Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 273: Third World: Flirting While Fighting

The huge mansion descended into eerie silence giving off a sense of unease to all its occupants. Wen Qinxi stealthily followed Qie Ranzhe down the corridor, not sure what to expect. From what Qie Ranzhe told him earlier, this team was the best in the army. Their methods were both crude and clean to the extreme.

These were the type of guys the President would call if he wants to start chaos without leaving behind any evidence. Wen Qinxi sincerely hoped the Black Cobras title was in name only otherwise he might die from shock if he sees the king of snakes.

As expected, these guys were pros. The hall that was once heavily guarded were now empty with nobody in sight. This was their way of hiding their tracks. The one body that was found was probably a trick to draw out Qie Ranzhe and Feng Zi. Their plan proved effective as they successfully smoked the dragon and the phoenix out of hiding. As to why the two lovers permitted it, it was because they knew their combined strength was on par with the elite team and it was also better to get this over and done with as quickly as possible. They still had a son to protect.

Qie Ranzhe who was walking ahead of Feng Zi suddenly stopped and gestured for him to keep silent. Wen Qinxi naturally agreed with his heart pumping fast against his chest. This was like playing PUBG in real life with high stakes. It was both exhilarating and terrifying which was a great experience for this nerd.

The general gestured for him to stay put as he turned a corner. Wen Qinxi obediently stayed put as muffled scuffles reached his ears. Once the sound died down, a wave of anxiety swept over him so he curiously took a look and saw one of the masked men being held in a choke hold by Qie Ranzhe as he stabbed repeatedly into the man's chest. The scene was gory and nauseating that Wen Qinxi couldn't help but dry heave.

Because he was distracted by his gastrointestinal tract, a sniper took advantage of this opportunity and aimed at Feng Zi's head that was partially sticking out at the corner.

A sharp cracking sound reached Wen Qinxi's ears so he instinctively moved back in hiding just in time for the bullet to strike the wall chipping off its sharp corner. The notion that he almost got shot angered Wen Qinxi that he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to. The psycho setting activated making it hard for him to empathize with the enemy.

Wen Qinxi exposed himself without any hesitation confusing the sniper who was lying in wait. He had heard of Feng Zi's combat skills but it turns out the man was stupid exposing himself with no restraint. What he didn't expect was that Feng Zi was faster than him at pulling the trigger. In a split second his skull was cracked open by a swift bullet from a Maxim 9, not even giving the man sufficient time to say his last words.

Because of that one shot, their position was exposed as the Black Cobras communicated with each other exposing the target's coordinates. Qie Ranzhe grabbed his lover and hid behind a pillar as a trigger happy member emptied an entire magazine. But the assassin's enthusiasm earned a scolding from his team leader. They needed the target alive but it seemed his men would gladly go against orders just to slaughter Feng Zi for his crimes.

Qie Ranzhe was pressing Feng Zi against the wall shielding his body from harm. Though Feng Zi was wearing a bulletproof vest, Qie Ranzhe wasn't reassured. This man was the apple of his eye. Losing Feng Zi was equal to him losing his own life thus he shielded him with his own body.

The rain of bullets finally came to an end with a radio message sounding, "Stop shooting! Stop shooting damnit. We need the target alive!" echoing in the large hall.

Black Cobras were normally disciplined but Feng Zi was just an eyesore that condemned the earth to its doom. Because the reason for keeping Feng Zi alive wasn't conveyed, these men disregarded the president's order and turned Feng Zi into a moving target. Translation, they didn't intend to leave this mansion without Feng Zi's corpse.

Qie Ranzhe leaned down and asked, "Are you okay?" his warm breath enticing Wen Qinxi. This dangerous situation was igniting a passionate fire that had Wen Qinxi's ears blushing.

He didn't respond closing his eyes while immersed in the wonderful sensation. Their bodies which were pressed together turned feverish. With such an ambiguous atmosphere filling the room, one would think they would rip each other's clothes and do it right then and there. Qie Ranzhe's hands were sliding down the sides of his lover, his breathing getting shallower with each passing moment.

Wen Qinxi opened his eyes sensing danger. He pressed his palm against the back of Qie Ranzhe's neck allowing him to further sink into his neck before firing two successive shots at a sneaky assassin. With the enemy's body tumbling to the floor, Qie Ranzhe embraced Feng Zi's waist and led him away from the pillar while firing an accurate shot at the maniac who was shooting at them earlier.

The two managed to escape and found a new hideout to reevaluate their strategy. They were obviously outnumbered but they weren't the kind of people to drop everything and run. So it was time to deal some damage to the enemy and end this. The pair split in different directions agreeing to meet at the backdoor of the mansion.

It was as though when they were apart they changed into bloodthirsty beasts slaughtering the enemy like livestock with ease. This situation was oddly similar to a girl who eats gracefully in front of their boyfriend but turns into a gluttonous little pig in private. When the pair were together there were so shy about killing but in private they sliced and diced the enemy with no mercy. The smell of blood wafted throughout the mansion turning it into a house of horrors.

Wen Qinxi beat the Black Cobras at their own game, killing with a creepy smile that had the team leader shudder as he watched the red demon slaughter his members from his men's body cams. It was apparent that regular means wouldn't suffice to bring down this troublesome big boss so he chose a risky method. The Black Cobras were indeed named this way not in name only. Their members could indeed transform into different kinds of cobras which wasn't a good thing for Wen Qinxi. His worst fear was about to come true.

Wen Qinxi was busy putting an assassin in his place that he didn't notice a venomous creature slithering above him. The black serpent watched with interest as its prey sliced its team members. The serpent slowly opened its mouth exposing its long fangs and charcoal black inner lining. It zeroed in on Feng Zi's neck and in a swift motion, it struck the enemy with ease before slithering away.
