Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Don’t Underestimate Me!

“You deliberately gave the gun to me? Why?”

“I’m worried that you won’t leave the hall with me. If that’s the case, you can use it to defend yourself. At that time, whether you can live or not, it would no longer be my problem. Hehe,” Xu Heng said, “Inside the envelope is the information about the identities of those five people and the evidence of their previous crimes that I have collected in the past. Probably, the police never even heard of some of them. You can give this to Officer Dong, even if the information inside would not be able to help her to get a promotion, at least it can save the police a lot of trouble. . .”

“Trouble? You mean having trouble finding the direction of the investigation?” I mocked, “Just like how you told me your past, you want me to tell the police how they should do their job?”

Xu Heng was dazed. He couldn’t help but chuckle, “Maybe, but Mr. Chu, I am really happy that I have told you what had been buried in my mind for many years. Although you do not agree with me, I know that you are at least willing to believe in me and believe in my past. . .”

I put down the gun, sighed sadly, and said sympathetically, “Yes, I believe in your past, but…”

At the moment when Xu Heng stared at my lowered hand with doubts, I suddenly moved to the corner and kicked the watering pot toward him! This guy was waiting for me to make mistakes, but I was also waiting for him to lower his guard. Thanks to him for being so confident, the moment he thought I was finally fooled by him, his tense nerve appeared to be relaxed!

As the main midfielder of the school football team in high school and college, I was still very confident in my own kick. It must be said that this was one of the few skills of mine that was recognized by Chu Yuan. Back then, she often went to watch my game with my stepmother. My kick was quick and fierce, and because the distance was so close, Xu Heng had no time to dodge. The watering pot slammed onto his chest accurately, and while his upper body leaned back, I sprinted forward.

Bang!

There was a sharp pain in my thigh and my legs became soft. I grunted in pain and staggered. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to slam my body into Xu Heng’s arms with all my strength, causing him to fall to the ground. Then ignoring the pain in the thigh, I quickly got on top of him, pressing my knees on both of his arms and pushing the pistol’s muzzle into his mouth.

I always felt that Xu Heng lowered the muzzle deliberately. He didn’t seem to want to kill me, but the bullet was still shot into my thigh, causing blood to gurgle out. It instantly dyed my trousers red. The feeling of pain constantly stimulated my mind, making me lose control of my emotions. At this moment, how would I still have time to care about whether he wanted to kill me or not? Like a murderous devil, I smiled grimly, but said righteously, “I believe in your past, but as you said, I don’t agree with what you did! Give me the remote control of the bombs!”

With my hands tied together, I was unable to search Xu Heng’s body while pointing a gun at him.

“Ha, haha, hahaha—” Xu Heng smiled muffledly with the muzzle in his mouth, “Mr. Chu is really a person that should not be underestimated. You completely caught me off guard. But I am not a simple-minded animal like Man Zi. Do you have the courage to shoot and kill me? Not to mention that your gun still has the safety on. Don’t you think this kind of threat is too weak?”

“Is it?” I was shocked. However, on the surface, I still pretended to be calm. I pulled the muzzle out of his mouth, and before he could react, I pulled the trigger while aiming at his right shoulder. . . Did he think I was a fool? Whether the safety was on or off, I would know once I tried it.

“Bang!” The recoil startled me and my whole body trembled. Damn Sister Tiger was really bold enough. The safety of the pistol in the handbag was not on.

After Xu Heng let out a painful cry, I pushed the muzzle of the pistol that was still fuming smoke into his mouth again. This was the first time I shot and wounded someone, my hands were trembling with horror, and I almost couldn’t suppress the inexplicable guilt in my heart. However, I still could only force myself to reveal a cold face and said, “I may be a layman, but a layman can still kill you. So don’t underestimate me! Maybe I’m not smart enough, but I’m definitely not as stupid as you think, so don’t play with me anymore. Just give me the remote control!”

“He, hehe, I thought I was hiding pretty well, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Chu could hide much deeper than me. you had me fooled completely. . .” Xu Heng stared at me with a livid face and said with pain, “Kill me! Otherwise, I will definitely detonate the bombs!”

Sure enough! My guess was not wrong. Although I didn’t know how he was going to escape, the answer should be in this warehouse. The so-called he had something to say to me was just an excuse. The reason why he wanted to show that he respected me was probably that he wanted to obtain my trust. After that, he would be able to fool me easily and lead me into this warehouse.

Although closing the door of the warehouse seemed to be an illogical move, it was likely the key to his escape!

In all likelihood, once he could escape from here, he would definitely detonate the bombs, creating greater chaos, forcing the police to rescue the hostages and stop chasing him.

If it weren’t for this, why would he refuse to give me the remote control for the bombs?

Because of the sound of the gunshot, it was already a mess outside the door of the warehouse. Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye shouted loudly in the barking of the dogs. From the noises they created, it seemed like they wanted to break in in spite of the danger.

Fortunately, they were stopped by the armed police. But I could already hear Mo Fei’s cry and Dong Xiaoye’s curses.

“I’m fine! Don’t worry.”

I shouted to calm the crowd outside the door. After three seconds of silence, Mo Fei said loudly with joy, “Chu Nan, are you really okay? What happened to the gunshot just now?!”

Xu Heng’s face turned ugly. At this time, he was subdued by me. As long as I called the armed police to come in, let alone escape, he would not even have a chance to detonate the bombs. But I also didn’t understand why I didn’t do that. I simply responded to them, “it was an accident!”

The sound of gunfire rang out twice, no one would believe it was an accident. However, I didn’t care if Dong Xiaoye and the others believed it or not. Instead, I suppressed my voice and said lightly to Xu Heng who was surprised, “I don’t care for what purpose you didn’t kill me. But it is a fact that if you had left me in the hall and chose someone else, you would’ve definitely been able to escape from this place today, and I would’ve definitely been killed by your accomplice. Earlier on, it was also you who stopped the gunman called Man Zi from killing me, so it is tantamount to saving me twice… With the two women outside, I owe you three lives. . . I am not a policeman, so I have no obligation to catch you, but if so many people died because I did not stop you from detonating the bombs, I would not be able to forgive myself. So, give me the remote control. I, I. . . will let you go!”

I gritted my teeth and said the last few words with difficulty.

Xu Heng couldn’t believe it. After he was surprised for a moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mr. Chu, I am a murderer and the culprit who planned everything tonight. You finally caught me, but you want to let me go? Is it because of the so-called dignity that made you do this? Because you don’t want to owe me?”

“I don’t know,” I looked at Xu Heng’s mocking gaze, my face was calm, “maybe it has nothing to do with dignity, but because I also have a little sister. . . I don’t mind if you want to mock me for being hypocritical.”

I really couldn’t be a hero, because I sympathized with this murderer. Was this the legendary Stockholm syndrome? I didn’t know. I only knew that Xu Heng, who designed such a detailed crime in order to allow the police to thoroughly investigate Long Xiaotian’s crimes, loved his family deeply. Perhaps, it was because of this that made me hesitate and made me decide to let him leave.

Of course, I had also thought about it sensibly. Since I definitely would not dare to kill him, I would eventually need to get help from the police. But once I called the police for help, Xu Heng would definitely detonate the bombs in desperation. I didn’t even know where the bombs were, what if there was one nearby? Then I might also be killed. Being shot by a gun was one thing, but being killed by a bomb was totally different. Speaking of which, my thigh still hurt like hell. . .

Xu Heng was stunned. He who had been fooling other people for the whole night was finally fooled by me this time. He pulled out his right hand from under my leg that was numb and weak left from the blood. But he didn’t aim the gun at me and pull the trigger. Although I pretended to be fearless, the moment he pulled his hand out, I was so scared that I almost collapsed on the spot. If the cold sweat from my whole body was concentrated in the crotch, probably it would look no different than I peed myself. . . It was so damn scary! Finally, the acting skills that I normally used to deal with Chu Yuan saved my life!

“The ‘Number Five’ was deliberately planted in an unmanned parking lot. The car was blown up just to deter the police. I had pressed this button when we were in the hall. There were seven bombs in total. ‘Number Eight’ is below the open-air stage outside the manor, most of the family members waiting for the hostages to be released are sitting on that bomb, haha, ‘Number Six’ is in the flower pot in Long Xiaotian’s study room on the second floor, ‘Number seven’ is behind the gas tank in the kitchen, and ‘Number one’ to ‘Number Four’ are placed in the hall where the hostages are now gathered. . .” Xu Heng took out the remote control from his pocket and told me the bomb positions corresponding to the eight buttons on the control one by one. I stood up, no longer pressing him on the ground. After he was able to move freely again, he put the remote control in my hand.

My hands were shaking. I was scared that I would accidentally detonate the bombs. Xu Heng was indeed a ruthless man. Once the button was pressed at the same time, there would be a lot of casualties from both the police and the hostages’ families. The manor would also be destroyed by the bombs. Only a few people would probably be able to survive the explosion. . .

“Even if I didn’t detonate the bomb, as long as I was not caught, the police would investigate to the end.” Xu Heng picked up the case of money again and retreated to the back of the van while pointing the gun at my other leg. This time, he would not let his guard down anymore, even if I was injured. With a determined look, he said coldly, “I can’t be caught. I have to see the decline of the Long Family and the fall of those corrupt officials with my own eyes. I have to see those people being punished!”

What a persistent belief in revenge he had. . .

I endured the pain in my thigh and carefully kept a distance from him. After I retreated to the back of the van with him, I saw that there was an off-road motorcycle parked behind the car. After Xu Heng removed a big square plank from the wall near him, a big hole appeared in the wall!
