In Pei Lie’s ears, all the sounds around him seemed to instantly fade away. Only the sound from the earpiece strikes his heart like a heavy hammer, causing him much pain that left him breathless, as he subconsciously shouted: “Tong Tong!”
No response came from the opposite line. But Pei Lie felt his entire body grow colder and colder. They had clearly entered the pre-departure area, and their flight was bound to depart in less than half an hour. The boarding announcement was even being broadcasted in the departure gate. They were originally just a step away from being able to leave smoothly. But in an unfortunate turn of events, he lost a thousand miles in an instant.
Pei Lie’s chest felt like it was being crushed by a huge invisible hand. The chill continuously flowing down from his back even made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. While trying to find the location of the little koi with the positioning device he carried, he shouted to the enemy in the opposite line: “Don’t touch him! I’m the one you want to deal with, come to me if you want something, don’t move him!!”
There was still no response from the opposite line. Only a m.u.f.fled sound like a person falling to the ground could be faintly heard on the earpiece, stimulating Pei Lie’s nerves. Immediately after, not knowing what those people had done to the little koi, Pei Lie suddenly heard the slightly indistinct and helpless voice of the little koi say after a short while.
“Pei Lie, Pei Lie……”
He is calling his name.
Pei Lie loves listening to the little koi say his name the most in usual times, with such a saccharine and coquettish like sound at the end of the syllable, which stirs his infinite love. Yet at this very moment, when this call reached his ears, it instantly gave him a torrent of pain, with bleeding wounds just like being shot by a gun.
As one of the most senior members of the organization, no one knows the organization’s way of handling things better than Pei Lie. Ruthlessly merciless, doing the most unexpected, and leaves zero margin of error. The infallibly indomitable Pei Lie felt such a breadth of fear for the first time, then said: “Tong Tong, Tong Tong, don’t be afraid……”
He tried to comfort his little koi, but didn’t realize that he was more frightened than the little koi. Those envisage scenarios of the injured and bleeding youth caused a slight tremor in his voice. The cracks in his heart incessantly expanded, spreading throughout his body.
“I want to meet the general,” Pei Lie’s tone of voice was both impatient and hoa.r.s.e, “Don’t hurt him. So long as his fine, I’ll agree to anything you say, I–”
But the call disconnected at this time.
Pei Lie took a deep breath as he tried to calm down. But due to a signal interference, the positioning device had been unable to determine the exact position of the little koi the entire time.
Not far ahead, the pa.s.sengers on the flight they were scheduled to take had almost finished boarding. Only he was left alone, tightly clenching the mobile phone and the positioning device. Being swallowed by worry and fear from inside out. He continued to locate him, while striving hard to straighten his thoughts. He determined that the other party couldn’t have taken the little koi too far away in such a short period of time, and had surely haven’t left the airport yet.
Those killers really hadn’t left the airport yet.
Because of time constraints, so not a lot of their people had managed to come over. They also didn’t plan to confront Pei Lie in such a crowded place like the airport. Their goal from the start to end had been very clear, which was to kidnap the little koi who looks delicate and easy to deal with. Then place pressure on Pei Lie through the little koi.
Even if there weren’t much people on their side, but each one of them had ruthless characters, who had grasped the weakness of Pei Lie, whose proficient in attack and pursuit but not in protection and anti-tracking. They keenly grasped all the possible gaps for the chance to get inside, and stealthily injected a sedative drug at the nape of the youth who went into the bathroom alone.
The sedative’s effect was especially quick acting. The little koi lost consciousness the second he was injected, and weakly fell down. Then under the perfect cover and cooperation of another person, was taken away as swift as a sudden clap of thunder.
What they never expected to occur was, the drug’s effect that could make a person unconscious for no less than 5 hours only lasted for a minute on the little koi.
Just as the call to threaten Pei Lie was connected, the little koi, who had managed to open his eyes in daze, couldn’t help but suddenly start to struggle. The killer, who was carrying him up the plane’s ramp was instantly startled, but quickly regained his calm, and was about to restrain the youth once more. But had been unexpectedly shoved away by the youth. The other, who was making the call next to him was also knocked into the air, with the extraordinary force.
This was in fact, less than one-fifth of the actual strength of the little koi. His spiritual energy was a bit dysfunctional due to the sedative left in his body, so only a small portion could be utilized. His head felt somewhat muddled as well, together with a hazy vision. But he instinctively knew that he must leave this place, so he turned and walked away.
But had failed to notice that he was still on the plane’s ramp. He thereupon stepped on an empty s.p.a.ce, and fell to the ground from several sections of high steps.
With such an unpredictable fall, psychological tears started to gather at the rim of his eyes, in addition to the feeling of being very wronged. He then subconsciously searched for Pei Lie’s figure as he faintly cried out: “Pei Lie, Pei Lie……”
This was exactly the situation that happened during the call that had caused Pei Lie’s heart to incessantly ache. This intermittently reached Pei Lie’s ears through the mobile phone that fell on the floor, and had almost crushed his nerve.
The little koi finally failed to control the tears in his eyes, causing it to unexpectedly fall. Rain fell over the entire airport afterwards, pelting the gla.s.s walls. Pei Lie gritted his teeth till it almost bled. He looked at the huge airport through the rain-stained gla.s.s wall. It looks more vast and boundless under the deep night, and was so dark as if there was an existence of a man-eating monster.Chapter 105: The hitman’s little koi 19 (part 2 of 2)The positioning device in his hand finally achieved it’s purpose at this time, the location is the airport ap.r.o.n.
Private planes can be docked in all the major airports in the country by just paying the parking, take-off and landing fee, along with the presentation of the owner’s certificate, even without the owner’s presence. Pei Lie, who instantly realized that the other party might bring the little koi from San Francisco to the organization’s headquarters straight away, immediately rushed into the departure gate like a fierce cheetah. Rushing to the direction indicated by the positioning device.
The gate had stopped the boarding process at the scheduled time before take-off. The staff in charge of the ticket inspection had also left. Pei Lie, nonetheless directly crossed over the layers of isolation railings, dashing through the entire way. The footstep sounds echoed in the empty path, each sounded just like an impeding doom.
His pace continued to pick up speed. He, for the first time felt that the speed he was immensely proud had never been as slow as this moment.
Faster! More faster!
Stepping over the wet lawn, pa.s.sing through the long airstrip and the planes quietly parked amid the rainy night. The second he closed in on the specified location, he finally caught sight of the little koi, who was struggling to stand with his back leaning against the airplane’s ramp in the distance. In the dark, it was impossible to ascertain whether the youth had sustained injuries. But swiftly saw the gun pointed at the youth.
He swiftly and noiselessly swept in like a falcon without a second thought, and instantly closed the distance to no less than a person away from the gunman. The ultra-thin blade in his hand frighteningly flashed, directly striking towards that man’s neck.
That man’s reaction wasn’t slow either. He quickly turned around due to the sudden and unusual movement of the wind, then swiftly fired towards Pei Lie.
The bullet only made a soft whistling sound under the function of the silencer. A bit of blood spattered out from Pei Lie’s shoulder. But almost at the same second, the blade in Pei Lie’s hand, also plunged into the opponent’s throat accurately!
With a deft flick of his wrist, he slit the opponent’s throat, causing the blood to splatter, and splash onto one side of Pei Lie’s cold face. Pei Lie immediately threw the body off, and hurried to the side of the little koi.
The little koi, whose eyes lit up the instant he saw Pei Lie, also ran towards his direction. The gunshot wound on the man’s shoulder made him feel distressed for unknown reasons. He unexpectedly had a mysterious feeling that his kiss could make the other side get better. So he lowered his head, and earnestly pressed his lips against the wound for a kiss.
Pei Lie inevitably felt nervous, for fear of exposing the healing ability of the little koi, that he immediately wanted to put a stop to his actions. But the fierce a.s.sault coming from the other killers came one after another. So, Pei Lie could only protect the youth by dropping down in haste, to avoid the series of incoming bullets.
No less than four dark shadows closed in on them one after another. Scaling down step by step in a triangular pattern, like an beast rounding up it’s prey. A cold night wind suddenly burst, blowing stronger and bigger, making it somewhat troublesome for people to open their eyes. The scene, subsequently fell into a storm-like battle ground as well. Pei Lie turned around and placed the little koi behind the relatively safe ramp. Then, rushed toward the shooter closest to him, and faced the oncoming bullets instead of retreating.
He had quite a lot of experience in being shot by a gun, so he was not the least bit afraid of the bullets. He inevitably got shot in the waist, but had successfully clutched on that man’s neck as well, and had twisted the opponent’s neck with an unimaginably frightful strength, which was strong enough to break it.
In the next instant, he took hold of the other person’s arm, and quickly took over the gun in his hand. Then used the body of this corpse as a shield, as he aimed to the three remaining people.
One shot, two shots, three shots. Swift and ruthless. — Consistent to the style of an outstanding hitman who stood at the top of the organization’s strength evaluation list for seven years.
The chaotic gunfire was mixed with short-lived screams and the sound of the knife cutting through flesh, in conjunction with the howling wind and rain, was just like a symphony of death. Pei Lie was shot again in the left arm, but had been able to bring down all the people with the quickest speed. But just as when the battle was clearly over, a gloomy and cold voice was carried by the wind:
“.…..long time no see.”
A man wearing a dark colored windbreaker, who had unknowingly appeared at the plane’s hatch, condescendingly looked down on Pei Lie, as he slowly walked down the ramp. Pei Lie, who didn’t expect that there would still be another person on this plane, immediately looked up, and realized that the other party was actually Arthur.
Pei Lie naturally remembered this hypocritical British man, who ‘took away’ his little koi twice very clearly, had also wondered why the other side was always so timely at one point, and whether he had any other purpose. But even if every movement of the Arthur before had a kind of hypocritical gentleman att.i.tude that Pei Lie disliked, but the other aspects can still be regarded as normal. But at this moment, he was like a poisonous snake flicking it’s tongue out, making people feel cold to the core.
As a hitman, Pei Lie has an outstanding memory, and his awareness to other people has always been very accurate. He can even clearly remember the clothes of the stranger he had brushed past with a couple of days ago, the habitual gestures of the servers in the restaurants they ordered from, and the subtle actions of the hotel’s front desk who helped them check-in……
So that’s the reason why, Pei Lie could tell that there was something off with the other side with great certainty at this moment.
Even though there was no changes in Arthur’s face. But it was as if he had become a different person, that even his temperament was completely different. That strong sense of contradiction made his entire being produce a strange feeling. Arthur smiled towards the little koi once more, and spoke in a gentle tone of voice: “Tong Tong, have you forgotten me again?”
