This way, would he be able to protect his parents?

As Ma Si thought about this, his heart became more and more certain. His mind started to churn crazily as he thought about the hidden gunman.

Previously, he had guessed that there was a high probability that the small shop would be destroyed by now.

Since he was not the target, but the big shot, who was still in the car, the hidden gunman should be holding a sniper and aiming at this place from a distance.

As Ma Si walked, he silently scanned the distance.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, as if someone was holding a mirror and reflecting the sun on his face.

A gun scope!

Ma Si hurriedly lowered his head, mentally visualizing the places he could see in his mind.

On the left, six hundred meters away, on a tall tree, a figure was silently lying on the tree, quietly waiting for the big shot who was about to pass by.

Ma Si turned his head and walked to the side of the passerby who was talking just now, he pretended act familiarly and said, “Hello beauty, I’m the police. Because I received news that there are snipers nearby, I would like to ask you to clarify what you said just now.”

His voice was very serious, but on the surface, it seemed like he was talking to an acquaintance. It was to prevent the sniper in the dark from realizing that something was wrong.

“Don’t make a fuss or look around. There are snipers aiming at this side in the dark. Don’t be afraid. We already know about this. We need your cooperation.”

Ma Si’s voice was very calm, and there was a convincing look in his eyes.

He saw that the two girls’ expressions changed from playful at the beginning to nervous and then relaxed.

“Hello, you said that you’re a police officer… do you have any evidence?”

One of the girls brushed her hair, and the corners of her mouth dropped slightly as if she was joking. However, her voice trembled slightly, and she tried hard not to look around.

“There’s no time to explain now!”

Ma Si’s face was extremely solemn as he said, “The sniper in the dark has long since taken aim. As long as he waits for that big shot to appear, he will take action. Now, can you tell me when that big shot will arrive?”

His face was extremely solemn. He could only do this now. Otherwise, that so-called big shot should not be able to escape this calamity.

The young girl’s face was slightly pale. She raised the milk tea in her hand and said, “I don’t know, but I seem to have heard that they were to set off at three in the afternoon and arrive at Tianhai City.”

Ma Si’s heart trembled.

Three in the afternoon… it was already almost three in the afternoon, so this car would arrive here very soon.

He told the two women to keep quiet and left immediately.

Ma Si wanted to block the car on the road. This way, not only could he save the big shot, but he could also save a group of people who would get implicated.

As for the sniper in the dark… he did not even have any guns to return fire.

If these people could stage an assassination on this big shot, it meant that there were other people calling the shots in the dark. This was what he was thinking.

He would first avoid this disaster before deciding what to do in the following steps. The rest would be left to the others.

…

Ten minutes later.

Ma Si stood quietly by the side of the road, his gaze sweeping over the cars that were each packed with people.

He had already obtained the name of that important figure from that girl just now. After a search, he found whoever he was looking for.

Shang Jue was a prominent figure in the central capital. He was the youngest person in the past few years to be able to gain some standing in the central capital. It was said that he had immense power.

However, for some unknown reason, he had actually come to Tianhai City, a city that was neither big nor small. This made people very confused.

Ma Si waited by the roadside for 16 to 17 minutes.

Suddenly.

An Audi sped over.

Ma Si’s eyes moved, and he immediately saw a familiar face.

That was the person he was waiting for — Shang Jue.

This was all thanks to the observation that came with high-level gun techniques. If it was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to see who was in the car.

There seemed to be four people in the Audi.

One was the driver, one was Shang Jue, and there were two extremely powerful men with sturdy bodies. It was obvious that they were bodyguards.

Mas suddenly stepped forward and stopped the speeding car while shouting, “Stop, stop…”

Amidst the shouts, the sound of the Audi’s brakes rang out.

“Skreee!”

The sound of tires screeching against the ground rang out. The Audi was less than a few meters away from Ma Si and was about to crash into him.

“Do you have a death wish!”

The driver stuck his head out and roared, his face extremely red.

If he had not braked early, Ma Si would have been sent flying in an instant.

Ma Si ignored the driver, walked to the window, and slightly lowered his head to look at Shang Jue inside the car window.

Shang Jue was calm and composed, but the bodyguards beside him had reacted as if they were facing a great enemy. They placed their hands on their waists and waited for the boss to give the order.

“Who are you? Why did you stop me?”

Shang Jue looked at Ma Si calmly. His expression did not change at all.

When Ma Si saw this scene, he could not help but admire him.

A person in a high position would grow very suspicious. This was why it was said in ancient times that accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger.

However, Shang Jue was stopped by a stranger on the street. He did not panic but calmly asked him why.

Ma Si did not hesitate and said quickly, “1,200 meters ahead, there is a sniper. As long as this car moves 900 meters forward, it will enter his shooting range.

“So, you can either change your route or call the police. That way, you don’t have to worry about comfort.

“Of course… if you don’t believe what I’m saying, then just take it as me spouting nonsense.”

As Ma Si said this, he hesitated slightly.

He wanted to ask Shang Jue for help, but after thinking for a moment, Shang Jue would probably think that he was an idiot now.

He had rushed out of nowhere and said a bunch of words to him.

If it were him, he probably would not even bother with such a person.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Ma Si stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, in the car.

When Shang Jue heard this, he was briefly shocked. Then, his expression returned to normal. He turned his head to look out of the window and opened the window.

“Boss…”

The two bodyguards beside him called out anxiously. They did not want Shang Jue to open the window. No one knew the intentions of the person outside.

“No problem!”

Shang Jue displayed his decisiveness at this moment. He did not listen to the bodyguards. Instead, he opened the car door and looked at Ma Si calmly.

“Who are you? Why did you warn me? And how do you know about this?”

Shang Jue’s three questions immediately brought out the key points.

Ma Si said directly, “It doesn’t matter who I am. Call me nameless.

“Why am I helping you? I’m a nobody, but I wouldn’t want to see people getting sniped down in public.

“As for how I know about this…”

Ma Si thought for a while and answered truthfully, “Dozens of minutes ago, I sensed a gunman in the dark. He pointed the muzzle at me for a second and then moved away. From then on, I knew..”
