Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 73
As the night wind blew, pieces of pure white screens lifted slightly, and the outside of the window was pitch black, as if hiding a hideous ghost.The corridor was empty, every time Ye Zijin took a step, she felt chills on her back, but her hands were sweating.

The two women walked cautiously one after the other.He Manling walked in front with a gun in hand, but the closer she got to the back door, the more worried she was about Meng Haoxiang.

"You find a place to hide yourself first, I'm going to help Haoxiang." He Manling hated Ye Zijin very much at first, so she just said something coldly and stopped caring about her safety, took the gun and walked back quickly Walk.

Ye Zijin stood alone in the corridor, his mind was in a mess.It is impossible to escape now, only to hide.She cautiously slipped into a side room, closed the door gently, and turned around to find that it was actually a warehouse.

This warehouse is full of goods such as tea and porcelain, and many boxes are piled up unevenly.Ye Zijin hugged a pastel porcelain vase with flower and bird patterns and hid behind the box. This was the only weapon she could use.She couldn't help feeling tense in her heart, hoping that this danger would pass quickly, and a person outside the gang would not be involved again.

Ye Zijin waited anxiously, and accidentally saw boxes of tea in the cargo box.When she saw the words Biluochun written on it, she picked up a box out of curiosity and weighed it in her hand. She felt that the paper box was very heavy, so she shook it again to make sure that it was not tea, so she opened it. , It turned out to be filled with bullets!
Ye Zijin picked up several boxes of tea leaves and weighed them, and found that most of the boxes contained tea leaves, and only the box near the bottom contained real bullets!
A profiteer, Ye Zijin cursed inwardly, the tea sold by Baohui Foreign Company to foreigners was actually mixed with bullets, it really is the same breed, Meng Haoxiang turned out to be doing arms business secretly like the Chao Gang.

Ye Zijin was thinking about it when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the corridor.She hugged the vase tightly and watched the door warily.

Faintly heard a man outside the door saying: "It is said that this Baohui foreign firm is very rich, why don't we two brothers make a fortune tonight, any valuable things are better than running errands."

Another man's voice said, "This is not good. We are here to kill Meng Haoxiang. Now that everyone else has gone, we still have time to get things? If the boss finds out, we will die."

"Say you are a wooden fish head, what kind of heart do you have, he can't escape, the front door and the back door are guarded by brothers, and now someone is searching inside, he can't hide for long, let's take the opportunity to find something valuable Things." The man who spoke first taunted a few words.

"Hey, big brother, does it say warehouse?" The man who was blamed said suddenly.

As soon as Ye Zijin heard the word "warehouse", her heart suddenly rose.

"Hey, it's true, there must be something good inside, let's go in and have a look..."

The door creaked and was gently pushed open. Through the gap, Ye Zijin saw two pairs of old cloth shoes.

The two men were ecstatic when they saw the room full of tea, porcelain and various decorations, as if they had discovered a treasure.

"Oh, this thing looks like it's worth money. Pick a few good ones and take them away. Go over there and see if there's anything else." A man instructed the dull man.

Ye Zijin stood behind the boxes stacked like a wall, hearing the footsteps getting closer, she quietly raised the porcelain vase, but she was very scared in her heart, although she knew that after such a blow, she would be in danger, but she had no other way , You can't be shot dead by the opponent without a little struggle.

Seeing the black shadow on the wall approaching her, she mustered up her courage, gripped the neck of the bottle tightly, and waited for that person to appear and give him a blow.

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard, and the two black shadows reflected on the wall fell down. Ye Zijin was so nervous that she couldn't breathe, and she saw a woman's figure through the gap of the box.

He Manling!Ye Zijin dared to go out only after she was sure it was her.

He Manling was still holding the gun. Hearing the movement behind the box, she pointed vigilantly at the person who came out.

Seeing that it was Ye Zijin, He Manling breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't put down the gun.There seemed to be something restless in her heart, and she suddenly wanted to shoot.If Ye Zijin died now, she could have told Meng Haoxiang that she was beaten to death by these two people, and it was already too late by the time she arrived.What's more, the dead can't speak, she can completely push everything to these two pawns who were killed by her.

However, one second before pulling the bolt, He Manling hesitated again.If Ye Zijin really died, would Meng Haoxiang fall in love with her?Ye Zijin's appearance once made her fear that she would lose Meng Haoxiang, but now that she had the opportunity to get rid of the woman who threatened her the most, for some reason, she became even more afraid.She was afraid that after Ye Zijin's death, she would lose Meng Hao forever.He Manling fell into conflict and couldn't make up her mind.

Ye Zijin sensed movement on the ground, and when she found that one of the men who had been shot by He Manling took out a gun, it was too late to remind He Manling.In desperation, Ye Zijin threw the porcelain vase in her hand in the direction of the man, only to hear a "pop", the porcelain vase was shattered by the bullet, and the porcelain fragments flew, He Manling covered her face with one hand, and quickly threw it at the man on the ground. Made a few more shots.When the fragments fell to the ground, the man's face was covered in blood and he was not breathing.

"Let's go! Their men will be here soon when they hear the gunshots." He Manling shouted to Ye Zijin who was standing aside with a pale face.

Ye Zijin didn't dare to look at the man lying in the pool of blood, and followed He Manling out of the warehouse.

"Where's Boss Meng?" Ye Zijin remembered that He Manling was going to help Meng Haoxiang, so why would he come back to save her.

He Manling held the pistol tightly, and said solemnly: "I didn't find him, let's go out first."

Soon someone shouted in front, "The gunshots came from over there just now! Meng Haoxiang is over there!"

Knowing that the back door was blocked, He Manling had no choice but to run back.Hearing the sound, there seemed to be quite a few people coming towards them, and the two of them only had one gun.He Manling didn't panic, she trotted in high heels at a not slow speed, she was skilled with a gun, and the movement of firing the gun just now was also very fast, Ye Zijin felt that He Manling's heroic posture at this moment was completely different from the usual dignified lady two people.

"There are people over there, chase after them!" Someone found them not far away, and then the footsteps became more and more dense.

In a panic, Ye Zijin and He Manling separated at a corner. Ye Zijin wanted to turn back and follow He Manling, but the continuous gunshots behind her made her dare not turn her head, so she had to run in the opposite direction alone. .

Ye Zijin groaned secretly in her heart, she didn't understand why she was so unlucky every time, obviously the gang fights had nothing to do with her, yet she got involved again and again.

Suddenly, a figure flashed from the front, and Ye Zijin saw this strange man holding a gun in his hand, pointing straight at her.

"Who are you Meng Haoxiang? Where is he now?" The man cautiously approached Ye Zijin, with a murderous look on his face.

"I...I..." Ye Zijin didn't know how to answer for a while, this person obviously looked suspicious, Ye Zijin knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't get rid of it.

The man approached step by step, Ye Zijin didn't dare to move anymore, the gun in his hand was aimed at her all the time.

At this moment, someone suddenly turned in from the window, vigorous and agile, like a cheetah that had been lying in wait for a long time and rushed towards its prey.Before the man with the gun could react, his throat was cut with a dagger by the man behind him, and blood gushed out instantly.

Ye Zijin turned pale with fright, and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.Meng Haoxiang handed over the gun from the man lying on the ground, glanced at Ye Zijin who was standing still, and said, "If you don't want to die, follow me."

Meng Haoxiang stretched out his hand towards her, his hand was still stained with bright red blood.

Ye Zijin gasped, did not take his hand, just walked to him silently, and said softly "Let's go".

Meng Haoxiang was about to take Ye Zijin to escape by climbing the window, but he didn't expect the people behind to catch up. In desperation, Meng Haoxiang had to give up this way, fired several shots at the people coming, and took advantage of the gap to protect Ye Zijin and run up to the third floor.

The two hid in a room on the third floor. Meng Haoxiang stuck his gun to the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.Ye Zijin stood behind him, and when she lowered her head, she accidentally found blood stains on the floor.

Ye Zijin was startled, looked up and saw Meng Haoxiang's face was pale, his lips were tightly pressed, as if he was enduring pain.Looking up at the blood stains on his clothes, she found a large area of ​​dark red on the right chest and shoulder of Meng Haoxiang's suit. Large areas of blood soaked the black suit, and the white shirt inside was even more blood-stained.He was shot just now!Ye Zijin felt uneasy while panicking, if it wasn't for him, he should be able to escape...

"You...you were injured." Ye Zijin reminded worriedly.

Meng Haoxiang paused, didn't look at the injured area, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, don't talk."

Ye Zijin had no choice but to keep silent, seeing the dark red, but felt a dull pain in his heart, was this shot really all right...

At this time, there was another burst of gunfire outside, even more intense and intense than before.After a while, it seemed that many people were rushing upstairs, making the stair floor thump.

Meng Haoxiang's body leaned against the door, ready with a gun.Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice in the corridor.

"Go and look over there. The eldest brother should still be in the building. Show me all the people who were not killed just now."

Ye Zijin heard that it was Qianjiang, and it seemed that people from Jin'antang had come, which meant that there was no danger.

Meng Haoxiang opened the door calmly and walked out. Qian Jiang was surprised at first, but when he saw the blood on Meng Haoxiang's body, he became nervous and angry.

"Brother, let's go to the hospital." Qian Jiang hurried forward to support Meng Haoxiang.

Meng Haoxiang glanced at Ye Zijin, who was still by the door, and said to Qian Jiang, "It doesn't matter to me...you take her home first. Is Manling okay?"

Qian Jiang said: "The fourth brother found Miss He just now, she is fine. My fourth brother and I rushed over as soon as we heard the gunfire from here." Qian Jiang looked at Meng Haoxiang's gunshot wound, clenched his fist and said fiercely , "Who the hell dares to do this? Let's see if I can't kill him."

Meng Haoxiang's face was pale, and his voice was a little weak, "Don't tell Master Hua yet, wait until we find out."

Qian Jiang responded, and helped Meng Haoxiang go downstairs.

Walking down the stairs, Ye Zijin saw blood all over the floor, and people from Jin'an Hall were cleaning up the corpses.She turned her face away, forcing herself to stop thinking about the bloody picture. In an instant, all the dozen or so people who were chasing them were dead.

When He Manling saw Meng Haoxiang coming down, she walked over happily, regardless of the presence of other people, she went forward and hugged Meng Haoxiang, with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Haoxiang, it's good that you are fine, I I was really scared just now..."

He Manling suddenly turned pale, and said in shock, "Blood! You're hurt!"

Meng Haoxiang gently pushed her away, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something to Qian Jiang.Ye Zijin stood behind him and watched Meng Haoxiang fall to the ground. He Manling screamed and called Meng Haoxiang's name loudly. Qian Jiang hurriedly carried Meng Haoxiang on his back and ran outside.

It turned out that he had been holding on just now, Ye Zijin didn't expect him to be injured so badly, he couldn't help but blame himself...
