My Cold and Ruthless CEO Wife-Chapter 28: Assassination(2): Conquest of Guns
Long Tian looked at the middle-aged man, who was fear-stricken.
"I will ask for the last time, who sent you?" Long Tian’s massive killing intent crashed down on him, making it impossible for him to think clearly.
How many people had been killed to have such killing intent? The middle-aged man thought in fear.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth to speak.
Long Tian’s eyes suddenly contracted as he dodged to the side.
On a distant hill deep within the forest, a man lay prone on the ground with a Barrett M82 sniper rifle in his hands.
Through the scope, the sniper locked onto Long Tian and pulled the trigger.
Long Tian, who sensed it, immediately dodged the sniper bullet. The bullet scraped across the road, sending sparks flying.
Long Tian became alert. There was a sniper in the forest.
He sensed the disturbance in the air and knew the sniper had fired again.
He dodged again, grabbing the middle-aged man and dragging him toward the burnt car for cover.
The sniper saw this and tried to shoot him down before he took cover, but Long Tian dodged everything as if he knew the direction the bullet was coming from.
The sniper frowned. This target wasn’t as easy as he had expected.
He saw that Long Tian had taken cover with the burnt car and knew his job had been done.
"Target had taken cover; move." He transmitted this information.
From behind the burnt car, Long Tian noticed that the sniper didn’t fire again.
He used his Mystic Dragon Eye, trying to find out the location of the sniper.
His Mystic Dragon Eye could scan up to 150 meters, and at maximum focus, nearly 200.
Within seconds, he located the sniper—but the man wasn’t alone.
He looked at the middle-aged man. The remaining flames from the burning car made the area extremely hot.
He had no problem, but the middle-aged man was sweating profusely, having a hard time breathing.
"It seems like you are in the same gang as the others." His chilly voice made the middle-aged man remember he was still in the hands of this devil.
He froze and opened his mouth in haste, "No..."
Long Tian was surprised by his reply, "What do you mean?"
"In the underworld, a bounty was placed for your head with the reward of $1 billion, sir. Due to this, the underground went into a frenzy, everyone wanting to claim your head and take the reward."
Long Tian was surprised by the words of the man. He never expected someone would put a bounty on his head with the reward of one billion dollars, not in yuan.
Such an amount to claim the head of the Fox King. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Who had he offended to put such money on his head?
He knows the person doesn’t know his identity as the fox king; he was just an ordinary man in the person’s eyes.
"Who put such a bounty on my head? " Long Tian asked.
"I have no idea, sir. People like us can’t know; only those at the top of the underground forces can know, sir. " The middle-aged man quickly replied.
He was amused by what was happening, letting out a chuckle. The man hearing this could see that Long Tian didn’t take his words seriously.
As if the underworld was nothing to him.
He wanted to ask another question, but he heard footsteps getting closer.
The next moment, the unknown men launched rapid fire.
This caught Long Tian slightly off guard; he hadn’t expected them to open fire so quickly.
And due to this, even though he was unharmed under their rapid fire, the middle-aged man wasn’t.
Long Tian’s eyes contracted as he watched the last breath leave the middle-aged man.
His eyes became cold, anger brewing as he released his killing intent.
He wasn’t angry about the man’s death, but because he had not extracted all the information he needed.
With his Mystic Dragon Eye, he saw that ten men surrounded the burnt car in a circle, and they seemed to be a group.
And he knew the fun was just starting.
After several seconds of rapid fire, the men finally stopped, as they expected Long Tian to be dead or on his last breath. No human would be able to survive under such rapid gunfire.
Their leader was a bald Chinese man with a deep scar across his cheek, his cold eyes scanning the scene like a predator. He waved his hands, and two men stepped forward and tried to check out the situation.
They both moved vigilantly with their guns in their hands until they reached the burnt car area.
The burnt car had holes all over its parts. They saw the dead body of the middle-aged man riddled with holes, but Long Tian was missing.
They looked around and couldn’t find him. They raised their gun, walking quietly.
Suddenly something rolled towards them; when they saw it, smoke burst out from it, clouding their vision.
It was a tactical smoke grenade.
The eight men were surprised when they saw smoke coming out. They immediately held their guns in their optimal position, their gaze forward.
Suddenly two piercing screams followed one another, breaking the chain of silence.
"Ma Chen, Jia Yi, can you hear me?" The leader tried communicating through their earpiece, but their reply was silence.
After seeing this, the leader roared out, "Open Fire!"
They began shooting rapidly with their guns. The sound of their muzzles roaring, bullets slammed into the burnt car and the surrounding metal.
After another round of open fire, they stopped.
This time, they believed there was no chance of Long Tian surviving.
But the sound of steady footsteps made them realize something was wrong.
The footsteps were steady and rhythmic. The sound filled them with an uneasy tension.
The smoke still covered the area, making it impossible for them to see who the owner of the footsteps was.
They aimed their guns at the smoke, ready to fire.
Long Tian stepped out of the smoke, his clothes riddled with holes, yet there was no scratch on his skin.
"Impossible!"
