Chapter 187 - Surrender, or Die

Chapter 187: Surrender, or Die

Li Beinian was stunned as she looked at the man before her.
Hearing what Mu Xichen said, that person looked agonizingly at his friend lying lifelessly on the floor.
With one hand around Li Beinian’s neck, he took a step back.
“Don’t come over!” He yelled. “Or I’ll kill her!”
Mu Xichen did not move.
But his eyes went cold.
He seemed extremely threatening.
The man got even more anxious. “Put the gun down!”
He called out, “Otherwise, I’ll kill your friend!”
There was a cold, painful knock on Li Beinian’s head.
She felt her head throb.
Li Beinian’s heart was about to pounce out of her chest as she looked up Mu Xichen.
She tried to calm herself down and keep her eyes on him.
That alone helped quell some of her fears.
Mu Xichen’s expression was calm as usual. He slowly put the gun down.
“Put your hands up!”
His saliva was almost on her face as he spat his terrible Chinese.
Li Beinian kept completely still.
Mu Xichen was very cooperative. He raised his arms slowly.
Li Beinian could feel the man behind her heave a huge sigh of relief. He pointed the gun away from her but aimed it at Mu Xichen instead.
Now!
Li Beinian’s eyes darkened.
She elbowed backward.
“Ah!”
A scream, followed by a gunshot!
Mu Xichen frowned and hurriedly got his gun moving swiftly towards her.
Li Beinian was shocked at how quick his reflexes were!
That man was already by her side by the time she reacted.
That moment of life and death seemed to have passed.
Her heart was at ease now.
Mu Xichen hurriedly held her in his arms.
That other man wanted to pull her back.
But before he did so, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist!
“Ah!”
Mu Xichen had stepped on his wrist.
His eyes were dark as he bent his wrist backward.
The man looked up in shock and saw a gun pointed to his head.
The tables had turned!
Seeing Mu Xichen, that man was panting in shock and desperation.
“Mu, I don’t wish to pit myself against you. Let me go and I’ll give you money!”
Mu Xichen said coldly, “Surrender, or die.”
It was a succinct few words, but it hit Li Beinian hard.
She turned away from that man and realized that Mu Xichen looked extremely calm as he brimmed with a sense of dominance and authority.
He was… completely different from usual!
Li Beinian had a strange feeling.
At that moment, Li Beinian was a little lost in thoughts. Grandpa’s words echoed in her head. “You’d better stay away from Mu Xichen. He’s a dangerous man.”
So… was this the real Mu Xichen?
