Chapter 66 - Doom

Wang Ming wasn't sure if One was bluffing him or not, so he had to find out. He hadn't heard Qiao Meng's voice on the other side, so he didn't really believe him.

"Are you trying to trick me? I didn't come here with anybody. Now goodbye!"

"Don't be so hasty, Wang Ming. If you want her to make a sound, then just ask no need to be so angry."

After One talked, Wang Ming heard a loud scream, like someone endured an excruciating pain. Was it really Qiao Meng? Wang Ming couldn't tell, but the person who screamed sounded like a woman. It had to be Qiao Meng, right who else could it be?

"Stop."

"Just stop it NOW!"

One didn't seem satisfied by Wang Ming's attitude, so he let the screams go for a few more seconds before stopping.

"Well, now that I have your attention, come to the door, you know which one. Walk up slowly with both of your hands in the air. If I see you have any weapons or walk too fast, I'm going to kill her then you understood? If you comply, then maybe she'll walk out of here alive."

Wang Ming was so close, just a few more steps, and he would have been out of the warehouse. But he couldn't just abandon her now, could he? Especially not after all his efforts to help her. But he needed a plan. What could he do? The man wanted to kill him, that's for sure.

He didn't believe One would let Qiao Meng go either. What could he do? But then Wang Ming remembered he still had his revolver. It still has one bullet in it. He had never used it on Gang Gou. Wang Ming knew now what he had to do. Taking a deep breath, he tapped the communications device and said.

"I'm coming over, please don't hurt her. I'll do whatever you want just please please don't hurt her!"

"Stop with the nagging, just come here now, before I shoot a bullet right in her head and then f.u.c.k her dead body."

Walking over with a slow pace, Wang Ming kept taking deep controlled breaths to keep himself calm. After taking about 50 steps Wang Ming finally saw the door, a man standing in front of it and Qiao Meng kneeling on the ground with a pistol pointed at her head. Seeing her like this made him feel panic, but he once again focused on his breathing.

"Wang Ming just RUN! Don't care about me survive. Please tell my parents I love them, even though we had many quarrels. Just go!"

Hearing Qiao Meng's shouts, One slapped her on the face to stop her. He couldn't shoot her now as Wang Ming was too far away he would run.

"Shut up, before I put a bullet in your back head."

Wang Ming got pissed seeing him slap Qiao Meng like that, but he still walked step-by-step closer. When he was 10 steps away, One finally said.

"Stop, hold your hands as high as you can, no funny business, and turn around."

Wang Ming complied with his orders and lifted his arms as high as he could to the air. Luckily he had hidden his revolver at his crotch so when he raised his hands up, One couldn't see the gun. He then turned around as ordered fast, so One didn't have more time to observe him.

"Please, One. I have one last request before I die. Shoot me once in the head to finish it all, I'm afraid of pain."

Hearing Wang Ming's last request, One just laughed out loud. He thought Wang Ming would plea for his girl's life or something, but to shoot him in the head? This was new, he had killed and executed many people in his life, but none were so intriguing as Wang Ming.

"Ok, I'll accept your wish. Now goodbye, greet Yama for me when you arrive at the underworld."

"No RUN Away please Wang Ming you can still just RU…."

Hearing Qiao Meng's shouts again, One then hurriedly fired his pistol right at Wang Ming's back head. Since he wasn't that far away, One was confident in hitting his head. But something unexpected happened as soon as One shot the bullet. Wang Ming jumped up just enough, so the bullet hit his back instead of his head.

But before One could shoot one more bullet, he felt his body shake from the pain he was feeling. After Wang Ming took the bullet to the back, One thought he could just shoot one more bullet at him, but Wang Ming used the force of his bullet to pivot in the air and shot One back, hitting him right in the crotch.

One couldn't do anything the pain was too intense. He wanted to shoot Wang Ming, but his hands were cramping up, the only thing he could do was to scream and hiss in pain.

"F.U.C.K, F.u.c.k you, Wang Ming. You're DEAD! Everyone you know is going to DIE!"

The shock only lasted a few seconds before he gained control of his hands again. Aiming at Wang Ming once again, One realized it was too late Wang Ming was only 1 step from him now. One got off one more bullet before finally hitting the door behind him, Wang Ming had used every inch of power in his body in that tackle. One slammed so hard into the door, that the door rattled and the door hinges almost gave to his power, which knocked One out cold.

"Wang Ming! Are you okay? You're bleeding! We need to get out of here!"

Wang Ming didn't realize that Qiao Meng was talking with him until she forced her body to stand up and shook his body. The second shot One had fired, hit his head. The bullet flew by the left of his head, hitting him right behind the temple before flying off hitting the wall.

Wang Ming had a big wound on the left of his head. It looked like someone had taken a knife and cut out a piece of Wang Ming's skin on the left of his head. But the pistol fired too close to Wang Ming's ear, which deafened his left ear. Screaming back at Qiao Meng, he looked at her with a confused look.

"What are you saying? Why are you shaking me?"

The adrenaline was still pumping in Wang Ming's body, so he couldn't feel the pain coming from the wound. Even though the wound bled profusely, his t-shirt was becoming red from all the blood he had lost.

Motioning for Wang Ming to turn his head, Qiao Meng said again.

"You're bleeding from your head! We need to get you and Louzheng out of here. We all need medical attention, lets go now, lets get Louzheng."

Before Wang Ming went to get Louzheng, he checked on One. He had to make sure that the tackle had knocked him out and wouldn't ambush them. Checking his pulse, Wang Ming still felt him breathing, but even after slapping him a few times, he didn't react at all. But before Wang Ming walked off, he grabbed One's pistol, feeling satisfied Wang Ming went to get Louzheng.

Louzheng felt worried ever since Wang Ming and then Qiao Meng went out. He wanted to join Qiao Meng out, but his legs could barely move, he couldn't muster enough strength to walk. So Qiao Meng walked out without him. She wanted to scout and to help Wang Ming. Louzheng had never felt so weak in his entire life. The only thing he could do to help Wang Ming now was to make sure Gang Gou did nothing.

The room's soundproof so Louzheng didn't know what happened outside, which drove him crazy. But then he finally heard someone open the door, but fearing it was the man he had seen earlier, he took a blanked and lied flat on the ground to camouflage himself.

Hearing footsteps slowly coming closer to him, Louzheng clenched his fists, ready to fight against the enemy. Feeling the blanket leave his body, Louzheng tried to jump up to fight the enemy, but he had forgotten his handicapped legs so he planted face down to the floor instead. Luckily the person who had grabbed the blanket grabbed him before he hit the ground.

Looking up at the person he saw it was Wang Ming, words couldn't describe the relief Louzheng felt at that moment it felt like he had just survived a nuclear bomb.

"Wang Ming! You're alive, you're back! What happened to your head?"

Wang Ming was happy to see that Louzheng still had energy to talk, but this wasn't the time.

"We'll talk later, Louzheng, we need to move now! Can you walk?"

Seeing Louzheng shaking his head, Wang Ming grabbed Louzheng's arm and put it over his shoulder.

"Well, you will need to endure the pain for now. Walk with me I'll support you with my shoulder."

Wang Ming tried to support most of Louzheng's body weight so it lessened his pain as much as possible, but Louzheng was just too big, so Wang Ming could really just support his left side. Qiao Meng could barely walk on her own, so he couldn't ask her to help him.

The trio then walked out the room, seeing the wooden piece they had chained Louzheng to only under an hour ago, stirred emotions in both him and Louzheng. Walking past it, they soon came to the door. Soon freedom, they thought. But as soon as they opened the door they saw a sight which spelled doom.
