Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 164 Sounds Good Too

Hui Yin knew he wouldn't agree, so she didn't wait for his response. She picked up her tea cup and aimed it at the approaching butcher. He dodged, but she expected that too.

Hui Yin ran towards the door. When the butcher tried to stop her, Lu Shen hit the butcher's leg with a swift kick and thrown him over to the floor. It was done in less than a second.

Hui Yin blinked. This man's judo skills were too impressive. But she knew that for the Party Secretary to sit like that without a care in the world, he must have been hiding a weapon.

"Go!" Hui Yin turned the knob, but it was locked. "Lu Shen!"

As they switched positions, Hui Yin saw in the corner of her eye that the Party Secretary was starting to stand up. Knowing that they didn't have enough time, she picked up her wooden chair and threw it at him.

You bald bastard, take this!

Lu Shen succeeded in kicking the door open. It was made of flimsy material, and he aimed near the keyhole, the weakest part of the door.

Just as Hui Yin had thrown the chair, she saw that the woman and the tea lady were taking out their guns. Her heart thudded to a stop. It wasn't only the Party Secretary who had a weapon. In addition to the drugged tea, these people came well-prepared for any unforeseen situation that could arise.

Lu Shen pushed her down. "Duck!"

The bullets whizzed past the two of them and created holes into the wall. Each loud sound of the gun firing was amplified inside the small room.

Lu Shen crawled towards the unconscious butcher and used it to cover their bodies as he pulled Hui Yin towards the open doorway.

Her lips twitched. This was the true definition of being a meat-shield.

"Stop them!" shouted Party Secretary Lee.

He was sweating profusely as he had not expected for the situation to come this far. Wasn't that man seriously injured? How did he manage to move so quickly? He Fenfang and the other woman were only amateurs who had been given a gun. As for him, all he knew was how to accept bribes and entice the villagers. He did own a gun, but he hadn't fired one for several years.

Hui Yin quickly changed plans when she saw the look on the Party Secretary's face. Could they win? Compared to being captured, it would be far better to interrogate her would-be capturers for information instead.

Lu Shen knew what the girl beside him was thinking. He flipped the table on its side and stashed her behind it.

"Lie down on your stomach, they won't aim that low," he whispered to her. "I'll fight them."

"But your shoulder is injured!"

His eyes lit up. "Are you worried for me?"

"It's not a question of whether I'm worried or not, I just don't want to be responsible for a person's death!"

He gently patted her head. "Thinking about me because of guilt for the rest of your life sounds good too."

"..."

This man was crazy.

Using the butcher to receive the stray bullets, Lu Shen dashed out from behind the table. As for Hui Yin, she obediently laid down and covered her head.

There were grunts and screams, shouts and gunshots. The sound of a scuffle soon entered her ears, and Hui Yin wanted to take a look. But she didn't dare to.

Not long afterwards, Lu Shen's exhausted voice called her over.

"It's alright, you can come out now."

Hui Yin timidly crawled out from behind the table. She saw the two women immediately, and they were lying down side by side, with the butcher between them. Both females were sporting twin black eyes and a busted nose. Studying their banged up appearance, Hui Yin couldn't help but rub her nose.

This man truly...didn't have any tender feelings towards the fairer sex. He even punched their faces.

But what is with this strange position?

"The butcher had an affair with the two women, and the two of them decided to fight it out." Lu Shen's low voice interrupted her reverie. "The butcher tried to stop them, but he was the one who got shot instead. Afterwards, I took their guns and they punched each other, so having no choice, I knocked them out."

Hui Yin's eyes glanced towards him. He was sitting with his back on the wall, and his shoulder injury had started bleeding again. The Party Secretary was beside him, both of his arms broken. He looked miserable.

"The Party Secretary wanted to scold the butcher for his affair, and the man got angry. He broke two of his arms. As for us, since I'm injured and you were scared, we hid in the corner and didn't intervene."

Lu Shen was truly efficient. He already had a cover up story for what happened.

Hui Yin sat beside him. "What about the actresses?"

"Fainted due to fright. One of them is dead. Hit by a stray bullet. The butcher too."

Hui Yin was already feeling woozy due to the tea, and this piece of news nearly made her pass out. She had stayed strong before because adrenaline took over her body, but now that the fight was over...no.

She still couldn't faint here. There was still Party Secretary Lee, whom she needed to question about the culprit.

While Hui Yin was on her mental journey, she felt a sudden weight on her shoulder. When she looked over, she saw that Lu Shen had fallen asleep and his head was using her shoulder as his pillow. He breathed deeply and evenly, his fluttering eyelashes casting shadows along the crest of his cheekbones.

Well, no wonder. Hui Yin only took a sip of her tea. He drank nearly half of it. It was already surprising that he hadn't passed out earlier.

Hui Yin looked silently at Party Secretary Lee.

"I know what you want to ask." There were no pretenses in his voice now, only resignation. Party Secretary Lee heaved a deep sigh.

"I've only met him once, and I didn't get to see his face. He said he wanted to kill Mr. Lu here, and if I could do that, he'll be able to raise my position and transfer me to the city. If we could spare you, then we should. But if we couldn't...he told us to kill you along with Mr. Lu."
