Bai Meiyue heard the old woman's words and frowned. She turned to look at Lei Qian through the windscreen of the car; she could see his ashen face as he glared at the screaming old woman. Little flames could be seen burning in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything to the old woman and turned to face the soldiers who were pointing guns at the middle of his forehead.
Even though he was surrounded by snipers, his expression was rather calm. He faced the entire army with a fearless attitude and smiled. "Please forgive my grandmother. She sometimes throws unreasonable tantrums." he paused and added in a subtle whisper, "Her head is not in the right place, but she is a truly good woman."
"Lei Qian!" Grandma Lei was stunned when she heard the words of her grandson. It was one thing that he never showed any respect to her behind closed doors, but it was another thing that he was not even showing the adequate respect he should have shown to her in front of others.
Lei Qian ignored her. With a bloody and cruel expression, he put his hands behind his back and took five steps forward. The soldiers following Yu Miaomiao raised their guns and aimed at Lei Qian. They were prepared to shoot Lei Qian at the smallest move made by him but—
"AHH!" One of the soldiers dropped his gun as the metal body of the gun became too hot for him to hold. He looked down at the rifle that had fallen on the ground and stiffened when he saw the rifle turning into a puddle of nothing but a blobbing and frothing mess.
And he was not the only one. The rest of the soldiers also dropped their guns on the street one by one. All the rifles became too hot for them to hold, and they couldn't help but drop them.
When Yu Miaomiao saw Lei Qian's actions, she took a step back and looked him in the eye before saying, "You cannot kill me; this will be against the laws of the base."
"What's the matter? Now you are suddenly afraid? Didn't you have quite a lot of guts to corner me? What happened now? Don't tell me that you don't have the courage to fight with me? You were the ones who put the gun to my head, and I didn't even say anything. What are you afraid of now?"
As they drove closer, Bai Meiyue could see that in the car behind Lei Qian, two men were huddled inside the car along with a rather beautiful woman, and next to them was an old man who seemed to be unconscious, which was not surprising, considering the old man was gravely injured.
Bai Meiyue frowned when she looked at the condition of the old man and then turned to look at Lei Qian, who was standing in front of the car. Her gaze flickered to the young man, who was hiding inside the car without coming out. When she saw the similarities between the young man and Lei Qian, Bai Meiyue knew that this man was his cousin.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw Lei Wu hiding in the car.
