Han Wenzhao was stunned when he saw the situation. Clearly, they had a helicopter, so why were these two running?
Han Wenxi was also confused, but her intuition told her to follow these two.
Han Wenzhao had the same idea.
If the young man was indeed the person from the bounty mission, he definitely wasn’t just a pretty face.
Otherwise, those four big shots wouldn’t have offered a reward of one hundred thousand points for him.
Han Wenzhao looked at the other players. “There’s something suspicious about the helicopter. We’d better not expose ourselves to them right now.”
The other players frowned at his words, hesitating.
One player disagreed, “Why should we run?”
“We have guns and props. Once the helicopter lands, we can grab it and clear the instance.”
“Yeah,” the other players chimed in.
The path to clearing the instance was right in front of them, and the players didn’t want to give up.
Han Wenzhao frowned at the sight. “Those who want to grab it, go ahead. Those who want to follow me, come with me.”
The helicopter seduced most players and stayed behind.
Anyway, there was currently no way to clear the instance, so they might as well be bold.
Only a few individuals trusted their captain’s judgment and decided to follow Han Wenzhao.
The players instantly split into two groups, and no one noticed that when Ruan Qing and Jiang Shuyu ran off, the male player holding the game console on their team disappeared.
***
Ruan Qing and Jiang Shuyu ran straight back to the car, and Jiang Shuyu drove away from the airport.
However, halfway there, Ruan Qing felt something was wrong, even feeling a tingling sensation in his heart.
Ruan Qing’s slender fingers tightened, and he stiffly turned his head to look at the back seat of the car.
A man was sitting in the back seat, playing games with his head bowed.
The man had no presence, and there was no scent about him. Apart from the faint sound of him pressing the game buttons, he made no noise.
Even the sound of pressing the buttons was perfectly masked by the sound of the car engine. If Ruan Qing hadn’t realized something was wrong, he probably wouldn’t have noticed him at all.
Even after seeing the man, he still felt like he couldn’t sense his presence.
In the instant Ruan Qing turned his head back, his hand swiftly reached into the slanted messenger bag, intending to retrieve the gun that Xie Xuanlan had given him.
However, as soon as Ruan Qing’s hand went in, a knife was placed straight across his fair and slender neck.
Ruan Qing widened his eyes. His pupils contracted slightly, subconsciously tilting his head back, not daring to move a muscle.
The knife was extremely sharp, emitting a cold glint, as if it could cut Ruan Qing’s throat open in an instant.
Moreover, because Ruan Qing was being held captive, Jiang Shuyu panicked, causing the car to swerve uncontrollably. Ruan Qing’s figure also couldn’t help but lean forward slightly, directly touching the knife across his neck.
If the man hadn’t moved back a bit, Ruan Qing would probably have collided directly with the knife.
Although the knife didn’t cut his skin, the icy touch made Ruan Qing’s whole body tense up, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
The man chuckled lightly, “Miss, if you keep driving like this, he might die at your hands.”
The man was clearly not joking, scaring Jiang Shuyu into immediately stabilizing the car, not daring to let it sway even half a bit.
With the knife against his neck, Ruan Qing stiffened his body, not daring to move a muscle, only able to move his eyes.
Ruan Qing pursed his pale pink lips, glanced sideways at the man holding the knife out of the corner of his eye.
Ruan Qing had a slight impression of this person. The man was from the group of players just now, standing at the back of that group.
His attitude was casual and lazy, quite out of sync with that group of players.
The man saw Ruan Qing glance sideways at him, tilted his head, and revealed a delighted smile. “Hey, my precious four hundred thousand.”
The man obviously recognized him.
The implication of his words was clearly to capture him to complete the bounty mission.
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief at his words, meaning the man wouldn’t take his life.
But that was all.
Because the man only needed to keep him alive, no matter how severe the injuries, once they returned to the game’s main city area, he would recover, and the man could still deliver him intact to those four individuals.
After finishing speaking, the knife in the man’s hand approached a bit, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence. “Good, raise your hands. Don’t make any small movements.”
“I’m not that idiot Su Zhen. I won’t be merciful.”
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled lightly, slowly raising his hands.
Then he didn’t dare to move, looking pitiful.
However, the man was still somewhat dissatisfied, lifting his chin slightly to signal Ruan Qing to raise his hand to head height.
“Raise it higher.”
Ruan Qing stiffly raised his hand a bit higher, almost to ear level.
Jiang Shuyu was on the verge of tears, but she dared not even tilt the car slightly.
Because the knife was almost touching Ruan Qing’s skin, any slight tilt would cut him.
Seeing the young man obediently raise his hand, the man glanced at the young man’s profile, then at his slender, fair fingers.
Ruan Qing’s fingers were very attractive, perhaps because he had just exerted force. They were now pink in the sunlight, which made people can’t help but want to touch and feel them.
Without hesitation, the man reached out and pinched Ruan Qing’s fingers, but stopped abruptly as he touched them.
So soft...
Clearly, the young man’s knuckles were distinct, and he seemed to have little flesh, but they felt incredibly soft to the touch.
As if even the bones were soft.
He probably never did any heavy work.
After hesitating for a moment, the man pinched Ruan Qing’s fingers again, then slowly slid down to his palm, pinching again.
Because the man pinched quite forcefully, even more so as he continued, Ruan Qing’s hand became even redder.
And even more attractive.
Even though Ruan Qing felt a little pain from the man’s pinching, he could only keep a blank face, stiffly tilting his head back, silently enduring it all.
Because the knife was still at his neck.
After exerting some force, the man clearly saw the young man’s fair fingers curl slightly.
As if unable to bear it, or as if wanting to hold on to his fingers.
The man’s heart skipped a beat, and a certain emotion instantly arose in his heart, then spread throughout his body.
Looking at Ruan Qing with a strange expression, the man spoke, “No wonder those two fools, Su Zhen and Lu Rufeng, are willing to spend one hundred thousand points for you.”
After speaking, the man looked at Jiang Shuyu and smiled politely. “Miss, could you please stop the car?”
The man’s smile was very polite, but it carried a threat, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone.
If Jiang Shuyu didn’t do as he said, something that no one wanted to see would surely happen.
Jiang Shuyu bit her lip upon hearing this, and could only stiffly bring the car to a stop.
After Jiang Shuyu stopped the car, the man reached out to her. “Give me the car keys.”
Jiang Shuyu could only pull out the car keys and hand them to the man.
After receiving the car keys, the man withdrew the knife from Ruan Qing’s neck, opened the door, and got out of the car.
No, he didn’t get out of the car; he got out and opened the passenger door.
As soon as the man withdrew the knife, Ruan Qing quickly reached into his messenger bag and took out the gun, aiming it directly at the man who was opening the passenger door.
However, before Ruan Qing could fire the gun, it instantly disappeared from his hand.
And pressed against his own forehead was a gun, exactly the one he had just held in his hand.
Ruan Qing didn’t even have time to react. His beautiful eyes widened as he stared blankly at the man in front of him, who was pointing the gun at him.
wait so do they know that hes a player and not an npc?
