Chapter 44: Curtain Falls

Chang Qing felt ridiculous about his inexplicable self-confidence. He glanced at him contemptuously. Then he looked away, and said softly: “You’ll know when the time comes, no matter what, you can’t win against him.”

Qin Lang’s dark expression instantly returned to its original gentleness. “You’re completely biased towards him now.”

Chang Qing didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Qin Lang seems to have a talkative nature. He said again with a smile, “It’s a nice view here. If the timing were right, we could go camping here.”

Chang Qing didn’t speak, but that didn’t ruin his interest in speaking. He talked about some irrelevant topics in a leisurely manner, which made Chang Qing have to glance at him a few more times.

“Are you nervous?” Chang Qing asked calmly.

Qin Lang paused and smiled slightly, “How could it be?”

“Scared?”

“Now you’re afraid? After all the bad things you did you weren’t afraid. But now that you’re going to be arrested, are you afraid?”

Qin Lang reached around the back of Chang Qing’s neck and covered his mouth, whispering in his ear, “I don’t like what you’re saying right now, so shut up now.”

Chang Qing struggled for a while, but couldn’t break away. He had to turn his head away so he couldn’t see him.

Qin Lang said, “You hear that? There’s no more gunfire.”

He said to himself, “The people Fatty hired are fugitives. Even if they’re caught they won’t be executed. It isn’t necessary for them to fight to the death with Lu Zheng’s people.”

In the end, his plan was still rough. He should come up with a better plan, so that Lu Zheng had no chance to turn the tables.

Qin Lang licked his dry lips and said to Chang Qing, “If I use you to force him to commit suicide, would he do it?”

Chang Qing turned his head looked at him with a look of indifference that was so beautiful that it could be regarded as textbook-level.

A faint laugh escaped Qin Lang’s throat, and a rare layer of happiness appeared in his affectionate eyes. “If he refuses to commit suicide, I also can’t bear to kill you. It seems that this method won’t work.”

Qin Lang took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth expertly, took out his lighter and lit it. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, then exhaled a perfect smoke ring.

“It’s a bit bad to be an actor. You can’t drink. You can’t smoke. You can’t do many things. Did you know that Fatty thought I couldn’t smoke? In fact, I learned to smoke when I was 14 years old. I was quite addicted to smoking, but as an actor, don’t you need to set up a persona? I can’t drink, I can’t smoke … It’s my character design and I’ve persevered for ten years. “

Chang Qing deeply suspected that this guy had no real friends, so now that he’d caught him he just poured out his heart. But he didn’t want to hear it at all.

Chang Qing’s feelings for Qin Lang never wavered. Even when he told his story as if nothing was wrong and told about how difficult things were for him, Chang Qing didn’t feel sorry for him.

The saying that a hateful person must be pitied may be true, but he didn’t want to sympathize with a perverted murderer at all.

Chang Qing still remembered the sins he committed, even though this man’s expression was gentle and pure, he felt that he was a beast in human skin.

Qin Lang muttered a lot to himself, but he didn’t seem to want Chang Qing to answer, so he kept his hand tightly covering his mouth.

After an unknown amount of time a rustling sound came from somewhere.

Qin Lang and Chang Qing both quieted down. They followed the source of the sound and saw Lu Zheng and Fatty Wang.

Chang Qing’s eyes lit up instantly. He leaned forward a little, wanting to walk towards him. Qin Lang pulled him back and held him tightly in his arms.

Lu Zheng was tall and strong. At that moment, he was wearing a tank top, overalls, and black boots. His exposed arms were covered with a thin layer of muscle, it didn’t look exaggerated or thin. It was also full of a sense of strength. He saw Chang Qing and Qin Lang, frowned, and strode toward them.

Chang Qing immediately struggled hard. He wanted to speak, but Qin Lang pressed him to death and refused to let him move.

Lu Zheng stopped in his tracks. His face was as dark as water, and his eyes slid across Chang Qing’s face inch by inch until they landed on Qin Lang’s face.

Qin Lang glanced at Fatty Wang, who was being held by Lu Zheng. His face was contorted, and his arms were hanging limply by his side.  His legs were unable to stand up. Dark red blood flowed down his calves from his wide trouser legs and fell on the fallen leaves.

Qin Lang quickly withdrew his gaze, but looked at Lu Zheng with a smile, and said softly, “You’re here at last.”

Lu Zheng asked, “Are you the one who kidnapped my people?”

Qin Lang innocently said: “I’ve done no such thing.”

Lu Zheng threw Fatty Wang at his feet. He turned a deaf ear to Fatty Wang’s wailing, and said calmly, “Your man, for mine, do you agree?”

Qin Lang rolled his eyes. He smiled and said, “Yes, but my leg is injured, so come here.”

Lu Zheng took a step forward, and Chang Qing immediately struggled again. Qin Lang held him down with a cold face and said in a hoarse voice, “Can you behave yourself? Does it make you so happy to be able to go home soon? “

In spite of what he said, Lu Zheng stopped and took a step back.

Qin Lang saw it, and a look of displeasure passed quickly over his face before his face returned to normal, “Are you leaving? Don’t you want him anymore?”

Lu Zheng sneered, “Let me come over? Who gave you the face?”

Qin Lang’s face was cold, but he soon recovered his gentle expression. He said in a good voice: “Be considerate of each other. I’m a little injured and can’t walk. Please bring Fatty here, and let’s exchange hostages with each other, okay?”

Lu Zheng stared into his eyes. “Come and take this fat man. and I’ll take my person.”

The curve of Qin Lang’s lips faded, “Lu Zheng, who is Chang Qing to you?”

Lu Zheng’s face was expressionless and his eyes were deep. “Are you talking nonsense to delay time? I advise you to hand him over as soon as possible. My people are all at the foot of the mountain. You will not be able to get away.”

Qin Lang said: “Lu Zheng, I thought you were smart, but I didn’t expect you to only amount to this. You should tell me something nice. If I’m happy and relaxed, maybe I’ll let him go. But when you say these words, I feel uncomfortable. Maybe I just want to take a scapegoat and die together.”

Lu Zheng pursed his lips, and with a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes, he turned his head and twisted Fatty Wang’s other arm.

Fatty Wang grunted and clenched his teeth. His face was twisted and looked very ugly. He heard Lu Zheng’s gloomy and fierce voice, “Let him go!”

Fatty Wang reluctantly raised his eyes and looked at Qin Lang, “Qin Lang, let… let him go.”

Qin Lang looked at Fatty Wang with a deep gaze, “Why didn’t you kill him?”

Fatty Wang gritted his teeth and lowered his head, “He has a gun, too.”

Fatty Wang was an ordinary person after all. At the moment when he saw Lu Zheng, he was a little hesitant, and paused for a few seconds. Lu Zheng was a step ahead of him. He shot him without hesitation and hit his wrist. Then he broke his arm and broke his leg directly from the knee. Without any hesitation, he completed this series of moves very neatly.

Fatty Wang was really afraid of this young man who was several years younger than him. It was too cruel. Fatty Wang believed without hesitation that Lu Zheng could really kill him.

In the end, he was still scared. He was afraid. In the midst of severe pain, he began to reflect on what he had done these past few days. Why did he do such a thing? Why did he suddenly come to this point? Why?

However, the severe pain made him unable to think clearly at all. In the end, he didn’t come up with a reason. The moment he saw Qin Lang again, he remembered that he should do this. There was no reason, it was just to protect Qin Lang.

But he was in so much pain and fear that he could hardly raise the idea of ​​killing Lu Zheng again.  Lu Zheng took off one of his arms and finally let him say, “Qin Lang, let him… let him go…”

He raised his eyes but he didn’t see Qin Lang’s worry and distress for him. There was only a piercing look of indifference in his eyes, and a hint of reproach. His heart went cold, and the sharp pain in his body became hazy and ethereal.

When Lu Zheng saw Qin Lang’s expression, he knew what was going on. “So it turns out he’s just a minion. I thought he was someone important,” He finished carelessly, and suddenly pulled the gun from his waist with lightning speed.

At the same time, Chang Qing slammed into Qin Lang’s face fiercely, taking advantage of his slack grip to lean to the side.

With a “bang”, a blood flower exploded on Qin Lang’s chest.

He blinked and looked down at his chest. He moved his lips, but in the end smiled. “Fine, I lost.”

He airily finished this sentence clutching his chest. Then he pushed Chang Qing away, stood up, and staggered forward.

Lu Zheng fired another shot at Qin Lang’s back, accurately hitting the crook of his knee. Qin Lang didn’t say a word, and his pace wasn’t disrupted at all.

Lu Zheng wanted to hit him again, but Fatty Wang managed to get up and bump into him. The muzzle of the gun swung and hit the ground. When he looked again, Qin Lang was nowhere to be seen.

Chang Qing fell to the ground, took a breath and twisted himself to sit up and told Lu Zheng, “He buried a mine here. Don’t come over, go back.”

Lu Zheng looked at his face. Then the tense expression on his face finally relaxed, “Are you all right?”

Chang Qing smiled at him, “I’m okay.”

Lu Zheng said in a hoarse voice, “He can’t run far. I’ll catch him, and send him to prison. Get revenge for you.”

Chang Qing looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and his heart warmed, “En.”

Lu Zheng turned his head and calmly kicked Fatty Wang away. The cold-looking boots slammed hard on Fatty Wang’s completely broken leg, crushing it to the point where he wailed uncontrollably.

While doing such cold and cruel things, he still had time to turn his head to look at Chang Qing, and say to him, “Stand still, I’ll have someone come over to clear the mine.”

Chang Qing asked softly, “Have you found Lu Hua?”

Lu Zheng paused for a moment, “Still looking for her. The others have got it under control.”

Chang Qing let out an “En” and quietly looked at his tall back without saying a word.
