Chapter 296: He Is Afraid That Jessie Would Get Hurt
He thinks it is fine that he doesn’t understand Japanese. He can walk around to observe the situation.
After he walks a few steps, he bumps into a robber who is giant.
Fuck!
Luckily the robber sees that he is with them and withdraws his gun. Then he starts talking.
Leigh seems to hear the word “gem”. He says “yes” in Japanese and hands the bag full of jewelry to
the robber. The man reaches his hand to get it without any alert.
Just when the robber lowers his head, Leigh uses the knife he got in the counter before to stick into the
man’s neck. He uses another hand to cover his mouth to stop him from crying out.
After taking care of him, Leigh drags him into the counter beside.
A receptionist is hiding in the counter. With the light from the counter, Leigh sees that she is about to
scream. He immediately covers her mouth with his hand and says “police” with his mouth shape.
After dragging the body to the corner, Leigh hands the headphone to the receptionist and asks her to
listen to what they are talking about.
Alas! It’s not his fault that he can’t meet a robber who speaks English.
The receptionist writes down everything she hears. Leigh finds that they are not only robbing the
jewelry section, but also intend to kill the person on the photo and take a picture. The commission is
100 million.
Leigh felt weird before. Why do these robbers risk their lives robbing the jewelry section? Now it turns
out their purpose is to kill someone.
To get 100 million of commission at the cost of several lives. The deal is good.
Leigh reaches his hand into the pockets of the dead robber and obtains a picture. When he sees the
woman on the photo, he is shocked.
Their target is Lily?
Craps!
Leigh immediately runs to the counter where they three are hiding. From a distance, Leigh sees a man
with night vision device walking into the counter in an attempt to check it up.
Thinking that they three can’t fight and that the man has a gun, Leigh fires at him without hesitation.
The bullet travels through the night vision device of the man and enters his skull.
The gun doesn’t have a silencer, so the sound is quite loud. Some people are so scared that they
scream. Leigh hears some people speaking Japanese in the headphone, and they sound angry.
Siren comes up from outside the window.
The police are here.
Leigh breathes out a sigh of relief. Now that the police are here, it means Daniel is almost here too.
At this moment, someone is calling him from behind. Leigh doesn’t respond to him immediately. That
man is very skeptical and seems to have known that he is the mole. Then he fires at Leigh instantly.
Leigh rolls to the counter beside immediately and hides there. When the man fires a second shot and
during several seconds of delay, Leigh reaches his head out and shoots at the man’s chest.
The man responds quickly and the bullet misses him.
Fuck!
Now that he misses, it means his position is exposed. Leigh begins to run among the counters around Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
and tries to get away from the counter where they three are hiding.
The man shouts in Japanese and seems to be informing other robbers that he finds the mole.
Robbers get together and shoot whenever they see the figure of Leigh. Suddenly, gunshot is
everywhere, along with the sound of mirror breaking and people’s crying and weeping.
When Leigh is hiding, he finds that six or seven robbers are left. Several robbers come to catch him,
and others are checking the counters that have not been checked.
Damn, these robbers are smart!
Leigh curses at the robbers in his mind. On the other hand, he blames Daniel and Louis for arriving so
late. Damn! He didn’t bring anything, and the shotgun which suffers from delay only has two bullets left.
He pays attention to the gunshots from the robbers, and when he finds a chance, he reaches his head
out and fires at a man.
Right in his heart.
Leigh moves to another place and removes the box magazine to have a look.
There are six men left and he only has one bullet. The dead robbers are too far from him. If he gets out,
he will get exposed. And the robbers all have night vision devices. He doesn’t even stand a chance.
He can’t rush. He has to stay calm.
Leigh says to himself. He breathes deeply. Sooner or later, the robbers will find the counter where they
are hiding. If they see them, they will probably kill all of them.
Jessie is so weak and can’t fight at all.
At the thought of what hasn’t happened but may happen, Leigh, who has lived for over 20 years, feels
scared for the first time. He is afraid that Jessie would get hurt.
Leigh’s eyes suddenly turn sharp. He reaches out his head to take care of the robber who is checking
the surroundings. At the risk of exposing his position, Leigh runs to get his gun.
Hearing the movements, robbers fire at his direction. Leigh keeps hiding from the bullets but finds that
the robbers who are checking the left counters are close to the counter where they three are hiding.
His heart is at his throat now. Then he exposes his position again and fires a shot. He runs and hides
among the counters and rushes to their position.
At this moment, Leigh’s aim is 100% accurate. Every shot is right in the target. And he has enormous
explosive power and fast speed. When he gets close to the robbers, he directly fights them with his
fists.
Those robbers don’t even have time to load their guns and are soon brought down.
Leigh clutches on to a counter and gasps for several seconds. Then the strong man on the ground who
was just brought down suddenly jumps up and punches at Leigh’s abdomen.
His reaction delays for two seconds. His body flies back and hits the ground. When he does that, the
wind coat is carelessly dragged down. And the three women are exposed.
Jessie runs to him instantly, “Leigh, how are you?”
The strong man has pulled the trigger. Leigh doesn’t think and immediately rolls up to hold Jessie into
his arms. His shoulder blocks her face and the bullet travels into his chest. He lets out a slight sound.
“Leigh...Leigh...” Jessie hears his sound and shouts in a shaking voice.
After firing the shot, the strong man notices there are several women hiding there. And one of them is
the woman on the photo. The man shouts with excitement but before he can fire the second shot, two
hands choke his neck from behind and twist it hard.
Dozens of seconds later, the lights of the jewelry section are all on again. With the central ventilating
fan working, the white smoke is gradually cleared out.
Leigh breathes out a sigh of relief.
Louis and Daniel come close immediately, with worries all over their faces.
Seeing that Leigh’s shirt is covered by blood, Louis comes to him instantly and wants to carry him up.
“Louis, it’s not that bad.” Leigh looks pale and says in a shaking voice, “Call an ambulance for me and
carry me with a stretcher. It’s better that way.”
Louis smiles and gives his wound a simple wrap, “Thank you.”
Leigh wants to say something, but Jessie, whose face is covered with tears now, covers his mouth with
her hand and says choking, “Shut up. Speaking will accelerate your blood flow.”
The police are finally here and they block the area to check people one by one.
Then the ambulance is here too.
Daniel wants accompany Leigh to the hospital, but is refused by Leigh’s eye look. He holds Jessie’s
hand and seems to be telling him that Jessie alone is enough.
Daniel’s eyes darken and a sense of hatred comes up, but he just nods his head.
Lily and Stella are both witnesses, so the police interview them too. The questions are simple, and their
answers are almost the same as that of other receptionists. Then the police let them go.
Thinking about what just happened, Lily is still scared and at a loss.
But she is most concerned about Leigh.
After getting back to the hotel, she asks Louis, “With the power cut, CCTV weren’t working. But there
are Leigh’s fingerprints on those guns. How will the police sentence him?”
“It’s fine. Though what he did is a bit outrageous, it is justifiable defense.” Louis strokes her hair, “I
already called the lawyer, he will be here no later than tomorrow morning.”
