Mo Lengxuan took out his phone, probably to call his subordinates. He then fixed a cold stare on the school doctor and Ning Shu that seemed to say, You two are finished.
The glare of a crime syndicate boss was not to be underestimated. At least, Ning Shu felt weak at the knees under that gaze. She noticed the school doctor still hugging Ling Xue's neck, refusing to let go.
"Uncle, what do we do now?" Ning Shu asked. "We should run. We won't be able to escape once they get here."
The school doctor nodded and was about to drag Ling Xue away when Mo Lengxuan caught up with him, grabbing hold of Ling Xue. The two men started pulling at her as if they were in a tug-of-war, causing the knife the school doctor was pressing against her back to dig deeper.
Ning Shu watched in wide-eyed horror as blood poured onto the ground. Seeing Ling Xue's pale face, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Soon, the sound of horns echoed behind them—it was probably Mo Lengxuan's men. She hastily grabbed the school doctor. "Uncle, we have to leave now! His people are here!"
Reluctantly, the school doctor released Ling Xue and quickly pulled out his gun, shooting her before seizing Ning Shu and running.
Ning Shu turned back to glance at Ling Xue, who looked completely dumbfounded. She had been stabbed, and now she had been shot.
Ning Shu turned back to the school doctor and gasped for breath. "Uncle, didn't you say you needed her? Why did you shoot her?"
He had fired without hesitation. Did he really have feelings for the female lead? She inwardly lit a funeral candle for Ling Xue.
"Freeze! You better freeze right now…"
"This is your last warning!"
The shouts of Mo Lengxuan's subordinates echoed behind them, interspersed with gunfire.
Ning Shu and the school doctor ran to the street halfway up the mountain, but no cars were passing by. The sounds behind them were drawing closer.
The school doctor shattered a parked car's window with his gun, then began unlocking the vehicle while Ning Shu watched, still stunned.
Didn't these kinds of scenes only happen in movies? Uncle, are you sure you know what you're doing?
"Uncle, hurry! They're almost on us! Hurry!"
"You do it then…" the school doctor replied breezily.
As if I know how to!
The gunshots grew louder. Ning Shu hastily jumped into the car. When she saw the school doctor bent over, taking his time with the locks, she felt her patience waning.
But at the crucial moment, he managed to start the car and drove away. Ning Shu turned around to see Mo Lengxuan's men watching helplessly as they sped off.
Her face lit up with glee. This is seriously too exciting! Her heart was still pounding.
Next to her, the school doctor wore an unhappy expression. When he saw Ning Shu looking at him, he scoffed, "If it weren't for you, I would have already gotten away with Ling Xue. You're such a pig teammate."
Ning Shu: …
Was there any sense of camaraderie at all? Regardless, they had made it through a tough situation together.
"Uncle, you know how to defuse a bomb, steal a car—what else do you know?" Ning Shu asked. The school doctor seemed like a genius of all trades. If she had skills like that, completing future tasks would be a lot easier.
The school doctor rolled his eyes at her. "These are the most basic of basics. Forget it. A pig teammate like you will never understand."
Did he have to keep calling her a 'pig teammate'?
Ning Shu glanced at the school doctor's profile and asked, "Why did you shoot Ling Xue? Didn't you say you needed her?"
"Can you stop asking stupid questions? By injuring her, it disrupts that man's judgment. Didn't you see he didn't chase after us? As for these henchmen of his, they're just trash."
The school doctor spoke as if it were obvious.
Ning Shu: Pfff…
