Chapter 407 A Gun And A Bomb
"Fall back now! Just leave me!" Kevin said to the police.
The policeman in command frowned, but it wasn't the time to argue. He made a gesture which implied that all armed policemen must retreat immediately.
Through the window, Kim could see everything unfolding. He was scowling when he suddenly took out an intercom and said, "Let them retreat. Do not stop them!"
They were a group of outlaws, and they didn't care about money nor their lives. In other words, they were willing to live a life of danger. But the moment they opened fire at the armed police, there was no more turning back for them, for they would become wanted not just in H City, A City, nor M City; they would be wanted all over the country!
By then, the consequences would be unpredictable.
If the other party wanted to fight, they weren't afraid. However, if the fight could be avoided, then they wouldn't shoot.
Upon hearing the order, the well-trained policemen slowly backed away.
But the moment they left their post, more than ten men in black appeared, aiming their guns at Kevin's head.
"We don't want to fight you, but it doesn't mean we're afraid of you! And if you dare call for backup, Mr. Kevin's life will be in danger!
You're aware that we've done many illegal activities following our boss. Mr. Kevin's life may be important to you, but to us, his life means nothing more than the ones we've killed before!" A man scowled as he threatened the police.
The police frowned amongst each other. Then, the captain responded immediately, "Let's do as they said first!"
Kevin was an important figure of A City. If he died here, they couldn't bear the consequences.
As a snarl emerged from Kevin's lips, the man said to him, "My boss wants to see you!"
The look on Kevin's face only meant that he was not afraid. With so many guns pointed at him, he went upstairs in a calm manner.
Seeing that no clash broke out, Anne felt relieved, but she also felt nervous. She looked at Kim and wondered, 'What on earth does Kim want to do?'
The gaze in her eyes were so fiery that Kim couldn't ignore it. He looked back at Anne and smirked at her. "Don't worry, I won't kill him."
"If you dare kill him, you can no longer stay in this country!" Anne wasn't frightened of Kim at all.
Kevin didn't hold any other position. He was just the CEO of AN Group. However, there were numerous projects that were aligned to his company. Moreover, he was well-renowned as an honorable man. If he was suddenly shot to death, it would most certainly cause an uproar!
In this country, whenever someone carried a gun in the open and started killing people, it was a devastating event. Many people would show interest in it, and the police would do everything they could to hunt the criminal down. By then, Kim's fate was predictable.
Turning his head towards Anne, Kim squinted and shook his head with a smile. "Anne, we've lived together for two years, and it seems that you still don't know me well."
His words sent shivers down Anne's spine. She shook her head and pleaded, "Please, don't do it!"
"Ha-ha..." Kim cackled. "I'm kidding. Don't worry, I'm not planning to leave the country, so I won't kill him. But today, I won't let him leave so easily!"
As her body weakened, Anne closed her eyes and thought to herself, 'As long as he lives, it's enough for me!'
"It doesn't matter. When Kevin dies, I'll die with him. We are husband and wife, and out fates are tied together. In sickness and in health, till death do us part, we will be together! The Fu Family's properties were enough for the children to survive, and their grandmother loved them so much. She would never let them suffer!" Anne said as she shook her head.
Kim scowled and his pupils dilated. He stopped talking to Anne, and instead held his gun tighter.
If he really had no choice, as a last resort, he would kill Kevin!
Step by step, Kevin climbed the stairs with a murderous intent in his eyes.
It was either bold or foolish that Kim had the gall to raise his gun while in the face of numerous policemen. Not even Kevin expected that.
But Anne was his wife, and nobody could have her except him!
"Kevin!" Watching Kevin walk up the stairs, Anne felt anxious with every step he took.
With a gun in Kim's hand, what could she do? There was nothing she could do.
Kim stared at Kevin from head to toe with a smirk. He aimed his gun at him and kept his fingers on the trigger.
"Kevin, how does it feel to be deceived?" he asked with contempt, tilting his head.
Ignoring Kim, Kevin locked his eyes on Anne. After confirming that she was unharmed, he sighed with relief and turned to his opponent. "I can withstand both success and failure."
"Ha-ha..." Shaking his head, Kim grinned as he slowly raised his gun and pointed it at Kevin's forehead.
Anne's eyes trembled. What happened to Ryan came back to haunt her again. Her body started quivering as she continuously shook her head. 'No, absolutely not! Even if I risk my life, I won't let Kevin die!'
She couldn't bear the idea of him dying. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gritting her teeth, Anne pounced on Kevin. Surprised, Kevin shouted, "Anne, stop!"
Kim never imagined that she would do something so reckless, so he immediately aimed his gun away from her.
He was afraid that it would misfire and hurt her by mistake.
The three of them were positioned near each other, so Anne was able to fall on top of Kevin quickly.
His tall body was trembling slightly, but he still managed to hold her tightly.
"Anne, are you stupid? Why would you jump in front of me?" Kevin gritted his teeth. The soft body in his arms told him that everything that happened was real.
Fortunately, Kim didn't shoot. Without feeling any pain, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Breaking free from his embrace, Anne stared at Kevin with fiery eyes and declared, "Kevin, even if I die, it doesn't matter. You're the one who needs to survive, so you can take care of our children!"
Anger was apparent in Kevin's face. He tightened his grip on her arm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you something. It's only natural for a man to protect his woman. It's my duty to protect you! But don't worry, because I won't let either of us die. They're not my children alone; they're also yours, so we should take care of them together!
And now that your man has something to do, just stand behind me in silence, and no matter what happens, don't move!"
After saying that, Kevin pulled Anne behind him to shield her with his imposing figure.
After she heard his speech, her heart was filled with warmth. As she stared at his broad back, she felt like she was behind a stalwart fortress that could protect her and her children from anything!
'That's Kevin! My husband! He will protect me and our family!' Anne told herself.
Meanwhile, Kim's face was distorted by anger. He was scowling so much at Kevin that even the veins on his face were apparent.
Just now, regardless of her own safety, Anne was determined to protect Kevin.
This left Kim shocked and even angrier. He couldn't bear the fact that Kevin's life was more important to Anne than her own.
This woman loved that man so much that she was willing to die for him. How could he have any hope of winning her over?
Within an instant, Kim's heart was shattered into pieces.
For so many years, he knew that love was something desperados like him couldn't afford. He never even thought that he would fall in love with Anne, and he never imagined that there was no place for another man in Anne's heart except Kevin.
He had tried everything he could to get her and he felt upset that his love was not returned. There was nothing he could do to change her mind.
The feeling of being helpless and powerless made him angry beyond reproach.
"Kevin, why do you continue to exist? Why are you still alive?" In a fit of rage, Kim raised his gun once more.
A faint smile appeared on Kevin's lips when he looked at Kim.
"Kim, if I don't have anything to protect, do you think I would even dare to show up like this?" Unfazed by the gun in Kim's hand, he slowly walked forward until Kim's gun was pointblank against his head. "Kim, you fool! How dare you underestimate me?"
No matter how angry Kim was, he still kept his sanity. And now that Kim had seen Kevin act like this, he felt a hint of doubt.
Why was Kevin so confident?
As Anne stared at Kevin's face, her heart welled up with worry.
It was too risky for him to do something like this because Kim was desperate now!
"Kim, I've already made up my mind when I went up here. If I live, Anne lives. But if I die, she dies with me!" Kevin slowly rolled up his clothes.
What Kim saw rendered him frozen. And when Anne saw what was strapped to Kevin's waist, she covered her mouth and took a step back.
He was carrying a bomb!
What was he thinking? How could he plant a bomb on himself?
"Kim, do you really think you can get away at such a short distance? Or are you willing to know which one is faster? My bomb or your gun?" Kevin coiled his finger on the ring, implying that the moment he pulled that ring, the bomb would explode in mere seconds.
It would be impossible for any of them to get away from an explosion!
In the past, bombs never scared Kim. But right now, he had to take it seriously.
Kevin said to Kim, "With Anne and three lovely children, I've lived a happy life. Anne is willing to die with me. Even in hell, we'll always be together. But you, Kim, what do you have?"
Frowning, Kim thought, 'What exactly do I have?'
He was alone. He fathered no children, and the woman he loved deeply was in love with someone else!
Compared to Kevin, he was a joke.
"Kim, you've done so much, and now you've gain more than enough. I want to know if you'll regret dying with us." With a smile on his face, Kevin stared at Kim calmly, staying his hand on the ring the entire time.
With narrowed eyes, Kim turned his gaze towards Anne, who was standing behind Kevin. She was so nervous that her face was as white as a sheet.
"Even if you say that you're willing to die with me, have you ever thought about Anne's opinion? Do you think she's willing to let go of this prosperous world?" Kim asked him.
Kevin pursed his lips to speak, but before he could answer, Anne interrupted him and said to Kim, "As long as you're alive, we'll never have peace. We'll be separated and in danger all the time. I'm tired of it. And if I can drag you to hell while I die, I'll be happy to oblige!"
