You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 372 His Concern Or My Heartache

“Find the person on the photo, and kill the rest of them.”

Wu Nian saw at least ten masked men running up the stairs. She was flustered.

She kind of figured it out that they were either after Liu Yan or herself.

This meant the others were in grave danger.

She looked to Gu Mingchen subconsciously, and her eyes were full of worry and heartache.

Gu Mingchen raced out and snatched a gun from the leader's hands. He then pointed it towards his head and said, “Get your men to leave, else I'll shoot right into your head.”

The leader looked angrily at Gu Mingchen and shouted, “Kill him!"

His subordinates immediately fired upon hearing his command.

Wu Nian locked the doors.

“Nian, what's happening outside?” Liu Yan sounded worried

“There's no time to explain. Hurry, help me push the cabinet to the door.” Wu Nian instructed while moving the cabinet.

Liu Yan immediately gave her a helping hand.

Wu Nian rushed to the windows and looked out. “It's not too high, I think it'll be fine to jump out from here with a blanket. Yan, you go first.”

"Why?" Liu Yan was puzzled.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of doors banging was becoming more apparent.

“Hurry, jump now,” Wu Nian hurried Liu Yan while covering her with a blanket.

In no time, Liu Yan jumped out from the windows.

Wu Nian then quickly covered herself and jumped down too. She held onto Liu Yan and ran off. “Nian, what exactly happened? I need to know the truth please” Liu Yan asked in a worried tone.

“I don't know. I only saw a bunch of armed men rushing in and firing,” Wu Nian replied.

“Then, Gu Mingchen...” Liu Yan's heart stopped for a second, but she didn’t continue as Wu Nian's expression darkened.

Wu Nian pulled Liu Yan to the back of the villa and made her hide behind the bushes. “Don't come out no matter what happens. Do you understand?”

Liu Yan held onto Wu Nian’s hands and her eyes reddened. “Where are you going?”

“Nothing must happen to you because Bao’s still waiting for you to go home. If Gu Mingchen and I die, I'll leave Yanny in your care,” Wu Nian instructed.

Tears immediately rolled down Liu Yan's cheeks.

The word “die” was too cruel.

“Please don't go,” Liu Yan begged.

“Remember to hide well. You're our only hope.” Wu Nian pulled off Liu Yan's hand and disappeared into the dark.

The gunshots had gotten more intense in the living room.

Gu Mingchen got hold of a gun. One of the men shot straight into the leader, killing him. After Gu Mingchen killed a few of the masked men, the rest of them resorted to using over ten submachine guns and pointed towards him.

The couch Gu Mingchen used as a protection to hide behind was now full of bullet holes. The leader's body, which he had used as a shield, was also pierced till hollow from the gunshots.

That group of masked men stood together as a troop and move forward in an orderly manner. Everybody else was in grave danger. They could not move at all because any movements might cause numerous unwanted shots to them.

Those men used high-speed machine guns too, which were much more powerful and dangerous than the submachine guns. It could shoot through any couches, tables, or even brick walls.

At this crucial moment, a car crashed straight into the men holding on to the high-speed machine guns

The shooting angle was shifted as a result and hit a hole in the wall upstairs, causing pieces of the wall to fall.

Wu Nian continued to maneuver the car towards the men and destroyed their formation.

Gu Mingchen rolled over his back and found the high-speed machine gun. He fired at the enemy. A bullet flew towards the direction of the side windows while Wu Nian was reversing the car, and it shot right into her shoulders.

She moaned in pain, but continued reversing before she accelerated in full speed towards the house.

Gu Mingchen chanced upon the right timing and fired towards the men. Within five minutes, there was only a handful of the masked men left escaping.

While Wu Nian was reversing the car again, a masked man suddenly jumped in front of her. He aimed right into her head and fired.

Wu Nian quickly curled herself down. The bullet flew over her head and through the back window. The man then pointed at her head again and fired another shot.

Gu Mingchen saw that and immediately threw the gun he was holding on towards that man without thinking of his own safety.

That man was hit in his head and fell onto the ground.

Gu Mingchen was worried about Wu Nian. He ran towards her with all his might and ignored the surroundings.

That man, still conscious, then raised the gun and aimed right at Gu Mingchen’s head.

“Bang!”

Gu Mingchen turned around to find that man dead.

He looked in the direction where the bullet came from.

Aaron raised the gun he was holding and smiled at him.

Gu Mingchen nodded and rushed towards the car. He opened the car door to find Wu Nian with an arm covered in blood. “Wu Nian.”

Hearing Gu Mingchen'’s voice, Wu Nian looked up with a ghastly pale face. She tried to endure her pain and pulled herself together. “I'm fine.”

“Squat down.” Gu Mingchen instructed as he picked up the gun on the ground and rushed in. Bam! Bam! Bam! Su Xuyan killed another masked man standing inside.

Gu Mingchen rushed in and immediately killed another two. “Spare the last one.”

Su Xuyan then slowly pointed his gun at Gu Mingchen. He squinted his eyes that were filled with rage and anger.

Aaron saw something fishy. He looked at Su Xuyan weirdly while slowly shifted the gun towards his arm, with the red laser deliberately turned on too.

Su Xuyan saw that red laser on his arm and shifted his sharp gaze, which was filled with anger, to Aaron.

Aaron just smiled at him politely.

The masked man caught hold of this situation and quickly aimed at Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen was alert enough, and aimed at the masked man as well

The man furrowed his brows. He knew there was no way out for him, so he pointed the gun at his temples and shot himself to death

Gu Mingchen threw the gun and ran to the car to carry Wu Nian out. “Where's Liu Yan? I need the first aid kit,” he demanded in a worried tone.

Aaron ran over as well. “Nian.”

“Is the crisis resolved?” Wu Nian was very weak as she had lost too much blood.

"Yes. The enemy has been wiped out.” Aaron was heartbroken.

“Liu Yan is hiding in the bushes behind the villa. Take good care of her as she has never been through such situations,” Wu Nian instructed.

"You talk as if you've experienced it many times, but you're the only one injured.” Every word Aaron said sounded like he was berating her, but his tone was actually full of affection.

Wu Nian smiled and jokingly replied, “I got hurt on purpose, so you'd care for me.”

Wu Nian then felt an increased pressure on her upper body. She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Mingchen.

He looked like he didn't do it on purpose as he avoided looking into her eyes. He walked towards the room, placed her on the bed, and looked down at her. “Do you really need to get injured in exchange for his concern?”

“I'm kidding. He'll still care for me even if I didn't get hurt,” Wu Nian explained.

“So you're getting injured because you want his concern? Or was it because you wanted me to feel the pain?” Gu Mingchen asked seriously.
