Chapter 72 - The Day of Marriage (II)
My eyes went wide of the sudden realization.
The beast waited for three years to marry . But for so reason, it kept delaying. But at last, the 'Ti' that I was only holding on to stop him from marrying gone out.
Guan Gao Huan studied for a mont then let out a terrifying smile.
"Looks like you are not broken as I thought so. "
He ca near and whispered in my ear.
"What have you been up to Xiong Zhi? I have eyes and ears everywhere. Rember, you're mine. I already marked you."
I shivered.
Then he laughed out loud.
"You should have seen your face! You're getting better and better in showing out your emotions!"
After his laughter died down, he added while shaking his head.
"It makes you less interesting."
Then he ordered the guard to put into sleep.

The cold wind blew the curtains on the balcony. It swayed together with Xiong Zhi's hair and her thin nightgown. Her body shivered. Not because of cold but because of this certain mory.
Her fingers got tense as she strumd hard on guzheng's strings. Making the sound it produced more chaotic...
*******
"...ready?"
"...it now."
"...them to wait."
I could hear murmurs. This voice was supposedly gentle yet my instinct told it's horrific. There's vibration under . Like I was in a car.
I squeezed my eyes to see clearly. I was wearing a white beautiful dress. But I can't admire it at the mont as the first face I saw made wide awake.
The beast ended the call and smiled at .
"My bride is awake. How are you feeling?"
I did not answer him and just stared at him horrified. I can't bear to be with him especially in this closed space.
His phone rang breaking my terrified thoughts.
"Lu Jin, how's the news?" Guan Gao Huan was back being serious.
A mont passed as the other man on the line reported sothing.
"Really? So it's true. I'm just really wondering how they suddenly agreed to my proposal at this mont. It might be a trap.? Linfeng might be behind this-" my ears perked up "-but it is fine as well. I will not let them get what they want-"? Gao Huan then looked at -? "they can't take what already is mine. We will use this opportunity. It's still a big project. "
Gao Huan becos quiet for a mont as he listened to the other line.
"Don't worry. I will et them. I will get this project. I'll be on ti on my wedding. The fate of Xiong will be at that wedding. Of course, I can't miss it." Gao Huan talked like this wedding was not his.
"And if you are really worried, add so n from your team. I need it in twenty minutes." Then he ended the call.
He ordered the car to stopped. Before he ca out, he smiled at gently threatening .
"Don't try to do anything funny. I won't like it. And you know what I do to disobedient pets." He walked out and turned to the chief of the bodyguards who was sitting at the passenger seat.
"Call all the teams. Guard this car. You must arrive no matter what. If people attempt to stop this car, you kill them. Or else you and your team will be killed instead." Gaon Huan rcilessly said those words.
The chief sweated. " Yes, Young Master." The chief knew that Gao Huan was not just threatening. It will really happen if they failed.
Gao Huan went to the car at the back.
Five black cars were surrounding us initially. With four bodyguards inside each car including the driver.
Two cars went together with Gao Huan's car. Leaving the two cars and eight bodyguards. Monts later, seven black cars stopped before us. They t the chief in front and reported to him. They are probably the rest of the team.
I now understood why that beast left alone. He was confident I won't escape. Because I can't. How can I escape from 38 strong and trained bodyguards?
I wept silently inside. The day that I have been waiting for beca like this.
Linfeng...
Please co.
I hated it. I hated myself for being weak. For just sitting here waiting for my entire life to dood. I'm so hopeless.
Then suddenly the car I am in speed up and the black cars that was surrounding this car get closer.
From the walkie-talkie, I panicked voiced shouted.
"Boss! I spotted four cars following us! No..they are six...Wait they are eight!"
I looked behind to see if that's true.
From the distance, more black cars appeared and slowly decreasing the distance.
The car I am in speed up more.
"Brothers! Get in the formation! Don't let them break in and get close to the Miss' car!? If we failed we will die!" The chief shouted to his walkie-talkie.
"Yes, boss!"
Three cars were in front of , two at my side, three at the back, and one car that was left behind as their scout.
The two cars behind moved and sided with the scout leaving the middle car behind. The two cars at both of my sides moved backward to replaced the two cars that moved. And the two cars at the front replaced the cars at both of my sides. There was only one car in front of mine.
After a while, gunshots were heard. I looked back and saw the three cars which were with the scout was engaged with the firing of the front cars of the other group.
Suddenly a black car that cos out from the intersection collided to our side. Smashing the left car on my side. The car behind opened it's window and fired guns to the newcor.
But that newcor was surprisingly a bulletproof car.
Three more cars caught up with the newcor. They ca from the intersection. The car in front of and at my side engaged firing with them. The other side also pulled down their window and began firing.
Both the cars behind, front and at the side were all engaged in firing and racing. Trying to get near this car, the car which I reside in.
Suddenly, I got hopeful.
It must be Linfeng.
The first newcor was still engaged in crashing with the car at my side. Its window was pulled down and the face that I dread so much to see appeared.
"Xiong Zhi!"
Linfeng's slightly curled hair swayed with a cold wind. It was longer than I rembered. He was paler and thinner than the image in my mind. Nevertheless, he was still handso and brighter than any light.
"Linfeng..." I choked as the heat ca to my eyes.
He can't see . But I know he knew I was in this car.
Linfeng was driving. In his other hand, he has his gun. He skillfully smashed his car to the other car at my side. He exchanged fire with one of the n in that car.
Linfeng was trained since young. He was a point shooter. His two shots killed a man. But soone took the shooter's place and fired a gun at Linfeng again. Linfeng dodged at the sa ti keep firing.
Gunshots and collisions echoed through this dark road.
Finally, after the three n were killed inside that car, the driver panicked and run away. Leaving the formation and leaving my side open.
Linfeng's car quickly ca near . The other three guards including the chief was waiting for this mont and ready to fire at him.
But I was here. I wouldn't let them do that. So I went nearer to the passenger seat. When the window was pulled down, the chief gripped tightly his gun and aid it at Linfeng. Before he could pull the trigger? I bite off the chief's shoulder.
The chief grunt in pain and missed the timing to shoot Linfeng.
He glared at with hatred and smack his gun at my head.
I felt my head spun as my hair which was pulled up in a bun flowed out because of the impact.
Linfeng's eyes went red and he collided his car hardly in my car.
and the chief was almost thrown over because of the impact. My dizziness hasn't yet dissipated when I heard a gunshot. The chief let out a grunt and died.
The first gunshot's sound hasn't dissipated yet when another gunshot was fired. It was for the driver. The car stopped imdiately.
I looked at the whole in the driver's head, horrified.
It turns out Linfeng took the chance when he bangs his car on us, catching the chief and the driver unprepared.
Suddenly, the car's door was opened and a cold hand pulled up gently and hug .
I woke up from my daze as I felt his hard chest on .
"Zhi'er...I'm sorry I ca late." Linfeng's shaking voice and warm body made my eyes blurred.
I can't breathe. My heart was hanging on a thread. I'm afraid it is a dream. I hugged him back to prove to myself he's here. That finally he was here.
He looked at . He was still holding . His bloodshot eyes never leaving , studying every single thing in my face. Finally, he kissed the bump in my forehead.
"It must be pretty painful, huh?" He said it gently, like coaxing his beloved.
Then I felt warm tears on my forehead.
Linfeng was crying.
My eyes too can't hold for long.
I cried.
