At a height of 7 or 8 meters, it can barely be considered a high vantage point.
Gao Jianfei leaned against a protruding rock, drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and observed.
A dozen or so thugs were scattered about twenty meters apart, searching behind some bushes and piles of rocks.
A cold, sharp smile appeared on Gao Jianfei's lips. His first target was... the butcher's knife!
Previously, within the Feilong Villa area, a butcher wielding a grenade and issuing orders!
Gao Jianfei knew that this guy was the leader of this group of thugs!
Gao Jianfei drew the bowstring to its fullest extent.
At that moment, Butcher Knife kicked a rock away, cursing, "...Where did they hide?" Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine! These mercenaries, who danced on the edge of a knife every day, had an almost animalistic instinct for danger!
"What's going on?" Tu Dao instinctively raised his arms, his two pistols aimed at any possible hiding place around him as he moved.
"call out!"
A long arrow ripped through the tranquil night sky, hurtling towards the butcher's knife with lightning speed!
That unparalleled killing intent and oppressive aura instantly covered the butcher's knife! However, as expected of an experienced mercenary, just as the long arrow was about to pierce his throat, his body instinctively shifted to the side.
"Thud!" The long arrow, carrying terrifying force, pierced through Tu Dao's shoulder blade and dragged his body backward for 3 meters, pinning his entire body to a tree behind him!
"No!" Butcher cried out, "That terrible archer! It's that..."
"Pfft!" The second arrow had already shot over. This time, Butcher's Blade had no way to dodge. His throat was easily pierced and he was pinned to a tree, making him look like a ridiculous specimen.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Immediately following, three arrows pierced the hearts of the three thugs guarding the van! Their bodies curled up on the ground like shrimp, their nerves twitching reflexively.
"No! It's that archer! God!" The mercenaries completely broke down! They screamed at the top of their lungs.
Chapter 158 Child, I am your mother!
Chapter 158 Child, I am your mother!
During the Liangshan Marsh period of the Song Dynasty, if Hua Rong occupied a high ground as an iron archer, while he wouldn't be considered an impregnable fortress, he could certainly shoot down dozens or even hundreds of enemy soldiers! Now, Gao Jianfei's situation is equivalent to that of an archer in Hua Rong's army of ten thousand.
In the darkness, Gao Jianfei hid atop a small hill and fired several arrows, pinning the leader of the Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group, "Butcher's Knife," to a tree. Then, with lightning speed, he shot three enemy guards protecting the van through the heart. When Gao Jianfei drew his bow, the situation was akin to Hua Rong possessing him!
In contrast, the remaining mercenaries, who had only narrowly escaped death at Gao Jianfei's hands last time, were filled with terror and despair at the mere mention of "sharp archer." They had absolutely no courage or determination to resist. With the executioner's blade falling, the remaining mercenaries fired a few shots indiscriminately before being quickly sent to their deaths by Gao Jianfei.
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Every arrow pierced the enemy's throat without the slightest deviation.
This kind of archery skill is truly like the Grim Reaper's scythe!
Gao Jianfei's hands were very steady. After shooting and killing 16 mercenaries in succession, he put down his bow and arrows and waited in place for a full five minutes to make sure there were no problems before returning to Ghost Den and putting away the iron bow and arrows.
After leaving the ghost den, Gao Jianfei jogged down the mountain and ran towards the three vans.
Gao Jianfei smashed open the doors of the two vans where the hostages were being held.
"Jianfei!" Moonlight streamed into the two vans, and Chen Xian saw Gao Jianfei's calm and collected face under the moonlight. She rushed out without hesitation and hugged Gao Jianfei tightly!
Feilong shouted, "Xiaoxian! Be careful!"
While holding Chen Xian's slender waist, Gao Jianfei smiled at Feilong and Feilong's mother, "Alright, it's alright now. We're safe. However, we need to leave here quickly, lest something unexpected happens."
"Huh?" Inside the van, Feilong and the others were stunned. In fact, when Gao Jianfei disappeared into the van, Feilong and the other hostages didn't know the specifics. They only saw the criminals turn off all the engines, stop the van, rush out, lock the doors, and search the surroundings. Then, Feilong and the others heard desperate screams and gunshots. Then, everything returned to calm. Then… Gao Jianfei opened the car door and let them out.
They had no idea what had happened during that time and were completely bewildered.
"Alright, everyone come out and get some fresh air," Gao Jianfei said loudly while holding Chen Xian.
Feilong, a man of the world, was the first to climb out of the car, instinctively scanning his surroundings. Instantly, his gaze froze, and he stood motionless! His thoughts almost ceased to function!
He saw corpses all over the ground!
They were all the bodies of the thugs!
"What...what...what exactly happened?" A full 30 seconds passed before Feilong turned to look at Gao Jianfei, his voice hoarse and trembling, filled with utter disbelief.
Gao Jianfei shrugged and said, "I don't know either. I just heard gunshots and screams. Then the thugs didn't return to the van. It was unusually quiet all around. So, I mustered up my courage, opened the window, and jumped out. When I looked down, I saw corpses all over the ground." After a pause, Gao Jianfei added, "None of that matters anymore. What matters is that we were saved."
Afterwards, Feilong's wife, Tang Wenjun, and Sister Bi all got out of the car one after another. Feilong's mother and Xiaotang were not suited to witness this hellish scene, so they remained in the car.
Tang Wenjun was also shocked!
His pupils were truly constricted to pinpoints!
Moreover, a chill began to emanate from the soles of his feet, making him feel as if he were placed in an ice cellar!
He glanced at Gao Jianfei, then examined the corpses scattered on the ground. Then, he began to walk, completely bewildered, towards the bodies. He discovered that every single one of them had either had their throat pierced by an arrow, or their heart pierced directly. The killer had used a bow and arrow! And their archery skills were divine, never missing a shot!
"Again...again...it's the archer again...What on earth is going on?" Tang Wenjun turned back to look at Gao Jianfei again. He really couldn't stay calm... "Could it be...could it be him...How is that possible?"
Previously, Tang Wenjun had hinted to Tu Dao that Gao Jianfei was a dangerous individual. Therefore, Tu Dao specifically assigned five members of his mercenary group to ride in the same car as Gao Jianfei. Those five members were armed to the teeth, specifically to keep Gao Jianfei under constant surveillance. If, under these circumstances, Gao Jianfei still managed to escape from the car and then use a bow and arrow to kill Tu Dao's mercenary group, along with the 16 elite members under their leader, would he still be considered human?
That's absolutely impossible!
Besides, ever since Tang Wenjun met Gao Jianfei at Feilong Villa, he has been observing Gao Jianfei. Where would he possibly hide a bow and arrow?
After various analyses, Tang Wenjun concluded that the person who wiped out the Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group was someone else, not Gao Jianfei! He subconsciously looked around.
The night was dark and the wind was high; not a single ghost could be seen.
A feeling of fear welled up in Tang Wenjun's subconscious. He immediately ran towards Gao Jianfei.
At this moment, Feilong's wife and Feilong held hands and embraced tightly, both enjoying the relief of surviving a close call. Of course, Feilong didn't think the danger was over. He said directly, "Let's get in the car and drive home."
Everyone nodded and got into their cars.
Feilong, Tang Wenjun, and Feilong's wife, three people who knew how to drive, drove three vans back.
Gao Jianfei, Chen Xian, Sister Bi, and Feilong's wife rode in one car.
At this moment, Sister Bi sat opposite Gao Jianfei, her gaze never leaving his face. She just stared at him intently, without saying a word.
As she continued to stare, Chen Xian grew increasingly displeased. She thought to herself, "Why is this young woman staring so intently at my Jianfei? Moreover, her gaze contains a strong emotional element, and complex feelings that Chen Xian, at her age, cannot comprehend!"
Of course, no matter what, there was definitely "emotion" in Sister Bi's gaze towards Gao Jianfei. Although it was hard to pinpoint the specific nature of this "emotion," it was "deeply felt."
Gao Jianfei himself began to feel a little awkward. After all, everyone was in the same car, and no matter how carefree Gao Jianfei was, he couldn't help but notice the strange look the young woman was giving him.
"Oh, ma'am, I told you, don't worry, we'll be fine." Gao Jianfei could only give Sister Bi an awkward smile. Although Gao Jianfei subconsciously had a strange fondness for Sister Bi, as a young man, he wasn't quite comfortable with the blatant gaze of a young married woman.
"What...what's your name?" Sister Bi finally asked in a trembling voice.
Before Gao Jianfei could answer, Feilong's wife, who was driving, suddenly stopped, swerved the steering wheel, and the van lost its balance and wobbled. However, she quickly regained her focus and continued driving. She said, "Sister Bi, this really frightened you. It was terrifying. I've never encountered anything like this before." Clearly, she was deliberately interrupting Sister Bi's questioning of Gao Jianfei.
Bi Jie almost ignored Fei Long's sister-in-law's interruption. She stared straight at Gao Jianfei, as if her soul had been taken away, and murmured, "Child, what...what's your name?"
At this point, Chen Xian finally couldn't hold back any longer, "What's it to you?"
Flying Dragon Villa.
Only after the mercenaries took the hostages and left did the terrified guests regain their senses.
Some guests rushed out of the villa, wanting to get home immediately; others, having seen a bit of life and possessing some ability to handle emergencies, started calling the police and ambulances.
Tang Bao pulled out his phone and screamed hysterically, "Ah Guang, get all the brothers together right now and block off all the intersections near Fengming Mountain Community! Block them off! There's one 'Oukeya' bakery van and three black Audi A8s! Hurry! Get all the brothers together!"
Meanwhile, city and provincial leaders also started making phone calls. They were calling the Provincial Public Security Bureau directly!
"Terrorists! Terrorists have appeared in Huashi! Please set up a special task force immediately! The location is the Fengmingshan upscale residential villa community in Huashi! Yes, they are terrorists, they have guns and grenades, and they have taken a large number of hostages and fled! Please set up a special task force as soon as possible!" Huashi Mayor Feng He said in a trembling voice into the phone.
"Alright, Xiaoxian, stop arguing with this lady. Be polite." Gao Jianfei stopped Chen Xian from continuing to vent her anger on Sister Bi. Then he turned to Sister Bi and smiled, "Madam, my name is 'Gao Jianfei'."
"Gao...Gao Jianfei..." Sister Bi said, distraught. "You, you really are surnamed Gao...Where's your father? Where is he now? Is he still alive?" At this point, Sister Bi became somewhat hysterical! She frantically rushed towards Gao Jianfei, trying to hug him. Large tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Madam, calm down! Please calm down!" Gao Jianfei was startled and shouted loudly while dodging Sister Bi's crazy actions.
Chen Xian was both shocked and furious; she had already categorized this young woman as mentally ill. She pulled Bi Jie back for Gao Jianfei, asking, "Are you crazy?"
Sister Bi had completely lost her temper. She yelled, "Child, you're 22 years old! Your birthday is the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, isn't it?"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei was surprised as he dodged Bi Jie's reckless hugs and grabs... It was indeed his birthday on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and he was 22 years old.
"Sister Bi, calm down! Calm down!" At this moment, Feilong's wife had already driven the van back to Feilong's villa. She quickly turned off the engine, jumped out of the driver's seat, opened the back door, and comforted Sister Bi.
The condition of this car is absolutely a complete mess!
"Son! My son!" Suddenly, Sister Bi screamed, "I am your biological mother!"
Upon hearing these words, Gao Jianfei stopped what he was doing... He was stunned.
Chen Xian was completely stunned.
Feilong's wife was stunned.
Bi Jie let out a shout and then fainted. Her body slumped and she fell limply into Gao Jianfei's arms.
In that instant, for some reason, when Gao Jianfei held Sister Bi in his arms, he felt an extremely warm feeling that warmed even his soul!
Chapter 159 This is absolutely outrageous!
Chapter 159 This is really too much!
Sister Bi said something that made Gao Jianfei instantly turn into a clay sculpture... "Child, I am your biological mother!" After saying that, she fainted and collapsed into Gao Jianfei's arms.
At this moment, Gao Jianfei held the young woman in his arms, inhaling the fleshy fragrance emanating from her body. This fragrance was mixed with a faint, jasmine-like scent, which was quite intoxicating. Holding this unfamiliar woman, whose face and eyes were etched with fine wrinkles from tears, Gao Jianfei felt a sense of peace! He even wanted to hold her like this forever!
This is really very strange!
Gao Jianfei was horrified… “No way? Could it be that I’ve fallen for a woman at least twice my age? How is that possible? And she seems to have mental issues! Just now, she said she was my mother! What a ridiculous joke! My mother is just an ordinary, simple woman, frugal her whole life, and has never worn gold and silver like this young woman. She’s currently lying in a hospital bed, and we don’t know when she’ll wake up! This woman in front of me claims to be my mother… This, this is an insult to my mother!”
Thinking of his poor, vegetative mother, Gao Jianfei's tenderness towards the young woman in his arms gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of dislike!
Regardless of whether the other party meant it or not, Gao Jianfei would not allow anyone to make fun of his poor, vegetative mother!
Immediately, Gao Jianfei scooped Bi Jie out of the van. Chen Xian followed closely behind and whispered in Gao Jianfei's ear, "Jianfei, this woman seems to have been frightened! Her behavior is crazy, and she's talking strangely."
Gao Jianfei and Chen Xian, the young couple, both concluded that... Sister Bi had been scared out of her wits by the armed robber from earlier!
At this moment, Feilong's wife was also behind Gao Jianfei. When she saw Sister Bi faint, she disregarded her own concerns and took a big step forward, shouting, "Jianfei, what happened to Sister Bi? Let me see! Let me see quickly!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's alright." Gao Jianfei held Bi Jie in his arms while taking her pulse. "This lady's pulse is slightly irregular, perhaps due to anger, surprise, excitement, or fear, leading to insufficient blood supply and a temporary fainting. She'll be fine in a while, and may not even need any medicine."
"Uh?" Feilong's wife paused for a moment, seeing Gao Jianfei's fingers methodically placed on Bi Jie's wrist pulse, his tone also very professional, just like an old Chinese medicine doctor.
