An Qi stared blankly at the scene, completely dumbfounded; it completely overturned her understanding.
She clearly saw Lin Yifan get shot, yet why was he unharmed and still so vigorous?
"Damn it, could this be a vengeful spirit from this world?"
She was very frightened and dared not approach Lin Yifan.
On the other side, although one man in black was subdued, the one who had been knocked down had stood up and had even picked up a handgun from the ground.
He pointed the gun at Lin Yifan, demanding that Lin Yifan release his brother.
Yet Lin Yifan was also holding a gun pointed at his brother, ordering him to put down the gun.
Now it all depended on how deep the bond was between the two men in black.
The man in black, who was at a standoff with Lin Yifan, eventually abandoned his own brother to complete the mission alone, thus saying, "Brother! I'm sorry!"
The moment these words were spoken, the heart of the man in black controlled by Lin Yifan turned cold, filled with immense anger.
He had just tried to save the other, but now, not only was he not repaid with gratitude, he was also being put in a deadly situation; such a ruthless and ungrateful brother, he truly had made a terrible mistake.
"Damn it!"
Lin Yifan couldn't help but curse under his breath. As soon as he heard the word "sorry," he felt that something was amiss; the man confronting him was willing to disregard his brother's life, even putting him in mortal peril.
Thus, in a moment of danger, he could only dodge, so he immediately rolled to the side, moving a distance away.
As soon as he had moved, the man in black fired his gun.
"Bang!"
Fortunately, he had moved a few seconds earlier, or he would have been shot again.
After stabilizing himself, he fired his handgun with one hand from a kneeling position, aiming at the right hand of the man with the gun, making it impossible for him to hold the pistol.
"Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, a bloody hole appeared in the man in black's right hand.
Lin Yifan's marksmanship was extremely precise, hitting the target with a single shot; the accuracy was a result of his extensive battlefield experience.
Shot in the wrist, the man with the gun felt his right hand lose control and he could no longer grip the pistol.
The dark-colored pistol fell to the ground, becoming ownerless.
Seizing the perfect opportunity, Lin Yifan immediately rushed forward, kicked the black pistol away, and then knocked down the man in black who had been shot.
With this, he had taken control of the situation.
Next, he stripped off the man in black's clothes, tied his hands, and then called An Qi to report to the police.
An Qi stood there, motionless, completely stunned by Lin Yifan's bravery and his ability to adapt to emergencies.
"Told you to call the police, did you understand?" Lin Yifan asked impatiently.
If it weren't for his conscience, he really wouldn't want to deal with this delusional woman.
"Ah? Call the police? I'll do it now! I'll do it now!"
Having come to her senses, An Qi frantically searched for her purse.
After finding her purse that had fallen to the ground, she immediately took out her cellphone and called the police.
After watching her report to the police, Lin Yifan casually hooked his jacket with one hand, pocketed his hands, and stylishly walked towards the parking lot exit, not seeking any reward.
Touched by such self-sacrifice and altruism, An Qi felt a warm surge within her, bringing tears to her eyes: "Sir! Where are you going?"
"Going home. Where else can I go?" Lin Yifan rolled his eyes and replied impatiently, not knowing why she would ask such a foolish question.
"Can you wait a moment before leaving?" An Qi asked.
"Why?"
"Because I'm scared!"
"What are you scared of? Their hands are tied by me."
"But they still have their legs!" An Qi voiced her fears.
As a weak woman, she really couldn't handle two strong men, and her biggest fear was that once Lin Yifan left, the two men in black would break free and take control of her again; then, she would have no one to turn to.
"Can't you handle someone whose hands are tied?" Lin Yifan was truly speechless.
"I'm just a weak woman, how do you expect me to fight?" An Qi felt utterly wronged, on the verge of tears.
"And you were so arrogant just now?" Lin Yifan challenged.
He had thought she was capable, but outside, she was just a helpless woman.
"I didn't mean to do it at the pool earlier."
Bringing up the incident, An Qi suddenly felt a bit guilty and dared not look at Lin Yifan.
"Not intentional? Do you know how badly you hurt me just now, losing a job that paid well?" Lin Yifan exploded in anger.
If the topic hadn't come up, it would have been alright, but mentioning it made him explode with anger; it was too frustrating to lose a good job for no reason.
"It's just a job. What's the big deal?"
An Qi pouted, a look of grievance on her face as she retorted.
"For someone like you, a top executive of a large company, it indeed might not matter; but for someone like me, who scrapes by at the bottom, it's a huge deal; so don't judge my situation with your high and mighty attitude, OK? You might not find it disgusting, but it damn well disgusts me!" Lin Yifan furiously accused.
If it were not for the fact that she was a weak woman, he would have slapped her by now.
"Alright, alright! Since you're so angry, then I'll pay out of my own pocket to hire you as my bodyguard, how about that?" An Qi asked.
This was a win-win solution, both appeasing Lin Yifan's anger and recruiting a capable bodyguard to ensure her safety.
However, Lin Yifan was not persuaded by this.
"To be your bodyguard? I spit! I'd rather die than be the bodyguard of a shrew like you."
