Chapter 65 - Escape

"Wang Ming, stop."

"STOP!" Qiao Meng shouted into his ears. The man was dead. She had checked his pulse, and he had none.

Wang Ming had pumped the man's c.h.e.s.t for the last few minutes, but he still didn't breathe. Seeing the tears in on his face, Qiao Meng sympathized with him. Qiao Meng had killed no one, but she knew from young that as a police officer you would need to hurt and maybe kill people. But Wang Ming is only a normal person, but now he had killed a person for the first time. She could definitely understand his stress and sorrow.

Grabbing his face so they saw each other eye to eye, Qiao Meng kissed Wang Ming on the lips. It was her way of thanking him, but also to get his attention.

"Wang Ming, I know it's hard for you now, I understand. But we need to get out of here, you killed in self defence. Think if you hadn't attacked him he would have killed all of us. Now we need to focus on getting out of here. Remember, you didn't kill him, you saved me and Louzheng."

"Thank you Qiao Meng, I know what I need to do now."

Wang Ming still felt shook up for killing a man. He knew he needed to focus on the task up ahead, to get them out of there. But his body didn't listen to him, his tears kept streaming down, his body shook. But he finally calmed down when Qiao Meng kissed him. He didn't expect her to do it, not in a situation like this. But looking into her beautiful eyes and feeling her lips on his, he knew what he needed to do to protect her.'

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Wang Ming grabbed the corpse and put it in the secret room. Then he walked back out, but before he did it, he took the earpiece. The man had and put it in his ear. He also took the transmitter and strapped it on his waist. Now he could listen in on his enemies.

"I'll be back, I have another plan now. The man I killed, has killed all of Gang Gou's underlings. I saw four other men with him. If I can sneak out and take them out one after another, then we can get out of here safely. I'll take the baseball bat with me this time, so I can easily knock them out with it. I also found out, Gang Gou is from the HouZi Gang, they colluded with someone else to kill me."

Qiao Meng didn't want Wang Ming to risk it, as this fight had been way too close already. If he didn't ambush them, then they would just shoot him. But they didn't have any other option, unless.

"Wang Ming, do you have your phone?"

"Yes, but I checked earlier there's no signal in here, I called for reinforcements before I entered the factory. But we can't just wait for them, I will proceed with my plan. They will find out soon that one of their men is missing, like how this man found the room it's bound that another person will find this room. But if I can take out the threat, then we don't have any worries."

What Wang Ming didn't say to Qiao Meng, was that if she hadn't been here, if he wasn't worried about her. He would have waited for the reinforcements before even entering the factory. But if it wasn't for Qiao Meng, then maybe Louzheng would have been dead when he arrived.

Since he has two other lives depending on him, he couldn't risk it by waiting for his reinforcements anymore. He would need to go on the offence, especially not after he killed one of their men.

Sneaking his way to the door again, this time he didn't hear anyone talking, not even on the communications device. It seemed like they would only talk with each other if they had crucial information. Peeking out the door Wang Ming didn't see anyone, he could hear someone walking around but not see anyone.

Hurriedly Wang Ming took the chance and moved quickly towards a stack of boxes a few meters up ahead, luckily in this room there were boxes everywhere which could give him cover. But as he dashed to the boxes, he saw the back of a man he had seen earlier he recognized the clothing. He had on the same clothes as the man he had killed earlier.

Tightening the hand holding the baseball bat, Wang Ming hit the man with the baseball bat the moment he turned his back towards him. Hitting the man square in the face with the baseball bat, though what Wang Ming hadn't accounted for was how much force he needed to use.

He had used too much force, so the man didn't fall to the floor but crashed into the boxes behind him, making loud noises. His communication device instantly buzzed with activity, One demanded to know what had happened but no one could give him an answer.

"Find out what happened. Gather back up at the primary room, I think there's a rat somewhere."

Since Wang Ming knew they would come he had the upper hand for now, they're five but he's taken out two already leaving only three left. His best bet would be to knock them out separately before they gathered up.

Sneaking away from the man he had just knocked out, Wang Ming tried to listen to footsteps, to find out where his next victim was. But even though he strained his ears, he couldn't hear anything. It seemed like the last three men were now extra cautious sneaking around themselves.

But one of them slipped up, Wang Ming had walked around for 30 seconds when he finally heard someone hitting a box with their leg. Hearing the sound close to him, Wang Ming tried to find the person, but he couldn't. Until he heard whispering from the earpiece.

"I found the rat, it's Wang Ming he's here. I'm in the north-east part of the room, 165 degrees. I'm going to strangle him come as soon as you ca..."

Luckily Wang Ming had the earpiece, so he could listen into the conversation. He also found out that not only did his body get stronger, but his senses like hearing and sight had got significantly better. Even though the man was whispering, Wang Ming still pinpointed his position.

Wang Ming still acted oblivious, walking towards the man's position, he even walked past the man's position to give him a false sense of security, then turning 180 degrees Wang Ming swung his bat right through a box hitting the man in the back head, knocking him out.

After knocking the man out, Wang Ming checked if he was breathing and luckily he was, though his head was bleeding, but not so much that it was life-threatening.

"Four! What happened!? Answer me!"

"Two, Three, Four, Five. Who's still here?"

"Two here!"

"Two, come to me now, I'm at the door where we had our meeting. Five's here he's only knocked out, but we will need to give him some medical attention. See you soon."

Wang Ming knew that this was his golden opportunity to escape, they shouldn't know that he can listen in, as the only earpiece missing is from Three whose body they had hidden, they shouldn't have found him.

Sneaking behind the boxes, Wang Ming tried to move as fast as he could to the exit. From where he was now he could see the door it was just on the other side, looking around he didn't see anyone, it seemed like the men had really went to the other door.

Wang Ming didn't bother to be sneaky now instead he ran as fast as he could to the exit, still using the boxes as cover. Running would make a lot of sounds, but if he got them to chase him, then that would give Louzheng and Qiao Meng the perfect chance to escape.

Running the fastest he had ever run, Wang Ming was only a few meters away. But then he saw a person standing right beside the door, protecting it. They had played him.

One had suspected someone listening in, so he had said see you soon, which was the code for protect the exits. Seeing the man point his pistol at him, Wang Ming panicked, but he only had this one shot. So he sped up, which was something Two never expected Wang Ming to do.

He had expected Wang Ming to stop and beg for mercy, but Wang Ming leapt at Two with an insane speed, tackling him since Two stood close to the door, Wang Ming's tackle not only made him hit the door, but sent them both through it, shattering the glass door.

Since Two took most of the impact Wang Ming was just fine. While Two had glass pieces pierced over most of his body, but he was still alive as the glass pieces had hit no vital artery.

Wang Ming was about to sprint out of the building when he heard something on the earpiece that made his heart go cold.

"Wang Ming, I have your lover. Did you think you could get us to chase you so they she could run? I'm not that gullible the only reason you hadn't run away earlier had to be you had something to do here. Now come to me before I slit her throat and feed her to dogs."
