Chapter 284: A Jianghu Person Who Didn't Fire a Shot
On the street, two of the four bandits held You Yifan's company manager, running quickly into the alley, while the other two covered from behind - one holding a gun-like object, one holding a knife, slowly retreating.
In the car, You Yifan's sister's expression was tense, her eyes fixed on the captured manager, reminding again: "Can't let them take the person - there's a gun in the glove compartment."
Hearing You Yifan's sister's reminder, Dabai immediately pointed at the front passenger glove compartment asking: "Is it this one?"
"Yes, right there, I've seen my brother take it..." You Yifan's sister nodded.
Hearing this, Dabai opened the glove compartment, searching inside with his right hand, indeed taking out a holstered handgun and some bullets in special moisture-proof bags.
This was You Yifan's private car worth nearly 300,000 - if before the New Era, it would have been a luxury car worth 2-3 million.
You Yifan was a naval officer - his private vehicle had special permits, plus he liked firearms and shooting normally, so getting a properly licensed gun wasn't difficult at all.
With the gun out, Dabai's emotions steadied considerably. He turned asking Su Tiannan: "Get out?"
Su Tiannan looked up at the front of the vehicle, seeing those two covering bandits also starting to flee.
"What are you two stunned for, chase them?! Even if we can't get the person back, we must take down one of them. That manager is very important..." You Yifan's sister urged anxiously.
Su Tiannan clearly hesitated before pushing open the door, preparing to step out.
From behind, Su Miaomiao, who had been startled fully awake, immediately reminded: "Brother, brother... be careful."
"We two get out, you come from back to front to drive, leave directly," Su Tiannan instructed his sister before stepping one leg out of the car.
Just then, Su Tiannan suddenly noticed a man standing by the alley entrance where the bandits were fleeing, hands in pockets smoking a cigarette, looking toward the car.
Behind that man was a medium-sized restaurant, its entrance blindingly bright, severely affecting visibility. Su Tiannan couldn't see his face clearly, could only make out a male silhouette.
The distance between them was about 150 meters - this side had a kidnapping incident, that man at the restaurant entrance definitely heard the commotion, but he didn't move, just kept staring toward the car.
Su Tiannan felt something was wrong - he felt that person was either a lookout or commander - if he and Dabai rushed over rashly, there might be problems.
"Are we going or not?!" Dabai asked Su Tiannan with sweat on his forehead.
"Don't go - they probably have more than four people," Su Tiannan withdrew his leg from the car. "Call the police, notify Brother Fan."
Hearing this, You Yifan's sister immediately shouted anxiously: "What are you thinking?! I told you our company's manager is very important - go chase them. There are just four of them, and you have a gun - even if we can't get the person back, take one down, draw the patrol police..."
Su Tiannan replied in a low voice: "Someone's keeping watch for them at the restaurant entrance."
"That person isn't with them - he came out from the restaurant, I saw earlier."
"Definitely together," Su Tiannan insisted.
While they were arguing, the four bandits had already taken the manager into the alley, passing right in front of that man at the restaurant entrance. But the latter had no reaction, as if he hadn't seen anything.
In the car, You Yifan's sister, who had some unknown private relationship with that manager, was very agitated. Seeing Su Tiannan not moving, she immediately reached out shouting: "Give me the gun, I'll go!"
Dabai looked at her, replying with furrowed brows: "You can't go - if something happens to you, we can't face Brother Fan..."
"Give it to me quickly!" You Yifan's sister stood up from the back seat, very agitated trying to grab the gun: "He can't be taken away, give it to me!"
"Sit down!" Su Tiannan pushed her: "Only four came to kidnap, but do you know if they have more people in the alley? Going rashly will cause trouble - my sister is also here..."
"Damn it, you're a grown man - and you call this mixing in jianghu?!" You Yifan's sister cursed in frustration, both hands already grasping the gun in Dabai's hands.
"Vroom!"
Just as they were arguing in the car, engine sounds rose from the alley - everyone froze.
You Yifan's sister was anxious - she didn't have time to grab the gun anymore, directly jumping out of the car, pulling off her high heels, stepping toward the alley.
"Let's follow," Su Tiannan called out, running out with Bai Hongbo: "Little sister, you drive."
Hearing the call, Su Miaomiao crawled from the back seat to the driver's seat, closing the door and skillfully shifting gears to start the car.
On the street, the three ran wildly to the alley entrance, standing by the road to see an SUV inside speeding quickly toward the exit on the other side.
At the restaurant entrance, that man with the cigarette, face red and walking unsteadily, held a phone saying with furrowed brows: "I'm not fucking drunk - I'm drinking with the Market Supervision Department people... Coming home later. Stop nagging... I won't come back."
"Huff huff!"
You Yifan's sister looked at the SUV that had disappeared in the alley, breathing heavily several times.
From the restaurant, two men walked out, one looking up calling to the smoking man: "Old He, finished calling the wife?"
"Finished, finished, all settled."
"Then let's go, massage?"
"Let's go!"
The three called out exchanging words, walking together arm in arm to the street corner, finding an idle car and leaving.
Su Tiannan watched the three leave with tightly knitted brows.
"Bang!"
Just then, You Yifan's sister rushed over, punching Su Tiannan's shoulder cursing: "Useless!!! I told you they weren't together!"
Su Tiannan came to his senses, looking at You Yifan's sister without speaking.
"And you call this mixing in jianghu?! Complete bullshit!" You Yifan's sister was furious, hands on hips, returning to the car to take out her phone, immediately dialing her big brother's number.
By the road, Su Tiannan said to Su Miaomiao: "Don't worry about it - hurry home."
"You all...?!" Third Sister was somewhat worried.
"They've all run - nothing more will happen - you go back," Dabai also comforted.
Tens of seconds later.
You Yifan on the ship called Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu, Zhou Tonghui, Su Tianbei and others, taking the shuttle boat together rushing toward shore.
Gui Mengjun's family wouldn't hold their trade exhibition until next month, but now because of this event's overt and covert struggles, they were already playing out in Dragon City...
