Ye Fan and Lu Menglan walked into the steakhouse and found a seat at the back.
Qiu He followed closely behind, sitting next to them and staring cautiously out of the window.
"Miss Lu, where did you get this recording?" Ye Fan looked around and asked in a low voice.
Lu Menglan shook his head, "Mr. Ye, you don't need to know how it came about. It won't do you any good. I just hope you can back up this recording to prevent it from being lost."
"Do you know what it means?" Ye Fan saw that she looked very nervous and knew the importance of this recording.
However, Ye Fan couldn't understand the island's Mandarin, and he just felt like a bunch of ducks were quacking.
"I'm not very proficient in the island's Mandarin. What the other person said had a regional accent, and I only understood a few words." Lu Menglan replied, "The meaning of these words is extraordinary!"
"tell me the story."
"Emperor, great cause, plan!" Lu Menglan took a deep breath, "Mr. Ye, you are from the Li Group. You should know that both of our companies actually cooperate with certain companies in the island country.
Originally, I just thought it was an ordinary business transaction. Even though some of the actions were illegal, they could bring a lot of benefits, so I didn't refuse.
However, this recording horrified me!
Those enterprises in the island country are not pure commercial enterprises, but have strong aggression!
I very much suspect that what these companies really want is to recreate the war model of the last century!"
"War?" Ye Fan frowned, "The island country shouldn't be stupid enough to launch an aggressive war, right?"
"Not necessarily. Mr. Ye, you have to know that sometimes there is no smoke in war!" Lu Menglan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said attentively: "Mr. Ye, do you know what I have experienced these days?"
"How could I possibly know?" Ye Fan smiled silently, "Won the prize?"
"You..." Lu Menglan opened her mouth, but Ye Fan's eyes widened in anger.
"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt, you say it, you say it." Ye Fan laughed and shut his mouth honestly.
Lu Menglan got this recording by chance, and in just three days, he went through eight assassinations. The confidants around him were either killed or died inexplicably.
She was worried and wanted to report to her father Lu Shengyang, but Lu Shengyang actually disappeared behind closed doors.
Yesterday morning, she received a strange text message with only one sentence, "Daughter, daddy is sorry for you!"
Lu Menglan knew that she was not going to die soon, so she immediately contacted Lin Wanqing.
The two met in secret. If they had not learned that Ye Ming was back, this matter might have involved Lin Wanqing.
"Have you been abandoned by Qingyun Group?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"good!"
Lu Menglan nodded, "Four of the assassinations I suffered during this period came from people around me! All the people I trusted have died. Apart from you and Mr. Lin, I can no longer trust anyone!"
"Ms. Lu, you are betting, do you know that?" Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, "If we were the partners of your recording partner, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to leave this steakhouse!"
"Of course I know!" Lu Menglan smiled decisively, "Mr. Ye, I have heard about you. You are full of hatred towards the island country."
"You misunderstood. What I can't understand are the imperialist island elements." Ye Fan spread his hands, "If they are friendly neighbors and friends, I will still welcome them."
"Well, that's enough." Lu Menglan whispered: "Mr. Ye, the most urgent task now is to translate this passage. I can't find anyone to do it now, so I can only turn to you for help."
"Can't you download a translation software?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes.
"I told you, this paragraph contains a very strong regional dialect. If the software can translate it, should I ask you for help?" Lu Menglan snorted displeased.
"That's right." Ye Fan laughed, "In that case, I have a friend who is proficient in the island's Mandarin. I'll ask him to translate it!"
"Lao Yuan, I have a recording here, please help me listen to it." Ye Fan motioned to Lu Menglan, inserted the earphones into his mobile phone, and placed it on the table.
Just three seconds into the recording, a red dot suddenly appeared behind Ye Fan.
Qiu He, who was sitting next to him, suddenly jumped up and kicked Ye Fan away.
The table overturned and the coffee spilled.
Ye Fan was startled, staggered and fell to the side.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the entire tempered glass wall shattered, and Ye Fan's ribs felt burning pain.
In this flash of lightning, the glass wall hit the ground, and broken glass shards flew up all over the sky, like a waterfall falling from the sky, splashing everywhere, hitting the body like being shot by a slingshot, and even hitting several people nearby.
A table rushes away.
He narrowly avoided the bullet, but before he felt lucky, he heard a scream.
"ah……"
Lu Menglan fell heavily to the ground, and a cluster of bright blood flowers burst out from her chest.
There is a killer!
Ye Fan was shocked and turned pale. When he looked at Lu Menglan, there was a bloody hole the size of a fist on her chest, and balls of blood foam came out of her mouth.
He quickly stepped forward and lifted Lu Menglan's neck, forcing himself to calm down.
"drink!"
Ye Fan let out a low drink, and a layer of gentle force emerged from his hand. He first touched Lu Menglan's wound to stop the bleeding, and then the force poured into her body to protect the damaged internal organs.
"Ms. Lu, hold on!" Ye Fan gasped deeply, turned to look at Qiu He, and shouted: "Call 120 first, then call the police!"
"Yes!" Qiu He quickly took out his mobile phone.
"Bang!"
Another shot hit the dining table next to Ye Fan into pieces.
"Damn, it's not an ordinary sniper rifle!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth, hid behind a beam, and said loudly to Lu Menglan: "Miss Lu, hold on, the ambulance will be here soon!"
"Ye Ming...it's useless..."
Lu Menglan had practiced martial arts and knew that Ye Fan was using his energy to help her die.
But her heart was pierced by a bullet, and even the Great Luo Immortal could not save her.
"Mr. Ye... I, the thing I regret most in my life is... I chose to cooperate with the islanders...
Those money wolves, those money wolves are trying to use... to use economic war to invade... to invade our country...
Mr. Ye, please...please protect...protect our coast and kill...kill all those island invaders..."
Lu Menglan vomited a large amount of blood foam, her eyes rolled upward and her breathing gradually weakened.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu!" Ye Fan was stunned.
Lu Menglan died in front of his eyes and was assassinated just like that!
He claims to be the world's top special forces soldier, but in the end he can't even protect a woman.
At this time, the steakhouse was already in chaos, with diners screaming and running outside.
"Chief Ye, we can't stay here anymore, leave quickly!" Qiu He rushed to Ye Fan's side and shouted loudly after making the call.
"Yeah." Ye Fan took a deep breath, turned over and jumped to the side door, and rushed out of the steakhouse with Qiu He following the panicked crowd.
His ribs scraped against the bullet, and the flesh opened, forming a bloody dent, causing burning pain.
The two rushed out of the steak shop, and Qiu He looked at a building opposite from a distance.
"At nine o'clock, on the seventeenth floor!"
"Go up!" Ye Fan shouted angrily in a deep voice.
The clerk had just recovered from his sluggish state and quickly called the police.
This is a small street with many pedestrians. In just a moment, a large number of people gathered outside the steak shop to watch the excitement.
Ye Fan and Qiu He looked at each other. Just as they were about to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and rush towards the building opposite, they were suddenly held back by two people.
When they turned around, they saw the steakhouse clerk stopping them.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment, the police will be here soon."
"Go away, didn't you see that I was injured? I will die if I don't rush to the hospital." Ye Fan covered the wound, with blood dripping from his fingers.
The two people squeezed away the onlookers and cursed: "It's not like your father and your mother were running naked in the street. What's there to see?"
An unconvinced person retorted: "I'm watching a dog fight! Why are you making such a fuss!"
He also stood out from the crowd, and saw that the man was wearing only a thin jacket even though it was winter. He had dark skin and bulging muscles. He looked like he was looking for trouble.
"I have something else to do and I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
But the man said that Ye Fan was afraid, and immediately gained the upper hand and refused to let others go. He grabbed Ye Fan's shoulders and shouted, "You want to leave after you cursed me? Let me teach you a lesson!"
"Teach your sister a lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu He stepped forward and received a heavy punch on the bridge of the man's nose. It was numb and painful. His body, which was more than 180 years old, fell into the crowd, knocking down several people.
Provoking a chorus of curses.
Ye Fan followed Qiu He and quickly rushed towards the building opposite.
He almost covered a distance of three or four meters in one step, and he looked very powerful in every aspect.
The two people entered the building, and Ye Fan made a gesture. Qiu He immediately pulled out two pistols from his waist and threw one to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took it, pulled up the safety catch, covered the wound on his waist, and took a breath of air.
Qiu He frowned, "Mr. Ye, you're injured, you'd better take the elevator! I'll go up first to see what's going on."
"Well, be careful." Ye Fan nodded.
His wound was not deep, but it was very long and could not effectively stop the bleeding, so he had to avoid strenuous exercise and bandage it as soon as possible.
Ye Fan will not be pretentious with Qiu He at this time.
Someone must guard the elevator and watch the stairs, otherwise there is a high chance of missing the killer.
"Yes!" Qiu He responded and rushed directly up the stairs from the safety passage. He jumped up to more than ten floors in one step. There were two spiral stairs. The distance between the first floor and the first floor was less than two seconds before he stepped up.
Ye Fan rubbed his hands and finally waited until the elevator came down. He rushed in and pressed down on the seventeenth floor, preventing others from pressing down on the floor.
Someone complained in the elevator. Ye Fan held the pistol in his hand and shouted in a low voice, "The police are handling the case, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!"
Immediately, everyone did not dare to complain, and hurriedly ran out of the elevator and watched the elevator rise.
A minute later, Ye Fan arrived at the seventeenth floor and cautiously approached the corner of the corridor.
Qiu He just said that the third room to the southeast is the sniper location, but now the corridor is so quiet that not even a breath can be heard.
