Chapter 14

  Retreat from the gymnasium

  “Have you seen, in fact it’s not so easy for me to live.” Charlie Tai didn’t look at that dead body on the ground, the not able to speak people doesn’t have anything to be paid attention more. He said to Sheilor with a smile, this sentence obviously aimed at earlier, Sheilor said that he this kind of people didn’t know, it’s a very difficult thing to live originally.

  Sheilor moved his head to one side, didn’t say anything, in fact, he still didn’t completely get over from earlier that shock. Although he was the first one to find out the anomaly of that agent, but the gunfight took place in front of him, the originally very open luxury balcony, immediately appear very narrow. Thos like fried beans gunshots were ended too quick, it’s so quick that he couldn’t have time to be afraid of the stray bullets.

  Charlie Tai didn’t say what thank you for saving my life again that kind of rubbish, the favor of saving life always is impossible to repay with his own life, they both just needed to keep it in their minds.

  “We should go now.” the middle-aged agent team leader saw that the childe of the Tai family still seemed like nothing to talk with Sheilor, he couldn’t help to frown and urged one more time.

  At this time, the had been talking in the mobile phone steward Ken walked to come over, he said calmly, “I have already called the director of the Secret Service, you just stay in this room temporarily, don’t go out.”

  The agent team leader was in a daze slightly, then he immediately understood what the meaning in the words of this elderly steward. There is a turncoat in his team, the Tai family couldn’t believe them these people any more. At least in this situation at the present, they just could choose not to believe. He silenced for a moment, estimated that this is the only thing which he can do, so he nodded his head.

  The steward Ken said the side of Charlie Tai’s face, “the staffs of the security group have already entered gymnasium this area, they are having the gunfight with the other party. Three minutes later, they should clean up the other party.”

  From the beginning of that phone, the security work for Charlie Tai was transferred from the agents of the Secret Service, to the security team of the Tai family themselves.

  Since the other party could permeate even the Secret Service, and possibly used the mecha, then retreat on the route from the gymnasium, it must was full of the responsible for snipe killers.

  At this time, the security team members of the Tai family had already begun to exchange fire with these people. Since steward Ken said the three minutes time, certainly he had the enough confidence to his those subordinates.

  Charlie listened quietly, suddenly he opened his mouth and asked, “three minutes later, can you find the location of that military mecha?”

  “Can’t.” the corner of steward Ken’s eyes looked at that the agents of the Secret Service, they began to walk to the room by the side of the balcony, answered in a soft voice, “just because we can’t, so we must fight the clock to leave.”

  Charlie Tai silenced for a moment, then he shook his head, looked at the after crowd receded gymnasium below through the French window, said in the soft voice, “more than thirty thousand audiences, it would take at least more than ten minutes even for the emergency evacuation. If I go out three minutes later… if that military mecha chose to launch the attack at that moment, how many people would die at that time? I don’t want to let the innocent citizens become the shield for me.”

  Sheilor floated a sincere and appreciative smile on his face after he heard these words.

  Charlie Tai took a look at him and had a smile, sat back to the sofa calmly, and said to the steward Ken in a soft voice, “the other party must will count your reaction time in. if we go out at this time, maybe what the other party waiting is just for this time point. Under this kind of circumstance, why don’t we just wait for a moment? After all, they should be more impatient than we are.”

  The steward Ken silenced for a long time, then he turned around and left. The phone in his hand was connected once again, he kept issuing the commands in the low and deep voice, seeking the support of the family. At this moment, his phone represented the will of the Tai family, every instruction must be implemented effectively; each information passed to the outside, would cause a hard to quell shock inside of the Federation.

  “You let me feel unexpectedly very much.” Sheilor sat on the other side of the sofa, holding a glass of wine and quaffed, to suppress the anxiety and tension in his heart with this way. Besides uncle was hunted down by the federal troops that time, his this life had never experienced such a huge scene.

  “No need to praise. I know that I am a privileged class people having the moral sense very much.” Charlie Tai drank a mouthful of the wine, said with a self-mockery smile, “in fact, you surprised me more. Let alone the reaction you had earlier… at least you still have the courage to stay over here to drink with me at this time. It’s really a very amazing thing.”

  “I don’t know whether I would be shot as a hornet nest or not once I walk out of this room. In this situation, it may not as good as to stay over here to accompany with you. I think that it should be safer to stay over here.” Sheilor had a smile very honestly and said, “actually I am very nervous right now.”

  At this time, the security team members of the Tai family had already taken over the work of the agents, the top floor of the gymnasium had already been confirmed safe, but the tuk tuk tuk tuk light sounds still came from the outside of the balcony time to time. Those slowly leaving the gymnasium crowd, surely wouldn’t notice these sounds, but in the balcony those two young men all knew it clearly, that’s the special guns shooting on and on.

  The time had already passed two minutes, the security team of the Tai family was cleaning up the retreat route gradually, however, nobody felt at ease.

  According to the report of those team members, the people of the other party seemed to be all the trained professional soldiers, and to associate it with that had already had the warm start for more than ten minutes, but still couldn’t be checked out the location military mecha, all the people had the nervous mood.

  Sheilor also was so, although he had experienced something, also once witnessed the soul-stirring mecha battle in the valley on the suburb of the West River state capital, and even several times was aimed at the temple by people with the dark barrel, but he was still nervous at this time. After all, he was still an ordinary young man not up to twenty years old, living the common days from a child. This kind of invisible danger, just like some kind of chemical mist, let the air in the balcony appear heavy, let his breath somewhat not that smooth.

  “I am very sorry, drag you into this event.” Charlie Tai looked at Sheilor quietly, a flicker of profound meaning flashed across in the smile on the corners of his mouth, he said with the smile, “your face seems to be a bit whiter than mine at this time.”

  “That’s caused by the hunger.” Sheilor didn’t tell the lie, earlier used that stream mysterious power in his body, his stomach suddenly felt hungry, he ate a few small snacks in succession, drank down a few glasses of wine, but it still didn’t have too much blush on his face.

  But he didn’t know, he ate and drank casually on the sofa, in the eyes of Charlie Tai and the steward Ken, that became the expression which he had the clear and bright state of mind and defied the foreign object.

  “It looks like that you this kind of big shot really also have the dangerous life.” Sheilor shook his head and said, “but… aren’t you really not afraid at all?”

  Charlie Tai silenced for a long time, then he had the smile to raise his that kept putting on the arm of the sofa left hand, that thin as the girl’s hand was shivering in the air, “of course I am afraid, because I am still very young, my this life is doomed to do many great things, I am still reluctant to die, thus I am scared to die. But I just don’t want others to find out that I am afraid.”

  He paused for a moment, continued to sa
y with the smile, “in fact, there are not too many this kind of things happened in my life. For me, to be assassinated also is a very strange encounter.”

  “Never had once before?” Sheilor asked curiously, he seemed to want to weaken the tension in his mind with the talking.

  “When I was a child, I hid my identity, studied in a elementary school in the Capital, at that time I was in the same class with Youzhi.” the eyes of Charlie Tai became empty suddenly, he recalled, “later one day of the sixth grade in the elementary school, I was about to get on the car, suddenly a heavy truck blunt come over from the other end of the street. That truck blunt come over all the way, I thought that I was going to die at first, but didn’t think of that the tire of that truck burst suddenly at last, the truck turned the direction forcibly ten meters in front of me, hit breaking a tree.”

  “Not the traffic accident?”

  “Later on the police station set the character of the accident, it’s a hit and run… that truck crashed four cars on the street, including our school bus, only from the scene to see, it’s really like a car accident.” the eyes Charlie Tai became gloomy suddenly, “a total of seventeen people died, there were two students in my class died.”

  “That truck turned the direction at the last minute, that’s because it’s hit blow the tire by the security personnel of my family, who was hidden on the other side of school with the anti-equipment gun…”

  “I only experienced the danger once in my this life.” the expression of Charlie Tai calmed down, he continued to say, “our family has no more than me in seven generations, so we always have paid attention to these aspects. Today it’s the second time… my luck was not bad for the first time, I hope that my luck also would be not bad for today.”

  Sheilor looked at Charlie Tai that seemed slightly pale gaunt cheeks, he suddenly felt the sympathy to the other party in his heart, felt that his this kind of life, also was not much better than his this orphan fugitive life. Thought of that night in the H1 area, this in front of him younger than him guy, the helpless look when he fainted in his arms, he had the impulse to protect the other party emerged in his heart.

  “Stop worrying, today you would be all right.” Sheilor said very seriously.

  “The access is unobstructed, no dense crowd, can pass now.”

  In the calling device, someone reported with the rapid and composed tone. Put on the body armor and wore the helmet Charlie Tai and Sheilor two people, in the guard of the more than ten armed to the teeth security members, walked out of the luxury balcony, and walked to the outside of the gymnasium.

  Two dead body lay in the VIP special elevator, the elevator door closed and opened, had the never ceased repeat.

  The empty walk stairs had a burst of rapid footsteps sounded up, Sheilor followed behind Charlie Tai, through the glass mask, he saw bullet holes on the wall and the blood on the corners. He heard his quick breath by the ears, walked down the stairs following behind everybody. He thought in his heart, don’t know how many security members of the Tai family died in her today.

  This area of the gymnasium had already been cleaned empty by the security personnel, secured the safety, those not died by luck in the gunfight service personals were gathered in a room. When they walked pass by there, Sheilor couldn’t help to take a look at the inside, saw the panic expression on the faces of those girls, he couldn’t help to feel frustrated slightly in his heart.

  The stairs lead to the underground parking lot, this group of people opened that door, then they saw a black car without any sign. The back door of the black car had already been opened, the steward Ken was sitting on the driver’s position.
