Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

As he gathered Angela’s clothes, they were close enough that there was a long flash of disgust in her eyes and she stepped back without moving.

James raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, a flash of inquiry under his eyes, and frowned, “Is it cold?”

“It’s not cold.” Angela said.

It is indeed Angela’s voice.

James pursed his lips and gave her a deep look, glancing upstairs again without further ado, “Put your arms around me later and tell me if you’re scared.”

Angela’s face twisted for a moment, wanting to say something, but before she could say anything, she heard him say first, “Get in the car first, let’s talk about what’s going on on the way, it’s not safe here.”

“…… is good.” Angela paused for a moment before answering.

James got on the motorbike and Angela followed, but instead of putting her arms around him, she grabbed the back of the bike with both hands.

“No helmet, hold on to me, it’s dangerous.” James started the car, but didn’t go, twisting his head to admonish Angela.

Angela bristled, glanced at the Minister Durwyn’s men who were looking at her in a casual manner, and then wrapped her arms around James Qian’s industry-leading products with disgust.

The motorbike starts up and the cold wind hits you.

In order to get out of here as quickly as possible, James cranked up the speed, the biting cool wind whistling into the necks of both men.

The two drove a short distance away and were followed by several cars.

It was dark by now and the cars were not very visible, but they were all black VWs and had been following them for over ten minutes, which made them suspicious.

James saw this in his rear view mirror and his eyes turned a little colder.

Just as he suspected, Minister Durwyn wouldn’t leave him and Angela alone even if he got his hands on the books!

“There’s someone behind you, hold on tight and don’t look back.” He whispered a warning to Angela and twisted the handlebars violently, turning the car between a Land Rover and an Audi.

Before the owners of the two cars could react, he had taken an S-shaped route to twenty metres away.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

At once, brakes were applied, accompanied by the screams of many people, and the traffic, which had been moving at an even speed, instantly became a chaotic mess.

“Stop it!” Angela shouted, her face all urgent, “They’ll find out we’re running and they’ll shoot and hurt innocent people!”

James hadn’t slowed down, “This is a downtown area, they won’t mess around. If we stop, we’re only going to die!”

Minister Durwyn’s men, stuck behind him, honking their horns to no avail, opened their doors in unison and got out, stepping on the roof of the car, or running, all the way to chase James and Angela.

The road was blocked, and Angela and James were no better off, as the two drove less than a hundred metres and were also blocked.

The people in the traffic jam had no idea what was going on, and many followed suit and got out of their cars, talking –

“What’s going on?”

“That guy is so good looking, he’s not filming, is he?”

“You silly yo, what filming doesn’t clear the set?”

“Hello, 911? This is Lingyang Road, someone is riding a motorbike indiscriminately and the road is blocked!”

There was a lot of chaos when suddenly –

Bang!

The muffled sound of gunfire rang out at first.

The crowd suddenly fell silent and someone was asking, “What was that noise just now ……”

Bang, bang, bang!

Several shots rang out in quick succession, and this time everyone heard them clearly, screaming as the crowd covered their heads and ducked for the car with pale faces.

“Help! Help!”

“Husband!!!”

“Shoot, someone’s shooting, lots of shooting!”

It’s a mess.

James pulled a struggling Angela through the crowd and looked back just in time to see one of Minister Durwyn’s men with a gun raised on them.

“Look out!” James’ face was instantly bloodless, his body instinct faster than his brain could think, subconsciously shielding Angela in his arms and closing his eyes.

Bang!

As the gun went off, an unfamiliar male voice rang out in James’s arms –

“Fuck, Mr. James look out! Fuck, that fucking hurts!”

James was not shot, but in a moment of inattention, was kicked to the ground, his head colliding with the ground with a resounding thud.

He raised his head against the pain coming from his head and saw Angela pulling two buns from her chest and throwing them to the ground.

“Fuck ……” James stiffened on his face, cursing the word for the first time in his life, no wonder he didn’t think this Angela was quite right.

The person pretending to be Angela didn’t even look at him, but with a gun in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, he yelled at the other end of the phone, “Colonel He, help! Ling Yang Road, requesting backup! If I’m late, I’ll fucking die with your nephew!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, two of Minister Durwyn’s men had rushed over.

The two shots were aimed at James and ‘Angela’ respectively.

Bang Bang!

As the two shots rang out, James rolled and ducked sharply, then kicked ‘Angela’ in the side.

‘Angela’ was kicked and staggered, planting herself on the ground and wearing some of the scarring effects off her face.

He pooh-poohed and spat on the ground, “Why are you kicking me?”

“I’m afraid you can’t hide.” James said afraid, but there was no trace of concern at all in his eyes, and as he spoke, he had ducked behind a car.

‘Angela’ followed and ducked behind the car, muttering, “I can dodge it!”

“Oh.” James was in little mood to pay attention to him, just concentrating on Minister Durwyn’s men.

‘Angela’ was beside him, unable to control her complaints, “I’ve told you that this is a downtown area, so don’t do anything rash, but you won’t listen! If you hurt innocent people this time, I’ll have your uncle write you up and give you disciplinary action!”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, James kicked him away while taking a step back.

“Are you fucking addicted to kicking me? Don’t think that because you’re Colonel He’s nephew, I’m ……”

Before the words could be said, several shots rang out with a bang, landing right where they both had just been.

“Crikey?!” ‘Angela’ rubbed her nose sardonically, “These guys at Minister Durwyn have good hearing!”

“Stupid.” James spat out two words indifferently, snatched a gun from ‘Angela’s’ hand, rolled and fired two shots at two of Minister Durwyn’s men.

One shot hit one of the men in the knee and the other shot the man next to him in the chest, killing him instantly.

“Don’t mess around!” ‘Angela’ was on the verge of tears, “That’s my gun you’re holding, don’t shoot randomly will you?! It doesn’t say to shoot to kill, disobeying orders like that is punishable by disciplinary action!!!”

Why else would he need to run?

Would have gotten those guys killed long ago!

“This place is full of people, the chances of them shooting randomly and hurting someone are high. Let them take ordinary people hostage and cause a social panic, or just shoot them dead, two options, your choice.” James handed the gun to ‘Angela’.

‘Angela’ changed her expression, hesitated a few times and finally gritted her teeth, “Fuck it! You take that gun, I have another one here! I heard from your uncle that you’re in pretty good shape, come and try it out!”
