King of Assassins-Chapter 739 - 548: Because of Love

Su Rong had never seen the fierce man in front of her, but she had seen his photo and knew that he was the fugitive Zhang Long.

The Dragon Tiger Society was able to dominate Anyang District largely due to Zhang Long's formidable methods. It was said that this guy had killed several people in his early years and was notorious in the underworld.

However, to Su Rong, these kinds of fierce thugs were nothing more than brave fools. No matter how well they could fight or kill, they were no match under the Iron Fist organization.

Although Zhang Long ran away, Su Rong didn't care. She didn't believe Zhang Long could find her.

Unexpectedly, she was blocked by Zhang Long at a porridge shop beside the middle school's gate.

The key point was that Zhang Long had a gun in his hand, and seeing his eyes filled with murderous intent, Su Rong was truly frightened.

At this moment, no amount of power, wealth, beauty, or figure was of any use.

Su Rong had only one thought in her mind: this time, it's over...

Looking at Su Rong, who was pale with fear, Zhang Long felt a rush of pleasure. He had risked his life for half his life to form this small gang and finally live a good life.

As a result, just because of a word from this damn woman, the Dragon Tiger Society was raided. He also became a wanted criminal.

If he were twenty years younger, Zhang Long would have the confidence to start anew. But at his age now, he had no chance to do it again.

The times are different now. With surveillance cameras everywhere, even if he managed to escape, where would he run?

Zhang Long was filled with anger and was determined to kill Su Rong to vent his resentment.

As for how he knew Su Rong was the mastermind, it was all Su Yu who told him. It was also Su Yu who tipped him off in advance, allowing him to escape.

After Zhang Long ran away, he had been lurking around the Sixth Middle School where Gao Xuan worked.

Because Su Yu had said that Su Rong might come to see Gao Xuan. The Su Family was heavily guarded, and where Su Rong worked was full of security. He had no chance to get close.

Zhang Long just kept squatting outside the gate, and in the end, he did wait for her.

When he saw the luxurious Toyota Alphard drive over, Zhang Long knew Su Rong had arrived.

Although An Province is a big city, there were not many Alphards. The Sixth Middle School was just an ordinary school, and children from truly wealthy and powerful families would not study here.

Zhang Long observed a little and confirmed that it was indeed Su Rong. He was particularly excited; killing this woman would be worth dying for!

As it happened, the woman didn't have bodyguards with her. Zhang Long quickly entered the porridge shop and happened to block Su Rong there.

Zhang Long didn't hurry to shoot Su Rong; he just wanted to enjoy the look of her being panic-stricken.

Zhang Long knew he had no time to torture her and could only shoot to kill. Thinking of Su Rong's pretty face exploding, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, a bowl of hot porridge splashed onto Zhang Long's face.

This shop used clay pots to make porridge, and the hot porridge was very high in temperature. Although Zhang Long closed his eyes, he still screamed in pain from the burn.

Despite the unbearable pain, Zhang Long, being a fierce thug who dared to fight and kill, instinctively wanted to fire the gun.

At this point, it didn't matter how many people he might hit; as long as he could kill Su Rong, that was enough. As for others, Zhang Long couldn't care less.

Gao Xuan suddenly sprang out and parried Zhang Long's gun-holding elbow with his right arm.

Even though he had lost all extraordinary power, Gao Xuan's awareness, reaction, judgment, and skill were at the pinnacle of human ability.

Even the most excellent warrior wouldn't stand a chance against him. Let alone someone like Zhang Long.

Zhang Long was over forty. Although he was experienced in fights, when it came to close combat, he was just an amateur. His reactions had slowed with age.

With his face covered in hot porridge, he couldn't even see. The direction of the gun in his hand had long shifted.

Gao Xuan pushed upwards on Zhang Long's gun-holding elbow. This was a human joint, no matter how Zhang Long adjusted, it was useless.

With Gao Xuan's push, the arm uncontrollably jerked up.

Gao Xuan followed up with his right fist, delivering a savage uppercut right to Zhang Long's chin.

Because Zhao Hu had come looking for trouble the day before, Gao Xuan had specially bought a two-finger brass knuckle for self-defense.

This brass knuckle was very small and looked like a keychain. The middle and index fingers could fit into the grooves, with a 7 cm curved protrusion in the front.

This protrusion was only about 1.5 cm, but the metal provided enough hardness.

The hardness of this brass knuckle was incomparable even for professional boxers. No matter how much a human fist was trained, without the support of extraordinary power, it was no match for metal.

Although Gao Xuan wasn't specially trained in power, his body was far sturdier than an ordinary young man. With his power originating from his feet and flowing through his legs, waist, arm, and hand, all his strength was concentrated at his fist's point.

With one punch, Zhang Long's jawbone shattered. The forceful impact caused his head to fling violently backward.

Blood and teeth fragments flew from Zhang Long's mouth in an arc. The fierce impact made Zhang Long lose all consciousness instantly, collapsing straight to the ground.

In this posture, his back of the head naturally hit the ground first. Even in unconsciousness, Zhang Long's body twitched.

Su Rong stared blankly at Zhang Long on the ground, her mind still a mess, unable to react normally.

The other diners were even more frightened, suddenly turning the scene into chaos, scaring everyone dumb.

Gao Xuan walked over, took the gun from Zhang Long, and turned to see Su Rong still in a daze, finding her blank expression quite amusing.

So, he took out his phone and snapped a picture of Su Rong.

At this moment, Su Rong finally reacted, "What are you doing?"

"Calling the police."

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Better if you report it to the police."

Su Rong suddenly came to her senses, "That's right, call the police, call immediately."

Su Rong, still shaken, stared at Zhang Long on the ground while taking out her phone to make a call.

Xu Jun, who had been staying in the nanny van, also realized something was wrong and hurried in. When he saw Zhang Long lying on the ground, unconscious with a bloodied face, he was taken aback for a moment.

Su Rong was now completely calm. She made the call while nodding at Xu Jun, signaling him to watch over Zhang Long.

Xu Jun also displayed some professionalism. He squatted down to check Zhang Long's body, removed a short blade stuck in Zhang Long's waist, and then checked his breathing and heartbeat.

Confirming Zhang Long wasn't dead, Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. If they had actually killed someone, it would have been a bigger problem.

Xu Jun glanced at Zhang Long's jaw, which was a bloody mess and obviously deformed, not just shattered but likely with the entire lower row of teeth broken.

This punch was really ruthless, and it seemed quite professional.

Ordinary people wouldn't usually go for the jaw in a fight.

Xu Jun stood up and glanced at Gao Xuan, noticing he had a gun in one hand and a small brass knuckle on the other.

He was astonished; this gun must be Zhang Long's! To face Zhang Long, who had a gun, and still dare to act, and to take him down in one hit. This PE teacher is no simple man!

If it were him, he might not have had the courage to do so.

After making the call, Su Rong looked deeply at Gao Xuan: "Thank you for saving my life."

Now fully calm, Su Rong still felt a bit scared. She was just inches away from being killed.

The fear of facing death truly terrified her. Without Gao Xuan, she would have been doomed this time.

Facing a vicious armed thug, Gao Xuan actually dared to take the initiative, which surprised Su Rong. Moreover, Gao Xuan resolved Zhang Long in one blow.

Gao Xuan was not only brave but also decisive, with a strong ability to act.

Moreover, Zhang Long only targeted her. Gao Xuan dared to stand up, this is definitely true love!

Experiencing a life-and-death crisis, on the contrary, let her see these precious qualities in Gao Xuan.

To be honest, Su Rong was very touched. For the first time ever, she clearly realized someone's feelings for her.

Yet, since childhood, she wasn't used to expressing real emotions. Despite the strong emotions, she didn't know how to express them in this setting and didn't want to express them so directly.

Gao Xuan naturally said, "It's what I should have done."

Su Rong shook her head: "To face a gun and risk saving someone, this is truly heroic."

"For love, young people always go all out." Gao Xuan grinned at Su Rong, smiling brightly and cheerfully.

Even though Gao Xuan seemed to be joking, Su Rong felt a wave of emotion.

It's always easy to say things. Lunging out at a gunpoint, Su Rong felt she couldn't do it, not for anyone.

Gao Xuan might say it lightly, but Su Rong couldn't. She earnestly said, "From today on, you are the hero in my heart!"

Gao Xuan considered it and said, "You have always been the beauty in my heart."

Su Rong couldn't help but laugh, she had to admit, Gao Xuan's words were very clever and amusing.

Law enforcement arrived quickly; within five minutes, a carload of officers was there.

Seeing the situation at the scene, the officers were taken aback.

Not to mention Su Rong's special status, even an ordinary person in the city center being gunned down would be a major case.

Fortunately, fortunately, Su Rong was unharmed, and fortunately, no personnel were injured.

The group took Zhang Long away, and Su Rong and Gao Xuan were also brought to the bureau to give statements. The nature of the case was very heinous, and it had to be thoroughly investigated.

Luckily, the porridge shop had surveillance cameras that captured the whole process.

The entire matter was very clear: Zhang Long harbored resentment and wanted to retaliate against Su Rong, but Gao Xuan stopped him on the spot.

The deputy chief of the law enforcement bureau personally accompanied Su Rong, explaining the case to her and even showed her the video from the scene.

The deputy chief remarked, "This young man is really brave, acted without hesitation, and he's very skilled too."

Having been in the law enforcement system for so many years, he had seen many experts. But regarding this incident, Gao Xuan handled it perfectly.

To make a decision so abruptly during the incident and utilize various favorable conditions to take down a thug, it's almost like a movie scene.

The deputy chief had to admit that Gao Xuan's calmness, decisiveness, and agility were top-notch.

Moreover, with the case being so heinous, it's fortunate that Gao Xuan saved the day. The deputy chief had to commend Gao Xuan strongly.

Watching the video, Su Rong couldn't help but think: "A man with such a sense of security is worth entrusting for life..."
