Chapter 491 Chaos breaks out
Chapter 491 Chaos breaks out
Avenue of Stars.
Ruan Xingmian and Pei Siyun did not leave immediately after shopping.
Instead, I chose a cafe for afternoon tea.
"Mianmian, the last time I drank coffee with you like this was a year ago, on my birthday."
Pei Siyun looked at her with a smile, and her beautiful and almost sharp facial features became bright and gentle because of this smile.
Ruan Xingmian also smiled and said, "Yes, we are all busy now. How are you going to celebrate your birthday this year?"
"Just like usual, my brother..." Pei Siyun was halfway through her words when she realized that she shouldn't have mentioned Xiao Mo in front of Ruan Xingmian, and immediately changed the subject, "I plan to stay in Country M for the second half of the year to avoid being harassed by the Qin family."
Ruan Xingmian had witnessed the Qin family's malice towards Pei Siyun long before, but because Pei Siyun had always handled it well, she never intervened.
"Okay, then you can enjoy the peace and quiet in Country M. By the way, is the other party satisfied with the design I gave you last time?"
"The other party is very satisfied. I estimate that in two days, I can transfer the balance to your company account."
After hearing this, Ruan Xingmian still felt it necessary to remind her.
"Sister Siyun, according to my investigation, this blood rose may represent some kind of underground force. You should pay more attention to it and try to reduce your interactions with such people."
Pei Siyun knew that she would not harm herself, so she immediately put down her coffee cup and asked, "Mianmian, do you know anything else? Don't worry, you can tell me everything."
Although she came to spend some time with her brother every year, and her brother behaved very normally, she always felt that something was wrong.
This feeling of something being wrong was particularly strong after I learned about the death of Jean Pasteur, the godfather of medicine.
But every time she asked, her brother would evade the question.
She also checked secretly several times and the results showed that her brother was doing legitimate business and running a chain restaurant company.
So she dropped the investigation.
Ruan Xingmian knew very well how much Pei Siyun valued her younger brother, and she did not want to sow discord between the two, but she was even more afraid that Pei Siyun would be kept in the dark and be dragged down by Pei Zimo.
"Sister Siyun, your brother may not be that simple. He may have connections with some underground forces with shady backgrounds. I don't know which forces they are, and I'm investigating."
Pei Siyun's face suddenly became gloomy after hearing this. A force that even Mianmian couldn't figure out must be not simple.
She bit her lip and asked again, "Mianmian, is your relationship with your brother very bad?"
When Ruan Xingmian turned around, his eyes met hers.
There were emotions surging in her eyes, but she suppressed them all.
"Sister Siyun, I don't want to lie to you. Your brother and I do have a bad relationship. If possible, I hope you can control him."
When Pei Siyun heard her say this, her heart ached.
Ruan Xingmian has always been clear about what she loves and hates. The fact that she said this shows that she had a very bad experience with her brother.
She couldn't bear to leave her brother, but she also couldn't bear to leave her best friend.
"Mianmian, those few people who appeared in Country M recently..."
"boom!"
Suddenly, a clear gunshot was heard from the end of the street.
"what!"
When the crowd behind heard the sound, they screamed in fear and ran towards them with their heads in their hands.
Ruan Xingmian recognized the sound of gunfire and grabbed Pei Siyun's hand, "Sister Siyun, let's go."
Anyone who dares to kill people with a gun here is either fearless or has made the worst plan.
No matter which one, you can't force it.
"What happened? Was that a gunshot?"
Pei Siyun ran while looking around, trying to find the culprit.
"Pfft-"
The man running in front of them was shot in the head instantly and exploded into a bloody flower in the air!
"Ah!" Pei Siyun and others were so frightened when they saw this scene that they screamed.
Ruan Xingmian's face darkened. She didn't hear any gunshots just now, which meant that the other party used a silenced gun.
Judging from the shooting angle, the mastermind is most likely hiding in the three-story building diagonally opposite.
"Sister Siyun, come this way!"
Ruan Xingmian pushed her directly into the alley, where there were tall buildings as cover, and the evil forces from the opposite side could not aim at them.
While they were hiding, the other side shot and killed two more people.
One of them looked like a college student working part-time.
"Mianmian, what should we do now? If we keep hiding here, if the police seal off the scene, we will most likely become innocent victims." Pei Siyun couldn't help scolding herself when she said this, "I shouldn't have let the bodyguards stay in the clothing store to get things. Otherwise, with their protection, we wouldn't be so passive."
"Quick, everyone run this way!"
Several police officers rushed to both sides of the pedestrian street, firing at the upstairs while covering the crowd as they ran to a safe place.
The people who were originally running around like trapped beasts immediately found their direction and ran towards the exit together.
"Let's go out too."
Ruan Xingmian carefully protected Pei Siyun and led her out.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, she caught a glimpse of a sharp wind in the air.
Without thinking, she pushed Pei Siyun towards the trash can next to her.
The glass of the shop behind them shattered, and the exploded glass immediately flew everywhere.
In order to dodge, Pei Siyun rolled on the ground and hit the trash can.
When he turned around, he saw Ruan Xingmian being forced back to the alley.
"Mianmian!"
"Sister Siyun, I'm fine."
Ruan Xingmian tilted his head and noticed a flash of light on the second floor through the reflection of other shops' glass.
Her eyes turned cold and she warned Pei Siyun across the street.
"Sister Siyun, please stay here for now and don't move. I'll go and deal with him."
"Mianmian, danger!"
Pei Siyun was worried that something might happen to her and wanted to stop her.
"It's okay, wait until I come back."
Ruan Xingmian smiled at her, turned and walked deeper into the alley.
She had just observed that she could go around the alley to the center of the street, where there was a platform leading upstairs connecting the shops on both sides.
Through the shooter's shooting curve and angle, she already knew the opponent's approximate location. While the opponent's firepower was attracted by the police, she quickly went up to the second floor.
Passing by a camping supplies store, she picked up a folding chair outside and walked straight inside.
Soon, the shooter was found in a semi-enclosed tent.
She suddenly lifted the door curtain and looked into the eyes of the curly-haired man who turned back in fright.
She curled her lips coldly, "I found you."
Curly didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly. His eyes suddenly became vicious and he raised his gun to shoot her.
But it was a step slower.
Ruan Xingmian rushed forward expressionlessly, swung the folding stool in his hand, and hit Curly-Mao's hand holding the gun hard.
"Ow!"
Curly felt the pain and the gun fell out of his hand.
He quickly took it with his other hand.
But how could Ruan Xingmian give him this opportunity!
She kicked Curly out of the tent.
Curly's flesh and bones felt like they were crushed by a heavy object, and he crawled up in pain.
Just as he struggled to hold up his upper body, a cold object pressed against his temple.
"Say, who sent you?"
