generally hold non-tradable shares. They typically don't allow more than 30% of their shares to be traded publicly, which is a way to prevent hostile takeovers. Jian'an Sen Gong used to be a state-ow...But he clearly underestimated the man he was dealing with.

But see Rong Ling desperately protecting Lin Meng, his feet flying, weaving through the crowd and obstacles. In doing so, he repeatedly shielded his own figure!

This is a bustling street!

Utilizing various external objects can effectively prevent sniping!

"Shit!"

The black-clad sniper cursed under his breath, realizing he'd met his match. On camera, every time he was about to take aim at Rong Ling's head, the next instant, either another head would appear in front of him, or obstacles like a large sun umbrella or street lamp would materialize. This was starting to get annoying!

It was time to act, even if he couldn't kill him with one shot. He had missed his best chance just now, and now there was no chance of a second lucky opportunity coming his way. Before setting up the sniper rifle, he had already carefully surveyed the surroundings. If he moved any slower, Rong Ling would probably go into the shop on the side.

Thus, we will miss the target!

With narrowed eyes, he sighted his target and pulled the trigger swiftly. But that man was as if he had eyes all over his body, suddenly ducking down and leaning forward, narrowly avoiding the bullet which instead struck a passerby beside him!

As blood splattered, screams erupted. Pedestrians panicked; they knew someone was hurt, likely shot, but they had no idea where the bullets came from. In their confusion, they lost their bearings and began to jostle aimlessly. The chaotic crowd only aided Rong Ling's escape, carrying Lin Meng with him. He took serpentine steps to dodge bullets. This eerie gait caused the sniper's shots to miss again and again. As Rong Ling was about to lead Lin Meng into a nearby clothing store, the sniper gritted his teeth and fired several shots in rapid succession!

A bullet grazed Rong Ling's arm, tearing off a piece of flesh and skin. Blood welled up instantly, surging down his arm and staining the white of his shirt sleeve crimson.

The metallic scent of blood, tinged with a coppery tang, startled Lin Meng. She struggled and lifted her head. Because she had entered the clothing store and was no longer within the sniper's line of sight, Rong Ling was no longer pressing down on Lin Meng's head so tightly. This allowed Lin Meng to raise her head. When she saw Rong Ling like this, her heart ached instantly!

“Rong Ling——” She choked out a gasp, her eyes stinging with tears. It felt as if the blood was flowing from her own body; a pain that pierced her very soul!

"Shhh!" Rong Ling immediately lowered his head and soothed her, giving her forehead a firm kiss.

Don't be afraid, it's okay, just follow me!

Lin Meng sniffed, taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down.

Rong Ling quickly took out his phone and ordered into it. "Lock onto my current location and come get me right away. I'm under attack, be careful!"

After finishing his words, he quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket and then glared at the surrounding clothes racks. He spotted a black thin coat on top and, pulling Lin Meng along, quickly walked towards it. He needed to use the clothes to cover the blood on his body; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to blend in with the crowd and wouldn't be able to effectively conceal himself!

When Rong Ling's arm, covered in blood, caught the attention of the store clerk, despite the commotion outside, the brave clerk still stepped forward and stopped him when Rong Ling directly put on his thin coat.

Probably because the young and delicate woman standing beside him seemed so harmless, she mistook him for a civilian caught in the crossfire.

"Sir, you can't do that!"

"Little one, pay for me!"

Lin Meng hurriedly grabbed a few bills from her bag, not even bothering to count them. It was certainly enough, so she just tossed them to the vendor and added a quick sentence.

"You're not going to find it!"

There, Rong Ling, who was walking and putting on his clothes at the same time, had already grabbed her and quickly walked inside. Lin Meng couldn't even personally hand the money to the vendor.

"Don't you have a back door here!" Rong Ling asked.

The salesclerk mumbled a "yes" in response, completely bewildered by the jumbled mess of dollar bills scattered across the floor.

With his uninjured hand, Rong Ling grabbed Lin Meng and dashed forward, running and walking at the same time like a gust of wind. They quickly reached the back door.

Lin Meng was concerned about the wounds on his body. As she ran, she cried out urgently, "Rong Ling, let me bandage your wounds first!"

"It's too late!" Rong Ling glanced ahead, replying nonchalantly.

His intuition told him that it wasn't over yet. That sniper was just getting started.

Exiting from the back door, you'll find another street. Rong Ling dragged Lin Meng along, giving him quite a walk. His black jacket easily concealed the wound on his arm, thus avoiding too much attention, but this wouldn't be a long-term solution.

Because his teammates in the same department had been killed consecutively, Rong Ling had made some preparations these days. He and Lin Meng went for a stroll on the street after getting off the car, but his men and the car were still following them at a distance. As long as they arrived in time, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

But the reply from his subordinates, which came through his mobile phone, made his heart sink a little.

"Boss, we're being followed!"

"Don't come over here, shake them off!"

Rong Ling walked with a sullen face, leading Lin Meng ahead. From a back entrance, they re-entered and found themselves in a supermarket. There were fewer people inside, making it seem rather quiet. Rong Ling's quick pace slightly slowed down.

"Are you tired" he asked Lin Meng with concern, leaning down.

Lin Meng panted, shaking her head vigorously. But in fact, because of the intense running and excessive tension, her face had flushed red, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Rong Ling looked on, feeling a pang of sympathy.

"Catch your breath!" He slowed his pace for her.

Lin Meng shook her head, not intending to waste even a moment. Licking her somewhat dry lips, she gasped for breath, her voice unsteady as she said, “Let’s go buy some bandages or medicine or something. To treat you first――"

Before the words "stop the bleeding" could even leave her lips, she suddenly lunged at Rong Ling.

Because in his field of vision, a hand rose from a shelf, and then a black muzzle pointed directly at Rong Ling.

She didn't think much of it and just did it!

We can't let anything happen to him!

Then, with a heavy "**," a can exploded about three centimeters from her temple. Rong Ling didn't even have time to change his expression at this stupid woman's behavior before he grabbed Lin Meng and ran aside. Then he picked up the nearest can and, as he turned, threw it right back.

“Clang!” A crash as the can hit the shelf, causing the goods on it to start shaking and falling. On the other end of that shelf, the man in gray holding a gun had his vision blocked by all the shaking merchandise and was forced to grudgingly put away his weapon. He hurriedly moved to find Rong Ling!

Rong Ling pulled Lin Meng behind a shelf, ears perked up, feeling the man's footsteps. His face was ashen with anger because his heart was churning with fury at Lin Meng's impulsive decision to stand in front of him. (..tw no pop-up ads) But now wasn't the time to get angry!

With one hand, he again picked up a can and focused intently on the far end of the shelf against which he was leaning.

The commotion in the store caused a ruckus. Some people ran out of the store, while the remaining few huddled together, trembling, instinctively crouching to the ground and burying their heads. Despite this, the small supermarket became chaotic with various goods falling to the floor due to human intervention, producing loud crashing sounds.

Ron Ling didn't move!

To remain unchanged amidst constant change can sometimes be a winning strategy!

So, when the gunman slightly peeked his head out, he without hesitation threw the can in his hand.

"Hmm…"

The response was a person's low hum!

Rong Ling was very confident in his own abilities, that person's head must have been smashed. So, he dragged Lin Meng and ran back through the back door.

But obviously, the person who came to kill him was a tough guy too. He had blood all over his head, but he still charged towards Ling Chong and fired his gun!

Rong Ling's shoulders ached with pain, she had been shot in the back!

Gritting his teeth, he dashed behind the shelves and kicked one with a resounding thud. The massive shelf, unable to withstand this man’s monstrous kick, began to tip over with its entire load of goods. As it did, the merchandise cascaded down, effectively blocking the gunman's line of sight once more.

The man with the gun cursed inwardly, hurriedly retreating to escape. But it was too late. The massive shelf suddenly crashed down on him. He helplessly raised his hands, struggling desperately.

While Rong Ling was dragging Lin Meng, they had already reached the back door. Just as Rong Ling pulled open the back door and stuck his head out a little, he cursed in his heart. It was obvious that the other party also had their own way of contacting each other. Outside, someone who clearly wasn't ordinary was quickly walking towards them. With him wearing a jacket in this hot weather and his hands hidden inside, it was clear he was holding a gun.

"Go forward!"

He whispered, pulled Lin Meng forward and ran, deliberately taking a different path, separating themselves from the armed man once again by a shelf as they sprinted ahead.

As he was getting closer to the storefront, only a few dozen meters away, the man who had been pinned under the shelves just moments ago and struggling to support himself actually made it all the way to the edge of the shelf. The moment he appeared, the enormous shelf came crashing down with a loud "boom," heavy and resonant!

Lin Meng and Rong Ling were exposed before him so openly.

The man raised his gun, his face, illuminated by the blood dripping from his head, contorted into a ferocious grin.

Lin Mengxin, with a sudden burst of energy she didn't know where it came from, shifted her position to the side, moving gracefully in front of Rong. She raised one hand high above her head.

She wasn't as tall as him, so she definitely couldn't block his face. Instinctively, she raised her hand, trying to shield him from the bullet. The other hand, though held tightly by the man, was still struggling to be lifted upward.

No matter how much it can cover, that's enough!

Just then, a very strange thing happened. The gunman's face twisted heavily, muttering something as if cursing, and suddenly raised his hand. The bullet, as if flying over Rong Ling's head with ease, missed its target – Rong Ling's chest!

A master never allows for any negligence!

A bottle within reach was swiftly snatched by Rong Ling, who then hurled it with force toward the man. At the same time, Rong Ling released Lin Meng and grabbed the bottle with both hands, smashing it again. As he smashed, he rapidly charged towards the man. The man, struck on the head once more, was clearly dazed. His brain seemed overloaded, his mind in a fog. His glazed eyes and dilated pupils showed that he had lost his normal ability to react. Rong Ling took advantage of this opportunity, delivering blow after blow with the bottle, each one striking the man's head precisely, leaving him even more disoriented.

And he, as if instinctively out of some sort of concern, held the gun in his hand, its muzzle pointed at the ceiling all along. As Rong Ling approached him, he effortlessly snatched the gun from his grasp, and at the same time, a blade-like switchblade slashed down towards the man's neck with terrifying speed. The man instantly went limp, slowly slumping to the ground.

Rong Ling no longer looked at him, because he could be sure that once that person fell, they wouldn't be able to get up again. He turned back and quickly pulled Lin Meng, while at the same time raising his hand, he fired a shot towards the back door of the supermarket. Immediately, blood splattered onto the back door panel. The black shadow that had just darted out was hit by this sudden gunshot and "whooshed" back into hiding. The back door followed suit and was closed!

"Let's go!"

Rong Ling once again seized Lin Meng, holding a gun in one hand and discreetly hiding it inside his coat. He quickly walked out, doing so to avoid causing further chaos among the crowd outside.

The only safe way for now is to successfully blend in with the crowd!

At this time, the other two groups of Rong Ling's men also reported that they were being watched. Rong Ling guessed that he was probably ambushed! Moreover, the other party had been plotting for a long time, so they had figured out all his arrangements!

"Don't wait for them!"

Lin Meng also heard the reply coming from her phone. She panted heavily, looking disheveled, but her eyes instead turned cold and resolute.

"We'll drive ourselves!"

Kong Ling's running pace slowed slightly.

Lin Meng at that moment waved his hand, frantically gesticulating, making a hitchhiking motion.

This is probably the benefit of being beautiful. That taxi, which caught Lin Meng's eye and was just a dozen meters away from her, ignored several people who waved at it with surprised and panicked expressions, and stopped directly in front of Lin Meng.

Get in the car!

At this moment, Lin Meng unexpectedly displayed a resolute determination. She pulled Rong Ling towards the car. Rong Ling's eyes flashed rapidly before he followed her into the vehicle. He then pushed Lin Meng slightly and swiftly closed the car door.

The driver, watching Lin Meng's stunningly beautiful face up close, let out a small whistle and gave a low compliment.

"What a pretty lady!"

Lin Meng quickly smiled sweetly, said thank you, and then very quickly gave an address.

"Please hurry up, this place is terrible!"

The young driver got a beautiful woman's smile, and at that moment, all the hormones in his body started to surge. A strong desire for expression took over him, and he slammed on the gas pedal. The car "whooshed" out with a speed that would definitely get him punished by the traffic police.

"You must be scared!" the driver said, keeping his eyes on the road while also trying to comfort Lin Meng. "We often have jerks here having a fit and scaring people on the street. Don't worry, the police will be here soon..."

"You must be a visitor, first time here"

"Looking at you, you must be Asian, right"

Lin Mengxu responded with a beautiful smile, diligently maintaining it on her face while subtly leaning towards Rong Ling. She skillfully shielded Rong Ling's injured arm with her own body.

I'm glad Rong Ling is experienced. At the time, she chose a black coat, so even if it was stained with blood, it wouldn't be easily noticeable!

Lin Meng again apologized to the enthusiastic driver, took out her phone, and quickly edited a message before sending it. She then turned her head to look at Rong Ling.

"I know a very reliable person who runs his own clinic. Let's go there for medical treatment first, what do you think I just texted my friend to pick us up, that way we can probably lose those people!"

She knew the man she was with was extraordinary. She'd seen this extraordinariness in her uncle Sanbo, heard it from a young boy who had to learn many things at a young age, witnessed it when their honeymoon first took them to the Golden Triangle, and felt it among the people carrying guns everywhere in the Golden Triangle. Therefore, when she thought about things, she had to delve deeper, consider everything more comprehensively.

So, she can't call her friends to chat, only send text messages! So, she made that arrangement again!

Now this driver is kind, but she has to be careful, that person who inexplicably opens fire on them could follow the driver's trail and come after them again.

Ron Ling was surprised by this little woman again. He was full of doubts, but he still nodded and whispered to her, asking for details.

The two people were talking in Chinese. The American driver couldn't understand either, so they didn't have to worry about their conversation being leaked.

After arriving at their destination, the driver, intoxicated by Lin Meng's beauty, handed her a business card, claiming that they could call him anytime they needed a car. Of course, this "they" was a lie; his eyes gleamed and only focused on Lin Meng.

Lin Meng still smiled and accepted it, not paying attention to the fact that her man instantly gripped her small hand with a tightness that sent shivers down her spine.

Looking at the taxi drive away, Lin Meng led Rong Ling and walked for a short distance. After all, she had stayed in America for four years. Now that she was back in her familiar area, everything would be up to her.

After taking another turn, Lin Meng's friend's car was already there. When she saw Lin Meng arrive, the female friend even waved to her. The two got in the car, and Lin Meng said a few words to her friend. Her friend replied that it was okay and then started the car.

Not until he got into the car with his familiar friend did Lin Meng feel a sense of relief. Then, turning her head to look at Rong Ling, she saw that his face was very unpleasant. Moreover, the way he looked at her seemed to be filled with anger.

"What's wrong!" Her heart skipped a beat, and her expression turned anxious again. She stared at him, lost and confused.

And he, seizing her chin in his hand, dug his fingers deep into the flesh beneath. His eyes were fierce, almost ashen with fury, as he snarled at her.

"From now on, never stand in my way again!"

He would rather die than let her take the bullet for him!

Still twice!

That's really freaking annoying!

---Aside---

Earlier, at the request of my sisters in the group, I also agreed. Therefore, there will be a gift-giving activity tomorrow on Mid-Autumn Festival. Please pay attention to it as soon as possible~.nd, could it be that she had bumped into something!His big hand clasped her slender waist, turning her slightly.
