Taoist Immortals Bless You

5 Shot!

Currently, the situation here is perilous. The two men in black are only slightly injured and can resume fighting after a brief rest. For He Yu's safety, he has to make the decision to retreat.

"No! If I leave, what will happen to them?" He Yu looks at the four fallen bodyguards and the severely injured woman, her heart filled with worry. They were all injured because of her, and she feels extremely guilty, so she won't abandon them.

"Those two men in black are mainly targeting you. They'll be fine," Chen San persuades her from beside.

After a quick observation, he finds that the four bodyguards and the woman can all move and are not dead. It was obvious that the two men in black were coming for He Yu. If He Yu leaves, the two men will naturally let the bodyguards and Li, the secretary, go. Because these five people cannot threaten He Yu into surrendering, what's the use of capturing them?

After hearing Chen San's words, He Yu thinks they are reasonable. Right now, there's nothing she can do here. It's better to go out and call the police for help.

After a moment of silence, He Yu responds, "Okay! Let's go!"

So, Chen San quickly helps He Yu up and grabs her hand, running towards the parking lot exit.

However, before they can take a few steps, they are stopped by a threatening shout: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll shoot you!"

At this moment, the second gangster is holding a handgun, standing on the driveway of the parking lot, pointing at Chen San and He Yu. His eyes are cold, showing no sign of joking.

Hearing this cold shout, Chen San immediately raises his hands to indicate surrender. He won't foolishly think that the other person doesn't have a gun or dare not to shoot and continue to run.

When it comes to matters that threaten life, he would rather believe they exist than not. Because life is precious and irreplaceable.

However, even if the other person has a gun, Chen San won't give up without a fight. The reason he raises his hands is, first, to lower the gangster's vigilance, and second, to gain time, observe the surroundings, and think of an escape plan.

Through brief observation, Chen San finds that there are several cars parked one meter to his right. If he quickly jumps into the alley between two cars, he can dodge the bullet. But He Yu might be in danger because she is on his left. If he jumps first, He Yu will reach the alley later than him. At this time, He Yu might be shot because bullets travel extremely fast, especially at such a short distance. It would take less than a second to hit her.

Therefore, if they are to act, he can't jump first; otherwise, He Yu will be in great danger.

However, the alley between the two cars can only accommodate one person, so the method of they both jumping together is not feasible. That leaves only one last option: Chen San quickly pulls He Yu over and forcefully pushes her into the alley, then jumps himself.

However, this will put him in great danger and might cost him his life.

"Is it worth it to risk my life for a stranger I don't even like?" Chen San keeps asking himself in his heart.

"Click! Click!"

The second gangster is moving, slowly approaching Chen San and He Yu. He wanted to catch He Yu again and shoot Chen San a few times to make him feel the pain. He doesn't dare to kill someone because once it's discovered, he will also be severely punished by the law. Even if he has backers, Murder is also punishable by heavy penalties. He hasn't lived enough and won't do such a foolish thing.

However, when it's absolutely necessary, even if there's great danger, he will kill someone.

The footsteps are getting closer, and He Yu is anxious. She doesn't want to be caught again, so she quietly asks Chen San beside her, "What should we do?"

Chen San is still struggling internally, unsure of what to do.

"Click! Click!"

The second gangster takes a few more steps closer, and the footsteps are getting clearer.

At this moment, He Yu is even more uneasy and anxious. Then, she moved the hand that Chen San was holding, trying to wake him up from his contemplation.

After a while, Chen San finally reacts.

At this moment, Chen San takes a deep breath and quietly says, "Wait a moment. I'll pull you over and push you into the alley between the two cars. You must cooperate with me and don't hesitate or resist; otherwise, we might both die here."

Chen San ultimately decides to sacrifice himself to save He Yu. He consoles himself: "Saving one life is better than building pagodas（proverb）. As a soldier, one must protect the country and the people without any selfish thoughts. Even if he's not a soldier now, he should still have the heart of a soldier."

After hearing Chen San's plan, He Yu clearly senses a flaw and anxiously asks, "What about you? What will you do?"

"Me? After you safely reach the alley between the two cars, I'll jump in too," Chen San replies, with a trace of sadness in his voice.

"No, this method is not feasible! I won't let you risk your life to save me," He Yu firmly objects.

If they execute this plan, she roughly knows what the consequences will be: Chen San might die, and she might not escape. Since that's the case, why should she execute this plan?

"This is the only way for you to have a chance of survival, so listen to me and do as I say," Chen San patiently persuades her.

"No way! I won't do it, no matter how much you persuade me," He Yu firmly refuses.

If someone has to sacrifice themselves to save her, even if she survives, she will feel extremely guilty.

"But, now, we have to do it!" After saying that, Chen San forcefully pulls He Yu over and then pushes her into the alley between the two cars.

Chen San is powerful, and He Yu can't resist. In less than two seconds, she is pushed into the alley between the two cars.

After pushing He Yu into the alley, Chen San quickly jumps over, intending to jump into the alley between the two cars before the gangster shoots.

However, two seconds are enough for the gangster to react. So, as he jumps, the gangster fires.

"Bang!"

A clear gunshot sounds, extremely loud in the quiet underground parking lot.

Hearing the gunshot, He Yu, crouching in the alley between the two cars, widens her eyes and stares at Chen San jumping towards her, wondering if he has been shot.

The gunshot rings out, and Chen San's clothes are quickly torn at the back, indicating that he has been shot!
