live on. Don't give up the life that I cherish so easily, okay? I beg you … I beg you … "
Qiao Qiao's tears flowed down her face. She shook her head desperately. "But, but you …"
Suddenly, Adam pushed Qiao Qiao hard. Qiao Qiao staggered and took a few steps back before she could stabilize herself.
A bullet hit the tree beside them.
"Go!"
Adam said sternly.
Qiao Qiao's eyes widened. Adam continued to yell, "Go!"
Qiao Qiao didn't hesitate this time and started to run. She seemed to hear the sound of hand-to-hand combat behind her. A bullet brushed past her ear and her earlobes burned. She stopped in her tracks and looked back. She happened to see Adam breaking someone's neck. He was still looking at her and yelling at her, "Don't look back! Run, don't stop! "
Qiao Qiao heard him and ran forward with all her might.
She had to contact the rescue team quickly. Gunshots came from behind her again. She didn't dare to stop, but her heart was pounding. Who was hit this time?
Would it be Adam?
But she couldn't turn back. She could only run forward.
Qiao Qiao didn't know how far she had run. Her body was at its limit. Her throat was burning with pain and large black spots appeared in front of her eyes. But she still ran forward with all her might.
She didn't dare to stop.
Qiaoqiao panicked. She didn't know if it was because she was too far away that she couldn't hear the gunshots, but it always became quiet behind her. However, Adam didn't chase after her either. She didn't dare to think too much about it. The most important thing now was to find help.
But after a few minutes, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind her, and there was more than one sound. Following the sound of a gunshot, Qiaoqiao's waist was hit, and she fell to the ground under the strong impact.
Qiao Qiao almost fainted from the pain. She clenched her fists tightly to endure the pain. She struggled to stand up and continue running. But just as she stood up, her ankle was hit again. She fell heavily to the ground again.
This time, Qiao Qiao couldn't stand up because her ankle was injured.
She struggled to turn around. Sure enough, it was Lan Shaoyu's pursuers.
What about Adam?
Qiao Qiao seemed to have guessed the outcome. She almost couldn't help but burst into tears. But she still held the gun Adam gave her tightly and shot at those people.
Those people didn't seem to expect Qiao Qiao to have a gun. Caught off guard, one of them was hit, and the other two immediately hid behind the car.
Qiao Qiao's gun quickly ran out of bullets.
She knew that she was going to die, but she was sad that she had let Adam down. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.
Qiao Qiao, what's the point of you working so hard for so long?
She had lost too much blood, and her consciousness was getting blurry.
She couldn't see clearly. Perhaps she was having a mental breakdown. Qiao Qiao couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.
— —
When she woke up again, she was lying on a hospital bed. She was surrounded by an enclosed space without even a window.
She looked around and saw that it was He Shaochen who looked tired. There was a ring of stubble on his chin and he looked like he had been through a lot.
He Shaochen was obviously shocked to see her wake up. Before he could say anything, Qiao Qiao propped herself up. She grabbed He Shaochen's hand and said anxiously, "Adam! Where's Adam? "
She still had a needle in her hand. Now that she suddenly propped herself up, the needle moved and blood flowed out.
He Shaochen's eyes darkened when he saw this. He immediately restrained her and said, "Qiao Qiao, calm down first."
Qiao Qiao couldn't calm down at all. She grabbed He Shaochen's hand and said urgently, "Adam is still behind us. He's still behind us. You have to save him. He Shaochen, I beg you. Save Adam. Save Adam …"
"Qiao Qiao, calm down!"
He Shaochen said angrily. Qiao Qiao's wound was bleeding again because she was struggling too hard.
Qiao Qiao couldn't care about herself. "Then Adam, Adam …"
"Adam is dead!"
He Shaochen gritted his teeth and said solemnly.
Qiao Qiao's brain exploded. Her eyes widened as she said in a trembling voice, "What did you say just now?"
