Chapter 11 - Chapter 12: Midnight Escape

Outside the warehouse, the footsteps getting louder.

The enemies surely know they are inside.

Li Chuan quickly stuff the laptop and documents into his backpack, his eyes scanning around for a way to escape.

Cheng Mo whisper: "We cannot fight head-to-head. They so many people, we only two."

Li Chuan nod, his voice low: "Got emergency exit behind, but need to cross two shelves first."

Cheng Mo take a deep breath, his finger slowly unlock the gun safety. If really kena spotted, at least they can fight back.

Then, a deep voice come from outside:

"They confirm still inside. Search!"

——The warehouse door suddenly push open!

Bright flashlight beams sweep across the room.

Li Chuan grip Cheng Mo's arm, point to the dark corner. Both of them quickly hide in the shadow, holding their breath.

A few men in black walk in, their guns ready.

"Faster. The targets maybe already take the files. Boss say they cannot walk out alive."

Hearing this, Cheng Mo's eyes turn colder.

Li Chuan whisper: "Three seconds later, move left."

Three—

Two—

One—

They move at the same time, silently sneaking toward the exit behind the shelves.

Just when they almost reach the door—

One of the men suddenly turn his head.

His eyes sharp.

"There!"

——Gunshots explode the silence!

A bullet graze Li Chuan's shoulder, pain shoot through his arm. He grit his teeth, but his footsteps only slow a bit.

Cheng Mo react super fast. He lift his gun, fire one shot.

Bang!

The bullet hit the enemy's shoulder, making his gun fall.

"Run!"

In that one second of chaos, the two of them dash for the back door.

——Outside, the street is dark and empty.

Li Chuan never stop running, his body moving on instinct. Only when they pass through a few alleys, he finally stop.

Cheng Mo hold his arm, whisper: "Can still tahan?"

Li Chuan face pale, but he just clench his jaw and nod: "Small wound. No problem."

Cheng Mo check around, make sure nobody follow, then say in a low voice: "We cannot stay here. Must find safe place now."

Li Chuan take a deep breath, eyes full of determination.

"We go place they never expect."

Cheng Mo frown: "You got a place?"

——Li Chuan smirk, eyes dark and cold.

"An old friend. Maybe can help."

The two of them disappear into the dark streets of Kuala Lumpur, their shadows blending with the city night.

——But the danger?

Far from over.
