There was a game the day after tomorrow, but he wasn’t practicing. Why was he dressed in a suit and leather shoes so late at night?

Gu Ci’s phone vibrated, and Zhou Jinjin sent her a text message, wanting to join for a late-night snack. Gu Ci replied that she was having supper.

Zhou Jinjin: You went out for supper without inviting me? Don’t you love me anymore!

After sending her location, Gu Ci let her come over. It was only a ten-minute walk. She ordered seafood congee and fried noodles. When Zhou Jinjin arrived, the food was ready for her.

“You guys left me out and went for supper without me!”

“After 8 p.m., you don’t eat, remember?” Gu Ci pushed the seafood congee towards her.

“It depends on who I’m eating with,” Zhou Jinjin happily enjoyed her late-night snack. “Hey, Ziyu, why aren’t you talking?”

Gu Ziyu pouted, continuing to sip his congee. Zhou Jinjin noticed, “Did you lose a tooth?”

Taking the bait, Gu Ci couldn’t contain her laughter. “Yes, he’s losing baby teeth, and it affects his speech.”

Zhou Jinjin laughed, “Ziyu, you have an image to uphold, huh?”

“Yes!” Gu Ziyu replied in a solemn tone.

As they were enjoying their late-night meal, a blue car suddenly sped towards them, seemingly out of control, and crashed into the Chinese restaurant. This restaurant had the best business on the entire food street.

“Ziyu, stop eating,” Gu Ci pulled Gu Ziyu up. “Jinjin, get up, run!”

The car was speeding dangerously towards them, but Gu Ci had already pulled Gu Ziyu towards a nearby building. Chen Fei also rushed over, immediately protecting Gu Ziyu.

Gu Ci instructed, “You protect Jinjin.”

She pulled Gu Ziyu and ran forward desperately while Chen Fei held onto Zhou Jinjin’s wrist, finding shelter in a nearby building. The car crashed into the restaurant’s glass window, shattering it. Customers inside panicked, scrambling to escape.

Some shards of glass even flew to Gu Ci’s feet.

The crowd screamed and scattered, and the car emitted smoke. Several customers were injured and lay on the ground, and people thought it was a case of a runaway or drunk driver causing the accident.

Zhou Jinjin, still shaken, said, “Wow, that’s terrifying. Was it a drunk driver? So many people got hurt.”

Chen Fei was a special forces soldier with a strong sense of justice. “I’ll go help!”

“Stop!” Gu Ci frowned. “It’s a car out of control, crashing into a crowded restaurant. This looks like a terrorist attack.” As she finished her sentence, a sudden and intense explosion occurred in front of them.

Both Gu Ci and Chen Fei reacted swiftly. Gu Ci held Gu Ziyu tightly, rolling to the side to shield him. Chen Fei also pressed Zhou Jinjin to the ground. The explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, and the people who had been helping near the car were all blown away.

An arm landed right in front of Zhou Jinjin, splattering her with blood. She had never witnessed such a gruesome scene and screamed in terror, “Ahhhh…”

Chen Fei covered her eyes with his large, reassuring hand. “Don’t be afraid!”

Zhou Jinjin trembled all over. Gu Ci looked back at the horrifying aftermath of the explosion, shocked and stunned. Then, she heard gunshots, and so did Chen Fei.

“Scatter! Don’t stand around! Find a place to hide!” Chen Fei shouted loudly in English. Gu Ci pulled Gu Ziyu and ran ahead. Initially, there were sporadic gunshots, followed by a barrage of rapid gunfire. Bullets flew indiscriminately.

“Run!” Gu Ci yelled, “Chen Fei, protect Jinjin, find a hiding spot quickly!”

A group of masked men, tall and imposing, got out of a van and started shooting indiscriminately. They treated human lives as if they were insignificant. It was the busiest time at the night market, and many people had come out for late-night snacks. The streets were crowded, and within moments, over a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground, turning the street into a river of blood.

Screams and gunfire mingled together, creating a terrifying atmosphere. People who had been shot were lying on the ground, crying out in pain. They crawled on the ground, desperately seeking shelter.

Eight men, shooting as they walked, fired indiscriminately. Everyone was scrambling to find a place to hide. Gu Ci held Gu Ziyu behind a pillar. In the chaos, Chen Fei and Zhou Jinjin took cover under a flowerbed. They were practically lying on the ground, and bullets struck the other side of the flowerbed, causing stones to fly, so Chen Fei covered Zhou Jinjin’s mouth.

Gu Ci shielded Gu Ziyu, embracing him tightly. Bullets hit the pillar, and a piece of shrapnel flew past Gu Ci’s arm, tearing her jacket down. She covered Gu Ziyu’s ears. In her line of sight, she saw a man and a woman running on the street. The woman was shot and fell to the ground, but the man continued running, leaving a trail of blood behind, turning the place into a hellish scene.

Zhou Jinjin was trembling all over and held onto Chen Fei. The men with masks started shooting in their direction. When one of them aimed his dark gun barrel at Zhou Jinjin, her face turned pale, and she screamed, “Ahhhh!”

The masked man was about to shoot when Chen Fei grabbed the gun barrel, causing it to veer off course, and a shot went wide. Chen Fei’s pistol was now pointed at the man’s head, and he pulled the trigger, ending the threat with a headshot.

This scene unfolded right in front of Zhou Jinjin, blood splattering on her face. She nearly fainted as the masked man fell to the ground, revealing the positions of Zhou Jinjin and Chen Fei.

Seven or eight men converged on Zhou Jinjin and Chen Fei, seeking revenge for their fallen comrades. Gu Ci took a deep breath, hiding Gu Ziyu. “No matter what happens, don’t come out!”

“Mom… Don’t go!” Gu Ziyu pleaded.

Gu Ci glanced at him. If she didn’t act, neither Zhou Jinjin nor Chen Fei would survive. “Don’t be afraid, Mom loves you, and I won’t leave you.”

Gu Ci rolled to the side and quickly grabbed the long rifle of the fallen man. She knelt down, raised the rifle, aimed, and fired at the men closing in. One of them was hit in the thigh, and Gu Ci continued firing, forcing them to seek cover.

Staring in astonishment, Chen Fei exclaimed, “Holy fuck!”

Zhou Jinjin echoed, “Holy fuck!”

Damn! She looked good doing that!

After the initial shock, Chen Fei quickly poked his head out, demonstrating the agility and skill of a special forces soldier. With Gu Ci providing covering fire, he managed to hit three of the attackers.

Gu Ci held the rifle and moved to another flowerbed, which happened to be within Gu Ziyu’s line of sight. The attackers were now taking cover and firing in their direction. The intense gunfire nearly penetrated the flowerbed, making it impossible for Gu Ci to lift her head. She covered her head, hiding under the flowerbed, yet she showed no fear.

Chen Fei cautiously exposed himself, firing several more shots. The masked men grew furious and seemed to be discussing something. Sirens and ambulance sounds grew louder. They dragged their injured comrades and quickly got into a van, leaving behind a gruesome scene with blood flowing like a river.

Gu Ci sighed in relief, dropped the rifle, and saw that Gu Ziyu was safe. She hurried over to the woman who had been shot closest to them. The woman had been shot in the abdomen, and Gu Ci glanced at the wound, realizing it likely wasn’t fatal. She took the woman’s scarf and pressed it against her wound. “Keep pressure on the wound, don’t panic, take deep breaths, an ambulance will be here soon.”

The woman, her face pale, asked, “Am I going to die?”
