“It’s okay. They’re no match for us.” Lu Li smiled faintly and whispered, “But I’m afraid I can’t guarantee your colleague’s safety.”

On the other side of the line, after a long silence, Wen Ning said in a low voice, “Don’t kill them if you can.”

Lu Li smiled and said, “Then you have to make sure they won’t try to kill me. Otherwise you can be sure we’re going to take a few of your men down with us.” As soon as he finished speaking, the dustbin was riddled with bullets. Qiao Liang looked around, when suddenly, he felt someone take his hand and pull him back. He quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Li’s arm. Before Lu Li realized what had happened, the two of them were standing in a house, and the one standing in front of them was…

Tang Xi.

Tang Xi was pale, maybe it was out of nervousness that she was panting. She took Qiao Liang’s hand and whispered, “Through this door, there’s a basement just like the one in my house. Keep going and you can go to another street. Remember to take off your masks.”

Lu Li looked at Tang Xi in shock. How could she suddenly appear here? And how could she just show up in this house, open the door and save them?

In fact, they could escape using their own strength, although it might be troublesome… Suddenly he remembered he was still on the call with Wen Ning, so he told Wen Ning, “Now your colleagues and I are both safe. You can rest assured.”

Wen Ning was relieved to hear that and asked, “Where are you now?”

Lu Li was about to speak, when his another cell phone suddenly rang. He said “Just a minute” and picked up the call. There came the low and deep voice of Lin Yuan from the phone, “Your cell phone has been located. Who are you talking to?”

Lu Li’s face immediately turned pale. He hung up on Lin Yuan, looked at the Caller ID on the screen of his other phone and chuckled as he asked, “Of course I’m still in the alley. Can’t you see that?”

“Lu Li!” Wen Ning turned pale with shock. She tried to explained, “It’s not what you think. Listen to me…”

“That’s enough, Wen Ning!” Lu Li said coldly, “I should have known your purpose when you suddenly confessed your love to me, but I was so stupid to be tricked by your lies! I don’t want to see you again for the rest of my life if I can. Let’s break up. Even if we meet in the future, we will only be enemies. Either I’ll kill you or I am killed by you. From this moment on, there isn’t any affection left between us.” With that, Lu Li hung up and threw the phone out of the window.

He fell into silence after he threw the phone out and closed the window. When did she install a locator in his cell phone? Was it that night… that night they confessed their love to each other. He didn’t expect she still had the time to install a locator in his phone… No wonder she was so successful in her career and had been a senior inspector of Interpol at such a young age. She was even willing to sell herself in order to get intelligence on him!

Qiao Liang didn’t expect this. Although he didn’t hear what Wen Ning and Lin Yuan said, he had guessed what happened from Lu Li’s words. But did that innocent little girl in his memory really try to kill them?

Tang Xi’s hearing was good, so she heard Lin Yuan and Wen Ning’s words. She was pale and looked feeble. She smiled to Lu Li and said gently, “Brother Lu, maybe you really have Wen Ning wrong. Why don’t you give her a chance to explain? Maybe it’s not her.”

“Rourou, you don’t understand. As a senior inspector of Interpol, she is not a common girl. The only thing that matters to her is her job, her career, and how many medals she can win.” Lu Li noticed that Tang Xi was pale, and hurriedly asked, “Do you have a cold? Why do you look so pale?”

Tang Xi, feeling the energy in her body was draining out, shook her head with a smile, saying, “I’m fine. I’m out of breath, because I ran too fast.”

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Liang quickly shielded Tang Xi behind him, and the latter pointed at a knob on the stairs, saying, “Twist it.”

Lu Li hurriedly twisted the knob. Now was not the time to be sentimental. They came here today to solve problems, not create problems. They should get out of here first. A path appeared under the stairs as soon as he twisted the knob. Qiao Liang carried Tang Xi down, and Lu Li followed them down. Then Tang Xi pointed at a silver string, saying, “Pull it.”

Lu Li pulled it and the path disappeared from the ground. Lu Li looked at Tang Xi in surprise, and Qiao Liang gazed at her. Tang Xi smiled. She could see the worry in Qiao Liang’s eyes, but she couldn’t tell him the truth.

“Did you…” Qiao Liang took a deep breath and asked in worry, “Did you use your special ability again, just like last time when you saved Xiao Yao?”

Tang Xi paused and looked at him in astonishment. She then blinked, forced a smile and shook her head. “No, I promise you that I’ll be fine as long as I sleep. I won’t have any problem once I get a good amount of rest. Let’s get out of here first, okay? Since there are shootings, the police will blockade the surrounding streets within ten minutes, and then we won’t be able to leave here.”

However, she knew that taking a sleep wouldn’t help. 008 had warned that if she used the all-purpose skills again, she might fall asleep forever, unless… unless… well, 008 didn’t tell her.

Tang Xi thought let it be. She just wanted Qiao Liang to be safe. She couldn’t just sit by and do nothing when she heard the gunshot on the phone! She couldn’t just ask him, “Are you alright?” She just couldn’t! So she came here, and saved Qiao Liang. If she didn’t come here, open that door with the help of 008 and let Qiao Liang and Lu Li hide here, what would have happened to them?

“It’s alright. Our reinforcements will come here soon.” Lu Li said, “And the police won’t blockade the streets now that Provence is in a riot. There aren’t any casualties here. The police won’t blockade the streets to avoid causing a panic.”

Tang Xi smiled and said, “That’s good.” Then she fell into a coma.

Qiao Liang turned pale, and kept calling her name, but she didn’t wake up…

Just then, gunshots rang outside the door. Lu Li said, “It must be our men. We can go out now.”

Qiao Liang carried Tang Xi in his arms, and followed Lu Li out. After walking for about two hundred meters, a door appeared in front of them. Lu Li pushed the door open, and a female agent was standing on the other side of the door, looking at them with a smile. “Mr. Qiao, Mr. Seven.”
